Limit Is Strong

Carroll of Fruitvale fired a shotgun at
\u25a0 n automobile which was racing
through East Fouryenth street near

tention was paid by the occupants of
the machine. Four men were in the
automobile and Carroll believed they
were under the Influence of liquor from
the uproar they made as they passed.

the residents of Fruitvale and outly
ing districts was so strong against the
execessive speeding of automobiles that
effective measures would have to be de

NEW CANAL SYSTEM IS
INAUGURATED IN COLUSA
COLUSA, June 1L. — With the turning
in of the water in the main canal of
the Central canal company a dream of
the late General Will S. Green was
realized. This water -will irrigate 200,
000 acres and will provide means for
the farming of a vast section which
now furnishes only a small portion of
the crops which it is capable of bear
ing when water is furnished In abun
dance. The irrigation system starts in
Glenn county and spreads - over into
Colusa, where its -biggest system of
laterals will be operated. -
As an auxiliary means of providing
water, immense electrically operated
pumps have just been installed which
will pump water from the river all the
year around. This section is being
settled rapidly by many eastern people
and the growin of alfalfa for sheep
and hog raising is proving immensely
profitable.
The movement Inaugurated by the
Colusa chamber of commerce for the
subdivision of the great wheat ranches
has resulted In many large tracts be
ing put on the market.
LAWYER VISITS BRADLEY
Makes Inquiry in' Regard to Orchard's
" Attempt to Kill Him
Frederick Miller of. Spokane, one of
the attorneys for Moyer. Haywood and
Pettlbone, who visited San Francisco
some months ago In connection with
the case now on trial in Idaho, has been
In this city during the last few days
gathering evidence to be used in the
cross examination of Harry Orchard,
the chief witness against Moyer, Pet
tibone and Haywood. Miller Interviewed
Fred W. Bradley yesterday and - made
inquiry as to the blowing up of the
Bradley 'home in this city, to which
Orchard has confessed. .Miller also in
terviewed Bradley's neighbors.
Bradley admitted last night that
Miller bad questioned him in regard to
the occurence. In his confession
Orchard said that he first tried to poi
uon Bradley by placing strychnine in
the milk after the milkman had left it
at the door and falling in this placed
a bomb on . the step, which exploded
when the former mining:'; man opened
the door. The house was wrecked and
Bradley was painfully injured.
Bradley, as manager of the Bunker
Hill mine in Colorado, incurred the en
mity of the western -federation . of
miners and was marked for death by
the inner circle, according to Orchard's
statement. .
Bradley at the time of the explosion
was Inclined to ascribe it to leaking
gas, but since he has read the ' de
tailed confession of Orchard he is con
vinced that the havoc was wrought by
a bomb.
Bradley said last night that he, did
not believe that he could give any tes
timony which would be of benefit to
the defense. , i

PHELAN TELLS OF JAPANSES
Says Trouble -Is Due to Politics in the
Mikado's Country
WASHINGTON, June 11.— "From
what I see of the newspaper talk here
and in Japan the whole thing: is \ one
of politics. The minority \u25a0 party In the
Japanese parliament is. seeking to. win
by;- stirring , up the people of .Japan
against this country. -It ':,' is hardly
probable that the ' Japanese people .will
be so foolish as* to 'make an issue with
this country, out of the , destruction ' of
some property*' connected '. with : ; the
Japanese restaurants.".
Thus spoke former Mayor James D.
Phelan of \u25a0 San -Francisco , today after a
talk with the president. He continued:
The motlre b«ck of ' the trouble, as I\u25a0: under
stand, was not one of race prejudice, but simply
tbe objection of union labor people to white men
patronizing a. restaurant run on a. nonunion ba«ls
by those supposed to be hostile to union labor.
If It Is to become , an international question. , I
suppose we \ will fcave to turn oTer to ' the ; Mi
kado all of our labor troubles for solution. As
far as any outbreak . against the \u25a0 Japanese ; har
lng occurred, there was none at all. • There will
be no race war in San FrancUco and the Japa
nese there will receive ' abundant protection.' .

Interstate Commissioners
Conduct { Investigation "
in Washington
ASK THROUGH ROUTES
Harriman and Hill Lines
Refuse to Exchange .
Freight Cars :;; ;
WASHINGTON, June 11.— A case of
more' than ordinary interest to *. the
Puget sound territory was, heard today
by the interstate commerce-commiss
ion. ; It was that of the Pacific coast
lumber manufacturers' association and
other lumber, associations in the state
of Washington against the" Northern
Pacific.' the Great Northern, the A Or •»..-'
son Short Line, St. Paul and "other
railroad companies." '.' '.*\u25a0*
The complainants allege i that the* de-.
fendants refuse to establish .for their
products routes via Portland, Ore.* : be
tween western Washington I and Wyo-
r mingr. Colorado,; Kansas. Nebraska "and
other points ; in. the middle west." but re
quire them to pay local' rates on"ship
ments to Portland^ the shipments there,
to be' transferred to other cars for ship-,
ment to a.' destination on\ the rate to
destination from; Portland." ' . ,
It is also alleg-ed that the defendant
lines refuse to interchange cars and
that they do* not furnish enough "cars."' I
The petitioners assert' that "the'lum
ber interests in Washington are suffer
ing because of their inability to secure,
transportation? facilities for their
products, although other classes of
freight are handled: by the* railroads
with no morn delay than is incident; to
natural conditions.
The . complainants ask the commis
sion to compel the • def endan ts"- to es
tablish through routes and- joint t rates
via Portland and' to make such other
orders as will facilitate the transporta
tion of their business. "' " r ; .
One of the difficulties, -It Is alleged,'
is that the lines of the Harrimah^sys
tem refuse to exchange "cars with the
lines of the Hill~ system because of dif
ferences between the heads of the two
companies. .' ; . - -
On the contrary it is urged by , the
railroads, that they have been unable
to supply the necessary cars to trans
port lumber because •, their , increase of
equipment has not. kept pace" with busi
ness in the state of Washington! -^v*;
This is one 'Of -the" first: to be brought
before the commission under the .pro^
visions of the new rate which compels

Spasms
bt. Vitus Dance
Many persons who suf-
fered untold agonies from
epilepsy, fits, spasms, and
St. Vitus' Dance are to-
day well. The strength-
ening influence of Dr.
Miles 7 Nervine upon the
shattered nerves having
restored them to perfect
health.
"I endured agony that word 3 can-
not express from St. Vitus' dance,
which followed a very severe spell of
rheumatism. I doctored with a phy-
sician; but the more I took of his med-
icine the worse I got. My mother's de-
votion saved me. After she had become
almost heart-broken . a3 well as phys-
ically exhausted from constant care,
by the advice of a neighbor she procur-
ed a bottle of Dr. Miles* Nervine. From
the first dose to the last a continual
change for the better was noticable.
and when I had taken eleven bottles
I was well, and in robust health."
