SUBSTITUTE CARRIERS.
Eleven More Are Appointed by Postmaster Montague From the
 Civil Service Eligibles.

Postmaster Montague yesterday made appointments of substitute carriers from the civil service list in addition to the forty substitute carriers already in ser vice. the approach of the postoffice vaca- ton season. when many of the regular carriers will take their much-needed rest, and the fact that the number of subsu- tute carriers was cut down from fifty to forty some months ago, rendering this increase in the force imperatively neces- sary. The following are the names or the appointees:
 Henry S. Dunn. Edward V. Atkinson, George A. Ross Frank E. Wyse, William R. Foster. William H. Houlihan, Fred A. Former, Otto H. von Lowenfels, Charles w. Dunn, James T. Walsh and William H. Barry.

MRS. EVA HARRISON.

BERKELEY, March 30-The Halsey
 murder was the chief topic of comment to-day in Berkeley, where both the mur- dered man and his slayer, as well as the
 woman over whom the men had quar-
 reled, are we'll known.
 According to Charles D. Haines. at
 whose home Halsey met his tragic death, the events which led up to the killing
 make a pathetic story of a man who
 risked and lost his life fn an effort to protect woman from the evil influence of former companions. Miss Eva Fenton, the adopted daughter of Joseph Fenton, a South Berkeleyan of some means, had been neglected by her folks and aban- doned by a worthless husband whom she had married just a year ago to-day. She. was without means of support for herself
 and child when Mrs. Haines brought her
 to her home and undertook to free her
 from the influence of her former sur roundings. In her new home she ire quently received the attentions of Halsey. who was an old friend of the Haines family. Rogers, the murderer, was also an admirer of Mrs. Harrison. He had i called once at the Haines residence, but had been requested both by Haines and Mrs. Harrison to remain away. In addi-
 ton to this Halsey had warned him to
 stay away and to cease annoying Mrs. Harrison under penalty of being
 thrashed. When Halsey started in to ad-
 minister the thrashing last night, Rogers
 killed him.
 Haines places no credence in Rogers
 plea that he killed Halsey in self-de-
 fense. Both Haines and his wife, who were standing a the door when the shot was fired, declare that Halsey rushed out after Rogers with his hands in the air, and that he had no weapon of any kind in his hand. Haines declares that so far as he knew Halsey was in the habit of going entirely unarmed, and that he is a revolver. Halsey's brother-in-law Robert Hunter, with whom he lives, cor roborates this statement
 The finding of a razor in one of Hal sey's pockets, however, would seem to in- dicate that he was not of so peaceable a disposition as some Of his friends SUD- posed. The razor was nicked and rusty | and did not appear to have been used for l some time. Moreover, Halsey had quar- 1 reed with others and had separated from | his wife, from whom he received a divorce | some time ago. He had quarreled, among i others, with James Overall, a Dwight way. cigar dealer, and the latter obtained Q | warrant for Halseys arrest for battery, ! although Halsey was never convicted on | the charge. A number of other Berkeleyans | declare that Halsey was of a qUarrelsome | disposition and had at one time drawn a | knife upon man.
 An autopsy was held this afternoon at | the Berkeley branch morgue on the body | of the murdered man. It was found that

Rodgers, land he was naturally careful. When Halsey was searched after his death a razor was found in his pocket that could not possibly have been used for shaving, and it is but natural to presume he carried it for other purposes. On former occasion I understand that Halsey used a knife in disturbance and this fact was known to my brother. We have engaged attorneys and shall contest the prosecution every step of the way.
 Rodgers was very nervous to-day, and has been told by his attorneys to say nothing. He Is following their advice

SIGNIFICANT VOTE TO BE TAKEN

Had successive secretaries of the
treasury, Democratic as we'll as Republi
can, obeyed the letter and spirit Of the
law in paying obligations Of the govern
ment in legal tender money, the So
called "silver question" would not today
rise up to alright the elements which
have vitalized it and forced it to issue;
the panic of '93 would have been averted;
the commercial value of silver would not
have been forced down. the Indian mints
metal and the parity of gold and silver
would not have been seriously disturbed
1t was the arbitrary and unauthorized
surrender by the secretary of the treas
ury of the option which the law gave
to him in satisfying obligations of the
government in the money with which
at the time the treasury should be most
literally supplied that cast the first sus-
picion upon silver as debt paying
money and provoked the organized con-
test that has ever since been waged
against it.
The passage of the Sherman law had
the effect, for the time being, of restor-
ing confidence, and it is a historical fact
that the price in the open market ad-
vanced twenty-four points almost i'm
mediately, and gave promise Of being
at a parity with gold within a month.
The author of the law (Which, by the
way, was antagonized by silver men be-
cause it placed a limitation upon the
amount of silver to be coined monthly
and discredited it to that eXtent) doubt
less knew what the ultimate effect would
be, and was perhaps, himself willing to
await the slow working out of the
process; but the affrighted money

tics. And If the ambitious man happens
to own newspaper 1t affords a quick
and easy method of paying political
debts.
Thus 1t Is in Los Angeles. The "push"
Of the Democratic party and the pull
of the Republican party, being threat
ened with punishment If not with ex-
termination, by the respectable people
of the community, have become the AL
lied Villainies. They have made COM
mon cause with the bosses and the gangs
of San Francisco, because the purifica-
tion of city may be the permanent re-
demption of state. The San Francisco
bosses have passed the word to their
local organs, which have promptly pro-
ceeded to make war upon good govern
ment in Los Angeles.
But what has all this to do with the
water question? Simply that the issue
of the water controversy has been raised
in order to weaken the fight that is be-
ing made against the Allied Villainies,
and to draw the attention of the public
from them, so that they may be permit
ted to exist in peace and continue to
plunder with profit.

THE GOLDEN JUBILEE

The proud significance of Califor-
MAS present celebration appeals to ev-
cry man, woman and child inhabiting
the golden state. No community on
earth can point to a more remarkable
history of fifty years. The development,
founded on the enterprise of such brave
spirits as Marshalls and his fellow pio-
neers, has been extraordinarily rapid
and yet stable, while no man dare proph-
esy of the glorious possibilities of the
future. Since Marshall made his dis
covery of gold in the tailrace of Suffers
mill at Coloma, California has contrib
uted 81, 1852 1885, ,S97 to the wealth of ma
tions or nearly % per cent of the total
output of gold throughout the world.
With the fact before us that scientific
mining is still in it's infancy, what a
record may be in store when Californ-
ians come to celebrate the centenary of
the discovery.
The local celebrations yesterday
while of more modest and limited ma
ture than those in progress this week in
San Francisco, We're fairly characters
tic of the native wealth and resources of
Southern California and even more a
tribute to the energy and enterprise of its
Inhabitants. 1t is we'll occasionally to
pause and ponder on the goodly heritage
that we are privileged to enjoy.
