To Be Soii to Anyone Who Wishes to Buy

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. GA plan
has been devised by the California Wire
Makers corporation and will be promul-
gated tomorrow to its members, for
marketing dry wines held by them.
This is rendered necessary by the break
ing Off of relations with the California
Wine Makers association to which sales
have been made almost exclusively dur
ing the last two seasons. Hereafter the
corporation wines will be offered to all
responsible buyers alike. minimum
price is fixed for those wines which
from inferior quality or from lack of
proper means of storage has been sold
early. but to check undue haste and to
induce retention of stock on the part of
those members who possess well-built
cellars In favorable localities and whose
product is strong and of superior quality.
premium is allowed on the price Of
sale between the minimum of 171a cents
a gallon and 20 cents fixed by the corpo-
ration. The object sought is to perfect
and carry out the true and equal bere-
fits of the corporation as provided rGr
in the original agreement and 20 this
end the deliv Eies of wines an,3 the pay
ment therefor, are distributed propor-
tionately throughout the season among
all members who have wine for sale at
ordinary prices.
By this plan the Wine Makers ccrpo-
ration believes that 1t will he able to reg
ulate the market and prevent any break
in price.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-The pre-
liminary newspaper reports of the COM
ing rbett-Fitzsimmons prize fight
were brought before the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce today by Rev. Wilbur F.
Crafts, with the request for speedy and
radical action by that committee. Mr.
Crafts is secretary of the National Re-
form league and has been instrumental
in securing congressional action against
prize fighting and against lotteries. He
presented to the committee the draft of
a bill to stop sensational reports Of
prize fighting, representing that most
newspapers would be glad to omit the
details of pugilistic events from their
columns if they were not driven to pub
lish them by the enterprise of less
scrupu!ous rivals.
The committee made some immaterial
changes in the bill and then by prac-
tically unanimous vote instructed Rep
resentatiye Aldrich of Illinois to report
1t to the house. The text Of the bill fol-
lows:
Section THAT no picture or descrip-
ton of prize fight or encounter of pugi-
lists under whatever name or any pro-
posal or record of betting on the same

MURDERER BUTLER
VIII Be Shipped to Australia by the Next
Steamer


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.-Frank
Butler, alias Ashe, alias Newman, the
Australian murderer, was this afternoon
held for examination on the charges OF
numbering Captain Lee Weller and Ar
thur Preston by United States Com
missioner Heacock before whom the ex-
tradition proceedings have been held.
Butler maintained the same calm de-
meanor which has characterized him
ever since his arrest, but listened atten-
lively to the review Of the testimony
given before the commissioner. Buffers
counsel did not resist the request for
extradition made by the British govern
ment, but objected to the representa-
tions of Consul-General Warburton of
Great Britain's diplomatic service that
Butler was fleeing from Australia when
arrested. He maintained that Butler
came here in the course of his ordinary
vocation. The case will now go to
Washington for review and II the COM
missioner's findings are approved, But
Ter will be sent to Australia on the next
outgoing steamer.
What seems to be a new chapter in
the history Of Butler or Richard Ashe,
the murderer, came to light yesterday
when 1t was declared on good authority
that the man OF many countries and OF
many aliases is a deserter from the
United States army 1t Is declared that
Ashe enlisted at Ogdensburg, N. Y,
about 1888 and was assigned to company

Senator Quay of Pennsylvania en-
deavored to take up the bill for nation

marking that 1t was a gigantic scheme
to establish a lot OF high-priced office
holders. The Indian appropriation bill
was taken up. An amendment referring
attorneys claims against the settlers
to the Cherokee fund was agreed to,
with an amendment excepting the
claims that are already settled.
Senator Burrows of Michigan made
statement that an attorney had received
the enormous sum Of $19S. 900. The law
less condition of affairs in Indian Ter
ritory was fully discussed in connection
with an amendment providing for fed
eral judicial system in the nation of five
civilized tribes.
Senator Vest spoke of the serious ef-
fects on the Southwestern states caused
by train robbers, hold-ups and murder
ers in the Indian country. An amend
ment proposed by him retained the COM
mittee plan of federal judicial system
over these tribes, but struck out the i'm
portant provisions for townsites and the
allotment of land among the Indians.
At 5:45 pm. the senate went into ex-

and is forever sacred.
At 8 O'Clock the consideration of the
Indian bill continued. the amendment
relating to the five civilized tribes being
discussed at great length. Senators
Teller, Platt and Hoar urged the neces-
sity of replacing the corrupt Indian
courts with an United States judicial
system. while Mr.. Villas protested
against "jamming" through an amend

The amendment as finally agreed to
gives the United States courts exclu.
