SUICIDE NEAR VALLEJO,
James Smith Throws Himself
Before an Overland
Train.
Despondent Because Accused OF
Corruption While Sitting as
Juror.

VALLEJO, CAL, Sept. 24.-Just before
the down overland train reached the cross
ing between Fairfield and Suisun, above
here, man threw himself upon the track
and the cowcatcher of the locomotive
crushed his head. Engineer Ingles saw
the man, but could not stop soon enough.
The suicide was James Smith of Fair
field, who recently achieved notoriety in
the murder trial of John Marshall, for the
killing of c. F. Agee, near Dixon. Smith
was the juror who called upon himself
great condemnation by holding out alone
for acquittal till the jury compromised on
manslaughter. His notorety was aug
mented by the fact that Smith was seen at
an improper time in conversation with
the defense's attorneys. District Attorney
Devlin intended to have Smith cited for
contempt of court. This and the strong
feeling against him had made him so
gloomy lately that many do not express
surprise at the act.
Smith was wealthy, and the father of
grown children.

STEAMSHIPS TO REDDING,
Mem berS of. Congress Shown
the Need of Opening the
Sacramento.
Shasta County's Wants Aired Be-
fore Party of Distin-
guished Visitors.

REDDING, CAL, Sept. A.-The diversi-
fed industries of Shasta County were never
before given such an airing before party
of distinguished gentlemen as they were
to-day. when Senators Stephen NJ. White
and George C. Perkins and Congressman
Hilborn and Barham were taken by mem
bers of the Redding Board of Trade over
this city and on tour of inspection to the
Sacramento River and Keswick, point on
the river twelve miles above Redding,
where the mammoth smelling plant OF the
Mountain Mining Company is being built.
The party arrived this morning from San
Francisco and was met at the depot by
members of the Board of Trade. At Red
Bluff it was joined by Captain ]. ID. Roberts
the well-known river navigator, who ac-
companied the visitors in order that they
might be given clear understanding what
could be done toward river navigation 10
this point, that being the chief object OF
their coming.

They were first driven over the city, shown
the various points of interest, and then
taken to the river, which was thoroughly
inspected from the Kedding free bridge to
a point two and half miles below. Cap
tain Roberts impaired valuable informa-
ton all the way down, the senators and
Congressman asked num- Der of questions
and visions of putting steamboats,, heavy
aden barges and busy wharf scenes

SAN DIEGO GOLD GIVEN,
Swelling the Fund for the
Fight Against the Wright
Act.
Its Opponents Take Action Looking
to the Engagement Of Joseph
II. ChOate.

SAN DIEGO. CAL, Sept. pa. ]. Con-
dee, County Clerk of Riverside County,
and George H. Maxwell, an attorney OF
San Francisco, have been here several days
representing State organization formed
for the purpose of contesting the Wright
act before the Supreme Court and securing
a decision on its unconstitutionality If pos
sible.
Almost every irrigation district in the
State is said to have contributed to fund
to employ eminent counsel to argue
against the Wright act. Large property
holders in irrigation districts and espe-
Cially those who are non-resldents and
therefore liable to heavy assessments with
out a vote have been most liberal in sup
plying funds TO make bitter fight.
Several meetings of representatives of
the Linda Vista, Jamaicha. Fall Brook and
other districts in the county have been
held here, and an executive committee
consisting of Captain ]. H. Barbour, J. &.
Boal and Carlos Olvera was appointed to
take charge of San Diego COunIys part in
the fight.
This committee met tonight and San
Diego's share toward a fund to employ
counsel was put up in gold coin. J. T..
Boal, manager of the San Diego Land and
Town Company, was named as San Diego
COunty's representative to cooperate with
the general committee OF southern Call
fornia, and he will go to Los Angeles to-
morrow with the gold.
Messrs. Condee and Maxwell announce
that the action taken tonight assures the
EN- ployment Of Joseph II. Choate OF New
York as chief counsel to contest the Wright
law, and against him will be pitted John F..
Dillon on behalf of the holders of irriga-
ton district bonds. A. L. Rhodes, ex-
Justice OF the State Supreme Court, is also
retained by the bondholders, and tonight
John D. Works of this city, also ex-Justice
of the Supreme Court was engaged to
represent the San Diego County contestants
against the Wright act
Other attorneys employed to sustain the
act are c. c. Wright, father of the act, R.
Perry Wright and Sam F. Smith. Against
them will be Lee Il Scott of Los Angeles,
who fought the Fall Brook case, Judge T.
B. Bond of Modesto and George H. Max

central irrigation districts of the State.
The contest to commence at Washington

SEARSV|LLE ESTATE CASE,
Strife Over the Vast Lux
Property Will Commence
To-day.
Imposing Array Of Legal Talent to
Contest for the Plump
Millions.

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Sept. 23.-It is
quite evident that pretty fight will occur
over the Miller q Lux partnership contro-
versy in the Superior Court tomorrow.
The removal of Jessie Sheldon Potter as
administrator of the estate and the APP
pointment of James Grove of Redwood
City as special administrator will then be
the issue. There is likely TO be a pro-
tracted struggle to maintain or secure a
foothod in connection with this estate,
representing so many plump millions.
Curiously enough, the sensational affi-
davit that was filed to effect the removal
of Potter is almost lost sight OF in the one
predominant question. "Who is it that is
trying to get in?''
For several days past there has been a
fitting to and fro between here and the
City of attorneys and others interested in
legal matters affecting this estate. 1t is
thought that at least ten prominent law
firms will be represented in court on Thurs
day.
Every attempt to get definite informa-
tion as TO the plan of action on Thursday
is met with evasion. All the ATTORNEYS
who have been here are non-committal.
1t is not known what defense will be made
in reference to the Lux affidavit hut un-
less some truce is patched up the whole
matter of the management of the estate
may be brought into court at once and the
Ca Sc prolonged for some time.

IN VERY GOOD NATURE.
Will Leave for Sacramento
To-Day to Attend to
State Affairs.
POLITICIANS STILL AT SEA
The Executives Arrival at the San
joaquin Metropolis Was
Unheralded.

STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. Ex-Governor
Budd returned 10 Stockton this afternoon.
So quietly did the Polliwog, in tow of Cap
tain Acker's launch, arrive and make an
chorage in McLeods Lake that even the
Governors particular friend, Oscar Mar
shall. did not know ne was III the city I'M
til he ran across him on the street. Mrs.
Budd and Miss Todman were driven TO the
Governors private residence, but the exec
utive walked uptown and was socn on a
street corner surrounded by friends. There
was no politics or State affairs discussed.
It was all fishing yarns and stories of river
life.
This IS the first time have been 100
yards from the boat in three weeks, re-
marked the Governor to a friend.
Mr. Budd finally broke away and started
down the street toward the Globe foundry,
where he has q new engine in course OF
construction for his launch. in which he
takes great interest. He was tanned by
his three weeks life on the water and
walked with a step that does not belong to
a sick man. How do, jim ?' were the
greetings on the street, and the return was,
Hello, Jack" or Hello, Billie" as the
case might be.
"I'm going to Sacramento in the morn
ing" said the Governor, lust to show the
folks that am very much alive. We had
pleasant trip, and it has done me world
of good"
The Governor will be on hand at Sacra-
mento to receive Senator White and the
Congressional delegation now inspecting
the rivers and harbors of the State. If
able he will probably make a short trip
with the delegation. After disposing of
any pressing official business on his desk
at the Capitol, he expects to be back here
for few days on private business.
Harbor Commissioner Colnon was not
on hand to assist the Governor over the
gangplank, but many local politicians
would have been on hand had not the ex-
ecutive's party stolen march on every
body.

RAISED MANY ORDERS.
Figures Cleverly Erased and
Increased Amounts
Substituted.
WORKED IN A BROAD FIELD.
Merchants All over Southern
California Thought to Have
Been Defrauded.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Sept. "a
About half the merchants in town have
been victimiZed in sums of from So to SO by
new process. Orders which they gave to
have their names printed in black capitals
and then classified in three places in the
Continental Comm ercial Register were
raised from 81 to from So to $40.
Last February very sleek, gentlemanly
canvasser got these orders and filled out the
blanks with what appeared to be an indeI-
ible pencil. To-day W. B. Shuman of San
Francisco, representing collection bu-
reau. arrived here and presented the
raised orders for collection. Some were
paid and some refused. Shuman was de-
tanned by the police for two hours until the
swindled merchants could see the District
Attorney. He advised them that there
was no law to cover the case.
Shuman claims that these orders were
sent to his bureau for collection, but there
is one suspicious circumstance which tends
to prove that he knew the orders were
crooked. He invariably refused to return
the signed order when it was paid, but de-
faced it by tearing off the signature, claim
ing that he needed it for settlement with
LIS CiicHls, tAS UilcCtOli pcOple. IIc gave
receipt signed in pencil with his initials
only. He made a cleanup of over 500
here and left for Cotton this afternoon.
1t is supposed that the original canvasser
covered every town in Southern California.
The work is clear as there is absolutely no
mark of erasure. Evidently the words
zone dollar" were written with an ordi-
nary pencil originally, then erased and
five dollars" written with an indelible
pencil. No one here has seen copy of
the continental Commercial Register"
and nothing is known as to its genuineness.
Possibly the original canvasser raised the
orders in order to secure increased COM
missions from the publishers, if such pub
fishers exist.

WELCOMED TO PASADENA,
Citizens Tender a Reception to
Bishop Warren of
Denver.
Appropriate Opening of the South
ern California Methodist
Conference.

PASADENA, CAL, Sept. 24.-The seats
were removed from the auditorium of the
NJ. E. church this evening, and the edifice
lavishiy decorated with palms and roses
for the formal reception to Bishop II. w.
Warren, as an appropriate opening of the
twentieth Southern California Conference
Of the N. Z. church. A reception COM
mittee, including T. G. Hoag, g. f. Nc
Harrie, f. S. Wallace and Mesdames
Parker and John son, received the guests,
who numbered about 600.
The exercises were opened by few
words of welcome from Mayor J. S. Cox on
behalf of the citizens.
The Mayor was followed by Judge NJ. G.
Hester, who extended welcome upon be-
half the people of Pasadena and members
of the VI. K. church. He said that the
people were cogniZant and appreciative of
the honor of having the conference here :;
spoke OF the cosmopolitan character of those
making up the membership of the church
in Pasadena, and referred at length to the
great work accomplished since the church
was established upon spot which less
than twenty years ago was sheep ranch.
The membership of the Pasadena church
was now, he said, 1000; the church prop
erty fully paid for, free of incum brance
and worth $4,000. and a new church was
projected and will be built. Judge Hester
pald handsome tribute 10 the late Marion
Mckinley Bovard and referred eloquently
to the great work being done by the body
of ministers and laymen.
Judge Hester was followed by Rev. w.
Knighten of Los Angeles, who supple
mented the Judges remarks in an extern.
poraneous speech characterized by great
brilliancy and wit.
Bishop Warren made reply briefly and
appropriately, paying delicate tribute TO
Pasadena, commencing the work done
here and expressing himself as deeply i'm
pressed with his reception and the pleasant
courtesies extended. The evening con-
cluded in social converse.
About 800 ministers and laymen are in
attendance and are entertained in private
homes in Pasadena. The conference
proper opens tomorrow morning. In the
evening a campfire entertainment will be
given by John Godfrey Post, G. A. r., at
the g. A. r. Hall, in honor of the Union
veterans of the NJ. E. church, twenty-f five
of whom are present.

NOW IN P0RTLAND'S JAIL,
DueliSt AuSplund Arrested
for Shooting DueIist
Holmes.
indicted by the Grand Jury as the
Aggressor In the Honolulu
ARRAY.

PORTLAND. ORE, Sept. 24.-Dr. An
dreas A. Ausplund, recently engaged in an
impromptu duel with DR.. II. r. Holmes,
because the latter refused to sign retrac-
ton of an aspersion upon the character OF
Mrs. DR.. Chambers of the Portland Hospi-
tai, was arrested this afternoon ON bench
warrant from the Criminal Court. Up to
late hour he had not furnished $500
bonds.
The finding of an indictment against
Ausplund seems to settle the responsibility
on him. Considerable evidence was heard
by the Grand Jury to confirm the belief
that Ausplund was the aggressor, mas
much as he went to Holmes Office with a
written retraction in one pocket and, pre-
sumably, revolver in the other.
