MISS POM CASE
An Old Lover of the Plaintiff
Appears on the Scene.
TESTIMONY UNFIT TO PUBLISH
Col. Breckfuridgo Expected to lie
on the Stand for the next Three
Days at Least.
Associated Press.
Washington, March 28. The surprise
of the Pollard-Breckenrldge case today
was the unexpected appearance of Miss
Pollard's old lover, Rankin Roselle, a
Kentucky schoolmaster. His deposition
had been read In the case, but to make
his testimony doubly sure he appeared
In person, and no sooner had he taken
the stand than Madeline Pollard glided
In, for the first time this week, from
the office of her attorney across the
street, where she was to be sent for
when her presence was desired. Prob
ably she will be In court tomorrow to
face her silver-haired accuser, for the
attorneys declare there will be positive
ly no longer postponements In the tes
timony for the principal, and Col,
Breckenridge will take the stand In the
course of the day. Most of the testi
mony today was In the form of deposi
tions, and was of a character which can
only be published In expurgation. The
case for the defense Is drawing to a
close with the appearance of Col. Breck-
enrldge, whoso testimony Is expected to
occupy at least throe days. Then there
will be evidence In rebuttal for an in
definite period, as Miss Pollord will take
the stand again, and witnesses have
been summoned from Kentucky.
A TEMPORARY CHANGE.
The Rumored Resignations From
the
Central Pacific Directorate.
Son Francisco, March 28. Charles F.
Crocker, first vice-president of the
Southern Pacific, was seen today re
garding the resignation of C. P. Hunt
ington, H. E. Huntington and himself
from the directorate of the Central Pa
cific. "There Is no great significance to
be attached to the matter," said he.
There is no sensation In it, and no sur
prising developments may be expected.
So far as I know, none of the stock
holders are dissatisfied. If there arel
ny dissatisfied ones, they may be heard
from at the annual meeting, which
takes place April 10." Mr. Crocker de
clined to enter into any further expla
nation of the matter, Intimating, how
ever, that the change is only a tem
porary one.
Relative to the retirement from the
directorate of the Central Pacific of
President Huntington and Directors C.
P. Huntington, Charles F. Croker and
Stephen T. Gage, the Call will tomor
row report C. P. Huntington as saying
that If the government does not accept
the present bill before congress post
poning the time of payment of the Cen
tral Pacific debt or extend the time of
payment of the bonds to a reasonable
period, the probability Is that the first
mortgage bondholders will take the
road. If, on the other hand, he said, a
reasonable time Is given to meet the
obligations and the proposed new issue
of bonds Is made, the government will
receive every dollar due inside of 60
days after the bonds are fssued. Hunt
ington is said to expect litigation be
cause of the recent change in the man
agement of the Central Pacific. .
WHEAT MARGINS.
The McGlauflln Contracts Discussed By
the Produce Exchange.
San Francisco, March 28. The direct
ors of the San Francisco produce ex
change held a prolonged meeting today,
at which the McGlauflln wheat con
tracts were extensively discussed, also
the subject of wheat margins. The fol
lowing was decided: "It is the unani
mous opinion of the board of directors,
after a careful consideration of the reso
lution adopted at a special meeting of
the members of the San Francisco pro
duce exchange Call Board Association,
held on the 22d of March, recommend
ing that the value for marginal pur
poses of May wheat be placed at $1.10
per cental, that It is Inadvisable, on ao
eount of the state of the foreign mar
kets, to make any change at present In
the marginal value already established.
CANNOT DISGRACE TEXAS.
Dallas, March 28. Gov. Hogg tele
graphed the following from Austin to
the Times-Herald today: "You can
truthfully say that neither cormorant
nor Commune can disgrace Texas while
I am governor. When a rallroaU com
pany hauls. Irainpti or unemployed rn-
nlless Into this state it cannot dump
therm Into a barren desert and murder
them by torture and starvation without
atoning fr it, If there is any virtue in
the machinery of Justice. Nor will
permit them to be shot down on Texas
soil by any armed force whatever, no
matter how much the Southerni Pacific
and other enemies of the state may
howl about the Commune."
Investigation proves that the 800 men
dumped out on the western desert by
the Southern Pacific were employes of
C. P. Huntington's shops and lines in
California who were discharged.

laid him down. Two of the other mem
bers of tho party picked up McGavin
and proceeded to cross the garlg-plank.

Hegeman had dropped overboard.

for the purpose of ascertaining how his
men were conducting themselves ashore,
had one of the boats ready to lower in
a minute's time. He also had a number
of lines thrown to the men In the water,
but without avail.
One of the orew went over the side
wltli a line and endeavored to raider
assistance, but wag unable to accom
plish anything; while others were forci
bly restrained from Jumping overboard
to help their unfortunate fellow-seamen.
