90 1T is COMING UP TODAY r.
The Mayor and Police Commissioners in
Court

A proceeding of more than the ordin-
ary legal character is set to come up
for trial before Superior Judge Waldo NJ
York today. The proceedings, while
nominally a suit for $1,000 damages
claimed by one Blanche Laborde against
Frank H. Shafer is in reality intended
to prove a charge of conspiracy by the
Laborde woman against the mayor, the
board of police commissioners as an OF .
fetal body, and Chief Glass, who, with
Shafer. the defendant in the case, are
alleged to have used their official posi-
tions to discriminate against the La
borde person in her operations down on
Alameda street.
The alleged facts have been several
times rehashed in the public prints and
out and the claim has been made
that the Laborde woman was
one of the lessees of property from
Shafer in the tabooed district. She in
sists that the city authorities froze her
out, using the police force for the pur =
pose, simply so that others more favored
than herself by the powers that be, al
though equally guilty, might have less
opposition.
y y
will, in their opening statement to the
jury today, again reiterate all of the nu-
merous rumors pertaining to "The
Trust in Sin," which have been pub
lished so repeatedly in the last year and
alleged time and again. They intend -
prove that Theodore Bauer has been the
recipient of official favors which no one
else could secure.
The woman Laborde has subpenaed
as witnesses Mayor RAIDER, Chief of Pu-
lice Glass, Police Commissioners Long
Wirsching, Barham and Cook, none uf
whom appeared to be very much con-
cerned over what are alleged in some
quarters, will prove sensational revela-
tions, when yesterday seen. Several po-
lice officers are also to be summoned in
the attempts which are to be made TO
prove the specifications in the complaint
Shafers attorney in the case is to be

CALIFORNIA WEATHER
Conditions Prevailing Throughout California.
The Grain Yield Good

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 10.-The following
synopsis of the weather for the week end
ing August 10 is issued by the State Agri-
cultural society in cooperation with the
United States climate and crop service,
James A. Barwick section director:
The average temperature for the week
was as follows for the weather bureau sta
tions named:
Eureka. 60: Fresno, 49, Los Angeles. 6S;
Red Bluff rs; Sacramento, 70; San Fran
cisco, IS; San Diego, 6S.
AS compared with the normal tempera-
lures there were heat deficiencies at Fres-
no, Los Angeles and Red Bluff of degrees;
Sacramento San Francisco and San Diego.
2 degrees, while Eureka has an excess of
heat over normal of degrees. There was
no rainfall, which is the normal condition
for the entire state at this season of the
year.
Fruit is fast ripening and is being shipped,
canned and dried. The shipments during
the week were larger than at any other time
during this season.
Grain harvest is about over, and gen.
orally speaking most excellent reports are
reported; that is, the yield averages well,
as compared with other years. The cool
and pleasant weather has been good for
workers in the vineyards and orchards. as
well as the harvest fields. There is still
unusually heavy dew reported from the
wheat and fruit districts of the state, which
is detrimental to grain threshing early in
the mornings. and is injurious to fruit dry
ing, as it discolors and thereby detracts
from it's selling qualities.
Hop picking will begin in a few days, but
as pri, es are very low there will not be a
full crop picked.
Highest temperature reported was 101 at
Lime Kiln, Tulare county, and the lowest
AZ, at Yreka, Siskiyou county.

when a Mrs. Charles Fitzsimmons called
upon him and asked for assistance in secur-
ing the custody of her two children who,
she said, were held by her mother-in-law,
who refused to give them up.
Her husband, Charles FitZsimmons Is
prospector in Inyo county, who is doing
well. although he started out several
months ago nearly broke. He left his
children to be cared for by his mother. who
resides on Philadelphia street, while his
wife went to work to support herself until
her husband recuperated his finances.
A few days ago Fitzsimmons wrote to
his wife to bring the children and come to
him. but when she asked for her babes the
mother-in-law refused to give them mp
until $40 board had been paid for them
The money was sent down Immediately
and Fitzsmmons ordered his mother to
give up his children to his wife. Even after
being paid the money the mother-in-law
was obdurate and refused to let them go,
when the mother sought the services of u
lawyer.
The attorney sought Chief Glass. who
sent an officer along to see that there was
no trouble. After a long confab the old
lady decided to give up the children one
of whom is with her. the other stopping
with friends on Catalina island, and late
in the afternoon the mother secured one
of her offspring and will today bring the
other back from Catalina island then pro-
ceed to join her husband Meantime the
mother-in- law retains the 500.

ASKING QUESTIONS
The "WorId" Addresses Four Column Let.
ter to Bryan


NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-The New York
World will print tomorrow a four COL
umn "open letter to Mr.. Bryan" asking
him to define in his speech of accept
ance his position on several planks in
the Chicago platform. 1t says that up
on many grounds the World stands with
Mr.. Bryan, instancing the income tax,
opposition to tariff changes, hostility
to trusts and monopolies and the bond
issues in time of peace without explicit
authority from congress 1t denounces
the Chicago planks in regard to the su-
preme court and condemnation of Pres
ident Cleveland for putting down the
riot at Chicago. 1t then antagonizes
sharply the demand of free coinage, and
tells MIR. Bryan this is the main reason
for the disruption of the party.
The World says that if Mr.. Bryan can
convince the undecided Democrats that
it is safe for them to vote their partys
ticket, the World will comply with Mr..
Bryan's invitation to support him, not
because sit is blind to the grave faults
of the platform on which he stands" ;"
but "in spite of it, and regretting it with
undiminished and Interchangeable con-
tempt"

GRANT ON SILVER COINAGE
Statements Made in "Coin" Are FIatIy
COntradicted
All His Public and Private Statements
Aimed to Secure Stable Currency
to the Country

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 10--In
reply to letter from Attorney
w. A. Ketcham of Indiana, Fred d.
Grant has written as follows, under date
of New York, August 7th:
My Dear Sir: Acknowledging receipt
of your communication of August 4th
in which you ask me as to the truth of a
statement which is and has been going
the rounds for years to the effect that
my father, General Grant at one time
said that he did not know when he sign
ed the coinage act Of 1873 that the silver
dollar was dropped from the coinage
and that if he had known the fact he
would have vetoed the bill, l hasten in
reply to say that 1 frequently talked
with my father upon the question of
standard currency and that never
heard him intimate any such sentiment
as is credited to him above. l am in re-
ceipt almost daily of letters similar to
yours, induiring as to whether my
father made the statement attributed
to him in the little book entitled Coin.
II can only say that he never intimated
such statement to me. In all his con-
versations with me he seemed to take the
ground that it was great misfortune to
any country to have, as the basis for
their circulating medium, any metal that
lad the least element of uncertainty
about it, and that the workmen, when
they collected their wages al the end of
the week, should be absolutely certain
that there would be no question as to the
value of the currency with which they
had to supply their needs From the
time he was i.augurated president until
the resumption of specie payment act
was passed. all lis public announcements
and, so far as l know, all his private
statements We're aimed to secure a sta
BILE currency to the people of the United
States.
'"The coinage act Of 1873 does not elm
mate the silver dollar from the coinage
In fact, the United States has coined
since then more silver dollars than had
been coined during the entire period Of
our national existence before, and most
of these coins We're made during his
lifetime. 1t is, therefore, not probable
that Gen. Grant ever said that he would
have vetoed the act of 1871 if he had
known that the silver dollar would be
dropped from the coinage, and L would
not believe any one who said that he
heard my father make such a remark"

Holes
The Wrecked Steamer ST. Paul Is Beyond
Help, but Some of the Cargo
viii Be Saved

MONTERREY, Aug. 10.-The stranded
steamer st. Paul is still held firmly by the
rocks and there are no immediate signs of
her breaking up. All day the crew has
been busy transferring the freight from
her hold to that of the freight steamer
Santa Cruz, which arrived this morning.
The divers have sounded the hull and to-
night state that the boat is so firmly
jammed on the rocks that only a miracle
can save her. The hull is full of holes al
the places in contact with the rocks. From
the statement of the divers it is believed
that the boat came ashore at full speed.
The water in the hold is only six or seven
feet deep but rises and lowers with the
tide, showing the holes are quite large in
the bottom. The engine room has not vet
been disturbed. though there is some little
water In the boiler room, not enough, how
ever, to be a hindrance.
Thousands of visitors viewed the wreck
today. The inhabitants and fishermen
are anxiously waiting developments. as
they expect to gather in a great deal of sal
wage should the boat go to pieces.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Aug. 10. - Hun
dreds of wheelmen have come to Louis
Vile today, all sweltering. but jolly.
All of the racing men of note are here;
all of the officers of the L. A. w, and
crowds of members, and the seventeenth
annual meet is no longer matter of ex-
pectation. The day was passed quietly,
there being little business of the pleas
ure-seeking variety, though there was
enough of the business of getting ready
and preparing for the events that are
to come. The information bureaus have
been more than busy, and these, with the
registration headquarters and Steward
Maxwells punch bowl, are the centers of
attraction.
1t was too hot for any long runs, and
aside from the headquarters, Mountain
Ferry park, with its shades and breezes,
was the center of attraction for the Wis
iting wheelmen. The heat interfered
with the training work. The trials were
watched all day by the crowds. All the
cracks were out, and some credtable
work was done.
While the meet began today it will
not be until Wednesday that the really
part VI tlc ploSI dili GUM
mences. Then the races begin and the
annual meeting of the Kentucky divls-
ion of the league will be held.
These are the two important features
of the week.
The different means of entertainment
that have been provided will be attend
ed by large numbers, but they will be
entertainments, while the other events
will have an interest all over the coun-
try.
A large party Of wheelmen started for
the track at o'clock this afternoon,
when the first run of the meet was given.
The run was under the leadership of
the meeting committees Tonight a
smoker was held at the track. 1t was
stag" affair, and was in the nature of
a reunion of old members of the league,
where preparations were made for the
enjoyment of the events of the week.
The grounds were crowded all the
evening. The oldtimers are familiar
| with the pleasures to be enjoyed at
Fountain Ferry. To the newcomers the
wheelman's heaven was a revelation.
