THE WRIGHT ACT DECISION

The press of California seems to hold
that Judge Ross has dealt a body blow at
the irrigation interests and at the credit
of the state. This may be so, but even if
it is there is no reason for finding cause
for censure of the judge. Some of his de-
cisions have apparently been open to the
charge of being against the interests of
the people, but they have all been evil
IDENTIFY based on the principles of law, as
the court found it, and never has even
a suspicion of any motive but that of the
most scrupulous integrity and fidelity to
the rules of justice as nowadays admin
istored been even limited at. Judge Ross
does not go to the pcint of deciding
whether law is good or bad one; he
decides case by what he understands
the law to be, and the fact that the re-
versal of his opinions have been as lnfre-
quent as the finding of teeth in hens
jaw goes to show that the judge knows
his ground.
The blow at the irrigation interests by
the decision in question is severe one
and Will seriously affect extensive tinan-
clal interests, but 1t is better to have it
come now than later, when those interests
would have been increased ten or a hun
dred fold.
The thing to do now is not to ca vii at
the court or the law as interpreted in the
decision, but to make a complete test
case and rush it to the United States su-
preme court as fast as possible. That is
the tribunal "of the last guess" as it has
been termed, and while it has reversed
Itself on some occasions, no other tribu-
preme justices uphold the Wright act
Judge Ross nor no other Judge can inval-
date it, but until sucn test case is de-
cided there is no sense or value in a
policy of kicking and planning. All
the editors and bankers and farmers in
the state may hold that the view taken
by Judge Ross is wrong. but the decision
is delivered and nothing will avail
against it except an appeal-an appeal
that may or may not be remedial.

sUnMER SCHOOL FOR FARMERS

Summer schools are now the fashion.
They can hardly be called fad, for they
have been brought into vogue by the very
class of people who DO not believe III fads
The big colleges ana the religious demon
nations each have now some sort Of a
summer school. The idea is probt bly, de-
velored from the old-tashloned camp-meet-
ing. There are great number OF people
throughout the country, who, possessed of
the desire to improve their education.
have no other lime TO devote to it than
the few weeks vacation they take during
the summer months.
Il may be claimed by some that such q
procedure on the part of the worker de-
stroys the intent and beneficial results
from the standpoint OF health, Of the Va
cation. Results prove, however, that this
is not tue. The clerk. salesman, or even
business man, wto is sufficiently inter
seizes upon the two or three or four weeks
he devotes to school as the best kind cf
vacation. The beneficial results of a va
cation come not 50 much from the rest
from labor as from the change of the daily
routine, new scenes and change OF habits.
In every instance the summer schools

NATIONAL GUARD CHANGES
Adjutant- General Barrett Issues Several
Orders
Cavalry Company Located at this Point
to De Mustered In by rlajor
Owens

SACRAMENTO, July 24.-After several
meetings of the state military board of To-
caticn. Adjutant General. Barrett today
issued some orders which will bs of great
importance to the various military organ
izations throughout the state. One OF the
orders transfers Company A from tho
First infantry to the Third regiment. 1t
attaches Company A OF Eureka. formerly
of the Tenth battery. to the First, taking
the place of Company A.
The orders consolidate Company OF
the naval battalion with Companies Z
and d of the naval battalion.
Regulations also change batteries B and
a of the light batteries into cavalry com
panles, making the San Francisco troop
A and the company Mt Sacrament O troop
Il. The orders attach troop A of San
Francisco to the Second brigade and troop
b to the Third brigade.
Under the orders. the signal corps at
stockton is mustered out and the signal
corps at Sacramento is increased from
ten to twenty men.
The orders muster in calavry COM
pany at Salinas, ana Captain Darlington
of the regular army is detailed to perform
the muster work. The orders also locate
cavalry company at Los Angeles. and
Majo, NJ. T. Owens, retired, is detailed
to 90 the work of mastering.
The orders require that all companies
of the National guard shall drill with u
minimum of not less than fifty men up
to January l. next. This rule will be en-
forced in order to give all companies a
chance to put themselves in good condi-
tion by the first of next year.
Several localities have been fearing that
their military companies would be
mustered out. The new orders will. no
DOUBT. put all of them upon their mettle
within the next few months, particularly
in attendance upon drills.

NEW INFORMATION
Points Which Indicate That the Presa Trag.
edy Was Murder

SAN DIEGO, July 24.-Charles Schaeff-
r,sson of Mrs. Louise Schaeffer, whose
charred body was found in the ruins of
her house at La Presa few days ago,
visited the scene OF the fire today accom-
panied by Constable Marks and gained
Information which tends to strongly cor
roborate the theory that the woman was
murdered. 1t was learned from Mrs.
Thomas Costello, who wa ked home with
Mrs. Schaeffer on the night of the fire.
that when Mrs. Costello offered to go into
the house and light the lamp Mrs. .Schaeff-
er said it was not necessary. as she was
not gong to have a light. This negatives
the idea previously held that the fire was
caused by an explosion. 1t was also
learned that Mrs. Schaeffer reached her
house at 10 :l5 p m.. but the house was
not in flames until nearly an hour later.
Had she lighted the lamp and had it eX-
pioded, the flames would have been seen
long before 10 o'clock. Mrs. Schae ffer $
son and her friends now believe that she
was murdered by some one who knew her
ways and was secreted in the house wnen
she came home on that fatal night.

ONE OF OUR SUMMER RESORTS

The Herald has several times called
attention to the fact that southern Cali
fornia should be more widely advertised
and known as q summer resort. We have
here some of the most delightful spots on
earth IN which to pass the heated term
furnish bill of particulars in connec-
tion with this statement, one of the first
resorts ones mind tuins to is Santa Bar
bara, the beautiful. Somewhere within
the suns domain there may be a neglect
ed nook where the balmy breezes are
more exhilarating, where nature has Law
ished more beauteous gifts. but the aver
age mortal is content with his surround
ings at Santa Bar bara. As to climate. no
words or meteorological statistics can
convey an adequate idea of its charm.
Enoughsto say the air is dry, pure elias
tic, transparent and bracing. The charm
OF Santa Barbara, like that of many other
of our resorts. grows upon one, no mat
ter how long a resident.
Santa Barbara has other attra ctons
than that of being summer resort. The
fact that over one million acres in the
county are now under cultivation proves
that the agricultural resources OF the
county are what they are claimed to be.
Her resources are as varied as those of
any county in Southern California For
the small farmer Santa Barbara presents
many advantages.

NEGRO WANDERERS IN WANT
Southern Emigrants ID Dire Distress
in Mexico
Feeding on nesquite Beans. Drinking Brackish
Water and Unable to Return to
Gods Country

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Bad news
has been received at the state depart
ment from the colony OF American ne
groes who went into Mexico some tim
ago and settled on tract OF land near
Tlanuailo. ~ telegram was received at
the state department this morniue from
United States Consul Sparks at Piedfas
Negras, stating that the negroes are in Il
deplorable condition. These emigrants
went from the southern states of the
United States, mostly from Alabama and
the Carolinas, under most allurins prom
ises from the emigrant agents of COM
Portable homes in Mexico, but from all
accounts they have been i'll treated and
suffered great hardships from the time of
their arrival in that country.
Consul Sparks says the negroes are scat
tered for niles along the railroad with
out funds, home or food living on mes
quite beans and brackish water. He is
powerless to do anything toward their
relief, and he fears trouble because the
negroes are starving. The railroads
offer to make liberal rates to take them
out of the country.
Later the consul reported that he has
received q telegram from DR.. l.. IL.
Barry at Torreon, Mexico, dated July
23d, to the effect that $50 of the negroes
from the colony were there in destitute
condition, with fifteen cases of contagious
diseases among them. The Mexican au.
thorities had prevented them from enter
ing the town. letter on the subjec
has been received at the state department.
from Representative Bankhead of Ala
bama, inquiring whether the govern
ment could assist in bringing back to
their homes the mem bers of this colony,
who are destitute. 1t is probable that if
the unfortunate resroes are to be saved
from starvation private aid must be ex-
tended to them Immediately.
The consul at Piedras Negras has been
instructed to render any assistance which
he can properly extend and to report any
serious developments. Our charge d.
affaires at the City of Mexico has been
informed also of the oondi ion OF these
emigrants as reported by the consul,
and has been instructed to inquire into
the treatment of the colonists. The de-
paItment of state has no funds which can
be applied to maintaining destitute
Americans other than seamen in foreign
countries, or to provide for their trans.
portation home, and has Deen obliged to
SO inform the consul and all those persons
who have made inquiries cDncerni 6

Cavalry to Be rlustered In

Mai or M. T. Owens yesterday received
a telegram from Adjutant-General A. W.
Barrett at Sacramento. detailing him to
muster in the new cavalry company in
this city. Major Owens is now on the
retired list OF the national guard, but is
still in command of the signal corps of
the brigade. not having been yet relieved
of thet responsibility. Major Owens has
brought this branch of the service up to
a high state of efficiency. and it is hoped
by the members that they will not lose
his service. The new cavalry company
will be quite an acquisition to the nation
al guard in this city. and no time Will oe
lost in perfectlng tho organization.
