THE COMMISSIONERS SPLIT
Little Row in the New York Police
Board
On Account Of the Trial Of a Captain Who
Failed to Suppress Crime In His
Precinct

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-What looks very
much like a split in the board of police
commissioners has developed today from
a remark made by Commissioner Grant
yesterday at the trial of Police Captain
Eakins for failure to suppress crime in
his precinct. Commissioner Grant put
several questions to Eakins to which he
received replies that the captain had been
in the service twenty-nine years and had
but twice had charges preferred against
him. and that several years ago he had
saved but $4,000, and his defense in the
trial had cost him $4,000 quarter of his
savings. Thereupon the commissioner
said II believe l heard you say this
trial was crime"
81 did" answered the captain.
81 agres with you," Comm ssioner
Grant said. and with that remark left the
room. The other commissioners, Messrs.
Parker. Roosevelt and Andrews. disap-
prove Of the course taken by Commits
sioner Grant, who, they alleged. signed
the official charges against Captain
and incompetency. but during the pro-
gress of the trial stated to Commissioner
Parker that Captain Eakins had besought
his consideration on the ground that he
(Grant) was a Republican,, Methodist
and a soldier. They also declare that
Commissioners Grant. early in the proceed
ings, declared in the presence of the other
commissioners that he would vote to dis
miss Eakins without reading the testi-
mony. as 1t was too voluminous to read.
1t IS asserted also that Commissioner
Grant has heard less of the testimony
than any other member of the board. In
conclusion they assert that Captain
Eakins will be given a thorough hearing
and that none of them will declare their
decision until the evidence is complete
and has been fully and carefully consid-
cred.
Commissioner Grant. when seen, said
The statement that l would vote for
Eakins' dismissal without reading the
testimony was intended only as joke. /"

ASTORIA, Ore, Aug. 3.-George Up
ton was arrested by Chief of Police
Loughry this afternoon for the murder of
William De Journett, which occurred at
McGraw's Landing. He was on the point
of leaving for Portland on the evening
boat. Officers on several occasions since
the muruef have had an inkling of Up.
toms wherea bouts, but Upton has always
managed to give them the slip. He was
last seen in the city two years ago. 1t is
thought since then he has been in Califor-
MIA.
The history of the crime he is charged
with is as follows: A bout o'clock on the
evening Of Friday, August 10. 1887, George
Upton entered the dwelling of William
G. Satter, on the Klatsakanie, and an
nounced that he intended to kill the en-
tire household and then kill himself.
Then he began shooting. Two shots were
aimed with good effect at De Journette,
the last one striking HIM near the temple,
producing death almost instantly. This
emptied the revolver. Upton, who had
brought supply of ammunition, then
retilled his weapon with tho intention OF
killing Mrs. De Journette. but when he
pulled the trigger the weapon did not
work. having evidently teen broken with
the last shot. He beat the woman over
the head with the revolver, threw her on
the fuor and kicked her until she was
covered with bruises. He then left the
boat. Upton motive for the deed was
revenge, az he wanted Mrs. De Journette
to desert her husband and live with him.
which she declined to do.

THE LUMBER TRADE
A Combine Which Will Shut Out the Foreign
Trade

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-One of the
most important meetings in the history
of ths lumber trade in this city was hold
here today to formulate q plan whereby
all the pine and lumber mills and manu-
facturers on. the Pacific coast may COM
bine to raise prices and shut out foreign
competition, especially from British
dealers Oh the coast into one corpora
tion was represented and favorably dis
cussed. The pine lun Der men of this city
have been fighting losing battle against
foreign compe ii ion ami they have come
to the conclusion that combination is
necessary. Only the leading firms were
invited to attend today's session and the
following firms participated: Pope &
Talbot the Simpson Lum Der com pany
Wilson Bros, Hansen Il Co.. California
Lumber company, W. J. Adams. Gar
diner Well company. Gray's Harbor Com
mercial company. Preston & McKinnon,
Il. X. Wood Lum ber company. ). L. Slade
company and Renton. Holmes e. Co. The
plan of association as suggested and
favored is combination of all the firms
OF this city and the coast into one trust
to be known as the Central Lum Dor CON-
pany. Each firm will be represented in
this mammoth concern by q certain num-
Der of shares proportonate to its financial
interest. At the same time all of the as
sociated firms will retain their own iden-
t:ty as far as the general public is con
cerned. The primary object of the COM
bination Is to raise the price of lumbe
and maintain it at a point where the
their goods with profit. Some of the
smaller dealers have offered objections to
the plan owing to the added expense it
will involve. but it is expected tina their
scruples will be overcome. The commit
tee on organization was instructed today
to make some minor changes in the plan
and to submit them at another meeting

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Secretary
Smith has rejected indemnity list No. "a
OF the Southern Pacific Railroad com pany
for 4444 acres of land in the Stockton, In
dependence. VisalIa, San Francisco and
Los Angeles districts in California.
The list is rejected because the lands so
chosen were covered by expired but un-
cancelled pre-emption filings at the date
of the attachment of the rights Of the
railroad. The decision is an extremely
important one.
Heretofore the practice has been that
of pre-emption filing within the limits
OF an indemnity grant that had expired.
the land became subject to the grant, al
though the entries were uncancelled. The
new ruling is based on the decision of
the supreme court at Its last term in the
case of Whitney versus Taylor and the
effect will be to restore a large amount of
land to the public domain.
