How They Love Ust

Englishmen admire Americans; they
have for many years invested much of
their saving in American enterprises.
They always listen with incredulity when
they hear how the Yankee dislikes
the Britisher. They do not under
stand this feeling. They have only
met the Travelled American; they do not
know the native Chicagoan, the ignorant
Westerners or the spiteful Southerners.
Yet these exist, and they form the major
to a situation that would otherwise be
simply grotesque. England would never
go to war over Venezuela. But the Ameri-
can rabble may force us to defend our
selves, in which case it will possibly he
bad for the American rabble. They have
little enough money now-they will have
less when we have finished with them

SAN JOSE, CAL, Jan. 23.-Menzo Clin-
ton, the absconding contractor who left
this city five weeks ago with some $4,000
belonging to a number of sub-contractors,
and who was arrested in San Francisco
last evening by Sheriff Lyndon on charge
of ny-embezzlement, was brought back
10 this city this NOR ming and lodged II
the County Jail.
1t seems likely that Clinton viii make a
satisfactory settlement with his bonds
men, as it is not believed he could be con-
vieted of embezzlement, as in appropri-
atiDg the money to his own use it was
simply a breach of trust.
Clinton said to-day that he was thor
oughly repentant and was on his way TO
San Jose 10 settle UP when arrested.
When arrested Clinton had $2259 in his
possession, which was taken charge of by
Sheriff Lyndon. At noon to-day }. ].
Cherrie, one OF Chnton's bondsmen, began
an attachment suit against Clinton, and
the money IN the Sheriff. hands was lev
led upon. He alleges IN his complaint
that the defendant became indebted TO his
firm in the sum of S266S, the amount of
their liability on the bond of David Jacks,
the owner OF the building which Clinton
was erecting when he left. An attachment
was served on the $2259 in the hands OF the
Sheriff.
W. A. Bowden, attorney for Clinton,
said this afternoon that he had practically
arranged a settlement that was satisfactory
10 all. He said Clinton ordered the Sheriff
10 pay $2259 to Cherrie & Co., his bonds
men, and when this was done Mr.. Cherrie
would have the complaint dismissed.
Late yesterday afternoon Clinton was
examined before Justice Gass on the charge
OF felony embeZZlement.
]. J. Cherry, who swore to the complaint
which caused warrant to be issued for
CIinton's arrest on the charge OF embezzle-
ment, was the only witness examined. He
testified as to his connection with the ac-
cused and TO the payment of $500 on the
contract by Clayton & Co. for David Jacks,
which should have been applied to the
payment of sub-contractors and fol
material, but stated that Clinton had en-
bezzled no money from him. After hear
ing this testimony it was apparent that
there was no evidence to convict on the
charge, and the District Attorney moved
that the complaint be dismissed, which
was granted by the Justice.
