Unless Cattle Quarantine Is:
Relaxed by Government Great
Herds in South Must Perish

Leading cattlemen in this city say
that unless the Government can be in
duced to temporarily relax it's quaran-
tine regulations against the tranSporta-
ton Of cattle out of the southern coun-
ties Of the State, where prolonged.
drouth has made feed very scarce the
los by death of cattle VIII run into mill
ions of dollars. There is grass for the
cattle to eat if they can be moved to it.
Fortunes depend on one or. two con-
tingencies-that rain shall speedily fall
in the south and that it be a. warm
rain that will not chill and kill thou
sands of cattle that are debiIitated and
unable longer to endure extremes; or
that the National Government and the
county governments Of California that
have quarantine ordinances shall yield
to the present pressing emergency.
At one time the quarantine lines of
the National Government took in all

In the north the greater share Of the

quarantine is still effective, there is
great need for some remedial measure
The quarantine is rigorous in the
counties of San Luis Obispo, Santa
Barbara, Ventura, San Bernardino,
Orange, Riverside and San Diego. In
the counties of Merced, MADEIRA, Fresno,
Tulare and Monterey cattle are freely
moved after special inspection, which
is relaxation of the former regula-
tions. Like indulgence in the face of
imminent heavy losses is sought for
the other counties mentioned.

came to weep at the sorrows of sniis-
guided Lady Isabel, Eugene T.hais
Lawton, or to revile the. villain who
tore her from her noble but too COM
plaisant husband and her babies. we're
alike given the fullest opportunity. All
over the orchestra dainty handkerchiefs
were in use and the refrain of Then

extra sniffles from sentimental maid
ems. Sir Francis Levison: George P.
Webster, received a. sibilant excOria-

Carlisle won the sympathies of the
lower floor; because his wife. Lady .1sa-
bel, was led into jealousy and left him;
he also won yells' of approval from the
gallery because he said the lady, being
his. wife, was beyond reprOach. There
was a comfortable appearing Barbara
Hare, who took the good things that

knows it is only 2 matter of time when

EWINC'S SCHEME
BEFORE A JURY
Manager of the Standard Oil
Promotion and Investment
Company Placed on Trial
VICTIMS POOR PEOPLE
Promised Big Dividends That
Never Arrived and Their
Principal Also Melted Away

William B.. Ewing, secretary-treas-
urer and general promoter of the de-
funct Standard Oil Promotion and In
vestment Company: was placed on
trial yesterday before a jury and
United States District Judge de Haven
on an indictment charging him with
having used the mails for the purpose
of defrauding. Several victims of the
scheme testified yesterday and the trial
Will be resumed this morning.
Ewing organized the company
and incorporated it on December 81,
1901. On the anniversary of national
independence, July 4, 1901. Ewing left
this city and hid himself in Chicago,
but John H. Bricker, relentless post
Office inspector, tracked him to his lair
and haIed him before the. outraged
LIaiesty of the law.
The bait offered to the victims was
neatly printed and elegantly worded
prospectus announcing that the OBJ
Ject of the company was to organize oil
companies and finance them with all
the way from 100000 to. $4,000, 900
capitalization. The company professed
TO transact a cooperate investment
business and to give to the investor Of
enJoyed by kings of finance and mar
ket leaders" After thirty days each
investor was to receive pro rata shares
of the profits for that month in checks
guaranteed to be as good. as United
States gold bonds. The prospectus
averred that the company was repre-
sented in every oil producing district
IN California and Texas. In order to
show the good faith of the company
each investor, after having had his
money in possession of the company
for ninety days, was at liberty to with
oraw in cash the whole of his invest
ment, together with his share of the
earned profits, upon giving thirty days
notice in writing.
A. NJ. AUbertus was appointed agent
of the company at Sacramento, and,
believing in the representations of
George B. CLANCY, the vice president
OF the corporation, he induced several
of his friends to invest. Among the
deluded ones was Mrs. Mary Hansen
of BrodeFick,- Yolo County. She tes-
titled yesterday that she put in $500
and drew out $64 in dividends She
was satisfied with the dividends as
such. but she failed to recover a dollar
Of the principal. Mrs. Annie Guthrie
Of Sacramento put in S4o0 and lost it
al. Charles F. Dosch of the same
place bade farewell to $500 and Fred
Almond contributed $500. to the
credulity fund. All testified before the
Grand Jury that they had been in
duced to invest their money upon the
representations made in prospectuses
ard letters sent them. through the
mails by Ewing.

AIcaZar.

"a Colonial Girl" written by Grace
Livingston and Abbey Sage Richard
son, brought out the Alcazar's principal
players in well-fitting roles last night.
The play is billed as romantic COM
edy, but comedy is its weakest element.
Some of the scenes are so strong ana
drawn with such Geft consistency that
they would reflect credit upon some
playwrights of the opposite sex who
are better known to fame than either
of the ladies mentioned. The comedy,
indeed, is composed largely OF conven-
tional Iovesick Stiffness by the juvenile
man and the ingenue, and is so over
shadowed by the dramatic force of the
serious matter as to seem like Sc much
flling-up stuff. The climax of the sec
ond act is worked up to coherently
