JEALOUS RAGE
BALKS JUSTICE
Suspect Dier Supplied
With Wine.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, June 10.-The laurels
which Sheriff Taylor and Detective Glib
son deemed themselves in a fair way to
earn by obtaining a confession of guilt
from James Dier, the suspected murderer
of old Pete Lorraine, have been
whisked almost out of sight, thanks to
the misdirected efforts of % San francisco
daily. The officials claim that, baffied IN
the scheme to make of the Marin author
tiles tools to be used in preparing saffron
fakes on a Malta Society that never en-
listed and female Sherlock Holmes that
sprang armed and booted from a per-
fervid Imagination, an Examiner special
commissioner and 6 local ,as asststat1e IS ra
suits of which may be to defeat the ends
Cf justice.
For two days DER has been exceedingly
nervous and almost on the point OF col
lapse. Several times he has become so
desperate that Taylor and Gibson have
managed to obtain conflicting statements
as regards his actions and Whereabouts
Yesterday evening Dier said companion
was with him on the Monday night when
the aged woodchopper disappeared and
that this companion departed Tor Menuo-
cino County the next morning. He re-
fused to give the mans name, and when
his assertions were proved false he ran
into an adjoining cell and flung himself
upon cot. The two officials left him
alone, satisfied that in a few hours they
would be able to learn everything they
eApeCleQ.
Three hours later they visited Dier
again, and were astounded to find him
under the influence of liquor. He refused
to make any statement and threatened
to thrash both Taylor and Gibson. y
search disclosed the fact that he had been
supplied with a bottle of wine. Dier first
said the wine had been given to him by an
Examiner reporter, but afterward admit
ted that the reporter had sent it to him
by Deputy Sheriff Lucas.
An investigation showed that Lucas,
who is regarded as an exemplary officer.
had been going the rounds of the saloons
during the evening with the Examiner
men and had afterward went to Dier's
cell and given him the wine. Lucas ad-
mitted his indiscretion and was severely
reproved by the Sheriff. Gibson said it
was the most peculiar thing he had ever
known to be done in a case where a man
was charged with so grave an offensc
Dier was not only given the wine to brace
him up but was told not to confess that
not scrap of evidence had been obtained
against him. and he would soon be re-
leased on q writ of habeas corpus.
Detective Miles A. Bolger of Curtin )
Agency went to Carson Canyon this MORN
ing and will remain there tonight seeking
evidence He believes with Taylor and
Gibson that Dier is the guilty man. The
latter two officials will make an extended
search for Lorraine's body tomorrow and
are confident the mystery will be cleared
in a short time.

FRUIT GROWERS
FIGHT MONOPOLY
The cooperative Move
Gains AdherentS.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LODI, June 10.-The fruit growers of
this end of San Joaquin County have de-
cided to fight the old fruit transportation
and selling companies and sell for them
selves. A rousing convention was neld
here this afternoon, nearly every fruit
grower in the neighborhood being present
to listen to arguments in favor of the in
dependent transportation line and to what
might be said against the proposition as
we'll. 1t was believed that persons in SYM
Pathy with the Earl and Porter companies
would make a strong stand against the
proposed new line, but nothing of the kind
occurred.
The meeting was called to order by w.
F. Lovdal of the State executive commit
tee. ]. d. Huffman was elected perIna-
nent chairman and f. B. Mills secretary.
r. d. Stephens, chairman of the State
executive committee, made strong
speech for organization. He showed the
power of the fruit grower III an entirely
new phase, proving that the grower made
1t possible for the Earl-Porter trust to ex-
ist or to go out of business unless new
rates were established and honest returns
made. He spoke of the actual cost of
cars, ice, ETC., from actual experience,
saying he had been forced to handle HIS
own fruit or dig up his orchards. He told
of the unhappy experience of growers in
other places who were under the control
of the combine, as the local growers would
surely be unless they organized for mutual
protection. He made very plain and
convincing speech.
Rattling speeches were delivered by Mr..
Lovdal and State Treasurer Calvin. They
were to the effect that while other COM
panies were ready TO promise lower rates
and fairer treatment it was all done to
keep out opposition and control the en-
tire fruit output of the State closer than
ever
Subscriptions to the capital stock of
$500 900 were called for and in few min
utes thirty-one shares had been signed
for, amounting to $1,000. Other growers
agreed to sign for stock in few days
and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed.
Nearly every fruit man appeared to think
the move for an independent refrigerator
line grand idea, though some doubt that
anything could be done this year. 1t is
admitted that a strong organization will
| be formed here, hoping in time to en-
brace all of the growers. majority
of the growers here are not bound to
the outside combines and are free to
combine for themselves on an independ-
ent system.
II. l.. Gibbs of the Gibbs Irons Com
pany said after the meeting that the
Santa Fe line would give the local grow
ers good inducements to use its cars, in
timating that a cut in rates would be
made if that line obtained the business.
The Santa Fe people offered cars by July

DOES NOT PLEASE
ALL The GERMANS
Comment on Purchase
Of Carolines.
Copyrighted, 1899, by the Associated Press


BERLIN, June 1O.-The cession OF the
South Sea Islands to Germany focused
attention during the week. A curious fea-
ture was that while on RECEIPT of the news
the press as well as everybody else at
first expressed satisfaction, this changed
radically as the week advanced and the
terms of the bargain became known. Not
only did the radical and socialist press
severely criticize the terms as exorbitant
and far beyond the value of the islands,
but a large portion of the press rejecting
the views of other parties did the same.
Prince Bismarcks saying in 1885, charac-
teriZing the CarolineS as lumperel, is
quoted. According to the latest official
statistics German trade in the islands for
several years has not exceeded two nun
dred marks yearly, and no German ax-
ports have been sold there for some time.
After listening to the statements of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron Won
Buelow, in the Reichstag, the criticism
became severe. The Frankfort Zeitung
says:
Spain retains all the advantages of own
ership. retains full liberty for the clerical
orders, has a coaling station in each
group of the islands and is put CONNER
cially on the same footing as Germany,
while she merely cedes to Germany the
ably no other power would have paid
Recalling Prince Bismarck's opinion, the
paper adds: Now this lumperei is all at
once believed to be worth SIT ,000.'
The National Liberal Corresponding,
usually an enthusiastic supporter of mat
ters calculated to increase Germany 8
colonial possessions, disparages the new
acquisitions, pointing out that the only
advantage is new tariff understanding
with Spain.
A Foreign Office official who was en-
powered to speak for the Minister of For
eign Affairs, Baron Won Buelow, said to
the correspondent here of the Associated
Press that he fully expects to see the
Reichstag pass the appropriation for the
purchase money by a large majority. add
ing that the Freisinniges and Socialists
will be the only parties to vote against it,
though the Center might make it's approv
al conditional,
The bin for the appropriation will pro-
vide for the administration of the new
possessions, and 1t is said the tariff un-
derstanding with Spain is only of gen
eral nature, Germany and Spain admitting
each other among the favored nation

REFUSE TO COME
AND COOPERATE
German Merchants Will
Not Accept.
Copyrighted, 1899, by the Associated Press

BERLIN, June 1O.-Fresh reports say
the Chamber of Commerce of Gladbach
has unanimously rejected the invitation
of the Philadelphia Museum of Commerce
to cooperate with 1t. The influential
Rhenish and Westphalian Zeitung calls
the invitation a native attempt to induce
the German Michael to come and be
skinned and number of other papers
indorse this statement, claiming the
Americans are already doing enough
espionage upon German industry.
The Agrarian newspapers continue to
cite the alleged discovery and seizure of
trichinous American meats. Such cases
the reported this week from Hof, Bavaria; !;
brunswick, Hildesheim, Alona and BO-
chum. Professor STILES, the scientific at
tache of the United States Embassy, is
investigating the cases. OF course they
are generally used to prejudice consumers
against American meats. Two large lots
OF damaged hamS, weighing altogether
5000 pounds, were seized IN Berlin and the
dealer claimed he had received them from
an Altoona importer named Mohr, who is
said to have received them direct from
the United States.

cago to the Agraran Deutsche Tage Zei-
tung, makes long revelations as 10 The

Since his return from hunting at Pro-
kelneitz the Emperor has enjoyed most
of his time in reviewing the regiments
comprising the garrisons of Potsdam and
Berlin lunching on Wednesday with the
officers of two cavalry regiments of the
guards. After the review he sat for a
while with young Prince Lynar, whose
mother is an American, and inquired
pleasantly after his American relatives.
The Princes mother was a Miss Parsons
of Columbus, Ohio. The Prince is lieu
tenant Of the Guards du Corps Regiment.
The Emperor will visit Bonn during the
summer for the purpose of seeing his sis
fer Princess Victoria of Schaumburg-
Iippe, whose husband is an officer of hus-
sars in the garrison at Bonn. His Majes-
ty will also arrange for the stay of the
Grown Prince and Prince Eitel Fritz at
the University of Bonn next year.
on Thursday the Emperor used the new
luxurious steamer Alexandra to proceed
bv the Hayel from Potsdam to Spandau
where he reviewed four guard regiments.
The steamer has special features, espe-
cially ordered by his Majesty after one

FINANCIAL CRASH
AFTER THE BOOM
Danger That Confronts
HaWaiianS.
Special Correspondence of The Call.

HONOLULU. June 2.-Hon- w. G Irwin
said to The Call correspondent on Wednes-
day, when asked for his views on the
financial status of the country:
The situation 1 regard as dangerous
It is certainly not a healthy state OF al
fairs when you see people mortgaging all
they possess, even the very furniture in
their houses, to pay the hrst assessment
on new schemes, without knowing where
or how they are going to raise the money
for the next assessments.
Most Of these people buy shares only
for speculation. They tell me, as q
banker, some of them, that they do not
intend to hold the stocks for which they
seek TO borrow money more than a rev
. days. But with nearly all or the buyers
Intending 10 sell at a premium IL IS not not
hard 10 imagine what sort OF SITUATION
will develop when succeeding payments
"These new enterprises are, no doubt,
all-or nearly all-good for the country,
but this feverish state Of unrest and ex-
citement IN the community | do not con-
slider healthy.
MANY of the sugar plantations here
viii, | believe, always hold their own
with any in the world and be good IN
vestments. Still, there is such a thing as
paying too much for a $50 gold piece
When enterprises Of this kind assume the
form of a boom instead Of an intelligent
and well directed investment II becomes
dangerous for the community, especially
Capital for all the new enterprises on
foot is certainly not in sight at present
in this country. 1t viii take about twenty
ave million dollars to complete all the
Rchemes now afioat and Immediately pro-
tected Possibly capital may be brought
here from the outside 1t certainly is
necessary for the numerous large enter
prises now under way.
There is any amount Of money in San
Francisco awaiting investment without
even going East. So long as the planta-
tions which are put before capitalists over
there prove a good paying investment
there will be no danger in that quarter.
ANYTHING like a crash here, however,
am afraid might be disastrous to Hawaii
an securities in San Francisco.
Understand me, ] am not attempting
10 deprecate any of these new enterprises.
What ] deprecate and fear is simply the
substitution of a speculative boom for the
methods of sound and discerning invest
ment"
A good deal of activity has character
ized the two stock exchanges this week.

BIG STRIKE OF
STREETCAR MEN
Cleveland Trolley Lines
Are Tied Up.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 10.-What
promises to be a long and bitter contest
between the Cleveland Electric Railway
(Big Consolidated) and its 900 employees
was inaugurated at 4 o'clock this morn
ing by a strike which tied up all of the
fourteen lines operated by the company.
These lines reach all sections of the city,
and they form the only means of trans
portaton for more than 100000 people liv-
ing in territory five miles long and three
miles wide at the South End.
The west side is affected but little,
only one line passing through that sec
ton, while on the east side four lines of
the Little Consolidated, of which Senator
Hanna is president, are available for use
by most of the patrons of the tied UP
lines in that section. Thus far the Little
Consolidated men have refused to strike
and they are not likely to go out.
The strike is mainly for the recognition
of the union, and the men have been pre-
pairing for it for several weeks. Presi-
dent Henry A. Everett says he is willing
to concede all the other demands of the
men and will adjust all other grievances
presented by his employees, but declares
that he will never recognize the union,
whose demands he characterizeS as ty-
rannical
has employed men in other cities to taks
the places of the strikers, but 1T is diff
cult to ascertain whether many of these
men are now in the city Only about half
a dozen cars were operated to-day. Those
were on the Euclid avenue line, and they
were under the guard of deputy sheriffS
and were operated by imported men. A
few mail cars were run by the strikers,
who say they will not obstruct the mail
There have been several riotous demon
strations to-day, but none of really seri-
Gus nature. There is not likely to be any
serious trouble until Monday, because
there will be no further attempt to operate
the lines until tonight. The only cars
TO be moved tomorrow will be those car
rying the United States mail, and the
strikers have volunteered to see that those
are operated so long as no passengers arc
carried
