TAYLOR FAILS To PROVE
DAMAGING STATEMENTS
Defense of Marin's Sheriff
Rests Upon Legal
Technicality
TRUETTE's D1cKERING
Charge That He Was Of
fered $500 to Testify for
Cochrane Fails

The promised sensation in the
Cochrane-Taylor suit before Judge
Cabaniss, wherein Witness Truette had
said that Salvador Pacheco had of
fered him $500 to testify in Cochrane'
favor, did not materialize yesterday
when Pacheco took the stand. In fact
the bomb sizzled out pitifully. Pa
checo proved he had made no such
offer, but that he had conyersed with
Truette with reference to the pur-
chase of some mules for the sum or
$500. Accordingly that bit or testi-
mony from Truette was placed by
Judge Cabaniss along with the rest or
his contradictory and partly false state
ments The Judge said he would pay
no attention to anything Truette had
said and declared his attitude had been
peculiar" to say the least.
TT looked to me-" announced the
Judge las though Truette was dick
ering.'"
No other witness was called in the
famous criminal libel charge brought
by Assessor Cochrane against Sheriff
Taylor of Marin County, and the case
was submitted without bringing out
any of the sensational testimony
against the Cochrane brothers which
Sheriff Taylor declared, prior to the
suit, that he had up his sleeve to
spring in the camp of his political and
social enemies. The matter of juris
diction was pleaded and will be set
tied next Saturday by Judge Cabaniss.
Jurisdiction is the technicality also
in Judge Weller's court, where M. i.
Cochrane is the complaining witness
against Taylor in another criminal
libel suit. 1t is claimed by Taylor's
attorneys that jurisdiction rests with
the Marin County courts and not in
San Francisco: Taylor also claims that
in the alleged conversation had with
him by a newspaper man that he,
Taylor, had been misquoted, and that
instead of making an accusation
against NJ. f. Cochrane, the editor he
meant to say ]. w. Cochrane, the at
torney.
Both suits are the outcome of
statement written by Taylor, addressed
to NJ. F. Cochrane and published in the
San Francisco papers, declaring that
bribe money was handled by two of
the Cochrane brothers in the Keefe
case. Beardsley, the attorney for the
hibernia Bank was implicated in
Sheriff Taylors statement, but ap-
peared recently before the Grand Jury
in Marin County, and is said to have
vindicated himself, as well as p. II.
Cochrane, from the shady transac-
ton charged by Taylor.

EXCLUSIONISTS PLAN
EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN
Withdrawal of Support of Carpenters
Union Stirs the League to
Renewed Activity

The meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Japanese and Korean Ex-
clusion League last evening was de-
voted largely to discussion of ways
and means to lay before the various
unions of this city, as well as other
organizations, the nature of the work
that has been done by the league, as
well as what it proposes TO do in the
future. The discussion was the. result
of a notification from Carpenters
Union No. 4S3 that its support was
withdrawn.
1t was the judgment of the league
that not enough personal solicitation
was being carried on, and that because
OF lack of information much support
was not forthcoming.
A telegram was read from Delegate
James Graham at Riverside, stating
that the convention which he was at
tending in that city was unanimous in
its support of the work of the league
and that much enthusiasm marked the
passage of a resolution commencing
the activities of the anti-Japanese and
Korean workers.
