Place of j. w. Wilson


SACRAMENTO, May 15.-Former

vices received in this city this evening,
will be released from the county jail to-
morrow morning. The sheriff's office
was notified that Frenchs lawyers will
be in this city tomorrow with bonds

decided that it would be advisable for
him to surrender French to the sheriff

made to secure the release of French by
habeas corpus proceedings, but it
failed. French was landed in the
county jail last Sunday evening and
has remained there ever since, declin-
ing to be interviewed and refusing to
see all callers except close personal
friends. 1t is understood that French's
lawyers will arrive here on the first

LONG BEACH, May 15.-Mrs. Ade-
laide Tichenor, president of the Long
Beach Ebell club, discovered today that
her house at 644 West First street had
been entered and robbed of about $500
worth of jewelry. She does not know
when the theft occurred as she looked
in her jewelry case today for the first
time in about a week. She thinks,
however, that the thief entered her
fhouse Saturday night while she was
attending the bazar that was being held
by the Ebell club in the beach casino.
There was no evidence that night how
ever, of anything having been dis
| turned. The doors of the house were
carefully locked and the thief, if he
entered, must have used pass key.
The jewelry taken consisted of g
diamond pin worth 5000, a pair of gold
bracelets, two antique gold brooches
and a butterfly pin. They had all been
secreted and could have been discovere
only by long and methodical search.
The robbery has been reported to the
police here but clews are so completely
lacking that Mrs. Tichenor has small
hopes of getting her jewelry that way.
She has advertised that if the thief will
return these articles she will pay more
than can be realized on them anywhere
else and will ask no questions.
The Tichenor robbery is the most
serious of a succession of burglaries
and hold-ups that have alarmed the city
within the past week. The house of r.
H. Hingley at Third street and Pacific
avenue was robbed twice last week, the
thieves securing money and jewelry
each time, and Saturday evening two
men were held up and robbed in the
heatr of the city. So far there has not
been the slightest clew in any of these
cases.

APPROVE BOND AND CONTRACT
%4***~s%.s=%*s*s***a*****s@

The Herald was awarded the contract
for the city printing by the council yes
terday and, beginning June 8, 1t will be
the official paper of Los Angeles.
The city's legislative body demon
strated its fairness and non-partisan
spirit by awarding this important con-
tract to the lowest responsible bidder
Immediately, without the bubble and
delay which has characterized the con-
test for the award Of the contract In
years past.
The bids were opened as usual at IL
O'Clock, and when all were in an effort
was made to hand the contract to
Willie Hearst's local colored supple
ment. The motion to this effect how
ever, received no support and went
without a second. The council was
then forced to listen to a long argu-
ment against the awarding of the con-
tract to any but the aforesaid colored
supplement and another motion failed.
The alleged member from the Sixth
ward made what he considered fierce
attack upon The Herald, declaring that
it is owned by Gen. Otis and that 1t is
"plutocratic" - whatever that may
mean. But his frothings were kindly
and gently overlooked. His mad raw
ings were recognized as unworthy Of
consideration or belief and were re-
ceived in silence.
On a motion of Councilman Kern the
bids were referred to the committee of
the whole, which is the logical refer
ence for such bids. Directly after the
council adjourned at noon the COM
mittee of the whole was called to-
gether and the question thoroughly
thrashed out.
Other speeches were made, but when
the vote was called for the ballot stood
6 for The Herald and 1 against. The
committee of the whole thereupon drew
up it's report recommending to the
council that the bid of The Herald be
accepted.
During the intermission another
Hearst rally was held, but the council
men were not to be moved from what
they deemed the right course, and when
the report was presented to the coun-
Gil it was adopted without a dissenting
vote and the contract awarded to The
Herald.
Later in the afternoon the necessary
papers were drawn and the bond ap-
proved and contract signed.

WASHINGTON. May ia formal
trial Of the issues between Acting Sec
retary Loomis and Minister Bowen be-
gan today, when Mr. Bowen presented
himself at the White House. He had
sent a card last night to the president

pearing in person at the White House,

who told him that as he had come to
answer his summons, he would be
pleased to have the minister call at
once on Secretary Taft. Mr.. Bowen ac-
cordingly went to the war department
and spent a short time in conversation
with the secretary.
The status of the case is officially
explained as follows:
Saturday night Acting Secretary
Loomis notified Secretary Taft that he
had completed the preparation of his
answer to the various allegations con-
cerning himself. Minister Bowen had
been careful to explain to Secretary
Taft that these were not his charges;
that he merely transmitted them for
the information of the department.
Secretary Taft requested Mr. Loom
Is, In view Of the lateness of the hour,
to defer the submission of his answer
until the following day. Accordingly
Sunday morning Mr.. Loomis waited
upon Secretary Taft and submitted his
answer, with accompanying documents
bearing upon the case. Secretary Taft
went over these with care and told
the president of their contents. 1t
was then agreed that Secretary Taft
should undertake to arrange the mat
ter for presentation to the president.
When Minister Bowen called upon
Mr.. Taft today the latter turned over
to him Mr.. Loomis' answer to the
charges and his counter-charges against
Minister Bowen, to the effect that he
had instigated the circulation of un-
founded reports against his superior
officer, involving p1alfeasance In office
The secretary ardvised Mr.. Bowen to
prepare his answer at once,
This he did tonight and he will pre-
sent 1t to Secretary Taft tomorrow.
Mr.. Bowen declined to give any inti-
nation of its nature.

Saw Neutrality Is Not InfrIneed

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, May 15.-In regard to the
press dispatches saying the Russian
fleet has returned to Honkohe bay the
French officials say they are positive
the Russians are not within French
waters. The officials are not aware of
the exact locality of the fleet, but the
Americans with the French naval and
civil authorities in Indo-China satisfy
the authorities that the Russians re-
main outside French limits.
1t is maintained that the fact of the
fleet being off Honkohe bay does not
constitute breach of neutrality SO
long as the ships remain on the high
seas, and the officials add that French
surveillance assures the Russian fleet
keeping beyond the French three-mile
limit.

REVOLUTI0NISTS IN BAD 0D0R

ST. PETERSBURG, May 15.-With
the Russian May day happily passed
without general disorders, the authori-
ties breathe easier and are inclined to
regard the danger of a really interior
crisis this spring as over. Disturb
ance will doubtless continue and spor-
adic disorders, but the plans of the
social democrats and social revolution
lists to produce dissatisfaction among
the troops and coordinate peasants and
workmen's movements for the creation
of a state of general anarchy have
sIgnally failed.
The only place whence acute dis
order was reported yesterday was
Kishineff and that was in no sense at
tributed to the revolutionists. Appar-
emily a crowd of soldiers off duty got
out of hand, pillaged shops and even
government buildings. and created
reign of terror among the inhabitants
until surrounded and arrested by their
comrades.
1t is now evident that while the social
made a lot of noise they had neither
organization nor real leadership behind
them. Even the terrorists held aloof
while awaiting for bigger game. These
two parties, which have already for
feited the sympathy of the major por-
ton of the Liberals, now stand dis
credited by their failure with the work
ing classes generally. The attempt to
retrieve their lost prestige in St
Petersburg by proclaiming a general
strike for today also has broken down,
the workmen refusing to follow their
leadership.
Period of Calm Expected
A period of calm is now expected to
supervene in which the intelligent ele-
ments of reform which are not in SYM
pathy with violence will devote them
selves, as they are doing, to discussing
and celebrating ideas Of the form which
popular representation should take.
Everything now depends on Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky, but cool observers
are more and more convinced that the
reforms, as in the past, will come from
above and not from below. The people
are not ripe for physical revolution. In
the meantime reforms in all directions
are being worked out, although the
Liberals are too impatient to properly
appreciate the great changes which are
gradually being effected.
The repeal of the law prohibiting
Poles from buying land will be followed
by a general amelioration of the condi-
tion of the Jews. touching particularly
the extension of the right of residence
