Attorney Ach in a dazed and hopeless
manner as though for a cue the wit
ness said he was no bookkeeper and
did not know the meaning of several
peculiar entries in the book He was
then excused and an expert will go
over the book.
Charles Schirmer. who for twelve
years was assessor in Solano County
but has not held that position for six
years, testified that the land formerly
owned by the Eppingers on Ryers ISL
and consisted OF about 200O acres and
is worth 800 an acre.
What did you assess il fOr?" asked
District Attorney Byington.
The amounts varied during different
years from s. to $25 an acre"
Why, then, do you suddenly increase
the valuation fourfOld?"
After some hesitation the witness re-
piled that it was because he had heard
the land now rented at from $40 to S12
an acre. The case will be continued
this morning.

ATTORNEY WANTS
TWO CLEVER DETECTIVES
Special Duty Would Be to Interview
Men Arrested for Crime and
All the Witnesses.

District Attorney ByingtOn in speak
ing yesterday of the attack upon him
by Attorney Eddy during the inquest
on the body of Mrs. George Curry. who
was shot and killed by her husband,
defended his action in taking a state
ment from Curry and said that every
criminal would be interviewed when
arrested by a representative of his Of
flee. If he had the time he would do
so personally and if he had another
deputy in his Office he would specially
assign him TO do that work.
The District Attorney says he would
like to have in his office two intelli-
gent men, whose duty would be to
crosse examine all people arrested on
criminal charges.
Il think" he said, 'it is criminal
for an official to sit back until a per-
son charged with crime has time to
prepare a false story, to fix witnesses
and plan a cunning defense. The
course to be pursued is to interview
the defendant Immediately after the
commission of the crime and to pro-
cure statements from all witnesses If
a link is overlooked at the beginning
it is frequently lost forever"

Delegation Is Refuted
SECRETARY EXPLAINS
Says No Advance NOtifica-
tiOn Was Sent and Roose-

OYSTER BAY, July 1S.-President
Roosevelt and Secretary Loeb were en-
gagged to-day for several hours in the
transaction of official business at Saga
more Hill. A part of the time was de-
voted by the President to work in
preparation of his speech to be deliv-
cred on the 9th inst when he will re-
ceive his notification of the nomination.
Before the arrival, of Secretary Loeb
the President devoted considerable time
to exercise about the Sycamore Hill
grounds. A favorite exercise of the
President is chopping wood and he in
dulges in this every day. 1t serves to
keep down his weight and he enjoys
it more than any other of his diver
sions except horseback riding.
Concerning the visit to Oyster Bay
yesterday the committee representing
the Central Labor Union of Lack
awanna and Luzerne counties, Pa, Sec
retary Loeb to-day received the follow
ing telegram from John z. Barrett,
editor of the Truth Of Scranton, Pa:
Did President Roosevelt personally
refuse to see committee of miners
yesterday, as reported in this mornings
papers?"
In response to this inquiry, Secretary
Loeb sent to Editor Barrett the follow
ing telegram:
Many thanks for your telegram. The
committee came here and insisted on
seeing the President to present a pc
tition at a time when / could not ar
range it for them. The President did
not know they were here. If they had
sent word that they desired to see the
President l should have been glad to
arrange for them at some convenient
time. AS it was, offered to bring the
petition to the personal attention of
the President. The statement that
the President had any knowledge of
the committees presence in oyster Bay
is not true
When the committee called upon Sec
retary Loeb at the executive Office the
President was absent temporarily from
Sagamore Hill. He was not even with
in telephone communication of Secre-
tary Loeb, and the members of the
committee were so informed

Arrives From the South
san JOSE'S GREETINGS
Gossip in Political Circles
That Frank HI. Short Will
Enter the Senatorial Race

United States Senator Thomas r.
Bard, accompanied by DIR. Chester
Rowen OF Fresno, arrived in the city
last evening from the south and regis
tered at the Occidental Hotel. Dr.
RoWeIl Joined the Senator at San Jose
yesterday morning. During the day
many OF the leading men of the Santa
Clara Valley called at the Hotel Ven
dome and paid their respects to Sena-
tor Bard. The interchange Of greetings
was cordial and free from political dis
cussion.
Senator Bard received many callers
at the Occidental Hotel last evening
ana viii doubtless meet many of the
influential citizens Of the metropolis to-
day Before returning south he will
visit Sacramento.
The Senator is quite well satisfied
with the situation from a Senatorial
point Of view Recent declarations of
leading men in support of his candi-
Cacy for another term in the United
States Senate afford him special pleas
ure. He was asked last night what he
thought Of George A Knights PROPOSE
tion against instruction by county con-
Nentions and frankly replied: The
subject OF instruction should in my
opinion be left wholly with the people.
If popular sentiment in favor of an
aspirant for the United States Senate
is pronounced, the county conventions
or nominating bodies should give ex-
preston to the wishes Of the people"
Ia general way the introduction of
Frank P. Flint and George A. Knight
= rnfaafac for ha favor. Of he
pie was discussed and the fact was
dwelt upon that the Senatorial contest
was exceptionally free from bitterness.
Senator Bard spoke highly of his COM
petitors and predicted that the Legis-
lature would be Republican by a large
majofity.
Referring to the battle in Ventura
County he said. in answer TO inquiries:
Ny friends are sanguine of success
there and in other counties of Southern
California"
Incidentally the remark was made
in Senator Bard's room last night that
the contest might be further enlivened
by the introduction of another candi-
date in the person of Frank H. Short
Of Fresno. 1t is gossip in political cir
cles that definite announcement of
Shorts Intentions will soon be made.
The supporters OF Senator Bard do
not manifest any alarm over the ad-
vent Of new candidates, but solace
themselves with the reflection that a.
large field Of aspirants will promote
rather than hinder the success of the
present Senator.
DR.. ROwen is quite confident of Sen
ator Bard's reelection to the United
States Senate. He bases his belief on
expressions Of public sentiment
throughout the State, and on the fur
ther belief that corporate influences

the will Of the majority Of Republican

TYPHOID GERMS.

The microscope shows that IN the blood
OF every person suffering from typhoid the
little germs can be found as shown above
They are supposed to get into the water or
milk we drink The germs multiply SO
that one germ is capable of producing
ABOUT one hunored trillion germs in TWEEN
ty-four hours. That is why If they ever
get into the water supply of a town they
multiply so fast that nearly everybody
drinking the water comes down with the
disease. There are exceptions however
and they are the persons whose health Is
perfect whose blood is pure, and liver
active When the germs get into healthy
oooy they are thrown of with the other
poisons. Recent Chicago statistics show
that one-eighth Of all the deaths in the
past two years IN that city have resulted
from pneumonia

DISNIISSES SUIT FOR
LACK OF JURISDICTION
Judge Golden Rules He Has No Power
to Dispose of Judgment Debtors
Salary.

10 DISPOSE Oh Judgment DeDUOrS
Salary.
Justice of the Peace Golden yester-
day dismissed the case of Charles
Trull against James Simpson on the
ground that the court has no jurisdic
ton. Trull, as assignee of Bier & Re-
gensburger, sued Simpson. who is
chief deputy tax collector. for $175
on a promissory note. TruIl had OBJ
tanned a judgment against Simpson
and under the new law filed a tran
script thereof and Treasurer McDou-
gald refused to pay Simpsons salary
demand for one month.
Judge Golden ordered the salary
warrant produced in court and ascer-
tained that it was made out in favor
of Simpson, who claimed exemption
from the judgment on the ground that
the salary was required for his sup
port and that of his family. Golden
ruled that the jurisdiction of the court
in the case depends upon the payment
of the amount of the demand into the
court or upon some means of getting
it.
AS neither of the conditions had
been complied with Golden was COM
PEELED to dismiss the suit. The salary
demand will still remain tied up until
other court proceedings to determine
the construction of the law are insti-
tuted.

Kinley and Postoffice Inspector James
OConnell.
Franklin K. Lane and John H. Mar
Bile, counsel for the defendant, an
nounced that they would not put in
any evidence. Lane raised the point
that the complaint found in Cleveland,
Ohio, and the complaint drawn in this
city were not the same Some of the
allegations differed in both complaints.
and Lane argued that they charged
two entirely different crimes.

Assistant District Attorney had not
yet explained why the nam of the VIC
tim used in the foreign complaint was
not the same as in the complaint made
in this city, which contained four
names. Judge Heacock said that if Nc

the complaint he would grant him time.
Mckinley remarked that he would
make the request for leave to file an
amended complaint, and the matter
went over until 9:30 a. m. to-day.
