The Man Charged " it'll Wife nurder Appears
Entirely Unconcerned
ACRAMENTO, Oct. 81. William
Christ, who has been form ally charged
with having murdered his wife, appeared
in the police court today for his prelim-
mary examination. The prisoner APP
peared to be unconcerned over the terri
BILE position IN which he has been placed.
When w. U. Hart and his wife came
into the court room Christ turned to-
wards Hart and nodded to him pleasant
ly, indicating that he bears no ill-feeling
toward him. Christ killed his wife be-
cause he believed she had been on init
mate terms with Hart.
At she request of the defendants attor-
ney the examination was continued I'M
til next Thursdy afternoon.
While Christ insists that his wife was
killed by the accidental discharge of his
pistol, it is understood that the defense
of moral justification will be put in. At
any rate this is the way the talk goes.
1t 10 also understood that Christ's at
torneys do not take any stock in the ''ac-
cidensal" story. but admit that the case

COMMERCE WITH THE ORIENT
Another Great Steamer to Run From
San Francisco
The ragnates Propose to Do Their Best
to Bring Oriental Traffic to
the Golden Gate

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21.-The Oc-
cidental and Oriental Steamship COM
pany has chartered another great steam :
ship to run on the line from this port TO
the Orient. The new acquisition IS the
steamer Doiic, sister ship of the Bel.
gic, Gaelic and Coptic, all owned by the
Ocean Steam Navigation company (the
White Star line) of Liverpool. She is
now being overhauled and reftted for
her new work and will probably make the
run to A ustralia and go to Hong Kong
that way. From thence the Doric will
make regular trips with the Belgic, Gaelic
and CoptIc, alternately with the China,
Peru. City of RIO de Janeiro and City
or Pekin.
The Occidental and Oriental and Pacific
ern lines and will do their utmost to bring
the Oriental trade to San Francisco.
There are now three northern com panies
IN the field for the passenger business. 1t
is now stated that the Japanese will put
on line of steamers and the report is
not doup ted. as i. is known that they
have a number on their hands since the
close of the war that are not now needed
as transports or improm ptu cruisers.
The local companies are preparing to
meet these steamers in case they make
San Francisco their port on this side.
1t is the evident intention of the Pa
ciic Mail and the Occidental and Orien tai
companies to fight it out this time, no
matter what the cost. Freight rates are
being cnt regardless by these companies.
The result is that every steamer is com-
ing in full of cargo. The trade with the
ORIENT appears to be more vigorous than
ever before since the capitulation OF the
Chinese. and the aim of the local COM
lanies now ia to get the same grip on
passenger travel they have on the freight
business.
