MEYER, i>" Dapit \ clo Deputy ( of the Bupe Court. et Lol S The alleged disposition of Sherman’s | Interest in the Los Angeles Electric | Road was made to the Southern Pa- | cific Company very recently. In the | complaint it is alleged that Sherman, | while acting as trustee for the Pacific | Bank, during a period of four years, | appropriated to himself much of the | property and the earnings of the road. | During that time Sherman operated ab- | solutely without the necessity of ac- | counting to any one. The bondholders sacrificed the interest on the investment | and Sherman used the earnings of the | road as he pleased. It is stated, in the | complaint, that the net profits of the | road average $50,000 a month, and the | Pacific Bank now demands from Moses H. Sherman a strict accounting for that | money. Tt will be shown at the trial that during this time Moses H. Sher- | man secured a franchise for a road to | Pasadena and Santa Monica over the | tracks of the Los Angeles Electric | Road. | He built this new road out of the | earnings of the Los Angeles road, and | he to-day retains absolute nossession of them, not only for the profits they bring to him, but as a weapon of com petition that may be used at any mo- ment to fight the Los Angeles road. It is claimed also that out of the earnings of the Los Angeles Electric road Sher- | o= built his Phoenix Electric road. | This concern was at first a horsecar line, which Sherman extravagantly bonded for $66,000.

Sherman said that Electric Railroad to the Fhoenix con- cern, Sherman increased the bdnd in- debtedness of the Phoenix road to $166,- 000, and made the People’s Home Sav- ings Bank take the additional $100,000 in worthless bonds. It will be remem- bered that Sherman’s accommodating relative, John E. Farnum, forced the McDonalds to accept these bonds. This is some of the evidence that will be presented to force M. H. Sherman to an accounting of his alleged trustee- ship. The Pacific Bank has therefore good reasons to believe that in forcing from Moses H. Sherman a quarter of a million dollars of his ill-gotten gains, and in demanding from him a strict accounting of his operations, the creditors of the bank will have restored to them dollar for dollar. It was the purpose of The Call in publishing the long s~ries of stories ex- posing the secret history of the bank to assist these creditors to a realiza- tion of their hopes of restitution. The Call has for the present concluded its long expose. Man: of the most im- portant documents of the Pacific Bank have not been published for the simple reason that they will be necessary as evidence in the lewal actions that have been undertaken to restore to their rightful owners the misappropriated property of the bank.

Each column of narrative as told in The Call has been as a broad highway over which the minions of the law are, at last, hurrying toward their cowering prey. ' “The Call,” said an attorney for the depositors last evening, “made clear the way. The present managers of the Pacific Bank were fairly well satisfled where and how the funds went.

The pres- | ent managers of the bank, he stated, | were pursuing an inquiry slowly along | these lines when The Call turned the | light of day upon a wonderful revela- tion. Judge E. D. Sawyer, one of the| attorneys for the Pacific Bank, made in substance the same statement and expressed the same unbounded confi- dence in the ultimate outcome of the | suit and the complete disgorgement of | at least Moses H. Sherman. Judge S. C. Denson gave the follow- ing substance of the complaint which contains the story of the bank’s ad- vance to Sherman of funds for the re- lief of his Los Angeles Consolidated | Electric Railroad: ‘“‘Sherman was the organizer, or at least, one of the early managers of the Los Angeles Consolidated Electric Rail- road Company, and was backed in the scheme financially by the Pacific Bank | under the McDonald management. Thy | company issued bonds upon its prop- | erty for money to construct its lines | and to fully equip them. The bank| advanced money, taking some of the railroad bonds as security to the extent of over $300,000. As a part of the ar- rangement between Sherman and the bank it was agreed that a majority of the stock, that is, 51 per cent, or 25,508 shares, should be controlled by the bank and Sherman. And to that end that amount of stock was placed in the hands of B. O. Carr, Sherman’s broth- er-inJaw. The 49 per cent of stock, or 24,500 shares, were to be disposed of to other people. “Presently Sherman reported to the bank that more money was wanted, That institution, under the McDonald system of princely spendings, was be- ginning to feel a squeeze and objected to this further drain. Sherman said the money must come, and threatened to levy an assessment on the stock, which the bank would have to pay, but finally proposed that if the managers would deposit with him the 51 per cent of stock, the 25,500 shares, he had a friend who would advance $150,000. of the proceeds or earnings of the rail- road or otherwise. “Sherman got possession of the stock, but did not procure the loan; neither did he return the stock. In 1894, by rep- resenting himself as the owner of all that stock, he made a new deal in which he procured other stocks and bonds upon the surrender of the orig- Inal stock. Within the present year he has sold those stocks and bonds, so the ank {s Informed, for $500,000. “This suit is to adjudge him a trustee to the extent of one-half of the 25500 shares of the original stock and to re- quire him to account for the profits and proceeds of the same. It is confidently expected that the bank will recover a judgment of not less than $250,000. The evidence produced seems to me amply sufficlent to establish the averments and the bank ought to recover the en- tire sum.” pe s SHERMAN, OF COURSE, SAYS IT IS NOTHING LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30.—M. H.Sher- man was seen to-night at Hotel West- minster and informed that Henry Meyer, president of Pacific Bank, had filed suit against him to recover value of a half-interest in 25,500 shares of stock in the Los Angeles Consolidated Electric there was absolutely nothing in the suit. Further than that he declined to speak. MRS. BOTKIN’S TRIAL. Judge Cook to Take Up the Poisoning Case To-Day. The trial of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin for the murder of Mrs. John P.

HOU art sanctified to me according to thé law 'of Moses and Israel.” These words were breathed by Herinan Cohn °to the woman who was formerly a gentile, as. they stood before Rabbi N. Mosessohn and participated in the solemin Jewish ceremonies which made them man T and wife, according to the teachings of the Israelite. The words made all parties interested happy save one, and that one is the mother of the bride, who from the first opposed the idea of her daughter becoming a proselyte. On September 20 of this.year Miss Jessie Rowena Taylor, aged 19 years, became the bride of Herman Cohn, aged 35. She heing a Christian the ceremony at that time was performed in a manner prescribed by her. They took up their abode with his parents, 462 Tehama street, and since that time every effort has been. rhade In the household to induce the young girl to embrace the faith of her husband. She declined to listen to their requests at first, but appeals so pathetic reached her that she relented and decided to exist with her husband in thought and belief. Her mother im- plored her to reconsider her decision, but she remained firm. The mother was asked to attend the ceremonies, at which her daughter would relin- quish the creed in which she had been born, but she declined. Last evening at 7 o'clock a large congregation assembled in the Congre- gation Chebra Tehillim to witness the ceremonies. The bride first re- leased all claim upon the Christian faith. She answered the rabbi that she did so freely and voluntarily and was not-actuated by a fear that her husband would desert her should she remain outside the flock. Nothing in all her answers would indicate that her husband or any of his family had ever urged her to become one of them. She had been baptized earlier in the day, but the ceremonies are formal and not counted as much by the Jews. § At half-past 7 the canopy was spread over the man and woman, whose previous marriage had been annulled, and they accepted all the condi- tions that will make their belief in God in unison until death. She was given the name of Ruth and must cast aside her pretty appellation of Jes- sle Rowena. She is the first proselyte in this congregation, and there but few in the city.

THREE ARE AGREED UPON EMBRACE CUBA, PORTO RICO, 'GUAM AND PHILIPPINES. Remaining Matters for Consideration Include Release of Political Prisoners and Religious Freedom. Special Dispatch to The Call. PARIS, Nov. 30.—The United States Peace Commission held a sesslon to- day for the purpose of discussing the draft of the treaty articles made yes- terday by Secretaries Moore and Ojeda. The final preparation of these articles was concluded and the revised draft was then turned over to the typewrit- ers, while the Commissioners hastily lunched prior to the hour fixed for the Joint session. The Spaniards arrived first at the conference chamber. They were quick- ly followed by the American Commis- sioners, with the exception of Judge Day and Secretary Moore, who waited for the prepared copy of the articles, and who arrived at the conference half an hour later. The two commissions then began the discussion of the formulated protocol agreements and the subdjects for ne- gotiation, all of which were presented to the joint commission in a form ac- ceptable to the Americans. The joint Commissioners devoted two hours and a half—from 2 to 4:30 p. m.— to drafting the three first articles of the peace treaty protocol, dealing with the cession of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, upon which the mem- bers agreed in principle. There were’ thirteen articles laid be- fore the two commissions, covering the following subjects: 1. The relinquishment of sovereignty over and claim of title to Cuba. 2. The cession of Porto Rico and other Spanish possessions*in the West Indies, together with Guam, in the Ladrones. 3. The cession of the Philippines. . 4. The terms of the evacuation of the Philippines. 5. e pledge of the United States to reserve order in the Philippines pending he ratification of the treaty. §.

A revival of the treaties broken by the war. The first three articles were mutually agreed upon to-day, as was also the article embodying the terms of the evacuation of the Philippines, which will be practically the same as in the evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico. The mutual release of military pris- oners was agreed upon, Spain liber- ating the rebel prisoners and the United States liberating the Manila garrison and the Spaniards held by Aguinaldo. The political prisoners to be released by Spain are such as are now in exile at Ceuta in Morocco or at other Span- ish penal settlements. Dalily sessions will be held here, and it is now believed that the work will be possibly concluded this week, al- though so early a termination is not probable. The foregoing list of subjects under consideration does not show the precise order in which the articles were l'aid before the Spanish Commissioners to- day, and in fact only eight of the thir- teen articles were discussed. Four points arose about which the Spaniards desired to consult Madrid and two upon which the Americans will consult with Washington. 3 After the session and the departure of the Spanish Commissioners the Ameri- cans remained in the conference cham- ber for an hour in executive session. The adjournment was taken until 3 o’clock to-morrow. TAYLOR CRITICIZES THE SETTLEMENT WITH SPAIN NEW YORK, Nov. 80.—Hannis Tay- lor, late American Minister to Spain, publighes in the December number of the North American Review a scathing criticism of the work of the American Peace Commission. Taylor contends that in the negotiations with Spain re- specting Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil- ippines the members of the commission should have been guided by the prece- dent establishd by this country in its dealing with Mexico after the victorious issue of the Mexican war. Then, h=says, we refused, as Mexico lay helpless at our feet, to take from her a single square mile of territory by right of con- STEAMER SUNK IN KOOTENAI LAKE i s @ Of the Twelve Persons Aboard’ the Ainsworth but Three Reach Shore. VICTORIA, Nov. 30.—News reached here this afternoon cf the loss of the steamer Ainsworth, which plied be- tween Kaslo, Nelson and other points on Kootenai River and Lake. She was swamped during the terrific gales which swept this province last night about five miles south of Balfour, and all on board, save the captain, chief engineer and a seaman, who reached shore in the lifeboat, were drowned. The vic- tims numbered nine in all, three of whom were passengers. The Ainsworth left Nelson last even- ing on her usual trip despite the fierce gales and made good time, the wind be- ing behind her, until when off about six miles south of Pilot Bay, where the big Pilot Bay smelters are located. There the winds veered and caught her on the starboard side. She was about two and a half miles from shore, when, dur- ing a heavy sea, a great squall struck her, and she commenced to take in water. ‘Water poured into her hold through the seams, which opened until her hull was like a sieve. Captain McLean im- mediately headed her for the shore and she raced at full speed toward the land, the intention being to run her ashore before she could founder. The water poured into the doomed vessel too rap- idly and before she had gone a half mile she filled and sank beneath the waters of the lake. A As she went down Captain McLean and First Engincer Kane und J. Don- nelly, a seaman, cut the lifeboat loose, and in it they reached the shore, after a six-hours’ battle with the waves. All the others were drowned. The lost were: CHARLES CAMPBELL, a merchant of Kuskanook, B. C. TWO ITALIANS Kuskanook. PERRY, mate. JAMES McNEIL, fireman. JOHN GURN, steward. JOSEPH DAVIES, deckhand.

She was owned by Braden Brothers of the Pilot Bay Smelter. For eight years she has been running on Kootenai Lake. She has been tied up for some time past and was considered by the majority of the navigators of Kootenai district an unsafe vessel. Two well-known shipping men from that district, who are now in this city, said to-day that the news of her loss did not come to them as a surprise. They expected it long ago. There are persistent rumors of the loss of another ol the sternwheelers running on Kootenai Lake, but no veri- fication of the reports can be obtained. ‘who embarked at quest. Our Commissioners were in- structed to offer her $11,000,000 in cash and the assumption upon our part of more than $3,000,000 due from her to American citizens, as compensation for the area out of which has been cairvel California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. “‘And thus,” says Taylor, “was estab- lished a new principle of moral iaw which stands alone, perhaps, in the an- nals of nations.” RELEASE OF PRISONERS AND TARIFF ADVANTAGES MADRID, Nov. 30.—The Cabinet’s in- structions to Senor Montero Rios, which were drawn up last evening, were to request the immediate release of the Spanish prisoners in the Philip- pine Islands, to negotiate navigation and tariff advantages in the Philippines in favor of Spain, to obtain a ratifica- tion of several treaties of commerce with former Spanish possessions; also an arrangement of the debt of the Philippines and if possible of the Cu- ban debt. The Government also agreed to refuse a ratification of the protocol of 1877. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—The proto- col of 1877, which the Spanish Govern- ment has notified her Commissioners not to revive, is the celebrated Cush- ing protocol which has been a source of much corespondence between the two Governments, and ;vat ln:’pked br’; _thtls Goyernment a number of times prior to ak of hdnulfln;‘agl The ‘proto- col ‘was ‘framed with special reference to the outbreaks in Caba aga{nst Spain and now that she has lost nearly all of her colonies and especially those near our soil, has not its former importance to the United States. Its aim was to guarantee our citizens protection against summary and secret legal pro- ceedings. ' Its first clause, which is fair- ly ‘descriptive of the whole protocol, provides that no citizen of the United States residing in Spain or her island possessions charged with conspiracy against the Government or any other crime shall be subject to trial by any exceptional tribunal unless captured with arms in hand, but instead shall be tried exclusively by the ordinary legal jurisdiction. NICARAGUA’S GRANT TO THE GRACE SYNDICATE NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—There has been much curiosity in financial circles about the terms of the recent grant of the Gov- ernment of Nicaragua to the Williaiu R. Grace syndicate of a secondary franchise to construct a canal through that coun- try from tidewater to tidewater. Through the courtesy of Willlam R. Grace the terms of the concession are now made public. After stating in the preamble that the Government of Nicar- interoceanic canal agua regards an through the Nie an Isthmus to be necessary, article I reads: “The Government of the State of Nicar- agua permits Messrs. Edward Eyre and HRward F. Cragin to enter into negotia- tions with the Maritime Canal Companv of Nicaragua for the purpose of obtaining the immediate rescission of ihe controct for constructing an interoceanic canal known as the Cardenas-Menocal contract, and dated April 24, 1897, whi contract shall terminate October 9, 1809." In consideration of this grant the grantees agree to form within six months after Messrs. Eyre and Cragin ‘‘notify the Government of Nicaragua that the Cardenas-Menocal contract has been re- scinded, or within six months following the day upon which said contract shall have ceased from any cause save that of rescision, to organize the Interoceanic Canal Company.’ Throughout the grant the express stipu- lation is made by the Nicaragua Govern- ment that the rights under ine franchise cannot be accepted until after it has been established that the Cardenas-Menocal contract has expired. et i, To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets, Al druggists refund the money if it falls to cure. 2.
