10 JAMES H, BARRY ON JUDGE CATLIN. Pours Journalistic Grape and Cannister Into Him THINKS CATLIN A CZAR. Supreme Court Asks for a Review of the Case in Question. ABSOLUTE DEFIANCE OF RIGHT. Meeting of M.mb.rs of the Old Free Press Defense Association To- Morrow Night. The writ of review asked for in the con tempt caie of Eaitor McClatchy of the Sacramento Bee, who was lined $500 by Jude< Catlin ol the Sacramento Superior Court, was granted by the Supreme Court yesterday. V writ of certiore.ri was issued, to be served on Judge Catlin to-day, requesting him to furnish the facts of the case for lhe liilormation of the Supreme Court. The applicant was represented by the leading legal luminaries of the State, in g D. M. Deiruas, P. Keddy and John bards. McClatchy was fined because he insisted i Bee lepori of the testimony given in open court in :i divorce case was correct, and because he made some caustic criti cisms upon Judge Catlin for denouncing it irom the bencn as false nnd without any foundation i!i fact. The strung feelin? aroused by what has b. tn termi d Judge Tallin's tendency for aping the Czar of al! the Russias i* plainly demonstrated by the movement on foot in City to revive the Free Press Defense Association, called into existence by the famous Barry contempt case. There will meeting of the pioneer members to morrow niizht and Judge .lames <j. Ma guire will undoubtedly he elected presi dent of the association. "Il is as. everlasting shame and dis grace," said one <>t the leaders in the naove ment yesterday, "that in this enii£ tened era men are obliged to form orcra'iiz.itions to pr-serve the liberty of speech and of the t ress." James H. Biirry. the editor who figured so prominently in a former contempt case au<! whose conviction resulted in ilu> enac tion of the historic B:irry contempt law, is line of the prince movers in reviving tlu old association and freely gives his opin ion on the action of Judge Catlin in linintr the editor of the tiee. •The summary conviction uf UcCiatchy for contempt hi that manner," be said, "was in absolute deiktnee of fundamental rights. It wa« an example of judicial de«t potisja happily not often seen in this country. "Tho <'/.ar of nil the Russias could hardly have exercised more despotic power. McClatchy may have spoken falsely, although [do not think he did; but if he libeled .turtle Catlin that public . :' hai the same redress as the Presi dent of the United States or any other public servant. Yes, or any private citi zen, for that matter. "He could have instituted a suit for libel, where McClatchy would have had an rtniiity to prove the truth of his as sertions. Failing to do trii*. he should be punished, but it is monstrous u> say that any man hits the right to De accuser, Judge, jury and executioner in his own case, as Catlin was. "By summarily convicting McClatchy, Catlin has not cleared his own skirts of the charges ma<ie against him. On the contrary, he himself has emphasized those charges by causing the pnblic generally to believe them true. "A Judge will be accorded ail the re spect he deserves, nnd treated with a!l the contempt that he earn-." CHINESE CERTIFICATES. Attorney-General Harmon Gives a Written Opinion of the Law. Defines Clearly the Rights of Chinese Laborers to Enter This Country. Collector Wi«e is in receipt of an im portant opinion from the Attorney-Gen eral regarding the certificates of Chinese. Mr. Harmon says: Department of Justice, ( Washington, d. C, May 26. 1896. \ Sir: I have the honor to give my opinion, as requested in your letter of the 22d inst., upon the proper construction of Article II of the convention between the United States and China, concerning the subject ot emigration, proclaimed March 17, 1894. By Article I the coming of Chinese laborers to this country is absolutely prohibited for a period of ten years. Article II provides that such prohibition shall not apply to the return to this country of registered Chinese borers having certain specified relatives here, or prop erty, or debts of a certain value ; but requires, as a condition of the right of such laborer to return, the deposit by him with the Collector of Customs of the district from which he de parts of a written description of his family, property or debts. The Collector is required to furnish him with a certificate of his right to return. Article II then proceeds as follows: •And such right of return to the United States shall be exercised within one year from the date of leaving the United States: but such right of return to the United States may be ex tended for aw additional period, not to exceed one year, in cases where by reason of sickness or other cause of disability beyond his control such Chinese laborer shall be rendered unable sooner to return, which facts shall be fully re ported to the Chinese Consul at the port of de parture, and by him certified, to the satisfac tion of :be collector of the port at which such Chinese subject shall lat<d In the United States. And no such Chinese laborer shall be per mitted to enter the United States by land or sea without producing to the proper officer of the customs the return certificate herein re quired." Your letter with its inclosure presents the ease of three Chinese laborers duly registered at Boston, according to law and treasury regu lations, and furnished with proper certificates In accordance with the treaty, who left the country from the district of Vermont, and after visiting China presented themselves for readmission at the same place in the district of Vermont, after an at.sence of almost thir teen months. They v.-ere refused admission, because the facts justifying the extension of the period of return were not reported "to the Chinese Consul at the port of departure and by him certified," etc., the collector hold ing snch port of departure to be Canton, China, at which place they left that country, or Hongkong, a British port, at which they* took ship. It appears that there is, of course, no Chinese Consul at Canton, and that for local and political reasons the British Government permits none at Hongkong. Your inquiry is whether the "port of de parture," at which the facts of sickness or Usability are to be so reported, is the port from which the laborer goes from this country, or that from which he starts on his return. It is a, well-known fact that Chinese laborers who leave this country almost invariably re turn to their own. This fact was, of course, well known to the framers of the treaty. They knew also that no country ha* Consuls at its o\v:i ports. I: seems clear, therefore, that they coul<fnot have meant the port of departure from China. If this be true, it appears to follow that the framers of the tri-aty must have meant the port from which tne laborer departs from this country. He is required to deposit a written description of his tamily, property or debts "with the Collector of Customs of the district from which be departs." While, at first gntnee, the phrase "port of de parture may appear, from its use in connec -son with the pi. rase "port at which sucn. Chinese subject snail land in the United States," to indicate the point of beginning of the voyage ot return, this appearance must give way before the manifest necessity of so construing the treaty, if possible, us to Rive it the operation winch the parties plainly in tended it to have. Besides, tne two phrases niay both fairly be construed hs referring to the I'm led states, requiring the fact of un avoidable detention to be rej>orted to the Chinese Consul at the port where the person desiring to return left this country, au.i the certificate thereof to be sent to the collector of the port at which he desires to re enter it. As Chinese Consuls in this country are re ceived by our Government and subject to re call on their own request it was naturally will ing to trust to their good faith, and ibe Chinese Government, one of the parties to the treaty, had the right to require of them the service it imposes. The only other possible construction if that tlie phrase," "Chinese Consul at the port of departure, 1 ' was intended to designate our Consuls at Chinese ports, but BUCh construc tion wmild require an entire change of the language used. When that meaning was in tended, Article HI shows that the makers of Ihe ireaty knew how toexsrsca it. That arti providing for the rights of Chinese offi cials, students, merchants, e:c. to come to and reside In the Tinted btates, authorizes - 'a certificate from their Government or the Gov ernment where they IH.-t resided vised by the diplomatic or consular representative of the I'mted States in the country or port whence they depart." While lhe language of the section you sub nii! is not explicit, and the- question presented cannot, therefore, be answered with entire freedom from doubt, my opinion is that the officer to whom lhe facts of sickness or dis ability are to be reported is the Consul wtio represents the Chinese Government tit the place trheoce the laborer left the United btates. Wink- the words used, "port" and "land,"' usually relate to a sea voyage, they were used because the Chinese generally ko ana cone by sea, and not because it was the Intention to limit the right to return to such as travel in that way. This is upuarent from the last sentence of the section: "And uo such laborer shall be permitted to enter the United States by land or sea without pro ducing to th»i proper officer of the customs the return certificate herein required." Instances where expressions suggested by the com monest form of the subject dealt witri have been held to apply to all its forms are not un common in judicial decisions. Moreover, the word "port" does not always mean fl seaport when it is used in connection with our customs officers, and the word "land" Is not necessarily limited to disembarkation from a ship. It appe ir.s to be necessary for the laborer to : ii> country at a place which is a port and is within the jurisdiction of a Chinese Consul, and thai he should rot urn to it at a port ot entry where there is a collector: but as liN rish; to depart and return by land as well as by sea is recognized by the treaty these places need not be seap< ■ A.s the manifest object of this clause of the treaty was 10 relieve returning laborers from the consequences of sickness or casualty the argument from inconvenience is not without weight. Detentions from those causes are likely to occur after the commencement vi a long voyage, which, in their absence, would accomplish the return before the ex piration of the year. Bickness, storms, or the many mishaps of,ocean travel may require the statement mentioned in the treaty on arrival in the United States, although it seemed un necessary before starting. These facts must have been in the minds of the framers of the . yet if any other construction be adopted than that which I have indicated :he □ntortunate traveler would have to returu to place from which he started or undergo the U>ng delay which would be required i.> communicate the facts to the officer at that point aii.i receive his certificate thereof. Very respe tiu.iy. Jti's \ Harmon-, Attorney-General. GEARY-STREET FRANCHISE It Excites the Ire of the Point ! Lobos Improvement Club. Thanks Tendered the Board of Edu cation for a Night School and a Sidewalk Thp Point I/ohos Improvement Club held its regular bi-monthly meeting last nieht and transacted much business of im portance to the residents of Richmond. A communication from the Hoard of Police Commissioners thanking the club for it 3 expression of confidence in the management of the police force was read, and the individual members gave voice to their pleasure thereat. A communication from the French Hos i pital was also read, stating that J. A. Bergerot had been appointed to represent that institution in the rlub for the year. The executive committee reported that it had got the Boaid of Education to acquiesce in the desire that a night school be held in the Richmond school building, corner of First and Point Lobos avenues, ! to open in August. It also reported that a petition sent to j the Board of Supervisors to improve the condition of Sixtn avenue, from Lake street to Goldon Gate Park, had been lost, according to the secretary of the board. The avenue was torn up to construct a line of railroad now owned and operated by ! the Sacramento-street system. Another petition was drafted and will be forwarded I to the board at on re. A paper was read by F. T. Newbery, civil engineer, on the proposed new char ter, in which he elucidated the manifold benefits to be derived therefrom. Newbery and John H. Sievers were ap pointed by the chair as delegates to the Merchants' Association to assist in the movement for the charter. It was decided to send a petition to the board against the extension of tne Geary street franchise. Secretary Johnson was instructed to i send s. communication to the Fire Com i missioners and Board of Supervisors in re ; gard to some protruding rails on the Park ; and Ocean Railway, as in case of fire the road would be rendered temporarily im i passable. It was found out, however, that i this matter had already ben attended to. The president reported that an asphal tum sidewalk had been placed in front of the Sntro School. The secretary was ac cordingly instructed to send a vote of thanks to the Board of Education for this piece of improvement, and also for grant ing the nigi t school.

DENIES ANY CONSPIRACY Ex-Judge Carpenter Becomes Impatient and Clamors for the Proof. THOSE TRANSFERS OF STOCK Ncar.y Two Thousand Shares Placed in the Name of Stenog rapher Hardee. Quite a number of witnesses were exam ined yesterday in the suit brought by the California Safe Deposit and Trust Con* pany to remove General Sheehan and the directors of the People's Home Savings Bank. Much of the testimony was a repe tition of what had already been sworn to. Several of the witnesses testified unwill ingly, and even defiantly, witnesses Shee han and Phelps being particularly com bative. The hit of humor in the situation of witness Hardee, who, although he owned no property, had been asked j to pay over $300,000 by Attorney Flournoy, was the main diversion of the day's trial. Receiver Sheehan was again put on the stand at the opening of yesterday's ses sion. He answered the questions of At torney Bartlett in a defiant manner, and with a military glare referred him to the bookkeeper if he wanted to know some thing from the records. A lively tilt between the opposing coun sel arose over the striking out of Attor ney Bartlett's amended complaint. Ex- Judge Carpenter, in a very dramatic man ner, declared that the plaintiffs were wast ing time, beating about the bush, and that they bad no case. "Let them prove the conspiracies which they have charged," shouted the ex-Judge, "1 defy them to prove it." Judge Seawell took the matter under advisement. In reply to Carpenter's questions on cross-examination Sheehan denied that he had anything to do witu the ousting of Director Merrill. Davidson had told Shee han before the election that he wanted to get 'Merrill out of tne board because he didn't understano business. In the vari ous disbursements he had made nnd which the plaintiffs charged as being extrava gant, Sheehan declared that he nad done what he thought to be to the depositors' interests. He denied absolutely that he had engaged in any conspiracy or collu sion. Sheehan's professed intention of hand ling the affairs of the bank economically was somewhat shaken by P.artnett's re direct examination. When the Bank Commissioners intended to cut down Sheehan's salary the General represented to them that his services were worth fully $J;">0 a month, but he denied that he hail appeared Oefore the board to resist a re auction, an asked for by a petition of de positor-. W. E. Palmer, a clerk in the People's I Home Savings Bank, was put on the I stand. He wu* questioned in reference to certain disbursements to attorneys out of the City. This money had been charged on the books to James Aiva Watt. In regard to Sheehan's attention to the business of the bank. Palmer said the general was at the bank every day from about 9 to 4:30 o'clock, and he thought the general attended to the bank's business almost exclusively. At the opening of the afternoon session Judge Seawell announced that he was not yet ready to decide upon the admissibility of Attorney Bartnett's amended com plaint. The court announced that he would decide the matter before this morn ing's session. Clerk Palmer was asked a few more questions, and after declaring that he had not engaged in or heard of any conspiracy for ousting Merrill, or for any other purpose, he was allowed to de part. Theodore L. Hardee, a stenographer who had been in the employ of Attorney Watt at various times, was next sworn. Watt had transferred stock to the sten ographer at various times. He had never purchased any stock. At present Hardee is down ?s the owner of nearly 2000 shares of stock of which he never had possession except long enough to indorse it to Attor ney Watt. The stock in Hardee's name amounted to several hundred thousand dollars. At torney Fionrnpy had notified him to pay some $.'532,000 last winter, but the sten ographer had "asked for a little delay." When asked by Attorney Bartnett whether he had property sufficient to meet such obligations, Hardee said if he had any property he would like to have some one show it to him. Hardee's recollection of bow he had received the stock was very hazy. He had always signed proxies for Mr. Watt when requested to do so. James Alva Watt, formerly attorney for the bank, was placed on the stand. He testified tnat he had received $.VJO a month from about June, 18! M, to January, 1895. He never had any exact understanding with Sheehan as to his compensation. When he first applied to Sheehan for money he admitted to the general that the latter had no right to pay him without an order of the court. Tnen Watt had seen Judge Hebbard and had an understanding with him in re gard to the matter. After that Sheehan paid Watt his money. Besides receiving $500 a month Watt also received fees. In one month alone — December, Ih94,— he received two fees aggregatine $1000. He didn't reniemoer that Mr. Sheehan had made any objection to the payment of these fees. He thought Sheehan relied upon him in the matter. Other attorneys had been employed on business of the bank. Watt didn't re number whether or not he had consulted the directors about employing them. He denied that he had had an under standing that h^ $50u a month included all iegal work. He had no recollection of having stated to J. W. Coleman, T. S. Williams and Attorney Bartneit that the $500 included all legal services. He denied that he had acted as attorney for the stockholders in resisting and de fending a suit brought by the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company. He had expressed his opinion that the suit was being improperly brought. When asked if he had said, in a news paper interview, that the bringing of the suit to compel the paying up of the un paid capital stock was legalized robbery, Watt explained that he had expressed the opinion to many persons that to compel the bona-lide stockholders, who were very few in number and wh > were as much the victims of the .McDonalds as the deposit ors to pay up this stock, even though it might be legally possible, would be a manifest injustice. B. B. Hardenberg was put on the stand to tell of a transfer of stock made by him to Hardee. The stock iiad been trans ferred to Hardenberg from If. H. Sher man. The details of me transactions were considerably confused in the witness' mind. William H. Phelps, one of the defend ants in the suit, ascended the stand. His answers were very defiant and often were not responsive to the question. He had purchased a claim from ex-Director Mer rill with money furnished by James A. Sevens, the attorney for M. IT. Sherman. Phelps admitted that he would not have purchased the claim if Merrill had not re signed. Phelps denied that he hail been elected director in consequence of any con spiracy whatever. He did not know and never had spoken to any of the directors except Directors Johnson ana Davidson. Several witnesses who were to testify were not present, so the court adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. GRAND ANNUAL PICNIC.

Mrs. Sadie Nichols Arrested for Rob- Imiir C. H. V«lpy. Mrs. Sadie Nichols, who has achieved considerable notoriety of late, and her niece, Ella Hasten, were arrested yester day afternoon on a warrant by Detective Dillon and Policeman McGrayan on the charge of grand larceny. The complaining witness is C. H. Valpy, a vineyaruist from Napa County. He was in Mrs. Nichols' house, 116 Eddy street, last Friday night, and alleges that he was robbed of $215. He did not discover his loss till the following day, and when he went back to the house .Mrs. Nichols of fered to return him $100. He refused to accept it, and yesterday swore out a war rant in Judge Campbelf's court for the ar | rest of Mrs. Nichols and her niece. Mrs. Nichols denies the allegation and 9ays that Valpy owes her $20. PROPOSED LABOR LAWS. E. L. Fitzeerald Intends to Remedy Many Existing Labor Ev.ls Has Prepared a Synopsis to Bi In" dorsed by the State Labor Unions. Labor Commissioner E. L. Fitzgerald has prepared to be introduced at the next Legislature a series of laws formulated for the purpose of remedying and abolishing many of the evils to which labor has been subjected in the past and which, according to the Commissioner's opinion, should be speedily remedied. In his letter to the labor unions of this State Mr. Fitzgerald states that it is his desire that those directly interested in this legislation should first peruse and aprove them, and if in their opinion any changes should be made to suggest the same to him that the laws may be abso lutely correct and meet every demand, t:. us saving further legislation on the same ground. The laws brace the fol lowing subjects: Eight — Bond pioterting labor on pub lic work,' bakeries, re-establishing labor bu i reau and creating free employment system, regulating employment agents, per aiera on public works, bakers' hours, time-check system, branding prison-made goods, cost of suit upon collection of wages, collusion with employ ment agents, employment of citizens of the United States on public work, regulating luncn hour, and boiler inspection. In order to make the foregoing clearly under stood I will give a brief synopsis of same: Eight hours— 3245 of the Political Code provides that eight hours shall constitute a day's work. The statute is not definite and is capable of circumvention by contractors who pay by the hour, and is therefore in many instances inoperative, requiring an amend ment to render its enforcement effective. Bakeries— To pass a uniform law requiring cleanliness and to insure purity in the manu factured product of this important industry. Governmental Boards Awarding Contracts— To prohibit Boards of Supervisors, common councils, boards, commissions, etc., awarding contracts to persons who have previously de frauded laborers of their wages. This practice is carried on to a large extent in San Francisco. There being no lien on public work the laborer is placed at the mercy of his employer with many disastrous results. Bond Protecting Labor on Public Work— purpose of this law is analogous to the forego ing and is framed with a view of protecting the laborer where the foregoing, through inad vertence, might be disregarded. Creating Bureaus— re-establish the bureau as a bureau of labor, provide for free employ ment offices, and to introduce provisions facili tating the work where the present law is de fective and inoperative. Regulating Employment Offices— place those persons who traffic in labor under uni form regulations, protecting the persons deal ing with them, and making the said agents amenable to law for the atrocities they have so lone practiced. Per diem oh Public Works— Creating a mini mum price which laborers must be paid, in suring ii livelihood, and protecting honest em ployers against unscrupulous competitors. Bakers' Hours— To establish uniform hours for the persons engaged in this most arduous toil; a necessary sanitary regulation. . Time-check System— To abolish the system now in vogue throughout the State of depriv ing laborers of their pay for unreasonable periods; to prevent the desperate condition to which laborers are forced through its opera tion—one of the greatest evils, requiring proper legislation and enforcement. Identity of Prison-made Goods— Requiring the branding of all goods made In the penal institutions ;of the State, to distinguish the same from the product of free labor. Costs of Suit— To allow the person whoother wise cannot collect money due for labor per formed to sue for same to the extent of fifty (SSO) dollars without advancing costs of suit. Collusion with employment agents — To pro hibit employers from contracting with em ployment agents to furnish labor and dividing commissions paid by the latter. Employment of citizens— To prohibit the employment of other man citizens of the United States upon public work. Lunch hour— To provide a reasonable time for the midday meal, obviating the evil of labor in retail ah I merits being lorced to visit lunch-counters and saloons for want of time. Boiler Inspectors— To provide for the proper conduct of this important business as a safe guard to life and property. Appended to the above, Mr. Fitzgerald states he considers every laboring man to be directly interested by one or more of the laws, and it is to his interest to see that the same is passed as soon as possible. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦»♦»»»♦♦♦»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ !

MADE IN ELEVEN HOURS A Remarkable Performance by a Trio of Fair Cyclists of the Mission. A NEW LEAGUE ROAD BOOK, Yeoman of the Reliance Club Made the Fastest Time of Last Sunday's Races. Misses Mollie Mahony, Rita Mahony and Lena Egeberg of this City, members of the Alpha (ladies') Cycling Club, made a remarkable wheeling trip last Sunday, riding a "century," which is the cycular term for 100 miles, around the bay. Tney made the trip in a little over eleven hours, including stops aggregating two hours, and their net ridine timewoulabe a credit to any wheelman who might undertake the journey. These young ladie9 are ardent wheel women and have from time to time taken many long trips into the country and re turn of a Sunday, sometimes riding fifty or sixty miles in a day. But they were not satisfied with thi9; fifty-mile jaunts were too easy; they sighed for a trip around the bay, a "century," which so many men have started upon and failed to accomplish. And so they finally agreed to make the trial, and last Sunday was the date set. Would they ride paced or unpaced, how ever, was the question? It was easier to be paced, they concluded, so two of their gen tlemen friends were invited to do the pac ing on their tandem, Robert Duncan and H. L. Mayo of the California Cycling Club, and they readily assented. They decided to follow the accepted 100-mile course of the California Associated Cycling Clubs, over which the annual relay race is run, and the party therefore met Sunday morn ing at 4:30 o'clock at Tenth and Market streets for the start. It was a little too early to get any of the official judges or timers of the associated clubs there to offi cially start them, but Mr. Mayo agreed to do the timing and act as judge, referee, starter and scorer, and promptly at the hour set lor the start tney set out, the tan dem leading a lively pace down Ninth street to Potrero avenue, and over the San Bruno road. All went well until they reached the other side of the Six mile hill, when the tandem broke down, and the ladies' hopes of uacing for the trip vanished. They de cided to push on unpaced, and the tandem team agreed to return to the City, get an other machine ana meet them on the Oakland side as far down as possible. This was done, the ladies riding to San Mateo, where they had breakfast and then continued on to San Jose for an early lunch. After an hour's rest they left the Garden City to return on the Oakland side, pedaling against a strong head wind for the last forty miles of the journey. They made a short stop at Centerville, expect ing to meet the tandem riders, but they were not there. "We'll meet them on the road soon," Miss Egeberg said, and with this hope in view they rode on to Alva rado—no tandem. Then the thought dawned upon them that the California Cycling Ciub had a roadrace at Haywards that afternoon and probably their escorts had stopped there. And so it proved, but they met them at Mount Eden and paced them through to the finish of the course, on Central avenue, Alameda, rather tired it is true, but delighted to think they had covered the famous associated clubs' course and had ridden a "century" under twelve hours. The Imperial Cycling Club will give a ladies' night Friday evening of this week. The California Cycling Club will give gold century bars to their members who ride 100 miles in ten hours or less, and sil ver il the performance is made in less than twelve hours. The entries for the annual league meet at Petaluma on July 4 will close at Peta lunia next Friday, and none will be ac cepted which anive later than that day. C. K. Melrose, George H. Strong and J. J. B. Argpnti have been appointed a spe cial committee by the North California Division, League of American Wheelman to get out at once a new roadbook for the division. The supply of roadbook? is now entirely exhausted, and the new book will contain many additional and valuable features. The growth of the division's membership has warranted the appointment of several new representatives at large, and Chief Consul Kerrigan announces the following appointments, to serve until December 1 1886: W. K. Griffith, Reliance Club Wheel men; J. W. Harvey, California Cycling Club; Leavitt H. Cox, Olympic Club Wheelmen; John S. Egan. Imperial Cycling Club. Whe Alpha (ladies') Cycling Club has elected Miss Dorothy Pendergast as representative from the club to the di vision board of officers. It has been found that there was an error in the timing of the Reliance Club Wheelmen's road race last Sunday, and the corrected table gives the credit for the best performance of the day to William Yeoman of that club, who rode the five miles in 12:30, four seconds faster than the time made by P. Q. Alexander of the California Club. Yeoman rode unpaced the entire distance and his ride was very creditable. The positions of the riders at the finish were unchanged. OBJECTIONS GALORE. The Ashley- Baldwin Suit Becoming I)rn\vn-out and Tir<«<uno. The Ashley-Baldwin case yesterday was one long string of objections. No wit nesses testified, the day being taken up with the reading of the depositions of H. C. Chain berlin of Richmond, Va., and Richard Y. Hard in, a correspondent of Clark's Horse Review, with headquarters at Lexington, Ky. Extracts of these depositions have been puDlisned and nothing new was devel oped. In fact Mr. Crittenden, Miss Ash ley's attorney, objected so often and so vigorously as to raise a doubt if anything at ail had been developed but his kicks. Chamberlin's deposition told of bow the Virginian had received letters from Miss Ashley stating that she wanted to correspond with a wealthy Southern bachelor. He replied that he did not rill the bill and then failed to answer subse quent communieiitions, although in one letter a photograph of the fair Lillian was inclosed. Chamberlin then told of meeting Miss Ashley on a road near his homo and of her announcing that she intended to visit him. He forbid her going to his house and later accompanied her to a streetcar line and sent her away. On the drive to the streetcars she asked him to give her money to come to California, but he re fused her. Subsequently Chamberlin gave the pho tograph of Miss Ashley to Mr. Hardin. That gentleman met her at a horse sale in Lexington, Ky., a year or two afterward and visited the house at which she was stopping. Hardin informed her that he knew of the Cbam berlin episode and threatened unless she immediately took her departure from his friend's house he would expose her. She departed. Hardin's deposition then tells how he wrote to E. J. Baldwin when he read of the suit filed against him by Miss Ashley. Harrlin told Baldwin what he knew of the plaintiff's past and also put Baldwin's attorney in communication with Chamberlin. — • — ♦ — • A PUBLISHER WEDDED. Ernest F.

When these symptoms are associated with biliousness, yellow-coated tongue, . nausea, bitter taste in the mouth and sal- low ssk'in, take Munyon's Liver Cure in ai- ternation with the Dyspepsia Cure, an hour apart. Where there is obstinate con- stipation keep the bowels open once a day by using Munyon's Constipation Cure un- til they become regular under the effect of the Dyspepsia Cure. When there are trou- blesome heart symptoms alternate Mun- yon's Heart Cure with the Dyspepsia Cure. If there is great nervousness or inability to sleep, alternate Munyon's Nerve Cnre with the Dyspepsia Cure.
