Appropriations

Sacramento, March 5.--The two rail
road bills in which Los Angeles Is inter-
ested we're reported from the Judiciary
Committee today in the Senate, the Salt
Lake bill with the recommendation that
II do pass and the Mathews bill without
recommendation. Senator Mathews urged
the committee to take action in both
cases. He said he believed that the intro

build railroads was what had spurred the
San FranGiscans to arrange for building
the San Joaquin Valley road. lie was
sutished that it was good bill. Some OF
the Senators raised the question OF con-
stitutionality, but finally the matter was
settled by agreeing to report it back with
out recommendation.
The Conference Committee has agreed
on the appropriation bill for the main

New Developments in the Big
Check Raising Scheme
MANY BANKS SUFFER LOSS
The Work Was Done With Ink
Killing Acid
The Union Pacific Treasurer Talks Of the
Matter-Flawless Work Done
by the Forgers

Omaha, Neb., March 5.-Startling dew
elopments have been brought to light in
the Union Pacific check raising swindle
today which are calculated to alarm all
corporations paying in checks. The DIS
covery was made that the gang which
operated on the Union Pacific system has
method of erasing ink with an acid
which defies the best made paper, which
is guaranteed to show the slightest pres
ence of acid or other foreign substance.
The amount secured by the work OF the
gang is not yet known, but it is not as
large as first supposed. The fact is not
regarded as of much Importance, how
ever, as compared with the new process
which is puzzling the company's chemists
and detectives.
The paper on which the checks are
printed have been regarded, until now, as
being absolutely proof against manipuia..
ton, but the operations OF the gang or
experts shattered all claims of the inven-
tors of the paper that their invention is
acid proof. The checks which were raised
faileq to show single erasure mark ana
the amount of the check in tgures IN the
right hand corner, as well as the written
amount in the body of the check were
been used in removing dust from table
top. Not content with removing the fig-
ures, in one instance the name of the
employee was removed and new name
substituted, showing they had mastered
the secret completely.
Frank Brown, local treasurer o. the
Union Pacific G m any, stated that he
had never seen check, so f1awlessly
altered as in the Denver case. They had
passed through his hands, ut powerful
glass had failed to show the least mani
lie tation, and he had not known the
checks were aised he would have sworn
that they were riginally as made. 1t
was his opinion that no alt red checks
would turn up, on the theory that the
men had b en- able to C en- up gu tie a
sum and wJu d leav for other fields to
prosecute thei r lily.
What is to b done is the question vhich
is perplexing the minds of the official at
the Union Pac fic headquarters toda :.
hey argue that the puncturing of the
amount of check on its face, by ma
chine invented for the purpose, can be
filled out with papier ma he, pal ted over
and new puncture made for ,iffer mt
amount; that chemically prepared papers
are of no avail with the di covery of acids
that will wi out the NEST reliable ink
as east "a dirt may be displa ed with
water.
Denver, Colo, March 5.--W. T. Gamma,
chief of the Union Pacific Railway uetect-
ives is making investiea alton of the check
aising frauds along that line last month.
Mr.. Canno says the parties who raised the
checks made only few hundred dollars,
but he has no doubt that if their opera
tions had not been discovered they would
have renewed the attempt next month.

States Circuit Court today judge Nc
Kenna began hearing evidence in the suit
brought by the Continental Insurance
company of New York against the Board
of Fire Underwriters Of the Pacific for a
perpetual injunction restraining the COM
bine from interfering with the business
of the Continental company. The at
torneys for the Continental company
stated that they would show that boy
colt had been organized against the CONT
mental and other companies which have
not joined the combine, and that such
boycott was against the laws of this state.
Atfidavits were produced from insurance
agents at different points on the coast to
show that the rules of the combine had
forced them to quit doing business with
the Continental.
They also introduced copies of circulars
which were sent out OH February LIST,
warning these agents that if they did not
give up their business for the Continental
and other companies of the combine,
they would lose the agencies of the union
companies. This, it was added, was moth
ing else than boycott.

Court for, Release
San Francisco, March 5.-Within few
weeks the board of trustees who have
managed the Lick estate since the de-
cease of the pioneer will ask the Superior
Court to approve their accounts and dis
charge them from further duty. The
board has handled millions of dollars left
by the pioneer, and now that all requests
have been settled they wish to be alb
solved from further duty. James Lick
left almost all his money for educational
purposes, the Lick Observatory and the
Lick School of Mechanical Arts being the
two most important requests
When James Lick's son was compro-
missed with for $685., OO0 in 1878, the trus-
tees estimated that the estate would fail
to carry out all the legacies by $500, 600.
Accumulated interest and increase of
values during SO many years has provided
money for every bequest and left surplus

TWO BOTTLES OF WHISKY
A Shoemaker Near Bakersfield Drinks Them
and Dies =

Bakersfield, March 5.-A shoemaker
named Kleinfelter died at Kernville, a
hamlet in the mountains some sixty miles
east of this place, and the fact has just
been learned that his death resulted from
drinking two bottles of whisky in rapid
succession. He had been on a spree and
was in a stupor, when one of the loungers
proposed to have some fun with the drunk
en- man. They bought bottle of whisky
and pouring out glassful at time, gave
it to Kleinfelter, who drank it eagerly.
When the first bottle was empty they
bought another, and this too was given to
Kleinfelter, the entire amount being swal-
lowed in about half an hour. When it
was finished Kleinfelter staggered to a
chair, fell into it, and almost at once
dropped apparently into deep slumber
A short time afterward an effort was made
to rouse him, but it was found that he
was dead. The Grand Jury will investi-
gate the matter and see if someone can
not be punished for the affair.
