The Senator says the Coventor will ap point the samo trustees for al 1 tho insti tutions in the htate its vacancies occur if the Seymour bill does not pass.

The at torneys for the Continental company stilted that they would show that a boy cott had been organized nguinst the Conti nental and other companies which have not joined tho combine, and that such a boycott was against the laws of this state. Affidavits were produced from insurance agents at different points on the coast to show that the rules of the combine had forced them to quit doing business with the Continental. They also introduced copies of circulars WhiQQ were sent out on February Ist, warning these agents that if they did not give up their business for the Continental and other companies of the combine, they would lose the agencies of the union companies.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MARCH 6, 1895. COUNTED OUT THOUSANDS New Developments in the Big Check Raising Scheme MANY BANKS SUFFER LOSS The Work Was Done With Ink Killing Acid The Union Pacific Treasurer Talks of the Matter-Flawless Work Done by the Forgers Omaha, Neb., March s.—Startling dev elopments have been brought to light in the Union Pacific check raising swindle today which are* calculuted to alarm all corporations -paying in checks. The dis covery was made that the gang which operated on the Union Pacific system has a method of erasing ink with on acid which defies the best made paper, which is guaranteed to show the slightest pres ence of acid or other foreign substance. The amount secured by the work of the gang is not yet known, but it is not as large as first supposed. The fact is not regurded as of much importance, how ever, as compared with the new process which is puzzling the company's chemists and detectives. The paper on which the checks are printed have been regarded, until now, as being absolutely proof against manipula tion, but the operations of tbe gang of experts shattered all claims of the inven tors of the paper thut their invention is acid proof. The checks which were raised faileji to show a single erasure murk and the amount of the check in figures in the right hand corner, as well as the written amount in the body of tbe check were wiped out as completely us if cloth had been used in removing dust from v tabic top. Not content with removing tho fig ures, in one instance the name of the employee wus removed and a new name substituted, showing they had mastered the secret completely. Frank Brown, local treasurer o. the Union Pacific 0 m any, stated thai lie hud never seen check- so flawlessly tittered us in the Denver case. They had passed hrough his hands, >ut a powerful gluss bad failed to show the least mani te tation, and f lie bud not known the checks were vised ho would have sworn that they were . riginully as made. It* wus his opinion thut no alt red checks "ould turn up, on tho theory thut the men hail b en able to c c nup qu te a sum and w. v d leav for other fields to prosecute their s lity. What is to b done is the question vhich is perplexing the minds of the official at' the Union Pac tic headquarters toda . I hey argue that the puncturing of the amount of a check on its face, by a ma chine invented for the purpose, an be filled out with papier ma he, pai ted over and a new puncture made for a niffer nt amount; that chemically prepared papers are of no avail with the di covery of acids that will wi c out the mcst reliable ink as casi y a> dirt may be displa ed with v. ater. Denver, Colo., March 5.— W. T. Canna, chief of the Union Pacific Railway uetect ives. is making investigation of the check vising frauds along that line last month. Mr. Canno says the parties who raised the checks made only a few hundred dollars, but he has no doubt that if their opera tions had not been discovered they would have renewed the attempt next month. TWO BOTTLES OF WHISKY A Shoemaker Near Bakerstield Drinks Them and Dies Bakersfield, Murch 5.—-A shoemaker named Kleinfelter died at Kernville, a hamlet in the mountains some sixty miles east of this place, and the fact has just been learned that his death resulted from drinking two bottles of whisky in rapid succession. He had been on a spree and was ; n a stupor, wdien one of the loungers proposed to nave some fun with the drunk en man. They bought a bottle of whisky and pouring out a glassful ut a time, gave it to Kleinfelter, who drank it eagerly. When the first oottle was empty they bought another, and this too was given to Kleinfelter, the entire amount being swal lowed in about half an hour. When it was finished Kleinfelter staggered to a chair, fell into it, und almost at once dropped apparently into a deep slumber. A snort time afterward an effort was made to rouse him, but it was found that he was dead. The Grand Jury will investi gate the matter antl see if someone can not be punished for the affair. THE LICK ESTATE Board of Trustees Will Ask the Probate Court for. a Release San Francisco, March s.—Within a few weeks the board of trustees who have managed the Lick estate since the de cease of the pioneer will aak the Superior Court to approve their accounts and dis charge them from further duty. The board has handled millions of dollars left by the pioneer, and now that all bequests have been settled they wish to be ab solved from further duty. James Lick left almost all his money for educational Eurposes, the Lick Observatory nnd the ,ick School of Mechanical Arts being the two most important bequests. When James Lick's son was compro mised with for 1535,000, in 1878, the trus tees estimated that the estate would fail to carry out all the legacies by 1500,000. Accumulated interest and increase of values during so many years has provided money for every bequest ami left a surplus of over $1,000,000. THREATENING LETTERS Mayor Sntro, of Lan Francisco, Is Receiving Letters From Cranks. San Francisco, March s.—Mayor Sutro is receiving numerous threatening letters from cranks whose advioe about political affairs he refuses to follow, ana from dis appointed politicians who have not at tained coveted offices.
