r AS was expected, the opening OF

DIVISION SCRAP
COMPROMISED
AT LAST


BY Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, March 4.-The Fres-
no-Kings county controversy over the
annexation of the Coalinga district by
Kings county was practically settled
tonight.
A compromise has been reached by
which Assemblyman Mcclure has sig
nified his willingness to amend his bill
in the senate so as to submit the ques-
tion of annexation to a vote of the
people in the territory affected or to
let Fresno county keep the Laton coun-
try.
Drew of Fresno has practically agreed
to the proposition to submit it to the
voters, so per cent of which shall de-
eide the issue.
McFGuire stated that he is willing to
agree to this out of a desire to be fair,
not because he was defeated.
He claims to have five votes more
than the required number to carry his
measure in the senate.

IN GREAT GAME
ADAMS ONLY
A PAWN

BY Associated Press.
WALLACE, Idaho, March 4.-"Steve
Adams is only a pawn in the great
game that is being played. The prose-
cutors in this case do not believe
Adams is guilty. They never did be-
lieve it,
so declared Judge e.. r. Richardson
today in his plea to the jury to acquit
Steve Adams of the crime of killing
Fred Tyler. He based his plea upon
the theory that the state is only max
ing use of Adams for the purpose of
convicting others; that this trial is
but a minor issue in the great fight
between the Mine Owners association
and the Western Federation of Miners.
A feature of Judge Richardson's ad-
nunciation of detectives in general and
the Pinkerton agency as represented
by Mcfarland, in particular.
1.-THE Pinkerton detective agency"
he declared, '1s not an organization
that is known to the law.
''It is private interest, working for
private ends, or perhaps obeying the
behest of some one holding private po-
sition, who employs it." he said.
Judge Richardson denounced the
methods used by MCFARLAND in OBJ
tanning the confession, working on his
feelings and affection for his wife and
babies.

SAN FRANCISCO. March AL
though Judge Dunno last week made
the positive order that Mayor Schmitz
should be In court this morning to
enter his plea to the Indictment charg-
ing him with extortion, he was not
present when court was called. and 1t
was stated that he would not arrive
in the city until Wednesday.
Attorney Hiram Johnson of the dis
trict attorneys office informed the
court that both sides had agreed to a
continuance to Wednesday, on which
day the attorneys for Schmitz guaran-
teed that he would be present.
Upon this representation Judge
Dunno granted application for a con-
tinuance. The failure of Attorney
Shortridge to have his list OF citations
prepared caused postponement for one
week in the cases of Abraham Ruef
and Chief of Police Dinan, and in Judge
Lawlor's court the trial of Supervisor
Nicholas was postponed to March IS
on account of the absence of Attorney

HARTMAN PAYS
A FRIENDLY
VISIT
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-E. H.
Hartman spent some time in the office
of the interstate commerce commission
today. The visit was informal, and a
variety of topics were touched upon
during Mr.. Harriman's talk with the
commissioners.
There was some talk about the repair
of the break in the Colorado river,
which Mr. Hartman explained to the
commissioners, referring particularly to
the prompt manner in which the work
had been done by the Southern Pacific
railroad.
Questions of equipment for railroads
furnished an interesting topic, Mr.. Har-
riman expressing preference for the
larger steel car with capacity of 100,-
200 pounds in place of the smaller cars
and especially those of wooden con-
struction, which in his opinion must be
relegated to the background.
Mr.. Hartman was also inclined to the
opinion that there gradually would be
an increase in the use of electricity in
railway transportation, and told the
commissioners he thought the adoption
of Six-foot gauge for railroads would
have been better for the country and
the roads than the feet 8h inches
standard gauge
The commission has set for April the
arguments on the testimony taken at
the Hartman hearing in New York last
week.

TOPEKA. Kas., March 5.-Missouri
Pacific passenger train 80, eastbound.
was boarded by two robbers at Pitts
burg, Kas., tonight and the passengers
were held up and robbed while the train
was in motion between Pittsburg and
Cornell, the next station.
The robbers commenced their work as
soon as the train was out of the Pitts
burg yards
Lou Jess miner from Camp 81 was
shot and killed while resisting the ban
dts, and travelling man from Kansas
City named Westlake was wounded
There were few passengers on the
train and the robbers secured only a
little over $100 in cash and a few
watches and revolvers.
They left the train as it was slow
ing down for Cornell and made their
escape.
A telephone message from Pittsburg
says that a switch engine carrying a
posse has left that city, but so far the
robbers have not been captured.
The country surrounding Pittsburg is
thickly settled and is dotted with
scores of villages and mining camps.
1t is reported that the news of a
miner being killed by the bandits has
spread rapidly and that the miners are
4 aroused and will make an attempt to
capture and lynch the men.
