important Decision on
Town ship Salaries.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SU1SUN, May 25.-Judge Buckles to-
day rendered a decision of unusual in
terest regarding the increasing of salar-
les Of township officers during their
term. Of office. F. ]. Kalber present
Justice of the Peace of Rio Vista Town
ship, brought a suit against County Au-
ditor G. F. Wooderson to draw his
warrant on the County Treasurer in
favor Of the plaintiff for $50, the
amount alleged to be due from Solano
County to the plaintiff as salary for one
month as Justice of the Peace Of Rio
Vista Township. The plaintiff was
elected at the general election of 1898
Prior to, and at the time he came into
the Office as Justice, in January, 1899
the salary was $50 a month. determined
under subdivision 13, section 1863, of the
county government act of 1897. Rio
Vista being township, having a pap
ulation under the United States CEN
sus of 1890 Of 1000 and less than 1900
In March, 1890, the Board of Super
visors caused an enumeration of the in
habitants of Rio Vista Township to be
taken, and said enumeration showed
the population of said township to be
1868. This would entitle Rio Vista to
be placed in that class of townships
having population of 1900 and less
than 1000. The salary of the Justice
Of the Peace of this class is $55 a
month. Kalber made a demand for $780,
and the County Auditor refused to
draw his warrant for the same. The
Auditor relied on section 8. article IL
constitution of the State of California.
that the compensation of any county.
city, town or municipal officer shall not
be increased after his election or dur
ing his term Of office. Plaintiff con-
tended that this constitutional prohi-
bitfon against an increase of the COM
pensation Of county, city. town or mu-
nicipal officers had no application to
Justices Of the Peace, because the word
township" is not used.
Judge Buckles quoted from several
authorities regarding the term town
ship officers" and said it clearly ap-
peared that the constitution makers in
tended to extend the prohibition
against raising the salaries or compen-
sation of officers to township officers
The demurrer to the complaint was,
therefore, sustained.

BRUTALITY TO
CHINESE GIRLS
Two Sold Into Slavery
. by Their Father.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER, B. c., May 25.-The
horrifying- details were received here
to-day Of the selling of two Chinese
girls into slavery in the mining district
of Cariboo. A certain amount of
traffic in Chinese women has been
known to exist all over the coast, but
the awful state of affairs in this case
has surprised the authorities. White
men have actually made it their bust
ness to negotiate sales. They drew UP
certain papers in making a transfer
from Quong, the brute father of the
two girls, to the buyers, to give the
sale a sort of legal aspect in the eyes
Of OrieItals. 1t was white men. too.
who nailed the girls up in boxes and
shipped them like ordinary freight.
The girls had comparatively no cloth
ing and must have suffered physical
torture in making the trip.
While the whole facts have just been
brought to light, the delivery of the
girls took place over month ago When
the snow was still thick on the ground
The two girls were aged 13 and Is years.
and in the younger ones journey of
100 miles to the new owner she was
left IN her box In a vehicle all night
and the thermometer was at zero.
The party had stopped at a well-known
halfway house between Quesnelle and
Soda Creek. Mrs. Langdale. the pro-
prietress, strongly protested against
such inhuman treatment, but the men
brutally laughed and said she was only
a Chinese swine any way, and they had
been paid for delivering her. Quong.
the father of the unfortunate girls. has
two wives, and is known for miles
around as brute for his treatment of
them. They do all the work. wash gold
from the placer claim they have been
living on for years, and take in wash
ing from other miners around
The girls are children of a wife who
was married under the Canadian law.
The elder girl, having only ordinary
feet, was sold for $3.50, but the younger
went to a Chinaman at the forks of
Quesnelle, who already has one wife.
bringing $500. Her feet were mangled
to suit the purchasers taste.
Now IT is said that the white wretch
who has been the principal in the per-
petration of the crime so far is crush
ing a third girls feet to sell her more
advantageously later. She is now a
child Of II years, and Is kept for hours
sitting in a cage something like stocks,
having her feet compressed into the
most stylish Chinese mode. The pro-
vinciaI authorities are taxing the mat
ter up, and even Eastern social purity
societies, who have heard the awful de-
tails, and know of the more awful re-
suits Of the crimes that have been COM
mitted, are taking prompt action in the
matter.
So far there is only conjecture as to
the names of the men who have COM
mitted the crime. The names of prom
inent men are freely mentioned, and
if summary justice is dealt them-it will
not be contrary to the expectation of
many people in the community. The
girls are known all through the camp.
and their sudden disappearance caused
inquiries to be made. Then the young
er one was found with her new owner
and Mrs. Langdale told all that she
knew of the visit of the men and their
brutal treatment of the girls.

judged trifle warlike in its tone. was
offered, declaring it the duty of the COM
mittee to confer with Chairman Jones
A committee of five on press matters
was appointed, its members being How
ell of Georgia, Daniels of North Caro-.
lima, Troup of Connecticut, Woodson OF
Kentucky and Stone of Missouri
1t was declared the sense of the meet
ing that it was advisable that regular
meeting of the national committee should
be held in the near future, and Commit
teeman Stone, who acted as the presid-
ing officer of the meeting, was instructed
to so notify Chairman Jones and request
him to cali the meeting for July 20 in Chi
cago. Stone of Missouri and Walsh of
Iowa were appointed a committee to draft
bylaws for the committee, to be sub
mitted at the next meeting in Chicago.
Notice was received by the conference
that II. b. Ferguson of Albuquerque,
New Mex, had been appointed member
of the national committee, in place or
F. A. Manzares, who has rendered his
resignation. The Democratic State Com
mittee of Massachusetts sent word that
ii had removed John w. Corcoran as ma
tional committeeman and appointed
George F. Williams of Dedham, Mass, in
his place.
A large number of letters and kilograms
We're received during the day from prom
country, expressing sympathy with the
meeting. and many of them urging ad-
herence to the Chicago platform.
Mr., Bryan said at the conclusion of the
conference:
AZ am satisfied that great good has
come from the. meeting, and that the
Democracy will be in better position to
make the fight in the coming election
than it has ever been. 1t was not de-
signed that any action should be taken
at this meeting. 1t was called solely for
the purpose of getting an insight into
the conditions in the different States and
urging those that have in any way al
lowed their organiZat tons. to lapse from
what it should be to get to work at once
with the object of putting matters into
the best condition before the serious work
oil next year. What action will be taken
by the Democracy regarding its plat
form it is too early to discuss but | am
sure of one thing, and that is that silver

stay, and the people will not allow it to

Ex-Governor Altgeld expressed views
similar TO those of Mr.. Bryan, and said
in addition that as far as the fight
against Devlin is concerned, 'it is ridicu-
lOus. They cannot hurt Devlin and they
cannot hurt me-
Notwithstanding the statements of Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Altgeld it cannot be gain

be one of the leading features of the
platform but they declare openly that
