FATAL SHOOTING
DURING QUARREL
DUE TO ACCIDENT
NO ONE BLAMED FOR DEATH
OF DAVID TODD
MOTHER AND SON SCUFFLING
WHEN SHOT IS FIRED
Coroner's Jury Listens to Testimony
in Regard to the Family
Trouble at De Turk
Ranch
"That Daniel Todd was killed by a
gunshot wound of the heart, OCCI* ntal
ly inflicted by a gun in the hands of
Edward Keys during an altercation
and scuffle between Mrs. J. G. De Turk,
Kdward Keys and the deceased." Such
was the verdict of the six men sum
moned by Coroner Hartwell to deter
mine the responsibility for the death
of Daniel Todd at the De Turk ranch
Tuesday evening. The inquest was held
at the Orr & Edwards morgue, Tenth
and Flower streets, yesterday after
noon.
In answer to questions by Coroner
Hartwell and Percy Hill, the officer
who arrested her son after the tragedy,
Mrs. De Turk, shaken by sobs, told
liow "Eddie," as she called him, had
come home about 6 o'clock, after beinij
away from home all day, and asked for
money to go up town, and his throats
to leave home for good on her refusal
to give it to him; how she had pleaded
■with him to stay at home with her, and
had said, "Eddie, if you arc going away
I'll kill you and kill myself. You are
all I have left, and I can't have you
mj away and leave me." Then, in an
ger, as he persisted, she slapped him
and struck him on the head witli a
pitchfork handle, and called to Todd to
help her.
Grapples with Boy
Joshua G. De Turk, the boy's step
father, said that lie was talking to
Todd when the boy and his mother
commencexl quarreling about some
money matters. They were scuffling
and she hit him over the head with a
Btick. They had come to within ten or
fifteen feet of where he and Todd were
standing, and as Todd rushed over and
grappled with the boy there was a
fchot fired. He could not say as to who
held the gun, nor whether Mrs. De
Turk had a hand on either of the two
men. De Turk said that Eddie was
gober at the time, and so far as he
could sec had not been drinking 1, and
that he had seen him intoxicated only
once or twice. Although he knew noth
ing about the boy's companions, De
Turk said that in the frequent quarrels
between the two the mother upbraided
the son for wasting his time and
money on the society of lewd women.
The boy had expressed his grief at the
death of Todd, but. made no statement
regarding the shooting.
Todd, who was between 45 and SO
years old, had been a friend of the fam
ily for five or six years, and had been
employed as night watchman by Mrs.
De Turk for the last month or two.
No effort was made to throw lvght on
the threatening letters received by Mr*.
De Turk, although Hill, the arresting
officer, asked the witnesses many ques
tions regarding the possession of the
gun at the time the shot was fired and
the cause of the quarrels between Keys
and his mother.
Several months ago an older brother
of Eddie Keys was arrested in San
Francisco and brought back here,
.JiarEjed with taking $700 of his mother's
■money. After his return and the re
covery of the money from the women
■with whom he went away, his mother
refused to prosecute him, and the case
was dropped.
TO RAISE IRRIGATION MONEY
BY BONDS, NOT CERTIFICATES
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—The propo
sition that bonds instead of certificates
of indebtedness be issued to raise mon
ey for the completion of irrigation proj
ects, and that the amount be increased
from $30,000,000 to $50,000,000, will re
ceive consideration at a special meeting
of the senate irrigation committee to
morrow.
The measure providing for the issu
ance of certificates of indebtedness has
been attacked on the ground that the
issue proposed would not be as market
able as bonds, and that the amount
should be sufficient to complete all the
projects already began, DiSßatlefac
tion with the measure became wide
spread. <vi.l its defeat was threatened
when it >\:is l;iid aside 6 few day! ago.

Speaker Declares Banishment of Cas.

Thing to Everything

[Associated Press)
BOSTON, Feb. —"It was certainly
to the advantage of everything and
everybody that Castro was deposed
and exiled from Venezuela and equally
advantageous that Zelaya was deposed
and exiled from Nicaragua," said
Charles E. Magoon in a speech before
the Commercial club of Boston to
night. "No more salutory lesson
could be given men occupying official
stations in the turbulent Central
American republics and a great step
in advance will be taken when a re
alization is forced upon them that
there exists a power thai will hold
them individually responsible for re
sults of official misdemeanors and
maladministration.
"Of course this authority must be
exercised only as a last resort and not
until it has been demonstrated that
the people whose duty it is to correct
the evil are unable to apply the prop
er remedies. But when that deplorable
condition Is found it is the right and
duty of the United States to deal with
the offending individual in such man
ner as the high interests at stake
may require and the circumstances
warranted."

RELIGION AND BARS
AS CURES FOR CRIME
JUDGE WILLIS CONSIDERS
BOTH IN FORGERY CASE
Decides Not to Take Chances with Ed.
ward L. Hill, but Will Be
Allowed to Take
Treatment
Religion, the deterrent effect of a
short term in the county jail on ten
dencies to do wrong and the benefit
to be derived from medical treatment
to overcome an appetite for intoxicants
were all considered by Judge Willis In
the criminal court yesterday when Ed
ward L. Hill appeared for sentence
after pleading guilty several days ago
to a charge of passing a fictitious
check.
Hill acknowledged he had passed a
bad check for $25 in December, 1909,
and said his offense was committed
while he was under the influence of
liquor. Similar acts, he added, had
been committed when he was in that
condition several months before.
"He has tried religion in his efforts
to overcome that appetite," said M. V.
Hartranft, formerly Hill's business as
soi late. "The effect was not lasting, I
but I think his experience in the county j
Jail has been sufficient to deter him
from overindulging in the future."
Judge Willis said he would not de
pend entirely on religion or the mem
ory of prison bars, and continued the |
case until Monday. In the meanwhile"
Hill will be released from the county
jail an hour each day for the purpose
of taking medical treatment. If a com
plete cure is reported when he again
appear! in court it is possible the ap
pllcatlon for probation will be granted.
This is the third occasion when Judge
Willis has ordered prospective proba
tioners to take the liquor cure before
they are permitted to leave the county
Jail. Good results, he says, followed
the treatment in the other cases.
SENATE TO PROBE
INTO THIRD DEGREE
Solons Stirred to Action by Inhuman.
ity Shown Man Acused of
Murder in Atlantic
City, N. J.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—1f a reso
lution introduced today by Senator
Heyburn is adopted, the senate will
take up the matter of what is known
among police officials as the "third de
gree." The resolution provides for the
appointment of a select committee of
three to investigate "the practice of
administering what is known as the
'third degree' ordeal by officers of the
law for the purpose of extorting state
ments and confessions from those
charged with crime."
Mr. Heyburn said he had read an
article in a Washington paper giving
an account of the methods said to
have been resorted to by the Atlantic
City police to obtain a confession from
William Seyler, charged with the mur
der of Jane Adams. He asserted that
such methods were more cruel than
those of the Inquisition. They were
not only barbarous, he said, but in di
rect conflict with American institu
tions under which an cnicer is prohib
lti-il from talking with his prisoner on
the subject of the charge against him.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on Judiciary.

RATE DECISION TO
HAVE DIRE RESULTS
Counsel in 'Forwarding Agency Case'
Differs, but in Either View
They Are Pessim.
istic
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Whatever
way the supreme court decides the
CSSc up lvi" iti guii'iOiit befuit: il tOuiiy,
involving the right of ""forwarding
agencies" to carload rates on Inter
state shipments of freight owned by
Individual shippers, dire results will
follow, if all that the counsel in the
throe-cornered fight say is true,
"We submit that the all-important
provisions of the act to regulate com
merce will be seriously impaired if
forwarding agencies are permitted to
Intervene and control the less-than
carload portion of the railroad trans
portation."
"It is economically expedient from
the public standpoint to develop a
class of intercepting carriers in this
country."
The two statements quoted were
those that counsel for the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western railroad, the
Wabash railroad, the New York, Chi
cago & St. Louis railroad and the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad went into court
to substantiate.
"To say that they (Interstate rail
roads), as public servants, may create
conditions which make the business of
assembling goods in carload lots very
profitable and then restrict to them
selves and those they see fit to favor
the right to participate in profits thus
obtained Is equivalent to saying they
may take advantage of their own
wrong."
That is the way Wade H. Ellis,
assistant to the attorney general, views
the attempt of the railroads north of
the Ohio river and east of the Mis
sissippi to deny carload rates to for
warding agencies. Mr. Ellis is par
ticipating in the case in defense of the
order issued by the interstate com
merce commission in favor of the
forwarding agencies.
"The result of prohibiting tho opera
tion of the forwarding companies will
be to eliminate the trade between the
Pacific coast consumer and the middle
western manufacturer."
Such Is one prediction which counsel
for the American Forwarding company.
Transcontinental Freight company
and Roekford Manufacturers and Ship
pers' association are making.
The decision of the court is not ex
pected for some time.
WANTS EARTHQUAKE TITLE
LAW PASSED UPON FINALLY
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—An effort
is to be made this spring to have the
supreme court pass upon the validity
of the California statute of 1906 pro
viding tor the establishment and quiet
ing of title to real property in case of
the loss or destruction of public rec
ords.
The circuit court of appeals of the
Ninth circuit some time ago asked the
supreme court to answer the question
as to whether this law violate! the!
fourteenth amendment to the constitu
tion.
Attorneys for the American Land
company, a party to the suit in the
lower court, have notified the supreme
court that on March L'L they will ask
the court to advance the case involving'
this question lor an early hearing. In
event this request is refused the at
torneys will ask that the case be dis
missed.
INTEREST ON MORTGAGE TO BE
TAKEN FROM GROSS INCOME
WASHINGTON, F.>b. 24.—Attorney
Qeneral Wic kcrsham has rendered an
opinion regarding reductions from net
income returns under the corporation
law based on questions submitted
through the "allied real estate interests
of the city of New York."
He holds that where a realty corpora
tion takes title to real property subject
to a mortgage, but does not assume the
indebtedness secured thereby, such
mortgage is In no sense Its indebted
ness, and the interest paid thereon by
the corporation to retain title would be
deductable from the gross income in
making returns under the law show
ing the net income.
The attorney general also says that
If any of the cases suggested by theso
Interests the Indebtedness secured by
mortgage on the properties acquln d
■hall have been aMOmad by them and
has thereby become their indebtedness,
Interest thereon can be deducted only
to an amount not exceeding the In
terest on the paid-up capital stock of
the corporation.
RAILROADS REFUSE
MEN; VOTE ON STRIKE
Unanimous Action to Be Taken by
Conductors and Trainmen in
East and South.
Crisis Near
CLEVpn,AND, 0., Feb. 24.—Replies
of southern railways to wage demands
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men and the Order of Railroad Con
ductors were opened today. The re
fusal of the roads to meet the men's
terms was unanimous.
This places the southern railroad sit
uation in practically the same status as
that in the north on the Chesapeake &
Ohio and east of the Mississippi. It Is
now certain that any action taken by
the men to enforce their demands will
be simultaneous in the east and south.
If the decision is to call a strike, as
it is said to be, the executive councils
of tlie two organizations, which will
meet here later, are expected to submit
to the men on all railroads the question
ft' a general strike.
PRESIDENT TAFT ORDERS
MAIL CARS BE PROTECTED
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—Acting un
der directions from the president, At-
torney General Wlckersham sent
United States District Attorney
Thompson, at Philadelphia, instruc
tions us tn tho protection of mail
agencies in the strike.
The instructions specifically point
out that there is to be no interference
with the rights of employes, nor of the
companies! as long as the substantial
rights of the government are not im
paired "by either party."
President Taft today received tele
grams from Peter Driscoll, president,
and H. D. Barron, secretary, of the
union at Philadelphia, slating the
union men on strike hnd offered their
services for the operation of the mail
and newspaper cars, as was done in
last year's strike, and that the com
pany had refused the offer.
Postmaster General Hitchcock called
at the White House and was ac
quainted by the president with what
the attorney general had done.
Mr. Hitchcock said he had no official
advice that the movement of the mail
had been impeded. The governments
only interest, he said, was that the
contract for handling the mails ex
peditiously and safely be faithfully pvr
formed. This the government will in
sist upon at all times.
INVESTIGATE BUTTE SITUATION
BVTTE, Mont., Feb. 24.—Matt Oom
erford of Brooklyn, general president
of the International Engineers' union,
the local members of which went on
strike last week, is here today inquir
ing into the local situation. Other
mines which closed because of the
walkout, notably the High Ore, re
sumed operations today. The Amalga
mated concerns are sending 7500 tons
of ore to the smelters at Anaconda
mid Great Falls and the majority of
independent companies also are oper
ating.
WAITERS TAKE ACTION
SAN FRANCISCO, Fob. 24.—8y a
unanimous vote last night the waiters'
union adopted a resolution prohibiting
its members wearing the working but
ton In houses where Orientals are em
ployed. This action was taken in com
pliance with the recent order of the
labor council. Secretary Beck of tin 1
waiters' union said today that if the
council would finance a general boy
cott against restaurants and cafes em
ploying Orientals the union would call
out its 500 men now working with
these people.
DEMAND WAGE INCREASE
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—Demands for
increased pay have been presented by
the engineers, firemen and telegraphers
of the Delaware and Hudson company.
Th demands, it was learned today,
range from 5 to 70 per cent, but the
average increase approximates 20 per
cent.

Illinois mines.
GOLETA ROAD DIVISION
BONDS TO BE TESTED
First Step Taken in Santa Barbara in
Regard to Important Im.
provement Issue
SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 24.—The |
first step was taken today In what
promise! to be a drawn out affair—the
testing uf the validity of an amended
section of the political code which em
powers organized road districts to vote
bunds for the improvement of high
ways—when Milo M. Potter, president
of the Potter Hotel company, made |
the lone bid for two of the Qoleta :
road division bonds at par value and at
premium of $100, amounting to $JIOO.
When the bonds were first adver
tised three of the local banks —the Com
mercial, the County National and the
First National—bought the entire num
ber, 100.
These institutions then stated, by the
advice of their attorneys, that they re
fused the bonds until a supreme court
decision on the validity of the law
under which they were granted had
been handed down.
The Goleta committee in charge of
the work, however, went before the
county board of supervisors and asked
that the sale be set aside and the bonds
be readvertised. This was done so that
the Goleta people would have the
benefits, if there were any, of an In
creased valuation in the bonds while
the testing of the law was being car- f
lied on.
The board granted the request and
yesterday the second bid was opened.
Just what proceeduro will be taken
to get the matter Into the courts would
not be given out by G. H. Gould, at
torney for the Goleta committee, but
It is expected that some action will
be taken within a few days, and it is
hoped that the case will appear in the
March calendar of the superior court.
