Totc,s Trustees Poiceriess to Close a Dis
orderly Saloon.
FRESNO, CAL, Feb. A curious COM
plication has arisen here over the liquor
license ordinances, the outcome of which
no one can foresee. The liquor license
committee of the Town Trustees recently
investigated the manner of conducting a
saloon by one "Doc" Edwards in the Latin
quarter.
At meeting of the Trustees last evening
the committee recommended that Ed
wards license be revoked, on account of
disorder and the fact that the place was
frequented by women and boys.
When the report of the committee was
read Edwards lawyer warned the Trustees
that they had no right to revoke the
license to his client ard order the place
closed, on the ground that the amended
ordinance which provided for such pro-
ceedings had been repealed prior to its
amendment.
City ATTORNEY Moultrie copcurred in this
view. Despite these expressions, the Trus-
tees passed a resolution revoking the
license and ordering Marshal Woy to close
Edwards place at once. The Marshal has
been looking into the matter to-day, but
has taken no action. Lawyers generally
agree that Edwards cannot be compelled
to close his place, nor is he, SO they say,

REPUBLICANS OF OREGON
Silver Discussion Prevented at
the Convention of State Club
Delegates.
Carey of Multnomah County Elected
President by an Overwhelming
Majority.

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 4.-The State
Convention of Republican clubs was held
at Park Theater to-day. There were 1147
delegates in all, but only about two-thirds
were present. The convention was one of
the most enthusiastic and undoubtedly
the most harmonious ever held in the
State. There were no serious disputes on
any questions that were brought up, ex-
cept on that of ch arging future delegates
fees, which was finally compromised
1t had been expected that there would
be a split on the silver question, but it was
averred by the committee on order of busi-
ness. After reciting the usual order of
business, the committee tackled on a state
ment that no question OF party principles
or opinions of any party leader should be
introduced or considered. The silver senti-
ment in the convention was strong, but
having no shrewd leaders the delegates did
not comprehend the move, and the report
of the committee was adopted as whole
There were only two nominations for
the next president of the league-John C.
Leasure of Umatilla County and Judge
Charles H. Carey of Multnomah. Carey
was elected by large majority, the vote
being $50 to- 240. Carey has been asso-
ciated with the younger publicans as
against the machine" and his position
on the silver question is unknown, SO it
had no influence in the election.
Fourteen delegates to the National Con-
yenrion of Republican Clubs, to be held at
Milwaukee, were elected as follows: At

a Thin Cloud of Smoke EnreIops the
SnOtc- Capped Peak.
SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Feb. A
volcano appears to be in eruption in
Mount Tanquitz, which is situated about
twenty miles northeast of San Jacinto.
Trainmen who arrived in this city this
morning reported that smoke was seen is
suing from the mountain, and it is thought
that after centuries of inactivity the crater
has again become opened by some subter-
ranean disturbance.
From this city thin cloud, apparently
of smoke, can be seen lowering over the
peak. 1t cannot be from forest fire. as
the mountain is snow-capped. The In
dians in the neighborhood have always
been in great fear of Mount Tanquitz, as
they, as well as hunters who have been in
the vicinity, have heard rumblings and
subterranean noises from the mountain,
and it has long been regarded as an ex-
tinct volcano.

SAN JACINTO. CAL, Feb. 4.-There is
considerable excitement here over what
appears to be an eruption of part of the
San Jacinto Mountains called Tanquitz
Peak, twenty miles distant. The streets
of San Jacinto have to-day been crowded
with people looking through telescopes at
ominous clouds of smoke which have hung
over Tanquitz.
When first noticed at 9 o'clock this
morning the vicinity of the peak was hazy
with smoke. Within the next hour this
smoky mist cleared away and through the
glasses leveled at the summit The gazers
were able to detect a straight line of
smoke ascending skyward. Soon this thin
streak disappeared and then the smoke
began rolling upward in clouds as though
puffed from a railroad locomotive. San
Jaclnto people looked on in blank amaze
ment, and throughout the day continued
to gaze at this unusual phenomenon.
The smoke has continued to pour out of
Tanquitz all day, and fear of an eruption
has caused great excitement. It is believed
word will soon reach here from people
who live in Strawberry Valley, located
four miles from the foot of TanquitZ Peak.
People OF Strawberry Valley have fire.
quently in the past heard explosions,
seemingly occurring in the interior of the
peak. Because of these rumblings, and
from the fact that scientists have declared
that Tanqultz Peak harbors an extinct
volcano, dwellers in the surrounding
valleys have long been in fear of an erup-
ton. Indians who live in the neighbor-
hood recite traditions of time when this
was 'ire-mountain," and prophet of
the tribe not long ago predicted another
eruption TO occur soon

SUISUN, CAL, Feb. 4.-William ].
Stanton was brought before Judge Buckles
in the Superior Court of Solano County
last week on the charge of having shot and
killed Medora H. Keach in Vallejo last
December. He was found guilty of MUIR
der in the second degree. This morning
the prisoner was sentenced to twenty-five
years imprisonment in San Quentin.
Judge Buckles said the Jurors evidently
did not believe in the insanity plea,
which the prisoners attorneys urged in
his defense. They came to the conclusion
that the man had, while in desperate
state of mind disappointed in not obtain
ing his discharge from the marine service
and fearing his marriage with the unfor-
tunate woman would cause comment,
committed the crime. Stanton was taken
to San Quentin this evening by Deputy
Sheriff Donaldson.
