WEST IN NEED
OF A GUARDIAN
Many Legislative Measures
Affecting California Fail
for Lack of Attention
INDIFFERENCE SHOWN
Members Of Delegation Pre-
pare to Leave for Their
Homes Via Exposition City
Special Dispatch to The Call

WASHINGTON. April 29.-"San
Francisco viii perhaps. now that the
session Of Congress is over, realize the
Importance Of sending a couple Of
capable and loyal representatives TO
the lower House TO take care Of her
interests" said q prominent business
man OF that city who has been here
some weeks looking after legislation in
which he was interested.
There passed this session early
enough TO have secured action in the
House had there been some one TO at
tend TO them several very important
measures in which San Francisco is
especially interested. Chief Of these
was the appropriation Of 100000 for the
immigration depot; then there was the
appropriation Of $500 for the cable from
the Merchants Exchange TO the Quar-
antine Station at Angel Island. A bill
carrying an appropriation OF $4,000 for
the Identification of the Preside
passed the Senate weeks ago. but no
effort was put forth in its behalf in
the House.
Senator Perkins cut the amount down
10 SIS. 600 in an amendment TO the mill
tary appropriation bill, Sut still this
could not get through the House.
Finally Senator Perkins had TO accept
$4,000. This appropriation is intended
exolusively for beautifying the
grounds. so that it was like adding an
other park TO San Francisco's extern
sive system, in which every citizen is
interested, and property owners near
the park especially so.
Not only did San Francisco members
render little or no assistaBce TO these
measures. but they opposed the immi-
grafton depot giving no better reason
dhan tIAt il would relieve the Pacific
Mail from the responsibility Of caring
for immigrants. The appropriation of
several thousand dollars which passed
the Senate for 4 light station al Half
moon Bay failed for lack Of attention

MAY SHIP
CATTLE TO AMERICA
Department of Agriculture Grants
Permission Providing Stock Shall
Not Be for Breeding.

WASHINGTON, April 90. = At to-
days Cabinet meeting Secretary Will
son reported that the Department of
Agriculture had granted permission to
the Venezuelan Government to import
into the United States 1000 head of
Venezuelan cattle. OF course, the Gus
toms duties will have to be paid on the
cattle. They will be shipped to New
York. consigned to an abattoir. No
breeding cattle are to be among the
number imported, the idea being to
use them exclusively for food. The de-
partment is exceedingly careful about
all importations Of livestock, and each
animal imported from Venezuela will
be rigidly Inspected.
Secretary Shaw presented to the
President the commission of DR.. w. D.
Crum as Collector of the port of
Charleston, S. c., and the Presi-
dent signed it.

Hence. Wheeler and Knight held that a
comparison of the three documents
named shows that the Hitchcock COM
munication was the work of the same
hand that produced the specimen OF
pen-printing introduced yesterday from
the letter of 1899, which is charged to
Hyde's woman enemy.
STANDS BY HIS EMPLOYER.
Herbert L. Clarke, Hyde's ccored
clerk, who has figured so often as the
"office boy in the testimony, was
called by Dimond's attorneys. He
proved himself the owner of remark
ably bad memory and showed a strong
sense of loyalty to his employer. HIS
favorite answer was, Il do not remem-
ber." He remembered, however, that
Dimond had authorized him to use his
rubber name stamp for land office let
ters during his absence, and that the
Hyde -Dimond correspondence was flleo
in the office in such a way that every
one about the place had access to II.
His account of his interviews with De-
tective Burns was also given.
Heney cross examined Clarke in
way that soon destroyed any value
his testimony may have had for the
defense. The witness admitted that
only a part of the letters from Dimond
to Hyde were put on the office files
Heney then named a number of the
letters now in evidence which are
claimed by the Government to show
their writer's collusion in Hyde's al
legged fraudulent transactions, and
Clarke said none Of them had ever been
filed within reach of the office staff.
He himself had never seen or heard
Of the letters specified. He also ad-
mitted having agreed with Burns to
keep their interviews secret-a promise
which he had Immediately broken by
telling Hyde all that occurred Clarke
was one of the office boys that carried
deeds and other papers In wholesale
lots to notaries, who obligingly affixed
their acknowledgment or jurat without
seeing the persons whose acts they
purported to attest. He admitted all
this, and was also driven by Fieney to
confess that he had signed his name
as witness to documents to which the
name of the fictitious Elizabeth Di-
mond had been affixed. He had never
