Organization Of the Valley Road
Fund RaiSerS.
Claus SpreckeIs Elected Chairman and
/. +. Preston Secretary Another
Meeting to Be Held To-Day.

The committee of twelve, composed of
real estate owners who are to act in con-
junction with the executive committee of
the Traffic Association in the work of rails
ing the necessary funds to insure the in
corporation of the San Joaquin Valley
Railroad, met yesterday morning for the
first time in the Office of Claus Spreckels.
Those in attendance were: Claus Spreck-
els, James D. Phelan, Daniel Meyer, o. d.
Baldwin, Albert Miller, w. F. Whittier,
Charles Holbrook, Thomas Magee, John
T. Doyle and E. F. Preston.
James L. Flood and Alexander Boyd
were the only two gentlemen who had been
appointed ON the committee who were not
present, and it was stated that the absence
of the first named was due to the fact that
he is out of the city.
What transpired at yesterdays meeting
is known only to the members of the COM
mittee, and those approached yesterday
refused to make public the result of their
deliberations.
II have not word to say" said Daniel
Meyer when spoken to and asked for par
ticulars. "This committee means business
and is not seeking publicity at present.
An organization was effected, it was
learned, however, by the election OF C1auS
Spreckels as chairman and E. F. Preston
secretary. An informal discussion fol-
lowed as to the course which should be
pursued in raising subscriptions, but an
adjournment was taken until to-day with
out definite action.
The committee is sanguine that proper
canvass of the city will result in securing
all the money required, but there seems to
be minor difference of opinion as to the
amount which should be raised before
work is begun. Chairman Spreckels
thinks that all the money necessary to
construct the road should be subscribed
before active operations are instituted, but
it is understood that he Will not insist
upon this plan of procedure if it should
develop that it is inadvisable.
1t is said that at to-day's session SUBJ
committees will be appointed to at once
begin the work of canvassing, and that the
city will be districted in such manner as
will facilitate this work
81 consider the prospect good" said
Thomas Magee yesterday afternoon; ain
fact the situation looks better than it ever
did before.
Isaac Upham, president of the Traffic
Association, is naturally quite elated at
the outlook. s'The matter has now drifted
into the proper channel" said he, land
we anticipate nothing but favorable re-
suits from now on"

Is SAVED FROM PRISON.
Another Chance Given to Mrs. Dora
Hertz.
The Supreme Court Comments CauStically
Upon the Judges Charge
to the Jury.

The judgment of the Superior Court in
sentencing Dora Hertz to four years in San
Quentin for receiving stolen goods has
been reversed by the Supreme Court on the
ground that the defendant had not been
given proper trial. The case was before
Judge Wallace about a year ago.
The principal reasons for the reversal of
sentence of the court are founded upon
the Judges charge to the jury, and the
reflections he passed upon the credibility
OF some of the principal witnesses for the
defense OF the testimony of the daugh-
tiers of Mrs. Hertz, who were her principal
witnesses, the court said that of course the
jury, as men OF common-sense, would see
that those witnesses would say nothing
preludlclal to the cause of the defendant.
and of course, would say all in her behalf
which 1t was possible to introduce.
ms instruction, the Supreme Court
holds, was erroneous. If the rule by which
the testimony OF the defendant herself is
to be judged is to be extended to include
her relatives, the Supreme Court sees no
reason why 1T could not be extended to in
clude the friends of the defendant also,
and thus deprive the defense of what may
perhaps be its strongest element.
The review OF the evidence, the opinion
just rendered states, certainly did the pros
ecution no harm and the defendant no
good. Quoting from former decision the
Supreme Court opinion says: 1.-THE ex-
perience of every lawyer shows the readi-
ness with which jury frequently catch at
limitations from the court and the great
Difference which jurors pay to the sugges-
lions and opinions of the presiding judge
especially in closely balanced case, where
they can thus shift the responsibility of
decision of the issue from themselves to
the court. A word, look or tone may
sometimes in such cases be of great or even
controlling influence. A Judge cannot be
too cautious in a criminal trial in avoiding
all interference with the conclusions of the
jury upon the facts
The defendant and her husband, Louis
Hertz, kept what was known to the police
as a 'fence" on Pacific street, that is
store where thieves could safely dispose of
their plumber. The charge against the
couple was receiving stolen goods.
When the case came to trial, Mrs. Hertz
took the entire blame upon herself, saying
that her husband did not know the goods
which they received were stolen. She was
convicted and was sentenced to four years
in San Quentin. Hertz was acquitted.

TWO YEARS AN OUTCAST.
A COlored Sailor Is Driven From
Pillar to Post.
Reported Loss Of the American Bark
Harvester on the Southeast
Coast of Africa.

A colored sailor named Peter Wallace is
now telling tale of dire distress on the
water front
He has been an outcast in this city al
most since his arrival two years ago, sleep
ing out during the late severe weather and
eating what he could find, although he was
perfectly willing to work
Wallace sailed from Liverpool in the
British ship Mowhan for Portland, Or. At
that port he was induced to desert his YES
sci, though $50 was owed him. From Port
land he came to this city, where he shipped
on whaler.
The season was not favorable and on the
return OF the vessel his clay" amouted to
only $40. With this he went to Kava-
naugh's clearinghouse, on Howard street,
where hes says he was kept six days and
then turned out without even his clothing
Inc matter was reported to the Chief of
Police, who sent an officer to the boarding
house and recovered the clothes. Appli-
cation was then made to the British Consul
for assistance, but that was refused on the
ground that Wallace had deserted his ship.
AS he was passing along section of the
seawall IN the rain of last Tuesday, hare
footed and half naked, Wharfinger Dryden
accosted him and asked if he was not hum.

Salvation Army's Lifeboat were given him
he shed tears of gratitude.
This was how the army secured one of its

That Is the Latest Chicago Scheme for q

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-There are some enter
prising Chicago gentlemen who have a
tremendous scheme on hand in the line of
railway enterprise which, if carried out,
will revolutionize passenger travel between
Eastern and Western coasts. Regarding
the bill introduced in the House of Repre-
sentatiyes at Washington yesterday to in
corporate the National Central Railway
Company and providing that the United
States shall guarantee interest of per
cent on the company's bonds, Mr.. J. G..
Reynolds, one of the .originators of the
project, was seen at his home, 302 South
Robey street, to-day. He said regarding
the proposed road:
1.-THE line has been surveyed east to New
York, and we have pretty definite idea as
to our route west. The enterprise is to be
backed by English capital. Mr.. Balm,
who is the active member of the company,
has been to England several times and has
pledges from English capitalists, who will
furnish the money when the bill is passed
Sir Richard Fox, a prominent English cap
italist, has a favorable opinion of the pro-
posed line. The road will shorten the
distance between New York and Chicago
at least $50 miles and about the same to
San Francisco

TAX ABOUT THE thrift.
Louisiana Hen Not WiIting to Gtre Up tn
DifereRtidI.


DifereRtidI.
WASHINGTON, Jan. "a. = The Attorney
General in an opinion rendered to-day
holds that goods imported and entered for
warehouse prior to the act of 1894 and not
withdrawn for consumption within three
years from the date of original importation
are unaffected by the new rates of duties
and that the ''duties' mentioned in section
1872 of the revised statutes are the duties
to which they were previously subject.
The opinion applies not only to goods i'm
ported within three years before the act of
1894 took effect, but to all goods heretofore
imported and then subject to the tariff
rates of 1890.
Wilson, chairman of the Committee on
Ways and Means, to-day conferred with
Senators Blanchard and Gallery about his
bill on the report OF the differential duty
OF tenth of cent on sugar imported
from bounty-paying countries. The inter
view is understood to have been brought
about by the report that the sugar pro-
ducers would antagonize the Wilson bill and
the conference confirmed this report. The
Louisiana Senators took the position that
the duty added tenth of cent a pound
to the value of all the sugar produced in
this country and say at that rate it is worth
IN the aggregate about $500, 600 annually to
their State alone
