THE WONG CHEZ CASE.
Promises to Develop Some Unique and
Picturesque Lying.

The trial Of Chew Wing Cow, who.
with Gong on Chong, is charged with
the murder in Chinatown Of the aristo-
cratic Wong Wing Chez on July 9th,
ought to have come to trial yesterday in
department one.
But 1t didn't. There are too many
attorneys engaged in this case for any
legal objection, or other technically, to
be overlooked.
Deputy District Attorney McComas
is being assisted in the prosecution Of the
case by Attorneys G. p. Phibbs and H.
H. Appel, who have been employed by
the friends of the deceased Chinaman.
Messrs. Davis & Rush, with Attorney r.
A. Ling, will conduct the defense.
Upon the case being called defending
counsel moved for a continuance on the
ground that two very material Witness
es-Mr. and Mrs. w. r. Haizlip-had
not been found. An affidavit made by
George E. Gard was filed going to show
that he had knowledge that the witness
cs referred to were in the vicinity Of
Stockton, and that he had telegraphed
to the sheriff of San Joaquin county to
locate their whereabouts, and on the
23d he, the aff1ant. had sent a subpoena
requiring the presence of the two named
witnesses to the sheriff. '~
Mr.. Davis, in making his motion, stated
Lnat MT. HalZlp nd0 Deen present al
the shooting, and having seen Chew
Wing Cow, had said he was not the man
who fired the fatal shot.
The showing made by the defense
appeared fairly strong until the other
side was heard from. George P. Phibbs,
of prosecuting counsel. presented an
affidavit showing that Private Detect
i've Mckenzie took HaiZlip to the coun-
ty jail to Identify big Jim," or Chew
Wing Cow, and he then stated that he
was the man who fred the shot. Nc
Kenzie then told Mr.. Haizlip that he
wouldn't be needed by the defense.
That affidavit seemed a knock out for
the defense. but Mr.. Davis came to the
scratch smiling and offered a statement
of Mr. Haiziip in support of his pre-
vious affidavit. The court would not
receive 1t as an affidavit, but none the
less the facts contained in 1t were aired.
Mr.. Haizlip stated that he got good
look at the man who did the shooting
and he was not quite SO tall as big
Jim," and was heavier built. He had
seen big Jim" number of times pre-
vious to the shooting. and he is GER
tain he Is not the man who fired the
shot that killed Wong Wing Chez.
In the light Of these opposing state
ments. Judge Smith continued the case
until Mondey next.

Important Action Taken by the
Methodist Conference
A SIGNAL VICTORY RECORDED
The Proposition Favored by Vote Of
~ to "A
Another Important Move Taken by the
Conference in the Matter Of Lay.
Delegates. peg

The attendance at yesterdays session
Of the Southern California Methodist
Episcopal conference, in Simpson tab
ernacle, was greatly increased, there be-
ing large number of visiting clergy
men from other states and ter-itoiies on
the Pacific slope.
The great and absorbing question of
the day was that Of the admission Of
women as lay representatives to the
general conference of the denomination,
and a signal victory was recorded in
favor Of the proposition, by a vote OF
70 to "a. In this the conference sustained
and Endorsed the action of the last gen.
eral conference at Cleveland, Ohio, by
the necessary three-fourths majority.
This question, which has been fruit
full source Of discussion for many years
in the church, is now in fair way to be
settled forever. This is the second Cali
fornia conference this year which has
sustained the measure. By decisive
vote, the Northern California confer
ence, at Pacific Grove. only two weeks
ago, voted an Endorsement Of the propo-
sition.
The general conference, which dis
cussed this question with much heat at
Cleveland. for several days, decided in
favor of the amendment, with the pro-
vision that the state conferences, by
three-fourths vote, declare in favor
Of it. The question was, therefore, in
the nature of unfinished business before
the local body yesterday.
There was no discussion of the ques-
ton, and the vote was at once called for,
and resulted as indicated.
Another matter Of almost equal Inn
portance was passed upon by the con-
ference. It was that of admitting lay
delegates to the general conference in
equal numbers with the clergy. This
measure was defeated on the basis of q
three-fourths vote, there being n in IA
vor and 81 against 1t. This vote was
also taken in the absence of any discus
sion.
In the opinion of many leading men,
bers Of the conference, this proposition
will soon become settled principle of
the church.
1t will thus be seen that the Methodist
church is slowly but surely becoming
democratic body.
After these measures had been dis
posed of, several young men were cleo
ted to the ministry.
In the afternoon the lady members
held a business session of considerable
Importance. The work Of the confer
ence, under the judicious reins of Bish-
op Foss, Is progressing with great har-
mOny and facility

ing a prisoner to escape from custody.

past twenty years has been within twelve
miles OF the new camp, and he is well &C.
auainted with every foot Of the ground
thereabouts from having ridden over it
numberless times after cattle His faith in
the new camp is great and he says the pres.
emit mail route between here and Milford
could be shortened nearly Is miles by com
ing via the new camp through Spring and
Eagle Valleys leaving Desert Springs to
the south. By such route the distance
from Milford to Panaoa would be mile OF
two shorter than the one now followed.
Such being the case it should receive prop.
er consideration when mail facilities fol
State Line District are sought, which will
shortly occur, judging from the number OF
people going in there aud the promising re-
ports of the place.
