SAN PEDRO JURY
CONv|CTS ASPLANT
FIRST GAMBLING CONVICTION
IN MANY YEARS
HAS BEEN CUSTOM TO ACQUIT
Opponents of Gambling Are Amazed
and Pleased at What They Be-
Iieve to Be Beginning of
the End

The conviction of Hugo Asplant by
a jury in the police court at San Pedro
yesterday, when he was placed on trial
on a charge of operating a gambling
house, was the first conviction secured
on a similar charge before a jury in
that city in years. He was fined 500
and costs, and the opponents of gamb-
ling are agreeably amazed.
In company with three others, A. M.
Hughes, Asplant was arrested in d
raid conducted by officer Jack Franks
on the night of May s. 1t is alleged
that the four men were engaged in a
game Of five-cent-ante stud-poker, and
the raiding officer secured considerable
cash. which was produced in evidence
before the jury.
Much interest was taken in the case,
a large crowd being In the court room
during the trial, intently watching
every proceeding. But none were pre-
pOIGd lOI AllC NNlhlNl VI TIC Jul eiA-
though it was in accordance with the
evidence, the old-time custom of ac-
quittal being expected to be observed.
Boreen entered a plea of guilty to
the charge of gambling and was fined
500 and costs. The trials of Patterson
and Hughes will be called later.
During the trial of Asplant, several
witnesses testified to having watched
games which were played in Asplant's
room, but 1t was not clearly proven by
them whether the game was poker or
casino, the witnesses not showing the
qualifications of experts in giving their
testimony.
1t is alleged that Patterson and
Hughes stated that they had been down
town to hear the returns from the
Britt-White fight. but the raid was
made at 1880 o'clock in the morning
and the fight was concluded some time
previous to that hour.

LITTLE GIRL KILLS
 HER YOUNG BROTHER
Children in Anniston Were Playinq With Firearms, When One
 Went Off.

Anniston. February 22.-(speeial)- About T o'clock yesterday morning lit tie Josie Dale. a girl about If years of age, accidentally shot and seriously wounded her brother, Alton, about one year her junior, from which injuries he died. They are children of Mr. J. H. Dale, who lives on the MeElroy place, near Viewers station. The accident happened while other members of the family were at the breakfast table. At the time of the accident the children were playing with guns owned by their father. Alton. the boy, had a single barreled shotgun and Josie had % calibre Remington rife.
 They had gone through several mo- tions with their weapons. and at the time of the fatal shooting, they were snapping them to see which could make the loudest noise. They thought the guns were not loaded, and little Josie was far from evil intention when, with her rifle pointed toward Alton, she caused the hammer to fall and the gun was dis charged. striking the boy. At first AL ton experienced little or no pain He walked leisurely into the dining room and told his parents what had happened. He then entered an adjacent room and seated himself in chair, feeling that the wound was only a slight one.
 As quickly as possible MT. Dale called in two physicians Dr. w. A Smith of Anniston, and Dr. S. D. Merharg of weavers station. After an examination the physicians pronounced the wound an exceedingly dangerous one The ball en- tered the body just above the naval and passed through the liver. The physicians think the wound very much like the one that caused the death of President Mckinley.

ENGLISH PUBLIC
 IS DISAPPOINTED
POST DECLARES THAT DOCTRINE SET FORTH IS so INDUSTRIOUS AS TO SEEM ALMOST lNcoN- CElVABLE.

London, February 23.-A strong chord of indignation is sounded by the London daily newspapers this morning over the semi-official statement relative to the de- cision of the North Sea commission giv- ing to Russia a verdict. but 1t is still hoped that the publication of the full communications may destroy the impress sion produced by the preliminary version which is one of intense disappointment.
 The Daily Mail goes so far as to de- clare that the decision has dealt a death blow to a neutrars rights. Some of the newspapers blame the government strongly for ever conser.ing to subject such matter to arbitration, while some of the government organs find cold com fort in the fact that war with Russia was avoided by doing so. No question is raised that the decision must be respect ed and Great Britains share of the heavy costs will be ruefully paid; but it is held that the decision leaves a neutrafs rights in war in deplorable and unsat- isfactory state and creates dangerous precedent
 The Morning Post says:
 "The new dogma of International law is thus established under which the com- mander of a belligerent fleet may attack and destroy neutral unarmed vessels without any other plea than that he conceived his skips might be in danger. This doctrine | so monstrous and in- conceivable that we can only yet hone the official report will give different reading"
 Just before Parliament rose last night replying to the question whether any precaution to protect the fishing fleet on the dogger bank during the passing of the Third Russian Pacific squadron had been taken. Premier Balfour said that his majesty's government placed implicit reliance on Russian assurance that they had taken every preccution to guarantee against the recurrence of any such in cident and that special instructions had been issue, to the whole Russian fleet with this object in view and and awas q with this object in view.
