PALLAS GOES FREE JUDGE HOWARD DISBELIEVED HART'S STORY Latter's Neighbors Pass Him UP as a Man Bereft of Veracity and Integrity — Judge's Decision Rendered Monday Justice Howard on Monday discharged Frank Pallas from custody on a charge of having committed an assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill J. W. Hart. The shooting took place on Hart's ranch three miles southwest of this city, on the evening of March 18. The case was called on Thursday of last week and occupied the entire day. An adjournment was taken to Monday, March 28th, when, after hearing the evidence of Mrs. Ida A. Gross and Henry Loomis for the prosecution, Pallas was discharged. Mrs. Gross was domestic in the employ of Hart at the time of the shooting. She has since left his employ. She testified that the first shots came from without. Loomis is a lad who had been out hunting at the time of the trouble. He testified that the first shots were fired outside the house. The trouble arose over uncomplimentary remarks made by Hart relative to a home-made implement for rowing off corn. Judge Howard in rendering his decision disregarded Hart's testimony as untruthful, and held that Mrs. Gross was under such stress of excitement that her testimony was practically dark. He saw no one. He again called the dog to "sic" Pallas around about the barn, but the latter had gone. Hart hitched up his team and drove into town. Cross examination by Mr. Chynoweth did not shake his testimony in the least. Dr. Johnston dressed his wounds applying the Roentgen rays, seeing the shattered bone in the little finger, subsequently Hart swearing to a warrant of arrest charging Pallas with assault with intent to kill. Dr. Johnston was called and gave evidence regarding the wound. PALLAS' TESTIMONY In the afternoon Pallas took the stand. His testimony was altogether contradictory to that given by Hart. He said he walked over to Hart's place in the evening between 7 and 8 o'clock. He had not had a drink that day. He had been in town but had not taken a drink. He accosted Hart pleasantly, and plunged forthwith into a discussion of matters between them. "Did you say that corn-rower of mine would suck cows?" he asked. "No, sir, I didn't say so," replied Hart. "Do you know what I think of you? I think very little of you." Hart replied that was about what he thought of Pallas. Pallas said Hart was a contemptible cur. The latter set down his milk pail, and he (Pallas) thought Hart was going to strike him with the stool, when Pallas struck him. "Hart ran into the house. I did not stumble over a water pipe. I had no gun in my left hand. Hart soon appeared at his door and fired his pistol at me. He fired again the second time. Then I shot, but I did not shoot to hit him. I ran by his house, by this open door. Hart stood in his door shooting at me as I ran and backed off." A number of character witnesses were introduced to show that Hart's intention in the community is honesty. BILLY FLAGELLATED STATE COMMITTEE DEMOCRATS EXCORIATE HEARST Defeated Lane for Governor, Hounded Steve White to His Death, Ignores Congressman Beff, Does Not Know Beamer The Democratic State Central committee has endorsed Hearst's candidacy for the nomination for President, but at the cost of some of the most bitter denunciation that has ever been levelled at the head of a prominent candidate for so prominent an office, coming from the members of his own party. The Stockton "Mail" is one of the Democratic papers of the State which will not bow the knee, and it prints a full report of the meeting of the committee, at which members flayed the Hearst ambition, in the name of the memory of Senator White, whom he always opposed, and also by the record of his fight against Franklin K. Lane two years ago, not to mention other Democrats whom his paper helped to defeat. Among the speakers was James H. Barry, editor of "Barry's Star," at San Francisco, and one by Ed. S. Leake, of the Woodland "Mail," who thus addressed himself to the resolution endorsing Hearst: "I know it is probably useless for me to say anything in protest against the suicidal action which you are determined to take, but I should be false to my duty, false to my Democracy, if I sat silent and permitted this thing to be done without objection." She testified that the first shots came from without. Loomis is a lad who had been out hunting at the time of the trouble. He testified that the first shots were fired outside the house. The trouble arose over uncomplimentary remarks made by Hart relative to a home-made implement for rowing off corn. Judge Howard in rendering his decision disregarded Hart's testimony as untruthful, and held that Mrs. Gross was under such stress of excitement that her testimony was practically valueless. The case began on Thursday morning. District Attorney Head appeared for the people, while H. W. Chynoweth represented Pallas. The difficulty appears to have grown out of alighting remarks by Hart to a home-made machine for rowing off corn. The evening before the shooting Pallas' men, when quitting for the day, left the implement on the line separating the two farms. Hart said the machine looked as if it would suck cows, or words to that effect. Attempt on the part of the defense to introduce testimony showing bad blood between the men on account of a boundary dispute was objected to by the prosecution. The question was later withdrawn. J. W. Hart, complaining witness, testified that Pallas walked over to his place on the evening of Friday, March 18, at the hour of 6:45 or thereabout. Hart had been milking, and carried in one hand a pail of milk, in the other the stool upon which he sat while milking. Hart said "good evening," to which Pallas made no response. Pallas approached, and after a few words about the corn implement, applied an approbrious epithet to him, following it immediately by striking him in the face and knocking him down. Hart's milk pall went in one direction, the stool in another. In Pallas' left hand he saw the glint of a pistol. It was dark but sufficient starlight existed to enable him to see the glint of the gun. It was either a gun or a knife. Pallas started after him, but fell over a water pipe. As Hart reached his door he turned and saw Pallas picking himself up. Hart locked the screen door after him, fearing Pallas intended to murder him. Pallas, he said, was under the influence of drink. Hart looked for his revolver, but was unable for a time to find it. When after looking for it in several places he finally found it placed on a small stand in his bed room. He heard Pallas walking by his house, and opened the door about three inches, using his left hand. Pallas fired, the bullet striking the little finger of the hand, shattering the bone, entering the fleshy part of the hand, coming out at the center of the palm and embedding itself in a side of the screen door. Hart went for his gun and when he again opened the screen door Pallas fired again, the bullet lodging at the side of the other. As Pallas fired the third time, Hart thrust his revolver out of the door and fired in the direc- Draft Horses and Blue Ribbons At the ranch of Bob McClintock at Westminster the full-blooded French draft horse Marquis, owned by Oliver Hill, Esq., will make the season on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of each week, the remainder of the time at the ranch of the owner, a mile west of Alamitos school house. Marquis is a fine looking bay, and is regarded among horsemen as the best thing that goes on four feet hereabouts. What Oliver does not know about draft horses need never occasion any serious inconvenience to anyone. That is the horse which he claims to know all about, and has made of this class of horses a life study. A number of years ago he entered one of his horses at the Orange county fair. When the day for making awards rolled around he discovered his horse had been awarded second prize, first prize going to a plug owned near the county seat. Oliver hunted up one of the committee and asked regarding the decision. Well, I never liked a gray horse, anyway," replied the judge, not knowing he was addressing the owner of the animal. "I'm the owner of that horse," replied Oliver, "and if he doesn't take first prize he doesn't take any at all. But I never heard of judging a horse by his color before." The judges held a conference and decided to open the contest, but Oliver went home taking the horse with him. Los Angeles horsesmen urged him to fight against Franklin K. Lane two years ago, not to mention other Democrats whom his paper helped to defeat. Among the speakers was James H. Barry, editor of "Barry's Star," at San Francisco, and one by Ed. S. Leake, of the Woodland "Mail," who thus addressed himself to the resolution endorsing Hearst: "I know it is probably useless for me to say anything in protest against the suicidal action which you are determined to take, but I should be false to my duty, false to my Democracy, if I sat silent and permitted this thing to be done without objection. Such action as you are bent upon is a new and unprecedented thing in the history of our party, and it is as unwarranted as it is unheard of. Therefore, on broad grounds; I protest against a procedure never before taken or attempted to be taken by any State Central Committee. "I hold several proxies, but I will speak in the name of but one of them, for I do not intend to hold those who have honored me with their proxies as targets for the venom and the newspaper bludgeoning that might follow. "I challenge you to produce a record anywhere in the history of politics in California where a democratic state central committee has attempted to make up a pledged delegation in the manner now adopted by you. "Let me warn you, on behalf of hosts of loyal democrats all over California, that it is neither honesty nor good policy to reward party treachery. You may force these resolutions through this committee, you may even dictate to the state convention what action it shall take, but you cannot compel the democrats of California to accept William Randolph Hearst as a democrat: They know him only as a betrayer of their party. "四年 ago at the state convention Stephen M. White was chairman of the committee on resolutions. The committee's report had been prepared and was ready for submission to the convention, when a resolution was sprung demanding that the democratic national convention should give the vice presidential nomination to Hearst. By all that was just, by all that was honest, if California was to have a representation on the national ticket, that place was due to White himself, the great leader of our party. He knew it. Moreover, he could not forget Hearst's treachery to him. Leaning over to me he said—and well I remember his words,'or they were the last I ever heard from the lips of Stephen M. White: "'Kill that resolution if you can, Leake. If you cannot I shall have to go on the floor of the convention and fight it.' "This was White's opinion of the democracy of the man you are now demanding that the democrats of this state and nation shall select to lead them." "Ever since I gave my hand to Steve White then I have realized that I was a marked man. But my own honor and my own devotion to the democracy have bound me to the course that I..." he finally found it placed on a small stand in his bed room. He heard Pallas walking by his house, and opened the door about three inches, using his left hand. Pallas fired, the bullet striking the little finger of the hand, shattering the bone, entering the fleshy part of the hand, coming out at the center of the palm and embedding itself in a side of the screen door. Hart went for his gun and when he again opened the screen door Pallas fired again, the bullet lodging at the side of the other. As Pallas fired the third time, Hart thrust his revolver out of the door and fired in the direction of Pallas, the flash from whose gun Hart could see through the window. These two bullets met in mid air, according to witness, for he found one flattened ball near where Pallas stood the next morning. In all Hart shot four times, and Pallas fired a like number of missiles. When the shooting subsided Hart waited inside his house for five minutes. Then he called to his dog outside to "sie" Pallas. The dog ran around the house but did not bark. Hart walked out cautiously, going to the corner where Pallas had stood. It was quite plug owned near the county seat. Oliver hunted up one of the committee and asked regarding the decision. "Well, I never liked a gray horse, anyway," replied the judge, not knowing he was addressing the owner of the animal. "I'm the owner of that horse," replied Oliver, "and if he doesn't take first prize he doesn't take any at all. But I never heard of judging a horse by his color before." The judges held a conference and decided to open the contest, but Oliver went home taking the horse with him. Los Angeles horsemen urged him to exhibit the horse at their fair the following week, but his dander was up and he refused to go.

MAIN STREET, LOS ANGELES, CAL. PLEASE SEND THIS TO SOME ONE WITH CANCER. Kill that resolution if you can, Leake. If you cannot I shall have to go on the floor of the convention and fight it. This was White's opinion of the democracy of the man you are now demanding that the democrats of this state and nation shall select to lead them. Ever since I gave my hand to Steve White then I have realized that I was a marked man. But my own honor and my own devotion to the democracy have bound me to the course I have pursued, and I fear no man. Mr. Chairman, this is no personal fight on my part. I have no animosity against Hearst that I should not gladly subordinate to the welfare of the party. I am here to discharge a debt of honor to the great man I have named and whom Hearst betrayed. Under the call you have prepared, San Francisco gets one-fourth of the delegates to the state convention. I ask, How does she get it? And I reply On the vote cast for Franklin K. Lane whom Hearst refused to support and whom he worked to defeat. But in spite of the opposition of the Examiner Lane rolled up in San Francisco the great majority that will give the metropolis such a large proportionate vote in the convention. Hearst did succeed in electing a republican governor, and now you are going to reward him for his treason by demanding that the democrats of the United States shall march through the coming campaign with the traitor at their standard-bearer. Gentlemen they'll never do it. I ask you to name any prominent democrat, either among those who are present today, or in the state any whom Hearst has not opposed. Do you see anything in his papers about Congressman Theodore Bell, one of the greatest young men of our party in this state? R.H. Beamer was nominated for re-election on the state board of equalization. Hearst opposed his nomination, and because he could not have his own way refused for a whole week to mention the fact that Beamer wa FLAGELLATED COMMITTEE DEMO-EXCORIATE HEARST for Governor, Hounded to His Death, Ignores Pressman Beff, Does Know Beamer AERATIC State Central com-mandors Hearst's candidate nomination for President in the cost of some of the denunciation that has evoked at the head of a candidate for so prominent coming from the members of his party.

Yet, despite Hearst's opposition, Beamer has been elected four times in a district overwhelmingly republican. "This is not the time nor the place for the adoption of such a resolution as is proposed. This is a matter to be dealt with by the state convention. Why not let it go until then? If you favor Hearst, what harm will be done by the delay? What right have you. A Lane campaign committee, to adopt Hearst resolutions? It is wrong, and it is not within the lines of propriety. Furthermore, it is without precedent. "Let the people have a voice. If they want Hearst, all right. I shall bow in submission to their will, but what right has this committee, appointed to conduct the campaign of Franklin K. Lane, to dictate to the coming state convention the endorsement of the man who fought and defeated Lane? I know too well that I may not influence a vote here, but none the less am I bound in honor and conscience to register this protest against the wrong you have planned to inflict upon the democratic party in California." AS TO REPEAL OF LAND LAWS Guy E. Mitchell’s Interesting Comments on the Fight Now Surging in the American Congress The fight has been surging in the Senate Public Lands Committee during the past week on the question of the repeal of the land laws. Following Senator Hansbrough's unparalleled action in refusing to consider the wishes of the majority to report the bill repealing the three laws, it was decided to split the Quarles bill into two measures, one to repeal the timber act, which could be disposed of first, and the other to take up the desert law and the commutation clause of the home-stead law. Senator Quarles immedi- to make at least a strong minority if not a majority report, which will get the bill out on the floor of the House where it can be fought for. This question has always been a non-partisan one, but should the House refuse to consider the bill, the Democrats will undoubtedly make of it a party issue, taking as their basis not only the unquestioned fraud under these laws but the vigorous utterances of the President in both of his annual messages and in his public speeches insisting upon the preservation of the public domain for actual settlers and that no more government land shall be disposed of without residence and improvement by actual farmers who will till and make homes upon it, none of which is practiced under these laws. It is stated that the President will use his influence to force the passage of the Quarles timber repeal bill, but it is pointed out that the saving of the agricultural lands from raids under the desert land act and the commutation clause of the homestead act is of far more importance to the real prosperity of the country than is the mere saving of timber, which has only a pecuniary value, even though great. The utmost opposition is being made both in the House and in the Senate to the repeal of the desert act and the commutation clause. A fact not lost sight of by eastern Congressmen and Senators who are beginning to appreciate the national importance of this question, is that while Congress is laying, the absorption of public land continues at the rate of over two million acres a month.

Following Senator Hansbrough's unparalleled action in refusing to consider the wishes of the majority to report the bill repealing the three laws, it was decided to split the Quarles bill into two measures, one to repeal the timber act, which could be disposed of first, and the other to take up the desert law and the commutation clause of the home-stead law. Senator Quarles immediately introduced the timber end of his repeal bill with a provision for the sale of stumpage by the Interior Department, a measure somewhat similar to Senator Hansbrough's bill introduced last fall except that it contains no provision for the location of forest reserve, railroad and other lieu land rights upon "land subject to homestead entry," under which the lands reserved by the Secretary of the Interior for irrigation purposes in small tracts of not more 160 acres could have been located by speculators and syndicates in great blocks of thousands of acres. This bill was unanimously agreed to in the committee and passed the Senate without difficulty. Its repeal had been recommended by the President's commission and it is evidently the hope of the stockmen and the land grabbers that this concession to the advocates of the Quarles bill will keep them quiet for at least this session. Senator Quarles, however, announced that he would immediately introduce these other two birds of his bill providing for the absolute repeal of the desert land act and the commutation clause of the home-stead act. The fact that the President's commission has refused to make a definite report on these two laws does not alter the determination to secure their abrogation. The tremendous frauds which have been practiced under them, the impossibility of their administration so that actual settlement becomes necessary, and the official testimony of a long line of Commissioners of the General Land Office and Secretaries of the Interior are stated to be sufficient evidence for Congress to proceed upon, without any further special investigation at this late day. A bitterer fight than ever is promised against the second division of the Quarles bill. Senator Hansbrough has arrogated to himself the special championship of this opposition, and relying upon the indecisive action of the President's commission regarding these laws every effort will be made to prevent their consideration just as was done with the original Quarles bill. LAND LAW REPEAL SCORES IN HOUSE Congressman Reeder of Kansas, the ranking member of the Irrigation Committee of the House, executed a little coup the other day which may develop into great proportions. The Public Lands Committee of the House has been avowedly opposed to any land legislation, from Chairman Lacey down, with one or two exceptions. Land bills introduced last year and this have been Senators who are beginning to appreciate the national importance of this question, is that while Congress is delaying, the absorption of public land continues at the rate of over two million acres a month.

Pierce, pathologist in charge of the Pacific Coast Plant Improvement Gardens of the Department of Agriculture, has received a consignment of 10,000 cuttings of the Lenoir grape vine from the Stanford estate at Vina in the Sacramento Valley, and is making preparations for placing them in the vineyards in this valley, with the expectation of proving conclusively that this variety is resistant to the California vine disease which has worked such widespread havoc to viticulturists. For the present entire lot of cuttings will be heeled in at the Fullerton station, and as opportunity offers they will be distributed among growers in the sections where the disease has been the most virulent. The result of the experiments is expected to give ocular evidence to growers of the superiority of the Lenoir stock as a resistant to the disease. The vine disease first made its appearance in this county in 1835 and has been the cause of the destruction of 25,000 acres of vineyard in Southern California, of over 5000 acres in the Sacramento valley and about 10,000 acres in the Santa Clara district, CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 Cures Solitie Rheumatism Mrs. A.
