I'M HIS BROTHERS INTEREST.
Trying to Save the Neck of Engineer
Worden.

The Rev. Whiting S. Worden, NJ. D.,
missionary of Yokohama, and brother
of S. D. Worden, the convicted train
wrecker, is at the Occidental hotel in San
Francisco. He has come over from ia
nan to do all he can to get his brothers
sentence committed to life imprison-
ment. and is now circulating petition
asking Gov Budd for clemency.
"My brother must have been insane"
said DR.. Worden yesterday. ut could
not have been any other way. He. was
always very quiet and peaceable. He
drank however, and when he drank, II
sometimes made him wild.
1--WE do not hope for new trial now.
The case was appealed, and we tried to
reopen the case in the supreme court,
but couldn't do it. 1t is settled now, and
all 1 can do is to appeal to Gov. Budo.
He can save him If he will.
ut looks hard that the same evidence
that acquitted all the others should con-
Wet him. MY brother came to the Pa
cific coast from New York in 1869. He
used to be messenger for Wells, Fargo
E. Co, and he was present at the driving
of the gold spike, when the Central and
Union Pacific roads were connected. HIS
father was one Of the most respected
physicians of Syracuse, where he prac-
ticed medicine for forty-nine years. our
grandfather on mothers side was grad
uate Of Harvard and also physician foT
many years in Massachusetts,. My broth
er should have been one Of the leading
men here.
.'He is to be resentenced next Tues
day at Woodland. I do not know when
1 shall go back to Japan. came as soon
as / could as soon as I got the news
that the case could not be reopened
cannot believe that the people who are
influential will be bloodthirsty. and
hope they will aid me in trying to gain

ship Monmouthshire, reaching Portland
in fourteen days from Yokohama. Thence
he came direct to San Francisco.

morning set for the hour for hearing.
Mccarthy, 1t is expected, will make
his fight at the preliminary examina-
ton, and expresses himself as confident
of acquittal. On the other hand, the de-
tectives claim to have a surprise in store
for him, which will be sprung today.
Fred L. Jones, the saloon-keeper now
awaiting trial on the same charge, has
been subpoenaed as a witness by Nc
Carthy, but the value of his testimony
to the defense is doubtful. as it Is ru-
mored that he has '.squealed," and that
the surprise the detectives claim to
have in store is based on evidence Sc
cured through his confession.

close mouthed, but that sensational de-
velopments may be looked for seems GER

There have been for several days in

Walton army and others to change the
sentence of hanging of the Cummings
brothers to a life sentence. The follow
ing counter petition has been circulated
in Los Angeles, and will be transmitted

Hon. James H. Budd, Governor of the
State of California: We, the UNDER

your excellency to let the law take its

and concurred in by the supreme court,
In the case of the People against John

murdered 7. c. Naramore in August.

Los Angeles, September II, 1896.
The murder of Naramore was one OF
the most atrocious crimes ever commit
ted In the state; the murderers were fair
~ tried and convicted. and it is not be-
lieved that the executive will take any
steps to prevent the carrying out of the
death penalty.

our advantages over other points in

entirely on the one road, viz, the South

The chamber of commerce is now en-
deavor1ng to induce some steamship
company to establish communicat jop
between one of our ports and the west
ern COAST OF Mexico and central Amer
lea. Our government at the last session

contiguous to this city, an Improvement
of vital Importance to our commerce
The chamber OF commerce and the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
have now under consideration the pron-
osition to send one or two representa-
tives to Mexico and Central America for
the purpose of studying the conditions
of those countries, seeking new markets
for the varied products that can be in
troduced with profit from this section.
No statistics exist that would show
the exact volume of commercial BUSH
ness between Southern California and
foreign countries, for the reason that ar
ticles intended for export are not as a.
rule consigned direct, and hence cannot
be traced with certainty. But from the
information that has been furnished
this body by commercial houses having
business relations with Mexico the sales
to that country must be considerable and
we have no doubt that they will increase
rapidly If the relations between the two
countries became closer.

eminent to establish a consulate at Los

TO EvADE TIE LAW.

Special to the Register
Washington. d. c.. March 1S.-The
pool rooms at St. Asaph driving park
were opened for business to-day for the
first time since the passage Of the Maui
min anti-pOol selling bin by the Virginia
legislature. 1t was at first rumored
that Gov. O'Ferrell would send a com
pany OF militia TO see that the law was
enforced, but this was unfounded and
no arrest were made The Virginia
JOCKEY Club furnished its patrons with
coupon money order slips. and trans
mitted by wire the wagers to Book
maker Callidower in Wheeling, w. Va.
where the bets were placed.
No bets were accepted at the track
but a commission of ten cents was
charged on each wager transmitted and
placed. The sports think that in this
manner they can successfully evade the
law.
A number Of Alexandria county Off
cials were present but no attempts to
arrest were made The officials of the
club all resigned last night 50 as not to
