The United States neutrality laws, which General Estrada Palma fears, are very far-reaching. From section 5281 of the R ed Statutes of the United States 10 5290 inclusive the subject is treated in detail. In a general way it is provided that every citizen accepting a commission or hiring another as a soldier, marine or seaman, or who fits out, arms or aids an expedition againsta friendly power in any | way, may be fined $2000 or imprisoned for two years, Section 5281 makes it an offense to ac- cept a foreign commission, while the next section covers ‘“‘enlisting in the service,” Sections 5283 and 5286 make it a grave of- fense to aid a military or naval expedition against any people at peace with the Ubited States. “The provisions of the law on this sub- ject are very comprehensive,"” said United States District Attorney Foote yesierday, “and plan to aid the - insurgents it would surely come before the United States courts were overt acts committed within our territory in defiance of the provisions of the United States statutes.” It is therefore apparent that the hun- | pelled to abandon their plai | the United States or other neutral coun- | and avowed intention of furnishing such while I know nothing about any | | ing of men in the United States and the | | as the landing of arms, is all rizht if it is dred or more persons eager to fight for Cubans or to give them monsy will be com- for they have run squarely against the laws of the United States. General Palma will accept no aid, and without credentials from him the local leaders will not try to make any coliec- tions or organize any plan of aid. - VIOLATING NEUTRALITY. Attorney Charles Page Says the Offenders Must Be Caughtin the Act, as in Smuggling. Interest has been aroused during the last few months, anent the Cuban war, on the question as to how far the people of tries could go in furnishing aid to the From the fact that the Cuban authori- ties semi-occasionally seize vessels en- gaged in conveying arms and supplies, it has been thought that the owners of the vessels had been violating the neuirality laws, but this is not necessarily the case. Charles Page, who is one of the leading anthorities on international law, says that merchant vessels have a perfect right to carry arms, money and provisions, and if they are landed successfully Cuba can have no recourse against the United States. She may have found out after- ward that the arms and supplies were actually furnished, and be able to prove this, but that will cut no figure. She can get no indemnity. Sue must, if she would even up for what would be consid- ered the offense, catch those who furnish the goods and arms in the very act. But citizens of the United States must not organize an expedition with the open aid to insurgents. That would be a vio- lation of the neutrality law. The guestion turns really, therefore, on the fitting out of the expedition. It is a matter, as Mr. Page points out, much like smugaling. The United States hes no power to prevent any of its citizens from smuggling into any otber country. It has nothing to do with it, and only takes cognizance of violations in our own country. But if those citizens of the United States get caught by the otficials of the country Where they have been smuggling they are amenable to the laws of that country, and may be punisbed by the methods laid down in the laws of thatcountry. The United States cannot say it nay. It has nothing to do with it. f Tt would appear that the old aphorism, “Do not get caught,” hasa great deal to do with it, barring, of course, the recog- nized rights of merchantmen. The rais- method of their being forwarded, as well done right. INDIAN ART WORK LINED THE WALLS! Unique Reception Given by | Wemen of Century | Club. A Bower of Picturesque Signs of a Poetic Aboriginal Life. Treasures Loaned by Many Cit'z:ns| Attract Hundreds cf Guests. The Century Club, composed of many of the most prominent literary, artistic and social women of San Francisco, heid a large recep terday afternoon in its commodious bhouse.

It isacustom with the club to devote the first Wednesday of the month to art and literature. tho second to fcience | and education and the third to practical questions. In arranging ‘or the first reg- | ular entertainment of the néw year tue committee on art and literature, composed of Mrs. Horace Wilson (chairman), Miss | Eva Withrow, Mrs. Lovell White, Mrs. W. | H. Mils .and’ Mus. Geol . Sage, had, upon Mra White’s suggestion. decided to | make it stnictly an indian aftair, and | everything was done to carry out the| unique idea. Among the interesting exhibits were souvenirs of Helen Hunt Jackson, who | in her story of Ramona introduced ni charming romance into the lives ot some prosaic mission 1ndians of Sont' ern Cali- fornia. The very table on which the | menuscript of Ramona was written formed an import: lor feature of the display. Many things were borrowed for the dis- play. Puinungs were loaned by James D, Phetan; Mrs. Louis Sloss had contribu'ed her vamaole Alaska colleciion; Mrs, Charles Wheeler had furnished a number of pictures of Indian cnaracters painted by Mrs. Hudson; Mrs. C. B. Bishop had added a large collection of Indian-wrought ! baskets; Mrs. drusdale had loaned the | Ramona collection. Others, also, lent things.

Judge Coffey heard testimony yesterday in recard to attorneys’ fees in the settle- ment of the Joshua Henay estate. Considerable litigation grew out of the uncertainty of the rmeaning of Mr. Hendy’s will, which was written by him- seli,was holographicin form and contained a number of errors in spelling. The first application for fees was pre- sented on behalf of J. B. Langhorne and John H. Mhoon, attorneys for Josephine | Green. Mrs. Green said she thought $1200 each would be sufficient for her attorneys. Judge Coffey remarked that he knew of | no iaw that would authorize him to pay | the lawyers who represented the oppo- nents of the estate, ana the lawyers were given further time in which to present authorities., Attorneys E. B. Young and W. H. H. Hart were allowed $1500 each as attorneys for the estate. The amounts allowed to iawyers engaged in the Hendy estate up 1o the present time is as follows: W. H. H. Hart, $6500; W.H. L. Barnos. $5000; A.R. Cotton. $2500; Nowlin & Fassett, 2500; E. B. Young, $1500; other fees in minor matters, $1500. Total, $19,500. The estate has paid $29,000 10 compro- mise the ciaim of Samuei Hendy, $.0,000 to Josephine Green, and is still worta | about half a mullion doliars, with the | value constantly increasing. Judge Coffey complimented Superin- tendent Hendy for his management of the affairs of the estate and parucularly of the machine works, saying that Mr. Hendy ought to have at least $1000 a month instead of $450, his present monthly saiary. ————— CRUSHED BY A WAGON. Probable Fatal Accident to James Woodbeck, a Boy. James Woodbeck, a boy 7 years of age, living with his parents at 214 Capp street, met with an accident that may result fatally, yesterday afternoon. He and another boy were riding in a hwnd wagon on the sidewaik on Folsom street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth, when the wagon went too near the curb- stone and was toppled over. Young Woodbeck fell on the street, at that mom a wagon belong- ing to the 1414 Dupont streef, was being driven past anu before the driver, Charies Coiombet, couid pull up his team the wheels passed over the boy’s body, erushing it badiy.

Since the convening of the State Legis- | lature at Sacramento one of the first acts | | of the organized wheetmen has been the | preparation of their so-called baggage | bill, under which bicycles shall be carried | free by transportation companies as lug- | gage. | Frank H. Kerrigan, chief consul of the | League of American Wheelmen; Charles | Albert Adams, ¥rank H. Dunne and | Percy V. Long, all prominent attorneys of | tnis City, met recently and formulated | the foliowing amendment to the Civil Code, which it is thought will cover the ground desired : Section 2181 of the Civil Code of Caiifornia is hereby amended 5o as 10 read as follows: Section 1. Luggage may consist of what- ever the passenger takes with him for his per- sonal use and convenience, according to the habits or wants of the particular class to which he belongs, either with reference to the | immediate necessities or to the ultimate pur- pose of the journey. No crate, cover or other protection snall be required for any bicycle carried as luggige, but no passenger shall be entitled to carry as luggage more than one bicycle. Sec. 2. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its pa: X Mr. Adams was seen by THE CALL rep- resentative yesterday and expressed the | belief that the meesure would pass both houses. “Itisaimed to be of Lenefit to other classes besides the cyclers, you will notice,” he s: “‘Hunters can transport their guns and dogs without charge, fish- ermen their tackle, artists their brusies, paints and easels, photographers their tripods and cameras and so on ad infini- tum, so that we may reasonably expect support from all these sources. Besides the measure is manifestly fair, and is not a hardship to the transportation com- panies. It would discourage the cyclers and men in other branches of sport if they nad to pay for their wheels, guns, etc., when taking an outing in the cou try, and they wouid be likely to go in di rections where they would not need to take a train. Thus the railroads would lose their passenger fare and be out that much.” It is the intention to send a committee to Sacramento shortly to pres-nt this bill to the legislators. It wili be fathered by the League of American Wheeimen, and such ot the funds ascan be spared from the earnings of the proposed benefit meet of the league at the Velodrome on Satur- day, January 16, will be devoted toward defraying the expenses, of that com- mittee. The wheelmen are very much interested in the measure, and ale earnestly hoping for its adopti SUICIDE IN THE BROSH. The Dead Body of a Man Found on the Spring Valley Grounds. The dead body of a man in an advanced state of decomposition was found yester- day in the brush on the Spring Valley grounds, about a mile below Ocean View, by some boys. A pistol was grasped firmly in the man’s right hand, which led to the supposition that he had coramitted suicide. The ap- pearance and clothing of the man I cated that he had been a laborer. The Coroner of San Mateo County was notitied and the body was removed to the nearest roadhouse, where an inguest will be held. ———— Shoplifter Convicted.

A Handsome Structure Will Arise to Gladden Their Eyes. In All Respects It Will Fill the R quirem:nts and Be a Credit to the City. King Solomon’s Masonic Lodge No. 260, which has had its location in Hamilton Hall, on Geary and Steiner streets, since its organization, will before the end of the present year move into its own building, which will be on Devisadero street, be- tween Ellis and Eddy. The land upon which the hall is about to be erected is 37 feet south of Eliis street, with a frontage of 50 and a depth of 100 feet. Tnis valuable piece of real estate has changed hands within the past few days for the sum of $7000, which the o Gustave Gunzendorfer, Chairman of Lot and Building Committee. members of King Solomon’s Lodge paid. The building will be commenced just as soon as suitable plans can be prepared and the necessary arrangements entered into for the construction of an iron and stone structure of three stories. The ground floor will be used as stores. The second is intended for lodgerooms and assemblages of societies other than Ma- sonic. On the top floor wiil be the lodge- room for the use of the Masons exclus- ively. In the rear portion will be the lodgervom. The center of the floor will be devoted to the use of anterooms, store- rooms and offices, while the entire front will be used as a large banquet hall for the use of the members and _their friends. The idea of King Solomon’s Lodge own- ing its own ground and building first en- tered the mind of Past Master Gustave Gunzendorfer during his first incumbency in1894. Having made known these desires to some of the members the question be- came agitated until eveatually in 1895 and during bis cecond term as worshipful | master the following committee on “‘lot and building” was appointed: G. Gunzen- dorfer (chairman), A. M. Blade, A. H. Kayton, W. C. Wixe, F. B. Wood, William Filmer and L. Sbilling. This committee pushed the scheme to a finality by purchasing thelot. The history A. M. Blade, Who Will Assist in Building the New Masonic Hall. of King Solomon’s Masonic Lodge dates back only seventeen years on the 10ta of February, 1880, The following Master Masons applied for a dispensation to tbe grand master, which was issued, and subsequently ob- tamed a charter: A. F. Knorp, A. H. Wands, C. E. Blake, Thomas McWattie, 0. H. Smyth, R. H. Thorpe, J. 8. Smith, J. F. Stuyvesant, Swift, J. T. Minor, G. W. Darbey, M. B. Smith, F. Schaffner, eming, Thomas Patton, W. Fil- W. Banks, A. L. Mever, J. W. Kins- ley. J. C. Hoag, C. 8. Bonney and James arwick. From this small beginning King Solo- mon’s Lodge grew and prospered, hgving now a membership over 300, with a bank account suflicient to undertake the erection of a §25,000 building. The present officers who were installed during the past month, are: A. M. Blade, worshipful master; A. H. Kay- ton. seujor warden; F.B. Wood, den; B. F. Jellison,’ treasnrer; Harry Baehr, secretary; C. L. P.’ Marais, senior déacon; G. P. Godsey, junior deacou; Charles Moores, George Wittman, senior stewara: A. , funior steward; George C. Dawson, nd A. A. Batkin, orgauist. These, with the committee already mentioned on lot and building, will push the comfilation of the new ball to a £nisn before the termination of their official career, and by <o doing add another at- traction to the W stern Addition. Pentecostal Convention. The Rev. A. Coplin of Oszkiand will open a two weeks’ pentecostal convention at the Christian Assembly Hall, 1237 Mar- ket street, with meetings daily at 2 and 7:30 ». M. The reverend genilemen is & former Methodist minister, and is highly recommended by Dr. E. R. Bille, Dr. Alfred Kummer, Rev. . Hobart, and other Chiistian’ workers. He has' held two successful conventions in Santa Rosa and one in Oakland. BOXERS NOT AMATEURS. Participants in Recent Olympic Tour- naments to Be Ex- pelied. To-night an effort will be made by some of the members of the Pacific Association of the Amateur Athietic Union to have all the contestants in the latest Olympic Club boxing tournament declared profes- sionals. The boxers affected by this contemplated action are Hayes of the Olympic Club and Egan of the Manhattan Club, F. Schulerof the San Franelsco Athletic Club and James Lawlor of the Acme Clup, James Brown of the Olympic Cluband J. Mulligan of the Manhattan Club, J. W. Reay of the Olym- pic Club and P. Lynch of the San Fran- cisco Athletic Ulub. Some action may also be taken in the case of Tighe oi the Acme Club, who 1s known to have signed a contract to fight Muller, a professional, for $75, though the evidence of the contract disappeared sub- sequently to the contest. One of the officials of the Amateur Union asserts that he saw the contract. The board of managers of the Pacific Association will also deal with' the Butte Tootball team. ‘The Montana players wil! probably be officially declared profes- sionals pending a final decision by the head councils of the union. In order to do the fair thing in consid- eration of their questioned standing the Butte team canceled its final game that was to have been played in Portland last Tuesday with the soldiers of Vancouver Barracks. Its mana er, George McMillan, sent word to the officials of the Amateurs’ Union that the Butte team had declared tbe game oft and gone home. Tne proposition of sending the winning university track athletic ieam East at the expense of the association will probably also come up. WHIST CHMPIONS MEET They Will Be Here in Annual Convention To-Day and To-Morrow. Six Contests in a Tournament for a Trophy and Priz:s Are on the Programme. The third annual convention of the Pa- cific Coast Whist Club Association will open in this City to-day and will conclude Baturday evening. In connection with it there will be a whist tournamentand more or less social pleasure. For whist-players the tournament has most interest, as there are six general contests, not to mention side plays that cannot be avoided when the cracks meet face to face. Of the contests, that for the Rideout trophy, between teams of four representing association clubs, is first in interest. The others are the ladies’ contest for pairs, gentlemen’s contest for pairs, pro- gressive match for club fours, progressive match for club pairs, and straight whist. Santa Rosa will contribute one team, Petaluma two teams, San Rafael one team, Oakland three teams, Sacramento one team, San Francisco Whist Club two teams, and the Trisc Club one team. The convention for business matters will be called to order at 11 A. M. in the rooms of the San Francisco Whist Club, and in the afternoon the tournaments will begin. The schedule of contests is as follows: Friday afternoon—Rideout trophy contest; ladies’ contest for paiis; gentlemen’s contest for pairs. Friday evening—Rideout trophy, lay continued; progressive match for club ours. Saturaay afternoon—Rideout trophy, semi-finals; progressive match for club pairs. Saturday evening—Rideout trophy, finals; straight whist. The Rideout trophy contest will be held at 711 Jones street, in the rooms of the Trist Duplicate Whist Club, and all other games at the San Francisco Whist Club. TOOK CARBOLIC ACID. Through the Error of a Nurse Mrs. H. Woolsey Nearly Loses Her Life. Through the carelessness of a nurse Mrs. H. Woolsey, living at 109A Freelon street, came very near losing her life last Tuesday. She had been ill for a week, and the nurse gave her a dose of carbolic acid instead of peppermint. Dr. Dillon was immediately summoned and in a short time had his patient out of danger. Mrs. Woolsey is well-known through the precocity of her little daugh- ter, Mabel, who, though only 4 years of age, is a bird-like warbler and is in great | demand at church and fraternal enteriain- ments.
