CHANCE FOR f. G.
RICE To EXPLAIN
HIMSELF

e. L. Rice of the Spokane Muir
sery company offered to sell four
lots at Washington and Indiana as
a site for the city hall at $4,000
per lot or 100000 for the four.
Today the county board of
equalization looked up the assess
ment of the property and found
that three of the lots were on the
tax rolls at $640 apiece and the
fourth at 1896, total of $2815.
1t was ordered by the board that
Mr. Rice be summoned before that
body to show why each of his four
lots should not be raised to $10.--
900 each or $4,000, this being 60
per cent cash valuation placed upon
the ground by Mr.. Rice himself in
his offer to thte city.

UNEXPECTED INTEREST
IN CITY HALL FIGHT

Some unexpected interest has
been injected into the city hall con-
troversy by the discovery that Ros-
enhaupt & Weaver, the real estate
men pushing the Auditorium site,
had exempted the Auditorium thea
ter from the property sought to be
sold TO the city.
1t is stated by a member of the
city council that Rosenhaupt g.
Weaver took an option on the whole
building at 100000 and then tried
to sell the city the rest of the
building, the theater and the heat
ing plant excepted, for $375.000
Arthur D. Jones & Co., through
his right hand man, Gordon C. Cor
bailey. has been pushing two sites
for the city hall. 1t is recalled that
Mr.. Jones sold the site for the gov
eminent building on Riverside ave.

of the kitchen stove.
The Kendalls were last seen
alive July 23 by neighbors. Since
then none but the Japanese was
seen near the pleace until Tuesday
last when a second Japanese was
found by Mrs. Johnson and boy
who are summering at Cazadero.
The Johnsons had visited the Ken
dali farm house out of idle curl
osity. They found the place de-
serted, but hiding under cot was
a Japanese who skulked away after
telling them that he was joking.
On leaving the Japanese picked up
hunting knife from table. The
officers believe that the murders,
if committed, were done with that
weapon.
HEAP OF ASHES.
The sheriff and his deputies
searched the place thoroughly, but
until they came upon the pile of
ashes and debris in the yard did
they discover the bones and relics
did they get the first intimation
that murder had been done.
The heap of ashes disclosed
clothing, portions of human ribs,
skulls and some ribbons. A wed
ding ring on which ct. A. X" was
engraved, was found in the heap.
The bones were gathered up in a
paper and taken to Santa Rosa for
further examination,
FLESH FED TO HOGS.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, Aug. AIS
sstant District Attorney G. W.
Hoyle said today: 1--WE believe
that one Of the most dastardly muir
ders in the history of Sonoma
county has been committed on the
Starbuck ranch. T. A. Kendall,
his father, Enoch, and his mother,
IRA, probably were stabbed to
death, their flesh fed to the hogs
on the ranch and their bones
burned in the kitchen stove. Every
attempt was made by the murderer
or murderers to conceal the crime
and every effort will be made BY
the authorities to uncover It,"

30 MEN ON JOB

City Engineer Mccartney says
that he has so men still at work on
the Monroe street bridge, and that
he does not believe that the action
of the union men in walking off
the work will delay the structure
any.
One of the men that quit his job
on one city job, when ordered to do
so by the labor council, went right
back to work on another city job,
at the Sprague avenue fill said Nc
Cartney this morning.

CITY FORCES BOILER INSPECTOR
TO GIVE UP HIS UNION CARD
Because ne was a union man, a

Because ne was union man, a
member Of the Stationary Engi-
neers' local, and because Commits
sioner Armstrong and other city
officials believed that his affilia-
tons might prejudice him in favor
of any engineer or other class of
man with a union card in his
pocket, Charles Vedder, city boiler
inspector, was called before the
members of the board of public
works this morning and told in no
unequivocal manner that he must
either leave the employ Of the
city or quit his union"
Without moments hesitation,
Vedder told Commissioner Arm
strong, who made the demand, that
he would quit the union. His &C
ton, and that taken by the city in
making such demand on a man,
is taken in labor unto circles today
as direct and prejudiced action
on the part of the city. and has
caused a great deal of stir.
AS boiler inspector, Vedder has
the right to issue licenses to all
engineers who desire to enter the
city's employ. The city, under its
charter, must remain open shop,
and for several months trouble has
broken out sporadically with the
unions over this question. The
commissioners told Vedder that
they feared being union man
would prejudice him in favor Of
men who carried the regulation
union card, and that In case of
strike he might decline to issue
licenses to any but union engineers
and the city work would therefore
be tied up.

nue., and that after the city had
passed a number of ordinances and
made various concessions to get the
building where it is Mr.. Jones
turned up with part of the ground in
the rear of the building that many
of the boosters for that site thought
went to the government This piece
is the corner of Lincoln and Main,
on which Mr.. Jones recently erected
new building.
The city council is thinking of ap-
pointing a commission when it
again meets to consider the city
hall matter, to determine exactly
how many strings there are to the
different offers of city hall sites.
The councilmen say they have been
accused of improper motives. so
that it is deemed advisable at this
time to determine where the other
fellows interest lies.

East Indian Drug" May
Have Been Given Him
Saturday Before

(ey United Press Leased Wire.)
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4.-That
James J. Jeffries was "doped," prob.
ably with an East Indian drug, Is
the opinion Of Roger Cornell, the
veteran trainer, who had charge Of
the rubbing room at the ex-cham-
pion's camp.
Il for one think that Jeffries was
given an East Indian drug" said
Cornell, discussing Jeffries' sudden
reversal of form just before the big
battle. And think it was given to
him on the Saturday night before
the fight On Saturday afternoon
Jeffries went. fishing and did not
return until 10 O'Clock. He would
not take any of his trainers with
him, but always took lot of
friends, and you know what that
means.
"Jeffries was not doped eight
days before the fight, as he says,
for l would have noticed it, as l
watched him very closely. l will
say that I noticed the change Sun
day morning and more so Monday
noon. when became absolutely
convinced that Jeffries was a
wreck. He acted like a child, doing
everything l told him, things he
would never do before without an
argument
"Corbett, Choynski and the rest
of them would have been of great
assistance to Jeffries, but they
seemed to be afraid that if they said
anything the big fellow would do ex-
actly the opposite. If they had been
allowed to handle his training out
side the rubbing room, he would not
have been drugged, if he was
drugged."
