OPEN VERDICT
IN MOAk CASE
Inquest Fails to Throw Any
Light on Mysterious Murder
of Young Woman Near Chico

CHICO, Feb. 1.-THE Coroner held
an inquest to-day in the case of Eva
Moak the young woman who was shot
on her mothers ranch near here Tues
day and who died on Wednesday. A
verdict of murder by some unknown
party was returned by the jury.
James Moak, brother of the deceased,
testified that on Wednesday night he
received a communication that caused
him to suspect a certain person. The
name of the suspect was not divulged,
but was given to the District Attorney.
The theory that the young woman
knew her assailant and shielded him is
not credited in the face of the testi-
mony of the family. Each member of
the family declares that the dead girl
did not know her assailant and repeat
edly so stated. Mrs. Moak testified
concerning her daughters flight from
the barn to the residence, bleeding
from three wounds. She also told of
the measures taken for the girls relief.
None of the family noticed any one
about the barn or ranch.
The peddler who claims to have seen
the body of man in Butte Creek to-
day said the body was covered with
slime and appeared as if it had been in
the water for several weeks. The body
was not found, though the creek was
searched for a mile.
The officers are working on a theory,
but decline to talk for publication.

NEEDHAM TALKS
FOR CALIFORNIA
Congressman Urges That This
State Be Selected as Location
for the Maneuver Grounds
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Represen-
tative Needham appeared before the
House Committee on Military Affairs
this morning and made a telling ad
dress, not in behalf of any one of the
sites for a camp and maneuver grounds
claiming preference in California, but
for the State as a location against any
other State on the coast. His speech
was a business and common sense ar
gument against theory and sentiment.
He set forth that the California Ma
tional Guard numbered 3400 and the
regulars now stationed in the State
7300 or nearly 1900 men to be moved
long distances by rail or steamer
should the camp be located in some
other State. Washington, which is the
only competitor on the coast for the
camp ground, has but 500 militiamen
and only 2200 regulars are stationed
there. The number of both militia and
regulars in Oregon, Idaho and Arizona
which would be modified at the camp
is very small. The cost of transporta-
ton and the time spent en- route by
larger body of men seemed to Needham
factor of such Importance as to al
most necessarily determine the location
in California. AS between the several
sites under consideration, he declared
he had no word to say, but thought
that this, and, indeed, the whole mat
ter, could be safely left to the War De-
partment.
Representatives Cushman and Jones
of Washington will be heard next
Tuesday in behalf of the claims of that
State.
Several bills introduced a few days
ago by Senator Perkins, making appro-
priations for the improvement of the
lighthouse service along the Pacific
Coast and by Senator Foster in the in
terest of the same in Puget Sound and
on the Washington coast were reported
favorably from the committee to-day
