San Francisco, Calf, June 49,
When court convened this morning in

He directly charged jury fixing and
perjury against the officers and agents
of the United railroads. He charged
that the home of James Gallagher in
Oakland had been dynamited by the
agents of the defense. At the end Of
this subject he said:
Now that Mr.. Moroe. for the de-

Washington, .Jule Ex-senator Bal

most OF the democrats and republican

the opening session this morning that
he wonld consent to postpone the
disposal of the income tax question
until after the tariff schedules were
disposed of. 1t became apparent at
once that postponement would be
made, out there was some debate be-
fore this CONCLUSION was reached.
Senator Bailey sought an assurance
that no motion would be, made to
send an amendment to the committee,
but Senator Hepburn resisted, saying
he would agree to no proposition
favoring an income tax or tax on
corporations or any subterfuge" for
mars baying the expenses Of the gov
ernment
Aldrich then announced that he had
asked that the attorney general pre-
pare an amendment to the constitu-
ton in keeping with the ideas Of
President Taft and that the amend.
ment would be considered in this con-
crete form before being taken up reg
ularly.
Senator Bailey said he understood
that all bills for revenue should orig
mate in the house, instead OF the
White House, and Senator Aldrich re-
Piled It was not matter Of revenue,
but working to the best advantage.
The amendment then was allowed to
go over.

live BLACK HAND
SENSATION in Las VEGAS

That the deadly black hand has fex-
tended its operations to Las Vegas
would seem evident from information
unearthed here today. showing that
Lewis Brady, a negro who conducts a
barber shop in the J. B. Mackel build
ing on the plaza, has received warn
ing from the black hand threatening
him with death unless he leaves
town. and also threatening to dyna-
mite the building owned by Mackel
unless he take immediate steps to
put Brady out Of the said building.
The case has been placed in the
hands Of Sheriff Cleofes Romero. who
is investigating the matter, and in
teresting developments are expected.
While some people are disposed to
treat the matter as joke. yet the
Officers are inclined to believe that
enemies OF Brady, who are anxious
to get him out Of the way. have TAX
en- this means to brighten him into
leaving the city If. after all, the
matter is a Joke. it might be wei for
the persons perpetrating it to know
that it is serious offense ard a
felony by statute to send a threaten.

SUSPECTED CELESTIAL SKIPS
cHuM OF DEAD WOMAN SAYS HE
WAS GREATLY ENAMoRED
OF HER

New York, June 19.-The murder
ci Miss Elsie Sigel, granddaughter OF
General Franz Sigel, whose body was
found last night iammed in a trunk
in the room of a Ch,naman, after she
had been strangled to death with
curtain cord, appears to be the most
mysterious crime in years.
One Of the odd phases of the case
was the failure of the father, Paul
Sigel, to identity the body of his
daughter, while the mother identi-
fed the daughter by pieces Of jew
elry. A number OF persons have been
found who declare that Miss Sigel had
been friend to the Chinaman, VIII
liam NJ Leon, in whose room the
body vas found. Notwithstanding the
identification of the corpse. it is sta
ted that Paul Sigel,. the father, has
gone to Washington to "bring his
Elsie home"
Leon. who is also known by sew
eral other Chinese names, is not to
be found, neither is Chung Sin, who
occupied the adjoining room. Both
rooms were on the fourth floor of a
building on Eighth avenue. over a
Chinese restaurant 1t is reported
that Leon and Sin are on their way
to Vancouver, by Panama. and all
boats are being watched.
Miss sigel had been engaged in
missionary work among the Chinese
and was twenty years old. Florence
Todd, another missionary worker,
who identified the body, told the po-
lice that Elsie ami Leon were thrown
much together and that Leon was
greatly enamored of the girl and in
tensely Jealous Of her. Between fif-
teen hundred and two thousand let
ters from women and girls in New
York and other cities were found in
Icons room, Some we're signed Ell
sic and were evidently love letters
A note took contained the names Of
hundreds of girls and women It is
evident that Miss .Sigels footwear
was taEen from her to prevent her
escape.

tors were present in the court room
this morning when Chief Justice w
J. Mills took his seat, and Sheriff RIO
nero called the court to order. With
in the bar sat twelve prisoners. al
of them young men. with anxiety de
picted on their countenances as they
faced the court, each wondering what
sentence he would receive. There were
no hardened criminals in the array OF
prisoners before the court, but their
appearance impressed one that they
were in most instances the victims of
unfortunate circumstances brought
about largely by the environments in
which they had been reared. Before
proceeding to pass sentence, Judge
Mills stated that to him it was very
sad and unpleasant duty TO send any
man to the territorial penitentiary,
and that he would rather err on the
side of mercy than severity in the
sentences which he would impose
George Mcneil was the first prison
er to stand up and face the court. He
was indicted for larceny Of set OF
harness from the barn of D. w Lee,
and also for taking some articles from
tie warehouse Of F. J. Gehring, there
being two indictments against him for
larceny. He is a young man and
stated he was IS years of age al
though he looks to be few years
older When asked whether he had
anything to say why sentence should
not be imposed, he stated that he had
plead guilty to the charges against
him and would ask the court to be
Ienient with him. That he was born
in Kentucky, and was enroute to Cal
ifornia when he stopped off id Las
Vegas and committed the larcenies
for which he was indicted. He stated
that he was i'll and had been advised
by his physician to go to California
for his health, being a sufferer from
tuberculosis; that he was wi hout
money and that he took the articles
to raise money to help him on his
way. The court imposed sentence
on him Of 1S months in the ter~.tor-
iaI penitentiary.
Sofre Otero and Perfecto Salas two
Mexican boys, about 20 years old,
who had plead guilty to the larceny of
two horses belonging TO Flo-encio

had nothing to say why sentence
should not be imposed on them, ex-
cept that they we're both drunk when
they stole the horses. Sofre Otero

two horses and took them to Rocia-
