14 U\ HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1897 PREPARING FOR THE FINAL BATTLE How the Fair People Hoped to Get a Show of Hands. The Pencil De-ds Fight Will Swallow Up the Case of the Notary. All Issues in the Famous Litigation Now Pending on the Struggle to Begin Monday, Both sides in the fight between [Mrs. Craven and the representatives of the Fair estate are busy sharpening their spears in anticipation of the struggle which will begin Monday morning before Judge Slack. Attorney W. M. Pierson, whose illness was the cause of the postponement, is convalescent again. As the attorneys who will lead the onslaught against the pencil deeds, he and his- partner, R. B. Mitcheil, yesterday filed a formal amended com- Pplaint in the big case. The documents set forth that the trust will has aiready been admitted to probate, and in accordance with an order of court W. R. Goodfellow, James S. Angus and Thomas R. Crothers are now executors under that will, instead of special administrators. Copies of this complaint were served Mrs. Craven’s attorneys yesterday. To- day they will join issue, as lawyers say, and thus the last technicality in the way of the big lawsuit has been removed. The beginning of the civil case wili be the means of transferrin, 1terest from the Cooney affair to the fight over the pencil deeds. Every issue in the compli- cated litigation is after all involved in the case at issue before Judge Slack. The part Cooney played in the drama was aiter all small one, but he afforded a mark for air children to strike at in prefer- 0 an atiack on their chief opponent. so it is said, of putting obstacles in the way of the trialof the pencil deeds that led young Fair and Captain Lees to charge the young notary with perjurv. They anticipated on a pre- liminary examination to introduce enough e to have Cooney held for trial, and then with a criminal action pending they were confident Mrs. Oraven would be deterred from prosecuting her ciaims in the civil courts. The determination of the executors of the estate to proceed in this case instead of urging the trial of Cooney has not met with the approbation of the attorneys represent Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, Miss irginia Fair and their brother. Insiead isnow a bone of considerable conten- | Thbe heirs ana their lawyers were sing the criminal lever first and mak- 1 attempt at washing out the foreery ina hazard manner before a From the beginning of the case | jury. against Cooney it is known that the exe- disapproved of this flank | ing Mrs. Craven. They were for making the fight in the civil courts, anu had conyinced the lawyers for Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Fair of the futility of this course. Young Fair, however, was anxious to get before the kaleidoscope, and he proceeded at once to charge Cooney with perjury, asserting that the certif cates upon which he made his acknowi- edgment of tLe pencil deeds wereof a form not printed until January, 1896, two years after the death of tue bonanza king. Fair's attorneys at ihe time intimated that more arrests would follow, but they | finally decided to rest their fortunes for the tifue being on Cooney’s prosecution. 1n sadition to putting an obstacle in the way of the civil trial the Fair attorneys also hoped, it is said, to compel Mrs, Craven to show her hand, 50 10 speak, in Cooney’s defense. They expected t.at Delmas ena Shortridge and the: other ai- torneys for the pencil deeds wonld intro- duce evidence to clear Cooney of the charge, and thus make public their plan of campaign. The rcse failed,, as the notary’s attorneys preferred to allow him to be held for trial, holding their ammu- nition in reserve for the big fight in the ivents thus far show tbat the Fair peo- ple have only succeeded i their plans to a’partial degree. They have succeeded in having Cooney held for trial in accord- ance with an order to that effect made yesterday by Judge Cook, but they are as much in the dark as ever in hauling out the coveted chestnuts from the hearthe stone of the pencil ceeds. The Grand Jury has been asked by Judge Cook to consider the testimony presented aganst the notary, but as all this linen must of necessity be washed out in the civil case, it1s not probabie that that body will take any action until the result of ihe action before Judge Slack is decided.

James McFadden, commonly known as *‘the Patriot Priest of Gweedore,” will lecture on ““Ireland and Her Wrongs” at Metropolitan Temple on the evening of March 10. Peculiar interest attaches to the lecture on account of the personality of father McFadden. He acquired considerabie notoriety in Ireland on account of his manliness and fearlessness in defense of his peovle against landloras and misgov- ernment. In 1888 he was imprisoned for six months in Londonderry jail under Mr. Balfour's “‘forever and forever’ coercion act, and agaiu in 1889 for three montks. At his arrest on leaving his church on Sunday, February 3, 1888, in presence of the cougregation, the people became so excited that the District inspector of Police, who had charge of the warrant of arrest, lost his life. The reign of terror that followed in Gweedore after the catastrophe is said to have baffled description. An army of occupation was drafted into Gweedore by the Irish executive at Dublin Castle and the peasants were harried by every manner of persecution, mid- night raids, ete. A police constable was appointed to give “passes’” to walk the public roads; arrests were numerous, and gunboats searched the caves along the shores with electric lights. Derry jail was crowded with Gweedore peasants, while it also retained within its stone walls and iron rails their much-revered parish priest. Prosecutions and trials, changing of venues, packing of juries and all the ageravations of the evil of Castle rule in Ireland followed. *Delenda est Gwee- dore’’ became the motto of the Government, and the priest of Gweedore and his people were transferred to Maryborough, in Queens County, to insure the end. Discredit and defeat, however, followed in due time, and the peasants are now at bome in poverty-stricken Gweedore and Father McFadden is pursuing a mission of charity in San Francisco. His Jot bas fallen on evil days. Times are hard, depression general. This h. told on the father’s mission. Itis thought that Irishmen in San Francisco, well as the citizens generaily, will -give this hero of the Irish priesthood & warm reception in Metropolitan Temple on March 10, ana by their splendid rally save the good priest’s mission to the City from almost total failure.

Convinced of the great truth that righteousness ultimately triumphbs I worked on for the consummation of the object which was to all my friends and co- religionists a chimera, The spiritual battle that was begun on the birthday anniversary of Buddha, the full moon day of May, 1894, against priestly Brahmanical selfishness ended in the occupation of this holy spot on the very day two years later when for the first time the anmiversary of the birthaay of thie Great Teacher was being celebrated after teven hundred years in the metropolis of British India, Calcutta, by the native Hindoos, who participated in the rejoicings in the hope that Buddhism, the religion of compassion, will again have a place in India. Your glorious poet-philosopher, Emerson, said, *“America, thy name is oppor- tunity,” and to America is given the opportunity to save India from the clutches of priestly selfisuness and political despotism. The teeming millions are treated like dumb beasts, native industries are being killea by importation of cheap and worthless goods, people groaning under heavy taxation, laborers compelled to work for starving wages, grain tnat used to be stored up in the ancient days under native kings in anticipation of famines exported to the last seed, the revenue of the 1ands wasted in cerrying out useless military expeditions in the foolish fear of the phantom created by the Russophobe politician, so that the Russian bear may be frightened. The peace that the people of India enjoy under British administation is that of the child that is tortured to death by the cruel father, who 1nsists on the child by threats to hold his tongue and not speak a word and not cry! Thousands of deaths occur every year by the depredations of tigers and yet not one is allowed to keep firearms in his house. The British politician has killed the individuality of the people like the Pharoahs of Egypt. A great people, who have given world-saviors like Buddba and Sankara Charya, law-givers like Manu, poets like Kalidasa, Kings like Asoka, whose rock cut edicts, after 2000 years. are being discovered and deci- phered in all parts of India, are now being ill-treated by the most glorious and heroic of all nations. The British sing daily, “‘Britons shall never be slaves,” but they take a glory in enslaving races and destroying the independence which they would like to enjoy. wants your help. The Buddhist kings of old praised not conquest by sword, but they praised conquest by knowledge in spreading the gospel of peace in unknown lands, as recorded in the Asoka edicts. The best people on earth, to you I bring the lamentations of the people of India, who are dying by thousands from want of food caused by a catastrophe the greatest the world’s history has seen, which is expected to lust till next June. British administration is alone responsible for this terrible calamity. sleeping virgins they slept and the bridegroom came, but they were too late. Asain I say with Emerson “America, thy name is opportunity.” Like the Mother India A 7000 monks congregate three times a day and chant sacred songs and invoke bless- ings on all the world, ‘Let there be peace and love among_all peoples and all races and nauons.’ It must be an impressive scene. “I came to Chicago by way of England last September, but I was there three years ago at the Congress of Religions. Bince 1 left here three years ago I have traveled about 60,000 miles through many countries. “‘Since 1836, when I renourced my home in Ceylon to devote my life to work for bhumanity, I have been traveling from place to place. For five years I wasen- gazed in educational work in Ceylon. “My work in India now is to revive Buddhism, the ancient religion of the country. Only recently we have zot back, after five years’ struggle, the Maba-Bodi Temple, about 200 miles irom Calcutta. For 700 years the Brahmans held posses- sion of it. It was restored after a big and sensational lawsuit in Calcutta, which cost the alle owner $50,000 to defend his claim and attempt to prove that it wa a Hindoo tem,le. Its possession has brought fame to its allezed proprietor, for all the tourists that visited it also called upon him. Possession is only partly re- stored, but in that temple now controlled by the Government the Buddiists have one sacred foothold in India. “Sumangals, the high priest of Bud- hism, who resides in Ceylon, is one of the cleverest Oriental scholars now livine. He is an_honorary member of the Royal Asiatic Society, which implies the very highest scholastic honor. He is also president of the Maha-Bodni Society. “India, the land of the noble ones, twenty-five centuries ago was in the zenith of her intellectual giory.

At such a-time, in the midst of search and strife after religious growth, the ‘Lion of the Sakya Race,’ the supremely enlight- ened, all-perfect Buddha appeared on the scene. “‘Buddha’s doctrine is an ethical code and a transcendental psychology. *'Whatdid he teach? ~After centuries of oblivion European Orientalists have given out the doctrines of the great teacher; they have mads the declaration that his code of morality 1s perfect. ‘‘His chief tencts are these: One—That the existence of suffering is a truth; that this suffering exists in manifold ways; that birth, decay, dissolution of the physical body, painful separation and painful association ali bring sorrow. Two—That this suffering is due to the un- quenched, unsatisfied, selfish desires, the longing to existin the enjoyment of sensual plensure, the longing for a continuity of pet- sonal existence in the blissiul regions, the ssimistic longing ior self-annihilation. his is called the truth of the cause of suffer- ree—Emancipation from sorrow, the eter- unconditioned. absolute peace, the end of suffering aud sorrow.

Four—The! noble way, the eightfold ‘path; (a) Tight conception of the law of cause and effect; (b) right thought; (c) right speech; ) et ndeavor; [y) right uiscipline of mind.” This is the novle eightfold path, the middle way, which Buddha discovered, avoiding the ex- tremes of physical asceticism and of sensual Iuxurious living—both unworthy for gaining the high ideal. - Fell From His Bicycle.

MRS, STANFORD GOES EAST The Rare Pictures, Curios and Bric-a-Brac to Bz Brought to This City. | | i | Will Witness the Inauguration nl{‘ McKinley—Her Private Secretary and Henry Lathrop Go Along. | Mrs. Jane L. Stanford feft last evening for Washington, D. C., where she will re- | main several weeks. She was accom- panied by Henry Lathrop, Mrs. Bothnel, her secretary, and maid and butler. The lady and suite went in the private car Stanford, in which she and the Sena- tor used to travel for so many years, in going to New York, Washington and other places. It is a favorite car with | her, and it is said that she would not think of traveling in any other, so much | is she attached to it, because of the pieas- | ant memories surrounding it. | Mrs. Stanford had made several prepar- ations to go previously, and each time the car was victualed and otherwise stocked, but little matters of business intervened and caused a postponement. She will now go straight through to Washington, and will arrive in time for the exercises in connection with the inaugural of Presi- dent McKinley. Probably none will be more welcome at the White House than the philanthropic lady of California. The great object, however, of Mrs. Stan- ford in going East at this time, as given | out, is 10 sell the great mansion in Wash- ington. Mrs. Stanford has been closing | out different properties lately. She has | turned over the California-street residence | to be used as an art gallory and place for | popular lectures in connection with the | university. Itis in this, so it is stated, that she will concentrate her treasures. | The curios, brick-a-brac, paintings and rare things from at home and abroad, now in tbe Washington mansion, are to be put in the big house on the hili for the univer- sity. Eventually the works of art and | curios in the Menlo mansion will go there | also, but that will probably be a long time | in the future, But meantime the Washington property, | aside from that to be moved here it is un- derstood, will be sold. Mrs. Stanford is disposing of a great denl of her property now besides the Cali- fornia-street - property which is to be used | for an art gallery and place for lectures after her hfetime, and which was deeded by her to the university recentiy. She is advertising the sale of her extensive lands in Tebama, San wLuis Obispo, Contra Costa and Santa Clara counties. Thelady | wants to rid herself of the responsibility | of holding all these properties. The great Gridley, Palo Alto and the other ranches | ziven originally by Senator and Mrs. Stan- ford to the Stanford University were worth $.0,000,000. T.ese bequestsof Mrs. Stan- ford are additional. Mrs. Stanford left last night at 5:30 o’clock.
