TITS understood one witness has
already been before the grand jury
to testify on this matter. The wit
ness formerly. owned coal property
and a mining plant in Tucker coun-
ty, but claims he was forced to sell
ihe same recently, because of the
discrimination practised against him
by the railroad company in that sec
tion, he being what is termed an in
dependent operator.

to get here from New York and

ject Among the prominent Wit
nesses who have been summoned to

the most thorough manner, anddt is
likely the grand jury will be in ses-
sion number of days vet. even ex-
tending into the month of May.
Judge Dayton is in accord with
the President on the subject and
not only will discrimination of cars
be looked into but also the rate
question, too.

there are one or two against express
company agents, growing out of the
G. o. d. liquor business. Tho

property owners must bring suit to
prove their titles.
1t will be hard for the property own
ers to watch the records that will be

of many are in danger of being lost to
some dishonest person who files a false
suit.
The Call will watch the filing of
these suits and keep the property own

not agree to prove your titles. but 1t
will see that no one files a suit to claim
property not his own.
All those desirous OF having their

ONE CAMP CLOSED
BY COMMISSION.
One Thousand Refugees
to Be Sent From the
PresidiotoH Harbor View

The relief commission has ordered
the removal of 1000 refugees now
camping at the Preside to the large
grounds at Harbor View. The transfer
is at the request of General Greedy and
viii be made early tomorrow morning.
The Government will transport all the
chattels of the campers to the new To-
cation, which is but a short distance
beyond the gates of the reservation.
Greedy thinks that the time for the
army to retire absolutely from the re-
sponsibility OF caring for the city's
homeless is close at hand: The trans
portation Of all relief goods is being
done by the Government at the present
time at a cost of $1,000 day. This ex-
penditure and the support given the
campers within his Jurisdiction is, In
his mind, an unnecessary drain upon
the resources of the Federal troops.
Commissioner Moran received an ur-
gent call for mattresses yesterday from
Jefferson square. The camp commander
informed the commissioner that the
people were agitated and demanded inn
mediate attention. It seems that these
people have been without a full supply
of mattresses from the first, but that
the authorities have been putting them
off from time to time. Moran gave the
subchief an order on the quartermas-
ter's department for an immediate dll-
ing OF the wants.

ONE MAN STILL ILL

MARYSVILLE, July IA. = Word
reached here today of the poisoning
of four men of a harvester crew at
Dewitt ranch, in Butte Mountains,
Sutter County, yesterday afternoon.
The day was extremely warm and the
family on the farm sent big bucket
of lemonade to the harvester crew.
Rowland Hawley, Thomas Riddle, and
Frank and Clinton Dewitt drank freely
of the stuff and started to resume
work. They became suddenly I'll and
barely had time to unhitch their
horses when they were. overcome.
The animals ran at will over the grain
fields. When the animals galloped by
the farmhouse the family knew some
thing was wrong and no time was
lost in going to the harvester. where
the men were found writhing In agony.
They were removed to the house and
physicians summoned. The Dewitt boys
and Riddle are out of danger today,
but Hawley is still In critical condi-
ton. Eight railroad surveyors were
poisoned in a similar manner near here
last week.

Asked how Bryan could shake his

siastic friends and the respect OF the
conservatives, Watterson said:
Sixteen 70 one, as you call IL, IS as
dead as the institution of African

years older than he was in 1896. Radi-
Calism and conservatism are not only
relative, but convertible terms. The
radical Of yesterday becomes the con-
servative today, and sometimes vice
versa Mr. Roosevelt has made Mr..
Bryan look like a conservative. The
country wants a change, and after

On the question OF government own

The Government has enough to do
already and IS strong enough already

such an engine Given the telegraph
and the railways and an army of office
