senting the Southern Pacific railroad

the Salton sea, when the lives and
property of American citizens In the
Imperial valley OF California were

FAULTY CONSTRUCTION
This is Verdict Rendered BY coroners
After investigation Into Collin
wood Horror

Cleveland, O., March 12.-Coroner
Burke has rendered his decision in the
Collinwood school fire horror. Condi-
tions existing are blamed, but no fault
is charged to any one.

started in a closet under the stairway
and was caused by overheated pipes.
The death Of the students, he says,
was due to faulty construction.
The coroner recommended that the
Legislature pass law to make all
school buildings fire proof and that
automatic devices be put in the build
ings to further safeguard the lives of
the children.

DEMURRERS TAKEN
UNDER AMUSEMENT
In Perjury Cases Against AIarld and
0rjego-Motion For New Trial in
Aurant Case.

United States and Territorial dis.

John r. McFie presiding. After hear
Ing arguments on the demurrers in
lterposed In the perjury cases OF the
United States VS.. Ricardo Alarid and
Gregorio Grlego which consumed all OF
the forenoon session today the court
took the matter under advlsement.
Owing to the fact that the two cases
are identical they were consolidated
In the arguments on the demurrers for
the sake Of convenience and expedl
ency. Counsel for the defense demurr.
ed to the indictments against Alarid
and Grlego alleging that they are de.
fective and insufficient In law. Counsel
for the prosecution on the other hand
maintained that the indictments We're
drawn up properly and set out the
facts alleged in conformity with every
legal requirement.
Attorney Thomas B. Catron appear.
ed as counsel for both Alard and Grl-
lego while Attorney Robert c. Gortner
was present as additional counsel for
Griego. United States Attorney David
IL. Leahy represented the federal gov.
|ernmcnt In the arguments. A nunibe:
|of authorities were cited by both sides
In support OF their contentious In the
wordy combat to which practically all
of the forenoon session was devoted.
The two perjury cases grow out Of
the contempt proceedings at the last
term of the United States district
|court in this city when Alarld was ac-
cused of tampering with the grand
jury Griego was member of the
grand jury and was later discharged.
Both are alleged to have perjured
themselves during the contempt pro-
|ceedings.
Only two hours were required by the
|jury to reach verdict Of guilty In the
trial of Jacob Aurant, who was indict-
ed, charged with the larceny of a let.
tier from the postofflce at Santa Cruz
Of which he was formerly postmaster.
Attorney A. B. Renehan, representing
1.-THE defendant, gave notice of a mo.
Ition for a new trial and sentence has
|been deferred pending the hearing OF
this motion.
Aurant was recommended clemen-
Icy at the hands of the court by the
ljury in finding his guilty Of the Of
tense as charged in the indictment.
The punishment prescribed upon con.
viction of the crime alleged, is a
prison sentence of not less than one
year and not more than Ave years.
The United States petit jury was
discharged this afternoon following
the continuance Of the Alarid and
Griego contempt cases until the next
term. The Territorial petit jury will

Foreign Minister Favors Extending Of
Glad Hand to Insure Peace in the
Far East.

ST. Petersburg, March 12.-During a
debate in the douma yesterday on a
bill raising the Russian legation at
Toxic to an embassy, which eventual
ly was passed, NJ. Iswolsky. the foreign
minister, delivered lengthy speech
In which he said that, however, dis.
tresslng the sacrifices made by the
Portsmouth treaty, it must be acknowl.
edged that Russia lost nothing of her
historical inheritance, but only what
either previously belonged to Japan,
or geographically and economically
gravltated toward Japan. According
ly, he declared there was nothing to
prevent Russia from stretching out
her hand to her late opponent. His per.
sonal acquaintance with leading Jap
anese statesmen, he continued, con.
vinced him OF reciprocal desire on
the part OF Japan to arrive at a good
understanding with Russia. He point
ed to the network of international
treaties, including those between
France and Japan and Great Britain
and Russia as assisting, with Russia's
alliance with France, the guarantee
for the preservation of peace In the
Far East. Germany and the United
States, with both OF whom Russia
maintained sincerely friendly rela-
tions, he continued, were striving for
the same goal, namely. firm eQuili-
brium and peace In the Pacific ocean.
