nese passengers increased, until at lact the
talk reached the ears of the Government
officials. AS a result report was made to
the Treasury Department. This report
carried with it weight sufficient to cause
the detailing of Treasury Agent A. w.
Chappelle to investigate.
Agent Chappelle arrived in Portland in
the early part of last January and during
the four months succeeding has bent his
entire energies to the detection of crime
and conspiracy-if such existed-connected
with the landing of the Chinese on the
Signal. With eacL arrival of the steamer
he has been a constant attendant at the
examinations, yet none of the inspectors
or general officials knew him in his proper
capacity, so secretive were his movements.
On the March trip of the Signal there
arrived a Chinaman identified by divers
and sundry witnesses as Lee Cling Bong
The next voyage brought An Sing Bing,
who was also habeas corpused onto
American soil by testimony which Agent
Chappelle considered it his duty to look

of its meeting with the presidents of the
former cemeteries in the Mission.
The same subcommittee reported that
it had collected data for information in
regard to the Mission High School and
submitted the following report:
Your committee visited the Superintendent
of Public Instruction He stated that he
would give us all the assistance in his power
and would furnish us with data as to the num-
Der of children attending grammar schools in
the different sections of the City and as to the
number of pupils that win graduate this term
in the Mission district. He also stated
that he would support all efforts that
may be made to advance our cause on the
grounds of doing Justice to a large and denselv
populated section of the City. He said that a
high school in the Mission is undoubtedly a
great necessity and should be provided for out
of the next tax levy. He also stated that he
would apply to the Board of Education for the
use of room or two in the Valencia-street
Grammar School in which to hold meetings
relating to the high school; and that there
would be no objections to distribute circulars
in the public schools, relating to matters con-
nected with the high school.
Your subcommittee recommends that q Pc
tition 10 the Board Of Education be prepared
and that q large number of signatures be Sc
CURED thereto; that large committee be ap-
pointed to present the petition TO said board
and TO urge on 1t the necessity OF providing

for high school in the Mission.
Also that d committee be appoin ted to pre-
pare and present a petition to the Board of
Supervisors, at the proper time, to sustain the

HIDING IN THE UNTAINS.
Outidtc Phil CrotoIey Located by Kern
County Officers.

Outld,c Phil Cro,oIey Located by Kern
County Officers.
STOCKTON, CAL, May 1--Sheriff Cum
ningham has received from the Sheriff of
Kern County q letter in which he states
that be has located in the mountains of
that county a man whose description
answers to that of Phil Crowley, who
escaped from the atylum here about year
ago. and who afterward terrorized the
region about Haywards, robbing stores
there and foraging on the people of Ala
media County for some time. Sheriff Borg
wardt thought the man was an escape, as
he was heavily armed and evidently in
hiding. The description Tailed so closely
with that of Crowley that Sheriff. Cum
ningham has notified the Kern County
officer that the man located in the noun
talns is probably Crowley.
There is a reward of 500 offered by the
State for Crowley's apprehension and an
other of $40 that the Alameda County
authorities are willing to give. Crowley
was under life sentence on charge of
murder, and feigned insanity and was sent
to the asylum here. He managed to es-
cape, and nothing was heard of him for
several months, when he suddenly made
his appearance in the hills back of Hay
wards and had all the law officers of Ala
media County after him. He made his
raids at night, and one night broke into a
gunstore in Haywards and helped himself
to all the ammunition and guns he wanted.
He then eluded the officers and made his
way south. He was seen back of Fresno
after that. and it is probable that he is the
man who has been located in Kern County.

NEW DEPOT At EASTLAKD.
Magnificent Structure to Be Erected by
the Mount Tamaipais Railway
ComDnny

MILL VALLEY, CAL, May 1.-The Mill
Valley and Mount Tamalpais Scenic Rail-
road has at last accepted plans for it's
station-house at Eastland. The railroad
company has purchased couple of lots
from ]. H. McInnes fronting on Blythe
dale avenue and with large frontage on
that avenue will erect fine structure. j..
H. McInnes of Mill Valley designed the
building and it will be upon an elaborate
plan, with waiting-rooms and offices for
the use of the officials of the road. Work
on the building will be commenced in a
short time and will be completed by the
time the mountain road is in running
order.
The publication in a San Francisco
paper this week, to the effect that new
electric brake had been tested and proved
success, and would be put upon the cars
of the road, was erroneous. The brake was
failure, and did not stop the car; the
men were compelled to resort to the hand
brakes, in order to slow up.
The North Pacific Coast Railroad is
about to erect large freightsheds at East
land station, and lay out the grounds
about the depot in lawns and flower gar
dens.
The mountain road has constructed over
two miles of track and built nine trestles.
The men are now at work constructing the
tenth far up Corte MADEIRA Canyon. The
grading of the road for distance of six
miles has been finished, and the workmen
are now engaged on the hardest stretch to
build. as the road goes over rocky coun.
try and construction is difficult.

MOST CONTEMPTUous.
Schilling's Affidavit Finds but Little
Favor With Judge Slack

Favor With Judge Slack.
Frank Schilling, who has been trying to
have the guardianshi er of Peter
Owen Matthews trans from Judge
Coffey's court, has been ming Just along
the line of contempt, and it may be before
be is through Judge Coffey will have
him up.
Schilling was appointed guardian of the
person and estate of Peter Owen Matthews,
an incompetent, and in the settling of the
estate he has done nothing but wrangIs
with the court. He finally conceived the
idea that Judge Coffey was preiudiced
against him, and he wrote to the Judge
and told him so. Then he gave notice of
an intention to move to transfer the cause
from Judge Coffey's jurisdiction, and he
filed an AFFIDAVIT making his charges of
prejudice.
Yesterday ne made moan to Judge Slack,
but Judge Slack proved most unsym-
pathetic. The affidavit was read and the
motion made, and then Judge Slack or
.dered the affidavit stricken from the rec-
ords of the court. II was a most con-
temptuous document, said the court, and
well deserving of contempt proceedings
against the author; but the Judge said he
was satisfied that Mr.. Schiliing did not
know any better, and so he would merely
strike his unwarranted affidavit from the
court records.
So far as the letter to Judge Coffey was
concerned. Judge Slack said he would let
Judge Coffey attend to that matter him
self. The motion to transfer the case was
denied. and Mr.. Schilling will still have to
face Judge Coffey in the Matthews guard
ianship matter and also regarding his
letter.

.HOLD-UP AT WOODLAND,
Deputy Sheriff La Brie Robbed
Within Twenty Steps of
the Courthouse.

WOODLAND, CAL, May 1.-One of the
most daring hold-ups that has occurred in
this city for years was successfully carried
out tonight by two unknown men within
twenty steps of the County Courthouse.
Deputy Sheriff La Brie was the victim.
and he was robbed of purse cont aiming
$2S7..
La Brie, who is the jailer, sleeps in the
basement of the Courthouse. He had lust
emerged from his room when two men
confronted HIM with leveled revolvers and
demanded that he lose no time in handing
over his valuables.
There was no possible chance for de-
tense. and the officer reluctantly handed
over his coin. As he did so the smaller of
the robbers gashed the iailer;s wrist with
a pocket-knife.
The entire police and Sheriff's force are
in search of the robbers. La Brie is man
OF undaunted courage, and had he had the
least chance he would undoubtedly have
given the robbers a fight. Unfortunately
he was not armed at the time. Owing to
the darkness La Brie is unable to give an
accurate description of his assailants other
than that one man was tall and the other
short.

Los ANGELES AROUSED,
Southern Pacific Has Not Gained
by the Methods of Its
Agents.
Whittier Reform Schcol Inmates
Enrolled on Petitions for
Santa Monica.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 1.-The dis
closures in connection with the question
able methods of Southern Pacific hench-
men to influence the committee in charge
of the river and harbor bill for Hunting
toms harbor at Santa Monica has embit-
tered the people here to the last degree,
but the hope is now that the desperate
game OF these forgers will soon be de-
feated.
Encouraging kilograms were received
here to-day from Senator White, who is
now fully advised of the nefarious busi-
ness. The Free Harbor League has Sc
cured additional affidavits to-day, con-
firming still further the fact that unlaw-
full means were employed to secure sigma
lures to bogus petitions.
1t has been aseertained that George An
derson, the go-between, was lately paroled
from the Whittier Reform School and tenn
porariIy employed by the Evening Ex-
press, and that many of the names on the
petitions were of inmates of that institu-
tion. II. d. Osborne, editor of the Ex-
press, made the following statement to a
CALL correspondent this morning:
II know that the town has been flooded
with petitions on both sides of the ques-
ton, and that Mr.. Carrere, who has re-
ported labor matters generally, was inter
ested in circulating the petition in labor
circles; but II there are any bogus names
or forgeries knew nothing about it.
II knew nothing about the details, never
saw the petitions and had nothing to do
with them. So far as the attempt to con-
meet ne with anything dishonorable, or
w1Ih these petitions, it is falsehood. l
desire to add that In all my life have
never received one cent from the Southern
Pacific Railroad for anything but adver-
tising and the legitimate business of the
paper.
"In this fight / have been actuated
solely by the belief that the policy have
pursued is the right one.''
Late this afternoon Major Carrere called
at the District Attorneys office and asked
for complaint against young Anderson.
Carrere charges Anderson with obtaining
money under false pretenses. warrant
for Anderson's arrest was issued, but he
cannot be fouuo. Carrere is a frequent
visitor at the Whittier school, and is fond
of addressing and encouraging the boys.
On Anderson's release he took him as a
protege.

4 BADy'S HOUSE HUNTING
The Marceau Child to Be With
Mrs. Green for the
Present.

The whole Marceau family was in court
yesterday to find out what was to be done
with the Marceau baby. The authorities
at the Children's Hospital would not allow
it to remain there; the hospital is for sick
and not healthy children, they say, and
they would not allow Miss Emma Bennett,
the nurse who had charge of the child, to
leave the institution and serve for him
elsewhere.
AS means of settling the difficulty
Judge Slack was appealed to yesterday.
Miss Bennett was present with the baby in
her arms; Mrs. Marceau; Theodore Mar
ceau, the plaintiff; Mrs. Martha Green, a
friend of Mrs. Marceau's; several more
friends and few lawyers. The case came
up in the morning first, and then J. C..
Campbell and Garret McEnerney, who
represents Mrs. Marceau, stated that the
managers of the hospital refused to keep
the child there any longer as they did not
wish to be blamed if the child contracted
any disease in the institution. Campbell
then asked that the child be allowed to
remain with its mother until further pro-
vision could be made. Judge Paterson
objected, however, so the matter was set
for 1 o'clock when the case should be ar
gued..
The case was evidently argued between
times, however, for when 1 O'Clock came
the counsel had agreed upon course of
action. Mr.. Campbell said that it had
been decided that the child might go
under the care OF Mrs. Martha Green, an
old friend in the Marceau household, she
to care for him under the same conditions
as those which governed the custody of
the child when in Miss Benefits care.
This is only a temporary arrangement t.,
however, for next Monday the matter of
custody will come up again to be settled.
Judge Paterson affirmed what Mr.. Camp
bell had said, and then the whole family
trooped out of court.
The motion to set counsel fees, which
was on the calendar for next Wednesday,
was put over until next Friday.

Five Pass the Supreme
Court.
Some of Stanford's Favored Pupils
Among the Number That Passed
the Ordeal.

The 'stiffest ex" that has ever been
given by the Supreme Court to budding
lawyers has just been finished. A class
seventy-ive strong marched up the stairs
to meet the Commissioners, who examined,
and thirty-eight were successful.
Com missioners Searles, Hayne and Bel
cher sat as court of inquiry into the legal
knowledge of the students, and it was only
after most rigid and lengthy examina-
iion that any applicant was allowed to go
and hope.
An interesting feature of the class was
bunch of students from the law depart
Inent of Stanford University, the first that
has appeared for admission to practice.
Nearly every one who came TO the scratch
passed, and among the thirty-eight who
were 'plucked, Stanford had few if any
representatives. The Stanford men who
passed were: Reuben Ferdinand Gillian,
John G. Applewhite, William Elder Steuart,
Irwin G. Hopkins, Lewis III. Smith, Paul
r. Frost and Matthew H. Kingore. Edgar
o. Clayton and Louis P. Boardman, two
ex-StaDford men, also passed.
The other lucky students were: John

They Inspect the Line and Are
Greatly Pleased With Its
Progress.
READY TO HAUL THE CROPS
Heavy Yields in the San Joaquin
Valley Will Keep the New
System Busy.

STOCKTON, CAL, May IA number oi
Valley railroad officials and citizens made
trip of inspection over the road this
morning. The party included Vice Presi-
dent Robert Watt, Directors Isaac Upham,
A. H. Paysons and Leon Sloss, Chief
Engineer Storey and Bridge Engineer
Schimb bier. They were accompanied by S.
D. Rosenbaum, P. B. Fraser, II. ]. Cor
coran, A. L. Levinsky, Nate Harold and
Mr.. Kahn of Oakdale.
The railroad officials made the trip to in
spect the ch aracter and progress of the
work and they were well pleased with the
way in which the construction is being
pushed. The track is now completed to
within thirteen miles of Merced and the
line will be,able to handle freight between
this city and Merced within a month.
: The party was particularly pleased with
the trestle approaches to the Merced
River and the trpction of the bridge
over the stream. The approach from this
side is $4,000 feet long, and the one on the
other side 5000 feet. Besides being well sat
isfied with the progress of the work, the
inspectors were elated over the splendid
prospects of large harvest along the line
OF the road, and the consequent large ship
ments of grain.
1t is understood that the directors trip
was made preparatory to adopting the
freight schedules compiled by their traffic
manager.
This evening there was conference
among the railroad officials and number
of the members of the Commercial Asso-
citation, and matters pertaining to the road
were discussed. The meeting was secret.

ROPELESSLY INSANE.
Mrs. Sarah Atthea RilI- Sharon Terry
Cannot Recover.

MRS. SQTQh AUncH HtlE- -Sh0TOn-I6fTy
Cannot Recover.
STOCKTON, CAL, May Sarah Althea
Hill-Sharon-Terry is now hopelessly in
sane. For a time it was believed that
perfect quiet and freedom from all dis
turbing influences would bring back her
i'm paired reason, but from her condition
recently it is very evident that this can
never be done. She has now become vio-
lent and has to be kept in close confine-
ment.
Several days ago it became apparent that
she was getting worse rapidly, and one
day this week she attacked her attendant.
During the struggle that ensued she nearly
bit the finger off the attendant. Luckily,
the laceration was treated Immediately
and blood poisoning did not ensue. She
is guarded now more closely than ever.
Mrs. Terry's reason has completely fed,
and she only broods over her troubles, but
many of her past experiences she does not
remember.
