This la a novel part of the defense - that will be offered In the trial of the I2S.000 damage suit brought by Rellly, which came to trial before a Jury ln Judge Fraser's court this morning. A Jury was secured shortly before noon, and a motorman, who saw Teon's big , car shoot past him, was calico, as the first witness.

Rellly says that the machine driven by Yeon came so fast and so suddenly that he had no chance for escape.

Ban Francisco, Oct. 9 California is suffering from a Hindu epidemic, which comes ln as a sudden complication with the other sides of the Astatic question. It seems that this city has been so busy shooing off the Japanese and Chi nese that It failed to, notice the darker Astatic until he came ln formidable numbers. 'Up to within a week or so ago, it was thought that San Francisco had only about 100 Hindus and that less than 600 were ln California altogether. Yesterday S3 were sent out to Nevada from this city, which should have al most cleaned out the entire number In San Francisco, but as many more turned up within an hour. Now comes the story that 76 were shipped away from there last night. rieports rrom rresno say mat ouu Hindus are working there now, and still later reports show that throughout the State the Hindus are to be found. revision and reconsideration Attorney-General Crawford, after reading the rules for the first time at the conference, questioned the right of tho land board to adopt many of the rules, and aleo stated that he doubted the wisdom of enforcing them as a matter of public policy.

The affair over the postoffice box is the culminating event of a series of Indignities, according to the complaint. Mrs. Pygall aseerts that her husband is addicted to strong drink and that he has frequently abused her when he was intoxicated. She says that he fre quently asked for money, and when she railed to turn over tne sneKeis tie After each of these affairs, says the wife, Pygall promised to be good, but at last she has despaired of attempting to live with him.

The proposed rules embodied the re strictive features of the homestead and desert land laws and practically In jected them Into the Carey act, a pro ceeding that the attorney-general be lieved was of doubtful validity. It was Coin ted out In the discussion before the oarcj that the conditions attending the reclamation of a claim under the Carey act are different from conditions at tending the development of other pub lic lands taken for settlement, and that It was unreasonable to require the set tler to do more than the Carey act con templated he should do to fulfill his contract with the irrigation company and secure a patent from the state. Objection was made to the rule that a settler should make oath to a techni cal statement concerning the hydraulio capacity of his various ditches and have two or three other witnesses to swear to the same each year, as such knowledge as he would .be required to show could not reasonably be possessed oy an ordinary layman. Seises Objection. The Injecting of the contest right was objected to, as it made any' outsider eligible to become a party to the original contract between the settler, tne state ana tne irrigation company. It waa contended by the company that the contract is sufficient to determine any delinquency of the settler and eject him from the lands, and that when this is done it is time enough for the out sider to come ln and make application for the land and improyement thereon. It was also held by the company that a man should not be required to settle upon and reside permanently upon the land within six months after making application. OTerstep Oarey Act. Such a rule would overstep the pro visions of the Carey act and make the business of selling lands to prospective settlers very difficult, and would also deprive past purchasers of the privi leges they had been given a right to assume. Cases were cited of business men who purchased tracts and located families thereon to cultivate the lands. While the owner pursued other avoca tions it could be shown that they had effected actual residence and cultiva tion by their agents. A young man who had purchased a tract was attending college at Corvallls, and would lose his land or his educa tion under such a ruling. A physician had purchased a tract and was follow ing his profession hut kept a famllv on the land to develop It. At farmer who had purchased a tract was work ing on a neighboring farm and thereto earning money for his own. These and many other cases were cited to show the Inconsistency of the new rules. It was declared that it would be unfair to adopt rules similar to those ln ef fect at Twin Falls and other projects for there is no comparison in tne mat ter of difficult conditions encountered ln sale and development of the lands. Transportation racllltles. The Twin Falls nroject is on a steam railroad line, and has an electric rail way line running through it. The Deschutes company's lands are 80 miles from a railroad, and interior Oregon is not sufficiently Inviting at the present time to enable this company to com pete with Irrigation projects In other states ir tne intending settler is pound down by a mass or rules. Mr. Richard son said he had lost a great many pros pective seiners since tne ruies were an nounced, as the purchaser would refuse even to read them through after hear ing of their Import. A majority of the board indicated that the rules would not become again effective in Oregon.

WATER USERS FORCE SECRETARY TO RESIGN (Special DUpatrb to Th Journal.) Klamath Falls, Ox.. Oct. 9 The Klamath Water Users Association has forced the resignation of Secretary El mer I. Applegate. This action comes as a surprise, to the public, for Mr. Apple- gate is consiaerea very competent. Tne reason given by the board for request ing his resignation la that a majority of the association was opposed to Mr. Applegate's methods and nollcles.
