HOW HE KNEW
Judge Aitken, Testifies in the Craven
Case

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-Every
thing is not apparently harmonious
among the attorneys for Mrs Nettie r.
craven and today d. NJ Delmas, who
mas been chief counsel for Mrs. Craven
did not appear After the conclusion of
eX-Judge Athens examination the case
went over until on redirect examination
today eX-Judge Aitken explained how
he happened to tell Attorney. Wheeler
what he knew about the case. He stated
that upon visiting Wheeler's office upon
other business, Wheeler remarked that
he understood he was to be a witness for
Mrs. Craven. He denied it and when
Wheeler asked him if he knew ANYTHING
about the matter, replied that he knew
a good deal about enough at any rate
to send some people to San Quentin.
When urged by Wheeler to tell what he
knew on the ground that it was his duty
as an attorney to the public and to the.
court, and being assured that his state
ment would not be used without his con-
sent he related the whole of his con-
nection with the matter. Next night he
took the corrobating papers and photo
graphs to Wheeler's office and subse-
quently consented to histestimony being
used. Aitken then recited his acts as
superior judge in San Diego and stated
that he had BEEN indicted, tried and ac-
quilted on the charge of having refused
to- give certain instructions to the Jury
in case tried before him. He further
stated that after he had sentenced the
defendant in that case to San Quentin
for fourteen years the supreme court had
reversed the judgment in the case and
that subsequently, the defendant secured
his release through the medium of a writ
OF habeas corpus, and escaped the pen
atty.
Attorney Wheeler read the opinion of
the supreme court in the case referred
to and Aitken was thereupon excused.

BUTLER HANGED
Confessed His Guilt and PROGRESSED
Profound Penitence

SYDNEY, N. S. W., July 16.-John
Newman, alias Frank Butler convicted
of tbs murder of Captain Lee Weller in
the Blue Mountain mining district in
November, 1896. was hanged here yes
terday. He broke down at last, the re-
markable etoicism which he had exhib-
tied since his arrest in San Francisco
last February giving away, and he con-
fessed his guilt of this as well as of other
shocking crimes. He admitted that his
right name was John Newman and that
he was born of good family in Stafford
shire, England, in 1858. He professed
the profoundest penitence for his mis-
deeds and at the last moment willingly
received the religious consolation us
ually offered the condo mned. The exc
cution was effected without incident.
Few spectators were permitted, those
present being principally officers of the
court and attendants directly concerned
in carrying out the laws decree. The
case is one that has excited intense in
terest throughout the colonies and great
satisfaction is expressed in the thorough
work performed by the detectives in Sc
curing evidence leading not only to the
capture of Newman, but his speedy con-
viction and execution.

EASTERN FARES
Chairman Caldwell Has a Big Job on
Hand

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-B. D.
Caldwell, chairman of the Western Pas
senger Association, has arrived in this
city. He will try to straighten out the
tangle into which the different lines have
got into over the Christian Endeavor
business. Mr.. Caldwell said he did not
anticipate any difficulty, as the lines
through Ogden and the lines of the asso-
citation east of Colorado points had de-
cided to refuse acceptance to excursion
tickets issued after the agreed selling
date and had also issued. bulletins to
their conductors to refuse to accept En-
deavor eastbound excursion tickets with
stop-over privileges. He expected the
cooperation of the Southern Pacific
Company in the carrying out of the con-
ditions of the contracts between roads
and anticipated an amicable adjust
ment of the difficulty.
The local agents do not seem to think
that Mr.. Caldwell will be able to accom-
plish anything. He will be here about a
week and the outcome of his visit will
probably determine whether an agree
ment entered into by the Western Pas
senger Association is of any force or
value

eastern Alaska by r. C. Johnston of Los
Gatos Cal. The reports made to the

are inexhaustible.

ordered from Pittsburg and as soon as
received here steam schooner will be

DUE TO DRINK
One of Josie Mansfield's Victims Goes
Insane

NEW YORK, July 16.-The Herald
says: Robert Livingston Reade, Yale
alumnus, lawyer once reputed mill
lionaire, has been pronounced insane by
a Sheriff's jury. His fortune has dwin-
died down until his income is inconsid-
cradle. He owns lot of valueless stock
and Western property, mortgaged for
nearly as much as II would bring in the
market Mr. Reade's mental infirmity
is due to excessive drink and choral.
He is actually confined in the Bloom
ington asylum, and committee will be
appointed by the court to take charge
of his person and estate. The petition to
have him declared insane was made by
Mrs. Reade.
Mrs. Reade was Josie Mansfield, wo-
man whose career was a subject of
worldwide gossip twenty five years go.
1t was on her account that Edward S.
Stokes killed Jim Fiske, Jr., on the stairs
Of the Grand Central Hotel.
Reade met her in the summer of 1891
and they were married in October of that
year in London. They soon disagreed
and in November separated, Reade COM
ing to New York and the woman staying
in Paris. She obtained divorce in No.
Vember, 1885, Reade is a man of ex-
cellent family. His father was wealthy
resident of Minneapolis, and the son had
plenty of money. He practiced law there
and lived in lavish style. His mother
was cousin of Mrs. Levi p Morton, and
his sister married Lord Falkland of
Yorkshire, England. R@ade has at
tempted suicide and would probably kill
himself, the doctors say, if not re-
strained

WHY They Celebrate

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-The peo-
pie of Glenn and Colusa counties have
set aside July 20 as day on which to
celebate by a picnic and barbecue the
decision of the supreme court of the
United States whereby some sections OF
the irrigation law We're declared invalid
The decision was handed down on the
Esd of last June, and just one month
later, on the 23d of July, the people OF
the two counties will gather in Williams
Colusa county, to hold forth in their
demonstrations of joy. Glenn and Colu-
sa counties were originally organized
into one irrigation district. The bonds
issued to advance the work prescribed
by the irrigation law forced many of the
poorer people, it is said, to leave their
homes, because of their inability to sat
isfy the financial requirements of the
act The supreme court has decided
the law to be illegal and this decision is
the cause of the coming celebration.

YHGLAND AND FRANCE WILL
TAKE PART
Associated Press Special Wire.

WASHINGTON, July 16.--Advocates
of International bimetallism are much
encouraged by the cable reports from
London of the reception by the British
government of the joint proposal for an
international agreement made by Baron
De Courcel, the French Ambassador on
the part Of France, and by Ambassador
Hay and the special monetary ENJOYS on
the part of the United States.
The form of the proposals submitted
is not known in Washington as the au
thority to negotiate with the foreign
representatives was vested without re-
serve in the special ENJOYS of the United
States. 1t is not believed by the author
tiles here that the ENJOYS went further
than to suggest a general conference to
be held in the United States some time
next winter.
The evident willingness of the present
British government to accept an invi-
tation to participate in such conference,
leaves no doubt as to the holding of the
conference eventually. Outside of the
small group of men who are ardent be-
LEVERS in the possibility of an interna-
tional agreement, it is not generally be-
iieved, however, that an International
conference will lead to any agreement
which would justify the United States
in opening the mints to the unlimited
coinage of silver. Senator Stewart, SEN
ator Teller and Chairman Towne of the
Silver Republican organization, do not
believe that any good will come from the
conference if it is held. They advocate
coinage by the United States without
waiting for the consent of any other ma
ton. 1t is said here that even the avow-
ed bimetallists of the British government
will not go further than to hint vaguely
at the possibility of the opening of the
American minis and to talk in general
terms about keeping certain percent
age of the Bank of England reserves in
silevr. In all the reports which have
been given out about the work being done
by the special ENJOYS there has never
been suggestion that England would
agree to free coinage or anything ap-
preaching it.
Germany is another stumbling block
in the way Of an international agree
nent The German government would
gladly see the United States and coun-
tries that might be willing to join an
agreement do something which would
enhance the value of silver even temper
sriiy, for Germany has large quantity
of silver for sale. When the special en-
voys were in Berlin they could get little
encouragement and We're given to under
stand that Germany would follow the
lead in any conference that might be
called. Since that time the change iii
the German ministry has made the pos
sibllity of Germany entering into any
agreement still more remote, for Baron
Won Thieimann, who has been sum-
moned from his post as Ambassador to
the United States to become Imperial
Minister of Finance, is a strong advo-
cate OF the maintenance of the gold
standard by the German empire.

A Void Tribunal

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16-The po-
lice court of the city of Stockton has
been declared a void tribunal and the
statute under which it was created is
unconstitutional. A justice of the peacs
who was acting as police judge sen
fenced l.. Giambonini to pay a fine OF
$1cO or be imprisoned for 100 days fol
selling intoxicating liquors to a minor
petition in habeas corpus, attacking
the validity of the statute creating the
office, was filed in the superior court.
The validity of the sentence in not per-
hitting the defendant the alternative of
Imprisonment at the rate of 81 for every
days Imprisonment was also attacked
The court declared the statute unconsti-
tutional, but did not touch the second
point.
