THE TURNER CASES. He Will Be Tried on Charzes of Grand Larceny and Forgery. J. F. Turner, real estate agent, appeared in Judge Low’s court yesterday afternoon for his preliminary examination on the charges preferred against him by J. P. | Frenna, the Polk-street barber. Turner | has been in the City Prison since his | arrest, about three months ago. Turner was represented by Attorney | George A. Knight and Frenna by ex-Judge | Dibble. | About’a week ago Judge Low dismissed | a charge of obtaining money by false pre- tenses in regard to the Fresno proper There were three oth: charges agai Turner—one of obtaining money by pretenses in connection with the | Cruz_property, one_of grand larceny and | another of forgery in connection with the ; ed upon the certificate | of registration oi the deed to Frenna, 1t | being alleged that the signature of the Re- corder was forged. Itisalso alleged that | Turner stole this deed from Frenna, hence | | the charge of grand larceny. Frenna says | that although the deed cannot be found, he ha: veral witnesses who will swear to having tificate of registration. There was a brief argument between counsel as to which_case should be taken up first, and it was decided to take up the grand larceny charge. Then by mutual | consent the ¢ of obtaining money by | e pretenses on the Santa Cruz property | | dismissed.

Though Mayor Sutro himself claims to feel no apprehension regarding the threat- ening letters alleged to have been sent him recently, his friends are fearful that the strange publicity.given the matter will | urge on some crank to commit an assault | on him. “I have mo recollection of seeing any such letter as has been mentioned,” said the Mayor yesterday. “It may have been | received and called to my attention, but if | so, I have entirely forgotten it.

Judge Belcher denied a motion for a new trial made by counsel for Louis Strassman | yesterday morning, and then proceeded to ‘ sentence the prisoner to seven years’ im- prisonment in San Quentin for the crime | of perjury, of which he stood convicted. | Strassman_was a straw bondsman. He | was defended by Carroll Cook, who, when | the prosecution had finished its case, | moved that the court instruct the jury to | acquit. The motion was denied, the court | giving reasons for the denial, and Cook took exception to the remarks of the Judge in the presence of the jury, and in a great measure based his motion for a new trial upon the substance of that exception. In | his opinion Judge Belcher claims it to be | | the nherent right of the court to pass | upon matters of law submitted for judg- | ment, and this right necessarily inc{ udes | the power of giving reasons for the court’s .

The Prayers of Several Petitioners Heard by the Supervisors. | Numerous applicants for free licenses | appeared before the License and Order Committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday and presented their cases. The Caliornia Florists’ and Growers" Association sent a communication re- questing the board to refuse street flower- venders free licenses on the ground that, by reason of their peculiar way of plying their calling, they were able to undersell the regular florists, and damaged those who had large sums invested in the business. Florence C. Walker, whose card de- scribes her as a “woman editor” of a local weekly publication, appeared as the repre- sentative of the street venders, and asked that the petition be passed until the next meeting of the board. This was granted, | und the communication will come up asa special order of business on Wednesday next. Felix Steen was granted a free license for the unexpired portion of the present license term on the showing that he had been induced by a bogus license collector to pay $7 50 for an old license number. homas Hayes, an ex-member of the police force, was granted a free license on | representing that he had several mother- less children to support and was unabie to pay the fees. . Johnson, who was once a prosperous mechanic and did a large amount of sewer- cleaning for the municipality by means of a mechanical device which failed to prove prontable, was granted a free license to peddle fruit. Henry Munter, an applicant for im- munity from the importunities of the License Collector,created much amusement I certainly did not fail to attend any meet- | ing of the Civic Federation on account of | threats against my life. as had I pursued | such a course I would have remembered | the letters.” i Secretary Rogers said that a cranky let- | ter had been received, but that he doubted | whether the Mayor had read it. | “It came on a Friday,” he said, “and | was given to the Mayor on Monday. The | meeting was held on the Saturday pre- | vious, so he could not have been frightened | out of attending. The letter has not been returned to me, so that I presume that the Mayor read my summary of its contents and then tossed it into the waste-basket. ““The Mayor has not moved his desk into | adark corner to avoid being shot at by cranks from the outside, and the only | thing we fear is that some crazy individual | will be urged on to attack him by the | efforts that have been made in certain | quarters to make this simple incident prominent. Itis simply making a moun- tain out of a mole hill.” ,,,,,, — ~ WILLIAMS IS GUARDIAN, He Is Put in Charge of Mrs. Terry’'s state. Thomas H. Williams Jr. has been ap- pointed guardian of the person and estate of Sarah Althea Terry by Judge Sander- | son, who, in the absence of Judge Slack, held court in Department 10 of the Supe- rior Court yesterday. H. M. McPike, who represented Porter Ashe, the deposed guardian, was on hand with an objection. He did not sec how Williams could be ap- pointed until Mr. Ashe bad been rezulurdy removed, a proceeding, he contended, which had never taken place. The court held, however, that there was vacancy | enough to warrant the appointment, and | he made the necessary order. o i Williams was called to the stand during | the hearing and testified that the estate is worth about $4000. — o Brought From Stockton. EMark Kelly, an_ex-convict, broke into the Tesidence of Max Ordenstein, 2111 Devisadero street, on December 20 last and stole the most of Mrs. Ordenstein’s clothes. He fled to Stock- ton and was arrested there for petty larceny. His sentence expired on Tuesday and vesterday | he was brought from Stockton and locked up | in the City Prison on a charge of grand lar- ceny.

The trip before was made four days. The custom among the Pacific ship-owners of giving the offi- cers of record-breakers silk hats, suits of clothes, watches, etc., keeps Captain John Slater in a new suit of rigging and the envy of every steamer skipper on the coast. The Wilna was built at Freeport, Me., in 1880 by Brigg & Cushing and was the last wooden vessel that ever dipped into the sea from that noted ship-building place. She is 200:4 feet long, 42:1 feet in widtg and 24 feet deep and registers 1409 tons net. Her cost was $105,000, and she has been an inexhaustible mine to her owners. ‘With beam a little less than one-fourth her length she was not_built for speed, but she fooled ’em, and on her maiden voyage, young and_inexperienced in_the variable moods of the sea, she walked into Shanghai just 110 days after she left New York. etween Tesuga Straits, on the coast of Japan, and Cape Flattery she used only eighteen days. She has a remarkably clean run to her hull, and the peculiar lines of her bottom are such that she leaves the water smooth. In the free and easy vwernacular of her call- ing she “‘doesn’t drag her wake.”” Captain Slater has made a slight change in two of the sails—in splitting the spanker, making | it easier to handle, and increasing the size of the flying jib. BEAR'S NEST MINE. The Defendants Invoke the Statute of Limitation. The suit of A. 8. Renshaw against James and John Treadwell, James Carroll, M. W. Murry and N. A. Fuller, now pending in | the United States Circuit Court, has taken anew turn. For over a year the trial has been delayed by means of demurrers that were overruled and motions to dismiss that were denied. While this was going on the defendants were not required to an- swer. When - all the legal means for caus- ing delay were exhausted they, one and all, came into court yesterday and pleaded the statute of limitafion. Several years ago the defendants owned the Bear’s Nest mine on Douglas Island, Alaska., They sold it to A. S. Renshaw, an English capitalist, and when he came to work it there were no returns. According to his complaint, he then made an exam- ination and discovered that the mine had been salted. Ore from the Treadwell mine ] had been carted to the Bear's Nest, and it bout “grass” growing under some- | | action. He scored Gook for the nature of { his motion and denied it. Mr. Cook, after sentence had been passed, sked for a stay of execution and a writ of ble cause. Both were denied, but upon an appeal to the Supreme Court they were granted by Chief Justice Beatty. ‘THE QUARANTINE OFFICER. To BE APPOINTED BY THE STATE | OR BY THE FEDERAL | AUTHORITIES. Two BILLS ON THE SUBJECT ARE Now BEFORE THE LEG- ISLATURE. The appointment of a quarantine officer is causing considerable comment owing to the fight that is being made over the matter. Two bills are before the Legislature—one providing that the office shall be trans- ferred to the United States authorities and the other that the appointing power shall be vested in the Board of Supervisors. The Governor is in favor of the former proposition. The bill abolishing the office of State Quarantine Officer was introduced by Timo- thy Guy Phelps, ex-Collector of the Port. It re-enacted the old law relating to the Board of Health, but under the iead of ‘‘retrenchment and public expenditure’ the Quarantine Officer and his assistants were left out in the cold. Section 4 of the bill provides that: The State Board of Examiners are hereby authorized and required to sell at public anc- tion or at private sale, as they may deem best, the boarding steamer “‘Governor Perkins,” un- less in their opinion it can be properly put to some other service of the State, and to sell all other property of whatever kind belonging to the State,and heretofore used by the Quaran- tine Oflicer and not needed by the State, and cover the money received therefrom into the State Treasury. This bill passed the Assembly and has gone to the Senate. Later on Phelps introduced a joint reso- lution, which was passed, requesting the Federal Government to assume control of maritime quarantine matters at the port of San Francisco. In accordance with this Governor Budd has telegraphed to the Se retary of the Treasury requesting the Na- tional Government to assume control. At Angel Island the United States has established a thoroughly equipped quaran- tine station. A steamer with atl the neces- sary apparatus for fumigating infected ves- sels was built and after a few months of service was laid up on account of there being no funds wherewith to pay the nec- essary expenses. The State also supports a quarantine service which costs about $8000 a year. William M. Lawler, M.D., is the head of the office and the Governor Perkins is the steamer employed by him in boarding for- eign ships and American vessels coming from foreign waters., His appointment lies with the Board of Health and the lat- ter is appointed by the Governor. Conse- quently when a bill was introduced in the Assembly, seeking to take the appointin 'Bower out of the hands of the Board o ealth and vestitin the Board of Super- visors, there was considerable trouble. The latter body is strongly Republican, and naturally it would appoint fl%{epubli' can quarantine ofticer. Il:{:e whole matter theretore stands thus: If the United States will take control of quarantine matters in San Francisco the State will retire and thus save $8000 a vear. If Uncle Sam will not do anything in the premises then the State will have to carry on the service itself, either as an adjunctto the Board of Health or the Board of Supervisors. —————— He Took Her Child. An affidavit telling of the stealing of his child was filed by J. S. Henderson, as attorney forMrs. M. E.Lang, in Judge Troutt'’s court icsterdny- Mrs. Lang was divorced from her usband, M. H. Lang, formerly of O'Farreil & Lang, because of her cruelty to him, and he { was awarded the custody of the two children. Later on, by &n amicable settlement, Mrs. Lang was given the care of the younger child. Yes- terday, in her absence, she says her ex-husband went to her house at 1208 Bush street and took away her little girl. She wants him compelled to restore her child, and hence her appeal to the court. —_——————— Unspeakably Miserable Isthe man or woman troubled with dyspepsia.

The provisions of this | will are so monstrous when analyzed—that |isto say when understood for what they | are—that the will cannot stand. Reduced | to itssingle principle this vast estate is | handed over to the executors to do with as they wish. They may deny the nominal heirs everything, may turn them into the street. The will is so constructed asto invite the withholding of its benefits from the heirs. If the executors are honest men and do all that the heirs could expect in their behalf, still the will provides thenr an ample fortune.” “Then you don't agree with Mr. McEn- erney that the undue influence that only provides $10,000 as a bequest for itself where the possibilities run into millions would make but a poor witness in court?” “I wouldn’t think of ditagreeing with Mr. McEnerney on such a matter if that were true, but the $10,000 is a mere drop in the a[:lpenrnnce of the thing than the $10.- 000. The fact is the will provides $50,000 to each of the executors the first year, ex- clusive of bequests.” “‘Let me show you,” said Mr. Heggerty, taking up the Story. “The code fixes compensation for executors in the dis | tribution of estates, 7 per cent for the first | $1000, that is $70; 5 per cent for the next | $9000, which is $450: 4 per cent for the next | $10,000, which is $400; 3 per cent for the next §30,000, which is $900; 2 per cent for the next §50,000, which is $1000, and 1 per cent ror all above that. - Now, for the sake of the estimate and to be certain to be | within bounds, say the estate is worth [ $20,000,000. We have counted the fees on $100,000, which amount to $2820. The 1 per cent on the $19,900,000 remaining | amounts to §199,000, and foots up $201,820, to be divided between the executors the first year. “For the law provides that an estate may be distributed within a year. 1In this in- stance the executors will distribute to themselves as trustees and will continue in | that relation to the estate through the lives | of the principal heirs. They will expect | the court to name the same compensation | for subsequent service as trustee as was | - | nominated in the will, and the court would no doubt grant it, especially if the estate, | having been estimated at $20,000,000 they { report upon it as $25,000,000. And don't | you see how it is to their interest to esti- | mate it as high as may be, getting the 1 ‘IHer cent upon it, as they would? And | don’t you see how that very principle | would cause them to go slow in making | overany part of it to the children? Every | dollar they give up reduces their own ercentages. Nice arrangement, isn't it, or the children of a multimillionaire to be wholly dependent upon the good offices of their father’s clerks?’ “I have said that when we file our con- test stating our grounds the public will open its eyes,” said Mr. Knight. “We have no concealments to make or myste- ries to create_and might carry our case on our sleeve, We will leave the other side to do the mysterious, “Now, suppose that accidents or epidem- ics should carry off the heirs. In five years winding up the business of these trustees in that time they would have rounded up a neat fortune of $252,295 each in these fees alone, exclusive of the commissions and other revenues which the will puts in their hands. “Now, how like James G. Fair it was— all these liberal provisions for his former clerks? Anybody who knew him knew lently well when he paid once for any- thing, but here he reiterates his desires and binds himself to pay these men, Angus and Bresse, first, their $10,000 bequest; next, the salary which they had received from him in his lifetime is to continue without regard to the other income, and in addition to these the will especially pro- vides for commissions on all contracts to be let. etc. “‘Now, suppose that the trustees, exer- cising the power which they undoubtedly have under this will, feel called upon to develop and improve the estate, and so un- dertake to add seven stories to the Lick House, continue the work at North Beach and otherwise spend the entire income. ‘While they are doing so the heirs are to be satisfied with explanations, while the trus- teesreap handsome commissions and main- tain their big percentages. “In our contest we will call attention to the peculiar construction of this document in some other respects than have been in- dicated. For instance, Angus and Bresse are given $10,000, ‘provided they are in the employ of the testator at the time of his death.’ But in making them executors the bucket, and was put in there more for | that he considered himself as doing excel- | and trustees no such limitations are made. I In other words, if they should be di charged and sent to prison for embezzle- ment in the meantime it would cut them out of the $10,000, but they would still be the executors. Now, do you suppose Wil- liam M. Pierson drew a will like that, ex- cept at the direct order of somebody ? That provision alone indicates to me that Pier- son never sat down with Fair as his ad- visor in this matter. He simply changed into his own handwriting something that was sent to him for that purpose. Mr. Goodfellow was Fair’s personal attorney and confidential man. Why did he not draw the will? It would not” have looked right. Mr. Goodiellow knew that khis will would be closely inspected, and | all these questions raised, and he must be | in a position to say ‘I never saw the will; | 1 did not draw it?’ *‘Did Fair himself write it? Ts it likely? I can imagine his dictating to his secretary what he wanted incerporated in the wili at different times and having it sent to Pier- son, perhaps, to have it put in legal shape. And this could be done again s 1 could it not? separate clauses being Pierson until we have those seven sc half sheets of legal cap, fourteen pages s oddly worded, calling for a signature at the foot of each of thirteen pages, but hav- ing a signature at only one, the last of these thirteen and all of the first eleven which were unsigned, handing over e to the trustees. erson had had a consultation with Fair, don’t you suppose he would have asked ‘Do you S ahete Hava thede man | serve as trustees even though they have | left your service before death and you have cut them out of the $10,000 legacy?

No, Pier- | son never consulted with Fair directly; he get | did as he was di ed and he did not his words from Fair personally. “But the most significant thing in the | whole document is the provision in the | { body of it that no codicil should change any of the stipulations as to the trust.
