Romaldo Roybal, treasurer OF Mora
county, who was in the city yester'
day, left for home this morning. Mr..
Roybal regrets exceedingly the action
of his deputy in misappropriating
county funds, but affirms that he will
readily pay shortage. Some weeks
ago, Mr.. Roybal discovering that his
deputy had been guilty Of irregularity
dismissed him, and since that time
he has been conducting the office him
self. It is now believed the shortage
is not as great as at first stated
though no definite figure can be
named until territorial auditor SAT
ford has had time to examine the
books. From many sources comes
confirmation Of the statement made yes
terday by district Attorney Davis, that
Roybal has not only not been a party
to any crookedness. but that his con
duet has been in the highest degree
praiseworthy.

Russia Buys Steam
ships ON the Pa
CifiC Coast.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, March 2.-The Northern
Pacific's trans-Pacific steamships Ia
coma, Victoria and Olympia have been
sold to John Rosene, manager of the
Northeastern Siberian Company, which
holds important mining and CONNER
cial concessions covering Eastern Sibe-
ria from the Russian Government. In
this enterprise Rosene is a partner of
Ferdinand Peck, former Minister in st.
Petersburg. The fact that Rosene has
recently returned from St. Petersburg
and the further fact that so much ton
mage is not needed in the trade of Cape
Nome and the northern coast of Siberia
leads to the supposition that he is act
ing as agent for the Russian Govern
ment. The belief exists among ship
ping men that the steamships will be
used in transporting supplies, forage
and possibly ammunition by the North
ern Siberian route to the Russian army
BY crossing Bering Sea from Dutch
Harbor, thence through KuriI Straits
and across the sea of Okhotsk the
steamships could reach Nikolaivsk, at
the mouth of the Amur River, and sup
plies could thence be transported to
the interior of Siberia and to Vladivo-
stok. From Khaborovka, on the Amur.
a railroad runs direct to Vladivostok
A young sea captain residing in Ia
coma says that a month ago he was
approached by an agent of the pur-
chasing company and asked if he could
take the vessels to the mouth of the
Amur.
Shipping men cannot figure how the
NOrtbaact Siberian C'OmDapu could q p
ford to pay 100000 spot cash for the
steamships purchased.
The sale of the steamships does not
affect trans-Pacific traffic, which for
two years has been handled chiefly by
three lines out of Tacoma, which ope-
rate larger steamships.

GRIFFITH JURY
FINDS VERDICT
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, March 2.-Colonel
Griffith J. Griffith, who until his pres
ent trouble was rated as a millionaire,
was convicted tonight of assault with
a deadly weapon for having attempted
to murder his wife at the Hotel Ar
cadia, Santa Monica, on September 20
last, and for the first time in his ca
reer spent tonight in a cell in the
County Jail. The case has been on
trial for nearly two weeks, Griffith
having been charged with assault with
intent to commit murder. His plea
was insanity, due to drink. There was
no denial of the shooting. but his at
torneys sought to tighten the penalty
by urging that Griffith had been on a
spree of several years duration and at
the time he fired the shot he was not
mentally responsible for his actions.
Scores of experts, some of whom
were brought from as far as Chicago,
testified in the case and every possi-
BILE effort was made to show that
Griffith was insane. The jury took
no stock in this plea by the defense
and after being out six hours rem
dered a verdict of assault with dead
ly weapon, the maximum penalty for
which is two years in the penitentiary
and $4,000 fine. After the verdict was
rendered Griffith was taken into Gus
tody by the Sheriff and spent the
night in Jail. There will be no appeal
from the verdict

Russians Show Less
Bitterness Toward
This Nation.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 2.-The
Russian Government earnestly desires
the conservation of the ancient friend
ship between the United States and
the empire. The opinion is expressed
here that the two countries are now on
the eve of a better understanding of
the points concerning which differ
ences have existed The campaign of
recrimination, which is progressing in
a portion of the press of both coun-
tries, is deprecated. and the Govern
ment here specifically disavows respon-
sibility for the utterances of some Rus
sian newspapers against the United
States. which in turn have inflamed a
portion of the American press against
Russia.
An official Of the Foreign Office
pointed out to-day the erroneous i'm
preston prevailing abroad that Rus
sian newspapers, owing to the censor
ship exercised over the news, expressed
only views sanctioned by the authori-
ties, whereas, as a matter of fact, the
newspapers editorially have the widest
latitude and frequently embarrass the
Government by their unrestrained
criticism of other countries.
The correction of the original version
of the Vicksburg incident at Chemulpo
has already affected Russian public
opinion favorably. The report of Com
mander Marshall, captain of the Vicks-
burg, has been communicated to For
eign Minister Lamsdorff by United
States ambassador Mccormick, and
the formal thanks of the Russian Ad-
miralty will be rendered as soon as a
detailed report is received from the
captain OF the Variag.
The Foreign Office points out that
the view held in Washington. regard
ing foodstuffs as contraband of war,
agrees with theirs, if such foodstuffs
are destined for private individuals.
A difficulty will be to determine the ul-
innate destination Of such material 1t
might be consigned to private parties,
but eventually reach the military Gov
ernment. The Foreign Office holds that
foodstuffs shipped in large quantities
are subject to suspicion, as this would
be prima facie evidence that the ma
terial was designed for the use Of the
military.
