timony taken before the Oliver grand
jury regarding the alleged bribery of
supervisors by officials of the Home
telephone company. The testimony

grand jury.

fendant must be prepared to plead to
the Is indictments. or else interpose a
demurrer or motion to set aside the
bills
The testimony of Oliver and Miss
Condor convinced Berry and the court
that the testimony taken by the grand
jury in July, 1907, was regularly re
ported. Miss Condor stated that she had
been requested either by Langdon or
Heney to report the testimony, and that
she was sworn in by the foreman. She
read from her notes the names of the
witnesses who testified against Det-
wi1er after the indictments had been
returned. Berry admitted after hear
ing Miss Condon's statement that the
testimony had been reported in regu-
lar form, and that Detwiler was en-

EXPERT WITNESS CLAIMS
$4,000 is FAIR SALARY
Archibald c. Kains, Examiner Of Clearance
House Banks Of San Francisco
Makes the Statement.

Frank L. Wildes, receiver of the
State Bank and Trust company, is
SO well pleased with his labors
that he is now asking for an in
crease in salary. He appeared be-
fore the district court last Saturday
and made the request The fol-
lowing from the Carson News of
Sunday morning tells the story;
Yesterday morning the matter
of hearing witnesses in the fixing
of the salary of Frank L. Wildes
as receiver of the State Bank and
Trust company and the arguments
upon the receiving of the report
of the receiver were taken up by
Judge Langan in the district court.
Roberts and Sanford appeared for
the depositors and Judge Mack for
the receiver.
Archibald c. Kains, the exam
liner for the San Francisco clear
ance house banks, was placed upon
the stand by Attorney Mack and
questioned as to the affairs of the
receivership, as investigated by
him.
He had examined the affairs
of the bank during the week past
and was fully aware of the work
that had been done by the receiver
and the amount of work that would
have to be done in the future. He
fully agreed with the action taken
by Wildes in his management of
the receivership and believed that
his policy had been one that would
work to the benefit of the depOsi.
tors. Taking into consideration the
size of the estate; the quality of
the assets, the results accomplished;
what is likely to be accomplished;
special ability and the money ex-
pended and collected he believed
that salary of $4,000 a year was
not too much for the receiver
He thought that he should re-
ceive the sum of $4,000 for the
work done up to the present report
and that smaller sum would be
proper from now on but IL the bank
should be able to pay out to a
greater extent in the future that
Mr.. Wildes should be more literally
rewarded.
"Mr Kains stated that the bank
was In the worst condition of any
bank he ever knew of at the tina
OF its closing. He had found on
looking over the list of the borrow
ers the names of men that would
not be able to get cent in san
Francisco and here they were large
debtors to the bank. He also be-
lieved that II would have been q
wrong policy to have auctioned
OF property OF the banks and II
this had been done the deposi;ors
would not have received more than
fifteen cents on the dollar. The

best policy to pursue was one OF
nursing and if this was done the
depositors would be able to receive
a fair amount of money back again.
He first heard of Wildes about ten
days ago when the President of
the Wells Fargo bank asked him
to come to Carson and look into
the affairs. He first met Mr.,
Wildes last Wednesday,
Mr.. Kains was questioned by the
attorneys on both sides and Judge
Langan also asked a few questions
as to the necessity of Mr.. Wiides
need in clerical help in the bust
ness. Mr.. Kains stated that tho
matter of clerical help should be
left in a great measure to MIR.
Wildes and if they could not trust
him in matters of that kind the
best thing to do was to get an
other receiver
Mr.. Kains was the only witness
examined and after his dismissal
Attorney Roberts started in with
his argument which lasted nearly an
hour. In the afternoon session
Judge Mack answered the argument
of Attorney Roberts and the matter
was then submitted to the court.
Judge Langan took the matter
under advisement as he wished to
look through the testimony and will
give his decision later on. He will
hold court in this city Monday when
he will probably rule upon the
question submitted.

MANY CITIES PUT BAN
ON BIG FIGHT PICTURES
Likelihood Of Race Riots Result In Ae-
tIoh by Authorities In Sew
eral States.

New York.--A movement Is on foot
which promises TO become worldwide
In its scope. TO prevent the exhibition
OF the Jeffries-Johnson prize fight pic
lures. The United Societies Of the
Christian Endeavor. with 100000
members. and the International Asso-
citation OF Police Chiefs are the lead
ers OF the crusade.
The Christian Endeavor society,
through Its Boston headquarters. tele-
graphed TO the governor of every
state in the Union, asking that the
pictures be barred on the ground that
they reproduce an illegal act. and
that their exhibition would be just as
illegal as the actual fight. Secretary
William Shaw declared that he had
wired President Taft. Colonel Roose-
velt and Governor Hughes, asking
them to use their influence to prevent
the pictures from being exhibited.
The American vitagraph company,
which owns the fight films, is believed
to have spent s250,00O in purchasing
the exclusive rights and in taking
the pictures. Jeffries was paid $685.
66e, while Johnson got $4,000.
Rickard and Gleason each got one
sixth. In addition the moving pic
ture concern spent small fortune
sending a score Of expert operators to
Reno and in other incidental ex.
penses. The picture people expected
to take in $l,000.000 during the first
month the pictures were on exhibit
ton. This sum is sure TO be reduced
materially II the agitation against the
pictures continues to spread.
Among the larger cities that have
already put the stamp of disapproval
on the pictures are: Washington, vir-
gfnla (entirc state). TT. Worth, Tex,
Baltimore. Boston, Lincoln. Neb.,
Louisville. Lexington. Ky, Cincinnati,
Atlanta, Harrisburg, Pa, Los Angeles.
Savannah, and the whole state Of
Iowa.
In many southern cities the agita-
tion against the fight pictures is In
creasing, due to the fact that a negro
was the victor. The sight of q negro
standing over the PROSTATE form of a
white champion, 1t is generally be-
lieved, will be sure to instill feeling
of race prejudice that would end in
rioting.
The crusade has extended abroad
In Johannesburg. South Africa, the
biograph halls themselves have pro-
hiblted the pictures. The latent race
feeling in South Africa would burst
into flames, the managers declare. If
the pictures were placed on exhibi.
tion in that country.

FALLS FAR WITH AERoPLANE.
Baroness De Ia Roche Loses Head al
Approach of other Aeronauts.


Betheny Plain, Rheims-Baroness
De la Roche, the first French
woman aeroplanist, was injured prob
ably fatally here by falling from a
height OF more than $50 feet.
Baroness De la Roche had flown
around the field once at a height Of
so meters (250 feet), when suddenly
in front of the applauding tribunes
she appeared to become frightened
and confused at the approach of two
other aercplanes. She began TO de-
scend. but while still so meters from
the ground lost control of the ma
chine. The aeroplane turned over and
fell like log.
The baroness legs and arms were
broken. Her mangled body was re-
moved from the wreckage and taken
to the hospital, where she is said to
be dying. II was found that her skull
was fractured.
While momentarily conscious the
baroness said that the rush OF air
from a motor passing over her head
had frightened her. whereupon she cut
the ignition and lost control OF her
machine.
This is the second fatal accident at
this meeting. Aviator Wachter hav-
ing been killed last Friday.
