Knight made a very convincing argument as to the guilt of the man and at 3:51 the case went to the jury, which returned with a verdict of guilty at 4:03, which was signed by Hiram Faneuf, the foreman. It will be remembered that Adler, under another name, ordered a suit of clothes from Hoffman, paying a deposit thereon by offering a check on which he received in change some real money. The check afterwards was dishonored and after a search for the man he was finally arrested in Ixis Angeles and brought back to this city, Adler will appear in the Superior Court before Judge Smith on Friday, April 29th, at 10 o'clock, when he will received his sentence.

The testimony given terey Faraola Brothers caught the biggest fish of the season Monday night in the bay when they landed a shark that would measure about twenty feet In length. 'But it was an expensive catch. Aside from this big fellow four or five smaller ones were made cap tive In the nets and the men had a lively tussel in turning mem loose.

The old big fellow they worked over until they had killed him and then cut off his big tail and Ibrougnt it In as a trophy. These sharks are not the dangerous man-eating species, but are the basking variety. Faraola Brothers had three of their finest nets badly riddled and ripped and the Perez boys also suffered damage to their nets in a similar manner. Some of the fishermen on Tuesday lowered their nets just off Light House Point and made a fine catch of large perch, both white and black. Rockcod, which is about the only fish caught during the winter "months, will soon be displaced by a number of other varieties of fish which are re Bay.

turning to the bay, Including codfish, barracuda and smelt, and seabass will soon be running together with the salmon. During the summer months the rock-cod are left to themselves and the local fishermen do not make it a business of catching them only as fishing parties are taken out. They devote-their whole time more especially to seabass and barracuda, for which they get a better market price than they do for rockcod. Salmon are expected to commence running along about the middle of May, when there will be great sport for all those who enjoy real exciting sport with the rod and reel. The fisherman are preparing for the season and all the launches have been thoroughly overhauled and cleaned up, and some new ones have been added to the many already in this city.

Visitors to Santa Cruz will find no trouble In arranging for trips on the bay when the salmon begin their annual run. One of the most pleasing announce ments that we have been able to make to our readers for some weeks Is that of the consummation of the sale of I 230 feet of frontage at the base of Xoel Heights on High facing Hlgy. land to Pedro Chisem, of Mexico, who will begin the erection thereon, as soon as plans can be draw up, of a $50,000 apartment house, with all the modem conveniences, including steam heat, electric lights and elevator. This property extends from street to street, having an average depth of 150 feet, one of the most commanding situations in all Santa Cruz. The elevation is just high enough to give a commanding view from the upper stories and roof garden of (he entire city and section of the ibay, and yet the approach from the nearby Mission St.

Zumoto, director of the Oriental Information Agency recently opened In New York, and former editor of the Japan Times, is In San Francisco. He will remain in Japan for a month or so, and then will return to New York. "One of the things which I shall endeavor to do while in Japan," said Zumoto yesterday, "will be to impress on Japanese newspaper editors the necessity of disregarding any rumors of an unfriendly feeling for Japan in the United States. No such feeling exists among Intelligent persons here." With regard to general trade conm-tions between the two countries, Zumoto said that, considering last year's interchange of visits between merchants of this country and Japan, and other efforts which had been made, the NEW YORK, April 26.

Announcement was made here today on the authority of no less a personage than the New York Census Supervisor, that several of New York's wealthy citizens will shortly find themselves languishing In the Tombs unless they mend their ways and refrain from treating with contempt and discourtesy the enumerators sent to their homes (by the United States Government. "The snobs think themselves above the law," said Supervisor Falck, with a bang of his big fist, "and believe they can disregard It with impunity.

A gigantic jewelry awinuic nas been brought to light here by the New York Jewelry Hoard of Trade, in which manufacturers and holesalers of jewelry have been swindled out of half a million dollars, and It is expected when Investigations are completed that the amount will foot up to two million As a result of the exposure ten arrests have been made of men In van-ous States and more will be arrested in a short time. Details of the swindle were made public by Representative Harry Cutler of this city, who was a UNITED STATES results were rather disappointing. "I find," he said, "that American business men tako very little Interest In their trade pot only with Japan, but with the East generally. In a sense this Is, of course, natural, seeing that American commerce with Asia is small. But when it is remembered that there are about 600,000,000 Asiatics who are awakening to a new-era of progress the Immense possibilities of trade with them are worth cultivating.

I earnestly hope that Amerl-cans will see the advisability of taking a more keen Interest In their trade relations with the Orient." DAUGHTERS OF 1812. WASHINGTON, April 20.

But if tnere Is any further nonsense. I shall apply for warrants without delay. "A short visit to the Tombs will convince them that we meat, business and will probably make better citizens of them. "The working classes, the tenement population and even the foreign born have grasped the situation and given our men little difficulty. Our experiences prove that they are the most Jaw-ajblding and Intelligent citizens we have.

But the private residential sections have caused a great deal of annoyance and in many cases information has been curtly denied by a butler or a servitor and a door slammed In the enumerator's face. WASHINGTON, D. April 26. A canvass of the situation made today Indicates that the senate will unanimously confirm Governor Hughes' appointment to the supreme bench. Senator Clark, Wyoming, chairman of tho Judiciary committee, said that he would call a special meeting of the committee to consider the nomination, if necessary.

The next regular meet ing of the committee Is on Monday and the senate will probably act as soon as the committee reports. The Western Senators, who wanted the appointment from their section, are satisfied. Several other amendments were adapted Including one which gives the U. S. Supreme Court more power with the Commerce Court than the President has.

The time for its completion Is April 30th, a date which Is almost here, and from what we learn there is an immense amount of work to be done In that short time, as a great part of our population have not yet been approached by census enumerators. It will prove a great loss to Santa Cruz in many ways for the next ten years to come If we are not able to make a fair census showing, when our opportunity to be included in it terminates next Saturday. The following letter from Census Supervisor, John Rogers, of San should be given close attention: Ed. Under the law, census of Santa Cruz city must be completed on or before April 30th.

You can, therefore, see that the time is growing very short, and it is important that everybody should be enumerated, who Is lawfully entitled to be considered as a part of the population of your city, during this week. Will you kindly publish the enclosed statement In some prominent place In your paper every day between now and April 30th. If iossible, place it on the front page where It will be readily seen.

Today was the scene again of the uprising of the Republican Insurgents in the House when they joined forces with the Democrats and practically tore to pieces the railroad bill, the pet measure of president Taft. This was done by the adoption of of amendments on which the vote was very close in some instances.

There was great excitement when the vote was taken as Is shown by some of the Incidents which were really amusing. Speaker Cannon who whs out at the time was hastily summoned to help out the majority of the Republicans and hastoned to the scene minus his collar and tie. A Democrat who was In a barber's chair getting a shave, was asked to make post hast and Btruck out for the House with an uncompleted shave and with the barber's towel still clinging to his neck, In order that he might cast his vove In time. As a result of the compact between the Insurgents and the Democrats tiiey have matters practically their own way, and It remains to be seen if they will stand together throughout. Tho voting began this afternoon.

Tho amendment of Congressman Cooper, providing that judges of the Commerce Court shall be named by tho entire Supremo Court of the United States, Instead of by the Chief Justice, was' the first proposition to call out a. vote, and the amendment was adopted by a vote of 113 to IE T0U Ell PARIS, April 20 This afternoon at the American Embassy Mr. Roosevelt received a deputation from l'ie French Parliamentary group for International Arbitration, headed by former Premier Leon Bourgeois and Baron d'Estour-nelles do Constant.
