Republican Leaders Pianning to Get
the Democrats Ont.

the Democrats Out.
The Republican machine is at work.
What Il will bring forth remains TO be
seen but Il IS said that another attack
on civil-service rights and privileges is
under consideration. Colonel brady,
Judge Waddin Postmaster Weisiger. Of
Manchester; Morgan Treat, and severa!
other Republicans met in the office OF the
Internal Revenue Collector yesterday
afternoon, anD considered several impor.
tant matters come ted with the policy
20 DE followed in local affairs POST
master Weisiger was called into consulta-
ton, and the civii-service list was con-
sidered. The political affiliations OF all
who have passed the examination for
positions IN the Manchester post-office
were inquired into. and Il was pretty
well determined that no Democrat shall
be appointed. With Colonel Brady as
legal mentor Il is safe to say that the
letter OF the law will not be violated.
Until recently there were several mem
bers OF the Brady-Waddil faction--nota-
bly,, Colonel Brady himself-who express
ed themselves as opposed to the ousting
of deputies In the customs office But,
yielding TO the sentiment OF the rank
otheI influences brought to bear there
has been a change Of front in the last
few days. and the machine Is solidly ar
rayed against what Is contemporary
termed Democratic service rules There
Is now no longer any doubt that when
Collector Bethel comes TO his own next
Monday morning be will be compelled to
follow the dictates Of the men who Sc
cured the office for him, and will In due
course of time make a clean sweep of
the customs office. Colonel Brady is
prepared TO wager a suit OF clothes on
the result OF the Attorney Generals de-
alterations as to the validity and legality
OF his action In turning deputies out OF
his office when he took charge.
IL is almost foregone conclusion that
Mr.. Treat viii get the marshalship. and
the liveliest interest now centres round
the race for the Richmond postmaster
ship. with Wray 4. Knight strong favor |

LED A GAY LIFE
ON STOLEN FUNDS
The Earl Fruit Company at
Sacramento Robbed by
al Employe.
Conf1entia Bookkeeper Rue
Placed Under Arrest for
Embezzlement.
Said to Have Stolen Thousands to
Defray His Expenses as
Leader in Society.

SACRAMENTO CAL, March 2.-J. O.
the position of con fidential bookkeeper for
the Earl Fruit Company in this city, has
been arrested on charge OF mbezzle-
ment, preferred by George B. Katzen-
stein, manager. The sums of which he
has defrauded the company have prob
ably amounted to thousands of dollars |;
in fact it is claimed that he has admitted
having taken $4,000. At the present time
it is impossible to ascertain the full
amount of his peculations.
1t Is claimed that the company DOS
sessei proofs of Rue's embezzlements for
some time, but has refrained from taking
steps toward his punishment. because of
his high connections and on account of
his family. He is related, it is said, to the
McDonalGs of San Francisco. But within
the past weeks Rue has been an active
agent in promulgating a company known
as the Blue Canyon Water Company. and
as many of the most intimate friends of
the manager of the Earl Fruit Company
were induced to invest heavily in the
stock of the concern. Rue to have the
management of these funds, it was deemed
advisable to place him under arrest.
Rue during his residence in this city
has been respected by all of his associates.
His being ''joly good fellow led to his
downfall.
The fact that he had been guilty of en-
bezzling the funds of the company in order
to hold his social position was discovered.
it is claimed. through certain claims made
by private shippers against the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company, through the
agency of the Earl Fruit Company for
damages sustained to fruit en- route to
marke'. THESE persons made a demand
on the Earl Fruit Company for their
money, having previously ascertained that
the claims had been liquidated by the
Southern Pacific Company, and investiga-
tions brought to light the fact that Rue
had used the funds to his personal benefit.
The arrest of Rue was kept secret, and
the newa of his disgrace will be q shock to
his acquaintances in Sacramento.

Some English Statesmen Not In 6cc0rd
Hith Salisbury.
LONDON, ENG, March I'm the House
OF Commons to-day George n. Curzon, the
Under Foreign Secretary, read kilograms
received from the British Consul at Canea
saying that the Mussulmaps in the island
of Crete had declared that they would not
consent 10 union OF Crete with Greece,
and placed high hopes In the action of the
great powers to prevent it. The admiral
commanding the British warships in
Creian waters, Curzon said, wired that the
flags which are hoisted al Selino, Kandamo
and Ekritons show that those towns are
under the protection of the powers. The
Moslems at tAose places, however. are in
great danger OF being massacred. The
dispatch added that a report was in circu-
lation that Christians were exterminaling
Moslems wherever they went.
Sir William Harcourt raised debate on
the statement made by Lord Salisbury in
the House of Lords on February 25 declar-
ing the policy which the Government in
tended to pursue in regard to Crete, in
volvlng the autonomy OF that island and
the withdrawal of the Turkish and Greek
naval and military forces, and threa tening
to impose force in the event of the refusal
of Greece or Turkey to withdraw their
farces when requested to do so. He began
by asking whether the powers had as
sented 10 the proposals, and Power, pur-
SUN. the subject, inquired how far it was
believed that the autonomy of the island
would rid the island OF Turkish. rule, which
was the cause OF the present evil.
Curzon said that the powers would not
allow Crete to be taken out of their hands,
as the arrival of the Greek forces upon the
island had excited the Christians and in
furiated the Moslems.
In the House of Lords to-day the Earl
OF Kim berly raised debate upon the SUBJ
ject of Lord Salisburv's statement of Feb
ruary 25 by asking questions similar to
those asked by Sir William Harcourt in
the House of Commons, adding that in
his opinion it would have been wiser to
have joined Crete with Greece than to
have given the island an autonomous ad-
ministration.
After remarks on the subject by other
Peers the House ad journed.

IN JAIL At SELMA.
M. and Mrs. Myers, Who abandoned d
Their Baby. Unable 10 Supply
Bonds

FRESNO, CAL, March "A. FL. Myers
and wife, who were arrested last night,
were taken to Selma to-day and arraigned
on charge of having abandoned their in
fant child on the doorstep of Rev. J..
Baugh's residence in that town about two
weeks ago. Justice Tucker placed them
under $4,000 bail each pending the pre-
Iiminary examination. The prisoners
have as yet been unable to supply bonds.
Because OF the popularity of Mr.. and
Mrs. Myers and their hitherto good repu-
tation, their arrest has caused much dis
cussion. Mr.. Myers has teen an engineer
on the Southern Pacific Railroad in this
valley for many years and is widely
known. The two attending physicians
and the nurse will testify that Mrs. Myers
gave birth to child about three months
ago and has not had the babe since the
time the attempt was made to dispose
of it.
The purpose OF Mr.. and Mrs. Myers in
trying to get rid of their child was to
avoid the disgrace resulting from a post
poned marriage. Thew were welded only
few months ago. Fresno is the end of
the railroad division and Myers had been
making his home here. In the hope OF
saving themselves from disgrace he and
his wife went to Selma, fifteen miles
south of here, to live temporarily, as no
one knew them there.
The prisoners are in very awkward
position and the authorities are deter
mined to prosecute them for their foolish
ness.
