DEPORTED TO VICTORIA,
Chinese Sent From the Sound
District Get No Farther
Than Canada.
Arrested on Trumped.Up Charges and
Released After the Vessels
Depart.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Nov. 16.-
The fact has developed that the Chinese
exclusion act as enforced in this district is
a farce. for the reason that it is not ef-
fective in any respect. According to the
arrangement that has been in force, all de-
ported coolies in this district are sent
home by the Northern Pacific steamers
from Tacoma. The plan worked to per-
lection until recently scheme was dis
covered to beat it.
The vessels stop at Victoria, and upon
arrival there a dummy charge is laid
against the Cinnamon. They are arrested
taken ashore and detained until after the
vessels sail. Then the accusers refuse to
prosecute, and there is nothing to do but
to discharge the Mongols. They return
surreptitiously TO this side, taking changes
only of having the farce repeated.
The Government sought to rectify this
by ordering that all Chinese under SEN
tence of deportation should be landed
here and called for after the steamers fin
ished their business at Victoria. This the
company refused to do, and threatened to
throw up the contract. To-day the Gov
ernment rescinded the instructions and
the chance to escape remains as before
The officials here criticize the resembling
order severely, and declare that the
authorities are but wasting money .lr

FOR KILLING Gus BOEHM,
Preparations at San Bernardino
for the Trial of Charles
Button.
Witnesses Were Drunk at the Time
of the Tragedy and Have Poor
Memories.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Nov. 49,
The District Attorney and deputies art
hard at work preparing for the next tria
of Charles Button for murder, which comes
up one month from to-day. On Friday
County Surveyor Cook and party left fol
the scene of the tragedy for the purpose O.
getting the correct lay of the grounds or
which Gus Boehm lost his life on August
15 1893.
The main contention by the prosecution
was the relative positions of Button and
Boehm at the time of the homicide, the
direction from which the shot came and
other such points that should go to the
jury in correct form, but which could
not, as nearly all the witnesses were too
drunk at the time to notice directions
distances or anything else.
None of them agreed on the distance be-
tween the respective objects that cut such
figure in the case, such as the tree be-
hind which Button said Boehm was, and
the rock on which Boehm lay. The kill
ing has lost none of it's interest to the
public.

HEIR TO MANY MILLIONS,
Trinity Church Property in New
York to Be Shared by an
Oregon Man.
Descendants of General Montgomery
Seek to Recover a Valuable
Tract of Land.

GAsTON, Or, Nov. 16.-One of the heirs
to the property on which Trinity Church,
New York, now stands, and to the lands
adjacent, is W. s. Hudson of Forest Grove,
Or. Mr.. Hudson has news from Philip v.
Fennelly, an attorney at Buffalo, N. Y,
for the heirs, to the effect that there are
forty or fifty acres OF the land, and that it
was leased to Trinity Church by General
Montgomery, who was killed at Quebec
during the Revolution, for period of
nlnety-nine years. That lease expired
some years ago, and Trinity Church, the
Borthwick family and several corporations
are now occupying land to which they
have no title. Lawyer Fennelly agrees to
bear all the costs of procedure to recover
the property for the heirs, about 125 of
whom have been discovered, for con-
tingency.
Mr.. Hudsons grandmother was Mont
gomery, and he is one of the nearest heirs.
The property is valued at from 500, 600, 900
to $500 100000. The heirs, particularly
Mr.. Hudson, are confident they will re-
cover or effect promise, for there is no
doubt the property is rightfully theirs, and
the only reason proceedings were not COM
menced sooner was the difficulty in deti-
niteiy locating the property and lack of
available funds to begin so important an
action.

HOUNDS IN PURSUIT,
Officers and Dogs on the
Trail of Desperate
OlivareS.
HIDING IN THE HILLS,
The Hunted Outlaw Followed to
the FaStnesses of Smith
Mountain.
HE WILL FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE.
Constable Hubert, Who Killed Bandit
Renterias, Heads the Posse
in the Chase.
HE WILL FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Nov. 16.-Francisco
ollvares, the San Luis Rey desperate, has
taken TO the Businesses of Smith Mountain,
and two constables and posse and two
oloodhounds are on his trail. Oliyares
was once in the custody of officers and was
placed on trial for murder, but through
slipshod methods he escaped the meshes
OF the law and was turned loose to kill
again. This he promptly tried to do.
Ollvares tried to kill an Indian named
Ardillo at Vista Wednesday night. He
placed shotgun so close to Ardillo's head
that pieces of his soft hat were blown into
the scalp, and only the thickness of his
scull prevented the shot from penetrating
the brain.
Ardillo lives, but Olivares believes he is
where another tragedy is likely occur when
the officers overtake him.
After shooting Ardillo Olivares pro-
cured a rifle and ammunition and fought
his way through small knot of angry
ranchers to San Luis Rey River, going
thence up toward Smith Mountain, which
is the widest Part of the county.
He is believed to have been assisted by
Indians living on the rancherias on the
river. He has the advantage of the officers
in knowing every foot of the coun-
try, and being young and agile he
is likely to make better at
tempt to escape than did Renterias, the
old outlaw who was cornered at Mesa
Grande some weeks ago and killed, after
shooting one of his pursuers. Constable
Hubert who is pursuing young Olivares,
is the man who laid Renterias low.
The officers were on Olivares' trail all
day Thursday and yesterday, returning
last night to Oceanside for fresh horses,
and striking out this morning direct for
Smith Mountain. They are likely to come
upon the outlaw to-day, as bloodhounds
are being used, while in the former case
only the keen eyes of trallers were en-
ployed. Constable Hubert said before
leaving that he would bring back Olivares
alive or dead

TROUBLE AT STOCKTON.
LiQuor-Dealers File a Sensational
Complaint Against Mayor
Baggs.
Bitter Fight Made by the Saloonists
to Defeat Restricting
Ordinance.

STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. 16.-Ex-Judge
J. G. SwInnerton, on behalf of the liquor
dealers, to-day filed sensational COM
plant in the Superior Court, in which it is
charged that Mayor H. n. Baggs and other
city officials have entered into conspiracy
to divert certain public moneys from the
treasury for the purpose of using the funds
for purposes not authorized by law.
This move is the outcome of the war be-
tween the non partisan administration and
the liquor-dealers, and the trouble seems
to be growing more serious daily. 1t all
came about through the passage by the
Council of an ordinance closing side en-
frances, prohibing the sale of liquors in
grocery stores and confning the saloons to
single district.
The license was also raised and severe
restrictions placed upon the liqur dealers.
The dealers are coptesting the ordinance
bitterly, and many of the saloons are run
ming without licenses. 1t is the effort to
convict them that is making trouble.
The dealers employed the best legal tai
ent obtainable, and they have the admin
lstration at disadvantage, as there are no
city funds available with which to put up
good fight In a recent brush
point by the city Justice sustain
ing the contention that neither the
Chief of Police, his officers nor local peace
officers were qualified to summon jurors,
inasmuch as they were interested in the
enforcement of the law they were instru-
mental in creating. An elisor was agreed
upon, and it was estimated that his serv-
ices might cost as much as $500.
He would not serve unless the Council
would guarantee his fees. This the oppo-
sition managed to defeat.
Then the Mayor and his associates got
through the Council an ordinance creating
contingency fund for the Mayors use.
Mr.. Baggs announced that he would pay
the elisor out of this, and secure additional
counsel.
Now the liquor-dealers claim that every
ordinance should stand on its own bottom,
and propose to go into the Superior Court
and try to cut off the Mayors fighting
money.
The complaint innulges in some per-
sonalities and goes so far as to claim that
the Mayor is not in a financial position to
make good any money he might use
through misconception of his right to it,

RIVERSIDE cRAcKSMEM.
Rurciars Blow Off the Outer Door of the
Sante Fe Strong Box, but Secure
No Cash

/: RIVERSIDE. CAL, Nov. I6.-A fbold
burglary was attempted in this city at an
early hour this morning, when thieves
broke into the office of the Santa Fe Rail
road Company's freighthouse and blew
open the office safe. The burglars forced
open one of the doors of the freighthouse
and thus gained entrance to the office.
The safe, heavy one, was pushed out
into the center of the office, the better to
operate upon it.
The burglars drilled balf-inch hole in
the top Of the safe, through which was
put sufficient powder to blow the outside
door off. The inner door rem aimed intact,
however, and the burglars, unable to open
it, did not reach the money-drawers.
The safe, which contained only a few
dollars, was not greatly injured. The
officers have clew and the burglars are
likely TO be apprehended.

HARLEM SPRINGS DEAL.

The Motor Road Said to Have Also Been
Included in the Purchase.
SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Nov. 16.-It
is believed from present indications that
f. Kohl of Centralia, ILL.,, has bought
the Harlem motor road along with Harlem
Springs. The springs are the most noted
in Southern California, not excepting the
famous Arrowhead Springs. They are
situated about four miles northeast of San
Bernardino, and are reached by the Har-
lem motor road, which runs between San
Bernardino and Highland.
The springs were formerly owned bv
Seth Marshall, and during the past two
weeks he has been bringing suits in the
Superior Court to quiet title. The motor
road was tied up short while ago owing
to the fact that it was mixed up in the af-
fairs of the defunct First National Bank of
this city. But it is now admitted bv Re-
ceiver Broderick that it will be released
Just as soon as the papers arrive from
that will be a matter of only few days.
The new owner intends to make extern
sive improvements. Already the archi-
tects are at work on plans submitted to
them by Mr.. Kohl. The first improvement
will be the building of big hotel and
bathing apartments. Not more than
twenty feet separates the hot and cold
water, the former being two different de-
grees of heat, one almost boiling the other
medium, very comfortable for bathing
without adding cold water. The noun.
tains, which are not over four miles north
of the springs, furnish sufficient water
power to run, not alone an extensive elec-
trlc-iighting plant, but also an electrician

RACkL|FFE IS IMPROVING
The State Treasurer Still Feeble
Though the Fever Has
Left Him.
Unhealthfulness of the Capitol Given
as One Cause of His
Long Illness.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Nov. 16.-State
Treasurer Levi Rackliffe, who has been i'll
for three weeks with typhoid fever, is re-
ported to be better. The fever has left
him, but he is still in an enfeebled state,
and requires constant watching.
Five years ago Mr.. Rackliffe suffered an
attack of la grippe at his home in San
Luis Obispo, and his system was rendered
peculiarly susceptible to disease-that be-
ing the effect usually produced by the
grip on the victims who do not entirely
succumb to it. To make matters worse.
Mr.. Rackliffe had a second attack of the
grip last December, before coming to Sac
ramento.
The illness of Mr.. Rackliffe, whose office
is on the lower floor, has confirmed the
doubts of not a few Of the inmates as to
the unhealthfulness OF that portion of the
Capitol. It was because of "a preju-
dice on this point, as published in
THE CALL, that Secretary of State
Brown moved his offices upstairs, aban-
doning rooms on the lower floor which
had been used by his predecessors since
the Capitol was erected. One of the Treas
urer's deputies, in speaking of Mr.. Rack
liffe's illness, said to-day:
''This is a magnificent building, viewed
from the outside, but it was built at a time
when sanitary plumbing was in its infancy,
and it needs thorough going over inside.
We are close to the cellar here, and there
are musty odors brought up from there
into our Offices.
"The elevator shaft is quite near us, and
that also serves to draw up bad atmos-
phere from the cellar and scatter it in onr
neighborhood. A complete system of
ventilation is badly needed. When we
open this front door in the morning after
the office has been closed all night,
the odor is very strong. l attribute
Mr.. Rackliffe's illness in great measure to
this state of things and so does he. un-
derstand that there are one or two other
cases of typhoid in the building.
1t Is strange that this building is ne
elected, when the Legislatures appropriate
so much for the improvement of other
State property. The Secretary of State
is not to blanche has not the money to
make these needed changes.''
