RIVERSIDE

RIVERSIDE, Oct. 20-(Regular Corre-
spondence.) The work of grading the ex-
tension of the Santa Fe line from San Ja-
cinto to Lake View will begin Monday
next. The grading will be done by the Lake
View company under an agreement with
the Santa Fe people that the rails will be
laid and the road operated by the latter.
Phe extension will be ten miles long and
will traverse some of the richest lands of
the San Jacinto valley.
There is talk of extending the line still
farther on from Lake View to Alessandro,
via Moreno, forming a loop line, but this
is not definitely decided.
The troubles of settlers of the Alessandro
irrigation district multiply and increase as
the years go by. Edward j. Lebreton
president of the French Savings bank of
San Francisco, has brought two separate
suits against Frank e. Brown, the Alessan-
dro irrigation district the Bear Valley Ir-
rigation company and about 275 of the set
tiers in the Alessandro irrigation district
in this county to foreclose two blanket
mortgages aggregating $67, JAS in amount
and covering 903S acres of land. This is a
direct foreclosure of mortgage on these
lands and it is the second proceeding of it's
kind. 1t is understood that a third interest
of like character is yet to be heard from.

TEN PER CENT TAX
Treasury Officials Waiting for Test
Case


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2O.-Collector
of the Port Jackson has received from
w. B. Howell, Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, a copy of the opinion rem
|dered by Attorney-General McKenna
on August 18th in regard to the 10 per
cent discriminating tax on goods i'm
ported by foreign transportation con-
panies Accompanying the opinion are
the following instructions:
"All entries of merchandise imported
from contiguous country. which is the
product or manufacture of a foreign
country not contiguous to the United
States should be liquidated in accord
ance with this opinion, which is to the
effect that the discriminating duty at
taches to such cases"
The opinion referred to is in contradic-
ton of the one approved by the Attor-
ney-General on September 21st. As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury
Spaulding makes the following state
ment in regard to the position of the
Treasury Department relative to Sec
ltion % of the tariff act, which embodies
the matter of the discriminating duty:
I'VE have two opinions from Attorney
General McKenna. Under one opinion
we admit foreign goods-that is, not
Canadian or Mexican goods-without
collecting the 10 per cent discriminat-
ling additional duty, provided the goods
come through Canada or Mexico in
transit only; that is. what is commonly
|called in bond. BY the other opinion
we collect the additional 10 per cent
liz the goods are reshipped in the con-
Itiguous foreign country-that is, If they
do not come straight through in bond.
We fully expect some one will make a
test Of section 22 in court"

suTRo SICK
San Francisco's Ex-Mayor stricken
With Paralysis

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2O.--A rumor
gained currency last night that ex-
Mayor Sutro was at the point of death.
Upon inquiry at Sutro Heights a de-
NAL of this report was made. Charles
Sutro, the son Of the ex-Mayor, said
that his father was taken ill Sunday
evening. His trouble was designated as
fainting spells, for which no explanation
was given other than possibly over-ex-
erton. 1t was learned that the ex-May-
or had suffered stroke of paralysis.
Two physicians are in attendance and
DR.. Maybrick has taken UP quarters
in the Sutro residence in order to be in
readiness in case his assistance should
be suddenly needed. 1t is given out that
the first alarm occasioned by the ex-
Mayors sudden collapse had been al
layed. although the constant presence
of physician seems to indicate a fear
of recurrence of failing strength on
the part of the patient, who is over 81
years Of age.

BUTCHER is DEFENDED
By A CLAIM OF JUSTIFIABLE
HOMICIDE
Truth of butchers Confession Set
Forth by Defendants Counsel's
Opening Address

SAN JOSE, Oct. 20.-Attorr,ey Sche,-
ler, counsel for Dan butcher, made pre-
liminary statement of what he expected
to prove this morning. This shows the
line of the defense to be self-defense
and justifiable homicide. Attorney
Schel.er said he would show that Scho-
field made thousand threats to kill
his wife both in the presence of the fam
lily and strangers. Just before the :rag-
edy he came to San Jose and secured
supply of whisky. He had been to Wat
Isonville with butcher few days before
assd TOLD the defen dant he would kill his
wife If she did not reiinquish the home
stead and let him sell the place and go
to Klond,ihe. The night before the trag
edy Schofield asked his wife to let him
sell the ranch. She refused. He threat
ened to kill her, slapped her and called
her vile names, said he was going to kill
her. and went into the bedroom got
shotgun, returned with it, ard Mrs Scho-
field ran screaming from the house.
butcher got the rifle and went out to her.
Schofield in the meantime was cursing
and, swearing he WOULD kill all the house
hold. Mrs. Schofield finally said she was
going into the house. Her life was a he'll
anyhow, ard she might as well be dead.
She went to the porch aesd opened the
ooor to go in butcher was behind her
somewhere. AS the door opened Scho-
fled seemed about to rise from his chair
and raised his gun. At the same instant
butcher fired. The ball passed close by
Mrs. Schofield's head, as she did not ex
pect the shot. The ball went through
Schofieldis shirt sleeve.
This explains the shot of the first
night. That night butcher said he was
going to leave. Schofield tried to get
him to come into the house. but he re-
fused. Next morning the row was re-
rlewed. SchofielG did not know butcher
was on the place. He said he was going
for an officer to hunt him up. If he saw
him on the road he would shoot him
down. Schofield was wild, with rage and
| liquor. He got his gun after he started
the row, and said he would, shoot Mrs.
Schofied. He made this threat when
she said she would have him arrested if
he burned the house to get the insurance
While he was chasing Mrs. Schofiel6
with the gun butcher saw him coming
He had gone to Mrs. Schofield's aid
whesl he heard her run screaming from
the house. AS Schofield opened the
woodshed door with the gun in his hand,
butcher shot him and he fell dead in his
tracks.
The statements of the attorney made
sensation. 1t is generally believed to
be the truth, ard all the mystery of the
shooting is now cleared up.
