MEXICO TAKES
UP THE CASE
Requests That Investigation
Be Made Into the Sentence
Imposed on Florencia Jailles
THE TRIAL IS QUESTIONED
Secretary Hay Directs State
Officials to Examine Into
Proceedings of the Court

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 9.-As a result of
the conviction of Florencia Jailles and
his sentence on June 26 last to twenty
five years in prison on charge of at
tacking an Indian girl, an inYest1ga-
ton is to be made of the court pro-
ceedings at the request of the Mexican
Government. The Mexican Consul in
this city, Senior Lemeli, reported the
case to his Government and as result
the request for an investigation comes
from the highest Mexican authority,
Senior Manuel de Aspiroz, ambassador
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of
the republic of Mexico, who addressed
the matter to Secretary of State Hay,
inclosing the copy of the report of
the local Consul Senior Lomeh, to his
Government. Secretary Hay trans
nlitted the whole to Governor Pardee
of this State, from him it was passed
over TO the States Attorney General
and has now found its way to the Of
flee OF the District Attorney of this
county.
In making his report to the Mexican
Government the local Consul took oc-
casion to draw a parallel between the
case of Jailles, who received twenty
five-year sentence, and that Of H. r.
Proctor, an American, who was held
for an attempted attack on a little girl
at Imperial and through an unfor-
tunate technicality of law escaped
punishment. In pointing these cases
out the local Consul directly insinuates
that this was a discrimination of JUS
tiee against the citizen OF Mexico.
ambassador Aspiroz's letter to Sec
retary Hay states that the guilt of
Jailles appears not to be fully estab-
lished and that no such severity has
been exhibited in the same country
and court to punish like offense as
in the case of Jailles.
The Proctor case referred to result
ed in Proctor's release through tech
nicality, the time limit for trial ter
minating while his attorneys were try
ing to free him in the preliminaries.

DESERTER FROM PRESIDE
is ARRESTED AT MODESTO

Who Escaped i'm 1902, Is in Gus

MODESTO, Dec. 81. w. Wilson,
who has twice been arrested here for
disturbing the peace, will be taken to
San Francisco tomorrow and deliv-
cred to the military authorities at the
Preside on advices from Commander
Morris that he is one Bert McGrath,
under sentence for desertion from the
army. McGrath, alias Jack Wilson,
was sentenced in last April to serve a
term at Alcatraz. On the night of May
2. 1902, while awaiting removal to the
Federal prison, he made a daring es-
cape from the guardhouse at the Pre-
sidio, coming to Modesto shortly after
ward with a woman whom he claimed
to be his wife. Subsequent develop
ments proved that she was the wife
of another man. She grew tired of Nc
Grath and in order to get rid of him
gave the local authorities his history.
A constable viii start with him for San
Francisco tomorrow.

CRAICIE MAKES
BIG DISCOVERY
Well-Known Explorer Strikes
More Direct Route to Daw-
son From Mackenzie River
NAMES THE PASS SEELA
New Trail Runs in Almost
Straight Line and Will Be
Means of Saving Much Time
------ 49,
speciai Dispatch to The can.

TACOMA, Wash, Dec. 9.-W. N.
Craigie, explorer hunter and trapper,
has arrived at Dawson from the Mac
kenzie River with caravan of Peel
River Indians. Craigie led the 1ndi-
ans through a newIy discovered pass
in the Rocky Mountains which brings
the Mackenzie River three hundred
miles nearer Dawson. The old trails
via Porcupine River swung around to
Dawson in a huge senicircle. The new
trail goes in an almost straight line.
Craigie reached Dawson from the
new pass, which he named Seela, in
four days. He was the first white
man to cross it and the Indians were
ignorant of it's existence. Craigie is a
partner of George Bull, another Mac
kenzie River trapper. Four years ago
while Ball was hunting in Twelve Mile
district he looked for a new pass into
the Mackenzie River country, reaching
conclusion that an easier pass could be
found in the vicinity of what is now
known as Seela pass. He told Craigie
of his belief, causing Craigie to exam
inc the range on the Mackenzie River
side and resulting in the discovery now
made. Last summer Craigie and Bull
prospected on Hart River and its trib-
utaries in the Mackenzie River coun-
try. They found Indications of gold,
and will continue panning next sum-
mer.
While Prospecting last September
Craigie came near starving to death
while searching for Bull. Bull left
camp expecting to return the same
night. After waiting three days
Craigie started out to find him, and
for three days he had only one small
whistler to eat. Reaching camp nearly
starved he found Bull in the midst of
plenty. Bull had killed number of
caribou and took time to build a raft
for transporting them before returning.

PRESIDENT JORDAN SAYS
DIPHTHERIA SCARE is OVER
Students of Big University for
Work Performed by Them.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. g.
The last general assembly of the pres
ent semester was held in assembly hall
this morning and Captain Charles
Young of the Ninth United States
Cavalry, one of the very few negroes
who have graduated from West Point,
was the principal speaker.
President Jordan delivered a few re-
marks in regard to the diphtheria
scare, in which he commended the
work of Health Officer w. F. Snow and
the Students Guild, and assured the
students that all danger of a diphthe-
ria epidemic was over, and that there
had not been a single case of. secondary
infection, hence the use of the word
epidemic" in connection with the sit
uatien was improper
Professor c. Searles Of the Romanic
languages department addressed the
students on the subject of the support
of student activities, and condemned
in strong language the 'deadheads"
who occupy the windows of Encinal
Hall during football games and other
athletic meets instead of paying the
regular admission to the athletic field
and thus aid in defraying the expense
of carrying on college athletics.
Captain Young, the principal speak
er, made a plea TO the students on be-
half of the colored people of this coun-
try. The welcome given the speaker
by the students showed very plainly
that they do not draw the color line IN
judging a man. Captain Young said
in part: 1.-The theory of applying i'll
dustrialism to the negroes as practiced
by Booker Washington at Tuskegee is
all right, but when a black man is
thus thoroughly trained industrially
and goes out into the world looking for
work he runs UP against a union and
is told that he need not apply. People
who employ black men are often an
noyed by their neighbors. We have
been urged as a people to give up our
ideas of higher education, and yet you
know that Tuskegee and such institu-
tions could not exist if men trained in
higher education, men with high ideals,
were not at the heads of such institu-
tions. Even though we have great

away from home. The killing created
a great sensation here owing to the
prominence of the persons involved.

vehicle when Reeves shot him.

Such YVES the story brought to Stock

work in the Royal mine at Ho0son by
a San Francisco employment agency
