INSPECT SAN DLEG0'S HARB0R.
Calm While a Storm RACES
Uf Sen

SAN DIEGO. CAL, Jan. 13.--The United
States Harbor Commission arrived to-day
at noon and, accom- panied by local officials,
left on the Ladrona to INSPECT the har Dor,
jatty and coast defenses. The inspection
was made under favorable circumstances
Notwithstanding that storm was raging
outside. Not the slightest effect of the
blow was felt by the shipping in the bay.
The mem bers of the commission remarked
this fact.
After inspecting the bay and harbor the
com mission visited Coronado Island,
where, accom- panied by Z. s. Babcock OF
the Hotel del Coronado it boarded train
for .he Zuninga jetty at the mouth of the
harbor, on the eastern side. The visitors
viewed the work of constructing the jetty,
and also OF the outward protecting wing,
which, when completed, will be 800 feet
in length. The jetty will be about 1000
feet long, and is about half completed.
Part of the duty of the commission is to
report upon the probable effect the jetty
will have upon the harbor, and to what
extent it will likely deepen the main en-
trance. Admiral Walker said to THE CALL
correspondent:
''Our visit has no particular significance.
We came merely to examine the harbor,
the nature of the coast defenses, and to es-
innate the probable effect OF the jetty,
when com pleted, upon the harbor. !
cannot give an idea as to the pro bable ma
ture of our report; our visit will in no.
wise affect our report on Santa Monica
and San Pedro harbors."

for Managing Her Property
Interests.

STOCKTON, CAL, Jan. ia rather
sensational action was commenced to-day
IN the Superior Court by W. E. Carter
against his wife, Mary B. Carter. Carter
is member of the real estate firm OF
Henderson & Carter, and sues for $4,000
for managing his wite's property interests
during the past two years. He alleges
that his services as business manager,
agent and broker during that time named
are reasonably worth that sum, and that
he has never been paid q cent for his
la bors in Hooking after The property OF his
better half.
Until recently Carter and his wife have
lived amlcably, but several days ago they
had some differences, and the suit is the
outgrowth of her refusal to pay anything
for managing her estate. Mrs. Carter was
formerly Mrs. J. III. Tam, wife of the ex-
Police Judge, who is now a racehorse-
owner of San Francisco. Before that she
was the wife of DR.. Odell, and inherited a
fortune from the Moss estate. Carter is
her fourth husband, as she was widow

killed by her brother, but he was acquitted
by jury.
Mrs. Carter is very wealthy, owning a
great deal CT property in this county. She
married Carter IN the East few years
ago. tits believed that suit tor divorce
will follow the action brought to-day.

UKIAH MURDER TRIAL.
Witnesses Testify Against John Dodge,
Accused of the Mudgett
Murder

UKIAH, CAL, Jan. 13.-The trial OF
John Dodge, charged with the murder OF
]. A. H. Mudgett. the wealthy Usal
rancher, attracts large crowds to the Su-
perior Court. The first witness called this
morning was Marx w. Stone, who testi-
fed to the finding of what appeared to be
Mud getts body in the ruins of his cabin,
which had been destroyed by fire. He
identified the frame of a rife as one he
had found at the scene of the crime, and
which was the property OF Mudgett.
Perry F. Bowman and his wife testified
III at Dodge visited them about noon on
tn dav of the crime He departed about
o'clock that afternoon. Dodge returned
an hour later for some powder for his
shotgun. This was given to him and he
loaded the weapon with buckshot.
Deputy Sheriff Martin Hart gave the
details of the confession made by Dodge
to him.
Testimony given to-day showed that
buckshot similar to those found in the
undischarged barrel of Dodge's shotgun
were found in the fence near Mudgett's
house and this would tend to disp:ove
the contention of the defendant that the
shooting occurred in the house. The shot
is of peculiar kind, having been nodded
by Dodge himself.
Mrs. Dodge, who is to be tried as an
accessory after the fact, is now at the Pal
ace hotel, seriously i'll.

FROM THE
SCOTTISH ISLES
Captain Nichols Suddenly
Disappears From His
Vessel.
Believed to Have Plunged TO
Death in the Waters of
Townsend Bay.
His Reason Dethroned by Illness and
Worry Over Seamen's
Strike.

PORT TOWNSEND. WASH, Jan. ID
Captain d. Nichol of the British bark
Scottish Isles is missing. and every in
dication points to suicide. Since the ar
rival of his vessel some weeks ago it has
been a well known though suppressed
fact along the front that he was not en-
tirely sane. A fever from which he had
suffered seemed to affect his brain. The
vessel loaded lumber at Port Blakeley for
Delagoa Bay, South Africa, and was
towed to Port Townsend Monday. Since
its arrival, nine of the crew refused to do
duty and it is supposed that worry over
this fact coupled with imaginary griev-
ances dethroned Captain Nichols reason.
The last seen of the unfortunate man
was last night at II o'clock. 1t is con-
cluded that he came on deck during the
night and in a moment OF temporary abb
erration jumped into the chilly waters of
Townsend Bay. The unfortunate event
has cast deep gloom over the entire water
front, where Captain Nlchoi was known
as an able, sober and industrious mariner.

Archhect Wood Says Affairs Are Not as
Bad in Cuba as Stated BY the
congres Sm1n.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 13.-The rep
reservations of fernando de Soto
Money, member of Congress and Senator
elect from Mississippi, as to the state OF
affairs in Cuba are pronounced to be in
correct in many details by A. ]. Wood, an
architect of 153 Broadway, who was in
Cuba at the time of Mr.. Moneys visit
and has personally Investigated the situa-
ton there.
II cannot see how an educated man
carrying the passport OF another nation
and asking protection and receiving it
can so degrade himself as to publish state
ments that will work injury without first
determining upon the possible reliability
of the source of which lis information
comes"
Woods business affairs have taken him
to Cuba every year but one since 1886 and
he is personally known to many Cubans.
During his last visit to the island, which
terminateu suddenly January 2. four days
after Mr.. Moneys arrival in Havana, he
traversed in safety part of the territory
which Mr.. Money has declared to be I'M
safe ana at the mercy of the insurgents,
and Investigated for himself the reported
massacre of pacficos at Guiana bacoa
which has been cited by Mr.. Money as an
instance of Spanish atrocity. Concern
ing this he said:
"Mr. Money states that only q few days
before his arrival the insurgents, three
nights in succession, attacked the city OF
Guanabacoa OF 5000 inhabitants, within
four or i've miles OF the city of Havana,
and burned twenty-five houses, and that
they were unopposed by Weyler's troops.
"Now, said Wood. ~ learned beyond a
shadow OF doubt that not more than two
in surgents were killed, and yet by the re-
port given by Money it appears that he
added of his own volition nine persons to
the list of the dead as it was irrespon-
sively estimated at first. The inference
Mr.. Money makes concerning the prev
alence of epidemics and the inadeGuacy
of the Spanish hospital service is not
borne out by my observations. I was in
Havana eleven days and saw but two OF
the yellow smallpox flags. The disease is
not known to be epidemic in Havana
now. Yellow fever always exists in Ha-
vana to some extent, but it is not espe-
cially prevalent now'

MISSING FROM ASTORIA.
Ex- Sheriff Smith Disappears for the Sec
ond Time From His Oregon
Hama


PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 13.-Ex-Sheriff
Harry Smith of Astoria, who year ago
suddenly left his family, has again dis
appeared. He is one of the best known
and most popular men in the Northwest
and his doings for the past year or more
are mystery to his most intimate friends.
His former disappearance was extremely
sensational. Coming TO Portland with
some thousands of dollars ne fell in with
fast company and while intoxicated his
money was stolen. Ashamed to return
and face his creditors Smith made his
way to Antwerp, Belgium.
Some months after his departure let
ter couched i'll piteous language, purport-
ing to have been received from Smith, was
published In an Astoria paper. This letter
had quite an effect in softening public
opinion toward the man, and later he re-
turned. Since his arrival in Astoria, fol-
lowing his escapade, friends and creditors
have done everything possible to assist
him in regalning his former high position
in the com munlJy.
Smith received 5000 on Saturday as the
result of a com promise of his claim
against Clatsop County for the collection
of delinquent taxes.
This money he was to have distributed
among his creditors, but instead he
brought it with him to Portland. Since
then he has not been seen In Astoria. A
friend of Smiths said:
LAS matter of fact he has never re-
covered his old-time confidence since COM
ing back-has never been able to feel the
same. L have noticed that when meeting
some one whom he had known before, for
the first time since coming back, he would
flush as though with shame. Possibly
this feeling has worn upon him until it
becoming unbearable he has taken this
money and sought some place where he
would be among strangers"
