ARRESTED IN ACT OF
SMUGGLING CHINESE
IMPORTANT CAPTURES MADE
NEAR TIA JUANA
Mines Made Prisoners BY Secret Ser
vice Detectives at Point Of Re.
voIvers After Making Most
Desperate Resistance

Secret service detectives, acting I'M
der the instruction OF A. C. Ridgway,
immigration inspector for this district,
yesterday morning arrested near Tia
Juana, Baja California, on the United
States side of the border. three SNUG
glers and six Chinese whom they were
trying to bring into the country with
out the necessary permission from this
government.
The arrests of the smugglers were
made at the point of revolvers, the
prisoners making desperate resistance,
as they were caught red-handed.
The prisoners. who gave their names
as Francisco Chavez, Ignacio Barrios
and Salvador Arementa, were brought
to this city and lodged in the county
jail last night.
With the smugglers were brought
the six Chinese whom they had in their
charge at the time of the capture and
whom they were to ship to San Fran
cisco over the valley route late tonight.
The capture is regarded as a most
important one by the government and
marks, so say the officials, the break
ing up OF the Chinese smuggling ring
which has existed at this end of the
state for many months.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Misconduct
of the jury after the case was SUBJ
mitted to it, amounting to barter of
the liberty OF Frederick A. Hyde and
Joost H. Schneider, San Francisco, to
effect an agreement upon verdict Is
alleged by Hyde and Schneider, re-
Gently convicted of conspiracy to de-
fraud the government of public lands,
is an additional assignment of reasons
for new trial.
This supplemental reason made pub
lie In the criminal court today. charges
that the verdict was the result of an
agreement between the jurors that II
some of their number who held diff
ferent view would agree to convict the
two men, other jurors would vote to
acquit Benson and Dimond.
Defendants say that jurors who were
in favor of convicting Benson were told
that if they would join in a verdict of
acquittal as to him, those in favor OF
acquitting Hyde would vote for con-
viction, and that If those who thought
all four men should be convicted would
vote to acquit Dimond, the jurors ia
voring a general acquittal would vote
to convict Schneider.
Attached to the motions are affi-
davits of the attorneys, A. s. Worth
ington and r. c. Donaldson, counsel
for the defendants, that their belief
that the barter was made is based on
information received from two of the
Jurors and they are making further
efforts to secure affidavits of other
members of the jury as to what trans
pired during the jury's deliberations.

SAN FRANCISCO, June N.-Mayor
Edward r. Taylor took an active part
today in the city's defense of the suit
brought by the Spring Valley Water
company to prevent the city from en-
forcing the new water rate.
The attorney for the water company

AER0NAUT'S SKILL SAVES
PASSENGERS FROM DEATH
Balloon CoiIapses While Over River,
but lie Kept Ahoat Until tho
Other Side is Safely
Reached

PHILADELPHIA, June 2.-The ball
loon Philadelphia, which assembled from
Point Breeze, in the southern section
of this city, at o'clock this afternoon,
collapsed while passing over the Schuyl-
kill river, but the skill of the navigator,
King, was kept afloat until the other
side of the stream was reached. The
balloon carried five passengers, two OF
whom were women. None of the occu-
pants was injured.
Within ten minutes after the balloon
arose the gas escaped and the big bag
collapsed while crossing the river. 1t
fell rapidly and lightly touched the
water
Prof. Kings frantic efforts to check
the course of the balloon were success
full and the big bag rose and was
landed successfully. All the passen-
gers were landed badly frightened, the
two women being almost hysterical.
The women passengers were Mrs. Kaine

MAY ASK GOVERNMENT
TO PAY FARE OF VETS
NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT OF G. A.
r. TO ACT
Railroads Refuse Concessions, and Old
Soldiers Feel That Congress
Should Come to Their
Relief

CLEVELAND, June ga movement
| is being started to have the United
| States government pay the railroad
| fare Of Civil War veterans on the oc-
casion of their grand encampments.
Railroads, of course, favor the plan,
and 1t Is said that the old soldiers are
doing quiet work among political lead
ers to bring this about.
This year the veterans have tried
hard to get a rate of cent mile for
the encampment at Toledo. The Cen
trail Passenger association has stead
tasty refused to make such conccs-
sion. The best the encampment could
draw was the fare and half, the same
as the National Educational associa-
ton or other big conventions in this
territory.
The railroads would gladly enough
grant the soldiers better rates than
other people, but it cannot be done
consistently under the 2-cent-a-mile
regime. Before the various states leg
islated on the rate of fare the soldiers
did get cent mile. To grant that
rate now would establish a precedent
that passenger representatives say
would be difficult to circumvent in the
future. not only as to the G. A. r. en-
campments, national and state, but as
to other big gatherings that clamor for
as big concession.
Besides, railroads figure they are
unable to carry delegates to any con-
vention as cheap as a cent a mile"
said a passenger official. Under the
circumstances, considering the fight
made by all the states and the federal
officials the government surely ought
to step up and pay the fare of it's battle
SCARED warriors. 1t surely is not in
position to ask us to grant them special
favcrs. There are few of the veterans
left, and why not have the government
show them all the kindness possible?"
The question is to be taken UP at the
coming encampment.

of Amateur Talent

Pupils of the Dobinson School OF Ex-
preston gave a dramatic recital last
evening at Dobinson auditorium, 1044
South Hope street. The program,
which was varied one. allowed scope
for wide range of talent.
The one-act drama, Pride" by Mrs,
Dobinson and Miss Amanda Mathews,
reflected much credit on the authors.
The scene of the play is laid in the
south and the plot centers in the con-
fiict of love and duty, with the con-
quest of the former, shown in strong
scene between a father and daughter.
Miss Ruth Kellogg, who was to have
received a diploma, and also to have
given a reading Of Aurora Leigh"
was absent on account of illness. The
May pole dance, which was pretty
feature of the evening. was followed
by general dancing.

ELECTRIC v|CTOR|As
ATTRACT ATTENTION

The handsome electric Victorias,
now seen about the streets, were
brought here by Clifford Kimball, who
secured the agency from the Woods
Motor Vehicle Co., when in the East.
What is a particularly noticeable
feature in these cars is the solid rub
Der tires, which eliminate all tire
troubles, Upon inquiry by an Adver-
tiser reporter, Mr.. Kimball stated that
comfort had not been sacrificed, as a
special platform spring suspension was
used, making the cars ride quite as
comfortably as with pneumatic tires.
Mr.. Kimball said further that he
found the use of electric vehicles
quite general, not only in the East,
but in the West, and he felt sure they
would soon find favor here, this being
an ideal place for them.
The reporter questioned the ability
of electrics to climb hills, but Mr..
Kimball laughed and said that was a
mistaken idea, and then told of the
feat of Woods Victoria, which made
faster time than twelve gasoline cars,
in the 1907 Algonquin hill climb con-
test.
He also said that he had no trouble
in going up Judd hill or the rest of
the climb to the Country Club.
In reply to the question of mileage,
he said the company guaranteed fifty
miles on one charge, but that a car
would average much more, and often
go 100 miles. A stock car recently
made the trip over country roads from
Chicago to Milwaukee, 95.3 miles, on
one charge.
An attractive feature seems to be
the ease and simplicity of operation;
and experience elsewhere has shown
minimum of repair bills.

the town of Dalton, in Wexas. Believ-
ing that an oil deposit actually under
lay the town, a trial boring was made
just outside the city.
The result was alarming. At depth
of $50 feet the drill points fell into
what was evidently a gigantic subter-
ranean cave, of which soundings failed
to reach the bottom.
Presently the earth began to fan
away, and drop into the fearful abyss.
A hinge pit appeared, which constantly
extended. Then all the water in the
town reservoir poured away, leaving
not one drop in the place.
Some of those natural phenomena are
quite beyond explanation. In the north
ern part of Polk county, Wis, there are
FIVE big holes in the ground, natural
wells, varying between 120 feet and 16o
feet deep.
Whenever rain is coming these wells
go crazy A current of air comes roar
ing out, with sound that can be heard
nearly half mile away. The air is
sometimes so hot that it will boil a ket-
tie, and, again, so cold that it will
freeze water.

Hilo Railway Business.

The business of the Hilo Railway
is reported to have increased lately
beyond expectations. This is due not
only to the work of hauling stone for
the Hilo Breakwater and the business
of the Hawaiian Mahogany Lumber
Company, but to the general business
of the road as well The development
of industries along the line of this road
is most promising The Olaa plantation
promises an exceedingly large crop this
year, and grinding will begin early in
December On Puma plantation where
cane planting was practically given up
in 1904, during the past two years the
abandoned areas have nearly all been
leased and planted with cane, the crop
contracted to Olaa mill. In addition
to this lands have been taken up in
Puma for pineapple and rubber plant
ing by concerns which have the fnan-
cial backing to insure fair trial of the
climatic and other conditions there, and
it is believed that these viii prove such
as to develop a considerable industry
there in these lines insuring increased
business to the railroad. There are
other numbering interests developing in
