THE SAN. FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1896. STAFEFORLOS | ANGELES RICHES, Espiritu Leonis’ Property Again Involved in Litigation. SHE SUES AN ATTORNEY Seeks to Set Aside Deeds Which She Claims Were Secured by Fraud. MAY LOSE A VAST ESTATE. Troubles of the Woman Who Proved Herse!f Miguel Leonis’ Widow. 328 SouTH BROADWAY, Los AxGELEs, CAL., July 24. By thetime Espiritu Leonis gets through with the lawyers there won’t be much left of her half of the Miguel Leonis estate. There began yesterday afternoon before Court Commissioner Rollins an examina- tion that will occupy a month or two, and during which it is expected to examine from 125 to 175 witnesses from all parts of the county. The proceedings in the suit are brought by Espiritu Leonis to secure an accounting from Laurent Etchepare, and set aside deeds which she had mads to him, which virtually swallowed up her entire estate, the original amount being estimated at $125,000 in real property, and $10,000 in cash-and other personal prop erty. The long and successful fight made by Espritu to establish herself as Miguel's widow after his death is still remembered. The value of the estate, as variously esti- mated, is from $300,000 to $1,000,000. Dur- ing her fight she appointed Etchepare as her agent, and in writing agreed to give him 10 per cent of the vaiue of the interest recovered. This was in 1889, and Etche- pare acted as her agent for years. In the execution of his trust he advanced Espiritu money and supplied her with provisions, and she executed the deeds in controversy. He clalms that the advances made by him far exceeded the interest which she left after settling with her attorneys, com- puting the various amounts so advanced atabout $32,000. But Espiritu denies this and claims that such large amounts were not advanced to her. She alleges that her agent procured her signature to the deeds by undue influence. The case has been referred to Commis- sioner Rollins for investigation, and as there are a great many items to be inves- tigated, involving the procuring of wit- nesses from nearly every part of the county, the magnitude of the examination may be imagined. Los ANGELES OFFICE or THE CALL} OPEN TRADE WITH JAPAN., Advantages of the Proposed Steamship Line Discussed. LOS ANGELES, Can, July 24.—Sho Nemoto and Foraji Kusakado, accredited representatives of the Government of Japan, held a conference with the execu- tive board of the Merchants’ and Manu- facturers’ Association of this city this evening, with a view of making plans for the establishing of a steamship line from Japan to S8an Diego for the mutual inter- cbange of commodities. Sho Nemoto, who is a graduate of the Oakland High School and of the Univer- sity of Vermont, presented the matter to the board in an able and lucid manner. He said that his country stood in great need of many things which Southern Cali- fornia could supply, such as canned beef and mutton, oil, iron, milk, butter and sugar, and that cotton, of which his Gov- ernment wanted large quantities, could be sent from a Southern California port much cheaper than via New York. Cot- ton from the United States, he said, was far superior to that from India, the source of the present supply to Japan. Mr. Nemoto was followed by Mayor Ra- der, Editor Osborne, Santa Fe Manager Wade, President Jacoby of the Board of Trade, and others. The Japanese commissioner said the president of the steamship company which proposed to establish this line was now in San Francisco, on his way to Southern California; that the concern had $6,000,000 of capital and was guaranteed a subsidy from the Government of Japan to carry forward the enterprise; tl San Diego was one of the finest harbors in the world for such an enterprise. SAN DIEGO, CaL., July 24.—Messrs. Nemoto and Kuskado, the gx anese here in the interest of a steamsbip line between Yokohama and S8an Diego, were taken over the city this morning and by special train out on the National City and Otay Railroad, in order to obtain a good ides of the bay region. They will leave this afterncon for the City of Mexico and South America to in- vestigate the possibilities of commerce between Japan and Spanish-American countries. Soichiro Asano, a proteze of Kisen Kaisha of the Oriental Steamship Com- pany, which intends to make its Ameri- can terminus here, will be here in two weeks for the purpose of looking after ter- minal facilities and subsidies. A. H. Butler, a former San Diegan, now purchasing agent in the United States for the cotton factories of Japan, and who directed the attention of the Japanese Government to this harbor, will arrive here from Yokohama August 6. The new line has arranged for six steamers of from 4000 to 6000 tons each, and the vessels are expected to be on the route in six months. The Santa Fe officials intimate that traffic arrangements have been made with the new line. e LONG BEACH CHOSEN, Made the Permanent Home of a Chau- taugua Assembly. LOS ANGELES, Cav:, July 24.—This was the closing day of the Chautauqua as- sembly at Long Beach. According to a statement by President Weller the ses- sion has been one of the most profitable in the history of the association. One im- portant question in connection with this Chautauqua has been definitely settled, viz.: the future home of the assembly. On this point the following resolution was passed unanimously: Resolved, That as Long Beach, at a mass. meeting of its citizens, resolved to raise for the purpose of providing a home for the summer schools that have become a perma- nent feature of our urnnultlon.-uum(ng that this $500 as & beginning furnishes buil ings for the summer schools, we recommend immedinte incorporation of the association, ::un Long Beach ss the principal place of busi- ess. After a highly interesting programme on university topics was completed this fore- noon, President Weller made a neat ad- dress to the graduating class, composed of three ladies and two iendumen. and pre- sented each with a diploma. Those read- ing papers to-day were: Professors J. H. Cole and A. Haraie, Drs. D. C. Barber and Louise M. Harvey, Professor Bailey of the State University, Messrs. Healey and Coch- ran and Professor Hoose. The summer school will continue on for several weeks. e e GIFT TO KNIGHTS TEMPLAR. Past Commander Sumner Sends a Stand of Colors. LOS ANGELES, CAL., July 24.—Los An- geles Commandery No. 9, Knights Temp- lar, beld a rousing meeting last night, 150 members being present. This command- ery is the recivient of a handsome present from Frank P, Sumner of San Francisco, past grand commander of the State. Tne present is in the shape of a stand of colors, comprising the United States flag and the beauseant or black ana white flag of the order. The gift is costly and beautiful. Los Angeles Commandery has always been a favorite with the past grand com- mander and to show to him its appreciation of his magnificent gift the commandery has just sent him a beautifully engrossed set of resolutions of thanks, executed by John Rockwood and handsomely framed. At the meeting last night Conrad Scheerer, George Steckel, F. W. Burnett, George Rheinschild and F. X. Pfaffinger were initiated into the mysteries of the Order of Red Rose. A banquet was served. The commandery will have work every Thurseday night for the next two weeks. WHALES ATTACK NEWPORT IDLERS Two Guests of the Resort Beset by a School of Leviathans and Are Roughly Tossed About. SANTA ANA, Car, July 24. —Ottley Papineau and James Reynolds came into close comprunionship with a school of whales last evening, and the scare they got will last for a lifetime. Between them and the waters of the Pacific was only the frail body of a pleasure craft, and this was tossed and hurled about with startling disregard by the sportive monsters, while the water around their boat was lashed into towering billows. To-day the pair are relating the story of their dangerous experience, and felicitating themselves upon their narrow escape from eternal sleep in the bosom of the ocean. Papineau and Reynolds are Riverside men spending a vacation at Newport Beach, twelve miles from Santa Ana. Last evening, in quest of deep-sea fish, they rowed to a distance of a half mile from shore. Engrossed in their fishing, before they realized their danger they were in the midst of a great school of whales. A sharp blow against the side of the boat gave them the first warning. The whales began a one-sided battle with the men in the boat by deluging them with water. The denizens of the deep toyed with the bark as children would with a plaything. They dived under and around it, and time and again the craft was all but capsized. Several times when a levia- than struck the boat it was thrown clear of the water. The school finally tired of this sport and left the spot. Papinean and Reynolds were soaking wet and thoroughly exhausted from their fright. This 1s the only case on record at Newport where fishermen have been molested by either whale or porpoise, which frequent the waters there- abouts in large numbers. The leviathans were, in all probability, emboldened by their numbers. SHELLED B A GUNBONT Further Spanish Insolence Re- ported by an American Captain. His Vessel Off the Cuban Coast When a Shell Whizzsd Over Her Deck. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 24.—A Herald special from Southport, S. C., says: The schooner Governor J. Y. Smith of Beston, Captain Patrick, from Gibara, Cuba, to Wilmington, N. C., arrived at Quarantine Wednesday. The schooner left Gibara on July 14. Two days later, while off the Cuban coast in the neighborhood of Nuevitas harbor, she passed a Spanish gunboat about a mile and a half away. The gunboat opened fire on the schooner, sending a solid shot over her deck. The shell fell in the sea a guarter of a mile to starboard, having done no damage. Captain Patrick immediately ran up the American ensign and left the neighbor- bood as quickly as' possible. He was not able to learn the name of the gunboat, which remained stationary, firing no more hots. 2 I‘: is expected that Captain Patrick will make an official report, as the schooner is entered at the Custom-house. The schooner was not allowed to enter here. T A RECENT BATTLES IN CUBA. Victories Are Claimed by Both the Span- ish and Insurgents. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 24.—Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish Minister to Washington, denies that General Incian has been captured by the Cubasn insur- gents. General Inclan is operating with his column in Bahia Monda. Duke de Tetuan has telegraphed as fol- lows: ‘“The Spanish troops have killed many rebels in encounters ip Canto, Santa Clara province, and Corral, Falso, Toledo, Viejo and Castilla, in Matanzas provinces. “At SBeto Nuevo, Pinar del Rio, General Baral engaged the forces under Varona, Ibarri and Gallo, and carried their posi- tions. The rebels lost forty-ome killed, including the leader Perez, and sixty wounded. We had two men killed and thirteen wounded. 5 ““Captain Dolse, after 8 series of forced marches, came up with a party of rebels in Paima, Piner del Rio, and dispersed them, killing ten. > . “The battalion returning from Gl'bll’l met and defeated a force of 400 rebels.” Captain Carlos Garcia of the Cuban army has written as follows: “After the burning of the village of Velasco we engaged a column of Spanish marine infantry escort- ing a convoy of clothing, provisions and machetes for the people encamped round the ruins of the village. We captured the convoy and five soldiers after a brief fight. gI‘ne funds for the projected mammoth expedition to Cuba are flowing steadily into the coffers of the New York Junta. L SAT WEYLEK'S LATEST MOVE. Will Close Certain Forts to American Banana Exporters. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 24.—A Herald special from Washington says: Captain-General Weyler intends to show no leniency to American merchants en- ged in_the Cuban banana trad This {.‘-hown by a dispatch from Consul-Gen- eral Lee, received at the State Department yesterday, stating that General Weyler ntended to close al once certsin po-ts in stern Cuba to American banana ex- porters.

WICKS TRIMMED AT SANTA CLARA, Streets of the Town Are * Lighted by Kerosene Lamps. ELECTRICITY IS BARRED The Trustees Formally Declare War Upon a San Jose Corporation. FIGHT FOR LOCAL OWNERSHIP Determined That the Municipality Shall Erect a Plant of Its Own. SAN JOSE, CArn, July 24.—War has been declared by the Town Trustees of Banta Clara upon the Electric Improve- ment Company of thiscity, and as a result the electric lights have been discarded and the streets will be lighted with lamps until the town can own its own lighting plant. A short time ago the people of Santa Clara erected water works at a cost of $55,- 000. The success of the water system pleased them, and steps had been taken to erect a lighting plant. Last night was the time set to award the contract foran electric-light plant. As soon as the Trus- tees had assembled, they were served with an injunction by Deputy Sheriff Gardner restraining them from entering into any contract for electric-light purposes, on the ground that the fund intended to be em- ployed for that purpose was a part of the water works fund secured by the issuance of bonds for water purposes. The com- plaint was signed by Captain Bennett, a wealthy stevedore of San Francisco, who lives south of town on Bascom avenue, and Samuel Morrison, the Santa Clara collector of the San Jose Water Company. The injunction put a stop to the award- ing of the contract for the time being, but the board responded by immediately pass- ing an ordinance discontinuing the use of the electric lights of the San Jose Electric Improvement Company. The action of the board in discontinuing the electric lights met with the approval of the citi- zens, for when the meeting adjourned they were met by a lantern brigade and escorted to their homes. The Trustees state that the money to be used is now in the general fund and ready for use, and anticipate a speedy termina- tion of the injunction. —— — DEATH OF CAPTAIN WELCH. Argonauted to the Coast During the Early Gold Excitement. SAN JOSE, Can., July 24.—Captain George Welch, a weli-known real estate and insurance agent of this city, died at his home on North Sixth street this fore- noon.

No answer came to this ultimatum of the committee, so late this afternoon’ Chairman Grunsky tele- graphed to Humphrey asking if the con- sent of the association could be obtained to hold the regatta under the conditions named in his letter, in order that the mat- ter might be settled at to-night’s meeting* Humphry telegraphed that the affair could be arranged on these terms, and the meet- ing to-night decided to go ahead with its arrangements.

RACING AT SACRAMENTO Record- Breaking Continues at the Wheelmen’s Indoor Tournament. Davis R des Two Miles in 4:39, and Languetin Covers a Third- Mile in SACRAMENTO, CaL., July 24—Two world’s records were broken on the second night of the indoor bicycle tournament in this city. The riders having become used to the track did better work, and no acci- dents of any moment occurred. In the tirst half of the two-mile scratch, pro- fessional, C. L. Davis of the San Francisco Olympic Club Wheelmen smashed the world’s record by riding out in 4:39, and in an exhibition quarter-mile, flying start, E. E. Languetin of the Bay City Wheel- men broke the worid’s record by riding in 129 flat. Ed Chapman of the Olympic Club ‘Wheelmen made the ride of the evening among the amateurs, starting from the scratch, in the mile handicap, picking up his men handily, taking the pole and fighting off all the attempts of his oppo- nents to pass him. Perhaps the greatest surprise of the evening was the riding of Jake Hirsch of the Capital City Wheelmen. Totally in- experienced in indoor races, and having only ridden in two out- door relay races, he beat the cracka- jack amateur, Languetin, in a deperate finish by six inches and gave Chapman the finish ride of his life in the final one- mile handicap and was carried from the track on the shoulders of his mates. Osen also made a great ride, as did Rucker of Portiand, Or., who fell in the second heat of the half-mile professional, regained his wheel and finished second. In the final he gave Whitman a hot ride for first, finishing only a few inches short. Following is the summary: Quarter-mile, scratch, amateur, first in each heat and second in fastest two heats to qualify for semi-finals. First heat—Ed Chapman, O C. W., first; T. E. Languetin, B. C.

FATHER FERGUSON'S LATEST LECTURE Addressed a Large Audience Last Night at Metro- politan Temple. “LATE SUPERSTITIONS.™| Demonstrates the Part the Irish Played in War and Politics. SAYS THEY'RE ALWAYS LOYAL. The Temple Was Crowdsd From Pit to Dome by an Enthusiastic Audience. Rev. Father James P. Ferguson lectured last night at Metropolitan Temple to a large and sympathetic audience on the subject “‘Current Superstitions.” He said: Ladies and Gentlemen: The organized known protectors of our institutions have been so effectually discredited by recent reve- lations that further reference to them seems like throwing water on a drowned rat. I should, perhavs, apologize for once more in- troducing them upon your notice. But like many other things that are extinct, or verging toward their final downfall, they may serve as understudies. 8 It was a Harvard professor who said that that community could not be said to be edu- cated, or lay any. claim to & high degree of civilization {n which such a society could take root. -The people of the United States have at last awakened tq a recognition that: that Har- vard professor uttered a solemn trnth. Every | community is rapidly repudiating these dis- ciples of phonetic spelling, and mow they flourish nowhere except in Oakland, which the Deo‘fl‘ over there call “The Athens or the i ies and gentlemen, the men who have been foremost in this attack upon the civil and relifiionl rights of Catholics have been proved, in many instances, to be subjects of a foreign power, or among those who _have only recently renounced their lll%glmce to it. They may shout themselves hoarse for the flag, but that is no criterion of their loyalty to it. The traitor who harbors the basesi design against it may, and does, employ the same tactics to divert suspicion from himself. Greece lost her linerties not by enemies from without but from enemies within. There are some native-born Americans in this organiza- tion, it is true. - But theéy aré not the descend- ants of the men of '76. The men who are truly loyal are not going around constantly putting their patriotism on record. Weshould Temember that there are quite a number of Americans in existence just at the present time that America has no reason to boast of. A goodly number of them reside at the pres- ent time in Montreal, Canada, whither they went with the funds of sundry churches and city and country banks. They were very patriotic, too, when they were on this side of -the line, and the majority of them believed that the avenues to advance- ment should be closed to all Catholics. Not long ago the city fathers of Montreal, for just and better reasons, seriously thought of closing up all the city avenues againstthem. In fact they are still confronted with the prob- lem what to do with that vast army of bank- wreckers, embezzlers and absconders who have invaded their city, as their presence is de- moralizing and & bad example to the young. There are many beteon this side yet who are Bo more worthy of American gitizenship than are those meu who are not content with run- ning away with the banker’s money, but in mauy instances run off with the banker’s wife. ‘The Congressional Record for Jannary, 1878, gives us a few samples of the kind of patriotism which rhreatened the stability.of the Republic 1n 1812, and a sample of what we might expect if these patriots were in control todey They occur in a debate between’ Senator Dawes of Massachusetts and the late James G. Blaine. wThe Senator from Massachusetts. had been enumerating the éervices' of Massachusetts to the Nation and defied Mr. Blaine 1o point to any instance where Massachusetts had made anything but the most patriotie record. Mr. Blaine said: I will tell you here and now, Messachusetts r to pass end tabled & res. olution thanking one of her own naval officers for nvlcm?, because it was gained in an un- just war. She refused to thank the gallant and admirable captain of the Hornet-ior capturing the British man-of-war, the Peacock. “That stands on_your nwn legislative jour- nals. If you want the record I cangive you more and graver instances until the sun sets, and for & Senator from Massachusetts to rise here and pretend that his State did not bristle all over with Ilnrltflollc records, going clear ug to the verge of treason aund, in the opinion of some patriots of that day, stepping one point beyond, is & degree of bravery which Wit would "have been well to show in the war and not reserve for this day.”” Mr. Dawes—Mr. President, the extent of the offense which the Eentkmln can bring against Massachusetts in the war of 1812 was that she lacked the dispesition to publicly return thanks— Mr. Blaine—No, stop right there! One mo- ment. Massachusetts refused to ailow her sol- alers to march beyond the boundaries of her own State, and refused pointedly to thegen- eral Government to respond to & eall for her troops. It was volunteers from Msine that marched beyond the boundaries of Massachu- setts. The militia that was under the control of your Governor refused to go and were not permitted to go. There is another record for you. The bitterest enemies of Catholics to-day in this country the descendants of the men ‘who in the days of this century were ar- rayed on the e of England, and openly sym- pathized with that power which kidnaped our sailors, destroyed our commerce and in the war which followed committed acts of yandsl--| ism at Washington which they would never dare to Fomtrna in any European capital. The disloyalty of Catholics is one of the su- perstitions men of thatstamp have ever sought to spread. Yet at the very time these men were uigmmsln‘lu unjusta war entered upon to protect the lives, property and liber- ties of American citizens, at that very time Catholics under Jackson were opposing Pak- eaham and loyally and heroically upholding, the honor of Ame: ton bales of New Orleans.

The honest, patient and industrious German readily unites With our people, establishes himself upon sume of our fatland, fills his capacious barn and en- oys in trauquillity the abundant fruits which is diligence gathers around him, always ready to fiy to the standard of his adopted country, or of its laws when called by duties of patriotism. “The gay, Frenchman, our the versatile, the philosophic accommodating himself cheer- fully to all the vicissitudes of life, incorporates himself without difficulty in our society. But of all foreigners none amalgamate themselyes so «gflckly with our people asthe nativesof tne Emerald Isle. In some of the visions which have passed through my imagination I have supposed that Ireland was originally part and parcel of this continent, and that by some ex- traordinary convulsion of nature it was torn from America, and drifting across the ocean was placed in the unfortunate vicinity of Great Britain. “The same open - heartedness; the same generous hospitality ; the same careless and uncalculating indifference about human life cheracterize ihe inhabitants of both countries.” What a crying shame that the great commoner died before the Know-nothing party could explain to him the necessity of repealing our naturalization laws; before the A. P. Apes could inform him that the French, Irish and Dutch, with their nlig{ion of papal diabolism, were sending this Nation to the dickens. Poor old Clay! How much he might have learned had he been born a few years later! TACOMA’S BALLOT-THIEVES. Citizens Organize a Committee of One Hundred to Bring the Raiders to Justice. TACOMA, Wass., July 24.—A vigilance committee™of 100 of Tacoma’s most promi- nent citizens has been appointed to de- vise and at once put into operation the most practiczble plan it can devise for ferreting out the criminais who raided the City Hall vault and stole the ballots of four precincts cast in the recent election, A mass-meeting of citizens at the Cham- ber of Commerce at 4 o’clock was largely attended. Resolutions were adopted de- ploring the situation that made such a meeting necessary and requesting the chairman to name a committee of three to select a committee of 100. Thevigilance committee was instructed to sit in continuous session, adjourning only for meals, until a vigorous plan of ac- tion was devised and put into execution. The membership of the committee was announced to-night and its first session will be held to-morrow morning. The Populists and members of the city administration, who claim to be indignant at the aspersions cast on Mayor Fawcett’s administration as a result of the ballot raid, called a mass-meeting to-night at Germania Hall. The speakers included Governor Teats; a member of the Civil Service Commission, and Assistant Fed- eral Attorney Robertson. They denounced all who had spoken slightingly of Fawcett's administration. The ballots of fourteen precincts have been counted in court without changing Fawcett’s majority of two. From two to fifteen ballots in each precinct have been objected to and set aside for future adjudi- cation. They will determine the resuit of the count. A pile of brick and plaster taken from the vault wall was found to-day near the City Hall, but otherwise no new clews to thieves have been discovered. Sty TRAGEDY AT MARYSVILLE. The Murder of a Fallen Woman Fol- lowed by the Suicide of Her Slayer. MARYSVILLE, OaL., July 24—Irene Hill, provprietress of a disorderly house, was killed this evening by Harry Sligar, who in turn killed himself. Sligar, who was but 22 years old, had been riding with a young woman with whom he had partially agreed to go to Nevada City to-morrow. He had been dringing some, but said nothing of nis contemplated deed. He left the woman at the doorway of the house and went upstairs. Siigar asked to see Irene Hill and she appeared and showed him into her room. A moment later the inmates of the house heard her scream. The cries were followed by two pistol- shots. They rushed to the room and found both dead. A 38-caliber pistol was clutched in Bligar’s hands. Young Sligar fell beir to about $5000 less than a year ago, and since then he has been living recklessiy. His money re- cantly gave out. He obtained a few dollars from Irene Hill, and later some jewelry. To-day he offered a diamond ring for sale and told a number of people that he proposed to get out of town to-morrow. He secured some money, but how much is not known. Sligar’s father livesin .Sacramento. He 'was formerly in the livery business in this city. The woman has a husband, mother, sister and little daughter residing in Sac- mento. —_—— COMES JUST IN TIME, 4 Destitute Man Inherits Two Million Dollars.
