HE|NzE CASE WILL
co TO JURY TODAY
Defense Rests Without Calling
Former Bank President
in His Own Behalf

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE case of
f. Augustus Heinze, former president
of the Mercantile National bank, ac-
cused by the government Of misappro-
priation of bank funds and of over
certification of the checks OF Otto
Heinze & Co., his brothers Arm, will
go to the jury tomorrow.
A big surprise was sprung by the
defense today in resting its case with
out calling Heinze to the stand. Prose-
cutor Wise in turn rested his case
without any attempt at rebuttal.
Under the ruling of Judge Hough,
confining the charges to the single
transaction of a $500,000 loan on Oc-
tober IA, 1907, made by the Mercantile
National bank to Otto Heinze & Co,
the defense confined itself to one line
of attack on the indictment.
The only testimony offered was as
to the value of the collateral offered by
Heinze to secure this loan. To prove
the stability of the United Copper COM
pany, whose stock was pledged In se-
curity, the secret resources of the
Heinze brothers were made public.
Witnesses today were questioned to
prove that companies controlled by the
United Copper company gave it a sub
stantial footing.
Emil Klein, cashier of the Mercantile
bank, was questioned with view to
relieving Heinze of part of the re-
sponsibility for the $500,000 loan. Klein
testified to receiving checks of $126,OOO
and $4,000 from Charles w. Morse on
October Is, 1907, in part payment of
the loan.

The railroads attorneys disputed the
claim of the growers that the lemon
rate was believed to be permanent

asserting that inasmuch as the grow

by reason of better handling. smaller
percentage of decay, saving OF money

improvement of carrier service, better
quality of fruit, decrease in Italian
completion, increase in tariff, the
railroads were entitled to increase
charges for transportation.

NO CLUBS, NO ORAT0RY,
NO VOTES, IN PRECINCT 19
Watts? Nay 'Tis Long Beach
Where VoteIess District Lies

Democrats and Republicans at the
two political headquarters yesterday
were much amused at the discovery
that Los Angeles county contains one
precinct in which there are no voters.
This precinct is No. 19 of Long Beach,
which consists merely of strip of sand
annexed by Long Beach recently in
order to connect that municipality with
Terminal The precinct contains MOTH
ing but salt factory, and although a
number of men are employed there, all
of them live in other precincts.
The news was quietly given out at
first that "there was not a Democratic
vote in precinct 49," and this led to an
investigation by the Democrats, who
discovered that there was not even
Republican vote in the prec1nct-nor
any other kind.
AS a result of this discovery it was
stated yesterday that there probably
would be no political club organized in
this fprecinct, and the campaign ora
tors will steer clear of it.
Precinct No. 19 is believed to be the
only voteless precinct in Southern Cali
fornia, if not in the entire state.

q AN JUAN, Costa Rica, May IL
~ Heavy earthquakes were felt here
~ today. Thousands of persons are
leaving the city in alarm. A series OF
severe shocks was experienced yester-
day. Many persons left their homes
and gathered in National park.
While fear has seized a great part of
the populace here, the authorities are
resolutely at work among the ruins of
Cartago. Many have been released
from the debris and some Of them will
survive.
In most cases Identification of the
dead is impossible. 1t is reported that
the dead include two Americans.
The dead are being buried as rapidly
as possible at the direction of the
health inspectors. Dynamite is being
used to lower dangerous walls.
The Red Cross, the police, the militia
and members of the foreign colonies
are actively engaged in the relief work
and have accomplished much since the
earthquake.
AS fast as discovered the injured are
removed to this city, where they re-
ceive medical attention. The public
schools have been converted into tenn
porary hospitals. The sanitary author
tiles are burying the dead promptly and
are taking other precautionary meas
ures against an epidemic.
Kindly expressions and material as
sistance from other countries have been
received with gratitude by the public.
The messages of coincidence are many.
The donations of Mexico, the activi-
ties of the American Red Cross and the
promptness with which press associa-
tions of other countries have made
known the distress of the stricken ter
ritory are practical proofs of foreign
sympathy that are recognized and ap-
preciated.
There is already talk of the recon
struction of Cartago, and it is sug-
gested the government may determine
the kir.d of material to be used, as well
as the manner of their construction.
The shocks here do not appear 20

n HOENIX, Ariz., May 11.-Train
number 16 of the Maricopa and
\ Phoenix line of the Arizona East
ern system, due to leave Maricopa for
Phoenix at $50 o'clock p. M, but
starting one hour late this evening,
was taken possession of by two BAN
dts who boarded the train near Mari
copa, about one mile from the station.
The bandits stationed themselves at
one end of the smoking car and ordered
all hands UP. One stood guard While
the other rifled the pockets of the pas
sengers, taking only money and throw
ing what watches they got on the
floor.
After going through the smoker they
repeated the performance In the second
car Of the train, which was only carry
ing two coaches. There were only
eleven passengers on board and all
were robbed. the amount taken total
ing a little less than 5000.
Among the passengers were Ralph
Sturgis and another deputy sheriff of
Gila county, taking two prisoners to
the penitentiary. The officers at first
thought the holdup was hoax of
armed passengers, realizing the truth
only after the bandits had gotten the
drop on them and orderd their hands
up.
John B. Wright, attorney general of
Arizona, sat with Sturgis and re-
quested him at this juncture not to
start anything" as it would make
things worse.
The mail, express and baggage cars
were not molested In about twenty
minutes the robbers completed their
work, forced the brakeman to stop the
train and then fled in the darkness to
q point where 1t is presumed they had
horses. The men were not masked
and the authorities have good descrip-
tions of them. It is believed they will
be captured unless they make the Mex
ican line tonight.
The railroad notified all officials up
and down the line and started sec
tion foreman and posse OF armed
men from the next stop this side of
the point of the holdup, only a short
time behind the fugitives.
The Sacaton Indian reservation au-
thorities a few miles to the east of the
n lldup have turned out force of
trailers, and to the west and south Is
a desert country stretching to Mexico,
but dry and a hundred mile trip be-
fore the boundary Is reached.
The only personal injury was caused
by one of the robbers rapping one pas
senger over the head with gun when
the passenger was slow to respond to
the order to hold up his hands.
An additional posse, sherirfs and
United States marshals left here at 3
o'clock %. m. with horses on train
TO the point of the robbery, where they
will attempt to take up the trail of
the bandits.

SIXTY BABY H0MESEEKERS
ON WAY TO NEW ORLEANS
Crescent City Wants Infants;
New York Supplies Them

CHICAGO, May ia party Of sixty
''homeseekers" arrived here today
from New York, en- route to New Or
leans.
The ."homeseekers" are infants rang
ing in age from three months to slight
ly more than year old. They go to
New Orleans to remedy a situation
brought about through obvious over
sight of the stork.
1t appears the visits of the stork
have not been as frequent in New Or
leans as is desirable. AS a consequence
the city has discovered that it is In
need of babies.
New York, on the other hand, has
discovered that it is in possession of
more babies than is essential for its
welfare.
The New York Founding hospital
s officials hit upon a solution of these
difficulties by bundling sixty of their
choicest infants into specially prepared
berths in a specially-arranged Pull
man car, along with seventeen of their
trained nurses, and consigning the
whole lot to New Orleans.
