tion, that the ballots as made out Ia
the clerks office were accessible Ia
anyone interested, and hence they

INVESTIGATION OF THE
SHOOTING OF KISHM0T0
Yolo County Officers Insist That
Japanese Accuse Whites in Or
der to Shield Themselves.

WOODLAND. March 2.-Attorney r. E.
H Epsey and H Fumikura. a representa-
tive of the japanese Consul at San Fran
CISCO returned to this city from Blacks
Wednesday evening" where they went to
make an investigation of the shooting
of the Jap named KshmOto. Upon their
return Epsey stated that the matter had
been investigated thoroughly and he is
convinced that the story that two white
men did the shooting is true.
In details the particulars gained by the
recent investigation differ to some extent
from the account published at the time
of the shooting. According to the later
story it seems that Kishmoto heard a
noise outside the cabin and got out of bed
to investigate. He saw nothing and re-
turned He was followed into the cabin
by two white men, who, either because
they thought he would resist or for the
purpose of intimidation, shot him, the
bullet taking effect in the shoulder. This
aroused all the Japs and they were hud-
died together and one man covered them
with pistol while the other searched
their personal effects. This job being
over the two men left the cabin and
quickly disappeared in the darkness.
This last investigation was probably in
stituted with a view of making the de-
yelopments basis for a claim for dam
ages The county officers and Mr.. How
ard still adhere to the theory that the
shooting was the result of a row among
the Japs and that the robbery story is a
pure invention to shield one of their num-
Der from the consequences of his crime.

The directors had agreed TO make F.

old ones will step down and out.

State Legislature to vote for a State ap-
preparation for an exposition in San Fran

as follows:

To the Honorable Board Of City Trustees of
the City of Monterey. Cal-Gentiemen: A copy
of your resolution Of the 18th inst relative TO
Pacific Ocean International Exposition has
been duly received. While your action receives
its fullest appreciation and consideration, and
carries with II small weight of influence,
permit TO say that have given this mat
ter much consideration and study and my
victions at this time stand boldly against the
proposition. l am open to conviction in the
matter. however. If your honorable body
formulate any chain of reason which shall con-
vince me 1 am in the wrong I shall be pleased
to listen TO the same. Very truly,
F. P. FELIZ.
No further action was taken upon the
subject by the Trustees, but the board
and indeed the town as a whole strongly
indorse the exposition.

MORMON LEApER HERE.
President Joseph F. Smith Regrets
the Utah Legislative
Scandal.

President Joseph F. Smith, leader Of
the Mormon sect in Zion, Utah. who has
been for some time in Honolulu on bust
ness connected with his church, has ar
rived in this city and is staying at the
Grand Hotel. With him are Mrs. Smith
and his two nieces.
II regret that my visit to the islands"
said Mr.. Smith, compelled me to be alb
sent at the very time the Senatorial fight
was going on in Utah. l deeply deplore
the scandal that has arisen in the case.
No matter whether the charges Of brib-
cry against A. w. McCune are proven or
not, McCune cannot go to the Senate un-
tainted. Although I consider him a good
friend of the Mormon church, still We
hardly care to assume the responsibility
of his election.
"As to Congressman-elect Roberts,
honor him for his fidelity to his covenants
and his devotion TO his church, but think
his election at this time is a mistake:
However, the people wanted him, and
they are responsible and not the church.
President Smith addressed the Mormon
Mission at 915 Golden Gate avenue last
night, and the Mormon colony was well
represented. He spoke of matters re-
lating to their faith and urged them to be
true to it.
President Smith will probably leave for
his home shortly, as he received a tele-
gram yesterday that the investigating
committee in the McCune bribery case
expected to bring in their report to-day

FREE MARKET TO
GO TO THE SEAWALL

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MBNTO, March $50 far as the Senate
is concerned the free market will not be
on the corner of Davis and Pacific streets
In San Francisco. It will be on section
Of the seawau. An amendment TO Lang
ford's free market bill providing for the
change in the site was adopted this even
ing, despite the opposition of Cutter and
Langford, and with the assistance of Ma
5or Mclaughlin, who has been persistently
lobbying against the bill in its original
form whenever he had time to spare from
his diminishing share in the Senatorial
fight. Senator Stratton proposed the
amendment moving the site for the addi-
ton to the free market from the lot lying
between Pacific street, Davis and the
water front TO section of the seawal.
Dickinson spoke first on the amendment,
saying the site originally mentioned was
occupied by the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company and was paying the State a
rental OF $500 a month throughout the
year, and by the bill it was intended to
Gust the company to make way for a
traff1c which would pay but for three or
four months.
Cutter read several resolutions passed
DX the supervisors, the Chamber of Com
merce, the State Grange and the Fruit
Growers convention, all of which recon-
Inehued the site on Davis and Pacific
streets. StrattOn explained that improve
mentS valued at $50 600 would have to be
removed or given up by the company, and
showed that the site on the Seawau was
Just as good and quite as close to the CEN
ter OF trade so far as transportation was
concerned as the one the original bill Sc
lected.
Others spoke on the question princi-
paliy on the subject of the railway facil-
ties, which Senator Langford explained
was what the farmers most wanted. and
then the amendment went to q vote. 1t
had but little to spare when the vote was
announced, but the amendment had car
RED and the bill was laid over until it
could be printed.
