UNION BANK VICTIMS
RESOLVE ON ACTION

proper course to pursue and report at
another meeting tomorrow.
Attorney w. F. James. who was pro-
1ected into the hall at this moment at
the apex of a flying wedge, landed on
his feet in front Of the chairman in
time to second the motion in a speech
that set the assembled depositors wild
with enthusiasm. He declared the
meeting was depositors' meeting and
stockholders should have no voice in
the proceedings, and wound up by Of
fering an amendment providing that
only depositors should be eligible to
serve on the committee. The amend
ment was adopted with a whoop, and
then the young attorney nearly spoiled
the favorable impression he had made
by offering a second amendment to the
effect that the holder of a depositor's s
proxy be considered eligible to serve.
storm of protests arose, the feeling
being that depositor who did not take
sufficient interest in the proceedings to
attend personally was not entitled to
any recognition.
A proposal to gauge the vote by the
amount of the voters deposit was
promptly voted down, Mr.. Witten argu-
ing that small amount on deposit by
a poor man was more to him than that
of a man who had ten times as much
Mr. Witten then made a misstep by
saying that stockholder had as much
at stake as a depositor and the ava
lanche of indignant protests which fol-
lowed took away his breath.

Brick few months ago, the memory of
which still rankles in the judicial mind.
Harrison was arrested on q charge of
burglary last August for having entered
house near California City and stolen a
quantity of provisions. When brought
before Judge Angellotti he manifested a
spirit of resignation and pleaded guilty.
With trembling lip and streaming tears
he related how he had gone without food
for two days and had stolen provisions
only when half famished. The heart of
the court was touched at the mans evil
dent distress, and he imposed the light
sentence of seven months in San Quentin
prison.
Many criticisms were passed by those
who attended court, and Judge Angellotti
afterward admitted he might have been
a little bit harsh.
When Harrison reached San Quentin he
was recognized as one of the worst GRIM
inals on the Pacific Coast, man who had
already graced a cell in this institution
no less than five times. His prior con-
victions would have given him life SEN
tence.
District Attorney McIsaacs teleuhoned
Warden Hale to-day to find out when
Harrison was to be released, saying DR..
B. F. Lyford. of Tiburon. had ,gorn to a
warrant charging him with burglary. The
official was much annoyed to learn that
Harrison was released yesterday.
The San Francisco call., 1899-02-08

Finally, after more than an hour Of
turmoil and confusion, the chairman
succeeded in gaining the attention of
the meeting long enough to announce
the names of those selected to serve
on the committee, as follows: S. f.
Moore of Gilroy, Homer Prindle, l..
Barnheisel, H. T. Besse, F. M. Britton,
E. c. Rodwick and c. w. Childs.
Shortly afterward the meeting ad-
journed to meet tomorrow morning at
IL o'clock in Turn Verein Hall, which,
it is expected, will accommodate all
who apply for admission.
The committee conferred with num-
Der of attorneys this afternoon but
while a number of plans were discussed
no definite action will be decided upon.
While many of the stockholders are ex-
ceedingly bitter in their denunciations
of the bank officials and favor taking
steps to place them behind prison bars,
the conservative element is in the ma
jority, and no action will be taken
without the most careful consideration
of the consequences involved. 1t is be-
lieved by some that the quickest and
most satisfactory course would be to
allow the appointment of receiver for
the bank and await the formal winding
up of the affairs of the defunct institu-
ton, but the depositors as class need
their money, and they viii listen to no
plan which involves delay If it can be
shown that they can compel a settle
ment by taking matters into their own
hands.

THE WHISKEY TRUST.
Dealers at Its Absolute Mercy in the Fix
ing of Prices.


ing of Prices.
Chicago, May 19-Martin T. Cook and
Henry G. Luyties, New York liquor
dealers, were before the Industrial COM
mission to-day. Both are independent
of the whiskey trust and both testified
concerning the operations of the trust.
Mr.. Cook said that his firm had been
approached by the Standard company
(reputed to be part of the present
trust and asked to become distribu-
tor for it, but that as his company was
willing to give rebate of only IL
cents per gallon the proposition was de-
clined. This rebate was to be paid
upon the condition that the house
should buy only Of the Standard COM
pany.
The dealers, he said, had found them
selves entirely at the mercy of the
trust in fixing prices. On one occasion
prices had been suddenly advanced to
the extent of 20 cents per gallon for no
other reason, SO far as he could see, than
to advance the price of the stock for
speculative purposes. On account of
these objections his firm had declined
the offer of the Standard company and
established its own distilling plant
Speaking Of overcapitalization, Mr..
Cook thought 100000 sufficient capi-
tai upon which to conduct the distilling
business for the entire country.
Luyties' testimony was along the
same lines as Mr.. Cooks. He said that
in some localities the trust cut prices
in order ito drive out rivals. 1t was
natural that it should do so in the face
of it's enormous capitalization.
A decaying trust, he said is the hard
est thing in the world to fight 1t often
pays no dividends. The rival spends
his money, while the trust managers do
not. Consequently such a rivalry is
often distressing.
The commission will hear no more
witnesses until the 9th of June, when
the investigation of the sugar trust will
be begun

O'BRlEN KNOCKED OUT.
Wolcott Made Heavy Concession and
Won the Fight.

Won the Fight.
New York, May 19.-Joe Walcott the
colored boxer, knocked out DICK
O'Brien in the 14th round of their hght
at the Broadway Athletic club tonight:
Walcott made a heavy concession of
weight to the Lewiston man, yet he
won without having to take more than
half a dozen punches in return for the
scores that he rained upon his man.
Walcott took lead with the sound Of
| the gong and save for a few seconds N
| the 18th, was never headed. He showed
only yO,Brien's wonderful stamina and
capacity to take punishment that
saved him from an earlier defeat.
1t looked for a time as II the fight
| would end in the fifth. Walcott began
| the round with a right on the jaw and
after twice repeating the blow sent his
left and right into the body hard.
| O'Brien. cut and bleeding, clinched and
saved himself.
| The sixth was all Walcotts. He did
what he pleased and sent O'Brien to his
corner bleeding and unsteady.
| O'Brien made sorry showing in the
seventh. Walcott administered terrific
punishment to the Maine man in the
| eighth. He sent his right to the jaw
three times and then jabbed his left
| into the face and poked it until he was
| tired.
| In the ninth O'Brien displayed pair
of bleeding ears and blood also trickled
| from his lips and nose.
| Again in the tenth Walcott beat his
man to a standstill and put him down
| with right hook.
O'Brien was strong in the 11th and
although he followed Walcott closely,
| was apparently afraid to risk a lead.
In the 18th Walcott was in and out
with scarcely a return and O'Brien
| took a painful grueling. Presently
| O'Brien rallied again and was forcing
| the fighting when the round closed.
The 18th was the only one that looked
| like O'Brien's. Walcott opened with a
| series of blows, but toward the close
! O'Brien planted his right on the jaw
and his left on the nose and followed
the colored man about the ring and had
him bleeding and tired at the finish
The end came in the 14th. Walcott
rushed his man and sent him down
with hard right on the jaw. OBrien
| took his time and was groggy when he
came up. Walcott was at him at once
and beat him down with right and left.
Then out shot right hook and it was
| all over
Walcott was the favorite in the bet
ting at odds of 2 to l, but there was
not much money wagered.
