THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1896. 5 THELAWYERS ALL AT SEA. Don’t Know Just What They'll| Do in the Matter of the Fair Will. VAN R. PATERSON TO FIGHT. His Clients’ Interests Demand It, But | They Have No Money. Hopes for Aid. | Ex-Judge Paterson, attorney for the | m:mor heirs under the earliest of the Fair wills, in an interview yesterday annouaced his determination to maintain his opposi- | tion to the probate of the pencil will, no matter what aititude the attorneys for | Clarley Fair and the sisters migit take. This may not appear to be news, but it is. For when Mr. Paterson made his pro- test before Judge Slack on Friday it was not the irretrievable crossirg of the Rubi- con that it may have seemed. Mr. Paterson; is in a peculiar position, | and George A. Knight says “his eyes are | even now turned invitingly to me.” | The whole situation concerning the Fair estate is in a most interestingly compli- | cated condition and offers an inviting op- | portunity to some newspaper having the | coupon habit to open a guessing contest. | Delmas & Shortridge, who have precipi- | tated the trouble in the interest of the legatees of the pencil will, are said to have | things locked up in their safe in the | Crocker building that “puzzles the wise” of all the army that represents the other | interests. | Charles Heggerty says so—says he has heard so, and believes it is true. | He does not say what the things areor | whether they were alive or not. e says, | however, that the army of lawyers for the | Fair children are going to caucus to-day | or to-morrow and will determine whether | they are *‘for or agin’’ the pencil will. The indications are that the lawyers | who were lately opposing each other over | the probate of the trust will have been brought together by what they look upon asa common danger and will unite in their opposition to the probate of the Lev- ingston or pencil will. They do not admit this, to be sure, and interviews had with a | nomber of them yesterday brought outa variety of rather divergent views. “It 1s very unfortunate that Mr. Delmas has made this move at this time,” said Mr. Heggerty, called away from his Sun- day dinner at the interesting juncture just preceding the introduction of the last coursé. *“‘He has forced upon us the necessity of declaring ourseives for or against the pencil wiil. I think itisun- fortunate for him. I must confess that we are in a ticklish position. I cannot just say what we will do. We will determine | that to-morrow or next day. There are features of the situation that cannot be discussed in public, but which are calcu- | ldted to influence our action. The other | side know what they are. “There are docnments locked up in the safe of Delmas & Shortridge that they tbreaten to spring upon us. We want to | get the thing settied—secured some way against the crop of alleged widows and orphan children that keeps growingand | multiplying through every chauging sea- | son.” I never liked that pencil will, you | w that,”” said George Knight. “I'am id this move of Mr. Delmas will force | s to line up with ex-Judge Paterson and t the probate of that will. I can’tsay. | ‘Il know more about it in a few days. 1 may say, however, that my ciient really | fares better under the pencil will than | the other. But I wanted to get this matter | settled up and out of htigation. That ‘SL why I dismissed the contest in the other. | What is new in politics?” Another of the counsel for Charley Fair and the sisters said: ‘‘Thisis the situ: tion—you wantto know it from the po: tion of a man up a tree, don’t you? Well, the court has declared that the trust clause in the trust_wiil, the .one the chil- dren were contesting, will not hold—has knocked that clause out. That clause is all the children objected to. “With that clause knocked out there is | really no material difference be‘ween the | two wills. The first will leaves $500,000 to | charities, and the income of the estate, which is held in trustfor thechildren, and | after their death the estate proper is to be | divided among their children—the grand- | children. With the trust knocked out, the | charity bequests are the same, and the | children get the estate’ at once. Under the pencil will there are some few thousand dollars’ difference in the charity and other bequests—searce!ly worth mentioning—ard the body of the estate goes to the children | at once. “‘So I see nothing for us, who represent the children,sodo but wait and watch. | Under the earlier will the trustees were | Angus, Crothers, Goodfellow and Bresse. Under the second the executors are An- | gus, Crothers and Marc Levingston. If you were an heir would it matter to you which of these got the fees. In the one Levingston is substituted for Goodfellow | and Bresse, but that would not worry you | much, would it? Well, as much may be £aid for us. No, we are in a rocking chair, | eqluslly comfortable whichever way it | rides. | As for Mr. Paterson, who represents | minor children of the brothers and other | relatives of Mr. Fair, his interest amounts | to a few thousand dollars more under the | trust will than under the vencil will. But | his interest is wholly dependent on the ; trust clause which the SBuperior Court has | knocked out. He will, of course, look care- | fully after the interests of his clients. Judge | Paterson’s name stands for that. To my | view, however, Herman Oelrichs Jr. has no standing in courtin any case. AsIhave | said, I cannot say that it is any of our | affair to interfere.” | Ex-Judge Paterson said this: “I am a | liétle_puzzled what to do. My children— | my clients bave no money. I have no no- | tion of what assistance I'will get from the | three heirs, if any. I wish I did. Mr. Delmas, in admitting my right to approve the probate, secures his jury. That is what he wanted. My objection to a jury | is the great expense that attaches. As I have said, my children have no :acney. If| Marc Levingston secures the probate of | the pencil will, then he has the funds of the estate to draw from to fight any other | William Q.

CAUSE OF GENERAL STRIKE Concession by Association, by United Shops, or Demand by Paint- Dealers. Nearly 1500 journeymen painters in this City are not at work, and their rapidly verfected strike shows a stronger front daily. To-day about forty more painters will be initiated into the union. of non-union painters at work in the City is so insignificant that the strikers declare and are confident that they control the situation. M. A. Roberts, secretary of the Alameda County Federated Trades, called at head- quarters in the Temple last night and pledged his vote and the moral and finan- | cial support of the organiz: ion he repre- sented to stand by the striking painters of San Francisco. He declared that the sen- timent in Alameda is that the painters are in the right, and are notasking any unjust demands. The great majority of other labor trades in this City have, witha very few excep- tions, sent messages of sympathy to the union men on strike and have gnaranteed financial aid if it become necessary. The bricklayers, the plumbers, the cornice makers are all union men and are sympa- thetic although they are not in the Buila- ing Trades Council. So far the strikers have asked no finan- cial aid either of other unions or of the public. On the contrary they are inde- pendent. *‘Ifnecessary,” explained one of the men last night. “‘we are prepared to rent a house, furnish it, and lo¢ge and board the needy on strike, and we have funds to do it.” To-night the painters will hold a meet- ing and attempt to arrive at a final line of action to bring the strike to an end. But there is no talk of a compromise. Their fear is that if the strike continues much longer 1t will spread to neighboring | towns beyond the power of anything to prevent it. Andi it holds until the first week in April the painters think tbat fully 15,000 men will be out of employ- ment through the extension of the inter- linked trades unions aciing in sympathy with the original movers. “The strike could be settled,” said Al- bert Falen, ‘“‘in one of three ways: First— by the Master Painters’ Association acced- ing to our demands; sécond—by the shops outside of the Association and represent- ing a much larger number of master paint- to our demand: third—by the wholesaie paint dealers inviting and demanding that the master painters accede to the journey- men painters’ demands.”’ There are two propositions mooted for to-night’s meeting: Shall the journeymen painters form a co-operative union and go into active competition with the so-called master painters? Or shall they go back to those master ceded to their demands, will agree not to sublet contracts to nor take them from the objectionable master painters? “The real reason why we called the gen- eral strike,” explained R. T. MclIvor, the | business agent of the strikers, “was be- | | cause we found that some employers who | The number | painters who, having ac- | the highest wages, and without any com- pulsion. It is believed by some of the strikers that favorable arrangements can be made with | the great majority of the master painters, and then a freeze-out game can be begun against the Master Painters’ Association. _As there has been a call for work in out- side towns the strikers have supplied the demand from their number. Because of the small amount of painting done in neigh- boring towns jast year the prospects are goud for this season S g SOCIALISTS AROUSED. . | The American Branch Indorses the Striking Painters’ .

PeE A Shinglers’ Union, A call has been issued for the shinglers | to meet at 115 Turk street next Thursday | evening for the purpose of forming a | shinglers’ union. On that night the Build- | ing Trades Council will hold a meeting and the new union as soon as organized will send 1ts delegates to the council.

THE LANGHAM HOTEL. Remodeled and Brought Thoroughly Up to Date in Every Feature. The remodeling of the Langham Hotel, | at the corner of Mason and Ellis streets, | which has been in progress for eight | months past, is completed, and it is now the best arranged hotel in ‘the State. One | feature of the reconstructed house is the | office. The woodwork is of oak, highly volished; the floor is of marble, and the walls and ceilings are beautifully designed | and are frescoed in buff and gold. Over the handsome plate-glass bay-windows in | |-ers forming an organization and acceding 1 the front of the office is a pretty conserva- | tory. The private entrance to the left of the office is finished in the same style as the latter. From a large lobby in the rear of the office five flights of broad stairs and a new Crane electric elevator give access to the upper floors. - The house has been refurnished throughout and all the | appointments ave first-class in every par- | ticular. There are some twelve beautiful | suites with baths attached, and. there are | numerous other suites and single rooms as | well. On the first floor is a lavatory and baths with porceiain tubs, finished in martle and hardwood. On each of the other floors are separate lavatories for la- dies and gentlemen, each containing two orcelain batbtubs.

You may gay that I will fight. The interests of my clients demand that of me and it will bea Jong and bitterly contested fight. I fully appreciate the great interestsat stake on the other side. But our interests are even greater, for_under the pencil will we get nothing. Under the trust will the whole | estate nltimately comes to us.”” H Mr. Deimas for the Levingston or pencil wiil said: *“We have undertaken to secure | the recognition and probate of the pencil will, which we believe to be the last will and testament of Mr. Fair. The matter is before the court. It will come up mnext ¥riday arvd will then be set for trial, prob- ably io a day certain.

The only way was to clean up the whole market. “My private opinion is that the best way out of the strike is for the painters to g0 back to the employers that are willing to do the right thing and taen to continve the war against the unfavorable em- plovers.” The strike is virtually in the hands of i the Labor Council, although the Painters’ Union bas the right to settle its own affairs. But the principle isone tnat af- fects all the building trades; it 1s the card system. Each uniop man carries his cre- dentials on a card and he refuses to work on a job on which 2 non-union man is em- ployed. By the extension of the principle union carpenters, for instance, would dis- f continue "work on a building if a non- union painter were employea there and refused to accept an application to join the Painters’ Union. The great fizht is against what is known i as the Master Painters’ Association of the Pacific Coast, the only organization of em- plo{el‘! of journevmen painters. But the strikers assert that the pest and most re- s}aonslble firms of the city do not belong to the association. they will admit that the association com- prises forty firms in the City, but they de- clare that there are 150 shops not in the association and among them the best pay- ing and largest concerns in town.

Judge. HE WAS AN ABLE LEADER. His Most Likely Successor Is Said to Be Dr. J. D. Buck of Cincinnati. Theosophists from nearly every part of this State joined their brothers and sisters of the local organization last nirht ata meeting held in Red Men’s Hall on Post | street. They had assembled to comfort | one another in their sadness over the death of their president, leader and friend, William Q. Judge. | the local society and a member of. the | National executive board, stated the ob- | ject of the assemblage. Subsequently he called upon a number of brothers and sis- ters, residents of distant cities, to make brief addresses. Those who responded were: Mrs. Russell of Santa Cruz, who related an incident of the persistency of William Q. Judge in advocating theosophy. She | told how for weeks the great man held meetings in a hall he hired for that pur- | pose. It made no difference to lhim | whether or not he had an audience. Finally one day a newspaper reporter | heard of this peculiar man, who talked to a house full of empty chairs, and he went there to report the ;ecture. After that Mr. Judge never lacked a large audience. Thomas Slater spoke at length on the subject of Mr. Judge’s writings. dents in great goodness of heart. Mrs. Dr. Patterson of San Diego and Mrs. Mnxcie M. Thirds also spoke briefly. ‘The one point which came out in all the addresses was, *“Who is to ‘succeed the dead leader?” This, some of the speakers averred, was the inquiry when Mme. Blavatsky died. The answer was not long in coming, for the reins. Dr. J. . Buck of Cincinnati will, it is thougiit, undoubtedly become the presi- dent. Both he and Mr. Judge were in this City at the time of the Midwinter Fair in attendance upon the congress of religions, before which both spoke. J. D. Buck, M.D., is about 55 years old. For many years he was dean of the Pulte Medical "Collegze of Cincinnati. He has been connected with the Theosophical So- ciety since its earliest days. ; He is a large and broad man, physically aswell as mentally. He is a genial, whole- souled, erudite and able leader. He is the author of **A Study of Man,” “Chris- tos” and a number of pamohlets. Unaui- mously elected vice-president of the So- ciety of Theosophists in America he had full’ knowledge of the probability that he would some day have to assume the leadership at the death of William Q. Judge. He was trusted by Mme. H. P. Blavatsky and the entire sociery. At one time he represented the society at the world’s parliament at Chicago and at the Congress held in this City. In speaking of William Q. Judge last evening Dr. Jerome A. Anderson said: “William Q. Judge was born in Dublin, Ireland, April 13, 1551, and was the son of Frederick H. Judge and Alice Mary Quan. “*His childhood was speat in his native city, but when he wask 13 years of age, his mother having died, the family moved to the United States, arriving in’ New York in 1864 on the City of Limerick. “Atthe age of seven he suffered a terr- ble illness, which caused a remarkable change in his whole being, and his parents found it necessary to study thecnild anew. During canvalescence he manifested a peculiar aptitude for learning, and asearly as his eighth year began to show deep in- | terest in religion, magic, Rosicrucianism and the book of reveiations. “‘Subsequenily he became a great reader oi books on mesmerism, on phrenology and on character reading. ~Shortly after arriving in America he be- gan his first empleyment as a clerk. Then be entered the law office of George P. Andrews, afterward Judge of the Supreme Courtof New York. 2 “On coming of age, in1872, he was natur- alized and within a month thereafter was admitted to the bar. He attained success in his profession; particularly in commer- cial law, which was his specialty. “In 1874 Elia M. Smith of Brookiyn be- | came his wife, and she now survives him. **When, in 1875, the whole world was at- tracted to the subject of “‘spirit’’-rappings the met Mme. H. P. Blavatsky, and to- gether with her and Colone[ Olcott founded the Theosophic Society. After the depart- ure of his co-founders for India he assumed the leadership of the society in America, and later, when it was organized into a section, he became its general secretary. “For many years he was the mainstay of the society, intellectually and financially, and devoted atl the proceeds of a very large legal gractice to the work, the resuit being that he died a poor man. 5 “Four years ago, wnen the society had a phenomenal growth attained such size that Mr. Judge found it hecessary to devotc all his time to it, he abandoned his profession in order to do so. “A year ago there was a division in the original society, and the entire American section and parts of other sections formed an independent body, united by the prin- elected president first of the American branch and afterward of the Theosophic Society in England and in Australia. ‘“‘A quiet, unassuming man, his chief power lay in his ethical teachings. He was & tireless worker, devoting in later years his days and large parts of%m nights to his profession and to his writing and study. His death resulted from consump- tion, aggravated by overwork. *‘His first writings, published anony- mously with the titie, ‘Letters That Have Helped Me,’ were considered by almost every onein the society, whether triendly to him or not, as the work of an adept. ~ Other publiched works of his are, ‘Ecnoes From the Orient’ and ‘The Ocean of Theosophy.’ “During the last ten years he wrote almost 1nnumerable magazine articles, published principally in the Magazine ot Theosophy, which at times was nearly tilled witi his contributions under differ- ent pseudonyms.”” There ure between 4000 and 5000 Theoso- phists in this country. The avowed ob- jects of the society are first to form the nucleus of a brotherbood of mankind. This is the ouiy object to which students are required to subscribe upon becoming members. The other two objects are sub- sidiary and not compulsery upon mem- bers. These are to study Eastern and Aryan scieaces and philosophies and to acquire knowledee of the psychic powers latent in man. ———————— Armed Like a Pirate.

They Stole $10 and Were Arrested by Sergeant Hodgkins at the Theater. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Fraxcisco CALL,) 908 Broadway, March 22. .} The three little burglars arrested Instl night are still in the City Prison, and there | does not appear to be any hope of their; | being released on bail, as their parents are { in poor circumstances and quite unable to secure an adequate bond. E They were visited by their parents this morning, but the little fellows expressed no sorrow over their escapade, and are evi- dently not of the kind that are made the heroes of Sunday-school stories. As the babies, for they appeared as such, saton a bench to-day and told Detective Holland again the story of their midnight raid on the grocery-store, it seemed almost impossible to believe that they were telling the truth. Robert Ash is barely fourteen years old, Chicken Pacheco is just eleven and Frank de Rocca is but ten, and yet they possess more nerve than was shown by Majors and Wilmore, the two pioneers in the boy-burglary business in Oakland. ““We should never have thouzht of it if we hadn’t read in the papers abont those boys who did twenty bpurglaries,” said Chicken Pacheco, who is certainly the most garrulous of the trio. *“When we saw Mitchell’s store at 803 Castro street, we thought that we ought to be able to get some money if we could only get to his till. We just wanted lo get some good { things, and that’s why we broke into the store. We were all so frightened that we only took the money, some cigarettes, to- bacco and twine. We knew we were doing wreng all the time. I wanted to go to 'Frisco and see the big City, because me | and Bob have never been there. We just | threw stones at the window, and it broke. Nobody came, so we went in.” The lads only secured about $10 and then they packed their pockets with cigar- ettes and went out for a good time. Afrer purchasing some trousers and hats and «aking a ride on hired safeties they went to the matinee at the Oakland Theater. Here two of them were arrested, but De Rocca ran off and was caught at Fifth and Clay streets. Chief Lloyd talked to the lads and does not quite know what to think about them. { *“The little fellows are ordinary street boys i and have evidently beer: allowed to roam tke streets at all hours of the day and night, but it is impossible that they {can ~be schooled in crime,” said Chief Llovd. *They are a study. They say that they got the idea of breaking into that store from- reading about Majors and Wilmore. 1t seems strange that they should not have paid some attention to the fact that these two boys are now serv- ing ten years apiece in San Quentin for their crimes. The whole thing seems to have been spontaneous on their part. They only made up their minds to rob the store in the afternoon, and at night it was done. I suppose they will be'sent to Ione, but even there does not seem to be the meer lace for such lads.” * The lads followed the tactics of the former boy burglars very ciosely. When Majors and Wilmore biew open Girard’s sate they went into a shed and waited over an hour to see if ail was safe. Then they went back and compieted the job. The three little fellows now in prison threw stones through the store win- dow, and after waiting over half an hour they crept through the holes and robbed the'till. The lads all admit that they knew they were doing wrong, but they show no inclination to cry over their ar- rest.

HIS WONDERFUL VITALITY {Din Murphy Lives With a Knife Thrust in the Apex of His Heart. STABBED BY A CANDY PEDDLER Dr. Bunnell Says It Is the Most Re. markable Case He Has Ever Met With. Daniel Murphy, 19 years of age, was stabbed in the breast last night by Solo- mon Grodner, a candy peddler. The re- markable feature of the affair was that the wound did not prove immediately fatal. The story of the trouble ax learned from the interested parties and eyewitnesses indicates that both were to blame. Mur- phy lives with his parents at 5 Eddy place, between Powell and Mason streets. He is employed in the plumbing business. Grodner has for a long time peddled candy in front of the Tiveli and has always been regarded as a good natured, harmless.fel- low. Last evening he got into a quarrel with young Murphy and the latter dealt him a blow in the face which knocked the candy peddler down and raised a large lump on his cheek. He retreated into a cigar stand to repair damagesand he states that he took out his pocketknife to scrape the mud off his hat. Grodner returned to the sidewalk and again met Murphy, who was in com pany with half a dozen or more young men of his own age. Whether he repeated the assault or Grodner was the aggressor was not learned, for the interested parties tell different stories. Murphy’s friends state that the candy- peddler deliberately stabbed the young man, but Grodner says that he was scrap- ing the mud off his hat with his knife, when Murphy renewed the assault, and in the struggle the wound was inflicted. He denied tnat be stabbed Murphy. The wounded man staggered into the arms of his companions and was led to a drugstoye near by, and Officer Royce tele- phoned for the patrol wagon. Grodner was arrested and charged with an assault to commit murder. Murpby bled freely, and it was feared that he would not reach the Receiving Hospital alive. Dr. Bunnell made a _care- ful examination of the wound and found that the knife had entered the body between the fifth and sixth ribs, and had venetrated the apex of the heart. The internal hemorrhage was alarming, par- ticularly as the pulse could not be detected. Dr. Bunnell stated that it was the most remarkable case he had ever met with, and that if the young man lives it will be still more remarkable, as the muscles at the apex of the heart have been punctured.
