MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY
Cornelius Stage Shot Down b.
highwaymen
Thoughth Was Slaughter ofthe Keeper
Of One Of the Most Famous Roadhouses
in San Francisco

San Francisco, March 16.-Cornelius
Stagg, the proprietor of the Ingleside
House, an out of town resort, was shot
and killed by footpad tonight.
The Ingleside is a favorite resort for
midnight parties, being one of the most
notorious roadhouses in this county. The
receipts of the house are very large and
the locality is peculiarly adapted for such
q crime.
About 10 O'Clock Stagg was sitting in
side room talking with one of his colored
hOstlers, when a man entered from door
leading from the saloon. He was masked
and carried large pistol in his hand. He
commanded Stagg to surrender and to ac-
company him to the saloon, but Stagg,

him on the temple with the butt
end of the revolver and then shot him over
the right eye, killing him instantly. The
murderer's pal was in the saloon, having
meanwhile covered the bar keeper and
two visitors with his pistol. When he
heard the shot he went behind the coun-
ter, and pushing the bar keeper aside,
opened the till and removed the contents.
Both robbers then made their escape.
They are supposed to be the same men
who held up crowd of people in Hag-
gertys saloon on the ocean beach near
the Cliff House few weeks ago when
they made good haul and escaped.
Officers and citizens are now searching
the surrounding country for the perpe-
traitors of tonight's crime but the chances
OF catching them are very slim, as the
land is very thickly covered with shrubs,
and the thieves will have no difficulty in
eluding the officers after dark. though they
may be apprehended during the daylight
hours as the roads are being carefully pa

THE WINE OF CALIFORNIA
The Warming of an Eastern Pape
Replied To

San Francisco, March 16.-C. Carpy,
President of the California Wine Asso-
citation, has replied to the warning of the
New York Sun, that California COM
bination to raise the price of wines was
a grave mistake which might forfeit the
Eastern market to this state.
'While the prices paid the produ GERS
here have advanced eighty per cent,
said Mr.. Carpy, 1.-The cost of wine to
Eastern consumers has not been in
creased, nor is it likely to advance. In
the re-adjustment of prices following the
recent viticultural organizations the pro-
ducer has simply been enabled to get a
ia ir share of the profits which were form
erly absorbed by the mddlemen, the con
sumner receiving his wine at the same
price. By putting on the market better
quality OF wine we hope to create de-
mand for California vintages among
Americans who have not been wine
drinkers and among those who have been
demanding foreign wines. We have killed
here the prejudice against California
wines. We must do the same work in
the East by proving that our wines
are at least as good and as pure as foreign
vintages.

will be only to give us fair profit on
our capital and at the same time enable

five and six cents gallon. Similar wines

VALLEY RAILROAD BOOM
A Contract Closed for 1000 Tons of
Railroad Iron
The Question of Route for the Road Dis
cussed by the eDrectors--Surveys
Ordered

San Francisco, March 16.-The board of
directors of the San Francisco and San
Joaquin Valley Railroad Company closed
a contract today for the transportation
of 1000 tons OF railroad iron from New
York to San Francisco on the steamer
Washtenaw, which is soon to sail for New
York.
At the meeting today the board of di-
rectors also took up the question of a
Holbrook, Watt and Magee as a special
committee to have full charge of the work
of the engineers who are to make the pre-
liminary surveys. 1t is thought that
three or four surveying parties will be in
the field before the end OF next week.
Harbor Commissioners Cole and Chad
bourne declare that they will not vote to
lease water front and dock privileges of
the state to the San Joaquin Valley Rail
road Company. 1t must. they say, be
satisfied with the mud flats lying inside
the street line. These commissioners will
not, however have all to say in the mat
ter. Under the lease bill the authority to
lease water front privileges is confined
not only to the three harbOr commits
sioners. but there is a specific provision
including the Governor and the Mayor of
San Francisco. Governor Budd and Mayor
Sutro are credited with holding views en-
tirely opposed to those expressed by
Messrs. Cole and Chadbourne. The decis-
ion of the matter would, therefore, lie in
the vote of E. A. Colnon the new harbor
commissioners and private secretary of
the Governor. He has not yet taken his
seat, but is expected to do so on Wednes-
day next.

SAVED FROM THE FLAMES
Rescue of Sixteen People From Burn-
ing Building
Heroic Work Done by Firemen In Omaha --Fire
Cut Off Escape Of the Inmates of
a Building

Omaha, March 16.-Sixteen people were
rescued from the third and fourth stories
of the burning Withnell Block, corner of
Fifteenth and Barney streets, today by
Omaha firemen with the aid of extension
ladders. A number of them were young
women and all were carried out in safety.
Though the damage to the block was less
than $40, ,00O it cut off all escape by des-
troying the elevator and staircase and for
few minutes rendered the situation
of the inmates who were on the
top floors very critical. Many
of them were with difficulty restrained
from jumping to the pavement below.
While a number of streams were turned
on the fire, the hook and ladder men hur-
ried up their long ladders and applied
themselves to the rescue of the thorough
ly frightened inmates. The evidences of
incendiarism was reported by the detec-
tives. They examined the debris and
found deposits of combustibles. Circum-
stantial evidence of arson was so strong
that William Schultz and his manager,
James H. McCabe, were arrested, charged
with firing the building,

Report of the Committee on the
Buggy Bribery Case
ZONE MAN SWORE FALSELY"
Biggy Reiterates His Charges In q
Dramatic Manner
Suggestions That the Matter Be Referred to
the Grand Jury--The Committee
Continued

Sacramento, March 16.-The Biggy In
vetigating committee reported to the Sem
ate tonight in report OF thirty type
written pages. 1t reviews the evidence
as given before the committee, and al
ready published, and concludes that the
evidence of Mr.. Kahn is not sufficiently
corroborative to overcome the conflict in
evidence between Biggy and Dunn,
therefore we are unable to decide from
the evidence adduced the truth or falsity
OF the charge in said resolution con-
tanned.
1--WE further report that we did not, in
our opinion, have time to enter into the
question as to a combine and complete
investigation within the life OF this SEN
ate, and therefore refused to hear any
evidence concerning the same:
From all the evidence adduced, it is
plain that one OF the Senators involved
in this affair has sworn falsely and
should be held up to the world in his
true light and be punished for his mis-
conduct. On the other hand, it is equally
plain that one of them has spoken the
truth. and it is but meager justice to him
that he be able to substantiate his words
more fully than has been possible in the
very limited time at the disposal of the
committee. From both considerations,
therefore, your committee recommends:
"First-That the whole matter be re-
ferred to the Grand Jury of Sacramento
county.
'Second-That the committee be con-
tinued in existence with power to sit dur
ing recess of the Legislature and report
the result of it's labors to the Governor.
"We feel that some further inquiry is
due to the innocent party. to the people
of the state and to the good name OF this
hOnnra hlo h0dv. ~
The report was adopted and Senator
Fay of San Francisco then offered q reso-
luton empowering the committee to sit
after adjournment.
AS substitute, Burke OF Santa Cruz
offered a resolution turning the whole
matter over to the Sacramento Grand
Jury.
Dunn OF. San Francisco here rose and
said the charges made against him were
utterly false and he hoped thorough in
vestigation would be made.
Biggy replied to Dunn in an epithetic
speech. declaring that he never had and
never would tell aught but the truth. He
said he had never desired to go into poll
Tics, but mad yielded to the:wishes Of his
friends.
II came here determined to resist all
temptation. and have done So. I have
told nothing but the truth in all have
said. That man Dunn denies these charges.
but swear by the God above that all
have said'is Gods truth"
When Biggy went on to reiterate the
charges about the combine, President
Flint called him to order, but on Senator
Seawalls motion Biggy was allowed to
continue. When Biggy concluded there
was more talk. The question was put,
and Burke's substitute, turning the whole
matter over to the Sacramento Grand
Jury, was adopted. The Senators then de-
voted themselves to parliamentary levity,
continuing until midnight.
