FUKUCHI ON TRIAL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


MARTINEZ. Jan. 22.-Great interest
surrounded the trial today of Sam
hukuchi. a Japanese. charged with alb
duCting fOurteen-year-o Florence Will
liams from her home at Alamo on No
vember 10 and taking her TO Portland
or. where she and FulSuchi We're cap
tured. More than one hundred Japa-
nese friends OF the defendant were
present today. The most important
witnesses were the girl and the pris-
oner.
The girl told Of Fukuchfs efforts 10
marry her, her refusals and finally her
consent 10 go away with him and the
trip TO Portland. She stated that she
was in ignorance Of her destination
when she left Alamo and knew nothing
OF the trip TO Portland until after they
had boarded the train at Oakland pier
The Introduction by the defense OF
letter written by the girl on October
8 to Fukuchi. for the purpose Of show
ing that she wished a union with him
and went away OF her own volition,
proved a boomerang in effect when Dis
trict Attorney Alvarado brought out
the fact that the letter was dictated
by the Oriental himself and was not
only signed by her but by him. When
the note was produced his signature
had been partly erased. In 81 she prom
ised to marry him when she was aged
is and he pledged himself to fulfill his
part Of the compact.

OAKLAND, Jan. 22.-while Miss
Donnetta Posta. pretty Italian
maiden, was on her way TO night
school this evening she was stopped
by Joseph Salsa. an aged neighbor,
and the two were soon engrossed in
amiable conversation. Dona Posta.
father of the girl, happened along and
objected to Salsa chatting with his
daughter.
Salsa hotly resented the interference.
He drew pistol and fired three shots
at Posta.
All the bullets missed Posta. but one
struck Mungo C. Kella in the right
shoulder.
Kella, who is aged II and resides
at 966 Third street, was passing along

of Salisa's weapon. The report of the
shots brought policemen to the scene.

RECEIPTS OF ROAM
NEARLY DOUBLE
City's Percentage of Reve-
nue. From Geary-Street
Line Shows Big Increase
SYSTEM IS POPULAR

Accordtpg 10 statements file with
the city authorities the receipts of the
c.arx-street road show a substantial
increase since its reo1eration was
commenced last July over the income
enjoyed previous to the April disaster.
While the records of past statements
bave been destroyed IT Is known that
the monthly receipts before the FIRE
averaged between $4,000 and $4,000
and during the six months ending pc
cember 81, 1906, they have averaged

the board monthly after that IN the
same manner as all pubic documents
are filed. but since the resumption or
the operation Of the road the state
ments have been filed secretly with the
CITY Treasurer. The statement Tor De
cember has not been filed as yet, out
the percentage paid to the city IN NO
vernber amounted TO S1149.66 and ow-
ing 10 the increased traffic during the
holidays the percentage to be paid for
December will reach at least $1,000.
The percentage for October was
s1.2O7.54; for September S1397-45; for
August S1493.S4; for July S11I2.11. The
total percentage paid TO the city.
for the six months named will
amount to S762O.60, or five per cent OF
the cross receipts which amounted TO
S152,412
The reason for the enormous increase
in the receipts OF the road despite the
fact that less cars are operated than
before last April is largely due TO the
wretched service given by the United
Railroads. which diverts many pas
sengers TO the Geary-street line who
become disgusted with the long waits
for a desired car of the big corpora
tion Then. too. the existing conditions
cause more people to ride than when
the streets were in good repair.

FIND EUCALYPTUS
WOOD VALUABLE

BERKELEY, Jan. Eucalyptus
trees are much more valuable than
most people have imagined, according
to report made by Government engi-
neers who have been conducting tests
of this timber at the University of
California. The blue gum wood COM
pares favorably with such hard wood
as hickory, when put to the test. and
may be used for a variety of purposes
where only very hard timber is prac-
ticable.
Loren r. Hunt and A. L. Helm have
conducted tests of eucalyptus with the
apparatus available for such work on
the campus. Helm is a representative
the Government. A bulletin issued by
this department on the subject of the
worth of blue gum as a timber declares
that the wood compares favorably with
such tough timber black locust for
the making of insulator pins. chisel and
hammer handles. wagon tongues, axles,
shafts and spokes. Thirty-year- d
blue gum is harder and better than
Xxx hickory. Open piling is recon-
mended after the wood is cut to get
rid of the sap that abounds in the blue
gum.
The blue gum bulletin contains the
declaration that a grove of eucalyptus
trees can be cut every five years for
fuel and is likely to be more profitable
than the same amount of land sown TO
grain.

viii be made to have DR.. Ollie di-
vulge the name of the hat and bonnet
manufacturer who suggested to young
female milliners that they increase
their earnings by bartering their vir-
tue. This effort would probably have
been made today but for the fact that
DR.. Ollie has left the city for a few
weeks. Here is what some of the
proprietors Of millinery stores have
to say OF DR.. Dille's sensational
charge:
Mrs. L. A Maison 546 Fourteenth street
Or. Dile's statements are absurd. but | am
anxious 10 know whom be referred to. / can
think Of no milliner that would give such awful
advice 10 girls / know that the milliners or
this city have many respectable girls in their
employ TO be found in any other legiti-
mate business. and they paid good wages.
Mrs. Newman Cohn. 963 Broadway-lt was a
serious statement for Or. Ollie TO make, as II
reflects all girls engaged in the millinery
trade and also Injuries the trade. DR.. Dile
should make known the name Of the milliner
he had IN mind retract his words, as they
