OIL DEVELOP PMENT,
A Pipe Line to Be Con-
StruCted to the San
Joaquin.

Colonel A. F. Haraszthy, who has
been frequently seen in Fresno during
the past few months, arrived in town
again last night. He comes in consulta-
ton with Judge Crichton, County Sur
veyor Hoxie, DR.. Maupin, A. c. Vandi-
veer, n. P. Justly and others regard
ing the development of oil land. Colonel
Haraszthy was attracted to Fresno
County about four months ago by the
news Of the oil strikes in the Panoche
belt After satisfying himself that the
reports could be verified he engaged the
services of two experts and for the past
three months and a half they have been
pospecting this district. Colonel Har-
aszthy Immediately started out by
bonding every piece of property that
could be found by slightest indication
to be oil bearing. After some 1000 acres
had been located the colonel and his
associates made more thorough ex
animation of the various properties
and decided that 2160 acres of the 1000
located were positively oil bearing. The
colonel, together with the above men
toned gentlemen and a few others, in
corpOrated the Union Consolidated Oil
and Transportation Company, with
capital stock of $1,000,000, with head
quarters in San Francisco.
It is the intention of the company to
begin boring Immediately on three diff
ferent pieces of the property. A central
storage tank will be erected and a, pipe
line six inches in diameter constructed
from that point to the head of naviga-
ton on the San Joaquin River, about
opposite Dos Palos. At the end of the
pipe line large tanks will be erected, a
switch will be run from the Southern
Pacific Railroad to the tanks, and
wharves constructed along the river
bank. The company will thus be en-
abled to have either water or rail trans
portation, as the circumstances may re-
quire. River boats of light draught
with iron oil tanks will be constructed
and their product hauled by water to
Stockton Sacramento, Oakland, San
Francisco and San Jose, at which places
their oil wagons will be filled and the
consumer supplied.-Fresno Repub-

CATHOLICS ARE
FREE IN CHINA
Mis- aries to Rank as
MandarinS.
DECREE OF THE EMPRESS
ANTI-CHRISTIAN RIOTS IN FO-
KEN PROVINCE.
Viceroy Liu Has Received 1nstruc-
tions From the Empress to Pre-
vent the Landing of Eu-
ropean Troops.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, July 18.-The steamship
Olympia brings news that the Empress
has issued a decree recognizing the
Roman Catholic religion throughout
China and according an official grade 70
all Catholic missionaries, who thus
rank as mandarins. The French pro-
tectorate of Catholics in China Is also
recognized with all its privileges This
recognition was secured as a result or
strong French demands made following
the murder of French missionaries IN
interior provinces. 1t is hoped that the
edict will give missionaries greater pro-
lection than they have had heretofore.
Anti Christian riots in Fokien province
have caused all the missionaries to flee
to Foochow. Seven Chinese Christians
were murdered during the riots.
1t was reported that Rev. Mr.. Phil
lips. his wife and other English mis-
sionaries were murdered, but latest dis
patches announce their arrival at Foo
chow. Much missionary property was
destroyed. The British gunboat -Iger-
inc has arrived at Foochow.
A terrible explosion occurred last
month at the Hokoku coal mine. Japan,
in which 22O persons were killed. Over
naked lamp carried into the mine
caused the explosion.
The plague still RACES in Formosa.
JTp to June 20 there had been 1776
deaths since January l in Northern
FOrmOSa.
The Nanking native correspondent of
the Shanghai Daily News reports that
VicerOy Liu, at Marking, has received
a sensational secret edict from the En-
armed forces to prevent the landing of
European troops in the Yang-tse-
Kiang Valley The edict reads: In
the event of the landing of armed
forces of European powers within the
Jurisdiction of the imperial commits
sionership of Nanyang you are hereby
granted the liberty TO employ armed
resistance thereto. There will be no
necessity of waiting for further in
structions from the throne. You will
be held responsible should there be any
failure in obeying these instructions
and it shall be in your dutyto notify our
commands to the various Vlceroys,
governors and provincial commanders
in-chief of maritime and river prov
inces comprised in your jurisdiction ana
to see to it that effective opposition be
given to the foreign aggressors. Lib
erty is also given to you to keep back
taxes destined for the imperial ex-
chequer in the event of lack Of funds
to prosecute the war. Obey this in Ear
and trembling"
Viceroy Liu's jurisdiction extends
over all the Yang-tse and maritime
provinces as regards foreign affairs and
military and naval matters The Japa-
nese home minister will shortly issue
departmental notification relating to
the control of foreign religions. The
prapa cation of Christianity has here
tOfOre not been interfered with, and no
objection has been made to the erec-
ton of churches, but the forthcoming
notification will contain a clause re-
quiring that in the future before a
church is erected the consent Of the
authorities must be obtained.

TAPPED A CASH
REGISTER AS A JOKE
Excuse Made by Suisun Man When
Caught in the Act by
Hotel Clerk

SUISUN, July 1S-W. H. Bryan pro-
prietor of the Arlington Hotel, swore to
a complaint to-day charging Vincent
Bailey. formerly one of the prOprietors
Of the Louvre restaurant in this place,
with burglary. Mr.. Bryan claims that
Bailey took money from his cash register
and has as a witness Leonard Downer,
night clerk in the Arlington Hotel. The
theft was committed at o'clock this
morning. Bailey admitted having taken
it was done as a joke on Mr.. Downer,
who is quite young and a new man in the
place.
Mr.. Downer could not see where the
Joke came in. He said that the defendant
and James Gray came into the place
shortly after o'clock and for nearly two
hours stood up against the bar drinking.
Finally Gray was seized with a thirst for
champagne, and there being none in sight
went to the liquorroom with Downer to
get a bottle. He held a lighted candle
Downer was about to shut the door he
heard the ring of the bell of the register.
He ran to the barroom, which he reached
in time to see Bailey coming from behind
the bar. Going to the drawer, he found
that money had been taken and imme-
diately accused Bailey of taking 1t. Real
izing that denial was futile, Bailey dis
gorged, at the same time saying 1t was
only a josh.
When Mr. Bryan arose this morning
the matter was laid before him, with the
result that he swore out the warrant.
Bailey was taken before Justice Hitch
cock this evening and held to appear be-
fore the Superior Court. with bonds fixed
at $500

ORTMAN IS SUSTAINED.
Gas Company's Franchise Is Assess
able in Stockton.

STOCKTON, July 1S - The County
Board of Equalization sustained Assessor
Ortman's assessment of the franchise of
the Stockton Gas and Electric Company
the valuation being s9S,7SS The company
protested against the assessment on the
ground that its local property had already
been valued at $1,000 in the general assess
ment of the company's property at the
head offices in San Francisco
District Attorney Ashley. gave an opin-
ion at the request of the board holding
that the franchise was assessable where
the company was actually doing business,
and the board upon the reading of the
same denied the petition FOR the striking
out of the assessment. With this action
of the board all hopes by other corpora
tions of beating Ortmans assessments
end. as the members of the county
board are men who will not recede from
a position once taken. The protests of the
national banks will be disposed of short
iy and it is believed that in every in
stance Ortman will be sustained. If any
cutting is done the responsibility must
rest with the State Board of Equalization.

he had testified falsely before the Coro-
ners inquest when he denied having been

PEOPLE FLEE FROM
HUNGRY MOSQUITOES
Insects Cause Inhabitants of a Snake
River Town to Seek Safety in
the Mountains

BOISE, Idaho, July 1S.-According to a
story from American Falls, Snake River
town, the people there are being driven
from their homes by mosquitoes. Swarms
Of the pestiferous insects, rivaling in size
and persistency the product of New Jer-
sey, make life there unbearable. People
are leaving for the mountains as fast as
possible in order TO escape absolute tor
ture. Sunday an attempt was made to
hold divine services, but the mosquitoes
broke up the meeting, the preacher and
congregation fleeing from the building
covered with white spots.
1t is reported that babe left alone for
q short time was almost devoured by the
mosquitoes, being so badly poisoned that
it may not live. Drugs have been tried in
vain, and the people have determined to
take to the mountains until the pests
leave.
