STOCKTON OFFERS A BONUS
Right=0f= Way TO the Water Front for
the Valley Road
The City Council Gives a Valuable Line to
the New Road ConditionaIiy.
The Route

Stockton, March l5.-The City Council
met in special session this morning and
granted the San Francisco and San Joa-
quin Valley Railroad a right of way
through the city to the water front. The
route lies along South and Edison streets
to Weber avenue, thence along the ave-
nue., skirting the main wharves, to Ell
Dorado street. The right of way was
asked for by Fl. j. Corcoran, who said
that the directors OF the new road wanted
something tangible from Stockton in the
way Of entry privileges. The promptness
with which the right of way was granted
shows the feeling toward the new road in
that city.
Mr.. Corcoran has in his possession a tel
egram from Senator Boggs, in which he
grants the new company the right Of way
across his land at the western edge of the
town and along a four mile levee that
reaches Weber avenue near Edison street.
In addition to the rights of way, Mr.. Cor
coran will hand the directors document
from the Farmers Union and Milling
Company granting valuable CONCESSIONS

Partner of R. q. Dun Had q
Right to Sign Checks
A TECHNICAL POINT RAISED
Action of the Court Practically Affirms
Justice Barrett
The Question Of Criminal Intent Figures In
the Matter-Error In the Charge
to the Jury

New York, March l5.-Today judgment
was reversed and a new trial ordered in
the case the people against Erastus Wy
man.
The decision was handed down in the
general term of the Supreme Court at 4
O. clock this afternoon. The action prac-
tically affirms the position taken by JUS
tice Barrett in granting certificate of
reasonable doubt that Judge Ingram erred
in refusing to charge the jury as to Wy
mans criminal intent when he commit
ted the forgeries for which he was indict-
ed and for which he was found guilty I'M
the court of oyer and terminer.
The Court holds that Wyman, as .part1
ner in r. G. Dun IL Company. had the
right to sign checks. but whether he exj
ercised the right by expressed or implied
authority is immaterial, so far as it al
fects the crime with which he is charged I
He was not called upon to answer fo}
having made the check but for endorsin$
Bulllnger's name on them with intent to
defraud.
If, therefore, he made the check to Bull
fingers order, having originally intended
to deliver it to him and subsequently,,
having, with intent to defraud, changed
his mind, and endorsed the check, hi
would be as guilty of the crime of forgeY1|
as though he had made the check with thu
original intention of fraudulently obtain1
ing the money.
The intent with which the act was donlI
was an essential ingredient of the crimI

THE RIOTERS DRIVEN OFF
Angry Poles Attack Catholic Church
in Chicago
Dislike Of q Priest Causes the Men to
Organize Into q hob and
Riot

EChicago, March 1.-Two hundred angry
Poles, men and women, stormed st.
Hedgwig's Catholic church at North
Hayne :avenue and Kosciusko today.
Five policemen who were on guard were
cowed by the mob, but on the arrival of
reinforcements the rioters were driven off.
There has been trouble in st. Hedgwig's
parish for many weeks. Father Barzin-
Ski was driven out three weeks ago and
police were called upon to protect church
property. Father Barzinski belonged to
the Order of Resurrectionists, which the
people objected to. Archbishop Feehan
sent Father Zydlaczyk to the church, but
he too was Resurrectionist and was re-
iected. The parishioners are determined
to oppose the reopening of the edifice.
Early today 200 Poles marched to the
church denouncing the priest, and de-
clared that they would prevent him from
serving mass. In q few minutes two
patrol wagons loaded with officers arrived
on the run. The angry crowd stood for
a moment, when forty policemen with
glittering guns in their hands marched
into the church. Some of the Polish Of
ficers informed the mob in their native
tongue that the police had orders to shoot.
That settled it and moment later the
crowd fled from the church. The police
arrested Josie Tawondowski and son, An
tone. who seemed to be ringleaders.
Search is being made for the woman s
husband. The priest celebrated mass
under guard of detail of police.

MISSED BY AN INCH
The Women Nearly Acquire the Right of
Franchise


Sacram epto, March Is. Through some
clever lobbying done in the State Senate
the women of California all but acquired
the right of suffrage today. A fortnight
ago the Assembly passed a ill.conferring
upon all women citizens the privilege OF
voting. This bill was defeated in the Sen
ate by the insertion of an amendment
which practically killed it, but notice of
during the absence of several Senator'S OPP
posed to woman suffrage, the women had
their bill called up and reconsidered. By
a vote of 10 to IA the Senate receded from
its amendment.
The women were jubilant, for they
claimed that Governor Budd had prom
ised to approve the measure. The women
were doomed to disappointment however,
for later in the day the opponents of the
bill rallied their forces and forced re-
consideration of the previous vote. BY a
vote of twenty to fifteen the Senate then
refused to recede from its amendment.
This kills the bill for all time. The wo-
men suffragists, though, have not labored
in vain, for they have secured the adop-
ton of a concurrent resolution for the
submission of the question to the people
IN the form OF a constitutional amend
ment at the next election. Had the bill
defeated today become a law and been
sustained by the courts, though there was
some doubt of its constitutionalitv, the
women would have been permitted to
vote on the proposed constitutional
amendment.

ApborIsms for Young Women

Do not believe that you will please men
by making a show of profundity. II the
man is profound he will be Disguised. If
he is stupid and shallow he will be fright
ened.
Do not fancy that love is everything.
Love is a voracious creature, and lives
and grows greatly upon things far more
substantial than kisses and protestations
of alteration.
Do not fancy that love is nothing.
There is no smile short of an absolute
vacuum for life without love.
Do not allow yourself to marry as long
as you have any mental reservations about
the man.
Do not tell men that you never intend
to marry. We all know that every woman
and every man on this ealth intends to
marry. 1t is only q question OF time and
right opportunity. The intention is Of
ten remote in men. 1t is never remote
enough to be vague in young unmarried
woman.
Above all, be careful and rational and
serious in your judgments OF men. DO
not put much faith in the theory, OF wo-
mems correct intuitions, about which so
much fudge is afoat. Reason is better
than instinct, although instinct is OF
much value to such as are incapable OF
reason.

THE MINISTER ANDBICYCLE
An Oakland Divine Gathered in by the
Police
The Clergyman Was Riding on the Sidewalk
Because the Streets Were
impossible

Oakland March 15.-This evening a
sensation was sprung in the bicycle cam
paign. Rev. David Mcclure, one of the
most venerable and most respected min
listers Of Oakland, was arrested for yiolat-
ing the ordinance compelling bicycle rid
ers to dismount on meeting pedestrians on
the sidewalk.
The humorous side Of the story lies in
the tact that DR.. Mcclure really rides on
the sidewalk on account of the ordinance
The streets OF Oakland are so badly cut up
with ruts and gullies, that the minister
goes to Alameda for biycle outing. He
was returning from his daily trip to Ala
media by way of Twenty eighth street.
At the Twelfth-street dam the minister
steered onto the sidewalk, the street at
the crossing being utterly impossible to
wheels. While half way across Officer
Stokes suddenly appeared, and observing
the Rev. Doctor passing a foot passenger,
placed him under arrest.
The ministers of this city are devoted
cyclists and have just started an agitation
by which they hope to secure for all wheel
men the privilege of riding on the side
walks where the streets are too rough to
ride the bicycle with ease and comfort.

Sacramento, March 15.-In the Assem-
bly, the committee on public health and
quarantine made an exhaustive report
to the Assembly this morning. The COM
mittee strongly urges the adjustment OF
state quarantine at all seaports, and
that the quarantine regulations be turned
over to the general governments The
committee urges further that the ma
tional quarantine officers should have iur-
isdiction over drainage, sewerage garbage
contamination, waterways, highways,
burial places, and in fact sanitary con-
ditions generally. The social evil is con.
sidered at length and police regulation and
prevention of contagion urged. The State
Board of Health asks to formulate plan S
to be presented to the next Legislature,
and the National Government is asked to
appropriate at least $75, 600 for equipping
quarantine stations.

WORK OF A WHITE FROST
Destruction Wrought to Fruit in
Northern California
Great Damage Done to Growing Crops,
Including Almonds, Peaches and
Other Fruits

Lodi, Cal, March 15.-The entire Moke-
lumne Valley was visited by a heavy
white frost late last night, damaging all
the ally vegetables and doing great in
Jury to almond orchards and fruit trees.
Stockton, Cal, March 15.-The heavy
frost that prevailed in this vicinity last
night and the night before has done great
damage to growing fruit, and almond or
chards around Acampo and Lodi suffered
considerable injury. In small orchards
straw was kept burning, and in this way
the trees were protected from the cold.
In large orchards, however, this was i'm
practicable. The apricot crop of the
orchards in the vicinity of Lodi was killed
and the growth OF the almond crop re-
tarded by about two weeks. 1t is impos-
sibe to estimate the loss, but it will be
considerable.
Naps, March 15.-Quite heavy frosts
have been experienced here for two
nights past but no great damage has
been done SO far. 1t may prove more Sc
rious than is now realized. Peaches sui
fered worst, while cherries and apricots
also got somewhat bitten. 1t is cold to-
night and bids fair for another frost.
New Castle, March 15.-Not the slight
est damage is reported from the New Cas-
tie foothills; crops of every kind are safe
and the outlook Is splendid. OrchardlstS
are jubilant and prospects indicate
splendid season.
Red Bluff, March 15-None of the fruit
raisers from the surrounding country have
reported any damage to their trees from
the frost. The weather observer says that
some damage must have been done, but
as vet there has been none reported, and
it is thought the buds are SO far advanced
that they have not been materially in
jured.
Sacramento March 15.-From the best
information at hand it does not appear
that any injury was done to young fruit
in this section by the frost on Wednesday
night. The atmosphere was dry and the
frost very light
