GEORGE Q. cR0SSLEYS
 APPEAL ES DENIED.
United Stntes Supreme Court AMrns the Rulings Of lower Federal
 Tribunal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. s-In the Su- preme Court of the United States to- day the appeal of George D. Crossley from the decision of the Circuit Court for the Northern District of California. denying him a writ of habeas corpus, was dismissed. Crossley was one of the railroad rioters in California in the summer of 1895. and was charged with being responsible for the death of railroad engineer, caused by the derail- ing of a train. In the State court he was found guilty and sentenced. It was sought to bring the case into the United States courts on the ground that the derailed train was a mail train. but the court held that there was no statute under which the case could have been tried in the United States courts, and held that the application for habeas corpus was properly denied by the Circuit Court.

Fire Destroys Two Big. Storage Buildings at
 Stockton.
At Least Ten Thousand Tons of Wheat Consumed by
 the Flames.
Bremen Handicapped by the Corru- qated Iron Roofs of the
 Doomed Structures.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, Jan. At 12:10 this morning fire was discovered in ware house No. of the Farmers Union and Milling Company, and before the de- partment could respond the flames were beyond possible control, despite the fact that the warehouse district has much better protection than it had a year ago.
 Warehouses and were quickly. on fire, and as they. both had corrugated iron roofs the firemen were not able to put drop of water on the flames until the roofs dropped, and then the structures were gone
 As soon as it was seen that neither warehouse could be saved the atten- ton of the department was turned to saving the warehouse of the navigation separated from No. only by a fire wall, and the Eureka Crown Mills warehouse, which had only the same protection from No. 5.
 Streams were withdrawn from the central portion of the doomed struc- lures and set at work on the ends with some effect, and by continuous fight ing against the iron sides and roofs of the burning buildings which helped to shut them off the firemen were suc- ceSSful.
 The warehouses were we'll filled with grain, for both the Union and its clients have been among those who were waiting for the price of wheat to advance. The lowest estimate on the amount of wheat destroyed is 10000 tons, and many put it higher.
 There was besides considerable bar ley and rye. Much of the grain was the property of the union, but by far the largest proportion was held on storage by the farmers of the Valley
 The loss is placed at more than S5OO,OO0, though the territory covered by the fire was not large The loss on the warehouses will be heavy, though both of the buildings and the grain were insured for a reasonable large share of their value.
 The fire started in the machinery of a grader and cleaner which was located near the western end of No. g. and which was kept running night and day. Some part of the machinery is supposed to have caught fire though when first discovered by Night Waterman Ken yon it was almost beyond control.
 The warehouses are built partly on a pile foundation along the bank of the channel. While the firemen were fight ing the flames two other alarms were turned in from other portions of the city, but fortunately they amounted to nothing. The steamer Ellen, with the barge Cricket, was lying alongside No. 6, taking on cargo, but was lowed out of danger by rowboats.
 The fire continues to burn in the great piles of wheat, which are in places as high as the warehouses themselves, and they will continue to smolder for days. There has been some slight damage in parts of the other two warehouses by smoke.

WILLIS CLEARED
 OF THE CHARGES
Los Angeles County's Assistant District Attorney Not a
 BoOdler.
Serious Allegation Tn at He "Squared Murderer's Case Falls to
 the Ground.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3.-The charges made against Assistant District At torney Frank K. Willis have entirely fallen to the ground. It was alleged that Willis had dismissed a murder prosecution against Frank Phillips and that he had been influenced to do so from improper motives
 The matter came up before Superior Judge Smith in Department l of the Superior Court this morning. Deputy District Attorney McComas asked Judge Smith for permission to make a statement. He then announced that MT. Willis had had absolutely nothing to do with the prosecution of Phillips. MT. McComas said that he alone had dismissed the murder charge against him for the reason that the evidence was not sufficient to secure a convic- tion. He defied any one to prove that his action was the subject of just criticism.
 Judge Smith then exonerated MT. Willis of the charges made against him. Attorney Le Compte Davis. who defended Phillips at the time his trial was on, announced that his client was in the courtroom and that if Judge Smith thought anything improper had been done in the matter Phillips was willing to waive all past proceedings and again stand for trial as the pris- oner at the bar. Judge Smith declined to accept the proffer and dismissed the whole proceeding.

LEAGUE FORCES GAIN A VICTORY
 OVER MR. WEBB
CbdrleS C. Davis Elected Pres ideDt of tbe Boord of
 Education.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3.-In the cleo tfon of Charles Cassat Davis as presi- dent of the City Board of Education tonight. the League for Better City Government won decided victory over the Webb forces. This means a com plete reorganization of all the commit tees of the board and the relegation of Webb and his friends to virtual obscur- ity. so far as the board is concerned. Davis is one of the two members who were elected to the board as the nomi- nees of the league alone.
 The election of a new chairman of the board was the special purpose for which the meeting was called. All the members were present with the ex- ception of McInerney, who has been looked upon as Webb man. His ab- sence was viewed as an indication that the iron hand" of Webb had lost it's grip upon him. There was considerable hEbustering. Immediately the meeting was called to order the Webb faction, seeking to gain postponement of the election on the ground that a full board was not present, hoping evident ly that the postponement would serve to strengthen its cause, Bartlett moved for an adjournment of the meeting un- til next Monday night. Conrey claimed the motion was not in order, as chair man must De elected on the 0rSt Mon day in January. The point of order was declared to be well taken, and Conrey moved to proceed with the cleo tion
 Webb argued for postponement. on the ground that there was not a full board present. Davis claimed there was no good reason why McInerney could not be present and claimed his absence ought not to defer action. Kubach, the newly elected member who takes the place of Adams, was in favor of delay until tomorrow night. and made motion to that effect: but after Braly spoke and called attention to the fact that eight out of nine was a pretty good attendance Kubach with drew his motion.
 The motion to proceed to the election of chairman was then carried by vote of to 3. the noes being Bartlett, Poor and Webb. Conrey nominated Davis for chairman and Bartlett per formed the same service for Poor. Both nominees refrained from voting and Davis was elected chairman by the votes of Braly, Conrey, Kubach and Mathis.
 Before the meeting adjourned Davis and Conrey introduced resolutions which are for the purpose of improving the present system of letting contracts for school supplies. providing for a method of checking up such supplies and for better method of appointing and promoting teachers.

JOCKEYS AND TRAINERS BARRED.

NEW YORK, Jan.s 3.-At meeting to-day of the directors of the Horse mems Protective Association a resolu- tion was adopted excluding jockeys and trainers, unless horse owners, from membership in the association. Matthew Byrnes was elected a direc- tor. AS a result of the resolution adopted the resignations of several jockeys and trainers were received and accepted.
 Jockey Frederick Littlefield, who has been employed by A. H. and D. H. Morris for many years, not only re- signed from the Horsemen's Associ- ation, but also gave up his position. Criticism because of his connection with the association is said to be at the bottom of his action.

from which he resigned in the fall of 1883 to engage in banking and raisn growing at Fresno. Since then he has been actively engaged in banking and has been a resident of this city for six years.
 Mr. Braly, in an interview to-day, made an attempt to explain and eX- cuse the discounting of warrants by saying 1t was done as matter of ac- commodation to the original warrant owners and not as a matter of busi- ness. In reference to the warrant of Miss M. E. O'Brien of San Francisco for $225, cashed by the Southern Cali fornia Savings Bank, MT. Braly said:
 Miss OBrien came to the bank while l was there with note from Secretary Johnson. am not sure if it was a note She may have come on sugges- uon from him that we could help her out. Alter some talk with her, the matter having been referred to me by the cashier, l decided to take her claim. l did this only after I had a conversa- tion with MT. Johnson over the tele- phone. He told me everything was all right and l knew there was money in the fund. Then l instructed the cash fer to cash the warrant. It was done simply as matter of accommodation to the lady. She was anxious to get away from San Francisco, and there was not to be a meeting of the board for at least a week to come.''
 MT. Braly stated that at different times the bank had been induced to cash teachers warrants each fall. Asked why this was done in violation of the law, he said:
 Occasionally it happens that they are a little short in the fund from which the teachers are paid, and the teachers find it necessary to cash their warrants. Occasionally one of our cus- toners brings in a warrant and asks us as a special favor to him to cash it. They usually, if not always, place the money to their own account, leav- ing it to draw on. The bank has never cashed one of those warrants except at the solicitation of a teacher and as a special accommodation, and, I think, charged less than any other bank would have done. It was not done as a matter of business at all; only to oblige one of our customers for a short time. I don't think it would amount, at any time, to $500 in one fall. The bank had done this before I became a member of the Board of Education We made it a point to do 1t only when we had to do so to save our customers I told them at the bank to charge the teachers as little as possible-just enough to pay for the trouble of col lecting."

DIRECTOR WEBB'S STATEMENT.

IN connection with the charges 5 made against Director Webb of the Board of Education. which he claims were preferred as the result of a conspiracy to ruin him, Mir. Webb has given to The Call the following signed statement regarding the trouble:
 The first trouble that arose in connection with the School Board occurred early in the history of the present board-in fact, at the time of its organization.
 In the city election of 1896, a new party or organization, call ing itself the League for Better City Government, entered the field, and either put up a ticket of its own, or indorsed nominees of other parties. Charles Cassat Davis and J. H. Braly were the only members of the Board of Education elected by the League for Better City Government. without the assistance of any of the other political parties. There were five other members elected who had been indorsed by the league.
