District Attorney Harrington Asked to

SAN JOSE. CAL, Dec. 15-Miss Mar
garet Blake, young dressmaker living at
224 South First street, has complained to
District Attorney Harrington that Joseph
Rabozzi. would be sutton. is annoy ing
her with his attentions. The girl is a
pretty brunette and just above the legal
marriage age, while Rabozzi, who is a
Swiss junkman, is nearly so years old.
Rabozzi lived near the Blakes at one time
and was won't to visit the family occa.
sionally. He took a great liking TO Mar
garet, the eldest of four girls, and soon his
affection ripened into love. He proposed
to her and she accepted in spirit of fun.
This was two years ago and since then
RaboZzi has devoted all his spare time to
the girl, much 10 her annoyance. A few
months ago Miss Blake told him she was
only ''fooling" him and would not marry
him. This enraged Rabozzi and he APP
piled to the Sheriff's office Tor aid in fore
ing her to fulfill her part of the contract.
a deputy Sheriff accompanied him to the,
girls home, but she refused 10 treat with
him, declaring she would not marry him
''if every hair in his head was diamond
and every tooth $40 gold piece"
Since then he has persisted in calling at
the Blake home and pressing his suit.
On November Is he procured a marriage
license for himself aud the girl, and he de-
clares if she doesn't marry him before the
expiration of the thirty days, which comes
on Thursday he will have her and her
whole family arrested.

KERN c0UNTPS OLD EEUD.
Reign of LawfessnesS Recalled BY an
Application to the Governor
for Pardon.
for a Pardon

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Dec. 15.-The
application for q pardon for the Gibson
brothers, filed with Governor Budd to-
day, reopens the story of a bloody feud in
the mountains of this county. Fletcher
Burton was killed in his cabin by shots
fired from outside several years ago. Just
before his killing the two Gibsons and
Ben Walker were seen together near the
scene. They were charged with the muir
der, but Walker escaped and was never
caught.
The Gipsons tried to prove an alibi, but
did not try to fix the crime upon any one
else whom they would name. The evil
dence against them was very strong and
they were considered lucky to get off 18th
sentences of life imprisonment.
Now it is said evidence has been found
showing that one Jack" Spratt was
guilty. Spratt served a term in State
prison for stage robbery in this county.
One of the principal witnesses against
him was Fletcher Burton. Spratt claimed
that Burton was engaged in the robbery
and confessed in order to save himself
Shortly before Burton was killed Spratt
was discharged from prison, and he is said
to have been in the county when Burton
was murdered. The charge was made
against him at the time, and he afterward
went TO Arizona, where he is now-prob-
ably at Tom bstone. Another of thu Bur-
tons was killed by man named Allison
in the same neigh borhood, but the latter
escaped on the ground OF self-defense.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec. 15.-The
Southern California legislators spent last
night and this morning at the Whittier
State school to find what appropriations
will be necessary from the coming Legis-
lature. The aggregate cost of improve
ments is about 500, 600. They include two
additional cottages for boys, to accommo-
date fifty each; trades building to cost
about $4,000, and equipment $4,000; a
separate residence for the superintendent,
to cost $4,000; hospital to cost $1,000 and
100 acres of additional land, to cost $500
an acre.
While at Whittier last night the Repub-
lican mem bers of the Assembly from
Southern California met and organized
by the selection of Hon. L. III. Valentine
of Los Angeles as chairman. The purpose
of the organization is to present united
front and cooperate on matters of inter-
est peculiar to this section. Mem bers
from Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and
San Bernardino counties were present at
the meeting.

ADVANCING SAN
PEDRO'S CLAIMS
Expert Engineers Declare
Its Harbor Site the
Best.
Mass of Evidence Collected fer
Presentation Before the
Commission.
The Valley Railway Enters the Fight
to Tnwart Huntington's
Scheme.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec. 15.-San
Pedro or Santa Monica-which?
The marshaling of the contend1ng forces
in the great harbor contest has been going
on increasingly here to-day. Millionaire
Kerns, who is to conduct the San Pedro
fight in person in behalf of the Terminal
Railroad Company, is fastening across
the continent at high rate of speed in
his special train. aeis expected to arrive
tomorrow forenoon. A number of his
ablest lieutenants, skilled experts and
lawyers are already on the ground; in
fact, his marine and fertilization en-
glneers have. it is now known, been here
for some weeks quietly at work making
surveys, plats, maps and charts of the
whole field of marine inquiry at both San
Pedro and Santa Monica. It is said that
this work has already cost Major Kerns
and his associates $4,000. and that $780,
900 may he expended by these gentlemen
alone before the Government commission
quits Southern California.
The experts have amassed such huge
bundle of evidence in favor of San Pedro
and of such convincing character as to be
almost overwhelming. This latest inves-
tigation has not only confirmed but
greatly strengthened the several reports
of Government engineers respecting the
unquestioned superiority OF San Pedro
over Santa Monica as a site for deep
water harbor. The scientific evidence
will be presented to the commission at
the proper time.
A new ano powerful element in this con-
test is the San Joaquin Valley Railroad
Company, which has joined the Terminal
Company III opposition to the Southern
Pacific monopoly.
Owing to the disgraceful methods en-
ployed last spring by the Huntington
tage in the present fight. Wholesale for
petitions went to Washington. and only
by the merest accident were the forgeries
discovered and the scheme exposed.
There is, of course, no chance for repeti-
ton of these methods. The whole field of
inquiry must now be conducted on decent
lines. with merit as the fundamental basis.
The chairman of the com mission is Ad-
miral John q. Walker, L. S. N, and the
members are Colonel Richard P. Morgan
OF Illinois, Augustave Rogers of the Coast
and Geodetic Survey, George S. Morrison.
a civil engineer of Chicago. and Professor
William II. Burr of the Columbia College
school OF mines of New York.
Colonel Morgan has been at the West
minister for several days. W. c. Pratt is
the secretary and dIsbursing officer of the
commission. He has been in the city
since Saturday evening. Admiral Walker
arrived from the north this afternoon, &C.
companled by Colonel Rogers. George S.
Morrison and Professor Burr are expected
tomorrow morning.
