when he spoke. He said he was
annoyed by the fact that several
persons charged With murder and
other atrocious crimes had recently
been acquitted or their trials had
resulted in hung juries. He had
particularly in mind the case Of

"Colonel Uriah Lott, the man
who built the 'Tarantula' of Texas,

accompanied by his old right bower,

Colonel Lott is seen around it is
imagined that new road is to be
built, and yesterday he said to the

rangements to build q direct line

The shortest route now is 270 miles

miles, going through Seguin, Con

We find that most Of our bust

seem likely that another read

NOT GOOD POLICY
To Allow England to Annex Clipper
ton Isdand

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1S.-The
arrival of the steamer Navarro from
Clpperton Island confirms previous ru-
mors of possible diplomatic complica-
tions with Great Britain over the own
ership of that isolated bit of land situ-
ated 900 miles west of Acapulco. 1t seems
that England has never acquired a title
to the island. Several years ago it was
discovered that the isle was rich in phos-
pilates. The Oceanic Phosphate Com
pany of this city was then organized
and since that time the island has been
owned here and has practically been
United States territory.
1t is now asserted that English capi-
talists propose to buy the San Fran
cisco companys interests and, having ac-
quired a commercial control to place
the island under Great Britain's flag.
A gentleman familiar with the mat
ter says: Mexico may assert claim
If England attempts to annex Clipper
ton and under the Monroe doctrine the
United States would be expected to sup
port it. If Mexico can show no title to
the island the United States has COM
mercial claim that is ahead of any
other.
Even though neither Mexico nor the
United States may want the island the
policy of the United States against the
extension of European dominion on this
continent may be extended to the coral
island. Diplomatic difficulties may
arise in any event unless England de-
sists. from attempting to acquire own
ership.

THE MAYHEM CASE
Begins to Look Ugly for the Santa
Cruz Defendants

SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 1S.-The Superior
Court was crowded this morning when
District Attorney Lindsay began his
opening statement in the Geo. f. Plyler
case. He spoke for an hour, saying that
the prosecution would prove that Plyler
had entered into conspiracy to MAIN
Chas. Harris. 1t would be shown that
Plyler had approached reputable men
versed in surgery to obtain their SER
vices; that he had engaged a negro to
assist him; that it was first proposed to
take Harris out to Wagoner's Park per-
form the operation and leave him. that
Plyler's act was not that of husband
while in fit of passion, but was done
coolly and deliberately, every precau-
tion being taken to prevent Harris los
ing his life. Mrs. Plyler, continued the
District Attorney, was the bait in the
trap set for Harris. A sensation was
caused when M. Schoedde defendant
was called to the stand by the prosecu-
ton The first question, do you know
Plyler?" ELECTED an objection by the
defense, which the court overruled
Schoedde was instructed by the defense
to refuse to answer and he replied, aris-
ing from his chair, that he declined to
answer because it would incriminate
him. Attorney Burchard argued at
length on this point, as the court had
stated the witness must answer the
questions put to him. The court took
the matter under advisement.
This afternoon H. Bradley and T.
Loryea testified to the prisoner hiring
them to come here. They went with
Plyler to Wagner's park. where place
was selected to which to take Harris.
Plyler had intimated to Loryea what
they proposed doing. The men, who
are negroes, said they backed out and
returned to San Jose. Plyler had told
Bradley that he proposed TO make Harris
confess and leave the state. r. A. Miller
testified that Plyler had offered him
money to come to Santa Cruz to assist
him in his purpose, but he declined
Loryea is under cross examination
which will be resumed tomorrow. He
testified that he has been in Jail and has
gone under several aliases.

AFLAME
A General Uprising of Afridis Will
Drive the English Out of Lundi

SIMLA, Aug. 1S.-It was anuour ced
here today that the whole frontier seems
to be aflame. The Afrids are marching
through the Khyber pass upon Jamrud,
while the Oradzais are advancing by
Karram and are threatening Samama.
The Thirty-sixth regiment of Sikhs,
which is divided into detachmens along

firming the report that Afridis of the

scending in force orr the Kurramthull
road, on which is situated the Sadr post.
This post is held by native officer and
thirty Sikhs.

reached that place.
If the Afridis rise generally the Brit

RECEIPT GIVEN
But the County Treasury Is Some
what Short

SANTA ROSA, Cal, August 1S.-Judge
Dougherty this morning rendered al
opinion in the case of Mendocino county
against ]. R. Johnson and bondsmen.
The Ukiah judge denies the motion for
new trial. Some time ago Mendocno
county brought suit against Johnson,
who is Tax Collector, for $4,000 John
sons deputy, Handy, claimed that he had
paid that amount to County Treasurer
Ford December 11th, two years ago but
took no receipt. Seven days after tha;
date Handy took $4,000 to the Treasurer
and demanded receipt for 0000, tn:
receipt to cover the $4,000 he said he had
paid December 11th Ford disclaime i
all recollection of the $4,000 payment bu,
being advised by Ukiah banker, who
was with Handy when Handy went to the
office, gave the desired receipt. Subse-
quently the Treasurer found he was
$4,000 short. Further inquiry satisfied
the banker that it was on previous oc-
casion that Handy had paid the $4,000 to
the Treasurer in his presence. The case
was tried before Judge Dougherty and
the jury found that Johnson's deputy
had not paid over the $4,000 as claimed
The case will now probably go to the
Supreme Court.

TURKEY IN TERROR
Bomb Throwers Scare the Citizens and

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 1S.-The
city is almost in panic over the bomb
explosions, attempted or accomplished
this afternoon at three different places.
The explosions are attributed to the Ar
menians.
The police have made number of ar
rests.
Reports of the explosion spread quick
ly and caused great excitement. The po-
lice and the guards at the sultan's PAL
ace are taking extraordinary precau-
tions tonight, which has given color 10
the rumor that the bomb throwing is
part of a widespread plot. The most alb
ject terror prevails in the precincts OF
the palace.
In many parts of the city, particular
ly in the vicinity of the police headquar-
ters, all the shops were closed and it
was necessary to call out the entire po-
lice force and the military before any
thing like calm was restored. The Ar
menian who was arrested at the Otto
man Imperial bank was trying to place
the bundle of explosives near one of the
main entrances

RAILROAD RIGHTS
One Kentuckian Feels Kindly Toward
Uncle Coils

FRANKFORT. Ky, Aug. 1S.-At
least one of the state board of valuation
does not believe in the right of the board
and of Kentuckys right to assess the
franchise of the Southern Pacific COM
pany for the taxation in this state. He
says that in the recent decision of the
United States supreme court in the Ken
lucky case against the Western Union
Telegraph company Justice Brewer
plainly said that while a state had the
right to tax that portion of franchise
exercised within it's borders, that it
would be manifestly unfair for a state
to attempt to assess all or any part of
franchise no part of which was eXer-
cised in that state, citing as an illustra-
tion the case of the Southern Pacific,
organized and chartered in Kentucky,
but exercising no part of its franchise
in Kentucky.
This same member, however, says
that there is way by which the South
ern Pacific can and should be made to
pay a big tax to Kentucky. The laws
of the state, he says, provide for taxing
the personal property of all residents of
| this state, no matter where such per-
| sonal property may be located. He says
that the home" of the Southern Pacific
company is in Kentucky, though it does
not operate in Kentucky, because its
charter was granted there and it was
organized here; that its personal prop
erty, stocks and bonds, etc, are taxable
by Kentucky just as is the personal
property of any resident or corporation
organized in and having it headquar-
ters in this state.
