It | was evident before the meeting was an hour old that the majority was pre- | pared to “‘do business” of almost any de- | scription; this became conviction by the | time of adjournment. But Mr. Hol- | brook manfully filled his part, and as a reward for his supposed désertion he was | given the chairmanship of the Finance | Committee because of his known ability. Bergerot was decided upon as president of the board in place of Stow, and all the committees were made up according to the majority’s ideas of the fitness of things.

C., Berkeley, Cal.—Dear Sir: As one of the alumni of the University of California, class of ’68, I feel that it is not presumptuous for me to suggest a nomina- tion for the presidency, now vacant. I will suggest the name of Dr. Jacob Voorsanger of San Francisco, and request that the name may be referred to your special committee ap- pointed to comsider che sub- ject. If given an opportunity to do so I will undertake to explain my reasons with pleasure, believing as I do that both the State and the university would be benefited by the election of the doctor, if he can be prevailed upon to accept.

This decision was arrived at about one year ago, but as they were only 18 and 15 vears old respectively the mother of the lady thought otherwis The young chains of love which bound their hearts together would not loosen, however, and their brains were set to work weaving out devices by which: they could surmount mllm? i i parental objections. According to the young man's story he threatened elope- ment on several occasions, and the moth- er stoutly informed him that she cared little what course he pursued. It is re- ported that about four days ago they took advantage of Mrs. Raymond’s in- difference and sought to leave the city and its troubles far behind. This attempt was frustrated by the appearance of Westerfeld Sr., who captured his son’s valise and turned his footsteps homeward. Thursday afternoon the trend of events ran more in their favor, and they were successful in taking passage to Stockton unhindered. Their = honeymoon ended abm‘;’tly yesterday ~morning, notwith- standing their precautions, when a police officer, acting under instructions from this city, arrested them and detained them in the private office of Chief Gall. Last evening the father of the boy tele- graphed a request that.they be returned to n_Francisco, and Captain XKings- bury of Stockton left with them on the afterncon train.

When we started we did not know where we Chief Lees yesterday received a dis- patch from the police of Butte City, Mont., asking him to arrest Harry Luke, who, with his wife and child, arrived here several days ago. Luke is wanted for forgery. The police of Butte City are very anx- fous to get him, and have wired Chief Lees to spare no expense in running him down. From this the police here are sat- isfled that Luke is wanted on more than one charge of forgery. Last night the following dispatch con- cerning him was received from Montana: BUTTE, Mont., Dec. 30.—Harry Luke is wanted in Butte for forging the name of Hon. William Owsley' to & note for $75. Young Luks | belongs to @ well-known and prominent family in Helena. A few months ago he came to | Butte and shortly after hls arrival he sold a note to Abe Itkin, a_pawnbroker. The note was for only $75, ran for sixty days, and bore the well-known hame of Mr. Owsiey, in addi- tion to that of Luke. When it became due Luke had disappeared and Itkin asked Owsley to pay it. Owsley pronounced his name on the | note a forgery, but Itkin brought suit against | him in a justice court and Mr. Owsley again denled that he had any knowledge of the note and did not sign it. Itkin lost the case and then placed the matter in the hands of the au- thorities and they have been looking for young Luke. The fact that Luke is well connected and comes from & prominent Helena family has made the case of more interest than the amount involved in the forgery would other- wise have created. TLuke had been in the insurance business in Butte for some time before he committed the forgery. - It appears that he got the best of several other parties in Butte for varfous | amounts, and it is sald that he has been kept out of trouble before on account of his family. The fact that he is In San Francisco was dfs- closed yesterday by & letter received from him by one of his creditors. ——————— - The Holiday Wasp.

UNDUE INFLUENCE INTIMATED THERE ARE TWO WILLS AND TWO LEGATEES. Mrs. J. G. Clark as President of the King’s Daughters Will Contest Shannon’s Claim. When Mrs. A. M. Wickes died at Fablo- la Hospital on November 5 of this year, and five days later her will was filed for probate, the reading public of Oakland and San Francisco was surprised to find that J. M. Shannon, her attendant physi- cian at the hospital, was made the sole legatee of an estate that exceeded $50,000 in value. That is but a single portion of the story, the most interesting and sen- sational incidents of which will soon be aired in court. Before Dr. Shannon is vested with the title to the property be- queathed him he will be forced into a le- gal battle by Mrs. J. G. Clark, the well known philanthropist of this city and the Mrs. Clark is also a claimant to the same property, but under a different will, one made and executed by A. M. Wickes, who for four years preceding his demise, which occurred on December 24 last, was an inmate of the King's Daughters’ Home in this city. He bequeathed his entire es- tate consisting of 640 acres of fertile land in Fresno County, valued at $85 an acre, to Mrs. J. G. Clark as president of the King's Daughters. Which of the two wills the law will determine valld is a question for judicial solution, over which verhaps the courts of both Oakland and Ban Francisco will be obllged to labor. A. M. Wickes, who was 62 years of age at the time of his death, was for a long time clerk of the Grand Hotel. He was frugal and saving, putting aside a portion of his earnings for real estate Investment. The 640 acres in Fresno County are valued at $54,400, the management of which passed to Mrs. Wickes when her husband bought a life entrance to the King's Daughters’ Home four years ago. The reason of his desire to become an inmate was that he suffered from locomotor ataxia and wished constant attention. At no time did he show any lapses of mind or indica- tions of insanity. In September of this year Mrs. Wickes became_ill and_entered Fabiola Hospital, where Dr. J. M. Shannon attended her. It appears that she was desirous of join- ing her husband at the King's Daughters’ Home and had made an application to Mrs. Clark with that intention. Mrs, Clark_wrote to the Fabiola physician inquiring about the nature of Mrs, Wickes' illness, but received no reply, and the wife of the old hotel clerk remained at the hosnital. “On October 5, said Mrs. Clark yvester- day afternoon, “I visited Mrs. Wickes at the hospital. T found her in a wretched mental condition. She grasped me in her all now. I couldn’t help myself. What will poor Wickes do?” It was on this date that she signed the will which left the property to Dr. J. M. Shannon. ‘At any rate Dr. Shannon will not get the money. Mr. Wickes dled after his wife and, even admitting that the proper- ty was controlled by her while he was an inmate of the home, it reverted to him upon her death. The property was be- queathed to me for the benefit of the Home and I think the courts will settle it that way. For four years I was a devoted friend to Mr. Wickes, and he always said that I was to have the estate. The matter {8 now In the hanus of my attor- ney. The hearing for the probate of Mrs. Wickes' will was called, but has been postponed three times. It was an awful thing to do and 1 think that undue influ- ence was brought to bear upon the poor woman, who was bed-ridden the time she made the will leaving her husband's property to Dr. Shannon.” EVICT MOTHER AND CHILDREN Turned Out of a Cheerless Home on Tehama Street. Secretary Wadham of the Eureka So- clety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children investigated tne case of the family of Joseph Murray, at 31 Tehama street, yesterday afternoon. The husband as long been neglecting his wife and five children and spending his earnings in ~drink. When Secretary Wadham reached the house he found that a Dep- uty Sheriff had moved all the furniture of the little home out on the sidewalk upon a writ of ejectment issued by the court in the name of Miss F. E. Madison and_sister and sued for by Madison & Burke. It was learned that two months will be due on January 5, so there is real- Iy but one month owing now. The chil- dren are respectively 9, 8, 5 and 3 years, and there is a little tot of 20 months who is seriously ill with measles, but that did not prevent the owner of the premises from throwing them out on the street for rton-payment of the small sum of $8. Secretary Parnell learned that the hus- band was _ workin; at Broadway wharf, and he immediately went down there and placed him under arrest for failure to provide. He will be summarily dealt with. For months he has never brought anything home to eat and his family has been living on the charity of the neighbors. Mrs. Murray is a worthy woman, who works when she can, but her five children require her constant cere, especially the little one who is sick. Some friends took the six unfortunate ones to their home, «where they will be taken care of temporarily. Eecutnry Wadham will endeaver to have the young ones Rlaced in some public institution, and thinks the mother will be able to, take care of herself. As for the father a, term in jail will probably bring him to a realizing sense of his responsibilities. —_————— Booker T.
