MODESTO, Call, Feb. 2S.-A band Of
between $50 and 300 thoroughbred horses
are dying of starvation at the ranch of ].
B. Canty, twelve miles south of Modesto.
The animals are the property of Dan Nc
Carty, known to turfmen of the United
States as "White-hat" McCarty.
McCarty and Canty entered into an
agreement by which Canty was to pasture
the stock and be paid monthly in advance.
The first months payment was made, but
no more. Notice was served by Canty,
then he refused to feed the stock without
pay, leaving the horses in barren pas
ture. About fifty have starved to death
and still McCarty fails to pay. Canty cam
not liberate the animals for fear of dam
age suit and cannot claim them for their
feed.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 28.-The call
by the labor councils for a mass-m meeting
to be held in this city on the night of
February Z to agitate the checking of the
inroads of japanese and Chinese into all
classes of industries is causing consider
able interest and comment. The crusade
is directed principally against the Japa-
nese, who have insidiously and persever-
ingly pushed their way into many
branches of trade and employment here.
Their method has been to usurp the
places OF white men at the restaurants by
offering to work for less wages and by
slipping in during the periodic labor dis
agreements between employer and en-
ployed. When the white employer has
become discouraged with small profits or
desires change they have stood ready to
BUY him out and thus secure an estab-
llshed business with white patrons, until
at present they own thirty-five restaurants
in the city where fair meals are served for
10 cents. They work largely on the CO.
operative plan, which seems to be q COM
plete success.
The alarm at their encroachment is be-
ginning to be felt outside of labor circles,
where the brown men are doing the great
est harm, and the movement inaugurated
by the labor councils is intended to create
general public sentiment. At some of
the restaurants they have secured liquor
licenses, and it is believed they will shortly
reach Tor the saloon business. They seem
to easily crowd out any white opposition
by their cheap methods, and the laboring
classes feel that they must make the fight
OF their lives for self-preservation.

FRESH0'S RABBIT DRIVE.
An Preparations for the humiliation of the
Nneyardists' Little Enemies Are
comDieted

FRESNO, Cal, Feb. 28.-The final pre-
paratlons for the great rabbit drive and
slaughter tomorrow have been made.
Field Marshal Muller has completed his
list of appointments of aids and lieuten-
ants. This list will comprise about thirty
persons on horseback, among whom are
Butler B. Minor, j. NJ. Collier. Judge
Crichton, Juage Short, Fulton T. Berry,
NJ. Page Minor, Harry w. Skinner, D.
Clarence Minor, B. r. Porter, George P.
ThortOn, A. L. Hobbs, r. NJ. Thompson
and w. j. Dickey.
The slaughter-corraI is located east of
McMullen station on the Tracy division of
the Southern Pacific Railroad. In the
early morning the colonists of Caruthers
and Easton will start the rabbits from their
localities toward the line of march This
main army of rushers will be arranged in
crescent shape, with the points on
straight line with the two strings of fenc-
ing. The great mass of humanity will
then move to the westward, the center
aiming directly for the corral. AS the line
moves forward it will gradually contract,
so that by the time the fence-lines are
reached the crowd will be from four to six
deep. The line, at the time of forming
will be about five miles in length.
Many visitors are in Fresno to see the
slaughter, and the town will be almost de-
populated tomorrow when the drive be-
gins.

IN THE SAN JOSE COURTS
Decision Involving the Status of
Assigned Claims From
InSolVentS.
Arrest of Man Who Failed to Keen
Promise to Become
Benedict.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Feb. 2s.-A decision of
more than usual interest was rendered by
Judge Lorigan this morning for the plain
tiff in the suit of Heine Schmidt against
Hill & Yard to recover SALT 81 on an
assigned claim from P. Bonte, wholesale
photographer of New York. Two years
ago Hill & Yard went through insolvency
and were discharged of their debts. Sub
sequently the suit decided to- day was COM
menced.
The defendants contended that the claim
OF Schmidt was barred by the statute of
limitations and that it was, further, not to
be considered, as the firm of Hill g. Yard
had been discharged of their debts.
Judge Lorigan held that, although there
was no absolute acknowledgment of the
debt in correspondence between Bonte and
Hill u Yard, there was an expressed ad-
mission and promise to pay the bill, and
he ordered that Judgment be given in full
for the plaintiff. AS to the insolvency
proceedings, the court held that the in
soivency laws of California had no opera
ton in New York, and a discharge of the
defendants from their liability of indebt
ness could not affect the plaintiffs claim
A stay of execution was granted the
defendants.

NetU Methodist Church Witt BE Dedicated
the sabbath.
SANTA MONICA, CAL, Feb. 28.-Santa
Monicans in particular and Methodists in
general all over Southern California are
proud of the new house of worship of that
denomination, which will be dedicated on
Sunday. The building is the gift of a
wealthy gentleman, who insists that his
name be withheld from the public. Its
construction cost nearly $4,000, and the
church is entirel V free from debt.
The building is situated on the corner OF
Arizona avenue and Fourth street, with
entrances through two towers eighty-tive
feet in height. one on each street.
1t is 66x43 feet in dimensions, with a
main audience room 53x43 and two rooms
adjoining, to be used for the infant class
and Epworth League respectively, and
which can be opened into the main audi
ence room giving it a capacity for seating
1000 worshipers. The building is lighted
by electricity throug ghout, and the win
dows are fitted with artistic cathedral
glass.
There are few larger houses of worship
in the south, but none that, for beauty of
exterior and interior, symmetry of proper
tons, harmony of coloring and conven-
fence for the purposes intended. are su-
periOr.

ON THE YUKON
Seattle Adventures Believed to
Have Lost Their Lives in
a Storm.
Ignored a Warning by Indians to
Turn Back to a Place of
Shelter.

NANAIMO, B. c., Feb. 2S.-L. S. Hodge,
newspaper man, formerly of Seattle, and
a companion, white man whose name is
not known, are undoubtedly among the
number of adventu seekers for gold in
the great Yukon country who will never
return. party of Indians arrived in
Juneau this morning tell of the probable
death of the pair in terrific snowstorm.
Hodge and his com panion left Juneau u
about the last of Decem Der for Circle City
via the Takou route and through Wilson
Pass. They started in company with
James Jackson and two other natives.
Jackson is the mal-carrier for the Alaska
Commercial Company. He and his com
panlons were travelling with sleds drawn
by dogs, while Hodge and his companion
were afoot and drawing their own seds.
After leaving the foot of Lake lie Beree
the white men, unablo to keep up with the
Indians, were left to shift for themselves.
1t was between Lake LIE Berge and Cas-
star Bar that the bearers of the news last
saw the unfortunate gold-seekers Hodge
and his companion had thrown awav their
supplies, and were endeavoring to find
better trail when the Indians came upon
them. The white men refused to comply
to the urging of the natives to turn back.
The Indians pushed on toward the camp
at the foot of Lake LIE Berge. Shortly
after leaving the adventures terrific
snowstorm came on. The Indians them
selves narrowly escaped with their lives
into the camp. As neither Hodge nor his
companion has since been heard from
there can be but little doubt as to their
fate.

home in this city at about l o'clock this
morning of dropsy, after lingering i'll
ness of nearly two years.
The deceased was one of the oldest ma
tive sons, having been born in this county
on June q, 1887. He was representative
of distinguished families, being the son of
Captain William G. Dana and Josefa Ca
rillo de Dana, who was daugh ter OF Don
Carlos Antonio Garlic, one of the Mexican
Governors of California. Captain Dana
was one of the celebrated Dana family of
Boston, a well-known member of which
was Richard II. Dana, the author.
Captain Dana, as a trader, became we'll
acquainted with the western coast, and in
1925 he located in Santa Barbara, being
the first English-speaking person to land
there. After the captains marriage in
1923 he became naturalized as citizen of
the Mexican republic, and in 1885 obtained
grant of the Nipomo rancho lin San
Luis Obispo County,, containing $4,000
acres. The Dana family still holds pos
session of large portion of this estate.
Charles W. Dana was educated with
especial care, attending schools in Mexico
and in the Eastern States. He was fine
scholar, extensively read, and had COM
prehensive knowledge of law. He was a
member of the Republican party from the
time of it's organization in this State and
held important offices for a period of
twenty three years. In 1859 he was
chosen clerk of the Board of Trustees of
this City. In 1861 he was elected mem Der
of the Assembly to represent the counties
of San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara,
the latter then including Ventura County.
In the succeeding election Santa Barbara
was accorded the Assemblyman, and Dana
was elected Clerk of this county by large
ma aiority. From that time, 1868, to 1875
he was regularly elected to the office. In
1875 he was defeated by Nathan King, but
on Kings death in 1885, Dana was ap-
pointed to the Office, and subsequently
held the position by virtue of election up
to the time of his sickness in the latter
part of 1895.
In 1881 he was chosen Mayor of San
Luis Obispo, and in 1883 was elected City
Clerk. He served the public faithfully
and we'll, and maintained the respect and
esteem of ali parties. The people had ex-
plicit confidence in him.
Mr.. Dana was once favorablv mentioned
for Clerk of the Supreme Court, and was
in 1882 the Republican nominee for mem
Der of the State Board of Equalization,
but was defeated by Markley. His gener-
osity was unbounded, and his substantial
charities made him beloved by the poor.
In 1866 the deceased was married to Miss
Banding Esquer, daughter of General
Ignacio Esquer, of Monterey County, and
the issue of the union are seven children.
Besides his own immediate family the de-
ceased leaves ten brothers and one sister to
mourn his loss. 1t is only few weeks
since daughter, Miss FideIia, was united
in marriage. to G. Bushnell Hughston, a
nephew of Myron Angel, the historian of
San Luis Obispo County. 1t was not then
thought that Mr.. Dana was so near disso-
luton.
The death of few men will be more
widely lamented in the counties of Mon
terey, Santa Barbara and San Luis Q bispo
than that of Charles w. Dana.

LITTLE PITY
FOR DUNRAVEN,
But the l" Field" Ridicules
the Action of the
Club.
BARS FUTURE RACING.
An Unfortunate Ending of the
Many Mistakes and Mis-.
understandings.
THE EARL NO PHILOSOPHER
Persists in Believing That the Evi.
dence Of His Senses Is
Incontrovertible.

LONDON, Eng, Feb. 2S.-In its issue
tomorrow the Field, which has always
supported Lord Dunraven, will say:
The result of the meeting of the New
York Yacht Club was foregone conclu-
sion, still it cannot be denied that the club
has placed itself in a very ridiculous situa-
ton. 1t has virtually barred for the fu-
ture any protests in international yacht
ing in which the club may be a party. 1t
is an unfortunate ending of a mum Der of
mistakes and misunderstanding
1--WE are certain that such resolution
as the New York Yacht Club passed Thurs
day night would never have been enter
tained by an English club. The only good
feature about the incident is that it will
not be treated very seriously"
The Field will also publish long article
rehearsing the whole dispute, with run
ming comments. The evidence clearly
showed that the necessity for a
committee of inquiry was entirely
due TO the unfortunate blundering
of the clubs executive in dealing with an
ordinary protest by inaction at one time
and uncalled-for action at an other time.
The case will doubtless be regarded in
America as precedent, and the conse-
quent position of any challengers will
simply be to ask no inconvenient ques-
tions and to lodge no protests, but to pro-
vide yacht to be beaten.
The Daily News says: Lord Dunraven
is sportsman and a gentleman, but we
fear that he is not philosopher. He first
refused to accept the verdict of the COM
mittee, with the result that he has been
expelled from the New YORK Yacht Club,
and this because he insists upon believing
that the evidence of his senses is incontro-
vertible.
The Telegraph deplores the misunder.
standing as calculated to arouse inter.
national animosity and stop international
races for long time.
a special meeting of the Yacht Racing
Association has been called for the pur-
pose of considering the action taken by the
New York Yacht Club at its meeting last
evening, in passing the resolution for the
virtual expulsion of Lord Dunraven as an
hon. member of the club.
II chsointment of Lord Dunraven as
lord Lieutenant of Limerick was an
nounced by the Gazette to-day.
NEW YORK, Y, Feb. 2S.-The
resignation OF Lord Dunraven, which has
been expected for some days, but had not
arrived UP to the time of the Earl's ex-
pulsion from the New York Yacht Club
last ni~ht, was received by J. Y. S. Oddie.
secretary of the club, at 7:10 o'clock this

Has Opened Her Eyes but Three
Times Within the Last
Ten Days.
Is RAPIDLY GAINING FLESH.
During Brief Periods of Consciousness
She Eats With a Ravenous
Appetite.

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 2S.-For nearly
thirty days Miss Helen Burnham
of Albina, suburb of this city,
has been indulging in a sound sleep,
awakening only at intervals of three or
four days, when she eats enormous meals
and at once returns to the arms of Nor
pheus. Medical men and scientists are
puzzled over the remarkable case, and, to
add to their dismay, there seems to be no
likelihood that the young lady will be-
come awake "for good'' for some time to
come, if at all
1t appears that it was with great diff
Guilty that Miss Burnham could grasp the
principles of shorthand. Notwithstanding
that in all other studies she was very
bright. This circumstance preyed so
heavily upon her mind that for several
weeks she suffered from insomnia, during
which time she lost twenty pounds in adj
pose tissue. She became quite sick, and
at last DR.. c. S. Weber was called. The
doctor, ascertaining that her trouble was
due to loss OF sleep and appetite, by reason
of mental distur bance because she made
no progress IL her stenographic studies,
ordered her to discontinue the study fer a
time and devote herself to some occupa-
ton that would not tax her mentality.
For a week this advice was followed, yet
produced no beneficial results.
The doctor then resorted to bromide of
potassium to produce much-coveted sleep
for Miss Burnham, and with startling re-
suits. 1t is almost a month since the
first and only dose was given her. The
effect was marvellous, and it is alleged to
be unparalleled in the history of materia
medica. She slept for twenty-four con-
secutive hours, and on the second day
awoke with a ravenous appetite. After
eating an abnormally large meal she again
fell asleep, remaining in a somnolent state
another day, when she again awoke, very
hungry. This continued for two weeks,
and at the expiration of that time the
duration of sleeping periods was increased
to forty-eight hours at stretch; and at
no time did she remain awake longer than
an hour.
| Within the past ten days Miss Burnhan
has awakened three times only, and al
each time ate enough to satisfy the crav.
ings of two Woodworking, hungry men
Since her long sleep commenced she mas
grown quite fat and has remarkably
clear and healthy complexion, with the
exception of mark on her forehead in
the shape of well-formed Maltese cross
! Some of the superstitious friends of the
Burnhams regard that mark as an i'll
omen; but DR.. Weber says it is nothing
| but an eccentric blood mark, which will
vanish in time.

CHICO HEIRS LOSE.

Netc Trial of the Pratt Estate Suit
Granted by Judge Gray.
CHICO, CAL, Feb. 2S.-The motion for
q new trial in the case of F. C. Lusk and
A. H. Crew, trustees, VS.. the heirs of the
late Judge O. c. Pratt, was heard and
granted by Superior Judge Gray to-day.
Some time ago the plaintiffs brought
action TO cause the heirs to be instructed
by the court as to their duties and powers
as trustees, and as to when the annuity to
Mrs. Lizzie Pratt should begin. The court
decided that Mrs. Pratt was entitled to an
annuity, and upon this decision the
trustees moved for new trial, on the
ground that the court had no authority
for making such Judgment.

STOCKTON POLICE ROW.
Excitement Caused by the Removal of
T,po Officers.

Excitement Caused by the Removal of
I,co Officers.
STOCKTON, CAL, Feb. 2S.-The whole
city is discussing tonight the action of
the Police and Fire Commissioners in re-
moving Officer Charles Field and Officer
Gayou from the police force. 1t is claimed
by the friends of the officers that it is a
move of the A. P. A. to GUST all persons
distasteful to the present city administra-
ton. Mayor Baggs and the Commission
ers, on the other hand, affirm that they
are but seeking to increase the efficiency
of the Police and Fire departments and
that no political or religious preferences
will influence the board in whatit consid-
ers its plain duty.
The excitement in the courthouse to-
night when Officer Field was removed on
the charge of changing an entry on the
prison register from drunk to 'lodger"
was intense. The Commissioners, how
ever, are proceeding very carefully, and, it
is said, submit their findings TO an emf
nent attorney before presenting them, in
order not 10 involve the board IN legal
complications. Mayor Baggs is support
ing The board.
