Speaker Coon,bs speaks About Proposed
Ertrn Journal Clerks.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 18.-
Speaker Coombs tonight made an apollo
getic statement to the effect that no re-
fiection upon Clerk Duckworth had been
intended by him in his remarks yester-
day upon Prices bill to hire two assistant
journal clerks, to draw duplex, reversi-
BILE back action salary from February g..
He Uhe Speaker) had advocated that
measure simply as matter of protection.
He thought that there might be mistakes
in the journal, but he had rot intended 10
cast reflections upon anybody.
"Mr. DucKworth has nothing to DO with
the journal" added Mr.. Coomos; that is
handled by the journal clerks exclu-
sively."
Price explained that he had discovered
that there were vital errors in the journal
which would inValidate Assembly bills
1872 and ST. Those errors should be cor
rected He had no intention OF castln e
reflections upon any one.
Belshaw thought that the journal clerks
were com mpetent to perform their duties
and he could not see why help should be
employed.
North of Alameda knocked the wind
out of the balloon by denying that there
were any errors tn the journal affecting
bill 872
The resolution was defeated in short or
der and two would-be journal clerks will
have to walk home on the ties.

Recent Developments ReneU Interest In

tho Terrible Crime.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 18.-New
interest has been aroused in the terrible
tragedy which occurred near Santa Bar
bara last July, when Mrs. Mary Lang
Richardson and her daughter, Ethel, were
brutally murdered at their villa IN Monte
cito. The citizens of Santa Barbara are
endeavoring to have Governor Budd offer
reward for the accomplices of Cyrus
Barnard.
1t was supposed tnat in his death the
sole perpetrator of the crime had gone to
his account, but recent developments have
led to different belief. hence the action
OF the Santa Barbara people.
While there is no doubt in the minds of
people generally that Barnard was guilty,
still the investigations that have been
made since the tragedy indicate that some
one else was with him.
Barnard was slight of build, and the
evidences of the terrific struggle that the
women had with their murderers preclude
the idea that he was alone. Besides, the
double set OF footprints around the house.
found the morning after the m urder, have
not been satisfactorily explained on the
theory that Barnard was single-handed in

ODEBOLT, Iowa, March 1s.-This after
noon Dave Pennington, a worthless char
acter who has been loafing around Ode
bolt all winter, loaded shotgun and
started out to kill number of people who
had incurred lis enmity.
His first hunt was A. F. Walter, against
whom he had a grudge. but Walter saw
him coming and hid. Then Pennington
went to the house of Hiram Johnson, a
plasterer and fred at Mrs. Johnson. Sc
riously wounding her in the shoulder and
back. He next emptied both barrels into
Luther Traver, an old resident, killing
him instantly. Then he pointed the gun
at Mrs. Frank Stoll. neigh Dor. who went
to her door on hearing the noise. She ran
into the house, closing the door behind
her, but Pennington fired through the
door, fatally wounding the woman In the
abdomen.
All this took place in fifteen minutes.
The neighbors gave the alarm and Pen-
nington retreated slowly across some va
cant lots, loading his gun az he went.
Consta BILE Flathers and Marshal Strath-
corn followed him. Pennington called to
Fathers and dared him to shoot. The
officer hesitated and then Pennington e1-
claimed: "WeII. If you haven't the nerve
to shoot, have"
Then he placed the muzzle of the gun
to his forehead and blew the top OF mis-
head off. scattering his brains and pieces
of his skull fifty feet around him.
Pennington was undoubtedly insane.
He was hard character, but not drink
ing man, and resented comments that
had been made bv his victims of his rela-
tions with married woman of the neigh
borhood.
The town is in gloom over the tragedy.

WHY NOT BE SQUARE?

Some time since We objected

ineult 10 Mr. Robert Howard, of
Fall River, Mass, when he made
Q Southern trip in the interest OF
organized labor. In this issue,
we reprint 3 reference to what
we said aud a halt-hearted re-
traction. But it cannot let Mr..
Howard alone and still curls its
aristocratic proboscis in speaking
of him ASA walking delegate.
Now, we repeat, Robert How.
ard, of FslI River, is as good aud
honest a man as the Editor Of
the Manufacturers Record. Why
then be 80 unfair and covertly
lnsinuate that Mr.. Howard
means harm to the SDutt?
As we understand ia walking
delegate is u paid idIer who Is en-
gagged in keeping the members
of Grade organizations from be-
ing imposed upon by scabs and
pirates. Is this intended as u
a thrust against the possibility OF
the cotton spinners making any
organization tor their own pro-
lection in the South, but il, they
snou d even think OF anything OF
this kind, why the cOlored help
