WANTED TO MOVE TO JAPAN.
A California Manufacturer Says He
Thought of Doing So.

Washington, January 2.-Today was
the fifth day of the tariff hearings before
the committee on ways and means. The
subject in discussion was f1ay, hemp and
their manufactures. There was quite a
large attendance of persons interested in
those industries. The first manufactur-
er to be heard was Mr.. VIM. Rutherford
of Oakland, CAL, who said that in Cali
fornia they were engaged in making
Irvine, yarn and cloth in a great many va
rieties. The first of these mills was
started there about 80 years ago and
within that time the business had in
creased largely. They now wanted q
reasonable protection to run their mills.
Under the clause in the free list admit
ting cotton bagging and certain goods
made of burlaps. importers were bring
ing in cloths of various kinds, including
horse and carriage robes. This was not
fair nor the intent of the act, but the
words call such material" used in the
act enabled the goods to be brought In.
The makers of mixed iute and cotton
goods suffered from this. He had called
the attention of the customs officials to 1T
and be understood that they now had
the matter under consideration. One of
the Oldest plants in the United States,
established at Black Point; CAL, during
the war had been taken down and trans
ferred to Japan. He had been advised to
transfer his plant to Yokohama, being
told that he could get his labor at from
six to twelve cents per day, and his coal
for about 80 cents per ton, but he had
found that foreigners could not hold
property in Japan and therefore he said
he had to give up that idea.
The chairman inquired of Mr.. Ruther-
ford whether his industry had been sac
cessful after the passage of the tariff act
of 1890. eyes, sir, very successful, an
swersd Mr.. Rutherford. "The duty was
taken in that act off the raw material
and that gave us an assistance OF $40 Per
ton on iute. We were never better off
than from 1890 to 1894 when the Wilson
tariff act was passed.
The chairman stated that up to he
tariff act of 1894, some SO, 0O0. 600 of reye-
nue. had been derived from burlaps, and
that that amount oe revenue had been
thrown away.

had been assaulted at Kenison's, u way
take.
The verdict of the coroner's jury, rem
dered at noon Saturday, is in substance,
as follows:
The jury find that Mark M. Bachelor
of Sebago. on the Goth of Decem Der, 1896,
while at the house of Walter S. Martin
at Sebago, in tie county of Climber
land. was then and there assaulted and
struck on the head several blows with a
sled stake by one Leslie A. Kenison
that after receiving said blows said
Bachelor started from said Martin S
to go to his home In Sebago and was
found on the morning of December az,
1896, near the house of one G. M. White,
in dying condition, where he SOON after
expired. The jurors fnd that said blows
inflicted by said Leslie A. Kenison were
not sufficient to cause the death of said
Mark M. Bachelor. The jurors there
fore find that the said Mark NJ. Bachel-
dor came to his death at Sebago on the
9th of December, 1896, while in state of
intoxioation, from loss of blood, exposure
to the weather and freezing.
So far as can be learned the story of
Bachelors death is substantially us
given below. Bachelor started from
his home on the Saturday before his
death Sunday, to go to Mud City, SO
called. On his way there he called at
~ I,
his way home he called there again. He
then started for home early in the after
noon, being somewhat Intoxicated. : 1t
appears that he had mishap, got thrown
out of his sleigh, and about O'Clock in
the afternoon returned to Walter S. Mar
tins house, near Kenison's, for help.
Martin was at home and Kenison and
one Flint were there also. They helped
Bachelor patch up the wreck of his
sleigh, tying up the thill with wire.
1t was at this time that Bachelor
got into trouble with Remission. The
exact nature of the row is not known.
but it started in heated argument over
some question of no Importance. Rachel-
dor was an immensely powerful man and
it is said he was the aggressor. At any
rate Kenison, who was not drunk, but
had been drinking, was greatly exas-
perated, and selling sled stake struck
Bachelor over the head with it. The
latter fell to the ground and Kenison
continued to strike him, until Martin
ordered him to desist. Then Martin
got Bachelor into the sleigh and started
him for home.
Bachelor was out all night, bleeding
considerably and also being intoxicat-
ed. Tie thermometer was 10 degrees be-
low zero and the severe weather was
more than he could stand. He became
chilled through and probably froze to
death, being found by Mr.. White, just
before he expired. The testimony of DR..
King, who made the autopsy, is to the
effect that Bachelor froze to death.

DIED FROM EXPOSURE
Is What the COroner's Jury Said Of M
NJ. Bachelor.

But They Held Leslie Kenison for As
sault With Deadly Weapon-He
Struck Bachelor With Sled Stake
The Municipal Court Hearing Conttn-
ued Saturday.
"Feloni0us assault with a dangerous
weapon with intent to kill. !"
This Is the charge on which Leslie A.
Kenison of North Sebago, ia now con-
fined in Portland jail, awaiting hear
ing. Kenison is accused of having struck
Mark NJ. Bachelor of North Sebago over
the head with sled stake a week ago
Saturday, and while the man q death
which occurred on the following Sunday
is not attributed alone to this cause, yet
the coroner's jury, which delivered its
after two hours session, evidently be-
lieved that Kenisons assault On Bachel-
dor might have had something to do with
the man S death. Accordingly. Kenison,
who Is young man about 25 or 26 years
old, will have to stand trial for assault
with a dangerous weapon and with in
tent to kill. 1t will be relnemnered that
on Sunday, December 27, Bachelor was
found near the house of 9. NJ. White, by
the roadside, in a dying condition. He
was taken to MIR. Whites house, where
he died, without being able to tell how
he came to be in the condition in which
he was found. 1t was suspected that he

Kenison told bis STORY, and Martin and
Flint also told theirs. The result was
that the jury brought in the above YER
dlcu and Kenison was at once arrested
on the charge as stated above.
Saturday afternoon Kenison was
brought into the municipal court by
Sheriff Plummer. He appears to be
very inoffensive looking young fellow
and was apparently deeply Ldistressed
over his position. He was dressed neat
ly and appeared to be very bright
young man.
On the motion of County Attorney
George Libby, who hae plunged into
cases Of a large magnitude very early
in his career as county attorney, young
Kenison's case was continued until Sat-
urday, January Z. when he will be given
his preliminary hearing. The county
attorney asked that the prisoner might
be held in the sum of $500 until that
date. Judge Robinson asked Kenison
if be hadsssasy objections to offer to
this con tinuance Of his bail. The young
fellow replied that he had no objections
and desired chance to obtain bail If
possible. Judge Robinson assured the
prisoner that he could have all tho OPP
portunity of communicating with his
friends that he desired.
On Tuesday the grand jury assemblies
and it is probable that Kenison's case
will be brought to their attention, and
if the evidence warrants 1t, an indict-
ment may be found against the young
man before his preliminary hearing is
held. The other important witnesses in

GEORGE FRED AGAIN.
The Bay State Troubles to Be Carried in
Court.

Boston, January 2.-The followers of
George Fred Williams in the Democratic
State Central committee have begun
court proceedings against the Faneuil
hall faction Of the committee. Judge
Holmes in the Supreme court this morn
ing was presented with petition brought
by John V. Scotland Of Braintres against
John H. Sullivan Of Boston and fifteen
others, praying for writ of mandamus
The object of the petition is to prevent
the respondents from taking part in the
reorgan ization of the Democratic state
central committee claiming that they
have no right to do 80. The first ground
taken is that the sena torial conventions
only have the right to elect members OF
TIE state central COMMITTEES; secondly
that the respondent. who were selected
by the Faneuil Hall convention, were
not legally chosen. The court issued an
order of notice upon the respondents re-
turnable into court at II this forenoon,
when ex-Judge Corcoran, N. 6. Robin
son and Hon. John H. Sullivan appeared
to answer the order of notice.
When Sthe case was called, Judge
Holmes asked Counsel Pratt for the pc
titioners, provided his clients and the re-
spondents could not agree, that the meet
ing called to organize the state central
com bSee today be postponed until the
questions of the case be heard, and also
that the case be fixed for hearing.
Judge Corooran stated that he was about
to suggest that that be done. He said
the respondents counsel S. ]. Elder,
had not appeared yet, but had been sent
for. just at this moment Mr.. Elder ap-
peared. Counsel Pratt, for the petition-
ers, suggested to the court that perhaps
further order should be issued upon the
respondents, as he had not been able to
get services upon all of them in the
short time which the previous order al
low ed. Judge Corcoran stated that he
need not get a further order, that he him
self, and he had no doubt the remaining
respondents will appear Voluntarily. The
court has stated that no further order of
notice was necessary, as subpoena reg
ulsrly issued will answer. 1t was agreed
by both sides that the meeting OF the
committee called for noon today, should
be postponed to await the call OF q some
appointed person.
