Napa Preparing for a Grand Cele

LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 6.— The
Statement that foreign vessels will be pro
hibited in the future from landing at
Santa Barbara is only correct so far as en
forcing the existence of the law is con
cerned. Santa Barbara is only a port of
delivery and not a port of entry. At the
office in this city of the Collector ot the
Port for Los Angeles District, the deputy
collector to-day said that hitherto it has
been the custom for Santa Barbara mer
chants having goods on a foreign vessel
to get permission from the Secretary of the
Treasury at Washington for the vessel to
land directly at Santa Barbara, without
having first called at a port of entry. This
privilege will not in future be granted, so
all foreign vessels will have to enter in the
regular way at San Pedro, or Port Los An
geles, the two ports of entry in this dis
trict.
After having done so and procured the
necessary permission, they can proceed on
their way to Santa Barbara and discharge
•ny cargo they may have for that place.
This question was raised over the trou
bles lately had with the steward and sail
ors of the British ship Duke of Argyle,
which was allowed to proceed to Santa
Barbara without first having called at a
port of entry. The affair was the cause of
bo much trouble to the Federal authorities
here and at Washington that it has been
decided to enforce the laws and oblige all
foreign vessels to first call at a port of
entry.
STOCKTOX'S KEW RAILROAD.
Business Mm. Surprised at the Magni

STOCKTON, Cal., June 6.— E. B. Pond,
John Treadwell and J. W. Coleman of the
Corral Hollow Coal Company, are here to
night to meet Stockton business men on
the proposition to run a railroad from the
mines to this city. The Supervisors, Coun
cilmen and a number of other officials and
business men visited the mines to-day and
were surprised at the magnitude of the
property. The company wants rights-of
way and land in town on which to erect
coal-bunkers. The people will do all the}'
can to secure the rpad.

A. 3IESDOTA. JUDGE'S LENIENCY.
It Will I'robnhhi Result in the Loss of Bis

FRESNO, Cal., June 6.— A peculiar case
Of judicial leniency was brought to the
notice of the Board of Supervisors to-day.
George C. Ashurst, a Justice of the Peace
at Mendota, a small settlement in the west
ern part of the county, presented to them
a bill for $118 as fees in thirty-eight cases
in which he had tried men charged with
vagrancy. In not one of the cases was a
conviction secured. The Supervisors be
lieve that it is an attempt on the part of
the township officers to make large fees
and the bill will probably not be allowed.
A. PORT AA'GEIsES SUICIDE.

Wednesday with a full list of tourists.
The outlook is for a very heavy travel this
summer, this being indicated by both pres

perhaps, is the fact that rates on steamers,
the Queen excepted, are lower than duriug
previous seasons. _

To-Day.

The Murderer of Len Harris
Says He Is Not Afraid

SELECTS HIS EXECUTIONER.
Histories of the Respective Crimes
Committed by the Con
demned.
SAN QUENTIN, Cal., June 6.— With
the setting of another sun the lives of
three men will have been sacrificed to
human justice and three more murderers
will have expiated their crimes upon the
scaffold. The last preparations for the
executions have been completed and the
order in which the condemned will mount
the gallows has been decided. The death
watch has long since been set, and the
men now occupy cells which they will

THE THREE MEN WHO WILL EXPIATE THEIR CRIMES ON THE
GALLOWS TO-DAY.
leave only to tread upon the latal trap and
to feel the hangman's noose fitted about
their necks. In spite of this, however,
they all bear up well, and though they say
they have given up all hope, their de
meanor is at times almost cheerful.
The men who will die to-morrow at the
law's behest are Patrick J. Collins, Emilio
Garcia and Anthony Azoff. So far as ap
pearances go they are very ordinary men,
and in not one is noticeable any partic
ularly vicious traits.
Of the three Azoff easily takes first place
in public interest. He is undersized, with
a slight though powerful frame, clear blue
eyes, dark hair and a brown mustache,
which to-day was waxed into two long
needle-like points. His courage in the
last extremity is undoubted, as to-day he
stood erect behind the bars, slapped his
strong chest and intimated that he was
not afraid. The terrible nervous strain
to which this waiting for death has sub
jected him is, however, discernable in his
face, but his nerves are like iron and the
hand with which he wrote his autograph
trembled not a bit.
He is under sentence of death for the
murder of Detective Leu Harris near Boul
der Creek more than a year ago. But he
stoutly maintains his innocence and will
doubtless reiterate with his last breath
upon the gallows the statement that he is
not guilty.
"I am not afraid to die," he said to a
knot of reporters to-night, but I did not
want to be hung. I was going to commit
suicide on the 23d of last month, but they
were too quick for me and brought me
here. I had a dagger with which I was
going to stab myself. I made it out of
wire. Where did I get the wire? Oh, that
was easy enough. If I was going to be in
prison for another year I would have a
whole blacksmith shop at the end of that
time. I had a drill, too, with which I
drilled holes through the sixteen-inch
walls of the old cell, so I could talk with
the other condemned men."
A member of the death watch approached
the cell at this juncture, and Azoff sang
out to him. When the guard came nearer
the condemned man introduced him as
one of his best friends, adding, "I am
going to get him to hang me to-morrow."
The remark was made with the utmost
nonchalance and without any attempt at
bravado, so far as could be seen, but its
impression on the bystanders and on the
guard was shocking and painful.
Azoff claims now to have given up all
hope of suicide and to be perfectly recon
ciled to death on the gallows. He spent
the afternoon in writing letters of farewell
and thanks to all who had befriended him,
including a long one to Belle Dormer of
the Call staff, in which he speaks at
length of his former intentions of suicide.
Azoff's body will be interred in Moun
tain View Cemetery, Oakland.
Lawyer Frank Stone has obtained the
granting of this last wish of the con
demned man, and a letter from the attor
ney containing this assurance is one of
Azoff's most cherished possessions. It
was received to-day, and reads as follows:
AT Home, June 5, 1895.
Mr. Anthony Azoff: I received your request,
as conveyed in your letter, this morning upon
my return from the country. I cannot comply
with your wish to be buried at sea, as I know
of no way of obtaining the necessary authority,
but of this rest assured, that failing in this par
ticular I have done the best I could under the
unfortunate circumstances. I have purchased
a lot for you in Mountain View Cemetery, Oak
land, and there your remains shall rest in ac
cord with your wishes. I have also communi
cated by telephone with the prison authorities,
and they will grant me the privilege of having
your remains interred in compliance with your
request. I can add little to what I said fo you
in my last letter, and your answer thereto was
what I expected.
You will die as a brave man should, without
fear, declaring your innocence. In the belief
that you did not fire the shot which killed
Harris; that you did not originate the scheme
by which the Southern Pacific Company was
enabled to become a party to what has been
decided to be a murder, and that others more
guilty than yourself do not stand even accused
of crime, I can but once more add — Gooa-by.
Fkank M. stone.
His execution is to be the first of the
three, and it will take place precisely at
9:30 o'clock.
His crime was the murder of a French
man near San Bernardino.
, Emilo Garcia, who occupies the cell ad*
joining that of Azoff, differs from his
fellow-murderer as much as can be im
agined. He spends his time seated cross
legged on the edge of his mattress. On the
floor beside him lies a pasteboard box con
taining tobacco and cigarette papers, and
he rolls and smokes the little brown cylin
ders with as much gusto as though the
land of the living were not to end for him
forever to-morrow.
He is a little man of the ordinary Mexi
can type, who, though he can speak very
good English, prefers the communion of
his thoughts. A word of his mother
tongue brings, however, an expression to
his face and a light to his eyes which quite
transforms him. Even then, aside from
the information that he does not care very
much and that time is very short, his only
comment is " 'Sta bueno" (it is all right).
He apparently has no fear and will, it is
thought, give the officers no trouble to
morrow.
Garcia has for a cellmate murderer
Fredericks, who, in accordance with his
insanity role, shouts aloud, paces his cell
and even butts his head against the bars.
He has torn up his blankets to make a
species of leggings, and altogether looks
very uncouth.
A line has however been drawn across
the center of the cell, and it has been
noticed that Fredericks, with all his ap
parent madness, never crosses intoGarcia's
territory. The keepers say that this is be
cause he thinks Garcia would kill him for
such an intrusion, and they add the opinion
that he is putting it all on.
Patrick Collins, the third of those to die
by the rope to-morrow, apparently has no
time for aught save his devotions. Bright
and early each day he tells his beads or
listens to the admonitions of Father Lagan
of San Rafael. The man who slew his
wife, the poor janitress of a San Francisco
kindergarten, has become very devou
within the last month. The suspense and
worry have told on him sadly, and now he
professes to prefer death itself to any fur
tner anticipations.
Last ninht there were five men in the
condemned cells, but two of them were
reprieved by the Governor, and have been
transferred to another part of the prison.
They are Freeman Smith and Rico Mo
rasco.
Smith is a very gay boy for a convict un
der sentence of death. Yesterday after
noon, before his reprieve came, he danced
a jig in his condemned cell and to-day,
when walking in the little prison garden,
which he had never expected to see again,
he remarked, referring to his new lease of
life, that he felt like a 16-year-old boy. The
guards at the prison call him SanQuentin's
Bob Ingersoll and declare that he believes
in neither God, man nor devil.
Morasco, on the contrary, is a weak
kneed Italian, who carries with him and
hugs to his breast continually a large cruci
fix wrapped in a towel.
When taken from the condemned cell
this morning he informed the oflicers that
Azoff was going to try to commit suicide
to-day. The statement caused considera
ble excitement and the guards in the death
chamber were doubled. To-night six offi
cers ostensibly guard the three mur
derers, but, as a matter of fact, their eyes
are particularly directed tow turd the last
resting place of the man who has sworn to
cheat the gallows.
NEEDS OF MARE ISLAND
An Additional Dock Has Now
Become Absolutely
Necessary.
Work of the Repairers Is Seriously
Handicapped Because of the
Lack of Room.
VALLEJO, Cal., June 6.— The force on
Mare Island is steadily increasing. Over
900 workmen are now on the payroll.
No date has been set for the departure
of the Olympia, although the belief exists
that it will leave before the end of the
week.
Cards have been sent out for an increase
in the gang of calkers working on the
Hartford. Mare Island officials in charge
desire to have the hull in good condition
in case it might be necessary to float the
vessel out by reason of urgent repairs to
some other ship.
The opinion is strongly expressed that it
is time consideration was given by Navy
Department officials to the very important
subject of an additional dock. One is ab
solutely necessary. This fact is amply
proven by the condition of affairs at pres
ent. Should it be necessary to dock the
Olympia or any other vessel work on the
Hartford must be suspended, the vessel
floated out and the other allowed entrance.
Important work is thus interrupted. By
the expenditure of a reasonable amount of
money a timber dock 700 feet long could
be constructed.
It is the desire to fit the dock with two
gates. This would give room in the upper
end of the dock at all times for any vessel
that needed considerable repairs. The
front part of the dock could always be
utilized, and in case of accident to the
stone dock could be relied on.

GOVERNOR STONE FOR SILVER.
Be Writes an Interesting Letter to the
Illinois Convention.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., . une 6.-The let
ter written by Governor Stone of Missouri
in answer to a letter written him by Gov
ernor Altgeld inviting him to attend the
silver convention was read at the Demo
cratic convention last night. Governor
Stone expressed regret at his inability to
be present, and added :
The struggle upon which you are entering is
to be the most momentous and important, in
volving more American people than any which
has occurred since the close ot our civil war.
The demand for the restoration of silver coin
age comes from the common people. The peo
ple who ask this boon are the industrial
masses of the country. Those who toil
in the field and shop constitute the
forces behind the movement. I do not
say that all who belong to that class
favor the free coinage of silver, but I do assert,
without fear of sincere or intelligent con
tradiction, that the demand for silver coinage
is supported by those who labor for a liveli
hood—who are personally engaged in some
field of industrial employment. It is the de
mand of the common people. I believe a large
majority of the American citizens are on that
side of the question. On the other hand
we find in gorgeous battle array the host
of plutocracy. Ido not say, for it is not true,
that every man who flashes his sword under
the standard of gold is a plutocrat, or that all
such are indifferent to the nonor or welfare of
the country. But Ido say that the aggregate
and concentrated wealth ctf the country— the
moneyed aristocracy — dominates, directs and
controls the forces arrayed against those who
are in the battle for bimetallism.
I do not believe that the abcendency of that
influence is calculated to promote the happi
ness of the people or the well being of the
country, for I have observed no evidence of re
form in the character and disposition of the
money changers since Christ scourged them
from the temple. But the power of
money is enormous. It exercises a stu
pendous influence. It is vigilant, alert,
resourceful and unscrupulous. It can
attract the bright and the most influential men
to its side. It can control the great metropoli
tan class, which is the most powerful, politi
cally, in the republic. It can dupe, contami
nate and debauch every source of power— the
people themselves. Money is king— a heart
less, sordid, brutish king.
The people reseat its suppressive and debas
ing rule, but subjugation is as probable as vic
tory. The opposition is compact, confident
and aggressive. There will be no division in
its ranks.
Every effort will be made to excite discord
and dissension among us. The reason will be
found in our midst and trusted leaders -will be
betrayed. Our greatest danger will be in the
lack of cohesion and co-operation. The battle
to be fought will be a struggle of giants, and
it involves more of weal or woe, present and
future, to the American people than any
struggle which they have engaged in for a
generation. In this tremendous combat it is
fortunate that the great State of Illinois, on
whose bosom sleep the ashes of Lincoln and
Douglas, two great champions of the common
people, shall take the lead. The note of cheer
your gallant Democracy will send forth will
stir tho hearts of our people with hope and
courage and the fervor of patriotism. You
deserve to be most heartily congratulated.

TEA CH ERS DISSATISFIED.
Three of Them Have Resigned and Other
Resignations Expected.
SAN JOSE, Cal., June 6.— Several
teachers at the Normal School have be
come dissatisfied with the actions of Pro
fessor Childs, and three of them have re
signed and several others have their resig
nations all ready to hand in, unless some
change is made in the management of the
school at the annual meeting of the board
of trustees. Miss Mary P. Adams, the
principal of the training department; Miss
Elizabeth Buckingham and Miss Lora
Scudamore, teacher of mathematics, have
handed in their resignations to the board,
to take effect June 28.
The teachers claim that since the ap
pointment of the new board by Governor
Budd, Professor Childs has made life un
bearable, and that there was no other way
out of it but to resign.
Principal Childs, when seen, said he had
heard of no resignations being tendered,
although he understood Mis 9 Scudamore
and Miss Buckingham were going to re
sign and start a private school at Stockton.
Several other teachers are dissatisfied
with the management and will resign at
the end of the year, among them Mrs. E.
P. Wilson, the teacher of methods.

The New Fee Bill to Be Tested In
Court as to Its Constitu
tionality.
SAN JOSE, Cal., June6.— A. McPherson
of St. Helena was before Judge Reynolds
this morning for contempt of court. Mc-
Pherson had written a letter to Judge Rey
nolds in which he commended the Judge
for giving a judgment in his favor in the
suit of McPherson vs. McElhany, and
referred to the defendant in the above suit
as a scoundrel. Attorney Burchard ap
peared with McPherson and pleaded that
McPherson was entirely innocent of any
intent of wrong doing. Judge Reynolds
said such letters might tend to influence the
court, and were highly improper, and,
after giving McPherson a lecture, lined
him flO and costs.

Why do tens of thousands of women
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.,
telling their most secret thoughts ?
Because they know that their letters
go straight to the hands of a woman, are
opened, read, and answered by a woman,
who as a woman has made woman's ills
a life study, and because she never fails
them, and cures cases which the doctor
cannot. v
The lady who asks that the following
letter be published, gives concisely the
uniform expression of gratitude con-
tained in thousands of other letters in
Mrs. Pinkhain's possession.
