WILL HONOR THE DAY. The Jesuits Will Commemorate the Anniversary of a Feast With Special Ceremony. Preparations are being made at St. Ignatius Church in anticipation of the | Feast of the Sacred Name of Jesus, to | be observed next Sunday morning in | the church on Hayes street. Archbishop | Riordan will deliver the sermon and | will also administer the papal blessing at the conclusion of the mass. The beautiful gold monstrance do- nated to the church some two years or more ago will be used at bnnedirtlnn., which is to be said at the conclusion of the mass. Special music will be arranged and sung by the male choir of sixty volces. | In addition to the organ there will be instrumental music. Instead of the ordinary high mass, solemn high mass will be said, but as °t, owing to possible engagements | that the different priests might have | for Sunday next, nothing definite can | be said concerning those who will be chosen to act as celebrant, deacon and sub-deacon of the ceremony.

It is of unusual interest in San Francisco and Oregon as well for the reason that the Ladds were well known in business circles for a long number of years. The gre: contest now nearing an it in equity for an account- r out of the fact that J. Ladd owned nearly 8000 ock of the Oregon Steam vigation Company, and tha Mrs. iler, who is one of the part to the suit now pending, was the ‘widow of J. W. Ladd. The fight grows out of the fact that Mrs. Hiller alleges that her late hus- band's brother, W. S. Ladd, who wd one of the executors of her husband's estate, fraudulently procured a trust in his favor, under which he took posse: sion of all her property and business; that he fraudulently, and by means of threats of expensive litigation, induced her to sign an agreement by which the will of J. W. Ladd was construed to her but half the estate, including community property, instead of ccluding such tions are of the most serious character. It is alleged that Ladd fraudulent omitted from the inventory h brother’s estate 7600 shares of stock in the Oregon pany, and that other equally fraudu- lent transactions were indulged in from time to time. In all the many allegations and is- sues at stake there arises the old que tion of the woman's delay. Accord- ing to all the evidence she knew of her cause of action for more than twenty | years, yet did not act. Judge Bellinger | decided in favor of the Ladd estate on | the ground of the delay and for other causes which appeared in the record. The record in the case has many ref- erences to such well-known matters as the historic Jay Cooke failure, in which the Ladd interests flzured to a large extent. The appellants ara very severe in their briefs, alleging that the late | | W. 8. Ladd in no manner hesitated to | “pluck” his brother’s widow in court. The decision of the many issues in- | volved in the case will be watched with | great interest. The case was submit- ted at the last term, but the amended briefs were filed this weel OHN ALLMAN’S TROUBLES. Sentenced to Six Months for Petty Larceny and a Burglary Charge Entered Against Him.

She Is In- | { tended for the German Inter-island Trade and Will Enter Into | | Competition With American Owned Vessels. JILL FLY THE GERMAN FLAG :The Auxiliary Schooner Hercules Is for a Ger- man Firm. | Built in San Francisco to Com- pete With American Traders. | Two Warships, the Alertand Marietta, | Leave for Central America This Week. The auxiliary schooner Hercules, built at Benicla by Turner for a Ger- man firm, attracted considerable atten- tion on the water front yesterday. She is a handsome craft and will be used exclusively in the island trade. Her sails will be depended upon except when head winds are encountered, then | her machinery will be called into play. Gasoline iIs to be used as fuel and with a fifty-horse power engine it is ex- pected that she will be able to develop a speed cf at least 9 knots. The Hercu- | les is the first vessel to be bullt in Call- | fornia for a German firm and to at | once recelve a German register. As soon as she was launched the German Consul issued papers to her and the | German fi was hoisted over the schooner. When' she leaves here next month she will fly the German flag and under it will go a general cargo for German traders in the Marquesas. On her arrival in the South Seas the schooner will be at once placed in com- mission and will begin regular monthly trips among the islands, collecting cop- | ra, pearl shell and vanilla beans for ex- | port to Germany. The Germans have secured a firm hold on the trade of the Southern seas, and, sisted by England and France, ave almost driven American trade to the wall. Not so many years ago San Francisco was the home port for a | large fleet of island traders, now the s that clear from this port for Tahitl, the Marquesas, the Carolines and Samoa can be counted on the fin- | gers of one hand. f | Another vessel i3 to'be placed on the berth for Copper River. The La Ninfa is to be again placed in commission and | will leave for Orca station on Febru- ary 1. If those who go up on her have no better luck than those who made the last venture their lines will not be sown in pleasant places. The W. S. Phelps, that took up a party several months ago, has n due back here | for a week past, but as no definite news | was receivec that she was not able to get away as soon as was expected. ft will be known how the miners who |left here last November In search of g0ld on the river's banks have fared. The sloop-of-war Alert is to start for Central America to-day, and the gun- boat Marietta is expected to get away | | for icaragua the latter part of the week. The gunboat is expected down | from Mare Island to-day, and herstores | will be placed abrard at once. On her | arrival in Central American waters she will be expected to lend all possible as- sistance to the Nicaragua Canal Com- | mission. | _The Pacific Mail Company's steamer City of Peking, which left here Decem- ber 18, arrived at Yokohama on the 7th | instant. This is the steamer’s one-hun- | dredth round trip, but nevertheless she s making better than the average time. | She was delayed at Honolulu on the | way out. | _The Pinta is belng got ready a? the Mare Island Navy Yard for the San Diego maval battalion. Her engines have been taken to pieces, and will be put in thorough order while the vessel will be put In perfect order from stem | to stern. The Pinta will be a very handy vessel for the boys in blue at | San Diego, while some think that the | Marion, a 2000-ton ship, will be too large for the San Francisco division to handle. The Camanche was taken to Mare Island on Sunday In four hours. She was placed alongside the Marion, and a detail of men was left at the yard to transfer the battalion’s coal from one vessel to the other. The river steamers to Vallejo will be kept busy to-night owing to the Griffo- McConnell fight. The Grace Barton will leave Washington-street whart at 4, and the Sunol at 6:30, the latter boat | returning to San Franclsco after the fight. The Pinta will run between the California Powder Works, Selbys, Ro- | deo and Crockett. Other boats wiil car- | ry passengers, and it is expected that San Francisco and Port Costa will send | fully 1300 men to the fight.

Judge Conlan Positively Re-| fused to Concur in the Suggestions. The Polnts Ralsed by Chief Lees | Proved a Veritable Stumbling | Block to the Judges. The well-meant efforts of the police judges to formulate a set of rules for | their guidance have ended in smoke. Judge Conlan was the first stumbling block in the way. He did not attend | the meeting on Saturday afternoon | when the suggestions were made by the | other three judges and prosecuting at- torneys. A copy of the suggestions had been sent to him and yesterday he expressed | his opinion very strongly against them. “I am perfectly satisfied,” he sald| yesterday, “with the existing order of | things. The proposal to take the as- | signment of cases out of the hands of the police department is, In my opin- fon, unconstitutional. An ordinance of | the Board of Supervisors gives the | Chief of Police power to depute one | of his officers for that duty and to fur- | nish a transcript of the cases to each | judge every morning. This has been | going on very satisfactorily and I see no reason for changing it. “The proposition to equally divide the cases whether the arrests are made by warrant or not is absurd. The swear- ing to the complaint and the issuance | of a warrant in a court gives that par- ticular court jurisdiction, and if the change were made as suggested it/ would not only be fllegal, but would in- volve us in a maze of complications and | disputes. “I am also unalterably opposed to any | proposition to limit the rights of a per- | son arrested by refusing to accept bonds for his release at any time, whether midnight or not. I shall re- lease a man whenever satisfactory bonds are submitted to me no matter | what time of night he Is arrested. In | regard to the releasing of a man on his | own recognizance unless the case is in | my_own court I shall continue to do | as 1 have been doing. The old rule is | all right if judges will only take the | trouble to ascertain the class of citi- zens they are dealing with. “I am agreeable to take my turn at remaining in chambers until 5 p. m. I would also agree to the suggestions regarding the interpreters of the court, the order of business and giving the prosecuting attorneys alone power to permit an attorney to ist them in the | prosecution of a case. Outside of these | propositions I think all the others are wrong."” | At 4 o'clock In the afternoon Judges Campbell, Low and Joachimsen, with their prosecuting attorneys, met in Judge Joachimsen's chambers to con- sider the suggestions made at the meeting on Saturday. They had be come conversant with Judge Conlan’s opinion and it was at once seen that he had made them ponder. The first sug- gestion taken up was the changing of the assignment of cases. Judge Camp- bell intimated that he was not to be at the dictation of Chief Lees or the Po- lice Department as to running his court and he thought the change should be adopted. He admitted, however, that the department could easily work its ownendsby keeping a man arrested for a felony in the “tanks” until the entry on the prison register would come in the regular rotation to the court where they wanted the case taken. Judge Low referred to the Hoff case as an {llustration of how the depart- ment could get a case assigned to a particular court, which brought forth a remark from Judge Joachimsen of “no personalities.” An attempt was made to pass that particular suggestion until the others were considered, but Judge Low in- sisted that it should be decided upon at once. After some desultory discussion there was a general feellng that without Judge Conlan’s consent nothing defi- nite could be done, and as he positively refused to attend any of the meetings it was decided to adjourn sine dle. ’John Elliott, Thomas Meherin, | was commenced before Judge Low yes- | licemen Flynn, | citizen of Arkansas, and that John is and whose home is at Johannesburs, | struck it rich in the mines there on his | recent vacation.

The Preliminary Examination of George Tauchi Commenced Before Judge Low. The preliminary _examination of | George Tauchi, the Japanese charged | with the murder of Mary Castillo, at | 901 Sacramento street, on December 26, terday afternoon. Attorney Archie Campbell appeared for the defendant. The witnesses examined were the| same as at the Coroner's Inquest, and | their evidence was practically on the | same lines. | The witnesses were Dr. Gallagher, | the autopsy physician; Louis Fau and | wife, Maria, at whose house the girl | was murdered; Mrs. Lulu Hatfleld, Po- Peshon and Clark and Detectives Gibson and Wren. This was the case for the prosecution, and a continuance was granted till to- day. when the defense will state their case. A GHOST IN THE BLYTHE CASE Answer to the Ejectment Suit by the Kentucky Claimants. Florence Denies That One Is a Blue | Grass Colonel or That the Other Is an Arkansan. The ghost of the Kentucky Blythes | stalked Banquo-like in the United States Circult Court yesterday after-| noon, and it stalked with a grim air of | determination-not to be downed. But| the enemy holding the coveted fort sniffed scornfully at the warlike wraith, and even went so far as to as- sert that the ghost was neither a resi- dent nor a citizen of Kentucky, nor of Arkansas. This was too much for even | a ghost to bear, and it disappeared out of the windows with a wild shriek. Two years ago, or to speak more pre- cisely, on December 17, 1895, Henry Thomas Blythe of Arkansas and John W. Blythe of Kentucky began a suit in ejectment in the United States Cir- cuit Court against Florence Blythe Hinckley, the premises involved being | the Blythe estate. After the usual de-I lays incident to the administration of the law an amended complaint was | filed, and the matter was laid to rest until the courts, both State and Fed- eral, had decided that the property be- longed to Florence as the rightful heir. ‘What was popularly supposed to be the cleanup of the litigation was accom- plished about a month ago by Judge Morrow, but only the court and the lawyers on both sides knew that the suit in ejectment was lying in a pigeon- hole in the office of the Clerk of the United States Circuit Court. | Yesterday the first step toward clean- ing up this suit was taken when W. H. H. Hart, on behalf of Mrs. Hinckley, filed an answer to the amended com- plaint. The answer is lengthy and de- nies almost everything set forth in th complaint by the Blythes from Ken tucky and Arkansas, and even denies | that Thamas is or was a resident o or was a resident of the Blue Grass State. It sets forth the fact that all the courts that have had anything to doi with the case have declared that Flor- ence is the owner of the estate, and | asks that the plaintiffs be sent out of court and that they be made to pay the costs of the suit. Struck His Father, Danlel Conley, 411 Harison street, swore to a complaint in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday for the arrest of his son, Joseph, who is 24 years of age, on a charge of battery. aniel says that his | son is too lazy to work, and when he told him yesterday morni to go and get something to do he struck him on the neck, knocking him down. Her Ambltion Crushed. Nora Sullivan, the young girl who ran away from her home in Oakland to join a local women's football team, was sent to the Magdalen Asylum yesterday by Judge Conlan. Her mother was in court, and told the Judge that the girl was in- corrigible. NEW TO-DAY. Chief Lees, whose opinion was ex- pressed in yesterday's Call, smiled when he learned of the outcome of the meeting. He pointed out that he was by law the executive officer of the Po- lice Courts, and that by an ordinance of the Board of Supervisors he was au- thorized to detail an officer to assign the cases to the different courts, which had always been done equitably and without bias.

This is all very true, but there is no reason why man or woman should indigestion when there is means of preventing it. Thou- sands of people have discovered a sure cure and some of them have given the public the benefit of their experience. Mrs. E. Tarlton, 345 Park avenue, Cincinnati, : “I had dyspepsia for fifteen years and was entirely cured by taking Duffy’s pure malt whiskey. T had tried almost eve hing and know t[h:\t this whiskey cures where all others ail.” ‘W. F. Anderson, 617 W. Indiana street, Chicago, says: “T used Duffy’s pure malt whiskey for indigestion and dyspepsia. My stomach is now in bet- ter condition than it has been for years past.” These are only two cases selected from thousands of others, but they are sufficient to prove that dyspepsis indigestion can be always avoided by the regular use of Duffy’s pure malt. It will not only keep the digestive or- gans in perfect condition, but give tone and energy to every part of the body. Make sure that you get no inferior imi- tation. No deception practiced.
