Reno Journal: It is understood
that q bill will soon be introduced
in the Nevada Legislature providing
for the reduction of interest on con
tract lands from 6 to 4 per cent.
This measure is one of vital inn

1t would decrease the principal rev.
enue of our public schools 33 la
per cent.
As the writer understands the
subject, these lands have been
oeded to the State by the General

Stockmen buy large acreages. pay
ing % cents down and interest at
6 per cent on the balance. The
lands are exempt from taxation until
final payment is made, which is usu>
ally long deferred. This interest
goes into the school fund.

Education I'm Porto Rico.

The expense Of maintaining schools
in Porto Rico is very high. if we con-
slider the amount spent for the small
number OF pupils enrolled; but as that

evidently be changed, until it reaches
our present state of perfection. In
this country the people are being edu-
Gated to the fact that there is a sure
cure for dyspepsia. indigestion, con-

and that medicine is Hostetter's

avoid unnecessary suffering. 1t will

prominent physicians, have testified

MAKES A DASH
FOR LIBERTY
Detectives Have Exciting
Chase After Frank
COntreras.

The police were notified a short time
ago that a man of good appearance was
in the habit of calling at lodging houses
and on the pretext Of getting glass
of water, stealing whatever he could
lay his hands on during the landlady's
temporary absence. Detective Crockett
got a good description of the man and
decided that he was Frank Contreras.
who has served several terms for petty
larceny.
Crockett was fortunate in meeting Con-
treras yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock
and promptly placed him under arrest.
Contreras did not offer any resistance
California and Kearny streets was
reached. Then Contreras made dash
for liberty and dashed along Kearny
northward, with the object Of reaching
a place of safety among friends in the
Latin quarter, where he is well known.
The detective started in pursuit and
blew his whistle as he ran, but no one
man, but showed that he is possessed of
good sprinting powers, and Contreras.
seeing that he would probably be over
hauled, darted into a saloon near Jack
son street, where he was cornered and
Crockett put the handouts on him. He
was taken to the City Prison and placed
in the tanks pending identihcation by
his victims. His last exploit was to steal
a valuable watch belonging to a landlady
who supplied him with a glass of water
Contreras comes of excellent family,
but has apparently decided upon a career
of crime. His grandfather was a gen.
eral in the American army, and the pris-
He has been out of the County Jail only
two months.
The San Francisco call., 1901-12-06

George Aldrich, a wealthy young
man, who mingles in good society and
who, according to medical examiners, is
gifted with about the same amount of in
telligence as the rest of humanity, finds
himself confronted with the statement
insane. Mr.. Aldrich is, however, young
gentleman Of easy disposition, who does
not care If he Is legally insane.
Adrich's parents were Hawaiians and
related to the illustrious Queen Iiliuoka-
lani His father acquired a considerable
amount of property, which was be-
queathed to the children. George was at
that time thought to be insane, but $125,-
600 was given to him in trust. He was to
receive the benefit of the income so long
as his mental disability lasted and If ho
should recover he was to get the whole
amount If at the time of his death he
should still be insane, the money was to
go to the other children.
Aldrtch was educated at Stevens Insti-
tute of Technology, Hoboken N J. 1t is
stated that while there he developed an
extraordinary ability to spend money 1t
is alleged that he then became weak men
gerous. Judge Hamilton of Alameda sent
him to Napa Insane Asylum in 1888. AL
drich escaped once, but was recaptured
His father died and he was paroled. DR..
Gardner is reported to have said that he
considered the young man sane, although
dangerous symptoms might again set in.
IneSe symptoms as lar as is known, have
not appeared as yet, and ten years have
elapsed.
An effort to establish Aldrich's sanity
was made once before and the examining
physicians reported favorably, but the
young fellow became too anxious waiting
for a. decision and wrote to the Judge
promising large amount of money for
his legal freedom. When this occurred
1t seemed preferable that he be still adj
judged insane. Proceedings were again
instituted in the Superior Court of this
city, but Judge Troutcs decided that he
had no jurisdiction over the case. Petit
ton was made to the Supreme Court for
writ of mandate which would make a
hearing compulsory.
This petition the Supreme Court has de-
MED, not that Aldrich is insane but by
reason Of legal technicalities. The court
suggests that a writ Of habeas corpus
might be obtained, but Attorneys Wood
worth and Spottswood who represent the
young man, fail to see how they can ask
for writ when their client is already
free. They have attempted to make the
asylum people place the young man in
confinement, and the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings would be In order. The ASYLUM
authorities claim however, that they
have no right to imprison him. The mat
ter seems to be in hopeless tangle and
no way to settle it is apparent to the
lawyers.
Since Aldrich has been at liberty he
has travelled over a large part of the
world. He is 80 years of age. For some
time past he has resided at the Grand

Judge, but was unsuccessful in this can

MRS. COARUM'S s
TRIAL BEGINS
,Self-Defense Is the Plea
Of the Woman Who
Shot Daniels.

The trial of Mrs. Catherine Coarum,
the white wife Of a colored cook on the
steamer Umatilla, for the murder on
April 9, 1901, Of a watchman named
Charles Daniels at her residence at 1889
Clay street, was commenced in Judge
Dunne's court yesterday.
Mrs. Coarum, who, in the absence Of
her husband, who was at sea-, was en-
joying herself in the company Of Daniels,
killed the watchman at her residence
after he and she had disposed of several
bottles of beer. She fired three shots at
him in the kitchen of the house where
they were carousing, killing him instant
ly. She then dragged his body to the
basement of the house and secreted it.
The next day one of her neighbors, hear
ing the woman crying, notified a police
man, who entered the house and searched
the premises. He found the woman cry
ing Historically over Daniels body and
arrested her on the charge OF murder.
The pistol with which the crime had been
the shooting occurred. When Mrs. Coarum
recovered from her spree she claimed
Daniels had fired a shot at her and that
she killed him in self-defense.
Coarurn, the woman's husband, was the
only witness examined yesterday. He
said he married the accused woman at
Liverpool in 1874 and came with her to
this city in 1884 1t was while he was
at sea that the shooting occurred. He
testified that ten days after the affair he
went to his home and made search of
the house.
In the kitchen where Daniels was killed
he found a razor, closed and in its case,
and under the steps leading to the base
ment he said he found a bullet, which
corresponded in size and shape to the
three taken from the body of Daniels. A
further search, said Coarum, resulted in
his finding a bullet hole in the steps.
The bullet found by Coarum was placed
in evidence, the lawyers hoping to prove
by it that the woman took Daniels life
after he had fired a shot at her.
The case was continued at this point
until Monday at 10 a. M

BANK ATTACHES
TANNERS FUNDS
Garnishees Large Sums
Belonging to Mckay
Company.

An attachment was levied yesterday on
all the money which the Mckay Tanning
Company of Benicia has on deposit in the
Wells, Fargo & Co. Bank, and also that
which is due the company from Bucking-
ham & Hecht. The suit is beihg brought
by D. o. Mills & Co.'S National Bank of
Sacramento. In the Wells-Fargo Bank
the Mckay Tanning Company has to it's
credit s197 900, all of which is included in
the attachment.
A telegram from Sacramento says the
announcement that the national bank of
D. o. Mills & Co. had attached the funds
of the Mckay Tanning Company did not
surprise the business community Of that
city, which has been aware for some time
of the embarrassment which had over
taken the tanning company.
The matter has an Important bearing
in Sacramento, aside from the banks con-
nection with ii, because of the fact that
the soap manufacturing business of the
w. r. Knights Company of Sacramento
and the Mckay Tanning Company al
w. r. knights, w. D. Knights, John
Blair and James Blair.
Both corporations, it was learned from
officials Of the D. 0. Mills bank are in
financial trouble on account of losses en-
tailed by the tanning company in its sales
of leather for several years.
The entire Indebtedness of the company
is said to be less than $500 Of which
bank of D. o. Mills & Co. of Sacramento,
which is secured by collateral notes
amounting to $4,000, upon which ii
brought the attachment suit.
The remaining debts are owing to the
bank of Wells, Fargo & Co., the Bank OF
California and Sumner & Co. of Sar
Francisco and John Mcfarland of Gait
Sacramento County. 1t is said that the
creditors and debtors are close to set
tlement on basis of about so cents on
the dollar. The Capital Soap Company OF
Sacramento, although owned by the same
parties as the tannery, is not in financial
troubles. The Mckay Tanning Company
has about $4,000 of good assets, consist
ing Of leather, cash in bank and accounts
due it from Buckingham & Hecht and
others.
w d. knights of the embarrassed firm
was representative Of Sacramento
County in the last Legislature. He and
his business colleagues have always stood
nigh in the business community of that
city and their reverses are attributed to
their taking the earnings of the local
soap company to make up for the losses
at the Benicia tannery, which has proved
a bad investment.
