OFFICERS At NEWPORT
BEACH CONDUCT RAID

SANTA ANA, June 13-Newport
Beach had some excitement last Sat
urday afternoon, when three alleged
"blind pigs" were discovered and their
proprietors arrested. Those arrested
are j. j. Schnitker Of the Newport
drug store, Mrs. Tagliaferro and G.
J. Roller of the Newport tavern and
c. S. Hemstreet, a fisherman. The
cases We're taken before City Recorder
NJ. l.. Orcutt with the result of pleas
Of guilty from Schnitcker, who was
fined $50, and Mrs. Tagliaferro, who
was fined 800. Roller and Hemstreet
pleaded not guilty and were freed
under bond. Their trials will occur
next Friday morning.
The saloon situation at Newport
Beach is in a somewhat uncertain
stage. Higley & Yribarni have with
drawn their application for a license
because of the clause in almost every
deed to Newport property that pro-
hibits the property from ever being
used for saloon purposes.
Maurice Grau Of Los Angeles is not
afraid to test the clause and has made
application for a saloon license, and
if he obtains it he will proceed at once
TO put UP the $4,000 building required
by the town ordinance.

RAILWAY BILL AGREEMENT
BARRED BY 0NLY0NE POINT
ConfereeS Hold Final Meeting at
Home of United States
Senator EIkinS

WASHINGTON, June 13.-With the
end in sight q session of the conferees
on the railroad bill was held tonight
at the home of Senator Elkins. Only
one feature of the bill remained as a
serious bar to final agreement. That
related to the period of suspension of
rate increases pending an investiga-
tion by the interstate commerce COM
mission to determine their reasonable
ness.
President Taft showed marked inter-
est in this provision, and although a
tentative agreement was reached, the
suggestion of compromise must be
submitted to him before 1t is placed
in the conference bill. 1t is under
stood Senators Elkins and Aldrich and
Representative Mann will take their
tentative declaration to the White
House tomorrow.
Another important feature settled
tentatively is that which prohibits
railroads from charging a higher rate
for a short than for long haul. The
western members of the senate eX
pressed a fear if the house provision
were accepted 1t would be declared un-
constitutional, and thereby they have
urged the I0nfoToos 70 insist upon the
senate amendment.
Senator Newlands and Representa-
tive Adamson of Georgia, the Demo-
cratic conferees, were called into the
conference late today by their Re
publican associates. This fact led to
the report that final agreement had
been reached.

JAPANESE FISHERMEN
PROVE SELVES HEROES

SANTA MONICA, June 13.-Narrow-
ly escaping destruction on the rocks
of the Malibu, toward which their
boat was drifting, three Italian fisher
men from San Pedro tonight owe their
lives to K. Ogura and S. Tani, Japan
ese boys, who went to their rescue.
Unaware of their danger, the fisher
men, Mike Nyoncichi and two COM
panions, were sleeping peacefully In
the bottom of their boat when Ogura
and Tani reached them.
Nyoncichi and his fellow fishermen
arrived here last night in launch on
an all-night run from San Pedro.
They passed the day sleeping in a
little dory attached to the launch,
which was moored near the long wharf.
In some manner the dory became freed
from the lavnch and drifted north
ward toward the jagged rocks, which
meant certain disaster if it went
ashore. Their predicament was dis
covered by other fishermen at the
wharf and the Japanese boys were
notified. Without hesitation they
launched a small boat and rowed rap
idly toward the dory of the slumber-
ing Italians, reaching them just in
time to awaken them and warn them
Of their peril.

LOW OR HIGH BRIDGE is
LEFT TO PASADENA VOTERS
City Engineer Will Survey the Ap-
proaCheS to Arroyo SeCo

PASADENA, June 14.-City Engineer
Van Ornum will start active work to-
day on the survey of the proposed ap-
proach to the Pasadena side of the
low bridge which is planned to cross
the arroyo on the site of the present
Scoville bridge, only 45 feet higher.
Preliminary drawings provide for
route north on Grand avenue from the
foot of West Colorado street, as at
present, to the junction of Linda Vista
avenue and Arroyo drive. BY straight
ening the turn in Arroyo drive oppo-
site the old Valley Hunt club site, it is
figured the route can be made to run
almost due SOUTH through the ScoVille
orange grove to a point opposite the
bridge, where it will turn at practically
right angles and run due west to the
bridge.
This route, if accepted. will obviate
the troublesome curves in the present
route, and the city engineer estimates
the present II per cent grade can be
reduced to per cent, which is practic-
ally the same as the grade on Colorado
street above Terrace drive.
Chairman knight of the board of
trade bridge committee stated last
night that another set of plans and
estimates on the proposed high bridge
from the foot of Colorado street to
Eagle Rock road is being prepared.
When these are obtainable, and when
the figures from the city engineer as to
the estimated cost OF the approach 20
the low bridge are forthcoming, the
matter will be brought before the
bridge committee to decide on the ad-
visibility of calling a bond election.
1t is said the selection of the high or
low bridge may be left to the voters,
and it is hoped to have the proposition
in shape to present to the people along
with the proposed Carmelita bond cleo
ton.

CALLS WIFE TO THE DOOR;
SHOOTS HER AND KILLS SELF
Especial to The Herald)

OAKLAND, June 13.-Calling his
wife, for whom he had been searching
for the past six weeks, to the bottom
of the stairs of a lodging house at 1917
Seventh street, Frank George Johnson,
a negro plasterer of Los Angeles, at s
o'clock tonight probably fatally
wounded her. He shot her three times
in the abdomen with a 92-caliber Colt
revolver. Thinking that he had killed
the woman, Johnson turned the gun
on himself and sent a bullet through
his brain.
1t seems that Johnson had arrived
from Los Angeles last night and had
been unable, up to the time of the
shooting, to find the woman for whom
he had been in search. On coming to
the lodging house this evening he
asked if she We're living there, and
shot her the moment she came to the
door.
The dead man was 2S years old and
had been married for the past six
years. A little over a month ago he
and his wife had had trouble which
resulted in her leaving him and COM
ing to Oakland.
Anna Johnson, the woman, was %
years of age.

GUTHRIE STILL HOPES TO
GET BACK THE CAPITAL

GUTHRIE, Okla, June 13.-The ac-
tion of Governor Haskell today in es-
tablishing the state executive depart
ment at Oklahoma City as the perma-
nent capital, while expected, caused
deep gloom here. The governors Of
flee here today was vacant save for a
few clerks. No official business was
transacted in the other state offices.
orders have been sent from Oklahoma
City that no warrants be issued in the
auditors office and none be registered
in the treasurer's Office.
The action of Governor Haskell in
removing the seat of government, in
the opinion of a supreme court officer,
in no way makes certain the retention
of the capital at Oklahoma City.
There is serious doubt that Governor
Haskell has any kind of authority to
change the seat of government. What
he did was to anticipate the probable
returns of the state election board.

MAY INDEFINITELYDEFER
DOC MUZZLING ME- ASURE
Pasadena Officials and Humane
Society Declare Rabies
SCareS GroundIeSS

PASADENA. June 14.-That the dog
muzzling ordinance which was de-
feated last week will be allowed to lay
on the shelf for a while is the opinion
of city officials and humane society
representatives who were interviewed
yesterday. Mayor Farley and Coun-
Gilman Mercereau are absent from the
city, and with Councilmen Barnes and
Cattell opposed to the measure 1t
would be necessary for Acting Mayor
Hotaling to support the ordinance in
order TO give it the required majority.
The latter states that unless some
urgent necessity arises he will not fa-
Vor reopening the case. He was op-
posed to repeating the measure last
winter at the time other cities were
enacting precautionary measures
against rabies, but now the act is Off
the books he declares he is willing to
let the matter rest.
Humane society officials. while TAX
ing no active stand against the dog
muZzling ordinance, have expressed
themselves as not in favor of the act
declaring that practically every mad
dog scare in the city recently has been
found when investigated to be with
out grounds.
The city treasurer's office is closing
up the dog license business for the
fiscal year ending June 80 and prepar-
ing to issue licenses for next year. In
the scramble for the first tag DR..
Charles Ward has taken out tag No
l for the year 1901, while the initial
tag for 1911-12 has been issued to
George Downing. There were 1871
licenses issued during the year just
closing and 1864 last year. The fee is
s1.50 for male dogs and $3.50 for fe-
males.

MADRIZ PROTESTS AGAINST
AMERICAN INTERFERENCE

SAN JUAN DEL SUR, June 13-
President Madriz, it is understood, has
sent a message to President Taft with
reference to the action of the American
naval commander at Bluefields since
the capture of the bluff by the govern
ment forces.
President Madriz declares Bluefields
would have been occupied Immediately
but for the commander of the Ameri-
can gunboat Paducah, who announced
that he would oppose this by force of
arms.
In conclusion Madriz says: IT am
unable to reconcile these acts with the
principles of neutrality proclaimed by
international law. 1 have, however,
complete confidence in the rectitude of
the American government TO the end
that the American commanders will be
modified, thus enabling the government
to end the bloody and destructive revo-
luton, which could not exist without
outside assistance, and which is work.
