MEXICO AS A COMPETITOR
1t Buys California Wheat and
Manufactures Its Own
Flour.
The Flour Is Made In Ensenada and
All Central American Points
Are Supplied.

Mexico has entered into competition
with California and Oregon in the flour
trade and San Francisco will suffer in con
sequence. All Mexican ports from En-
senada to Salinas Cruz will be supplied
from the Mexican mills, and as soon as the
trade warrants vessels will be put on be-
tween Ensenada and South American ports
and as soon as trade picks up between that
point and Yokohama.
Mexico is in first-class position to enter
into competition with the United States in
this article of commerce. Ensenada is
only just across the border line and its
millers can buy all the wheat they want
just as cheaply as 1t can be laid down at
San Diego. The Mexican Government
levies no tax upon wheat, but -four has to
pay an assessment of 25 per cent. 1t did
not take some shrewd business man long
to take advantage of this state OF affairs,
so the manufacture of -four from Califor
MIA wheat on Mexican territory was begun.
When the -four was made new diff
Guilty beset the manufacturers. There is
no line of steamers that runs directly from
Ensenada to Spanish-Mexican ports. That
difficulty was soon overcome by shipping
the flour back to San Francisco in transit.
By that means the manufacturer in En-
senada saves the 25 per cent duty and can
thus llndersell any mlll-oWner In either
California or Oregon.
The steamer Willamette Valley, which
got in last Wednesday from Ensenada
brought very large shipment OF -four, all
consigned to merchants in Acapulco and
Salinas Cruz. 1t has all been transferred
to the Pacific Mail Company's steamers
and will be landed on Mexican soil duty
free. By this means California will lose
the sale of at least 5000 tons OF -four a
L III -.
cheap labor, will reap all the benefits. In
fact it has been openly stated that the
Mexican millers can buy California wheat,
turn it into -four, ship it to San Diego and
Los Angeles and then sell it for less
money and at profit than a similar
article can be purchased in San Francisco.
The -four market in Japan is very dull.
During the war with China very heavy
supplies were laid in at high rates and the
merchants are now trying to sell. In con-
sequence the shipments from this port
| have been very light, except to Hongkong

ment of services is such discrimination.
To illustrate, it is claimed that if the rail-
road company were to issue pass to a
member of any of the large business firms
in this City, such an act would undoubtedly
be construed as a violation of the interstate
commerce act, as it would be giving one
patron of the road an advantage over all
the others, and that in this way a dis
elimination would certainly be worked
whether the pass were ever used or not. 1t
is further claimed that pass is in the
nature of check, and that, while in itself
it is not valuable, it represents and is good
for that which has intrinsic value.
Harry A. Knox states that as soon as
G. 2. Huntington comes within the State
he proposes, acting under Federal
statute, to have him arrested on warrant
issued on a complaint charging him with
having violated the interstate commerce
law. This action will be, taken with the
sanction and approval of the local branch
of the American Railway Union.
The complaint will be drawn up by
George w. Monteith, the attorney who
defended the strikers in the United States
District Court. Speaking of the matter
Mr.. Monteith yesterday said:
"a great many people have a mistaken
Federal court Wednesday. No order of
dismissal of the case against Mr.. Hunting
ton was entered. In fact the court simply
stood mute. The District Attorney en-
tered nolle prosequi. The effect of this
is to terminate the action at the time
pending. But it does not amount to bar
to another prosecution and as q conse-
euence Mr.. Huntington may be arrested
under another indictment and tried. Un-
der the Federal statutes Mayor Sntro is
ex-offcio Federal magistrate, and Mr..
Huntington could be prosecuted before
him and held to answer before the Federal
Grand Jury, which would thus be called
upon to investigate the case.
"But in that event Mr.. Foote, as the
prosecuting officer of the Government,
would again be placed in the position Of
an unwilling prosecutor, as I personally
know from his conversation with me dur
ing the strikers case that he is opposed to
the prosecution of Mr.. Huntington.
"For that reason i believe that it is the
duty of the Government to employ special
counsel, whose heart is in the prosecution,
to prosecute Mr.. Huntington.

way. Union men about this matter. and

RICHMOND'S NEW CHURCH.
Congregationalists to Erect Modern
Edifice-Building Notes and Other
Items of the District.

The most notable improvement contem-
plated in Richmond is the building of a
new house of worship by the Richmond
Congregational Church. Rev. Phillip
Coombs is the pastor in charge, and under
his administration the attendance has
grown much beyond the capacity of the
present building.
1t is now proposed to move the old
church back some eighty feet and erect in
its stead an edifice of the latest archi-
tectural design and at the same time COM
future, of the district Plans to this end
are now being drawn, though it will be
some weeks before they are finally sub
mitted to the church for approval. The
Richmond Congregational Church is on
Seventh avenue, near Clement street.
AT present there are at least fifty dwell
ings in course of construction and as
many more talked of by house-seekers.
J. Y. Hull is building two fats on Fourth
avenue, near Point LoboS, that Will cost
complete $4,000.
When the Bay District track came into
existence the citizens were divided in

and sympathizers of the last-named insti-
tuition are now rejoicing over the reputed
failure of Mr.. Williams to raise the requi-
site amount of cash necessary to his owner

however, and say that even if Mr.. Will

visors to open the streets, strengthening

ing. to Mr.. Crocker, however, the Rich
mona people are a little premature in
rejoicing over Tom Williams setback.

SUICIDE 0F A SOLDIER.

He Overstayed His Leave and Hanged
Himself in the GuardhOuse.
Private John Coughlan of Battery F,
United States Artillery. took his life at the
Preside yesterday morning. He had been
given liberty and went on spree that
lasted several days. When he reported at
headquarters last Thursday night the SER
geant of the guard ordered him locked up
in the guardhouse. Coughlan pleaded hard
for bis liberty and pointed to his previous
good record, but it was of no avail, and he
was locked in. q.
During the night he probably brooded
over the matter and Selling the blanket
they had given he tore it into long strips.
These he made into rope and tying one
end around his neck and the other around
a hook, he strangled himself to death.
Coughlan leaves a wife and four children
who are entirely destitute.

TWENTY-SE BONDS.
They Lead to Suit Which Arises From
the Mob Hill Development Com
pany's Projects.


There will be filed in the Supreme Court
to-day suit to compel the Union Trust
Company to pay or redeem at their present
value twenty-seven $1,000 gold bonds, which,
it is alleged, were guaranteed by the trust
company to be protected by a first mort
gage on certain property.
The plaintiff in the suit is Mrs. Amanda
D. Wilson, formerly of Suffer County, but
now of San Francisco. Some months ago
President Rosenthal of the Mob Hill De-
velopnent Company induced Mrs. Wilson
to part with a ranch valued at $50, 900, but
against which there was mortgage of
$50, 000.. The consideration was $27, 600, rep
resented by twenty-seven gold bonds of the
Mob Hill company, Mr.. Rosenthal to. as
sumo all debts existing against the prop
erty. Mrs. Wilson soon discovered, so her
attorneys assert, that so far as the Mob
Hill Development Company was concerned
the bonds were practically worthless and
upon the advice OF Attorney T. ". 'Brien
will institute the suit referred to.
:. w. H. Chickering, attorney for the
Union Trust Company, outlines the defense
that will be set up, in the following letter
to Mr.. o. Brien:.
r. " OBrien-DEAR SIR: / have examined,
since you were here, the trust deed OF the Mob
Hill Development Company, and cannot con-
strue the certificate of the Union Trust Com
pnny into warranty as the priority OF the
mortgage, but on the contrary, construe
its representation into warranty that the
bond upon which 1t is Endorsed was one Of a
series, which series was secured by atrust deed,
and of that there is no question. The trust
company will be ready to take. action to fore,
close, if requested by the bondholders, in ac-
cordance with the terms OF the deed. Yours,
very truly. w. H. CHIoKERING.

eyes, SIR
Mr.. Haskins declared, in redirect exam
nation, that he had met his uncle at For
est City when boy, and that he had
'afterward visited him at the Hasklns resi-
dence in this Cityin 1856. He went to his
uncle to borrow $40, and his uncle eau
toned him to be careful. about spending
the money in San Francisco.
The witness did not seem to remember
much about his experience with his uncle.
He was not at all accustomed to dealing
with the lawyers. and he and Mr.. Deuprey
got hopelessly mixed UP in regard to vari-
Gus particulars.
Finally said the will-maker's nephew to
Mrs Haskins' attorney: you're here
and you've got me. I'm mountaineer
and I'm not able to talk with you on these
points"
.sBut don't YOU tell the truth2"
II propose to tell the truth, but it IS hard
to tell what you re driving at"
Certain letters showing i'll feeling be-
tween James and William Haskins were
inquired about and the witness declared
that thew were destroyed in the burning of
the house in 1888. Mr.. Deuprey asked
how it was that some other letters had
been preserved, and the witness stated that
they were in an iron safe.
Charles Hintzen, an old Sierra County
miner, was called by Attorney Ford. He
testified that he had intimately known
James Haskins from 1853 and that the lat
ter told him three years ago that he had
never made a will.
Mr.. Hintzen chose to stand while he gave
his testimony. and he was permitted to do
SO, as he had difficulty in enabling the
Jurors to hear him.

the decision made by the New York Fed
eral Judge, who held that the failure to
use the pass for an interstate trip barred a
prosecution under the interstate commerce
act. 1t is claimed by them that the mere
issuing of the pass to Stone constituted the
offense and that it was not necessary for
him to have made use of it to lay Hunt
ington liable to prosecution.
They state that The spirit and essence Of
the law is the prohibition of discrimina-
ton, and that the issuing of pass to any
individual who is not in the railroad
employ or who does not receive it in pay.
