Ban Francisco, Feb. 11. Leon Boeder, accused of the murder of -his brother-in-law, Joseph Blaise, must answer be fore a jury for the crime that the po lice are trying to fasten upon hlm! In the face or the action that haa been decided upon to. bring Boeder to the bar of justice and try htm for the crime that he Is alleged to have committed, there is a feeling among those versed in criminal law that the case against the man is anything but strong, and" that It will be a very difficult matter to con vince a jury of his guilt: : Soeder is no dOubt a ; shrewd, cruel and utterly unscrupulous man. .He has a record as a convict and that he mur dered the young German whose body was found bleeding and mutilated at the foot of Russian Hill, is the belief of most people here who have Riven, at tentlon to the. remarkable case. The Insurance, companies with, which 'the life of the murdered man was insured have had private detectives working for days with the hope of securing evi dence that might furnish a tangible clue to the perpetrator of the deed, but thus far they have made little, if any, headway. As Mark Twain has said. "You cannot hang a clue for murder," It la with Leon Soeder, ; :' riaally Settled Sowa. The life of, the stolid German been a, strange one Indeed. For several years he has roamed from town to town in California, He finally married and settled ' in Petaluma. There his wife died, and the grim suspicion arose that he had poisoned her. The woman died as the result of a strange aliment some months ago, and it was whispered about in the little city that Soeder had ad ministered a slow poison 'that caused her demise. There were whispers and that was all up to the time ef Boeder's arrest on a charge of murder and of conspiracy to secure the : life insur ance on his victim. The policy that Soeder urged the innocent foreigner to take out was payable to Soeder with the understanding, verbal, - that In the eyent of the young man's death it was to be paid, to the sister of the latter in Germany.- Blaise was a newcomer. He arrived at View York from Europe about six months ago and on - representation of Soeder he came to California, expecting to secure remunerative employment This he did and be was honest and con scientious In all of hi dealings with those .who hired him. He lived with Soeder and took his advice in all things and in this implicit confidence rests the sequel, the police claim, to the' finding of his bruised and bleeding body in an out-of-the-way' part of San Francisco, at the foot of a rugged hill and In the shadow of its overhanging totVLnrn" But Leon Soeder is unmoveable. If he is a murderer he certainly has suc ceeded. ' in eliminating every sign of Always .

He claimed that be had made representa tion to the police that he had ' been robbed, but that Warrant Clerk John Greeley had refused to Issue a warrant tor the arrest of the thieves.-, A re porter was detailed . to ; look into the case and found that a game known as the "barrel game" waa being operated, as Soeder stated.' at the number indicated by him. The game waa a swindle and the nollce should have known ' some thing about It had they been attending to their tort,. Jw: ::: Capt John Seymour, now representing the Fair estate as special detective and rBian&ger. was then the chief of detec- fhves. As soon as Captain Seymour heard that his man had' neglected - to ,"puli" the den he ordered Detective Coleman to go with Soeder and the re porter and bring the gamblers and bunco men in. . The complaint was 'then at tended to. In , the office of the chief of police Soeder and the; bunco men stood glaring at one another. One of the, sharnera advanced and Shaking his finger in the farmer's face, said: "You know- aa well as I do that you are a liar; that you never lost a centra our place, and that you are using this means of blackmail ing us out of money to square a case.' Soeder looked a little confused but said nothing. The. next day he sud denjy left his hotel and went to Peta luma, where a bench warrant had to be Issued for his appearance in court to prosecute the alleged swindlers. He was a poor witness and the case was dismissed. , The bunco men, realising that they were cornered, paid Soeder $40 for him to throw the case. He did It This illustrates the character of the man .who today stands calmly and im perturbed in the light of publle belief that he is a coward and a murderer and says: "Convict me If you can."

Steamboat men who are paying heavy rents for the use of docks are seriously thinking- of asking- the city to come to their relief. The city owns the river frontage at the foot of Stark street, and if the municipality can be persuaded to erect a dock in that local ity the steamboat men believe that the days of high wharfage rent will be at an end. By charging a reasonable amount for vessels docking there, they believe that the city . could make the venture a financial success and at the same .time greatly stimulate the local shipping business. V The plaft suggested is to make it a city dock and public property. Two or three lines could possibly make it their headquarters, urge those who have given lhesuhjectrrfullconsiderationr-and-a fair rental- collected from them alone would probably make the scheme a Jus tillable undertaking. Captain Cochran, one , of the principal owners of the steamer Telephone, is enthusiastic, over the plan. - He says: ; s 'There is no opportunity for an in dependent company to get dock accom modations here. Those who do get them are obliged to' pay such, high rents that the steamboat business is made un profitable. The city owns the land at the foot of Stark street, and by erect ing a dock there and charging steamers moderate fees for landing privileges It seems to me it would prove a fine pay ing investment - "In the spring the probabilities are the Telephone will be put out on some run. To secure dock accommodations will he the hardest problem. Nearly all are in use, and excessive charges are mads for them. At Ban Francisco some of the docks are owned, by the state and a "board of harbor commissioners looks after them. As a result very rea sonable rents are in vogue there. The same plan could be carried out bere by the city to good advantage, so far 'as the one dock mentioned is concerned. At present the property is standing idle. It could' easily be made to produce a revenue if the Idea suggested should be carried out. Such a venture would also greatly tend to stimulate the ship ping business." : i , aacxzoAV vtmoxPAunzs.

Copies of the address made by F. H. Newell, chief of the reclamation bureau, before his com mittee, have been received by Chairman Mendel! of the house committee on ir rigation. ' Mr, Newell devoted his whole time to the recounting of his investlga tlons of the conditions of various wear ern states, Oregon and Washington, par tlcularly the former, came la for the most attention. . The subject as dis cussed by Mr. Newell shows that much work has been dope in the way of pre liminaries, and that Irrigation-of the arid lands of the state wUl be eventually sure. Mr. Newell enters. Into the discussion with many original ideas, although the subject generally haa been covered 'by the second annual report of the reclama tion service. . i ' - , . " ' ravors TJaiatlUa Project, i.1 ' Three projects believed to be the most feasible' are outlined; but of the three, that most favored by Mr. Newell is that of the Umatilla river. - : .v In regard to this project, Mr. Newell says: "The project of the Umatilla ap peals to me more than any other, be cause the altitude is low, it is on a navigable river, right on the railroad, and haa a good market as well as a good climate, so if we could get water onto that land I think it Is one 'of the best projects in the state for irrigation." in leading up to this opinion the other three schemes are discussed In the fol lowing words: . ;' "In Oregon there are three projects which we have been studying with care. we nave been examining the whole state, and while those three are perhaps not the best, they have attractive points. We started out to see if we could take out the Snake river and bring it along into Oxgon, but it was found a canal could not be brought out there. The next question was whether the Umatilla, which flows by Pendleton, could be brought out and stored in the Powder creek region. It is apparent that we can there make a reservoir not a very good reservoir, but we can probably store and utilise water there for the reclamation of 60,000 or (0,000 acres. This is all good land, and the extent of the irriga tion is limited only by the water aupply, and we roughly, estimate that we can put water on the land at a cost of from (10 to 15 per acre. 1 ; ;.V; Boise Talley Plan. "The second oroject is in the extreme eastern part of the state in the Boise valley, where the-waters of the Mal heur and its tributaries may be stored and used In the vicinity of Vale-and Ontario, where there are 40,000. 60,000 or 100,000 acres, mainly public land. "The third is the SUvies river, which flows out into the Malheurlakert-There are broad marshes around the lake which are now used for cutting hay, and we propose to take some of the water, with out injuring those hay lands, if possible. store It and attempt to ' develop that country in there. There is a Carey land selection scheme also under considera tion, and we want to consider carefully the exigencies of the ease. . Besofcatea Xlver Plata. '' ' "One of the best opportunities for de velopment in the state is on the Des chutes river, where lands have been se lected by the state under the Carey land act. but the people have not done very much. It is possible that they will ul timately fall through and ask us to take it op." s Mr. Newell also quite severely criti cises the state officials for not imposing sufficient restrictions to guard her own interests. Too much speculation is charged, and no assuming of responsi bility. , "The state should help In the work, in stead of appointing irresponsible agents," said Mr. Newell. ' Biff Bend Country.

It will take competent engineers Ave or six years to- devise means how this particular country can be Irrigated, but that it will eventually be satisfactorily done. On this subject Mr. Newell says: "We are now seeking to get some cheaper way of getting water onto the Big Bend tract. Two methods confront us. We can build canals slong the hill sides or we can tunnel through the hills, In either case the present estimates are pimply staggering. There la sufficient water for reclaiming this tract of land If it can be economically diverted. ' The Coeur d'Alene lakes are of a sufficient elevation that they could furnish enough water to irrigate all this country, if we could get it down to the Spokane river or across the divide by a tunnel SO miles long.
