SCHoFIELD's KILLING
Three Persons Arrested Charged With
the Crime

SAN JOSE, Aug 2-Sheriff Lyndon
has arrested Mrs. Sarah Schofeld, Daniel
boucher and Irving Mann, the 17-year-
old son of Mrs. Schofield by her first
marriage, for the murder Of Schofield.
Sheriff Lyndon, District Attorney Her.
rington, Under Sheriff Benson and other
officers went to the ranch early this
morning and passed the day there maxi
ing thorough examination of the prem
ises. No trace of any horse having been
hitched out could be found. 1t was de-
ve!oped that the stories of the three
prisoners do not agree in many details.
During the day the two boys were made
to take rifle and aim at the place where
Schofield was alleged to have been sit
ting when the shot was fired at him on
Friday night. There is a powder mark
on the door. The Mann boy held the
gun SO that it would have powder
marked the door about three inches be-
low where the burns are. butcher held
the gun so that it would fit exactly with
the marks. 1t was also found that if
Mrs. Schofield opened the door, as she
says she did when the shot was fired, she
would have been within an arms length
Of the man who fired the gun The
doors are so located that it would have
been impossible for her to have been at
greater distance. She says she never
saw the man. The moon was shining
brightly and there was an unobstructed
view. The three prisoners were arrest
ed about $50 o'clock this afternoon. They
took the matter coolly and had nothing
to say. butcher is evidently nervous.
He is 10 and Irving Mann II. butcher
bears a bad reputation.
The officers have a rifle found in the
house. They believe it had been recent
ly fired. While the officers are cautious
in their statements they say they be-
lieve they have sufficient facts to war;
rant an examination. Schofield's body
is at the morgue here. A formal charge
Of murder has been placed against all
of the parties under arrest.

FELTS DIDN'T FLY
Will Start When the, Weather Is
Favorable

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Aug. s.
William B. Felts did not maze his jump
from Pixies peak today, but it was not
his fault. With the conditions of clouds
and fog, it would have been blindfold
leap to certain destruction.
Felts went up to the summit of the
peak this morning, carrying his i'm
mense aeroplanes with him. Two hours
were required in adjusting the big wings,
but heavy clouds gathered and slight
snow fell at the time and convinced him
that leap from the peak would have
been suicidal.
The leap was postponed, but Felts is
still on the peak tonight. and says he
will reman there until the conditions are
favorable, when he will sail down~.ato
Colorado Springs, twelve miles distant.
Great crowds went up the peak toay
to witness the leap Of the daring aero
naut and field glasses and telescopes
were in great demand. The crowds were
greatly disappointed on account of the
postponement.

A Horsethief Escapes

MODESTO, Aug. S.-Some time dur
ing last night James Phillips, pris-
oner in the county jail under charge of
stealing seventeen horses from farmers
in this county, broke out of jail. One
iron bar of the tank was sawed off, the
door pried open and the iron screen and
bar of he Jail sawed off on the outside
wall. None of the other prisoners in
the jail admit knowing anything of the
Jail break, and the exact time of Phillips
escape is not known. Experts on iron
saving differ as to whether the saving
was done from the inside or the outside,
so it is not known whether the escape
had confederates. Phillips conviction
was considered sure, as he was captured
with two stolen horses.

THE CROP PROSPECTS
BASED ON RETURNS MADE BY
COUNTIES
Corn Will Be Short, But Wheat and
Oats Promise Very Heavy
Yield

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Tl August crop
report Of the Orange Judd Farmer, based
upon county returns from all the princi-
pal agricultural counties of the country,
make the condition of the corn crop on
August |, 1914, against 1874 on July L.
This is below the average for series of
years and it has been lower but once in
recent years, in 1894. The low condition
month ago merely reflected disappoint-
ment at the backward condition of the
plant, but the present figure not only
reflects this continued lateness, but a
further positive damage to the crop.
July was reasonably favorable east of
the Mississippi river and the condition
i'm Ohio, Indiana and Illinois advanced
to point where a moderate crop is in
barely held its own, while in Nebraska
there was slight falling Off The Sc
we're decline of the month was in Kan
sas, where there was drop of seventeen
points. in Texas, drop OF twenty points,
and in Arkansas of fifteen points. If the
present growth of the crop was normal
the present report might be taken as in
dicating a crop between 1,S00 000, 900 and
100000, 600 bushels. but in seasons like
the present the final rate of yield is apt
to be less than that indicated by con-
ditional reports and an expectation of
over 100000, 900 bushels must be based
upon entirely favorable weather condi-
tions during the rest of the season.
The average condition of spring wheat
is 87.4, decline during the month of six
points South Dakota declines 10 points,
due to generally unfavorable conditions
during the month; Minnesota six points,
the result of some rust and blight in the
southern counties. The northern part of
the state is still in good promise In
North Dakota the early promise is well
maintained. With favorable weather for
harvesting the crop should exceed $780,
900 bushels.
Threshing shows winter wheat yields
uniformly higher than expected. Re
turns giving neighborhood results so far
as developed makes general average
for the breadth of 1876 bushels Should
the latter threshing confirm these ear
lier yields the crop will equal 362 900
bushels, the largest crop grown with the
the crop is remarkably high and very uni
form.
The last reports on oats condition was
a trife lower than month ago. The
average is 1854, indica ting crop approx
imating 500, 900, 900 bushels of fair quality,
against 717,OOO,OOO last year of inferior
quality.
THE PEACH CROP
CHAMBERSBURG, Pa, August s.
The Blue mountain peach belt of South
ern Pennsylvania and Western Mary
land is the only part of the country that
will have more than 20 to 25 per cent Of
a crop this year. According to the
views of Col. James r. Gilmore, Of
Chambersburg, who has return from a
tour of the peach states. the shortage
is especially great in Wisconsin, Ohio,
Delaware and the eastern shore in
Maryland.

DIsORDERLY IN A CEMETERY.
C. l.. Little Arrested for AssauIting
BOnaventure's superintendent.

C. L. Little, night clerk at the Screven
house, besides wearing a number of
bruises, is under arrest for assault and
battery and for breach of the peace.
Little's arrest was the result of an en-
counter with Supt. Fennell of Bonaventure
cemetery. Little and friend and a cou-
pie of women were in the cemetery late
Thursday afternoon. The men had been
drinking. Supt. Fennell was notified that
they were not conducting themselves prop
erly, and, as ne rode into the cemetery on
his horse, he met the party a short dis
tance from the gate They had their hands
full of japoncas. In answer to the super
intendent's inquiry about gathering the
flowers IN the cemetery Little became
abusive, and Supt. Fennell seized him by
the collar A struggle took place. In
which both men were considerably bruis-
ed. Mr.. Fennell said Little had a
knife and attempted to stab
him. While the two were clinched, Little's
companion took a hand and pulled Mr..
Fennell off from Little, who then ran,
leaving his hat.
Mr.. Fennell did not know the parties,
but traced Little by the initials in his hat.
He reported the matter to the cemetery
officials yesterday morning. The case was
turned over to Solicitor General Osborne
and later in the day Little was arrested
for assault and battery and for breach of
the peace on warrants sworn out before
Justice Naughtin. He gave bond and was
released. Neither of Little's companions
have yet been arrested.
Little denies that he gathered any how-
ers in the cemetery. He said that he had
some flowers on his coat when he met the
superintendent, whom he did not know,
but that they were given him by his COM
panion. He claimed the assault was made
on him by man on horseback.
The cemetery officials propose to enforce
the law against tresspassers on the ceme-
terry property. The gathering of flowers
from the lots is a punishable offense and
violators of the law will be vigorously
prosecuted.

DEBTS OF THE PACIFIC ROADS.
The House DevOtes the Day to the
Refunding Bill,

Washington, Jan. S.-The second days
discussion of the Pacific railroad refund
ing bill of the House of Representatives
developed much more interest, from a
popular point of view.
Mr.. johnson, rep, of California, in the
course of speech supporting the bill,
alluded to Mr.. w. R. Hearst of the San
Francisco Examiner and New York Jour
nal in most vituperative terms. He was
answered by Mr.. Cooper, rep, of Wiscon-
sin, who characterized the incident as
the most disgraceful he had ever known
in the history of the congress.
The bill was advocated by Messrs. Pat
terson, dem, of Tennessee and Hepburn,
rep, of Iowa, and antagonized by Messrs.
Harrison, DEM, of Alabama, Boatner,
dem, of Louisiana, Swanson, dem, OF
Virginia, Mccall, rep. of Massachusetts
(only upon the rate of interest prOposed),
by Messrs Wheeler, dem. of Alabama,
and Shofroth and Bell, poDs., of Colorado.
Tomorrow the bill Will be under con-
sideration for amendment and several
substitutes will be proposed.
A resolution was agreed to, offered by
Mr. Turner, DEM, of Georgia, directing
the Attorney General to print as an ap-
pendix to his last report the correspond
ence in the department of justice upon the
great railroad strike in Chicago in 1894.
The House, at o'clock, under the rules,
took a recess until 8 o'clock, the evening
session to be for the consideration of pri-
vate pension bills.
The evening session was rendered of no
avail tonight by absenteeism. Upon the
motion being made to go into committee
of the whole, Mr.. Erdman, dem, of Penn
sylvania, suggested that by the order
adopted by the House, relating to the
Pacific railroad refunding bill, nothing
else could be considered until it had been
disposed Of He desired to offer an amend
ment to that bill, but Mr.. Thomas, rep,
of Michigan, raised the point of order
that that could not be done.
The speaker pro tenn, Mr.. Payne, rep,
of New York, sustained the point of or
der, from which ruling Mr.. Erdman ap-
pealed. The decision of the chair was
sustained by a vote of "a to 1.
Mr. Erdman made the point of no quo
rum, and the rest of the evening was oc-
cupied in proceedings under call of the
House.
At 1920 o'clock the session expired by
limitation under the rules, and the House
stood adjourned until tomorrow.
