California Members Urged to Co-operate in Relief ‘Work. Close at Riverside of the State Con- vention of the Organiza- tion. Specfal Dispatch to The Call. RIVERSIDE, Feb. 26.—The morning session of the Young Men's Christian Association Convention began with a paper by Grove F. Ekins of Sacra- mento, entitled, “Our Young Men of To-Morrow Are the Boys of To-Day.” Mr. Ekins spoke of the urgent need of taking care of the boys before they beconie tainted with sin. A paper by W. E. Howard of Los Angeles on edu- cational work followed. It was an ad- mirable description of the work of the Los Angeles association along this line. “Spiritual Result in Educational ‘Work" was discussed in a paper read by H. J. McCoy. Mr. McCoy touched upon many useful points, and a lively discussion of the whole subject of the educational work followed. The convention then resolved itself into a business association. The time of the annual convention was changed from October to the third week in Feb- ruary in each year. The following were elected as members of the board of trustees of the California Young Men's Chris n Association: H. J. McCoy, San Francisco; James C. Chown, San Francisco; R. V. Watt, San Ftancisco; D. Edward Collins, Oakland; E. S. Field, Los Angeles; David Jacks, Mon- terey; Henry French, San Jose; George Quinan, San Bernardino; George W. Marston, San Diego; . E. Holden, Napa City; C. M. Parker, Pasadena. The convention passed a resolution of sympathy with those who are suffering in Cuba at the present time, and rec- ommended that individuals of the as- sociation co-operate for their relief as far as possible. The committee on the State’ committee’s report recommended the engaging of a State secretary and pledges were made for that purpose. The following were elected as mem- bers of the State committee: David Jacks, Monterey; Dr. C. M. Cooper, Campbell; C. M. Collins, Santa Cruz; H. F. Willlamson, Stockton; John F. Crowe, W. W. Roblee, Riverside; C. G. Baldwin, Claremont; Walter Miller, Palo Alto; G. W. Marston, D. C. Lock- wood, J. N. Freeman, San Diego; W. E. Howard, F. M. Porter, G. W. Parsons, Los Angeles; F. H. Rindge, S8anta Mon- ica; I. J. Truman, G. D. Fordenstock, J. Pfister, Edward Coleman, H. J. McCoy, Charles Maydell, San Fran- cisco; Charles M. Campbell, C. H. Dunn, Sacramento; D. Edward Collins, W. B. Fry, George T. Hawley, R. N. Cham- berlain, Noel J. Jacks, Oakland; N. Morton, San Jose. . The evening session was held in the Baptist church. One of the subjects discussed was ‘“An Evening With Young Men.” This was followed by, an | 80c yard. Hvery address by Professor G. C. Baldwin of Pomona College, which partook of the nature of a retrospect of the history and work of the association. The convention virtually closed to- night as far as regular work is con- cerned. To-morrow the delegates still here will attend services in the fore- noon. The convention has been one of the best ever held by the Young Men's |- Christian Association of California, and a great deal of work of a substantial character for the welfare of the society was accomplishes SUNDRY CIVIL BILL NOT COMPLTED. But Cannon Held the Floor With It to the Exclusion of Other Business. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—The House did not complete the consideration of the sundry civil bill to-day, but Chairman Cannon held the floor with it until ad- journment, refusing to yield to Boutelle, the chairman of the Naval Committee, who was anxious to secure consideration of the bill reported by his committee for the relief of the victims and survivors of the Maine disaster. 'About twenty pages of the sundry civil bill were disposed of to-day. Many ef- forts were made by different members to inject river and harbor items into the bill, three of them being successful; amend- ments anppropriating $300,000 for Cleveland harbor; 200,000 for Wilmington, Del., and increasing the appropriation for Boston harbor from $100,000 to $250,000 were adopted. As contracts for this work were authorized they were in order un- der. the rules. —_———— ‘The End Is Near.

Judge Hyland of San Jose De- cides Against the Prop- osition. Heirs of the Decedent Prevented From Settling Their Differ- ences Amicably. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Feb. 26.—The petition of George E. Barron for a termination of the trust created by the will of his fa- ther, Edward Barron, was denied by Judge Hyland to-day, and there is but little chance of a compromise of the contest of Edward Barron's will being effected. The decision is as follows: The petition of George E. Barron, filed in this court on the 1st day of February, 1898, asking for a decree terminating the trust bequest of $100,000 to the petitioner herein, and the creating of a4 new trust, is denied for the following reasons: All are not before the court, of the beneflciaries interested iIn “hat e Contingent Interest of tne un | born children of George E. Barron must| be preserved until the death of George Barron. All the parties in interest have not filed their written consent. The trust is a valid trust. is not impossible. The will 6f Edward Barron placed $100,000 in a trust fund for the benefit of George E. Barron, who was to have the income during life, and at his death | it was to be divided among his children. If George Barron died without any children the money was to go to his| brother or the latter’s heirs. The bal- ance of the estate, valued at $1,800,000, with the exception of $200,000 for W. R. Barron, another son, was given to Eva | Rose Barron, the widow. A contest of the will by George Bar« ron resulted in that instrument being set aside, on the ground of unsound- ness of mind of the decedent and un- due influence of his wife. A new trial was subsequently ordered, and then terms of a compromise were entered into. It Wwas prcposed to terminate the trust fund, giving George Barron $50,- 000 of the amount and $21,000 accrued interest. The other $50,000 was to be put into another trust fund.
