newspapers, but from the council,
claiming that, should It give this in

interested ln not being built, or for
other reasons, would vote against

"Mr. Voter: On account of the
great damage done to the city of Sa

struction of practically all of the
bridges in the city, it has become
necessary to provide means for the

repairs or construct any bridges over

Deputy District Attorney
Bender offered no lobjectlon to

after due consideration of the many
feasible ways of meeting the desired
needs, it was deemed advisable by
the city council to submit to the vot

Disagree on Suffrage.
Portland, Or., June 16.
Governor West, of Oregon, to-
day is on record as favoring
woman suffrage, and Archbish-
op Christie, of the Roman
Catholic church, has expressed
his opposition to "votes for
women," as a result of an lm-
portant debate which the two
entered Into last night at the
commencement exercises at the
St. Mary's academy.
"Young ladles," said gover-
nor West, "I favor woman suf-
frage, and, though my wife
does not agree with me, I think
the future will bear out my be-
life that equal franchise Is most
desirable. '
"Young ladles," said Arch-
Vp Christie a few moments lat-
er, "Governor West favors
something which I oppose. I
suggest that you seek the gov-
ernors wife for advice. In my
opinion her ideas on woman
suffrage are correct.'

Washington. June 16. Henry T
nvnurd. nf California, president of
the American Beet Sugar company
testified today before the Hardwlck
animr investiKating committee. He
HnM that he. with his brothers. Rob
ert, James and Benjamin, organized
the sugar refinery In Brooklyn in
1876. It was incorporated for $100,
000 capital In 1887, and entered the
sugar trust the same year.
"The capital was purely nominal.''
he said. "The plant was worth
$200,000, and when offered to the
trust I and my brothers received
$750,000 in trust certificates. Sub
sequently we sold the trust certifi
cates at 70."
He acknowledged that there was
$500,000 of profit In the transaction.
Two of his brothers, he said, con
tinued with the trust when they sold
their certificates, while he entered
the beet sugar business in Nebraska,
controlling six factories, capitalized
at $20,000,000.
Oxnard testified that an agreement
was reached between the American
Sugar Refining company and the
beet sugar manufacturers In 1902,
giving the trust control over the out
put of the beet sugar factories. The
express purpose of the agreement, he
said, was to prevent either party
from selling In the markets of the
other and to prevent rate cutting. He
declared that lawyers advised him
that the contract did not violate tne
provisions of the Sherman law. In
1909 when Colonel Duval was chosen
president of the American Beet Su
gar company, ne saiu, ne conciuu
that the contract was illegal and dis
continued It immediately.

Valeljo, Cal., June 16. Fred
Melville, boy bandit, was captured
today at Benlcla. He was arrested
by Constable Billy Hyde. The lad,
wounded ln tho shoulder and side,
crept into Benlcla quietly last night
and secured a room at an obscure
lodging house. He went at once to
his room. Although he was evident
ly weary, the proprietor of the place
noted little strange about his appear
ance. This morning the boy did not
come from his room. Then the
proprietor went up and found him
evidently suffering great pain from
the wounds. The proprietor said he
would get help, and, leaving the
house, found Constable Hyde and
told him he thought the young man
was the boy bandit. Hyde went to
the lodging house, made hie way to
the room, and arrested the boy. He
asserted that the lad admitted that
he was Melville.
Much of the bravado that has
marked his career of late has van
ished, and the boy Is said to present
a pitiable spectacle. Ills wounds are
not believed to be serious, though
they are vesy painful.
The arrest was made shortly be
fore noon.
Vallejo, Cal., June 16. Fred
Melville, boy bandit, surrounded yes
terday on a hill between Vallejo and
Benicia, today Is at liberty, and only
ode small posse of the three that
camped all night to cut off his re
treat is still seeking the lad. Chief
of Police Sanford, of Vallejo, with a
small volunteer force, Is still endeav
oring to trail the 19-year-old boy,
who Is alleged to have committed
ten robberies within the last two
weeks. Today Sheriff McDonald, of
Solano county and Sheriff Vealo, of
Contra Costa, after am all-night vig
il about the bandit's empty lair, have
given up In disgust, and their hasti
ly summoned posses havo returned to
ranch work and work bench.
For half an hour after the news
was brought at daylight that Melville
had quietly walked through the
posses' lines at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning there wag great activity. A
hasty search of the hill showed that
the bandit was really gone. Then
the posses started towards Sacra
mento In hot pursuit. Desertions
from the ranks soon appeared and
when, by 9.110 o'clock, the trail was
as far from being discovered as it
was when the sleuths first began
their search, the two sheriffs called

la a Stealthy One.
Malvtlle, who escaped by crawling
down a dry creek bed yesterday
morning, just after an attempted sor
tie had been stopped by a fusllade of
bullets from the revolver of 8herlK
Veale, made his way to the ThTee-
Miie House, where he staid for
more than an hour, saying he plan
ned to leave the country" at once.
Mrs. Adolph Struble, to whom he
talked, did not send word of his visit
to Vallejo until last night, and the
posse waa not Informed until this
morning.
When- he appeared! at the Three
Mile House, late yesterday after
noon, according to Mrs. Strubel,
Melville seemed xhlghly elated over
his esetpe, and appeared to consid
er the whole affair a lark. He was
not wounded and seemed to be In
good spirits, and little1 fatigued. He
displayed the three revolvers which,
the police had asserted ha carried,
and remarked that he still had plenty
of ammunition.
Crawled Down Creek Bed.
He laughed as he told ' how he
crawled down a dry creek bed, which
was sheltered by bushes, and led
from a point near hla hiding place1
through the lines of the posses- Into
the broken country at the foot vf. the
hill. He planned hlB escape, ac
cording to. Mrs. Strubel, soon after
an attempted' sortie waa cut oft by a
volley of bullets from the revolver
of Sheriff Veale, of Contra Costa
county, who was In a motor boat oft
Qlencoe. The lad Bald that he waa
convinced that escape ln the open
was impossible, and at once planned
to evade the pose by stealth. He
left his hiding place at about 2
o'clock In the aftornooni, and had
succeeded In getting Into the creek
bed unobserved. He crawled clowly
down the hill and waited until he
was sure he was unobwrved before
ho made his way to the Three-MlbJ
House.
