The Ex-Clergyman and Gallant Arrested for Disturbing the Peace. Rev. Junius Leertes Hatch, ex-Commis- sioner of Immigration, a man who is xell | known as an orator and journalist, was ar- | rested last night by A. A. Barroteau on a charge of disturbing the peace. For sev- eral days Hetch has made a practice of going to Barroteau’s house and ringine the bell violently. When answered he would inquire for Mrs. Barroteau. Although told | that Mrs. Barroteau was in Shasta County and would not be home for two months would not be satisfied. He returned veral times each day and repeated his objectionable conduct. ~ Mr. Barroteau told Hatch that he was sure his wife would not wish to meet him even if she were at home, but the old preacher persisted in calling and ringing the bell. Yesterday Hatch went | to the house in the evening and inquired for Mrs. Barroteau as usual. Barretean | was angry and told Hatch that if here- peated the ringing he would have him | arre;sted. Barroteau then went to a neigh- | bor’s house and watched. Before many minutes passed Hatch returned to the docr and rang the bell. Officer Arnest then warned Hatch not to annoy Barrotean, but the infatuated old man gave one more tug at the bell-handle and was taken to prison for disturbing the peace. Mr. Barroteau says he is sure his wife does not know Hatch, and is at aloss to account for his peculiar conduct. Hatch is a man about 65 years of age, and for some time past bhas besn very erratic in his manner. He figured prominently in the Liljegren di- vorce case, and has frequently carried food 2 'who have been imp: always acting the gall thought that his mind is giv For ng way. | many years he was a forceful editorial writer on papers on both sides of the bay.

Anna Freeman spent a considerable part of last month reclining on a couch in the window of a Washington-street druggist’s store. Her nose and mouth were liberally plastered over with patent inhalers and respirators, and she was supposed to breathe in such a manner as to induce the public to purchase the apparatus that con- cealed a portion of her face. The living advertisement was a success in one wayj but the druggist missed several packages from his window and blamed everybody but his advertisement. When he” com- municated his fears to the police and De- tective Holland went to the store, the officer simply smiled and asked Anna where she | = ee applicati or renewals of liquor licenses and copying the names of the taxpayers and propcrty- owners on the bond of the applicants.

THE REMOVAL OF DAVIDSON, Resolutions Adopted Looking to the Restoration of an Efficient Public Servant. The quarterly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday after- noon, President] W. H. Dimond in the chair. Hugh Craig introduced the follow- ing resolution: WHEREAS, Our esteemed fellow-citizen, A. N. X first vice-president ®f the Southein Pa ailroad Company, hes passed over to | the majority; and whereas, the death of a man who was so closely connected with the growth and develapment of California and who has so materially assisted in its adyancement leaves a void which it will be difficult to fill; Resolved, That the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco tenders these statements of re- spect and condolence to the bereaved widow and family. The following communication from the State Board of Trade to the Chamber of Commerce was read and placed on file: Pursuant to & motion unanimously passed by the State Board your honorable body 1s invited 10 co-operate with the sald State Board of Trade in its efforts to make an exhibit at the forth- coming Cotton States and International Exposi- tion to be held at Atlanta this coming winter. The importance of our State exhibiting at Atlanta is admitted and it is hoped by the united efforts of the different commercial ‘bodies, boards of trade and other organizations, which aim at the advancement of California’s interest, that a creditable showing can be made by this State at the said exposition. ‘We will be glad to hear from you on this sub- ject and any suggestions you may offer cal- culated to forward the main object will be thankfully received. Yours very truly, J. A. FILCHER, Secretary and General Manager. The following resolutions anent the re- moval of Professor George Davidson was | read : WHEREAS, The peremptory removal of Pro- fessor George Davidson from his position in the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey has urprised and grieved all acquainted with his | eminent services, his unimpaired energy and his valuable experience, therefore be it Resolved, That the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco respectfully, but urgently, re- quests our Senators and Répresentatives to ob- tain, if possible, the reappointment of Professor Davidson to the position he has so long occu- | pied with great advantage to the Government | and with distinguished credit to himself. | Re d, That the Government of the United States can in no way so discredit itself among the enlightened nations of the world as by dis- | missing trom 1ts service, without prior notice or compensation, its distinguished and faithfal | officers, and that the citizens of the Republic do not demand the narrow economy which gives no recognition to eminent and long con- tinued public services, which are recognized under oiher forms of. Government by titled honors and a liberal financial compensation. Resolved, That attested copies of these reso- lutions be forwarded to the President of the United States, to the Pacific Coast delegation he Treasury. On suggestion of Mr. Sneath the words | “or provision for its distinguished and | faithful officers” was inserted in place of | the words “and a liberal financial com- | pensation.” The resolutions were then | adopted by a rising vote and the meeting adjourned. LATEST BERKELEY ITEM, | Protests Against Awarding the { School Board’s Contract for Supplies. Casey Charged With Stealing Wood. A Bicycle Accident—The Water Malns. The Board of Education held a meeting on Monday evening, but before they had proceeded far several protests against their method of awarding the contract for school supplies for the coming year con- fronted them. J. L. Scotchler and E. P. Bancroft, representing supply houses, ob- jected to the proposed action of the board on the ground that the published notice to contractors did not state that it was the intention of the board to award the con- tract for one year, or for any specified term; that the notice merely called for proposals to furnish a specified number and specified descriptions of furniture. The distribution of supplies was made to the lowest bidder on certain goods, while others who bid lower on a specified num- I:er \tvere awarded that portion of the con- ract. After a lengthy discussion the matter was referred back to the Committee on Sup- plies, with power. A special meeting of the board has been called for this evening 1o consider the assignment of teachers, A Suspicious Character. -A stoutly built man, giving the name of Henzey and purporting to be an employe of Mickkelsen & Berry, the Center-street tailors, has been going the rounds among the boarding-house keepers of this place and securing as wmany meals as possibie without paying for them. On Monday evening heapplied for board and room at a house on Dana street, and finding that he could not secure the room, asked if he could take his meals there, say- ing that he had just gone to work for the tatloring firm mentioned and would like & ‘“nice, quiet boardin§ place.” The land- lady gave him his dinner, and becoming suspicious of his actions, made inquiry as to whether he had been employea by the tailors, but found that no such man every had any dealings with them. Yesterday morning at about 3 o’clock a man answering the same description of “Henzey” wuas seen prowling about the yard of a fraternity-house on Channing way, but was driven off by a dog before ac- complishing any theft beyond carrying off a monkey-wrench. Helped Himself to Wood. John Casey, a resident of University avenue, was arrested yesterday inorning upon complaint of Contractor Riner, for appropriating timber taken from the Oxford-street wooden culvert, which is now being replaced with concrete. Mr. Riner holds the contract for putting in the new culvert, and claims that the wood taken from the old culvert belongs to him. Casey was released from custody on $500 bonds. Injured by a Bicycle. Willie Risdenpart, an 1l-year-old boy, living on Fulton street, was seriously in- jured on Monday evening by becoming en- tangled in the wheels of a bicycle. He was riding u{r1 and down the street near his home, when his long overalls caught in & wheel of the machine and threw him vi lently upon his side and shoulder. Upon examination it was found that his right shoulder was dislocated, the elbow frac- tured and the arm broken abuve the elbow joint. New Water Mains. Pipes were laid yesterday on Shattuck avenue, from Dwight way to Asby ave- nue, for the now water mains which are to supply South Berkeley. CHRISTIANS AND SOOIETY. Rev. Mr. Dupuy’s Address to the Insti- tute of Applied Christianity. Rev. E. J. Dupuy addressed the Institute ©of Applied Christianity last evening on'the theme, “Christianity Applied to Society.” Mr. Dupuy said: Christianity is not applied to existing condi- tions. Ifis nynt ap] Me?to the sarv’.n‘t‘gofohthe and waat is calied a room, n Congress and to the honorable Secretary of | l but is oftener a mere closet, are provided, em- ployers think their dm{J s done. They care nothing for the souls of those servants. There is a class distinction in the playhouses. One man is only able l?é:ny 10 cents. He sits up aloft and looks with envy upon his brother enjoying a cushioned seat at $1 below. There is a.greater discrimination when the fallen brothers and sisters are considered. Nearly every family has its biack sheep. Is he cast off? Not often. The mother weeps, the father is solemn, the sisters and brothers are troubled ; but they love him and care for him still. So should the erring sisters and brothers of hu- manity be treated. So dong as these social lines of demarcation are drawn there will be envy and hatred and struggle. Mr. Dupuy deplored the preference for private schools. He believed chil- dren should mingle without regard to class in the public schools. They should be more carefully regarded for that fact, but they should assemble in that juvenile democracy. He closed by saying that it is in the spirit of the Good Samartan that the work of aiding the needy and better- ing the race should be done. ‘‘The greed of wealth is the bane of the present.’” In reply to a question, Mr. Dupuy said the United States had shown itself to not be a Christian nation by the decision made 1n reference to the opening of the World's Fair on Surday. ‘‘In a numerical sense the church is stronger now than in the earlier history of the country, but in the quality of spirituality it is weaker,” he said. Dr. M. F. Underwood said: ‘“Most re- formatory measures try to work through effects to causes. That is the wrong order. There should be a well-spring of love in the heart flowing toward all humanity. We should not give our brothers a loaf of broad and then love him; we should give him the loaf because we love him.” John Gore said there was a time when brute force ruled. Later in the world’s history the power of intellect held sway. The era now at hand is one of the domina- tion of goodness. R. F.” Ryfkogle exgres_sed the opinion that the growth of the liquor traffic justi- fied J)emmists in their belief that the world is growing worse. William McConnell said the way to do away with the liquor trafficis to do away with the profits on it. Dr. Scott said: “Society without en- vironment cannot_become what it should be. We cannot bring the blade of corn to the full ear until the soil is luxuriant. Proper organization should precede the conversion of society.” Rev. J. W. Cruzan said he had once read that the golden rule is the foundation of politeness and spoke in an amusing strain of the glaring exceptions to that rule. Mme. Marshall thought conscience should be the guides in such matters. Servants should be thanked for their ser- vice, no matter what society says to the contrary. She believed ladies should not require servants to say they are not at home when they are, but send to the caller a kind message, saying it is impos- sible to see her. J. 8. Clark said: “Whatever society may dictate the teaching of Christ is the only rule necessary for a Christian. He -hias set an_example that is unmistakable.” Rev. G. W. Henning will give his lecture, A Fallen Nation,” before the institute next Tuesday evening. —_—-——— REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. illlam_Cluf?, lot on 8 line of 6 1£ 0f Buchanan, K 137:6 by P. J.

Attorney Goodfellow’s statement that he had two more wills, made at the instiga- tion of the late James G. Fair, has caused & good deal of comment. Concerning this statement Governor Budd, who was re- tained by Charles Fair as consulting at- torney and legal adviser shortly after the death of his father, said yesterday: I have of late been unable to follow the case as closely as I would like to, owing to the enormous amount of business at Sacramento. My connection with the case was the result of the absence of Mr. Knight at its beginning. I ‘wes called in by Charles Fair as adviser. At that time I was thoroughly posted in re%ard to all the points involved, and many months ago was aware that Mr. Goodfeliow had two more wills in his possession. You will remember, however, that an_ ap- plication for an order of the court to produce all papers in the case was overruled, and at that time Attorneys Goodfellow and McEnerney made an affidavit to the effect that they had no will later than the date of the one submitted. That, of course, was stated to-day by Mr. Me- Enerney, but I knew, as did others of Mr. Charles Fair's attorneys, that Mr. Goodfellow had other wills in his possession. ‘What would the appearance of other wills by James G. Fair indicate? Simgly that he was inclined to jump from one idea to another. It would be good evi- dence that he was not settled upon his desires in any one of them. That, however. has no Klrl_lcullr significance in the discussion, nor &8 it any great weight from a legalstandpoint. What welght would the Craven will have in court Well, its weight depends upon whether it can be proven to be genuine. Even if itis there are other questions to be settled which are of more importance. You see the Craven will does not make any radical changes over thoee which Charles Fair has been contesting for. Tses by the evening papers that Dr. Lev- ingston’s name is mentioned in connection with the Craven will, and itis suggested that he would use the same by dragging himself into court with it, seeking to petition for spe- cial letters in the matter.” Ican only say that his connection with the case and the possibil- ity of his being Health Officer never had any connection. What he proposes to dois not known tome, but I am_ positive the Craven ‘will and his political lmbr from_one another. Aside from these points that I have outlined to you I am not able to discuss the Fair wills at great length, and had no intimation that the public was in posses- sion of the fact that Mr. Goodfellow had two other wills until you informed me of it. If the trust will is smashed there is no will. It is well known around San Fran- cisco that previous to the date of the trust will Charles Fair and his father had a dis- ‘agreement which resulted in the Senator making a will disinheriting the boy. A contest of the trust will resulting’in its smashing would cause the opposition to bring forth the will disinheriting him, which is one of the two wills now in the possession of Attorney Goodfellow. In the event of his not smashing the trust will he will be disinherited by its terms, but at this juncture the law is ex- pected to step in and decide, according to the, cc:de, that a trust cannot be created under such conditions in law. This trust will is the strong hold of the opposition and an attempt will be made to secure 1ts aamission to probate, which can- not occur so long as the trust clause pre- vails. Ifit is admitted to probate that sec- tion referring to trusts will be eliminated, and in that event the trust, which is prac- tically the managing agent of the estate, will be_ wiped out, and the control thus passes into the hands of the legatees and the devisees, of which Charles Fair is one. If he accomplishes this result he will get all the money left him after due adminis- tration. The Craven will provides for about the same things as the trust will with the trust clause wiped out. JOINING IN THE OONTEST. Charles L., Fair's Bisters File Their Answer in the Test Cage. An answer was filed yesterday by Theresa A. Oelrichs and Virginia Fair in the test suit brought by their brother, Charles L. Fair, against them and the trustees of the Fair estate. The sisters espouse the cause of their brother in test- ing the right of the executors to control the estate. d Confessing judgment as far as possible and practically joining their brotherin the suit the sisters say: Now come the defendants, Herman Oelrichs, Theresa A. Oelrichs and Virginia Fair, and for answer to the complaint herein admit that the plaintif, Charles ir, and_the defendants, ‘heresa A.

Fair, one undi- vided one-third partin said Theresa A.

They furiher admit that they have been in- formed and verily betieve that the defendants, Angus, Bresse, Crothers and Goodfellow, assert that they are trustees under an alleged will of James G. Fair, deceased, and as such trustees, and also as individuals, claim an estate or in- terest in said property adverse to the sald plaintiff, Charles L. Fair, and the said Theresa A. Oelrichs and Virginia Fair, and said de- fendants admit that said claims of said Angus, Bresse, Crothers and Goodfellow are withou any right or foundation in law orequity, and were not at the time of the commencement of this action.

An Insurance Company Will Refuse to Pay the Death Loss, Claiming Fraud. A very interesting contest is now in progress over the life insurance policy of ‘William 8. Thompson, the boarding-house master, who died on the 9th of last May. About three months before Thompson died he was insured in the Life Insurance Clearing Company of St. Paul. The com- pany became suspicious of the sudden death and instructed its agent to inquire into the matter. R. C.” Milliken, the agent of the com- pany, arrived here ten days ago. “From all I can learn,” said Mr. Milli- ken yesterday, “Thompson died of tuber- culosis. I have talked to many who knew him in life, and they tell me that he had consumption for at least three years before his death. Dr. Vaccari, who aftended him in his last moments, certified that he had died of pneumonia. Dr. McQuestin ex- amined him on December 29, and on his recommendation the company accepted Thompson. “The 1life insurance company does what is called an under-average insurance business, and accepts people who are re- jected by other companies on the grounds of family history. There may have been an hereditary complaint in his family, but as long as he is sound in health, he is taken.” Dr. McQuestin, who examined Thomp- son, said yesterday that he had given the man a second-rate certificate, Dr. Vaceari, who certified to the death of Thompscn, said that he died from catarrhal pneumonia. He did not examine him for tuberculosis, as he had to deal with pneumonia. Special Agent Milliken has offered to compromise the case for $175, and says that he will not pay a cent more. The offer of compromise has thus far been refused, and developments are awaited with interest. Thompson was once a policeman, and was sent to San Quentin for murder. While drunk one night he killed a man on Morton street. He was pardoned out of S8an Quentin and engaged in_the sailor boarding-house business. Milliken says that he has proof that Dr. Vaceari treated tne deceased for consump- tion. - Nobles in the Army. Of the sixty-six generals in the German army all but two are nobles.
