being the opinion of the committee
that as it would be debated in the
Council it was no use going over it
twice. Theodore Gier was on hand TO
oppose it. but made no speech except
to say that no man could be prevent
ed from going on any number of bonds

curity.
Harry n. Morse sent a communica-
ton denouncing the superintendent of
Streets, and Mr.. Miller made a speech
in reply. He and Mr.. Morse have
clashed over street work in Athol ave-
nue., and it is likely that no more per-
mits will be given Mr.. Morse until
truce has been concluded.
The ordinance granting the South

for passage when the petition has been
awarded.
The resolution calling for the cutting
down of three trees in front of old Oil

which he planted when a boy and
which have grown up with him, may
be spared.

NOT LOYAL
TO CHARLIE
Closing Testimony in the
Trial Of Clara
Fallrn er.
The Case May Go to the Jury
at Tomorrow Nights
Session.
Medical Experts May Not Get Any
Fees for Testifying for
the Defense.
Oakland ONCE San Francisco Call,

oakland once San Francisco Call,
9oS Broadway, Dec. 20.
The trial of Clara Fa1lmer will prob
ably conclude tomorrow night. The
argumentative stage has been reached
and the attorneys hope to conclude
talking by p. m. tomorrow. An eff
fort Will then be made to have the
Judge charge the jury that the case
may be completed If possible before
midnight.
This morning medical experts again
took the stand and were examined and
cross-examined by the attorneys. At
the conclusion of DR.. Fuckers testi-
mony Deputy District Attorney Melvin
asked permission to put some witnesses
on the stand whose existence and tes-
timony he was not aware Of till yester-
day afternoon. He said the testimony
would go to the impeachment of the
defendant and to show that Ladue's
rejection of her would not have posi-
bly, resulted in insanity.
Delphine Eustchy, a domestic OF AL
ameda, told OF a conversation with
Clara Fallmer on the morning of the
I'd Of August, the day of the shooting,
in which Clara had stated that she had
quarreled with Charley and had stayed
at the house next door, where the only
occupant at that time was a China
man. At another time she said Clara
told her she would be IS in August Of
this year This witness admitted on
INSTRUMENTATION that she was not
friendly with the defendant, and after
ward stated that Clara had once spent
a whole week at the Harrison house
with the Chinaman as the only other
occupant.
The other witnesses for the prosecu-
ton were not on hand. and it was
stated that an effort to serve a sub
poena on Louie Chung. the former
servant Of the Harrison house, had
been unsuccessful.
The prosecution opened its argument
by A. A. Moore Jr. this afternoon. At
torney George w. Reed will follow; A
L. Prick will close tomorrow after
noon, and H. A. Melvin will finish the
case for the prosecution. The court
will then be requested to take a recess
for dinner and charge the jury at an
evening session.
There has been much testimony from
medical experts during the trial, and
much interest has been shown in an
opinion recently rendered to the Su-
pervisors by District Attorney Shook,
regarding expert testimony. The opin-
ion will result in quite a saving to
defendants, because Mr.. Shook holds
that he may incur any bill he sees fit
and certify to it, thereby making its
payment compulsory with the board.
His opinion concludes that the weight
of authorities rather inclines to the
opinion that the experts may be re-
quired to answer questions (Which have
not required any examination of per-
sons or things) without additional com
pensation other than the regular wit
ness fee allowed by law.

WILL NOT Go
TO COURT
The Sensational WRIGHT
Suit Will Soon Be
Compromised.
An Interesting Will Was Left
by the Son Of the
Capitalist.
Captain Wright, Stricken With Heart
Trouble, in a Critical
Condition.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

oakland once San Francisco Call,
90S Broadway, Dec. 20.
There is little likelihood that the
sensational suit filed by Mrs. George
5. Wright some weeks ago VIII ever
be tried in court. It is practically
agreed upon between the attorneys
representing the plaintiff and Captain
John T. Wright that there shall be
compromise. The nature Of the COM
promise will be that the capitalist
shall take care of his grand daughter,
whose father has died since the suit
was filed.
The complaint of Mrs. George S.
Wright was flied at a time when her
husband was seriously i'll. A few
days ago he died, leaving one child
This daughter is to have a share of
the Wright estate left by the first wife
Of the deceased's father.
Before his death at the Sanitorium
George S. Wright made a will, which
is very sensational'in its character. It
contains much family history, and de-
clares that his mothers estate has not
been distributed nor her jewelry
apportioned according to her de-
sires. The deceased was for many
years addicted to the liquor habit, and
this caused his fathers grave anxiety
AT times George S. Wright and his
wife did not have the most ordinary
food, and his father did all he could
for their daughter, and also employed
a doctor and gave him full power to
act when George was stricken with
his last illness.
The effect of the death Of his son
has been very disastrous to Captain
Wright. A few hours before the fu-
neral, which took place yesterday, the
aged capitalist was stricken with an
attack of heart trouble more serious
than he had experienced before, and
he is now very sick. He could not at
tend the funeral, and on account Of
his age, being nearly 20, there are

the presentation of claim by County
Recorder Cruel for $S25 for fees for
the filing Of mining claims. After con-
siderable discussion the claim was com
promised by cutting the claim in two.
and allowing one-half OF it. 1t was
brought out In the discussion that there
was an understanding between GruWell
and the supervisors that so long as the
board allowed him a deputy at sal
ary of $50 per month, he would not make
any claim for the mining fees. The
board has faithfully carried out its part
of the contract and has been for some
months allowing a deputy $50 per month.
There was no little hot blood shown
over the treachery of the recorder. In
consequence the clam OF the deputy for
the last months salary, which has been
put on all the time under the cover OF
work on abstracting mortgages while
the deputy was doing other work in the
office, was promptly disallowed. and this
model Republican offiCeholder is inform
ed that the total expense of conducting
his oifice must come out of his salary
hereafter. Members of the board claim
ed that his office had been the most ex-
travagantly conducted of any office in
the county. The action of the board is
generally approved by people of all
political shades, and Democratic board
again receives Justice.

POMONA
Office-Seekers Preparing for the HunicipaI
Race-Fruit Prospects

POMONA, Feb. THE various would
be candidates for the city offices to be
filled by an election here on April ~ are
already beginning to put themselves in
training. The most perplexing and puz-
zl1ng point to decide among them
and their followers is whether the
Liquor traffic" question be voted upon
yes" or no." as a separate issue.
Many say this would be the better plan
while others seem to be in favor of the
old mode-two sets of candidates, one
high license, the other no license. This
being SO, conservative people rather fa-
vor the calling of mass meeting at an
early date to pass upon the matter.
There are numbers, too who favor
city government that will make it's
prime business to seek the healthy
growth and progress of the community
at large in general way and leave this
question to the influence of public NOR
ais. general society and religious
teachings-at least not to have this
question bob up periodically as the
only bone of contention. Good schools,
good churches and good family circles
they argue, will make their influence
felt in the community where they exist
and finally regulate all such issues
Inquiry among the orchardists and
farmers of this valley elicit the infOrma-
ton that general fruit prospects are at
present good for another year. and the
chances for heavy grain and hay-as
well as sugar beets-ccops are now very
liattering. They admit, many of them,
however. that it is yet too early to make
positive assertions.
by request, Prof F. NJ. Bowling will
discuss this Sunday evening at the
Christian church: Is Heaven a Place or
a State? If the former, locate it; if the
latter, tell how to get into it.
