Mrs. Catherine Keane Meets With a
Frightful Accident - So Badly
Burned That There is No Hope for
Her Recovery-Incendiary Fire at
Santa Rosa.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 11.-Unit-
ed States Judge w W. Morrow this
morning decided that Murderer Butler
should not be allowed his liberty, as
petitioned for in a writ of habeas cor
put.
Unless further proceedings are taken
by the attorneys for the prisoner before
the extradition papers arrive from
Washington in a short time, he will de-
part for Australia in the custody of the
Antipodean officers.
However it is practically determined
that an appeal from Judge Morrow s
decision will be made to the Supreme
Court of the United States. A little adj
ditional respite can be gained thereby,
and apparently such is the only desire
of Attorney Black
In seeking to secure the release of his
client Attorney Black, representing
Butler, declared that Marshal Bald
win had exceeded his authority in ar
resting the murderer on the ship Swan
hilda. He contended that British ship
is British territory, even though in
foreign waters.
Judge Morrow disposed of the conten-
ton in short order. merely stating that
such declarations We're unheard of and
a most remarkable plea. His honor
found that sufficient evidence had been
put forth to give reasonable cause to
believe that Butler was a fugitive from
justice, and that he had been properly
arrested in accordance with the extra
dition treaties existing between Great
Britain and the United States.

long wrangle took place in the

SAN PEDRO HARBOR.
A Protest Filed Against the Inaugural
ton of the Work of Improvement.

WASHINGTON, March lit is I'M
derstood that Senator Frye has filed a
protest with the Secretary of War
against the Inauguration of the work
of improving San Pedro harbor, under
the recent decision rendered by the San
Pedro and Santa Monica Harbor Com
mission.
AS the matter now stands it is dis
cretionary with the Secretary of War
whether or not he enters into contracts
for the work Of improving San Pedro
harbor.
Under the provisions of the last river
and harbor Act the S342 600 appropri-
ated for improving Wilmington harbor
is not available, the law expressly stat
ing that If the commissions report
shall be In favor of San Pedro the APP
preparation for Wilmington harbor
shall not stand.
1t seems likely that strong pressure
will be brought to bear upon Secretary
Alger not to authorize the contracts for
the Improvement of San Pedro harbor

WHY EUROPE IS ALARMED.
ATHENS, March 1.-THE King of

cause events have shown that Greece
is an element of force in the Mediterra-
mean. Our rapidly modified fleet Gre

PROPOSALS OF THE POWERS.
LONDON, March 1.-THE Athens
correspondent of the Times outlining
the proposals of the Powers, learns on
the highest authority that Greece
would accept them on condition, first,
that the Turkish troops are immedi-
ately recalled from Crete; second, that
the Greek forces now on the island are
placed under the command of a mill
tary representative of the Powers SEN
ior in rank to Col. Vassos, for the sake
o. restoration of order and lastly that
the Powers induce Turkey to withdraw
her troops from the Greek frontier,
Greece doing the same.
Greece regards the latter condition as
most urgent, in view of the fact that
the excitement in Thessaly, not only
among the troops, but among the
armed peasants, has reached such a
hight that a conflict is possible at any
moment, involving the outbreak of
war
The Times" correspondent thinks
that matters have now reached a crit
zeal point. 1t is impossible for the
Powers to go back on their demand
tina Greece should evacuate Crete, but
public feeling in Greece is SO excited
it is doubtful whether the country
would even tolerate the conversion Of
the Greek army in the island into gen.
darmerie.
The 'Ephimiers" warns the Govern
ment not to be led astray by the idea
that the acute stage of the crisis has
passed. 1t believes Europe, fright
ened by the Greeks threat to precip-
itate general war, has determined to
resort to craft instead of force, know
ing that Greece can maintain 10000
men under arms many months.
The article concludes: THE Powers
must compel the withdrawal of the
Turkish troops from the frontier or the
Grecian army will drive them away"

WINE-PRODUCERS.
Will Demand Twenty Cents Per Gallon
for This Years Crop.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-THE
California wine producers are organ
lZing to ask twenty cents a gallon for
this years crop of sound merchanta-
BILE wine. The price obtained for last
years output was fifteen cents.
meeting will be held in the Chamber
of Commerce hall tomorrow to finally
decide upon the price. The meeting is
called Dy Herman Bendel, President of
the California Wine Makers Corpora
ton, which comprises from 200 to 300
OF the largest wine growers in the
State.
Three years ago. or before the wine
men organized to protect their inter-
ests, the ordinary price for wine was
only six and one-half cents a gallon.
The first year the price was raised to
twelve and one-half cents and last year
fifteen cents was the ruling figure.
The producers hereabout concluded
that this years price should be twenty
cents.
The wine men base their figures upon
the fact that last year the consump-
ton was three or four million gallons
more than the product of the year,
and from the way the demand is in
creasing the producers think they can
demand and secure a higher price. But
they must stop at twenty cents, ac-
cording to President Bendel. He says
that a higher price would cause adul-
teration and the importation of cheap
wines. His ideas seemed to be shared
by all the directors. The directors,
while favoring the increased price, did
not want to take the entire response
bility upon themselves to fix it at
do, but decided to call the producers
CT the State together.
The Wine Growers Association of
Santa Clara County has passed a res
olution favoring the twenty cents fig
Cre, and communications from other
counties show that the sentiment ia
voring 1t is almost unanimous Presi-
dent Bendel says there is no reason
why the producers should not remain
firm and get the stipulated price for
their wine.
Another matter to be discussed at the
meeting tomorrow is the feasibility of
establishing an immense wine storage
place in this city, with the idea of
mutual benefit to the producers and
buyer. 1t is proposed to rent a ware
house with a capacity of from one to
two million gallons. and store the wine
therein as fast as it is cured.
