Trades Unions of San francisco Had In
dorsed HIS appointment.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, April 15.-In a
recent issue of a labor paper published in
San Francisco there was an editorial in
which the following words occur:
Governor Buddis entirely mistaken or will
fully preyaricates when he states that the pro-
prietors OF the Voice of Labor Endorsed or
asked for the appointment OF Mr.. Fitzgerald as
Labor Commissioner.
The Governors private secretary, in
speaking of this editorial, produced from
the files the following letter, which he says
is decidedly inconsistent with the state
ments made in the editorial referred to.
The letter is dated San Francisco, February
z, and is signed by M. NJ. McGlynn, who is
editor of the paper, as well as President of
the Labor Council of Federated Trades.
The letter reads:
To the best of my knowledge, the selection of
Mr.. Fitzgerald as Labor Commissioner will
meet with no objections from the trades union
lists OF this city. Personally, am in hopes his
appointment will mark a new era in the adj
ministration of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

an IMPRoBABLE STORY.
Ohio Furnishes the Latest Revelation
Concerning j. W1lkes Booth.

NEWARK, ONO, April 15.-C Christopher
Columbus Ritter, who arrived from Ger
many in the winter of 1864, and through
J. Wilkes Booths influence secured a posi-
ton in Ford's Theater, tells the story OF
Lincoln's assassination, claiming that
Boston Corbett shot Edward Fuchs, an
actor resembling Booth, and not President
Lincoln's assassin.
Ritter is well educated and his character
is above reproach. He declared that he
assisted Booth to escape, and that they
sailed for Brazil May 2, 1865. He soon left
Brazil, but he met Booth by appointment
in Hamburg eleven years ago. and on that
occasion Booth gave him pictures of his
children born by South American wife.
These pictures, bearing a strong resem-
blance to Booth, are now in Ritter's pos
session. Ritter says he heard from Booth
last winter, and he was then on the South
American stage.

trustees, to be selected by the contributors
to the cash fund. 1t was at first suggested

been subscribed, and much more is in
sight. The Sunday edition of the Mail
prepared by the ladies of Stockton, netted

night $500 in stock subscriptions have been
aide tod the list. which now amounts to
about $92, 900.

REPEAL OF COUNTY GAME 1AWs.
AL Those i'a Conflict With the State Lao
Are Declared Toid.


SACRAMENTO, CAL, April BIN re-
Spouse to an inquiry received from the Fish
and Game Commission of the State an
opinion has been sent out from the At
torney Generals Office on the effect
and scope of the general fish and
game law passed by the last
Legislature. This opinion is to the effect
that all county ordinances relating to fish
and game that have heretofore been passed
by the Boards of Supervisors which con-
fiict with that law are repealed hereby, and
that Boards of Supervisors have no power
TO pass ordinances in conflict Herewith.
In conversation with Game Commits
sioner Morrison on the subject he stated
that, in his opinion, this would, to great
extent, do away with the variance of the
close season In the different counties.
Why" continued the commissioner,
''under the provisions of the old county
government law, and that which related
TO fish and game, one was almost COM
PEELED to procure the services of an expert
surveyor whenever he went ON days
hunt, so that when game was sighted a
line could be run in order to ascertain
what county he was shooting in.'

Weekly Report OF director BdTfUfcH OF
the State Heather bureau.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, April 15.-Di-
rector Barwick of the State Weather Ser
vice, in his crop and weather summary for
the week, says:
The average temperature for the week
ending Monday, April Is, was as follows:
Eureka, 80 deg; Fresno 56; Independ-
ence, Sc; Los Angeles, IS; Red Bluff,
Sacramento, San Francisco and San
Diego, "a deg. respectively, and San
Luis 0bispo, So. AS compared with the
normal temperatures deficiency of heat is
reported at Fresno of degrees; Los An
geles, 2; Red Bluff, 6; Sacramento, 5; San
Francisco, 2; San Diego, 5, while Eureka
reports the temperature conditions as
normal.
The total precipitation for the week was: =
At Eureka, Ito inches; Fresno, Los An
geles, San Francisco, San Luis Obispo and
San Diego each. 10 of an inch; Sacramento,
IA of an inch, and Independence trace.
As compard with the normal precipita-
ton, there is a deficiency reported at all
points except Eureka, where an excess of
% of an inch has occurred. The weekly
deficiency is: For Fresno "a of an inch,
Los Angeles .39, Red Bluff SO, Sacramento
SO, San Francisco 40 and San Diego IL of
an inch.
The deficiency in temperature over the
great agricultural, horticultural and viii
cultural districts of the State has had a
retarding effect upon the growth of crops
and the ripening of early fruits and
berries. The deficiency in the rain
fall has been felt over the greater
portions of the State Without copious
and frequent showers in April and May the
grain and hay crops will receive somewha-
of setback. However, the cool weather,
in conjunction with the lack of rain, pre-
vents any injurious effects from being not
ticed so early in the season, especially
after the fine rains we have had during the
past winter months.
The frosts of April have injured the
fruit crop in the lower end of the San
Joaquin Valley, as well as in the Santa
Clara Valley, the upper end of the So
mona Valley and in the Anderson Valley
fruit belt of Mendocino County.
