CITY MARSHAL
ROBBERS VICTIM
Thieves Get Away With
Santa Rosa Tax
Receipts.
Invade a Stronghold Of Police
men and Take the Con-
tents of the Safe.
Special Dispatch to The CALL

SANTA ROSA, Nov. 19.-The City Mar
shal and Tax Collectors office was rob-
bed here this morning between the hOurS
of and o'clock. The amount taken was
about $1,000. but the exact figures have not
yet been ascertained- 1T was city tax
money which had been paid to Marshal
Charles H. Holmes.
The robbers must have entered the Mar
shal's office. which is in the City Hall.
through the front door, it being wide
open when the burglary was discovered
at o'clock They could not have Wis
tied the place before o'clock, for at that
hour all the policemen doing night duty
reported of, and everything about the Of
fee was then in perfect order. An hour
later Mrs. Jane Samuels. janitress of the
City Hall, arrived She not only found
the outer office door open, but the safe
was standing unlocked. She reported her
discovery to Police Officer Mcintosh, who
lost no time in informing Marshal Holmes
The most peculiar circumstance in con-
nection with the theft is in the way in
which the safe was opened Ihe COM
bination was used. The inner door re-
quireS key, but the burglars were pre-
pared for this. as they had a key to mt 1t.
| The cash taken was in canvas bag and
a number Of checks payable TO Mr.
Holmes as Tax Collector, which were in
/ a box went to keep company with the
| tax money. The safe is old one and

| ing been opened so easily. A key to some
| other safe might have opened the inner
| lock.
A cripple confined in a cell OF the City
Prison which is at the rear OF the Mar
shaIs office, said that he heard voices
ard hammering about the time the rob-
berry is supposed to have occurred.
Marshal Holmes said that as yester-
day was the last day before city taxes
became delinquent the collections had
been very heavy. He had taken nearly
$4,000 to the bank just before it closed
The money taken by the robbers was
what had been paid in after that hour.
He said that he had the only key to the
inner safe door and that when he left
his Office at 10 o'clock last night every
thing was all right As policemen were
constantly dropping in at the office dur
ing the night, he believed the money per-
fectly safe.
Marshal Holmes feels this misfortune
keenIy and declares that il it be within
his power he will personally replace every
cent found missing

MEXIC-CHINESE
STEAMSHIP LINE
M. F. Tarpey Interested
in New Trans-Pacifc
Project.

There is a project on foot to establish a
line of steamships between China and
Mexico A company has been organized
with that object in view NJ. F. Tarpey,
representing the Hearst estate in Mexico,
and John P. Bennett, a local attorney who
has frequently appeared as counsel for
Ho Vow, the Chinese diplomat, are the
organizers and prime movers of the new
enterprise An act is now before the
Mexican Congress providing concessions
necessary for the inauguration Of the new
line. In the southern republic there is no
pronounced sentiment against an ingress
Of Chinese. and the Congress will in all
probability sanction the concessions.
The act provides for the establishment
of two steamship lines. one To communi-
cate directly with China and the Orient,
and the other to confine itself TO trading
on the Pacific Coast and in the Gulf of
Lower California The company is to
have the right of fishing in the Gulf of
Lower California and TO import free of
all duties rice, tea, nut oil, smoked and
dried meats and salt eggs. provided that
these provisions be employed for the ex-
elusive use of Chinese in the service of
the steamship company. The company
guarantees the Mexican Government that
1t will have the lines in operation two
years hence. The concessions are to hold
good for fifteen years.
HAY Be for Benefit of Mongolians.
From what traffic the new company
hopes to derive support for its steamships
is not stated in the act comforting the
concessions. Nor has the company seen
fit to otherwise make known what great
profit exists in Mexican trade to warrant
the establishment of direct communica-
ton between that country and China
The facility of communication that ex-
lists between Mexico and this country has
given rise to the SuDDoSitjon that tho
steamship line is to be established in order
10 enable Chinese desiring entrance into
the United States to evade the exclusion

company, its plans are certainly ingeni-
ously arranged, as after Chinese have

ARGUMENTS ARE BEGUN
IN THE WINANS CASE
Famous Legal Controversy Over a
Crown Legacy Duty Near Its
Settlement

LONDON, Nov 19.-Arguments in the
appeal of Walter and J. L. Winans
against the Judgment of Justices Ken
nedy and Phillimore in November, 19O0.
in awarding the crown legacy a duty ON
the large estate left by their father, W.
L. Winans, was heard to-day. The sole
question at issue is whether the deceased
was domiciled in England Judgment Will
be rendered tomorrow
In November last the Lord Chief JUS
tice's Court in London was occupied in
determining whether the late William L.
Winans. formerly of Baltimore. Md, WAS
a dOmiciled resident of Great Britain
when he died in 1897 This question was
tested through a legacy of $1,000 Willed 10
Winans' sister-in-law, Ellen Delarue, on
which the crown claimed legacy duty.
The court gave judgment for the crown
and the Attorney General remarked that
the decision would affect the whole of
Winans' millions.
William Lewis WinanS died in London
on June 25. 1897. in his seventy-hfth year.
He was born in Baltimore, Md, in 1872.

Russia to arrange the contracts for fur

Wise politicians are saying that Alameda
County needs harmony now more than it
has ever before needed it in that region.

Asking for Lynch's Removal
The San Bernardino papers quote the
unwritten law which provides that United
States Senators shall recommend all ap-
pointments where the beneficiaries have
jurisdiction in more than a single Con-
gressional district. The deduction is
reached that the recommendation of Scu-
alors BARD and Perkins for the appoint
ment of stephen Kelley TO succeed John
{. Lynch will be sufficient to accomplis1 I
the change. In case Perkins recommends
Kelley the Senator will not feel con-
strained to request another Senator to in
form the President that the appointing mt
ought not to be made. Senator Perkins
defended his action in going back on his
own recommendation on the ground that
Lynch was forced upon him by prominent
members of the Republican party. 1t hap
pens this time that the prominent mem
bers OF the party are asking for Lynch $
removal. Lynch is counting on Senator
Hanna S prestige and Nose Gunst's al
legged pull with the President 70 prevent a
change in the Collectorship of Internal
Revenue. The claim is to be advanced
that affairs Of the office have been well
conducted since Lyneh's appointment. As
Lynch has been giving most of his time
to the railroad and politics, the credit for
office management if any be due, must
be given to some one else. If Lynch is so
fond of politics and railroadng, the Sena-
tors may conclude to adjust matters so
that he can give all of his time to help
Herrin. The truth is Herrin needs pollti-
cal help. A great deal of careful and
skillful work must be done in order to
make the boss machine serviceable in the
State campaign. The trainmen who are
next to Herrin hint that Burns is the
hoodoo that caused the recent wreck

Local Chinese Merchants Involved.
The very fact that the concessions pro-
vide that the fishing stations of the new
company shall be in the Gulf of Califor-
MIA gives strength to the supposition that
the whole project is but clever scheme
by which Chinese may be smuggled into
the United States. 1t is rumored that
the Chinese merchants of this city have
subscribed $4,000 toward the securing of
the requisite concessions from the Mexi-
can Government
Another very peculiar, not to say suspi-
cious feature about the enterprise is the
provision granting the company two years
in which to establish the new lines. IT
will be remembered that the Chinese
diplomats who are fighting against the re-
enactment of the exclusion act are de-
mdndlng that the act be suspended for at
least two years. If at the end of that
time, they say. the people of the United
States desire to revive the exclusion act
the Chinese will not object. 1t would al
