CALIFORNIA VINTAGE
What a London Merchant Says of Popularizing
Our Wines

SAN FRANCISCO, June s.-Randolph
Payne London wine merchant, who i S
in this city, believes California wines
would become popular in England if
local merchants would push the trade IN
that direction little harder.
There is certain future for Califor-
MIA wines in England" said Mr.. Payne,
where they are much preferred to the
Australian prod uct. 1t is, to my mind,
simply a question OF price and their
proper introduction. | mean to say that
they are listed altogether too high. For
example. in Scotland | have paid rs high
as six shillings English money for Bur-
gundy from California. This figure is
higher than Beaune which brings four
shillings the quart and which is more
matureu wine. We find very little Cali
fornia still wines in London CLUBS.
French red wine of a fair quality will
sell for three shillings bottle. Now
the Zinfandel, when found there is much
higter.
Il do not know of any London agency
for California wines. There may be a
few, but they have not made themselv es
prominent. In fact there is no attempt
there, as far as has come under my OBJ
servation, to push the wines of this
country. There is far more body IN your
California wines than the WIN ordina ire
we drink in London. But your wines
want racking. They are too green. The y
are not kept long enough in cask."

NO LIGHT ON THE TRAGEDY
Mystery OF Miss Harringt0n's Murder
As Deep as Ever
Letters From Senator Buck to the Woman
Read to the COroner's Jury-Not So
Sensational as Expected

SAN FRANCISCO. June S.-A witness
has been found who saw man at the
door of Miss Harrington's fiat at 1890
o clock on the day she was murdered.
The witness is 12-year- old boy residing
in the fiat below the scene of the tragedy.
The mans back was turned to the street
and the boy did not see his face, so that
he can give no description. There is
every reason to belive that this man,
who was in the act of ringing the bell
when observed, is the murderer, but
the police have paid no attention to the
lad as witness, not even interviewing
him.
Mrs. Jackson the sister of the murder
ed woman, has discovered that the mur-
derer washed his hands in bowl that
was in the room where the murder was
committed. The bowl was broken but
the water near it was bloodstained and
there was blood on the fragments OF the
bowl. The mudrerer had been careful to
remove the evidence of crime from his
person. At the coroner's inquest into
the murder of Miss Harrington, which
was begun today, tenants OF the Har-
rlngton fiat test fed that the glass door
of Miss II arlington suite had not only
never been locked before, but u key had
never been in 1t. After the murder was
discovered the door was found locked
from the outside.
The private correspondence of Miss
Harrington, produced in court, threw no
light upon the tragedy, nor did the let
tiers prove as sensational as the detectives
had intimated.
The writing on several notes was iden-
titled by Frank NJ. Buck as that of his
father, Senator l.. ". Buck. who died as
q result OF an accident few days ago.
The notes were addressed to My Dear
Nell, and were signed Nell " one being
signed Ever Your Darling Nell
sThe only letter produced signiti-
cant of improper relations between the
two was dated Chicago and written on a
letter head of Porter Brothers. The pen
manship was not positively identified as
that of Buck.
Frank Buck, when asked to explain
the familiar way in whicn his father ad
dressed Miss Harrington, frankly stated
that it was because of his great affection
for her. The inquest will be continued
on Mondav

CONSTITUTION OF MEXICO
Important Changes Made by the Recent
Congress
The Revised Instrument Patterned Somewhat
After the United States Laws.
Tariff Hatters

WASHINGTON. June S. S.-Advices from
Mexico state that the Mexican congress.
following the suggestion of President
Diaz, in his annual message. has been
considering important changes in the fed
eral constitution with view to making
it somewhat similar to that of the United
States in the lim tation OF the rights of
the separate states to coin money or to
hinder commerce by tariff laws which
discriminate against goods brought from
adjoining state in Mexico.
Heretofore the federal government has
not had The exclusive right to collect tar
if taxes or internal revenues. AS a result
both the federal government and the
states have their separate laws on the
same subject. Jeaiousies between states
have led some OF them to enact tariff
laws discriminating against neighboring
states.
President Diaz spoke strongly for a
REFORM and comprehensive revisions of
the constitution have been presented ac-
cordinglv. The first articles of the con-
sttution are changed so as to include a
prohibition against the coinage OF money
or the issuance OF paper bills OF stamps by
the states. Tariff determinations be-
tween the states are prohibited by several
strong provisions. Article l2i of the con
stitution is changed so as TO give the fed
eral government the exclusive right to
hinder or prohibit the transportation of
goods. foreign or domestic, brought into
Mexico, or into a state. BY supplement
tai section the law Is made: to take effect
one yeaI from July 1st next. Whether
the law embodying tho changes has
passed it's final stages is not clear from
the information received here. although
the legislation appears to be complete.
