Camp Roache School
Approved by the
Grange.
WILL BE HELD YEARLY.
Action Taken by Delegates on
Questions Affecting the
Farmer.
KIND WORDS FOR "THE CALL."
Strongly Indorsed In Resolutions
for Its Work In Aid of
the Order.
MERCED, Cat.., Oct. 4.— At the session
of the Btate Grange this morning, Mrs. E.
'/.. Roache declined the office of lecturer, to
which she was chosen yesterday, and
George Ohleyer of Yuba City was elected
in her place.
The grange instructed the secretary to
request of the American Protective League
written answers to the following ques
tions: Is the present protective tariff just
to producers of agricultural staples of
which there is a surplus for export?
Will a bounty on exports of agricultural
staples be unjust so long as the protective
tariff is maintained?
The grange resolved in favor of the ex
clusion of all undesirable and non
assimiiative immigrants from whatever
country they may offer to come.
It was resolved to appropriate funds to
pay the necessary expenses of the Legisla
tive committee while engaged during in
session of the Legislature in promoting the
passage of bills approved by the grange.
The action of tne master and executive
committee in authorizing the establish
ment of the summer school at Camp
Roache, under the management of High
land Grange, was approved, and the school
was formally recognized as State Grange
School.
It was decided that the control of its
educational features should remain with
a committee of the State Grange, but that
the title to all property acquired by it
should be invested in Highland Grange to
be applied only to the uses of the school
and camp. Provision was made for the
general control by the State Grange of this
and other schools which may be estab
li.-hed in the name of the order.
Among the requirements for the govern
ment of such bciiools were the provisions
that they should never incur debt; that
the instructors should be only those con
nected with universities of the first rank;
that the freest discussion should be en
couraged, but that no formal expression of
opinion by vote should be permitted. A
standing committee of the granse will be
appointed to direct the educational work
of the school.
The place of meeting of the next State
Grange was fixed at Sacramento.
The following resolution was unani
mously adopted:
Rfsohtd, That the thanks of this grange are
due to the San Francisco Call for devoting so
much of its space to the discussion of agricul
tural aud grange matters, and especially for
••■rj.rise in publishing its admirable his
tory of the grange lor the information of
young members and non-members of our
order.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this grange
Thf. (all history will be of great use to granges
and deputies, increasing the membership of
the order, aud the executive committee is re
quested to communicate with The Call and
ascertain upon what terms extra- copies of the
history can be procured for use as a grange
document, with authority to procure the same.
The Grange resolved in favor of rural
mail delivery. In regard to transporta
tion the Grange declared it to be the con
tention of farmers that reasonable rates on
freights and fares are such as will pay
reasonable interest upon the current value
of the property, estimated by cost of re
producing the same, with additional al
lowance to gradually repay the principal ;
that losses by bad management or im
proper transaction of officers should be
borne by the stock or bondholders and not
by the public.
The Railroad Commission was called
upon to estimate and record the value of
the railroad properties of the State upon
the above basis, and establish freights and
fares in accordance therewith. Califor
nia's representatives in Congress were
urged to use all their influence to Eecure
the adoption of the same principle in the
regulation of interstate commerce. Im
provement of harbors and waterways was
demanded, with protection of the navigable
steams and adjoining lands from injury
from mining debris.
The construction of the Nicaragua canal
by the Nation was favored, as well as lib
eral expenditure on country roads when
ever the ability and character of the of
ficials promised wise and honest use of
fund?.
A great feast of Pomona and Flora, pre
pared by the citizens of Merced, was en
joyed by the grange this evening. The
newly elected officers are to be installed to
morrow.
RULED AGAINST COLGAN
The Controller's Demurrer in
the Lewis Case Overruled
by the Court.
First Victory for the Board of Exam
iners In the Legal Strife
at the Capital.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Oct. 4.— The case
of T. A. Lewis vs. A. P. Colgan, State
Controller, was argued on a demurrer be
fore Judge Catlin in the Superior Court
this morning, Senator Carpenter repre
senting Lewis and Devlin & Barham ap
pealing in Colgau's interest.
Lewis is the expert appointed by the
Board of Examiners to inquire into
the methods governing the various
State institutions. When he pre
sented his salary claim for the
manth of July in the sum of $166 66
Controller Colgan refused to issue a war
rant for the amount on the ground that
there was nothing in the statutes pertain
ing to the appointment of such an official.
and that the bill intended to create the
office was killed in its passage through the
lions. 1 .
Alter listening to t!i2 arguments the de
murrer was overruled on the ground that
the general appropriations act provided
for the orlice, and Colfran was granted ton
days in which to file an answer. Tlie
court's action was in accordant with an
opinion of Attorney-General Fitzgerald,
rendered at the request of Controller Col
gan some time ago.
MOJiRISOy WANTS DAMAGES.
Suit to Be Brought Against Foreman ~La
Hue of the it rand Jury.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Oct. 4.—Chair
man Morrison of the Board of Supervisors
has given instructions to his attorneys to
commence a suit for damages against Hugh
M. La Rue, foreman of the Grand Jury,
and also declares it as his intention to
brine individual suit against every mem
ber of the body.
In speaking on the subject Mr. Morrison
said :
"Now that all these indictments and
accusations have been thrown out of court
1 will state that when I was summoned to
appear before the Grand Jury 1 informed it
that I never voted to pay any claims for
extra deputies nor had I been instrumental
in procuring their appointment.
'■On the contrary, I advised the mem
bers of the board to refer the matter to the
State Board of Equalization and let it de
cide as to the necessity of appointing
extra deputies. These facts were plainly
stated by me before the Grand Jury, and
could have been easily proved by referring
to the records of the Board of Supervisors.
"Yet, despite the fact that it could
easily be proven that I was entirely inno
cent." and that there was not the slightest
grounds upon which to base any accusa
tion against me, the members of the
Grand Jury saw fit to blacken mv charac
ter, and I propose to ascertain if there is
any redress for being vilified and perse
cuted in this way without giving just
cause."
M'ENERyET IS ERROR.
Investigation Shou-s that Senate Bill 721
Was Legally I'assed.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Oct. 4.— The
statement made by Attorney McEnerney
in the Fair will case yesterday morning, in
which he claimed that that the contest
ants for the Lick property had
nothing to base their suit upon, as
Senate bill 721, entitled "An act to
amend section 738 of the Code of Civil
Procedure relating to actions to determine
adverse claims to property" hud not legally
passed the Senate, as it received less
than twenty votes, created a small breeze
in executive circles to-day and the Gover
nor forwarded instructions that the mat
ter be inquired into thoroughly, and that
the truth or falsity of the assertion be
proved beyond a doubt
Reference being made to the journal of
tbe Senate, it was found that the bill came
before that body for the last time on the
sth of March, 1895. It was read for the
third time, and passed by vote of 27 ayes,
and with no opposing vote. It then took
the regular course.
After its passage had been attested to by
the president pro tern, and secretary of the
Senate and the Speaker and clerk of the
House, it was transmitted to the Governor,
signed by him, and then transmuted to
the .Secretary of State, receipted for, and
rent to the State Printer, who included it
in the statutes.
Senate bill 721 was legally passed, as at
tested to by the Senate Journal of March,
and all the other formalities were strictly
adherea to, as it bears on its face the
piirnitures of Thomas Flint Jr., Presi
dent pro tern, of the Senate; J. 0. Lynch,
Speaker of the Assembly; P.J.Brandon,
Secretary of the Senate; and S. .1. Duck
worth, Chief Clerk of the Assembly. On
the 16th of March it was receipted for by
E. L. Colnon, the Governor's private sec
retary, and on March 26 received the
executive's signature, which added it to
the legal statutes of the State.

Reported Supfiahi of Jerome B. Stan
ford and Miss Douglass.
PETAIXMA, Cal., Oct. 4.— Local papers
announce that a marriage license was
issued to Jerome B. Stanford, nephew of
the late Senator, and Miss Cora Douglass
of Glen Ellen, and that the wedding sub
sequently took place. The bride is the
dauehter of the San Francisco sailmaker.
The divorce case of Mrs. Florence Run
yon Stanford against Jerome B. Stanford
is still fresh in the minds of the public.
Mrs. Stanford asked that the bonds
of matrimony be severed on the
ground of desertion, her husband having
left her in November, 1893, and refused
ever since to live with or associate with
her. She set forth that her husband was
a merchant, that the will of the late Le
land Stanford bequeathed to him the sum
of $100,000, and that he was in receipt of
an income of $400 a month. She asked
that an absolute divorce be granted, and
such provision made for her support as
the court might deem proper.
Judge Troutt, before whom the case was
tried, granted the decree, allowing her the
sum of $5000, the custody of their minor
child, $125 a month alimony and all real
and personal property.

NEWS OF THE COAST.
California Bankers in
Annual Session at
Fresno.
FINANCE THEIR THEME.
Able Papers Read by Messrs.
Wright, Beckman and
Magee.
FAVOR THE GOLD STANDARD.
Tenor of the Discussion Shows
Opposition to Extensive Use
of Silver.
FRESNO, Cal., Oct. 4.— The delegates
to the fourth annual convention of the
California Bankers' Association convened
in Einstein Hail in this city this morning
at 10 o'clock. The ball was profusely
decorated with pots of troDical shrubs and
plants, and large bouquets of La France
roses were placed on the president's and
secretary's desks.
President Lovell White called the asso
ciation to order and introduced Dr. Ches
ter Rowell, president of the People's Sav
ings Bank of Fresno, who delivered the
address of welcome. A. H. R. Schmidt,
cashier of the German Savings and Loan
Society of San Francisco, made a fitting
response.
The address of President Lovell White,
following Mr. Schmidt's response, was a
happy one. He said :
"This association is about to commence
its fourth annual convention for mutual
benefit, not only from a business stand
point but also from a social ; business,
for the reason that even those trained to
reason from facts are benefited by an ex
change of opinions gathered in other parts
of the country, and social, for it is a well
known fact that logical arguments have
greater influence and force when accom-
panied by a warm handshake, and that
liandshake we have already received."
President Lovell White made an inter
esting address, reviewing the history of
the past year from a financial point of
view in this State, alluding to a circular
from the Chamber of Commerce of New
York sent out a year ago relative to the
payment of depositors in depreciated cur
rency in case the free coinage of silver
should become the law of the land, and
reciting the answer that was sent back by
the banks of San Francisco and Oakland.
The answer was to the effect that settle
ment with debtors would be made on the
basis of gold coin, and that depositors in
the banks could safely reiy on receiving
payment in the same kind of money de
posited, namely: gold coin. The presi
dent advised that the convention declare
the allegiance of the California Bankers'
Association to the specific-contract law of
the State, both in letter and spirit.
An exhaustive paper on the "Various
Kinds of Money of the World," by Benja
min C. Wright, financial editor of the San
Francisco Bulletin, was read. Our present
currency situation was ably handled by
Mr. Wright, and he showed himself in
touch with the leading financiers of the
day.
This was followed by an able paper from
William Beckman of the People's Savings
Bank of Sacramento on the relation of the
bank to deDositors and borrowers. Mr.
Beckman's address was not long, but it
was a good one, and he was roundly ap
plauded at its close.
The next paper was read by the Hon. H.
W. Magee, State Bank Commissioner. It
was entitled 'Why Banks Fail."
He gave as the principal reasons for the
failure of banks incompetcncy, lack of ed
ucation, speculating with banks' funds
and directors failing to perform their duty.
His paper was well received. The senti
ment of the papers read was almost unani
mously in favor of the gold standard.

A GREATER LOS ANGELES.
A Majority of Highland Park
Voters Decides in Favor
of Annexation.
Other Suburbs Kept Out Through
the Refusal to Hold a Union
Election.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Oct. 4.-Highland
Park is now a part of Los Angeles City,
the voters have decided for annexation
to-day by a majority of 19 in the annexed
district and 195 in the city.
When the petition for the annexation of
University, Vernon, Rosedal* and Pico
Heights was completed Chairman of the
Highland Park Executive Committee H.
Park endeavored to have Highland Park
come in on the same election, offering to
pay all the expense of reprinting the peti
tions and such other incidental expense as
the change would entail.
Thiß offer was refused by J. T. Neville,
chairman of the university committee,
who considered that Highland Park being
less desirable than University, which is a
handsome residence place, could not carry
the election and would interfere with his
district coming in. Consequently two
elections were ordered.
Had Chairman Neville acquiesced all of
the districts would have been annexed, as
the majority of to-day would have offset
the seventeen votes lacking yesterday, and
the election would have been carried by
two votes.
CONFESSED TO A BURGLARY.
Three Professional Cracksmen Held to
the Superior Court.
LOS ANGELES, Cat,., Oct. 4.— Joseph
Davis, Frank Moss and Harry Williams
this morning confessed that on September
18, about 8 o'clock in the evening, they
robbed the house of A. Rueff, at 339 Crocker
street.
They said they went to the back door of
the house, pushed the key out with a pair
of nippers and opened the door with a
skeleton key. They walked in, went up
stairs to the bedroom and secured a gold
watch, chain and locket, a filled watch, a
silver watch, rings, breastpins, bracelets
and jewelry of all kinds. This they for
warded to Edward Lang in San Francisco
a-.id he sold it, returning the proceeds to
them by registered letter.
All of the confessed burglars made a plea
for Lang, who they said was innocent cf
any wrongdoing, as he did not know
where the jewelry came from, but sup
posed it was all right. They said he was
married, had two children, but they had
no desire to see an innocent man punished.
Nevertheless Judge Morrison held all four
to answer, placing bail at $2000. They are
all professional crooks.

This Move.
SEATTLE, Waph.. Oct. 4.— The Oregon
Improvement Company, an extensive
owner and operator of mines, railroads and
steamboat lines, is in the hands of a re
ceiver.
This afternoon Judire Hanford, of the
United States District Court, named C. J.
Smith for the important post, upon ap

The receiver gave bonds in the sum of
$100,000. his sureties being H. C. Henry, N.

Cator and Irish Debate
on Finance at San
Diego.
MR. CLEVELAND FLAYED.
The Silver Champion Scores
the President for His
Policy.
LEAGUED WITH THE BANKERS.
H© Declares That Both of the Great
Parties Are Dominated by
Bondholders.
BAN DIEGO, Cai,., Oct. 4.— A large
crowd gathered on the Plaza to-night to
hear the debate between Colonel John P.
Irish and Thomas V. Cator on the money
question. Congressman Bowers presided.
Colonel Irish led, taking the gold side,
and from the first had to fight an audience
antagonistic to him. He held its atten
tion, however, and made a strong presen
tation of his case. He said if it had been
advertised that the debate would be on the
question of two standards nobody would
have come, and that if two yardsticks
were to be discussed the crowd would have
said that the man who held for one stick
unchangeable in length was right, as a
matter of course.
He held that one standard of value, non
variable ana non-fluctuating, was the only
possible standard, and he stood for that
which by natural selection was chosen by
dealers of value in all countries.
The crowd was overwhelmingly in favor
of Cator's cause, and greeted him with
deafening applause when he arose to an
swer Colonel Irish. He began by saying
that he had profound respect for a man
who would stand up in California and say
his party was in favor of a gold standard.
In fact, he had respect for any man who
did not stand with his feet In one party,
his hand in another and his nose in the
third, trying to get office from all.
"The Democratic party." he gaid, "is
dominated by domestic and foreign bond
holders and a gold ring, and Cleveland is
for gold because his party is dominated
by the gold power."
Each party, Democratic or Republican,
he held to be consolidated with the gold
power to form a gigantic trust against the
producers of the country. He said nis
party demanded relief of the ground of the
law that, all things being equal, the vol
ume of currency determined prosperity,
and that shrinkage of the circulating
medium was invariably followed by panic
and poverty.
He quoted Jefferson where that states
man concurred with Alexander Hamilton
that the country must maintain a stand
ard of both gold and silver.
"When my friends appeal to the labor
ing man to sustain his argument for gold,"
he said, "he must think the Rothschilds
and the bondholders of Europe lie awake
nizhts in a terrific philanthropic desire to
aid the American workingman."
Cator's argument was that an increased
volume of currency would bring higher
prices, banish debts, increase business, put
business on a money instead of a credit
basis, furnish employment and prevent
failures.
He held that the volume of money had
been contracted by the goldb'igs 'or the
purpose of putting producers into a posi
tion where big interest could be collected
on credits and bonds. He cited eleven
English banks doing a business ten times
larger than the actual cash on hand and
five New York banks with 3 cents on the
dollar of actual cash. This he called in
flation of the wrong kind and putting
power into the hands of the bondholders.
He declared that matters had reached a
stage where mother earth could not t>ro
duce enough to pay interest on the enor
mous amount of inflated credits, and that
the producers were on the point of be
coming bondsmen, slaving to pay usury to
foreigners.
When Irish arose to reply he was scoffed.
He told the crowd to scoff if it liked. He
remembered reading in the Bible of a
nation led to believe a lie, and it was
damned. [Laughter.] He was repeatedly
interrupted, and finally exclaimed:
"If any man wants to debate let him
come up here on the platform, and I'll
lam the devil out of him till daylight."
Referring to Cator's statement that in
flation of currency did not bring on panics,
he said :
"Oh no! Getting drunk does not bring
on headache. Its getting sober that
does."
He ridiculed the idea of stamping a bit
of paper and calling it a dollar without
gold behind to redeem it a3 equal to calling
a milk ticket milk and a bread ticket
bread.
"If you crumbled up bread ticket 3," he
said, "and put them in a bowl of milk
tickets and stirred them up and fed them
to the babies what Kind of children would
you raise?"
Mr. Irish wound up by declaring that
the only safety of the country and the in
dividual consisted in being honest and
paying dollar for dollar, and that no sys
tem of laws could be devised to avoid re

LOOTED A POWDER-HOUSE.
Two San Diego Youths Marveloualy Ms.
rape Death.
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Oct. 4.— That every
pane of glass in this city was not shattered
to pieces and vast damage done to build
ings last Sunday afternoon is due to one of
those mysterious manifestations of provi
dence no person is able to explain.
At that time two boys, James John
son, 10 years old, and George Bailey,
13, with hatchet and chisel, having
gained access to the powder maga
zine in theoutßkirts of the city, hammered
and cut open boxes containing explosives
and wrought havoc generally in' the midst
of twenty-rive tons of giant powder, nitro
glycerine and dynamite caps, and yet es
caped without injury. On Wednesday A.
A. Sparks discovered the damage and the
boys were arrested and confessed they had
stolen quantities of powder and hidden it
away. Bailey was sentenced to the Reform
School, but owing to his youth the sen
tence was remitted. Neither of the boys
seemed to comprehend the offense they
had committed nor the risk to their lives.

SIOUX IX/>JAXS COMPLAIN.
Many of Their (irirvmtccs Will Soon He
Investigated.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 4.-A con
ference held yesterday between Assistant
Indian Commissioner Smith and Buffalo
Bill's Ogallalah Sioux Indians showed that
the Indians have many grievances azainst
the Government concerning the affairs at
the reservation. Many questions were
propounded by Rocky Bear which afforded
additional proof of the wily characteristics
of the Sioux. As a result of the confer
ence an investigation will be made as to
the right of Banlett Richards, a beef con
tractor, to graze 4000 or more head of cat
tle on the Sionx reservation, and a prom
ise was secured that no more of the old In
dians of their tribe would be arrested un
der the Edmunds anti-polygamy act, such
arrests being a source of revenue to Lnited
States officers; but it was decided that
the Indian agent in charge should endeavor
to prevent the younger Indians from tak
ing unto themselves more than one wife.
Rocky Bear's assertion that further arrests
under this act would be made in the Black
Hills exacted the promise that the matter
would be looked into.
Other complaints regarding the reduo
'iion in freight rates and rations were ex
plained satisfactorily. Throughout the
conference the Indians expressed the
highest regard for Colonel Cody and Ma
jor Burke, and declared the treatment re
ceived from them exceeded their expecta
tions.

grew careless as he cursed his luck ami was
kicking around the mail matter when
