HIS BOAT
New Craft to Astonish
Ali Hands.
Unique Model-Dimension
Cuarantee-Bott
Bond.

Cyrus Edison of this city is cousin
of the famous wizard OF Menlo park
and possesses not little of the inven
tive genius and mechanical skill of |
his remarkable relative.
Cyrus Eedison is soon to launch here
a small boat that will have power ar
rangement differing from anything
af1oat in the Pacific. There will be
two side wheels These will be moved
by pedals like bicycle has, but hands
will be used instead of the strong foot
for which John Manoa has reputa-
ton. The gear will be somewhere be-
| tween 700 and 900 The front SprOcket
| in the engine room will be the diameter
| of a cheese with as many teeth as
shark The rear sprocket Will be the
size of matsu, full of holes like pO-
rous plaster and with as many teeth as
Roach, the barber.
The finishing touches are being put
on this boat at the private shipbuildlng
yards of Mr.. Edison near the lWllel
slaughter pens. She will be painted
with blood. When the launching takes
place on Saturday afternoon next a
bottle of red ink will be broken over
the bow by the belle of Iwilei. Mr.
Edison is a friend of the Hagey cure
and does not tolerate that which woulo
induce the picturesque yet troublesome

Many Louisiana planters dumped mo-

CUNNING COONEY
Scenes Rather to Have Overreached
Himself-Wholesale Forgery.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 29.-District
Attorney Barnes introduced a sensa-
tional element into the testimony at the
preliminary examination of ex-Notary
Public Cooney today. Cooney is charged
with perjury in having sworn that the
late James G. Fair acknowledged be-
fore him deeds to half a million dollary
worth of property claimed by Mrs Net
tie r. Craven, the alleged contract wife
of the dead millionaire. The prosecu-
ton introduced testimony showing that
the blank forms on which the acknowl-
edgment was made was not printed un-
til 1886. while the document is dated
1894. Today the district attorney
charged that Cooney had printed on
Saturday 2000 fac SMILES of the blank
forms in question. 1t is charged that,
being unable to secure the necessary
type, the forms were printed from d
zincograph. The intention, the district
attorney stated. was to distribute these
forms about town and then introduce
witnesses who would swear that they
had been in their possession for many
years. James Fl. Barry. printer, tes-
t.fied that c. j. Stillwell, a private de-
tective in Cooney's employ, had engaged
him to do the printing. In connection
with the Cooney case. Chef of Detective
Lees has made the statement that all
of the documents introduced in the Fair
Will case by the opponents of the trust
will are forgeries. The pencil will and

FOURTEEN YEARS
William Robles Gets a Long Sentence
for Perjury

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29.-Winiam
Robes was today sentenced by Judge
Wallace to fourteen years inSan Quentin
for perjury. The crime of Robles was
committed under unusual circum-
stances, in that his perjury was commit
ted to save another from the peniten-
tiary.
Some months ago a woman named
Aggie Abbott was convicted of grand
larceny for stealing a gold watch from
the pocket of John Ellis. a countryman.
At that time Robles was a prisoner in
the county Jail charged with vagrancy.
To save the Abbott woman Robles made
an affidavit in which he swore that he
stole Ellis watch and that the woman
then under conviction was innocent of
any connection with the crime.
The attorney for the woman presented
Robes affidavit to Judge Bahrs in SUD-
port of motion for new trial Sur
prised at the contents of the affidavit
Judge Bahrs decideGIlpon an investisa-
tion. which resulted in his denial of the
motion and sentenced the woman TO a
term in the penitentiary, Robles being
ordered into custody for perjury and was
subsequently, indicted by the grand

NOT OPEN TO REVIEW

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 29.-The su-
preme court holds that a superior judge
can pass upon his qualifications to hear
an action and that his decision is not
subject to review.
John N. Hudner, of the law firm Of
Briggs & Hudner of Hollister is married
to q niece of Superior Judge Bree. The
plaintiff in an action claimed the judge
was disqualified because Hudner was
connected with the case. This point was
contested by the defendants, who filed
affidavits that they had not employed
Hudner and that they We're released from
all claims for attorneys services Not
withstanding this, upon the showing that
Hudner had conferred with his partner,
Briggs, during the progress of the trial.
the Judge ruled he was disqualified and
ordered the trial changed to Santa Clara
county. The defendants appealed In
affirming the judgment the supreme
court says: Whether Mr.. Hudner was
an attorney of the defendants was to be
determined by Judge Bree from the mat
ters presented go him at the hearing Of

A Contest Decided-Thurston Declines

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-Elections
committee No. today decided the con-
tested election case of Alexis Benoit
Populist, against c. j. Boatner, from
the Fifth district of Louisiana. in favor
of Mr.. Boatner, the sitting member.
Senator Davis today gave notice of an
amendment to the sundry civil appro-
priation bill appropriating S150000 for
surveys and examinations of deep water
ways between the Great Lakes and the
Atlantic in accordance with the plans
indicated by the deep water ways COM
mission recently transmitted to con-
gress.
Referring to the action of the Nebras-
ka legislature instructing him to vote
for free coinage of silver, Senator Thurs
ton today said
THE present Nebraska legislature
does not represent the party that elected
me to the senate When any of the
legislators show a disposition to come to
my proposition I will consider the mat
ter. We are now as far apart as the
poles and there is no apparent prospect
of agreement.
The supporters OF the railroad pooling
bill in the house committee on COM
merce have concluded that there is no
chance of passing the bill in this con-
gress. There was brief discussion of the
subject at the meeting of the committee
today the attention of the members be-
ing called to it by Representative Pat
terson of Texas. 1t was the consensus
of opinion that the unfriendly attitude
of the senate toward the measure made
it useless for the house to give any time
to it. and there was an informal agree
ment to let the bill rest on the calendar.

IN THE HOUSE.
Acrimonious Debate Causes Big Guns
10 Go Off.
til Monday

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-The house
today witnessed another exciting and
somewhat sensational episode. At the
end of an acrimonious debate ON the
conference report on the bill to confer
the lia'hts and franchises of the Atlantic
and Itacific railroad on the purchasers
under the mortgage foreclosure, Mr..
Powe Us of Vermont and Mr.. Barrett of
Massachusetts exchanged broadsides
Mr. Powers defended, the conference re-
port gainst the assaults of a half score
of me nbers, led. by Mr.. Barrett The
latter was particularly severe in his
criticisms, charging that a stock-jobbing
operation was behind the measure. This
drew from Mr.. Powers a reply in which
he charged that Boston was the home of
railroad wreckers, and with keen satire
ridiculed the Massachusetts member
and continued that he was interested"
in his opposition. Mr.. Barrett in re-
spon6ing not only denied absolutely any
interest in the bill, but scored Mr. Pow
ers. who. he said. was on the supreme
bench of Vermont when the Central
railroad of that state was wrecked"
under it's decree. He was not called to
order but Mr.. Grout of Vermont twice
protested against the attack on the Ju-
dietary of his state. The report was re-
jected by an overwhelming majority-11
to 143-and the conferees We're instruct
ed to insist on the house amendments.
Just before adjournment, Mr.. Hardy of
Indiana, who was refused unanimous
consent to continue a political speech he
was making. declared he would retaliate
by objecting to every request lor unan-
imous consent for the remainder of the

opposition to the trend of medical testi-

of suicide while the deceased was in his
room in the Baldwin hotel delirious from
excessive drink. Before his death Nord-
