HIS WIFE AND
DAUGHTER ASK
Communication

Clinging to the forlorne hope that
a personal plea with Governor West
may cause him to extend clemency to
Jesse P. Webb, the Portland trunk
murderer, the wife and daughter to-
day arrived in the city, and, after
visit with him at the state peniten-
tiary, appeared before the governor,
and asked him to commute the death
sentence to life imprisonment.
Mrs. Webb and daughter make
their home in Vancouver, Wash, and
the typographical union of that town
few days ago petitioned the COVER
nor to commute the death sentence.
The members of the union set forth
in their petition that Webb, while at
Vancouver, always had led an in
dustrious and sober life, and that his
execution would cast stigma on his
family.
For the purpose of strengthening
this appeal by a personal plea with
the governor, the wife and daughter
came to the city today, and also for
the purpose of short visit with the
condemned man.
Webb's sentence calls for his ex-
ecution on September g..

AUTHORITY
G'aaIA uasva1 ssaad da11Nnl

San Francisco, Aug. 16.-With the
hope of being cited for contempt, E.
j. Thomas, third officer on the
steamer Santa Rosa, which was
wrecked at Point Arguello last month
on the advice of his counsel, refused
to testify today before the federal
board of inspection. After a colloquy
with Inspector Bulger, Attorney Tay-
lor asserted that he hoped that he
and Thomas be sent to Jail, in Or
der to define what he terms the arbi-
trary powers claimed by the inspect
ors.
This is the first time in the his
tory Of navigation in this country
that the federal inspectors have ever
been opposed, and the action of Tay-
lor, in refusing to permit his client
TO testify will be used as a basis for
a test.
The trial of Captain ]. o. Faria, of
the Santa Rosa, before the inspectors
was postponed until Monday on ac-
count of the Illness OF inspector
Bolles. Third Officer Thomas is in
volved in the Faria trial, since he
was in charge Of the vessel when she
went aground.

Washington, Aug. 16.-nr. Wiley
on the stand this morning said:
"The chemistry bureaus work is
not only nullified, but the public
money is squandered as we'll. The
cost of the bureaus work is a total
loss. Nine thousand cases concern
ing misbranding and adulteration
have been prepared by my bureau
and the average cost of each case is
$780,"
DR.. Wiley completed his testimony
with the statement that McCabe rare
ly attended the meetings of the in
spection board, and that, as far as
he knew, Secretary Wilson approved
all of the boards decisions.
In a lengthy explanation of the
employment of DR.. H. H. Rusby, of
New York, on irregularities in con-
nection with which the charges
against him were based, Wiley de-
MED that he had contracted with
Rusby to employ him for a specific
number Of days at salary of $1,6OO
After Congressman Floyd had read
the letter which Rusby was alleged
to have sent Wiley, the latter stated
that he never saw the letter and
called attention to the fact that Rus
by testified that he did not send the
original because Wiley was away but
that a copy of the letter inadvertent-
ly was placed in Rusby's files.
Denying ever having corresponded
with Rusby regarding the New York
experts salary, Wiley said
ANY connection l have with the
matter is based on this letter, which
never even left Rusby's house."
The letter showed that Rusby
asked $4,000 annually for 100 days
work, "if satisfactory to the depart
ment." The qualifying clause appar-
emily was eliminated when the per-
sonnel board formulated the charges.
Wiley, continuing his defense,
said:

THIS ENDS THE
COAL MINING
AT SCOTT MILLS

Deputy Sheriff Esch left today for
SCOTS Mills where this afternoon he
will sell at auction the machinery of
the Oregon Diamond Coal & Devel-
opment company against which a
judgment was recently secured in the
circuit court by John Scott.
This company began mining for
coal in the vicinity of SCOTS Mills
several years ago, and struck a vein
of fine coal. Machinery was then Sc
cured and tunnel about 700 feet in
length run but in some way the com.
pany failed to strike the vein again.
Unable to meet the obligations it was
under to Scott, he brought a suit
against the company and this after
noon the machinery will be sold un-
der the hammer to the highest bid
der to satisfy the judgment.

Gates in the selection of a site for
the next convention Of the Interna-

President Lynch is said to favor
Cleveland, and the insurgents, "
numbering some 80 out of the 225

tion part of their campaign against
LynCh's reelection.
In today's session the opposition to
Lynch, in the hope of securing addi-

proved every proposition that seemed
to be @4h bad" with the regulars, and
vice versa, disapproved matters that
met with the approval of the organ
ization. The same tactics, 1t is said,
will be employed tomorrow.
Owing to the fact that this after
noon was to be devoted to social en-
tertainment in Oakland and Berkeley,
with a musical program in the Greek
theater and dinner at Idora Park, the
morning session did not tackle the
big problems on the program.

GOVERNOR SAYS FARMERS
SHOULD HOLD COTTON
Thinks They Should Be Able to Get
Good Price for II.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. Ex-Governor
Hoke Smith is a firm believer in the
idea that Georgia farmers should hold
their cotton until they can get what
they regard as a reasonable price for
1t. This morning Governor Smith con-
tributed $1O0 to the fund that is being
raised to back the hold cotton" move
ment by the Farmers Union. The Gov
ernor says that he is confident that the
crop this year will be a good one, but
that he is not disposed to believe the
reports that are in circulation regard
ing the bumper" crop. He further
says that the present prices on cotton
are being fixed in Liverpool upon the
supposition that the crop this season
is to be bumper one, and that this
estimate is not a correct one. 1t is the
desire of Governor Smith that Georgia
farmers should receive the full value
of their cotton, and that the present
price is too low by several cents.
John r. Mcdaniel treasurer of the
Farmers Union, called on Governor
Smith this morning to thank him for
his recent letter to Governor O'Neal, OF
Alabama, in which Governor Smith urg
ed the Alabama farmers not to sell
their cotton and to reflect upon the
Importance of cooperation. The gen
eral opinion at the state capitol is that
if the farmers of Georgia will hold
their cotton the state in general will
be greatly benefited thereby.

Clever Woman Doesn't Look

New York, Sept. 23.-For some
years, ever since present merchandise
ing methods became general, the aver
age woman has followed the modes
slavishly only the very modern woman
showing any originality. Now this
modern woman has become utterly
weary of fashion, as it was understood
in the old-fashioned sense of the word;
that it to say, one had to be prepared at
the dictate of Paris entirely to trans
form ones appearance at any moment.
Silhouette and hairdressing must be
carefully done to order on the ours

must be added, We paid extremely we'll
for the privilege.
And the result? The more exactly
that you resembled the orthodox fash
ion plate of the moment the more GER
tain of your reputation for being we'll
dressed; and it is not surprising that
with a certain amount of intelligence
and understanding of modern ar, as 4
necessity in present day feminine arm
or, women are finding the old-fashi IN
conditions not good enough.
We no longer pine to look like every
one else; We feel it is poor return for
the trouble Nature took in making cv-
eryone so separate in appearance and
personality; and as well-marked per-
sonality is sine qua non to social sue
cess now, SO strongly-marked indi-
viduality will be necessary in the near
future to the woman who cherishes the
laudable ambition to be counted We'll
dressed Coloring, contour, shape, ev-
cry characteristic, must guide in the
design and color scheme of the dress
and prettiness no longer satisfies US;
there must be that subtle something
which responds to the modern idea OF

MEMOIRS OF THE WAR OF Sc
CESSION. From the original manu-
script of Johnson HagOOd, Brigadier
General, C. S. A. The Columbia State
Publishing Company, Columbia, $. c.
Of general interest to many but Of
especial rich historic suggestion 20
those who took part in the Civil War,
or feel a desire to inform themselves
concerning this phase of its records, is
the present volume Of memoirs from
the pen of General Haygood, COM
mander of the famous HagOod's Brig
AIDE of the Confederate Army. The ap-
pearance of the volume now is eX-
planned by the fact that General Ha-
good had declined to permit the publ
cation of his memoirs until after his
death.
Though doubtless this delayed ap-
pearance is responsible for errors, the
volume is well worth while his
tOrically, as 1t relates with truthful
ness the stirring scenes in which the
First Regiment of South Carolina vol
unteers and Hagoods brigade partici-
pated. Hagood's Brigade was the gal
liant command that went through the
entire course of the war, after having
borne the brunt of many desperate
struggle.
The roster of the several regiments
that constituted Hagood's Brigade,
which forms one of the concluding fea-
lures of the volume, is of invaluable
character in the way of information
and historical record. There are ex-
tracts from the diary of Captain Storey
and other equally valuable miscellan-
eous matter to complete a volume that
will find a welcome place for itself.
