MADEIRA COUNTY JUSTICE
An Arbitrary Assessment Levied
Against Cattle King
Henry Miller.
Disastrous Result of Swearing Falsely
to the Number Of His
Stock.

MADEIRA, CAL, March 27.-The largest
arbitrary assessment ever made in Cali
fornia was to-day placed on the rolls of
this county by Assessor Lou Hoskins.
The assessment was against Henry Miller,
the cattle king.
Miller came here short time ago and
gave 20 the Assessor his statement of the
number of cattle owned or controlled by
the firm of Miller & Lux, and which were
in this county at II o'clock on the first
Monday in March of this year. The state
ment was sworn to, and was to the effect
that the firm had only 5000 stock cattle and
500 calves in this county at that time. The
Assessor discovered that there were in this
county at that time 5000 stock cattle, 500
calves and 1900 beef cattle, in addition to
the 5000 stock cattle and 500 calves sworn
to by Miller. The Assessor then made the
assessment arbitrarily at the values and
sums named, as follows: Five hundred
calves, $4,000; 5000 stock cattle, 1920, ,OU0;
1900 beef cattle, SOS, 900.
1t is believed that the Assessor got his
information some time ago, when he and
his deputy went down on the Colum bia
ranch presumably on fishing trip.

SHOT IN A BARROOM.
"Bu1l" Harrington Probably Fatally
Wounded by Saloon-Keeper McNulty.

"Bu1l" Harrington Probably Fatally
Wounded by saloon-Keeper McNulty.
James alias "Bull" Harrington, team
ster living at 1445 Minna street, was shot
and probably fatally wounded by James
McNulty, a saloon keeper on Sixteenth
and Mission streets, last night. The
wounded man was carried to the Receiving
Hospital about 9 o'clock, DR.. Bunnell at
tending him.
Yesterday afternoon Harrington and
one William McNamara, both well known
in police circles, made tour of the Mis-
sion-street saloons, reaching McNulty's
place about 6 o'clock. From the best evil
dence obtainable it seems that the two
men were excited and inclined to be de-
cidedly belligerent. They called for
drinks in very insulting way, and not
being served quite as quickly as they de-
sired, began to abuse McNulty. The shoot
ing ensued with the result stated.
Harrington was found to be dangerously
wounded, and it was advisable to remove
him to the Receiving Hospital. The ball
lodged in the back, but the feeble condi-
tion of the man would not admit of its
being probed for.
At 10 o'clock last night McNulty was
arrested and lodged in the Seventeenth
street station charged with assault to
M urder. He claims that the shooting was
done in self f-defense

The Situation Among Painters
Was One of Peace and
Hope.
VISIT TO THE CITY HALL.
Incompetent Workmen, Bad Materials
and Poor Work Said to Have
Been Found.

The situation in the painters strike re-
mained unchanged yesterday, which fact
was due largely to the rain and the partial
victory of the strikers. Many union paint
ers who had been working for some days
were compelled to desist yesterday be-
cause of the weather, but they made use of
their enforced idleness by meeting fellow
union men at lis Turk street and ex-
changing cheerful views of their success.
There was meeting OF the Painters
Union in the morning at Turk-street
Temple. It was an executive session. The
attendance was noticeably less than at re-
cent gatherings of the union, but every
man present understood that this was one
of the most hopeful and healthful signs of
the struggle. Indeed, one member re-
marked that he wished there were fewer
present, meaning that in such event more
union painters would be working for in
creased wages and on the card system.
The decrease in this meeting was ac-
counted for by the fact that a respectable
proportion of the members were engaged
in union shops about town upon indoor
work.
Practically no action of Importance bear
ing upon the strike was taken at the meet
ing, for the reason there was nothing to
be done. So the time was proftably occu-
pied in making and listening to short
speeches on the present condition and out
look of the strike. Harmony was a pre-,
dominant feature of the discussions, mixed
with words of mutual encouragement and
something of an inclination to be con-
gratulatory over success achieved so far.
1--WE are on the winning side" said R. T.
Mclvor, business manager of the union,
"and we know it.
I'VE expect that tomorrow and Monday
many bosses will ask US to come back to
work for them. OF course our union men
will accept, although on the understand
ing that everything required by the union
in regard TO wages, working hours and the
card shall be adopted.
While there are but few shops belong
ing TO the master painters in the associa-
ton now employing union painters
We have positive information that several
and are thinking of employing union men

Mock's Application for an Injunction
Submitted for Decision.
SANTA ROSA, CAL. March 27.-An-
other phase Oft celebrated suit of Wesley
Mock against the city of Santa Rosa was
ended here to-day. This particular part
of the litigation was the application of
Mock for an interlocutory injunction TO
restrain the city from accepting the new
water works. The case was tried before
Judge Daingerfield of San Francisco, who
is holding court in place of Judge Dough-
erty, the latter Judge being disqualified
by reason of his being taxpayer. Five
DAYS was occupied in taking the testimony.
and about the same amount of time was
consumed by the six attorneys interested
In the arguments.
Attorney Lynch of San Francisco opened
for the plaintiff and talked for nearly two
days. He was followed by his colleague
G. IS. Farquar. who consumed several
hours. Judge DeHaven then presented
briefly his view of the case for the city in
terse and vigorous speech of two hours,
leaving the details OF the defense to Judge
Rutledge and the City Attorney. Attor-
ney Goodwin of San Francisco, for Con-
tractors Perkins and Robert Effey, also
addressed the court in behalf of his clients.
and the long war of words was ended by
the plaintiffs lawyers in another day and
a half of talk.

MANY IMMIGRANTs DETAINED.
Undesirable Foreigners Not to Be Per-

Undesirable foreigners Not to Be Per-
sastted TO Land.
NEW YORK, N. Y, March 27.-Of 500
Italians who arrived from Naples on the
steamship Hindostan 100 have been de-
tanned at Ellis Island because they have no
money and no definite idea OF what they
are going to do in America. The 100 had
an average of only 81 each, and many were
without baggage.
On the Chateau Yquem, which arrived
on Tuesday, there were 1905 Italians, in
cluding only thirty women, only four of
whom had abroad tickets west of Phila-
delphia. They were part of the multi
tude that hibernates in Italy and whsn
warm weather comes here set sail for New
York. Most of them have no intention of
becoming citizens.
Commissioner Senner has detained 400
of the Chateaus S emigrants. The ship was
chartered by man named De Lucia of
Naples from Funch, Edyee & Co., her
agents, and as Commissioner Senner does
not know anything about De Lucia the ex-
penses of the detention will fall on Funch,
Edyee & Co., who neglected to make a
contract with DE Lucia providing that he
should assume the responsibility for de-
tanned and deported emigrants.

SAN JosE,s PAeEANE
The Floral Processton W3U Be TtUo Miles
Long.

Long.
SAN JOSE, CAL, March 27.-The floral
parade on the opening day of the Carnival
OF Roses in this city, in May, will be the
most magnificent pageant that ever
threaded the streets of Pacific Coast city.
AT least that is the outlook as judged from
the success with which Colonel A. K.
Whitton and other mem bers of the parade
committee are meeting and the enthusi-
asm displayed in carnival matters by the
people of the city and county. So far
thirty-six floats have been ordered, and it
is certain that twice this number in addi-
ton will be in the parade, which will be
over two miles long.
A feature of the parade will be two CO M
panies of floral lancers, partaking of the
nature Of cavalry. The companies will
appear in floral baidrics and the horses
will be covered with floral housings and
trappings. To add to this fine military
effect the lancers will carry floral lances
resting on their stirrups.
There will also be large representa- ton
of coaches, T-carts, dogcarts and other
fancy gigs owned and driven by the promi-
nent ladies of the city and the county. A
large number of ladies have already en-
tered upon this work. Their outfits will
appear to the very heighth of floral deco
rative work, and the effort is to be made
the greater because of valuable prizes that
will be offered.
The parade will consist of five divisions,
each headed by band, and most of the
displays of the surrounding towns will be
preceded by musical organizations. It is
estimated that the floats alone will make
parade mile long. Besides these there

EVASION OF THE CARD.
Master Painters Claim to Have
Found Way Out Of a
nfIerproa

The master painters will not admit that
the journeymen have anything the best OF
it, but on the contrary are inclined to be
positive that the victory is on their own
side. Their president, E. II. Black, stated
that so far but one association shop had
acceded to the demands of the union, and
that was McCord's.
"McCord had to do it," said Black. "His
contracts were in dwellings, where the
carpets were all torn up and furniture
packed away, and the people demanded
that the jobs be finished.
sit was like getting an extension of time.
The day this work is done McCord can tell
his union men he has nothing more for
them to do, but at the same time he can
have non-union men on another job.
The journeymen complain that the
card is not properly understood. One can
have different views on the subject. For
instance, the card provides that no men,
ber of the Painters Union shall work on
a job with non-union painter. 1t does
not say anything about not working in
an association shop. Now, members of
our association might accept the card sys-
tenn, though dent say they would, ard
have only union painters em mployed on q
job where union carpenters, etc., were
working. At the same time the same
master painter may have job over on
North Beach, and there is nothing in the
card to prevent him from having four or
five non- union men doing the work. You
see they could work by themselves, for
while union painters would object to work
on job with non-union men there could
be no objection to this arrangement. So
we have concluded that this card is not
such a wonderfully clever thing after ALL
ssAll the men who can-in and out of the
union-are getting work some place or
another. They have come to realize that
if the master painters should give in there
