TONS OF FISH
GIVEN FREEDOM
Second Raid on Santa
Cruz Island.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA BARBARA, May 9.-Deputy
Sheriff Hopkins and Game Warden c.
A. Loud returned at midnight last
night from Santa Cruz Island with
three more fishermen arrested for hay
ing violated the State and county game
and fish laws. These, with the five
who were brought over several days
ago, complete the force Of men in the
employ of the San Pedro Canning Fac
tory, whose depredations were called 10
the attention of the State Fish Com
mission and the Game Warden. They
have been shipping tons Of crawfisn to
San Pedro from these islands IN viola
ton of the law, under which the season
closed on May l.
Twenty-one cages of fish, containing
about ten tons, were found and liber-
ated. These had been caught recently
and were just being put aboard d YES
sci for shipment 10 the factory.
OF the first five men arrested on
Santa Cruz, two have pleaded guilty
and paid heavy fines. The case of an
other was heard before Judge Wheaton
and a jury to-day, the District Attor-
ney representing the prosecution ana
II. G. Booth the defendant, Peter Lind.
Lind was accused of having taken and
had in his possession two tons of live
crawfish on May 5, 1899 The closed
season on crawfish begins on April 10.
The case will go to the jury tomorrow
morning. From the questions pro-
pounded to the jurors and the witnesses
it seems that the defense will be that
the waters surrounding Santa Cruz
Island are not within the jurisdiction
of the State; that the boundaries OF
the State while extending three Eng
lish miles from the main land, take in
the islands but not the waters sur
rounding them; that the ordinance of
the Supervisors providing for pun
ishment for having crawfish in posses
sion during the close season without
specifying where they were taken is
extraterritorial and beyond the juris-
diction Of the Board of Supervisors.
The captain of the San Pedro Com
pany'S schooner and his mate were the
only witnesses for the defendants.
Charles VOgelsang, secretary of the
State Fish and Game Commission, was
in attendance and helped the prosecu-
ton.
Santa Cruz Island has been claimed
by Mexico and has been disputed
ground for many years. Like Santa
Rosa Island. owned by the A. p. More
estate, and San Miguel owned by Cap
tain w. G. Waters, Santa Cruz Island
is a principality in itself. A number
of years ago a. p. More, who had
murdered Chinaman, escaped punish
ment for his crime because the trial
Judge ruled that the waters surround
ing the islands were not under the
States jurisdiction. 1t is currently un-
derstood that the case tried to-day is
a test in the interest of the San Pedro
Company, although this is denied by
the attorney for the defense. The craw-
fish industry of the islands, it is esti-
mated. is worth several hundred thou
sand dollars a year to the Gamers

ACCUSED OF HAVING
UTTERED A FORGERY
Fresno Politician Charged With Com
plicity in a Plot to
Defraud

FRESNO, May 9.-W. Z. Rushing is in
tail here, charged with having uttered a
forged instrument Edwin Geddes, who
lives up in the hills, had an account with
the Fresno Loan and Savings Bank
amounting to between $500 and $l700 Ell
mer Geddes aScertained that fact in some
manner and in January he and certain
other persons it is believed, formed a
plot to obtain the money. The real de-
positor wrote his name as "E. Geddes,"
which, of course, was the name of the
other Geddes. The latter is q step-brother
of Mrs. j. w. Shanklin. wife of the de-
faulting City Clerk In the latter part OF
January or early in February Shanklin
sent Geddes and Rushing to the office OF
Frank Kauke to have the attorney draw
up power of attorney from z. Geddes
to Rushing. The instrument was drawn
up by the attorney and submitted to e.
+. Bernhard of the bank who in turn
submitted it to the banks attorney, Hor-
ace Halves. The latter examined It with
q lawyers scrutiny and advised Mr..
that 1t did not give Rushing power
enough--in other words. that the bower
of attorney was not broad enough to
fully protect the bank. Rushing was an
prised of that fact and secured a new
power of attorney.
The new instrument gave him control
Of the funds in the bank and he sold MS
interest TO Nyman Levy of this CITY for
S11GO. 1t was Levy who swore to the war
rant for his arrest tonight Rushing is
one of the best known men IN the county
and has for some time been a private de-
tectiVe and politician.

FIGHTING AGAINST THE
ORDINATION OF BRIGGS
There Is a Threat to Take Action
Against Bishop Potter if He
Admits the Doctor

NEW YORK. May "a Sun special
from Milwaukee, Wis, says: Bishop
Nicholson OF the Episcopal diocese of
Milwaukee said to-day that if Rev. Dr.
Charles A. Briggs of New York is or
dained to priesthood in the Episcopal
church Bishop Potter will have to answer
for his action to the board of Bishops.
Bishop Nicholson says that many west
ern Bishops are protesting against the
proposed ordination, and that the board
OF Bishops will not let the matter go by
without a trial if Bishop Potter carries
out his intention. Bishop Nicholson said:
"While some Of the western Bishops have
protested to Bishop Potter in writing. l
have not taken part in the controversy.
Bishop Potter is an older man than l.
and 7 therefore could hardly gracefully
tell him what to do; but, nevertheless, 1
am utterly opposed TO the ordination of
DR.. Briggs. / believe that Bishop Potter
will be called to account if he ordains
him.. Bishop Potter is responsible and
can be tried by the board of Bishops If
it is found that he has ordained a man
unworthy of the office.

wealth rested it's case to-day in that

Tense Attorney Burleigh said the de-
Tense in the case would be insanity, the
direct result of shocks sustained at the
time of the prisoners father dropping
dead at the breakfast table some
some months previous to the murder.
Miss Bertha Beilstein was the first

tween her father and herself and the
effect his sudden death had on her.

shock, one from which 1 have never re-
covered and never will. I lost interest
in everything I lost sleep. 1 fell off

LEGAL CONTEST FOR
AN IMMENSE TRACT
David Jacks Claim to Pueblo Lands
of the City of Monterey
Is Argued

SALINAS. May 9.-The case of the city
of Monterey VS.. David Jacks and others
to determine title to some $4,000 acres of
land known as the Pueblo Lands of the
city of Monterey, was tried before Judge
Dorm to-day. Jacks claims this land by
virtue of a deed dated February, 1888, in
which ]. Burke Phillips, J. d. Callaghan
and Salvador Osce as trustees of Mon
terey City. for a consideration Of $1002 so,
sold the lands to d. r. Ashley and David
lacks. The sale was made under author
ity of an act of the State Legislature to
nav the city's Indebtedness to Ashley for
legal services. Ashley in 1865 sold his in
terests TO Jacks On the other side, the
city of Monterey claims that the act Of
the trustees in making the sale was Illegal
in that it is a recognized doctrine of law
that no sale of Pueblo lands could be
made in one lump.
The case was holly contested and much
documentary evidence was offered, after
which it was submitted to Judge Dorm for
decision. AS there are numerous
ranches and town settlements on these
disputed lands, disturbance of title would
affect a large number of people.

SCHOONER LOYAL
PROBABLY LOST
Small Hope for Those
Aboard.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, May 9.-It now seems
probable that the schooner Loyal, which
sailed from Seattle one year ago for
Kotzebue Sound, Alaska, with twelve
persons on board. is lost. She was due
to return last fall, but her non appear
ance caused no particular anxiety, as
it was thought the party might have
decided to winter in the north. This
consolation has been taken away by the
receipt Of a letter from St. Michael,
was stated the schooner would sail for
Seattle in two or three days The let
ter has Just been received by Mrs Isaac
Taylor of this city, whose husband was
aboard the schooner.
Captain G. d. Jones of the schooner
Moonlight, who sailed from St Michael
September "A. says the Loyal sailed be-
fore him. He stopped at Dutch Harbor
two weeks, but heard nothing OF the
Loyal. He reports the schooner to have
been in a bad condition and there is no
question in his mind that she foundered
in one Of the the storms that prevailed
in Bering Sea the latter part of Sep
TENDER. Those who sailed from here on
the Loyal were:
F. z. Addleman, leader of the expedi-
ton. He has a wife and five children
living in this city.
o. D. Butterfield, formerly Chief of
Police of Seattle.
Captain Johnson. a Scandinavian.
chief navigator.
Hagen z. Weickes, assistant navi-
gator.
- Nelson of Seattle.
- Donohue of Seattle.
Isaac Taylor a cigarmaker. of Seat
tie.
- Blackwell of Seattle
There were four others whose names.
with one exception, are unknown. One
is said to have been a Nebraska man.
The man. whose name is known was
Stevens, and in connection with him
an interesting story is told He was
a prisoner in the State penitentiary at
Walla Walla, where Addleman and
Butterfield were turkeys. He claimed
TO know of a spot in Alaska where gold
could be found. On this representation
he succeeded in getting friends to OBJ
tain his pardon and organized the ex-
petition. 1t developed from letters re-
ceived after the expedition left here
that Stevens had misrepresented
things. Owing to trouble he caused
he was put ashore on an island this
side of KOtzebue Sound with a supply
Of provisions and his personal effects.

MILLIONS AGAINST HIM.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Brigham H.
Roberts has now been a fugitive from
Justice for fourteen days.
Within the past eight days more
than one million signatures have been
collected in the various States Of the
Union and forwarded to the Journal
for its big anti-polygamy petition to
Congress.
The three thousand or more mem-
bers of the Anti-Polygamy League are
sending by every mail many thousand
names, and the petition is assuming
tremendous proportions.
The men and women who are COL
lecting the signatures are adherents of
both political parties, and represent all
Christian religious denominations.
This fact alone disproves the idea
that politics has anything to do with
the present crusade in the interest of
the sanctity and purity of the Ameri-
can home.
/, Never before in the history Of public
movements has there been such tre-
mendous volume of signers to a petit
ton as in the case of the Examiner
Journals protest against the admission
to Congress of polygamist Roberts of
Utah.
