NEW ORLEANS. LA, July11 A party

of President Barrios in declaring himself
dictator. They say his course was neces-
sary for the protection Of foreigners re-
siding there. and will be of great benefit
10 them. He realizes that this is thu only
salvation for his country. The real secret
OF his recent move lay IN the fact that a
Spaniard named Morales was an a.pirant
for the Presidency and had gained the fa-
vor of the ignorant classes by announcing
Guatemaa-f for G Guatemalans policy and

ing at Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20.-The struc-
ture of an organization that may reVo-
lrtfonize the entire deciduous fruit in
dustry of California was outlined to-
day at the convention of the deciduous
fruit growers, which held an all-day
session at the Chamber of Commerce.
At a future meeting a constitution
and bylaws will be perfected, and the
proposed exchange system gotten gem
orally into practicable shape.
President Forman of the Chamber of

vention, and A. r. Sprague was elected

EDGAR CONTEMPT CASE.
Attorney-Generals Office Placed
in a Peculiar Position.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20.-By rea-
son of the action of the Superior Court
Of San Diego County in citing Acting
Warden Edgar to appear and show
cause why he should not be punished
for contempt of court in having failed
to hang Murderer Ebanks on the Sth
of this month. the office of the Attor-
ney-General has been placed in pc
culiar position. Under the law the At
torney-General is the legal adviser OF
all State officers, and Acting Warden
Edgar will look to him as the proper
person to handle his interests in the
contempt proceedings. But the Attor-
ney- General is also the nominal prose-
cutor of all actions brought in the name
of the people, and as the Ebanks muir
der case was such an action the Dis
trict Attorney of San Diego County will
expect the Attorney General to be be-
hind him in the proceeding to have
Acting Warden Edgar fined for con-
tempt of court.
Acting Attorney General Garter says
he is undecided as to which side of the
issue he will take. He admits that
Acting Warden Edgar has the right
to ask and expect his advice and as
sistance in the contempt proceeding,
yet, in his words, 'The office of the
Attorney General stands for the en-
forcement of the laws" and Edgar Is
the defendant to an action that has to
do with an action that was nominally
prosecuted by the Attorney-General.

A SWINDLER ARRESTED.
Passed Forged Checks on a San
Francisco Hotel Manager.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20.-Harry
Rogers, a well-dresed man about 40
years of age, was arrested by Detec-
tives Gibson and Wren in a cheap
lodging house in Oakland upon two
charges of forgery preferred against
him by Manager Brenan of the Hotel
Pleasanton, upon whom he passed
worthless checks drawn upon the Ca
madam Bank of Commerce at Toronto.
Rogers came here about five years
ago with young Du1yea, SON of the big
manufacturer, from the East After a
tour of the State, during which both
men spent money lavishly, Rogers re-
turned here, and about one month ago
engaged comfortable quarters at the
Pleasanton. Upon the recommendation
of c. II. Hopkins, a Santa Barbara
capitalist, and other equally we'll
known business men of this city, Rog-
ers had no difficulty in obtaining ex-
tensive credit, and his checks were ac-
cepted without question.
After having gone the rounds of the
various resorts in this city, leaving be-
hind him a trail of worthless checks
for sums ranging from So to $40, he
was asked to explain the fact that the
first check given to his host of the
Pleasanton had been dishonored, but
promptly disappeared.
Very little is known here of his an
tecedents, but it is said that he is
w1dower, and that until two years ago
he was in possession of a small fortune
which he inherited from his wife. but
Which he threw away during a brief
career of dissipation.

night ten new cases had been entered

since noon.
The weather to-day has been not
unlike that of the entire week. 1t has
been cool and sultry during the nights
and early mornings, and especially cal
culated to produce fatalities. OF the
deaths to-day two or three were the
results of poor treatment
The most notable death of the day
was that of Ira T. Britton. Mr.. Brit
ton was manager of the General Elec-
trio Company here. He had come here
about a year ago from Columbus, Ohio,
and was taken down few days ago. He
had been unable to rally, and this morn
ing he died.
This is the record of deaths: Ira L.

A KANSAS TOWN EXCITED.
AN ATTEMPT MADE TO LYNCH
A MURDERER.
He Had Shot and Killed a Sheriff
Who Had Placed Him
Under Arrest.

MANHATTAN (Kan.), Oct 20. A
crowd of excited citizens throng the
streets here tonight in the vicinity of
the County Jail, threatening summary
vengeance upon the murderer of Sher-
iff S. B. Lard, who was shot down to-
day while i'll the performance of Off
cial duties at Leonardsville, village
twenty miles northwest of here.
The murderer whose death is de-
manded by the clamorous mob is Ike
Warren, a notorious ''bootlegger'' of
Leonardsville
Sheriff Lard and a deputy arrested
Warren at Leonardsville this after
noon upon warrants sworn out by some
of the prohibition people of the place,
and when the killing occurred were on
the way with him to the railroad sta
ton. The deputy, who is said to have
been drinking, carried two revolvers,
one of which he carelessly exposed with
in reach of the prisoner. Warren, who
was drunk, grabbed one of these weap-
ons and turned it upon Sheriff Lard.
He fired ONE bullet into the Sheriff $
head, and as the officer fell a second
bullet took effect in the body near the
heart.
Warren broke away and dashed down
the street. His flight was stopped by
Banker Sparks of Leonardsville. who,
having seen the shooting of the Sher-
iff, drew a. revolver and began firing
at Warren. A bullet which took effect
in the neck brought the murderer to a
standstill. The wound is not serious
The shooting caused great excitement
in Leonardsville, and the murderer
would have been roughly handled but
for the fact that two Deputy Sheriffs
hurried off with him to the depot, and
soon had him aboard the train for Man
haitian.
Sheriff Lard died in a few minutes.
and the Coroner was telegraphed for.
When the train bearing the murderer
arrived here a crowd of several hum
dred men surrounded the station. The
cry of Lynch him. was Immediately
heard, and the crowd gathered in upon
the prisoner The six Deputy Sheriffs
who had Warren in custody drew their
revolvers and threatened to shoot the
first man who made a hostile move The
murderer was drawn to an omnibus, and
the six deputies jumped in. The horses
were lashed into run, and the reins
were not drawn until the county Jan
was reached.
The mob followed and surrounded the
jail, demanding the life of the murderer.
Finally Sheriff Marsh came to the jail
steps and urged the citizens to allow the
law to take its course. He told them
the murderer had been shot in the neck
and was badly hurt, and urged the
crowd not to attempt the life of man
who might die of his wounds. This
seemed to quiet the crowd for time,
but it soon became known that Warren
was not badly hurt, and the talk of
lynching became more pronounced.
At II o'clock tonight the town is
somewhat quieter, but it is reported
that several secret meetings are being
held with the intention of organizing for
a lynching.
