Receiver Robinson of the Los Angeles
land office yesterday and made an affi-
daVit.
"Mr Skinner has been in the Imperial

ceiver Robinson, "and from the, evidence

believe that wealthy land owners of that
section have been attempting to restrict
the influx of new settlers there by Interior

'oThe plan in every case has been to
have an assignment made in blank,
which would be signed over to the capi-
talists behind the scheme, together with
the receipts of the entry fees.
''Then the capitalists would sell the
land to interested parties for sums rang

as possible. then turn the water of the
river and of. Cottonwood creek into the
aqueduct, fir the reservoir and use the

When completed the Haiwee reservoir

The building of the reservoir means the
ohliteration of many old landmarks.
The stage road over which thirty-flve
years ago Bill Nadeau teamed the rich
silver ore of the Sierra Gordo will be
many feet under water and will necessl-
tate the building of a new road higher
in the foothills.
The home of Mrs. s. Orr, now the
property of the city. will be submerged.
The house of Mrs. Orr, probably the best

Councilman Lyon is anxious to put A.

Joe Margolls has been doing this work
at laborer's pay, which is less than
that of a mounted guard, and the park
department felt fortunate in getting Mar

LUKA FOR LAYSAN
WITH PASSENGERS
CLERK OF NAVAL STATION GOES
ON VACATION-NEW GALLEY
STOVE SHIPPED TODAY.

Captain Max Schlemmer expects to
get away in his recently purchased
schooner Luka for Laysan Island to-
morrow The Luka now lies at Allen
& Robinson's wharf where a new gal
ley stove has been shipped and she is
being provisioned and where fire-wood
is being taken aboard.
She will take two passengers hence
to Laysan, Mr.. Davis, clerk to the
Commandant, United States Naval Sta
ton, on vacation, and Mrs. Walker.
The Luka has already shipped her
crew, consisting of half a dozen young
Hawaiians, most of whom are anxious
to get a look at Laysan. Captain
Mansfield goes as skipper.
The Luka is a 75-ton schooner and in
good condition. 1t is said that Schlem-
mer paid $1,000 for her. Her pumps
were manned today, but not a bucket
of water was found in her hold, al
though the pumps had not been started
in five months.
Captain Mansfield expects, if the pre-
vailing wind holds, to run to Laysan
in four days He allows three days to
take aboard about 100 tons of guano
and then the Luka will head for Homo
lulu again. Four or five straight trips
will be made.

PORTUGUESE
SOCIETY LOSES
SUPREME COURT GIVES A DE-
CIsION IN FAVOR OF THE MINOR
CHILDREN OF RODRIGUES.

An opinion was given by a ma
jority of the Supreme Court this morn
ing, that will be of interest to bene-
violent societies Il was in the case
of the action brought by Joaquin Gar
cha as the next friend of the five minor
children of the late A. J. Rodrigues "a
gainst the Portuguese Mutual Benefit
Society. The matter was submitted on
an agreed statement of facts.
1t appears in that 1889 the deceased
Joined the society, under its bylaws
the orphan children of members who
had contributed for 10 years without
having received benefits, were to re-
ceive pension of so cents a day until
they were - years of age. Rodriguez
died on April 8, 1904. Four months
before his death, the society changed
its bylaws to the effect that this
pension was not to be paid unless
members had contributed to the So
ciety for Is, instead of 10 years.
A claim for the pension on behalf of
the children was made and the pension
was refused on the grounds of the
change of. the bylaws. The opinion
which is written by Justice Hartwell
and signed by Justice Wilder holds
that the change of bylaws did not
affect a pension right previously ac-
quired under the bylaws prescribing
ten years as the term, and also that
the amended bylaws did not purport
to apply to such cases. The plaintiffs
are allowed to take judgement accord
ingly.S

FORMER INSURANCE COMMITS.
SloNER CLEARED OF CHARGE
OF TAKING BRIDE.

Minneapolis, Nov. q Elmer n.
Dearth, former insurance commission
er OF Minnesota, was yesterday cleared
of the charge of accepting a bride OF
$500 for certifying to a false state
n,ent. Judge John Day Smith of the
Hennepin county court directed a YER
dict of not guilty, and the jury return
ed the acquittal without leaving the
court room
The action OF the judge was eNpc2'-
ed. as the attorneys for the defense,
John Lind and Pierce Butler OF St.
Paul. had moved for such an order at
the close OF the testimony on Wednes-
day. Yesterday John Dahl, assistant
county attorney, argued against the
motion and Pierce Butler spoke for it.
The judge then reviewed the evidence
and directed the verdict, since the
state had rallied entirely to prove the
charges.
The judge said that the only thing
the court had to decide was whether
| sufficient evidence had been produced
to convict. He said that h prosecu'
ton had failed to show that Dearth
and Bechtel had entered into any lille
cal agreement.

HELPS BOYS.
Looks UP Positions for Them Before
They Leave School.

Iney Leave SCHOOL.
When an American boy leaves
school he does not always know what
sort Of work he wants or is fit for.
Or eve when he knows exactly what
kind of a job he desires, he often does
not know at all how to find it. Such
a job as he aims for may not exist
within his opportunities Of place and
time. So the boy leaving school may
drift into an unsuitable occupation, or,
worse, into no occupation at all, in
spite of an honest wish originally to
work. In Germany they order these
things better.
Every year printed schedules of
comprehensive questions are sent to
every head teachr of the Munich
schools to be distributed among the
pupils who are going to leave the
schools that year.
The pupils are asked to put them
selves in communication with the mu-
nicipal labor bureau, which will adj
wise them as to the choice Of a voca-
ton, and give them the best chance
possible to secure work.
Yearly circulars are also sent 10 all

CORN YIELD REDUCED.
Du4 Higher Prices Increase Total
Value So, O


Doane Robinson has completed his
estimate of the corr crop of the state
o this year, and while he shows an
increase Of acreage over last year, his
estimate is for a reduction Of over
10000 900 bushels in the yield of the
state. He places the value of this to
the farmers of the state at practically
$4,000, 900 more than the 1906 crop on
account Of the increased value of the
product.
The total crop yield was cut down
this year on account of the extremely
wet weather in the corn counties early
In the season, causing a poo stand of
corn in many fields.
His detailed statement places the
Drop for this year at 2,034,7S9 acres,
with ~1.97S,466 acres for 1906. The
yield he places at 56,561 ,26S bushels
Tor this year, with 77,414,351 bushels
Tor the yield of last year on a smaller
acreage. He places the value of the
crop this year at $27.2SO, 634, while
the greater crop of last year brought
the farmers 1923, 224 ,3O5.

RICH BACHELOR SLAIN.
Suffering of Stock Leads to Discovery
of Murder.


y foul murder was revealed last
week by finding the body of Frank NJ.
Brown. a wealthy bachelor of the west
end of Codinston county. The man
evidently had been dead for nearly a
week, so the murderers have a long
start.
Brown was an eccentric character
and lived alone in a shack four miles
southwest of Henry. He was known to-
be wealthy. but banked very little Of
his money, buryina it in his wheat bins
or in the ground or carrying it in large
rolls on his person.
\ neishbor called Saturday morning,
and finding the stock suffering for at
tention for attention, forced the door
of the house and discovered a faithful
dog on guard yer the body. a bullet
hole in the back of the mans head
showed the manner of his death, and
a revolver was found outside in the
grass. Tracks of two men running
were traced in the plowed ground lead
ing in the direction of town.
How much money the murderers Sc
cured may v be known. The shan
ty had been thoroughly %ransacked and
nothing of value overlooked. No ar
rests have been made. and the police
have no n under suspicion as yet.

Herd Chases Wolves.

J. A. Pearson of Miller tells about
his experience with wolves. He saw
several after a couple Of COWS with
calves would be taken he ran for his
gun and prepared to take a shot at
the wolves. Instead he saw the COWS
with calves following making for a
larger herd Of cattle, the wolves in
hot pursuit. AS the believing and
scared calves approached the herd he
whole force turned upon the wolves in
great fury and chased them out of the
pasture. Mr.. Pearson, who had been
watching his chance to get a shot at
the wolves, was unable to get aim be-
