POWERS JOINTLY
WORK FOR PEACE
LOOK TO WASHINGTON FOR
ACTIVE LEAD
AMBASSADORS OFF FOR HOME
Believe Negotiations VIII Take Prac-

Of the Now Pending Naval
Fighs
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. April 2S.-Expecting
that Washington is destined to play an
important part in the preliminary ne
gotiations that will precede the cessa-
tion of hostllities between Russia and
Japan, even though the American cap
ital may not be selected as the scene
of the actual peace negotiations. Baron
Sternberg, the German ambassador.
and M. Jusserand, the French ambassa-
dor, will sail for their respective coun-
tries soon after comforting with Presi-
dent Roosevelt when he returns from
the west.
Baron Sternberg will have several
audiences with the emperor, and M.
Jusserand will see President Loubet
and M. Decasse, to whom will be COM
municated in an entirely unofficial way
the earnest wish of the president that
the war be ended at the earliest possi-
BILE moment
The ambassadors will supplement
their dispatches by personal testimony
of the activity at Washington in this
direction, led by the president, and in
the event of the outlook for the open
ing of peace negotiations this summer
appearing favora BILE, both ambassadors
will be prepared to return to their
posts at once.
Sir Mortimer Durand, the British am
bassador, who sails tomorrow on the
Etruria for London, is in full posses
sion of President Roosevelt's views,
which he will communicate in an in
formal way to King Edward. So far
as their ambassadors at Washington
can judge, King Edward and Emperor
William are as anxious as President
Roosevelt for an early ending of the
war.
Great Britain Tied UP by Alliance
AS the ally of one of the heligerents,
Great Britain is prevented from taking
the friendly initiative open to the presi
dent and emperor William, but the
necessity of the kings cooperation as
well as that of the French government
is readily recognized.
Whatever the result of the naval bat
tie now pending may be- diplomats at
Washington believe the first real OPP
portunity for the successful initiation
of peace negotiations since the war be-
gan will come with the ending of that
engagement. The war has cost both
sides enormously in lives and money
and the defeat of Russia's last fleet
would, 1t is believed, give the Russian
peace party renewed power while even
a partial victory for the Russian fleet
would have the effect of scaling Japan's
peace terms to what Russia would re-
gard as reasona BILE.

HAYS NOT GUILTY,
JURY'S VERDICT
THE RIVERSIDE BANKER IS
ACQUITTED
DELlBERATI0N OF 27 HOURS
Friends Of the Accused Cashier Give
Vent to Their Joy When the
Jury's Decision Is
Announced
DELIBERATIoN OF 27 HOURS
Tom Hays is a free man.


After a deliberation Of nearly twenty
seven hours a verdict of mot guilty"
was returned by the twelve jurymen
and Tom Hays Is acquitted of the
embezzlement charges for which he
has been on trial in the United States
circuit court since March 90 At 5.15
o'clock yesterday afternoon the Jury
men announced that they had reached
an agreement.
AS the twelve men took their seats
in the court room the severe strain
under which they had been laboring
was plainly indicated in their drawn
features, but only a glance at Tom
Hays was needed to see that he was
laboring under a greater strain than
all others together, who had crowded
into the room to hear the ex-cashiers
fate read in the verdict.
mot Guilty"
When the words mot guilty" were
pronounced, murmur increasing to
a buzz swept over the crowded court
room. Tom Hays friends, faithful to
cred to hear the final verdict, crowded
around the accused man in their eager
ness to grasp his hand. The first to
offer his congratulations to the ac-
quilted man was his attorney, e. A.
Meserve, who had waited outside the
juryroom for twenty-seven hours
while the jurymen deliberated within
and jugged with the fate of his client.
Hays. who received the congratula-
tions of his friends with the statement
that he was confident of his acquittal
during the whole trial, left the court
room in company with Mr.. Meserve five
minutes after the verdict was an
nounced.
Hays Out for Dinner
After accepting an invitation to din
ner with his attorney, Edwin A. Me-
serve, Hays went to his home in Ocean
Park. Earl Rogers, who was one of
The principal defenders of Hays, was
out of the city when the verdict was
returned.
On March %, 1904, the Orange Grow
ers' National bank of Riverside, was
forced to close its doors. On that day
over 100000 was paid out to deposi-
tors before IL o'clock. Appeals for
funds from other banks were made
but with no result and the bank was
forced to close it's doors.
1t was claimed on this day that Hays
defalcations amounted to $60000 and
might reach as high as 100000 before
the investigation was concluded.
Books Examined
Hays books were examined by Ma
tional Bank Examiner Wilson and 1t
was learned that they did not balance
by several thousand dollars.
A directors meeting was called and
Hays was requested to send in his
resignation at once. He pleaded for
time and was able to secure the pas
sage of resolution by the bank di-
rectors commencing his fidelity and
zeal as the cashier of the Orange Grow
ers' National bank. After securing
this copy he gave his resignation to the
board of directors.
He was then indicted in the United
States circuit court. When arrested
he gave bail and secured attorneys to
defend him. \

MANIAC ATTACKS
ACTIN c MAYOR
SUMMERLAND MAY OWE LIFE
TO SELF-POSSESSION
MEXICAN BECOMES VIOLENT
After Telling a Long Story Of Alleged
Wrongs the Intruder Rushes
Upon Chief Executive
With Chair

Acting Mayor Summerland proba bly,
owes his life to the fact that he kept
perfectly calm and self possessed while
dealing with a maniac in the seclusion
of the mayors private office late yes
terday afternoon.
A husky Mexican, perhaps 20 years
DID, quietly walked into the mayors
office and asked Secretary McKeag II
the mayor was in. AS McKeag was in
the act of starting for the city clerks
office on the ground floor of the city
hall for some papers he simply directed
the man into the private office where
Mr.. Summerland was sitting at his
desk, and went down stairs.
Mayor Summerland greeted his visitor
cordially and invited him to be seated
as he inquired If there was anything
he could do for him. The Mexican was
perfectly quiet at first and began his
story.
Tells Strange Story
'In 1871 bought several acres of land
near the plaza and beside the mission.
Then 1 went to Panama where 1 own
200 miles Of land. 1 came back to Los
Angeles to get my land here and the
people down there will not give 1t to
me-" BY this time he was wildly excited
and gripping a chair he began making
wild swings with 1t and muttering
imprecations against those who held
his land.
Several times he sidled toward the
mayor with the chair and Summer
land jerked open the top drawer in the
desk, where revolver is usually kept,
only to find 1t empty. Looking the
maniac straight in the eye he calmly
told him to sit down and they would
talk the question over and decide what
was best to do.
He first tried to get the man to go
to Chief of Police Hammel, telling him
that the chief would give him his
rights, but the man would not go.
When asked his name the insane man
put his hand to his head and said, "I
can tell you pretty soon. l get so mad
forget everything and get mixed up
in the head" Then the wild express
sion came over his face and he again
gripped the chair and struck at his
imaginary enemies as he hurled i'm
precautions in Spanish and English at
them.
Mayor Outlets Him
Mayor Summerland again succeeded
in quieting him and talked with him
seriously for a few minutes, finally
persuading him to go back and at
tempt to get his property, and If un-
successful to go to Captain Auble with
his troubles. The maniac was assured
that the captain would go with him
after his lost property.
This scheme made a favorable i'm
preston on the insane property seeker
and after a little more persuasion he
left the mayors office and disap-
peared.

INTIMIDATING
SETTLERS
On the Public Domain, is the charge against
William Fraser. The Shespman.

The United States grand jury has return
ed an indictment against William Fraser,
one of the big Sheepmen of Torrance Coun-
ty, on the charge of intimidating settlers
on the public domains A deputy mar
shal is expected shortly to subpoena wit
nesses in the case to appear in court at
Albuquerque
twill be remembered that about year
ago, or more accurately last April at the
time when J. A. Williams was living off
the Estancia people, Mr.. Fraser brought
suit before Justice Garnett against A. E.
Gilmore for forcible entry and unlawful
detainor, of tract of land north of the
toWnsite which Gilmore claimed as a
homestead and Fraser as a sheep ranch,
The case was heard by a jury and result
ed in hung jury. Change of venue was
taken to Manzano, where Mr. Fraser
readily won out. Gilmore appealed to
the District court, but notwithstanding
the appeal, the officers appeared demand
ing of Gilmore his cattle to pay the costs
in the case.
About this time a similar suit was
brought against J. A. Bryant, but this
was not pushed as far, behaving secured
good legal counsel.
The matter was brought to the atten.
ton of the government authorities with
the result above mentioned.
There are few others in the valley who
are claiming more land than they can le-
gaIIy hold, who would do we'll to profit by
this and avoid trouble. The idea that
four boards nailed together will hold
homestead is not Uncle Sam way of
looking at it when an actual settler
settler comes along and your Uncle Sam
uel will favor the man on the land.

IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED BY
DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION.
Will Park Court House Grounds Favor Dipping Plant Here
Talk Artesion Water.

The postponed meeting of thu EstBn-
cia Valley Development Association
occurred on last Saturday night. A
goodly number of members were present
and an interesting and profitable session
enSued.
President Corbett called the meeting to
order and III the absence of the secretery
Mrs. J. P. Dunlavy was chosen secretary
pro TEN. Aletter from S. B. Grimshaw
of the Santa Fe Central Ry. Co., in re
gard to the location of a sheep dipping
plant at Estancia, was read and discussed.
Upon motion, a committee of three was
appointed to draft suitable resolutions in
answer to the same which were unani-
mously adopted by the association, as
follows:
Whereas, the Santa Fe Central Ry.Co.
has through the Assistant to the President
and General Manager, informed US of the
intention of building a sheep dipping plant
at some point along the line of said road,
and the said Assistant to the President aud
General Manager has addressed a number
of the citizens of Estanca in the matter;
And, Whereas, we are confident that
such an enterprise would benefit the town
and community wherein it is located and
would bring more or less business to that
community,
Therefore be itresolved, by the Estancia
Valley Development Association, in meet
ingasSembIed, that we do hereby express
our approval of the generous offer and
pray the said Santa Fe Central Ry. Co. to
locate the said Dipping Plant near Estan-
cia,
Provided, however, that the same be
located at sufficient distance to avoid the
offensive stencil from entering the town
site proper.

DOES ESTANCIA
WANT IT?
Sheep Dipping Plant to be located along line
of the Santa Fe Central

Late last week number of our citizen
received personal letters from Mr.. S. B.
GrmshaW, Asst to the President and
General Manager of the Santa Fe Cen
trail Ry., stating that the company has
under adviSement the building of sheep
dipping plant and asking if the citizens of
Estancia would have any objections to
its. location here.

build up the future City of Rest, got busy
to see what the people thought Milton
Dow, the sheep man who recently pur-
chaed several lots here on which he will
erect Estancia'S first tWo-story building,
said: "Do we want it? Of course we do.
We want all the business we can bring to
EStancia Yes, sir, we want it."
T. J. Heady, not only favored the plan,
but wanted cattle dip added.

who spoke in the same way.
In the evening the Estancia Valley
Development Association took up the
matter and passed strong resolutions favor

the report of the meeting.
The natural place for the location Of a
