George A. Knight Is Men
toned for National
Committeeman.
BY F. W. BISHOP.
STAFF Correspondent of The Call.

ON BOARD THE CALIFORNIA
DELEGATIONS SPECIAL TRAIN,
RENO, New, June 15.-The California
delegation to the Republican National
Convention has traversed the Golden
State and now speeds eastward across
the silver land.
An enthusiastic farewell from San
Francisco citizens and cordial greet
ings from citizens along the route have
served to animate the more the buoy
ant spirits of the delegates and their
guests. Weary from the exertions of
their preparations for the trip to Chi
cago, the women OF the party were
willing to rest as soon as they boarded
the train, but the delegates, anxious to
settle bothering questions Of politics
were soon grouped in the drawing
rooms and smoker engaged in discus
sion.
Delegates from south of Tehachapi
admit that San Francisco is entitled
to the national committeeman and in
all probability George A. Knight will
be called upon to accept the office at
the meeting of the delegation to be
held at the headquarters in the Audi
torium, Chicago, next Monday at
10 a. m.
Mr. Ruef is willing to accept the Of
fee of national committeeman and
canVasSed the situation to a limited
degree, but his friends among the dele
gates say he will yield to the wishes of
those that favor knight and there will
be no contest. Judge j. w. Mckinley
of Los Angeles was spoken of, but he
declined the honor.
M A Gunst, delegate from the
Fourth District, has his eye on an Of
fee he believes he can fill to the satis-
faction of all. He seeks to be Califor-
MAS representative on the committee
that will formally notify President
Roosevelt of his nomination. So far
these are the most important questions
OF a political nature to be discussed by
the delegates.
At every station along the route q
crowd had gathered to wave flags and
cheer The people of Sacramento.
which city was reached at 2:O5 O'Clock
this afternoon, had turned out in force.
A brass band crashed and blared fare
well to Governor Pardee and the other
delegates.
The reception of the delegates that
came in on the train by the Sacramen-
tans was as warm as their climate and
the degree of this is superlative.
Truckee was left behind at $40 D. m.
and the little city of Reno. after put
ting the Nevada delegates aboard.
waved good-by at 9:45 O'clock.
The desert with it's hot winds and
dust is ahead, but with Secretary
Steppacher. the lord and master of two
porters and the wine car, there is little
to fear from the wastes of alkali.

WITNESS NAY
REFRESH MIND
Important Ruling Is Made
10y Judge Lawlor in the
Trial of Jacob Eppinger
SEES GRAIN SHIPPED
{. A. Cove Reiterates State
mentS of Others Regarding
Disappearance of Wheat

Ia the trial OF Jacob Eppinger.
charged with obtaining money under
false p1etenses. Judge Lawlor made an
important ruling when he decided that
a witness might refresh his memory
from data not in his own handwriting,
providing he was positive il was COM
piled from his own notes. Judge Law
lOr, in making the ruling. said that az
the witness. Bunker, had testified the
items enumerated in his book were
copied from memoranda furnished him
by Deputy Inspectors Cove and
McAvoy and the witness Cove had
compared his memoranda with the
items in Bunker's book and made cor
rectons, he might refer to the book
at will
This was considered a point for the
prosecution. as Bunker's book shows
q record Of quantity and quality Of
grain in the warehouse as reported by
the deputy inspectors from day to day.
BY II the prosecution seeks 70 show
conclusiyely that the grain on which
The firm Of Eppinger < CO. borrowed
money in April, 1903, had been shipped
from the warehouse in December 1902.
On direct examination District At
tOrney ByingtOn asked the witness if
the book made out by Bunker and
could swear that II was correct, 10
which Cove replied in the affirmative.
He was then, as former witnesses
have been, asked a series Of questions
regarding the location Of the ware
houses at Crockett and Port Costa,
WhetheE he rode or walked when jour
neying from cne 10 the other and If
so, why.
Cove stated positively that he had
seen the wheat on which the Eppinger
concern borrowed money in April Of
1903, loaded on the French bark Pierre
Lott IN December Of 1902. He identi-
fed the particular grain by the lot
numbers on the sacks
On the other hand the witness also,
On cross-eXamination, testified that il
was customary 10 substitute lots OF
wheat, the quantity and quality being
alone considered. The instance of lot
709 being taken for 10 was cited and
the witness said he remembered the
occurrence and that the substitution
was made 10 save truckage and re-
piling.
Despite the admOnitiOns Of the court
