.GREENWELL GIVES NEW
PHASE OF YOUNG CASE
Says Charges Made by the
Bakersfield Oil Men
Are Untrue
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. II. = Senator
Charles E. Greenwell of Santa Barbara
returned to Sacramento tonight and in
terjected an entirely. new phase into
the charges made against him by C. E.
Young, the Bakersfield oil man, who
is exhibiting articles of clothing as
evidence of the alleged intimacy be-
tween the lawmaker and Mrs. Young,
and on which he is basing a suit for
divorce.
The clothing which Young says he
has doesn't belong to me at ALL said
Greenwell. 1T belongs to some other
man. The only property in Young's
possession which 1 claim title to is an
overcoat and hat. These he got from
rack in the hall.
Some very incorrect things have
ben circulated about that incident down
in Bakersfield On the evening in ques-
tion 1 met George E. Whitaker. a Ba-
kersfeId attorney, who invited me to
pass the night with him at his hotel.
Mrs. Young had permanent apartments
at this hotel. and the only time I saw
her was about s o'clock in the evening.
Two other well-known persons, whose
names I intend to withhold for the
present. were with me when 1 was
talking to her. When Young came
rushing into the room he was very much
agitated and appeared to be under the
influence OF drink. He began to abuse
his wife outrageously and 1 naturally
protected her from his violence. After
4 left he began to ransack every room
in the hotel and got a mans suit, a
pair of shoes and an umbrella. to-
gether with the oyercoat and hat be-
longing to me on the rack In tfeShall.
The man who owns the clothing and
shoes will probably claim them when
the time comes. 1t will be very easy
to prove then that they don't fit me
and are not my property. / can at
tribute the assault made on my repu-
tation by Young to nothing but the
action of man who is either insane
from jealousy or who is not respon-
sfble for what he does 1 have been
thinking about proceeding against him
through the District Attorney of Kern
County for his slanders and the theft
of my clothing. but have decided to
defer action for the present. There is
not the slightest ground for the charges
made against Mrs Young. She is. as
every one who is acquainted with her
intimately can testify, a woman of ire
proachable character and department
Nothing that | might bear witness to
could help to strengthen the confidence
of her friends in this respect
Greenwich intends to take his seat
in the Senate tomorrow and devote his
energies to lawmakine for the rest OF
the session.

To ABANDON MILITARY
PRISON ON A|LCATRAz
Secretary Taft Outlines
Plan to Build on Angel
Island
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


WASHINGTON. Feb. IA plan for
building a new military prison on
Angel Island and the abandonment of
the prison on Alcatraz Island was out
lined to Congress yesterday by Secre-
tary Taft and Lieutenant Colonel Ruh-
len. The sum of s250,O00 is asked for
to pay for material and skilled labor
that cannot be furnished by the con-
victs themselves.
1t is proposed to build stone prison
to accommodate 300 prisoners, which
is about the number now contained in
the Alcatraz prison. Excellent stone
is found on Angel Island and most of
the work of preparing it can be done
by the prisoners. Prison labor is now
being employed to rebuild the barracks
on Angel Island.
The War Department also asks for
s250.oo for the depot for recruits and
casuals on Angel Island. Secretary
Taft also suggested IF it were not to
be the occasion for a war scare he
would ask for $4,000 for a storehouse
at Honolulu.
In discussing the necessity for pur-
chasing land at Lobos Creek for an ad-
ditional water supply for the Preside,
Colonial RuhIen testified that the de-
partment was paying $500 a month
to the Spring Valley Water Company
at the rate of 11% cents thousand
gallons. The proposed land purchase
and "a pipe line from the Preside to
Fort Mason would cost s250.00o

SPEC1Al1 DlSGA1Ol1 ~ IHE GALL.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IA billion
dollar session of Congress Is assured
by the appropriation bills which have
already passed the House and the esti-
mates of those which will pass during
the Government Will amount to more
thnn has been allowed at any former
session of Congress in the history of
the Government.
AS it is estimated that the surplus
in the treasury this fiscal year will
not exceed s26,0OO,O00 the expenditures
during the next fiscal year will exceed
the revenues by an enormous sum. 1t
is believed by some of the Republican
leaders in Congress that this will fore
stall agitation for a revision of the
tariff.
Many of the Democratic members of
the House are already beginning to
talk of Republican extravaganza in
time of peace. They believe they will
be able to make it an issue in the next
national campaign. They attribute it
to the fact that comparatively little
care has been exercised by the various
appropriations committees of the House
in framing the annual budgets They
claim that this is due to a desire to
impress upon the minds of the people
that the tariff should under no con-
sideratioh be revised. because it would
diminish the revenues and lead to an
enormous deficit
On the other hand, Republican mem
bers of the House appropriations COM
mittee assert that the only reason why
the committee has not gone into the
items of the various bills before it with
the same thoroughness as last year is
that the short session prevents it.
Early in the session the safety valve
was disabled and since then there have
been many evidences of Congressional
liberality. Not the least was the 50
per cent increase by the members of
their own salaries. Postal employees
were given. increases amounting 20
$1,000, 900 in the postoffice appropria-
tion bill. now under consideration. New
battleships, costing $2o.0o0.00O, are
provided in the naval bill.
The largest river and harbor bill
since the formation of the Government,
carrying approximately sS,0oo,00o, has
had 100000 added to it in the Senate
The army has received gift in the
shape of a new coast artillery, which
will cost Uncle Sam s5,ooo,0oo year.
In the foreign service several minis
ters will have their salaries increased
% per cent. To the s15s,00o,000 in the
regular pension appropriation bill Con-
gress has added s15.OOO,oo0 in service
pension act.
Another million has been doled out
to the Jamestown Exposition, in order
to insure it's opening in April.
The hungry ones. who have been dis
appointed elsewhere. hope to have their
desire recognized in the sundry civil
5ill, which will carry more than $780,
600, 600.

WOODWARD EVASIvE

Chauncey M. st. John,
United States Deputy Sur
veyor Of the Port, member
of the Bohemian Club and
prominent in social and no
litical circles, has been re-
quested to resign from his
office on March /.
1t is the talk among local
Custom-ho officials that
the request is the culnina-
tion Of a series of controver-
sizes in the Surveyors Of
flee, which began during the
incumbency of Charles H. Spear,
who was succeeded by Senator
f. F. Woodward Of Santa Rosa
as Surveyor of the Port.
Those who should be best
posted said yesterday that a let
ter was sent to St. John from the
Treasury Department. in Wash
ington on February y suggest
ing that, on account of conditions
in the Office here, it was thought
best for him to resign.
Some months ago Assistant
Secretary James B. Reynolds
came to San Francisco on official
business and it was rumored at the
time that he was investigating the re-
ports that friction had arisen between
the higher officials Of the Surveyors
department. but until yesterdays de-
velopments the final result Of this trip
did not take definite form
1t is the general impression that
Reynolds chief business at that time
was to make report to his superior
at the capital on the feud that is sup
posed to have existed. When Spear
was replaced by Woodward it was be-
lieved that the controversy had ended.
But soon it became evident to those
who were in a position to see the inner
workings Of the Office that all was not
well.
st. John has been prominent in So
cial affairs for many years. and was
in great demand at social functions.
Much OF his time has been taken up
in assisting in the arrangements OF
balls. dinners and club entertainments
on account of his talents in this dfrec-
ton. and his readiness to contribute to
their success has made him popular in
club and social circles
The announcement that he has been
requested to retire from his position
under the Treasury Department is a
surprise to his associates OF the club
and the swagger function. as we'll as to
himself
When seen at the Bohemian Club last
night st. John denied receiving a re-
quest for his resignation He said:
Il could not be more surprised by the
report that I am to resign if a bomb
were to explode over my head I have
received no communication intimating
that such step was contemplated, and
cannot imagine what could be the
basis for it if it WERE Ny relations
with Mr. woodward are most anable.
There has been no friction in the Of
fce.''
Collector Of the Port stratton ad-
mitted last night that he had UNDER
stood that some communication was to
be sent to ST. John but he did not
know whether the department had
taken action or not.
1t is also persistentIy reported at the
custom-house that Appraiser John T.
Dare will resign. although it is be-
lleved no request has been made
