Remarks Of Court Said
to Have Swung the
Jury.

J Counsel for defendants in the eject
Spreckels and others are making some
what of a sensation out of the cir
substances surrounding Judge DE
Bolts remarks to the attorneys on both
sides, in the absence of the jury, when
a motion for a directed verdict for
plaintiff was under argument.
1t will be remembered that an even
ing paper quoted the courts remarks
in question. and this having caused a
little sensation in court an Advertiser
reporter interviewed Judge De Bolt
on the matter, when ne tacitly admit
ted the accuracy of the report but said
he was not aware when making the
remarks that any member of the press
was present.
Now it appears. from affidavits filed
by counsel for defendants on their mo-
ton for a new trial, that just before
the Advertiser reporter met Judge De
Bolt at adjournment there had been
a warm scene in court between Mr..
Kinney and Mr.. Magoon. It was
missed by the reporter on account of
his leaving the courtroom, near the
closing hour, to take some notes in
Judge Lindsays courtroom.
When the matter of the remarks
from the bench was brought up next
morning, the attorneys for plaintiff
satisfied those for the defendants that
they had not given the remarks out
for publication. Witnesses were call
ed to show that the evening paper
man got his report from a brother of
the city editor of that paper who had
been practicing shorthand in the
courtroom during the trial. According to
the aff1davits now filed, however, coun-
macy existed between Magoon &
Lightfoot, leading counsel for plaintiff.
and the official stenographer which
they believe sets up case of collu-
sion between them in securing the pub
LEGATION of Judge De Bolts remarks for
the purpose of unduly influencing the
jury.
Kinney. McClanahan &, Cooper and
Holmes & Stanley sign the motion for
a new trial, which they base upon the
record and attached affidavits. w A
Kinney leads off with an affidavit. in
which he quotes the Bulletin and Ad-
vertiser's reports of the last day but
one of the trial, including Judge De
Bolts remarks. and among other
things says:
That the jury We're out for three
hours, and as afiant has been inform
ed by some of them stood six to six

identity OF Sabin was disclosed and

Frank c. Atherton, one of the jurors
in the case, makes affidavit saying
that after the case had been submitted
to them the publication of Judge De

of the jurors produced a paper and

been taught to think for himself I'VE
welcome him because he does think for
himself" said DIR. Knox, and we con-

mise Proposition Suggested
by Court.

CHICAGO, May l4-All overtures for
peaceful compromise OF the controversy
over the control Of Zion City were called
OF today and General Overseer Voliva and
his associates have decided to fight for
supremacy in the courts. Application will
be made in court tomorrow for the dissolu-
tion of the temporary injunction recently
granted to Dowie. This will bring the
crisis that will determine whether John
Alexander Dowie shall own and rule Zion
or whether the present administration shall
continue in power
For several days Voliva and his lieu
tenants have waited for Dowie and his
leaders to accept the proposition made by
the court TO place the Zion estate in con-
troll of three trustees one named by each
of the contestants and the third by the
court. The failure Of Dowie to act threat
ened another crisis for Zion and the de-
cision to call the peace negotiations of
was the result.
This was prompte dlargely by threats
OF Zion investors heretofore held back by
Voliva TO begin bankruptcy proceedings
against Dowie and to have a receiver ap-
pointed for Zion City industries,

Anti-Germsn FeelinE in Hungary Not
Pleasing 10 the New
Minister.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, May 14.--ohcial
notice has been taken OF the unfriendly
comment of the Hungarian press on the
approaching visit of Emperor William TO
Emperor Francis Joseph at Vienna and
both Premier Wekerle and Minister Of
Commerce Francis, KOssuth have 0publicly
discountenanced IT. The premier took the
opportunity of an election address at
Bruesvar yesterday to declare his convic-
ton that "Austria-Hungary wished to re-
main an equal factor in the German al
lance, which not only was a guarantee
of peace but was the pillar of Austria
Hungary's foreign policy"
He further declared that there was alb
solutely no foundation for the rumors
that Germany had in any way interfered
in the internal affairs of the dual mon
archy, rumOrs of which largely occasioned
the present display of bitterness
Kossuth expressed the opinion that the
comments in the papers did not express
the real opinion of Hungary, which thor
oughly realized the desirability of the best
relations with Germany.

OF DETECTIVES
National Conference on Charities and
Corrections Has Busy Day
at philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, May 14.-Among the
many topics discussed at todays sessions
OF the national conference on Charities
and Correction were needy familities de-
feotive and d11cult boys. industrial train
ing for children, immi grafton and train
ing for social workers.
The principal speaker on the subject of
detectives was Edward r. Johnstone.
superintendent of the New Jersey Train
ing school at Vineland, n j., and chair
man OF the committee on detectives.
In speaking of the laws for the preven-
ton OF the increase of detectives, Mr.
Johnstone said:
"A careful revision of the marriage
laws in the various states is needed
Elopements, marriages under age, con-
sanguineous marriages, marriage of peo-
pie while intoxicated all need legal re-
striction and enforcement of the laws.
Laws requiring the permanent custody of
feebleminded women at least, are needed.
We need IL TO be mandatory to send the
detectives to the institutions, and the
capacity of institutions must be sufficient
to work in harmony with compulsory
education laws.
That the United States should send its
representatives, into foreign countries and
weed the good from the bad among pro-
posed immigrants, was the declaration of
Broughton Brandenberg, president, Of the
National Institute of immigration, who
spoke on How to Make Our Immigration
Laws Effective"
Mr.. Brandenberg said the right kind
of immigrants are desirable, not the Grim
inals, the diseased and insane that are
coming in such large numbers. He said
! in part:
THE question OF immigration is a
| problem OF humanity, not OF merchandise
Its financial and economic Importance is
| minimized by it's tremendous social CON
| sequence. Its complexity in bahiing Its
changes year by year are distracting
Its immensity pals upon the patriot who
/ confronts IL. Only when men of all
/ standards and creeds realize that il un-
needed II menaces the destiny Of the ma
/ tion, will the whole people rise to the
| emergency and out OF love for their native
land settle the question and settle il
right
IF we are to have any immigration II
/ must be a selected immigration and must
/ be selected in the one spot where the
/ proof OF every mans quality can be found
among his own people"

NINE PERSONS MURDERED
Partly Burned Bodies of Preacher,
wife and seven Children Found
Near Milton, Fla.

PENSACOLA, Fla, May H.-One Of the
most horrible crimes in the history of this
state, IL not of the entire south, was COM
mitted ten miles north of Milton last night
An itinerant preacher named Ackerman
his wife and seven children the eldest
about IA years old, were killed and their
bodies cremated in their home which was
burned by the assassins.
The crime was discovered this morning
by parties with whom Ackerman had an
appointment. They found the house in
ruins and the charred bodies of Ackerman
and the eight other members of the family
scattered about among the wreckage. Ex-
animation by physicians showed that Ack-
ermsn and his wife had been struck on the
head with some blunt instrument, their
skulls being crushed.
The citizens of Milton have raised more
than 1900 which win be offered as a re-
ward for the apprehension of the assassins,
and Governor Broward has been appealed
to TO offer a reward for the state. Acker-
man is not known TO have had any enemies.

SEARCHLIGHT AGAINST zULUS
New Device Puts African Natives in
Fear when Turned Upon
Them.

DURHAM, Natal, May n-Searchlights
promise TO prove as effective weapons in
subduing the sedition Of the zulus as the
British guns, judging from the display
given last night by Commissioner Saunders
before a huge gathering OF Zulus at the
KsndhAla headquarters of the punitive
force. The natives were awestruck and re-
gard the searchlight as the eye OF the AL
mighty and said that God had turned upon
them in his anger. The flashing OF the
light on the surrounding hills, bringing in
plain view the Kafir trails as far as the
horizon, powerfully impressed the Zulus,
who, when the light was suddenly flashed
in their faces, covered and fell on the
ground before what they termed the latest
witchcraft OF the whites"
