The oldest penalty for being pretty

by ro-year-old Helen George, Of 81 john
son street, Brooklyn, who has been so
violently beseiged by score of admir-
ers whom she never saw or heard OF
before that she has been driven i'll by
their attentions. For more than 10 days
the girl was unable to set foot in the
street without being dogged by one or
more OF the men, who waited for her
at darkened corners and even camped
all night on her doorstep. The fact that
her two brothers thrashcd one OF her
suitors so severely that he almost need
ed the services of an ambulance sur
geon, and the arrest Of another OF the
men by the police seems not to have
abated the fervor of the remainder The
man arrested was Antoine Bardare, 20
years old. The police believe that some
disappointed suitor has hired a num-
ber of braves to persecute the girl. De-
tectives have been detailed to solve the
affair.

HUNTlNGT0N'S HAND

BIG TRANSFER is MADE TO

Special to Tho Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN DIEGO. Dec. 30.-With the close
of the year at the court house there
were recorded deeds to property valued
at $232,225 by the Fletcher-Salmons In
vestment company. The transfer of the
land is from fifteen different persons to
Charles Forman, secretary of the Pa
cific Light and Power company of Los
Angeles, with which II. T.. Huntington
is connected. The total number of acres
transferred is 9412.
County Clerk Salmons, one of the
firm which has been reported to have
been buying for the Huntington inter-
ests, said
This record comprises only about
one-third of the lands which have been
purchased by the F'letcher-S -Salmons In
vestment company in the San Luis Rey
valley. OF course, these transfers have
not been In our name, but we have been
rapidly accumulating property for some
time past"
The transfer of all this land to
Charles Forman is conclusive evidence
it is believed in San Diego that FL. IG
Huntington is back of the scheme
These transfers comprise all of the
Monserrat ranch, the Madison Smith
property near Pala, practically all OF
Doan valley and all the land lying be-
tween La Jolla Indian reservation on
the San Luis Rey river and Warner S
hot springs.
1t is understood that more transfers
will be recorded early next week. Wher
the holdings have all been transferred
the total will amount to nearly 100000
One transfer which will he recorded
next week will amount to over $l25,000
II wish you would state emphaticallS
that all the water impounded by this
project will afterwards be used or
lands in San Diego county exclusively
said Mr.. Salmons. "There has been a
story to the effect that it would be
carried to Los Angeles, but know this
to be incorrect"

Statement Issued to Voters

LONDON, Dec. 3O-"The dscom-
ffture of the unionists" is the keynote
OF manifesto which the United Irish
League of Great Britain issued today
for the guidance of Irish voters In
Great Britain as to their attitude at the
Forthcoming elections. The executive
council of the United Irish league held
three-hours' session i'm London this
morning and under the presidency Of
7. p. O'Conner. NJ. p, John E. Red
mond, who was among those present
drew up the manifesto, which declared
that the first duty OF the Irish voters
lin Great Britain is ito aid to the ut
most in the discontinue of the great
coalition which has inflicted such i'm
mense injuries upon their country"
Where labor candidates are sound on
the home rule question, the Irish are
recommended to support them. other
wise they should vote for the liberals
The followers of Lord Rosebery are
excluded from the latter category and
the manifesto promises special advice
to voters in constituencies where there
Is choice between a unionist and u
Rosebery candidate. The effort to
patch up the quarrel between Mr.. Red
mond and Timothy M Healy have ap-
parently failed, as it was announced to-
day that the Irish party had decided to
oppose Mr.. Heay when he seeks re-
election for North Leith.

STRONGHOLD OF STRIKERS IS
B0MBARDED
Governor Doubassoff Assumes offen-
slve Against Revolutlonaries.
Many Lives Lost in the
Engagement
BY Associated Press.


MOSCOW, Dec. go, 6 p. m.-Gov. Gen.
Doubassoff today assumed the offensive
against the revolutionary stronghold in
the northwestern or Presna quarter,
and all day the inhabitants Of the city
have been listening to the thunder of
cannon and the rattle OF small arms.
At this writing firing is still audible,
but more distant, and the lurid glare
In the heavens shows that many struc-
lures are in flames.
1t was essentially q surprise attack.
During the night artillery and machine
the Presna district, all of which were
heavily harricaded, st 4 o'clock this
morning the troops began an advance,
clearing the way ruthlessly. By 10
o'clock most of the region had been
cleared and the main body of the in
surgents and strikers had been driven
into the Prokharoff cotton mills, an inn
mense establishment which was forti-
fled to stand a siege. A smaller force
of the revolutionaries held the Korno-
soft, another four-story factory, in
Kudrinsky place. The latter was bonn
barded and reduced without much diff
Guilty. 1t is impossible to pentrate the
quarter as the pickets have the strictest
orders to allow no one to pass.
The artillery fire was resumed at
o'clock this afternoon and continues.
According to officers at Gov. Gen. Dou-
bassoff'S headquarters the Prokharoff
mill is momentarily expected to fall,
and it is asserted that it is the pro-
gram to finish the revolt tonight. 1t
is admitted that the slaughter has been
immense.
The Reminovsky regiment is said Ia
have distinguished itself in many places
by storming barricades and is the
heaviest loser on the side of the troops
A terrible affair took place at a
workmen's tea house in Novaya Dere-
voya street near the Presna district
1T was surrounded by the "black hun
dreds." who finally applied the torch
and were watching the victims inside
consumed by the flames when Cossacks
arrived on the scene.
Gov. Gen. Doubassoff has posted an
imperial ukase guaranteeing pardon to
strikers who have not used arms.

The expedition will not be hampered
by a lack of funds. The flying ma

Mediterranean and North seas.
In June all paraphernalia are to be
assembled in Norway and the start
will be made from Spitzbergen, which
will be the headquarters. The start
will not be made until the weather is
favorable, and Mr.. Wellman will send

In discussing his chances he says
that with fair weather the expedition

Special to The Herald.
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 30.--Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Albert Schoonover re-
turned from CaleXico tonight after
working out the details of murder
at that place. Three Indians were
bound over to answer for the crime.
The story of the crime is this: About
midnight Christmas two Indian women
who live in a shack near CaleXico
heard the noise of a struggle not far
from their shack. They saw one man
lying on the ground and three others
standing over him. The three men
then ran away, leaving the other ly
ing on the ground.
Later the men returned and dragged
the body some distance away to a
place where it was found next day. 1t
appeared that the victim, an Indian
named Francisco Levarde, had been
seized from behind, his arms bound
with strong fence wire. He was
stabbed several times in the back. His
throat was cut i'll two places, one cut
on each side of the windpipe and
either sufficient to have caused death.
After his investigation Mr.. Schoon-
over caused the arrest Of Jim Sofie,
Jose Maria and Guillermo Gonzales
Indians. These were identified by the
Indian women as the men they saw
standing over the PROSTATE form of the
man near their cabin. The Indian wo-
men were held as witnesses and all
five will probably be brought here to
Jail today. They spent last night in
the Los Angeles Jail.
The motive of the crime has not
been clearly established, but it is al
legged that there had been trouble of
long standing between the men. The
scene of the crime is across the New
river from CaleXico and some distance
from the Mexican line.

EMMONS VOLUNTARILY
SURRENDERS HIMSELF
is LODGED IN COUNTY JAIL AT
SACRAMENTO
Sheriff Reese Is Still Wondering How
1t Happens That He Has the
Former State Senator as a
Boarder
'3y Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 30.--An air of
something approaching the mysterious
surrounds the voluntary location of
former Senator T.. j. Emmons in the
county Jail in this city. Emmons it
will be remembered, was never sur
rendered by his bondsmen and his
bonds have never been presented in
court for cancellation. Sheriff Reese
has never been served with a legal
notification of the surrender of EN-
mons or with the return of his bonds,
and spends considerable time wonder
ing how it happens that he has a
boarder and not the scratch of a pen
or a record of the court to warrant
him IN holding Emmons.
Emmons was not surrendered to the
sheriff by his bondsmen, or by any of
them. If there was a feeling of un-
rest among the bondsmen there is no
record of it in Sacramento county.
Nor is that all. 1t transpires that
Emmons did not come to this city for
the purpose of surrendering himself
to the sheriff. Emmons said as much
himself to a number of the county Of
ficers. 1t was for an entirely different
purpose, according to his own state
ment, namely, because he expected his
wife to follow him to Sacramento. She
has not yet arrived here. He volun-
tarily walked into the county Jail and
asked to be locked up, but it now ap-
pears that If the fancy strikes him he
can walk out and his bondsmen still
will be responsible. Such is the opin-
ion of Assistant District Attorney J..
r. Hughes.
Judge E. C. Hart said:
IF Emmons did not surrender HIM
self for the purpose of releasing his
bondsmen the sheriff has no authority
to hold him in case he desires to get
out, and Emmons gave me to under
stand that 1t was for widely different
reason that he entered tire county
Jail"
