FENDERLESS STREET CARS.

THE fatal accident of Sunday in which the life OF
child was crushed out by a car on Third
street adds another name to the rapidly increas-
ing death list OF the fenderess and renews the
warning that until the city compes the car companies
to equip their cars with proper tenders they will do
nothing OF value in that direction.
1t is not necessary to raise any sensational cry of
murder" against the company over the accident
to render its lesson impressive The effect OF the
death OF the little child is potent than any effect
yellow journalism may produce by coarse, harsh
words, or by grotesque cartoons. The story OF the
manner in which the death was caused, when told
with the simplicity is sufficient to rouse pub
lie sentiment on the subject and if it do not the
Supervisors to act with promptness and resolution in
enacting stringent fender ordinance there must be
something in the moral and intellectual makeup OF
an official parsonage which is widely different from
that OF the normal man.
For years the people OF San Francisco have been

forcement of some adequate ordinance OF the kind
Time and again there has been an outburst OF popu
lar indignation which has compelled the Supervisors
to make what was least vigorous pretense at ac

however there has been one after another put
forward by the company and the adoption of fender

CONVENTION TO MEET Herr
THE PRINCIPAL WINE-MAKING
COUNTIES REPRESENTED.
Vineyardists Apparently Satisfied
With the Workings of the Asso-
citation During the Five Years
of It's Existence.

From the deliberations of the director
ate of the California Winemakers' Asso-
citation yesterday it is evident, it will be
continued in existence by the vineyardists,
throughout the State. On Thursday of
next week delegates representing the four
great wine-making counties-Santa Clara.
Sonoma, Napa and Alameda-will meet in
convention at the Lick House.
This was determined upon at a special
meeting yesterday called to considers
petition signed by the vineyardists of
Santa Clara County. The petition follows:
The Honorable Board of Directors Califor-
MIA Winemakers OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Santa Clara County being one of the large
wine producing counties of the State, it is
respectfully requested by the undersigned
winemakers and members of the California
Winemakers' Corporation OF said county,
that you call a meeting of all the members
of said corporation, Immediately to be held
in San Francisco to indorse the results of
the corporation and its workings; its man
agement in general by its able board of
directors and to reorganize on the present
basis. eliminating such errors making
such changes as experience has taught VIII
be for the best interest of the winemakers
of the State.
After a general discussion it was deter
mined to postpone action on the petition
pending the forthcoming convention. The
consensus of opinion was that the aSSo-
citation would be continued. 1t was or
gained five years ago by the representa-
tive wine men of the State. They pool
the products of their vineyards, which
are handled by the association. This has
been proved a success and it is expected
that new contracts will be entered into
at the convention covering five years. The
work Of the association is carried out by
a board Of directors chosen from among
it's members. At the meeting yesterday
were the following officials: President

AT1LER WAS INSOLENT

The necessity of the prosecuting wit
ness leaving the city saved Isaac At

to swindle Mrs. M. J. Russell out of a
valuable watch and ring, from defend
ing himself against serious charge, as
the county attorneys office was pre-
pared to prosecute him for larceny as

essary for Mrs. Russell to get away
employed at Pocatello and she was to
go to him Monday. She did not have
quite money enough and went to At
tiers place to get some money by
pawning watch and ring. The articles
were worth in the neighborhood of 500,
but the woman's inexperience was ia
ken advantage of and she was only
given SO on them. Attler had no license
to do pawnbroking business, SO gave
the woman his card, telling her she
could redeem her property by paying
s3.75. Before taking the train, Mrs.
Russell got a telegram from her hus-
band stating that he was coming after
her and telling her to await his ar

tier to redeem her property, when he
refused to give it to her. She applied to
the police and Detectives Murphy and
Ray went to Alters place to investi-

pawnbroker and as he was insolent and
refused to tell what had become of the
woman's property, they decided to ar

would not submit to arrest Detective

BUTTE NEWS.
A PUBLIC TRIBUTE DUE
Planning a Royal Reception for
the Troops.
A MEETING TO BE CALLED
Several Schemes Are to Be Discussed.
The Boys Must Return in Some
Organized Form to In
sure Success.

A meeting of citizens to be held at
tonight has been called for the pur-
pose of taking some action on the prop
ostion to get up a public reception and
demonstration in honor of the Montana
soldiers on their return from the Phil
irpines 1t is hoped that there will be
a good turn out and that some action
will be taken that will result in a re-
eepton that will be an honor to the
city or state and to the brave soldiers
whose valorous deeds in war have
brought such great honor to themselves
and to their state.
Several schemes are to be discussed,
but it seems to be generally agreed
that in order to make the demonstra-
ton success it is necessary to have
the boys return TO Montana in some
organized form, but to ask them to
waive their travel pay and go to Hell
ena to be mustered out, it is felt, is
asking a great deal of the soldiers.
The money they will receive from the
government, if they are mustered out
in San Francisco, is big item to many
of the boys.
1T is very much like asking them to
pay for their own reception and enter
tainment to ask them to waive their
extra pay" said a well-known citizen
yesterday AT the same time, if they
do not return home in some organized
body it will be impossible to give them
a proper public reception. The only
way it could be done otherwise would
wished and then reorganize the COM
panies at home, fix a day for the
demonstrat ton, and bring them together
at some central point. Another way
would be to let each community give a
reception to its own soldiers, but that
would not give the boys the general,
state reception to which they are en-
titled, and in which every citizen Will
wish to participate. The state Will not
be doing its duty to the soldiers if a
fitting reception is not given them.
The idea of bringing the reception to
Helena is the most popular plan in Hell
ena.

it necessary that she accompany her
husband, and it being impossible for
her to remain. it was decided to let the
larceny case go.
Attler was insolent in the extreme
when cross-examined by City Attorney
Lamb.
Where is the watch now?" asked
Mr.. Lamb.
That has nothing to do with the
case, said Attler
The court thought it had and told
him to answer
I gave it to Rubenstein to have the
monogram taken off, was the reply
Has he the watch now?'
No"
Where is it?'
Il gave it to a party"
Who Is that party?"
I won't answer
Mr.. Lamb appealed to the court and
Judge Sullivan said:
You are only prejudicing your own
case
You had better answer" said
Brodie and Judge Sullivan added: ''You
must answer or stand in contempt, and
/ shall fine you
Attler sat sullenly silent for a minute
and then replied:
Il gave it to /. Lukeholtz'
Where is he?" asked Mr.. Lamb.
HE left last night for Great Falls
1t CHANGED that Lukeholtz was sitting
in the audience and the courts atten-
tion was called to the fact. 1t was at
this time that Mr.. Alley was sent for.
Judge Sullivan found the defendant
guilty and fined him $50 and ordered
that Mrs. Russell's property be re-
stored to her upon payment of the
amount of the pledge. An appeal was
taken, but Mrs Russell got her watch
and ring.
