ARE HARASSED WITH WOE
Ouintette of Chinese Certificate F0rgers
in Jail
Few New Facts Developed In the Gigantic
Scheme to Defraud the Government
And Admit Chinese

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3o.-Very lit
tie was done in the prosecution of the
quintette of alleged forgers by the United
States officials today.
All of the men are still in jail, as none
of them can secure bail. Greenwald s
friends seem to be working harder for
him than the relatives OF the others.
In consequence, it is expected that he will
secure his release tomorrow. The case
will be called on Monday and Attorney
T. d. Riordan, who represents the prison
ers, will make strong plea to have the
bail reduced one-half.
Foss is becoming pale and haggard
under restraint, Ciprico is defiant and
carries things with high hand, Sullivan
is disconsolate. Greenwald has not yet
realized the serious pTedicament he is
in, and Katzauer is apparently indiffer-
ent. The latter had all his plans laid to
leave for Puget Sound. Had ;he arrest
been delayed twenty-four hours, he would
have been in Victoria, B. c.. before the
revenue officers would have known OF his
departure.
Harris received word from Washington
to do every thing in his power to secure
the arrest of all parties interested and to
assist in getting up evidence against
those already under arrest. He is now
on the trail of the man who printed the
certificates and expects to secure him in
time for the trial on Monday afternoon.
From evidence gathered by Harris it
appears that d. ]. Sullivan only became
q member of the gang few days before
the raid. Foss wanted an expert pen
man and Sullivan was recommended to
him. They met and came to an under
standing and Sullivan was caught with
the others while the first batch of certiti-
Gates was being prepared.

THE UTAH CONVENTION
Woman's Suffrage Question Occupies Another
Day at Salt Lake

Woman's Suffrage Question Occupies Another
Day at Salt Lake
SALT LAKE, Utah, March S0.-Woman
suffrage was again the leading question
before the constitutional convention to-
day. Bishop Whitney of Salt Lake was
recognized and made strong speech in
favor of the measure. His remarks were
well received and clearly indicated what
the final action Of the convention would
be. The speaker believed the woman
suffrage movement was the marcn OF
eternal progression. He believed it was
the voice of God. Women were made for
something besides being mothers, wives;
cooks and housekeepers. He believed
they would be the levers in the hanos
of God for raising up the downtrodden
world to the plane of perfection-its ulti-
mate redemption. He had seen an I'M
mense congregation, two-thirds OF them
women, raise their hands and vote Mr..
Roberts into a high ecclesiastical office,
At the conclusion of Whitney S speech
Roberts was recognized and asked per-
mission to have the closing speech on the
question He read a telegram from his
constituents saying that party pledges are
sacred and must be kept, that he must
cease opposing woman suffrage or resign.
1t was finally decided that Roberts
should make the closing address without
limit of time. A vote on the questlon
will probably be reached on Monday.

certain section of the press. Several of
the Radical organs ask the Emperor to

BISMARCK'S BIRTHDAY
Refusal of the Reiciistag to Celebrate 1t Causes
Comment

BERLIN, March 30.-The refusal of the
majority of the reichstag to celebrate
Prince Bismarck's birthday, En- perer
Williams bitter comment thereon and the
scenesiwhich occurred at Freidrichsruhe
auring the past week, have put Germans
in feverish condition and,public opinion
is much more generally outspoken than
IS customary.
The Conservatives and National Liberal
press vigorously denounces the reichstag
majority, one paper in Leipsic going to
the extent of saying that they ought to
be buried like 50 much carbon
So far as the spontaneous utterances OF
popular feeling are concerned, the vast
majority of the German people certainly
disapprove OF the reichstag's decision.
A significant sign of this fact is that
throughout the week, whenever the en-
pcror appeared publicly. both in Berlin
and elsewheree, he was the recipient of
popular ovations. Thousands OF people
lined Unter den Linden on Monday and
cheered him, and this has been repeated
every day since.
On the other hand the Centrists, Rad
icals and Socialists have taken the en-
peror to task in unequivocal language for
his telergam to Prince Bismarck and be-
cause OF sundry passages IN has address at
FREDERICKSBURG.
The Cologne Volks Zeitung, the chief
organ of the Center party, in a series OF
prominent articles criticizes the emperor
sharply, saying that while it is the en-
pe1or's right to change his mind OF con-
duct towards Prince Bismarck, it could
not be disputed that 1t was the right OF
the reichstag majority and the Ceutrists
especially to adhere steadfastly to their
old opinions.
ut could be disputed less" the Volks
Zeitung proceeds, that the Reichstag has
the right to demand to know whether
the politics of.the empire are to be again
shaped by Prince Bismarck, or whether
the present Chancellor is counted for
something"
Herr Richter's organ, the Freisinnige
Zeitung, pointedly compares the relations
between the Emperor and Prince Bis
marck and those which existed between
them a couple of years ago, and asks
refusing to share in the present celebla-
tions as the monarch did in 1892. when he
forbade ali recognition of Prince Bismarck
and the friends of the latter were officially
ostracised.
The Vosssche Zeitung speaks in siimi-
lar terms of the Emperor's attitude and
denies that he has the right to thus in
suit the Reichstag in defiance of constitu-
tional government.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30.-Vin-
cenzo Dipelmi, window cleaner by oc-
cupation, shot and instantly killed Eugeni
Diledi in house at 4OS Broadway shortly
after O'Clock this afternoon.
The murder is the outcome of feud
which has existed for some months past
between the two men. The victim is al
legged to have been frequently heard to
threaten Dipelmi's life. This afternoon
the men came together and from the
murderer's story it would appear that
Diledi had first assaulted Dipelmi and in
the fracas which followed. the former
wrenched the pistol from his assailant's
hand and fred three shots each of which
took effect. The body was removed to the
morgue. Dipelmi gave himself up to the
authorities and is now locked up.

WANTS MORE PATRONAGE.
Collector Welburn Asking for an In
crease of His Force.

Internal Revenue Collector Welburn lie
recommending in his report to the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue an increase
of allowance for this district so that he
can have his force of subordinates aug
menteG by at least ten mere appointments.
The receipts of the office for this wear,
he said yesterday. have been 81, 755, ,227 So,
which is $1S1, ,073 SO greater than the re-
ceipts for last year, and he expects that
with the coming year there will be an in
crease OF anywhere between 100000 and
$500. 900.
The present allowance is S45, 500, which
amount covers about thirty regular sal
aried positions, the gaugers being COM
pensated on percentage basis.
Speaking of this, Mr.. Welburn said:
my district is greater in area than any
other in the United States, and though it
may rank about fourth or fifth in the mat
ter of receipts, yet the large area of terri
tory to be covered entails an enormous
amount of work, for which my present
force is quite inadequate. This district,
extending from Sacramento to the south
ern boundary of the State, is 700 miles
long"

enough to attend to Withdrawals from
warehouses as prom pity as the trade de-

ing Business.

At the regular monthly meeting of the
directors of the defunct Peoples Home
Savings Bank yesterday there was read
letter from T. G.. Spelling, attorney for the
depositors and stockholders, declaring that
the California Safe Deposit and Trust
Company had no existence as banking
corporation and cannot as such egally ac-
cept or hold the funds of the Peoples
Home Savings Bank. 1t is merely a trust
company.
The second point made in the letter per-
talns to the relation OF the Peoples Home
Savings Bank and the California Safe De-
posit and Trust Company growing out of
the possession by the latter of great
number of passbooks evidencing deposits
in the Peoples Home Savings Bank made
prior to It's insolvency, the former corpora
ton claiming to be outright assignees of
those clairIs IRON the depositors. 1t ap-
pears that the creditors on the books of
the Peoples Home Savings Bank have
been changed and entered in the name of
the California Safe Deposit and Trust
Company.
~ consider it my duty and privilege to
state" writes Mr.. Spelling, "that the California
Safe Deposit ana Trust Company has no power
TO acquire any title TO or interest in these pass
books and the Indebtedness evidenced by them
under the circumstances, and that it, having
no title to them, the new or changed entries in
the books OF the Peoples Home Savings Bank
does not authorize the Peoples Home Savings
Bank TO pay nor the California Safe Deposit
and Trust Company to receive dividends on
these accounts. Both these propositions are cor
rect, whether we assume that the California
Safe Deposit and Trust Company is merely a
trust company or concede that it is both a
trust company and banking corporation"

California Safe Deposit and Trust Com
pany, says that his company does regu-
lar banking business and enjoys that right.
