INCENDIARISM AT SALINAS.
Systematic Attempts to Burn the
Town Believed to Be the
Work of One Person.

Los ANGELES, March 5.-Two women
were brought in from Pico Heights this
morning and arraigned before Justice
Young on a charge of arson.
For several years past mysterious fires
have broken out in the Pico Heights dis
trict, which is a suburb of this city. A
little over year ago ex-County Recorder
John Francis was arrested on a like
charge, but he was able to prove at the
trial that he was not the incendiary who
was operating in the neighborhood. Now
Mrs. Amelia Platt and Mrs. Knox, her
sister are in custody under a charge sworn
TO by Minnie Dunham.
The houses of both the defendants were
burned down not long since, and Minnie
Dunham accuses the women of destroying
their own property for the purpose of get
ting the insurance money. Mrs. Knox's
children went away some time ago, SAYING
they were guided by spirits, and they
feared that some one would set fire to the
buildings

SEATTLE ELEV ATOR MISHAP.
A PASSENGER TRIES TO JUMP
FROM THE CAGE AND Is
KILLED.
HIS DEAD BODY PLUNGEs Down
THE SHAFT THROUGH Four
STORIES.

SEATTLE, Wash, March 5.-M. N. Nelson,
postmaster at Seabold, Kitsap County, was
killed tonight by an accident in an eleva-
tor in the Pioneer building in this city.
Shortly after o'clock tonight Nelson
was seated in the elevator talking to Lewis
Thompson, the elevator man, at the door
of the fourth floor.
Thompson stepped out to light the gas
in the hall. The elevator started to drop,
and Nelson seized the lever and attempted
to stop it. The elevator shot upward, and
Nelson, becoming excited, tried to Jump
out. He was caught between the floor of
the elevator and the top of the door and
his neck was broken.
young girl, a friend of Nelson who
was in the elevator at the time, was told
by the elevator man to grasp the lever and
slowly lower the elevator. She, too, lost
her head and let the elevator drop with
great rapidity. Nelson's body, which was
hanging half out OF the elevator dropped
outside, and the door on the fourth floor
being open, it pitched headlong down the
shaft. The body was badly mangled.
Nelson was a widower

SEYMOUR AS WARDEN,
The Senator May Sue
Ceed Hale at San
Quentin.
GOV. BUDD FAVORS HIM.
State Prison Commissioners
Not Likely to Oppose the
Executive.
AULL IS TO BE REAPPoINTED.
The Folsom Prison Keeper VIII
Not Be Ousted From His
Position.

SACRAMENTO, March 5.-According to the
latest gossip among State officials, State
Senator Seymour has been slated for the
position of Warden at San Quentin, to take
the place of Warden Hale, whose term of
office will soon expire. General regret is
expressed that Hale is threatened with
being turned down, for it is acknowledged
that he had made an excellent Warden.
1t is doubtful if better man will be Sc
cured, even if Senator Seymour proves to
be the successful asplrant.
1t is well known that Warden Hale is the
choice of majority of the State Prison
Commissioners, but the will of the Gov
ernor has never yet been thwarted in the
choice of Warden, and in this case the
Governor is said to lean toward Seymour.
In explanation of this inclination, it is
said that the Governor has certain COM
binations that he desires to work, and that
he can complete his organization with Sen
ator Seymour more easily than with Mr..
Hale.
Warden Aull of the Folsom penitentiary
is to be reelected, and Joseph E. Baker, a
newspaper writer well known in San Fran
cisco and Oakland, will get the place as
Deputy Warden at Folsom.
Within three months there will be 400
prisoners removed from San Quentin to
Folsom, the apparent intention being to
minimize and finally to abandon the prison
at San Quentin, concentrating the prison
ers OF the northern part of the State at
Folsom. This will be urged for the reason
that Folsom is better located for penal
institution, it allows more opportunities
forsemploying the prisoners, and is harder
to escape from than San Quentin.
|. Some suggestion has been made that the
Republican majority of the Board of State
Prison Commissioners will feel inclined to
resist Governor Budd's suggestions, but it
is admitted that he could make great deal
of trouble for them by ordering their dis
missal from the board if they should dis
play refractory spirit. There might be a
legal defense made against such action by
the Governor, but it would disturb the
tenure of the Commissioners, and therefore
it is deemed probable that they will yield
obediently to the chief executive.

ALASKA B0UNDARr DISPUTE.
Sedttie's Chamber of Commerce Taking a
stand against EnGLdad,s Claims

SedHie's Chamber of Commerce Takino a
stand against EnGldnd's Claims.
SEATTLE Wash, March 5-The Chamber
OF Commerce has appointed committee
to investigate the question of the boundary
between Alaska and British Colum bia, and
to arouse public opinion to the importance
OF maintaining American rights in this
matter.
The question is to be considered by an
international commission this year, and as
a preliminary step surveys have been made
by parties from both countries, but the
British show much more thoroughness
and activity in this matter than the Ameri-
cans, and in order to secure possession of
the Yukon mines, are now preparing to
build road over the Taku Pass TO the
head waters of the Yukon
The principal controversy hinges on the
Interpretation of the treaty locating the
boundary ten marine leagues from the
shore England contends that this line
should not follow the inlets, America that
1t should. If England's contention pre-
walls, Juneau and the best harbors will be
in her territory. Hence the agitation
here, where the largest business with
Alaska is done and where the Alaska
steamers start. All chambers of commerce
on the coast will be asked to cooperate.

VALLEJO MASON MISSING.
1reasurer Bertoscky of NaraL Lodge
MYSteriousJy DisappeGrs.

1reds"rer Bertoscky of Naral Lodge
Mysteriously Disappears.
VALLEJO March ga. B. Bertoscky, one
OF the Oldest residents and treasurer of
Naval Lodge, F. and A. M, has been miss
ing since Thursday. No trace of him can
be found. He left home hurriedly and
without reason. AS far as known, his
financial accounts are correct, although an
effort is being made to keep the real facts
quiet.
A visit to his home throws no light on
his mysterious disappearance.
1t is supposed that heavy financial calls
made on him met him unprepared, and
that worriment over the same caused dis
traction of mind
Bertoscky is regarded in this community
as an upright and honest man, and while
the belief does not exist that there is
shortage in his accounts, his disappearance
is not explained. 1t is known that he had
considerable real estate in San Diego, and
not being able to realize on the same, he evi-
IDENTIFY became disheartened. His friends
say he will turn up all right. His books in
the lodge are being exported.

INCENDIARISM At SALINAS.
Systematic attempts of Il Firebug to De-

Systematic attempts of Il Firebug to De-
StrOy the TotCR.
SALINAS, Cal, March 5.-Salinas has, no
doubt, suffered more loss by incendiarism
IN the last year than any other town of the
same size in California. OF the twenty or
so fires in the last year every one has been
set in the same manner, and all between
the hours of $3.50 and 8 o'clock in the even
ing, indicating it was the work of the one
incendiary.
Last ev| ming the record was broken, for
no sooner was the first fire. that in a barn
containing 200 tons of hay, under control
vnen second hay barn, half block
away from the one burning, was fired.
Both barns were located in district where
there are many dwelling-houses, and some
of them ignited, but the flames were
promptly eXtinguished. The loss was
almost entirely confined to the two large
hay-barns. But for the prompt work OF
the fire department a serious conf1agration
would have ensued. The total loss will
amount to about $4,000.

urge the Congress of the United States to cede
to the State OF California the said island of
ferba Buena, commonly known as Goat Island,
situete in the bay OF San Francisco, 20 be used
by said State and its grantees or assigneess sfor-
ever, solely for general railroad terminal pur-
poses.
Senator Earl drafted this anew, and
Senator Langford introduced the revised
text as substitute. 1t reads as follows:
ResolUed, BY the Senate, the Assembly con-
curing, that our Senators in Congress be in
structed and our Representatives requested to
urge the Congress of the United States to cede
to the State OF California, su bect to all military
and naval purposes of the United States, the
said island OF Yerba Buena, in the bay of San
Francisco, commonly known as Goat Island,
to be held by said State as an irrevocable trust,
and without power of sale or transfer, and to
be used by said State solely and only for ter
minal purposes for all railroads on equal
terms.
Burke opposed the substitute resolution,
attacking it bitterly as Southern Pacific
scheme. There is to be a competing rail-
road" said Langford. ''The people have
put their hands in their pockets to free
themselves from Southern Pacific domina-
ton. The Southern Pacific has bought up
all the Oakland water front If Congress
cedes Goat Island to the State competing
railroad can secure good terminal. Two

years ago we voted $500, ,000to build union
depot for the Southern Pacific company.
Now, if we can secure Goat Island, COM
peting road can use the island for termi-
nal and use the depot, which will become
union one in fact as we'll as in name"
Senator McAllister said a splendid ef-
fort was being made for a competing road,
but it was not certain that the San Fran
cisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad de-
sired Goat Island for terminal. 1t
might make Stockton its terminal,
and there was an excellent little
town in Contra Costa County called
Antioch which would make a good
terminus. When the San Joaquin Valley
Railroad wanted to use Goat Island for ter
minal purposes it would ask Congress for
it, and it would then be time for the Legis-
lature to pass such resolution.
The octopus, so called, can have no
superior advantages under the resolution.

BETTMAN REPLIES TO DILLE.
IHE ASSEMBLYMAN SAYS THE
CLERGYMAN SLANDERED HIM.

SACRAMENTO, March 5.-The Calls ac-
count of the speech of the Rev. E. r.
Ollie, at the mass-meeting held in Odd
Fellows hall last night, moved Bettman of
San Francisco to burst of eloquence to-
day.
The preacher spoke of the young Assem-
blyman in most disparaging terms stating
that he was the proprietor of corner
grocery and saloon. He also declared that
Bettman had worked against raising the
age of consent from 18 to Is, and that it
was not at all surprising for a man in his
business. All these statements Bettman
denounced as false in very spirited
speech.
"There is an article in this mornings
CALL" he said, 'that reflects not only on
myself, but on the Committee on Public
Morals. In it Rev. Mr. Ollie is reported as
making statements which are false in
every particular. He said that l kept
corner grocery store and saloon. 1t is
untrue. Every business man in San Fran
cisco knows my place of business is at 121
California street. The records will show
that his statement that l worked against
raising the age of consent is untrue. From
the beginning I sought to forward it, as
every man in this house knows
At the conclusion of his speech Bettman
made scathing arraignment of Mr.. Dille's
propensity to mistake. He announced that
he had no quarrel with ministers. He
wanted them to attend to their own bust
ness though, as he was willing to attend
to his.
Mark Devine of San Francisco also rose
to question of privilege. Rev. Mr. Ollie,
he said, had seen fit to abuse the San Fran
cisco delegation in way that he could not
but resent.
81 am no gambler" shouted Devine. ''I
do not believe in horseraces nor go to the
races. l am a business man and am a
representative of San Francisco, and want
to object to any man presuming upon his
being preacher to make false statements
about myself and my colleagues"
Devine concluded by announcing that,
though he did not profess to possess any
supernatural degree of virtue, yet he con-
sidered himself as good as any preacher
fighting in the cause of the Lexow bill.
