Franklin that his plaintiff, his true and lawful wife, was,a woman of low origin, illiterate, uncouth and but a semi-civilized Indian squaw; that she, this plaintiff, was old, ugly and undesirable in every respect as a wife and companion for said Jullus L. Franklin; that furthermore this plaintifft was living In a forelgn country and that in all probability he, Julius L. Franklin, would never see her again; that the said plaintiff had no more claim on him or his property; that it is | true that this plaintiff is of the American Indian birth and for thirty vears has lived outside the State of California, sep- arate and apart from Julius Frankiin, he having deserted her in or about the year 1871; that by means of said statements and representatiors and the constant repeti- | tion_thereof by Pauline Franklin, the mind and_affection of Jullus L. Franklin became alienated from this plaintiff, and he became persuaded that it was his moral duty to prevent this plaintiff from ever having it in her power to enforce her rights as a wife. That vielding to the said entreaties, importunities and representa- tions of defendant, Pauline Franklin Julius L. Franklin executed the aforesald instruments. The relief prayed for by the Indian wife is multiplex. She not .only asks for an annulment of all the deeds of gift from Julius L. to Pauline Franklin and a de- cree that the latter acquired no title to the transferred property, it being the community interests of the parties of the first marriage, but also for an accounting of rents and profits accruing from its use, injunction restraining defendants from nveying or incumbering the property and that a receiver should be appointed pending the trial of the case. The plaintiff is represented by J. F. Riley, F. H, Merzbach, L. Solomons and Garter, Dozier & Wells.

The Line Will Follow a Picturesque Course and Cross the Truckee River Three Times. new narrow-gauge railroad from Truckee to Lake Tahoe, is authority for the statement that the new survey for the line will begin in a few days. It will be an entirely new survey. The first one made in May, 1897, and was on the wa side of the Truckee River. The one now under consideration will run near the old survey most of the way, but will cross the river and go up on the east side along the canyon above where the Deer Park road turns off. The road will run along the south side of the Central Pacific Railroad track to the Truckee Hotel. It is expected that the latter company will build a sidetrack so that trains can be backed down and passengers and freight can be easily transferred to the new line running to Lake Tahoe. Work on the construction of the road, which will be fourteen miles long, will be commenced about the middle of May and will be completed in August. Wor will begin on the farther end of thé line as the rolling stock and locomotives used are to be transferred from Glenbrook on the eastern shore of the lake. A substan- tial roadbed will be built. As the road will cross the river three times as many bridges will be constructed of steel. Two assenger coaches and a baggage car have already been purchased by the com- pany from the St. Louis Southeastern Railroad. ——e———————— Who Struck Frank Kane?

A. Souc, the well-known Mission real estate man. Albert Horiger, the partner of Souc, has left fog parts un- known and he managed to take with him ali the ready cash of the ‘firm, besides leaving the books of the concern in such a jumble and chaotic state that it will take an expert to ascertaln the exact amount of his peculations, which cover a period of several years. Despite this, however, Souc has done the right thing by the creditors of the firm. He has turned over to Madison & Burke'all of the property and Attorney Bull of the firm of Crandall & Bull declares that all of the creditors will be satisficd and their losses made good. There are about 170 separate accounts which need adjustment and these claims will amount to $4000. Madi- son & Burke on Tuesday collected $750 irm and this amount will be used fir dating some of the claims.

For twenty-eight successive years the wholesale grocers and the retail trade have united to make the outing of the local Retail Grocers' Association a suc- cess. This year extra efforts are being put forth and the event, which comes off on Wednesday, May 10, at Schuetzen Park, will be marked by several unique events and a number of prizes much out of the ordinary.

T. Marshal Hale (chair- enses ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL AFFAIRS. Increase in the Number of Patients Necessitates Additional Buildings. At a meeting of the board of directors of St. Luke’s Hospital iast night the res- ignation of President Dr. J. V. D. Mid- dleton was received from New York. Dr. Middleton stated as his reason for resign- ing the presidency of the corporation that he was going to Europe on a lengthy tour. The resignation was accepted and the di rectors elected C. V. 8. Gibbs, the former president of the board, to the vacant chair. President Gibbs has been identi fied with the directory of St. Luke’s Hos- pital for a number of years and has dur- ing this period spent more time and given more financial ald to it than any other one man connected with the corporation. The question of extending Twenty-sev- enth street through the northern side of the grounds as advocated by an improve- ment_club in_that portion of the Mission was discussed in an informal sort of way. Sufficient, however, of the feeling of the directors was elicited to learn that the scheme_will be resisted by the stockhold- ers of St. Luke's Hospital. As to the pro- gressive spirit of the directors in aiding fmprovements in that portion of the Mis- sion they will join hands with the pro- gressionists in opening Duncan street on the southwest side of the hospital lot and will cheerfully contribute one-half of the expense attending the grading, sewering and paving of the same, putting it in that condition which will authorize its acceptance by the city. The question of providing more room for patients was discussed by the mem- bers of the board. It was stated that the hospital was now overcrowded and appli- cants had to be refused accommodation in_consequence. To provide for more ward accommoda- tion C. V. 8. Gibbs, Dr. George H. Pow- ers and Judge F. W. Van Reynegom were appointed a committee to procure an ad- ditional buildlnf, the expense of which is not to exceed $10,000. This limit, the di- rectors explained, was because it is the intention to erect an entire new building in the near future which will be an up- to-date affair, possessing all the very 1. est improvements known to medical sci- ence. The present building was erected nearly thirty years ago and at the time It was put up the site was on an island in the middle of the Mission Creek. Access to it was over a wooden bridge from Twen- ty-sixth street. Ever since its construc- Hon It has been a very popular place for patients and has had (he name of being well managed. —_——————— SHE KNEW OF THE WILL. Interesting Testimony n the Suit of Carrie Sankey Against the Cogginses. The action of Miss Carrie Sankey agalnst her ex-guardians, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Coggins, to recover property valued at about $30,000, is drawing to a close before Judge Belcher. The rebuttal opened when the case was called yester- day morning, and some interesting facts Nere ellcited. ‘Mrs. Coggins, in her testi- mony ‘given on direct examination, said that she did not know Miss Sankey had made a will in her favor. This testimony was refuted by Miss Bachus and Mrs. Katie A. Carter, both of these witnesses positively testifying that on several occa- sions Mrs. Coggins had conyersed with them regarding this matter. Miss Sankey was recalled for examination, and testi- fied that when she signed a release of all demands against her ex-guardians she was in a state of health bordering on col- lapse and did not know what she was do- ing. This testimony was the subject of numerous objections, but it all got in and will doubtless materially affect the de- termination of the case. % —_—————————— Off for Alaska.

Burns and Major McLaughlin Together Three Hours at the Palace. OVERNOR GAGE, Wendell Eas- ton, D. M. Burns and Frank McLaughlin were in conference at a room in the Palace Hotel from 2 o'clock until nearly 5 yesterday afternoon. E. F. Preston was expected but did not attend. The attendants after waiting nearly an hour for Mr. Preston began to discuss the subject which the conference was called to consider. Governor Gage, having determined to make a good many appointments to of- fice when he reaches Sacramento the latter part of this week, expressed a | desire to confer with certain Repub- licans who were active in the campaign last fall before announcing his selec- tions. In bringing the topic to the at- tention of the conference yesterday he spoke of his former declaration that he intended to recognize, in the distribu- tion of the patronage at the bestowal of the executive, the interests which largely contributed to the success of the party last November. He indicated that he had not changed his mind and would endeavor to recognize the lead- ing elements of the party in the dis- tribution of official patronage. The Governor is reported as having said that he would be guided by a de- sire to unite the conflicting elements in the party and so strengthen the party | to organization for the next campaign. He | disclaimed any -intention to reward in- dividuals for personal favors. He asked the men present to speak with- out resorvation. concerning the merit and fitness of applicants for the vari- ous positions. The story goes that sofme plain talk followed and more than a little feeling was exhibited when the talk became decidedly pointed. Surprise was mani- fested over the Governor intended to recognize the wishes of certain leading Republican but there was no open remonstranc One of the attendants had no he tion in saying that the future succe: of the party depended upon a recog- nition of all the leaders who had con- ibuted to the success of the Repub- n party in the election last Novem- When the names of applicants for office, together with the names of their respective indorsers, were read the in- terest in the proceedings became ani- mated. The Governor invited unre- | declaration that the | | served comment or criticism and at least one member of the conference ac- cepted the suggestion and spoke his mind freely as he had no favors to ask, no friends to reward and no enemies to punish. He professed to speak for what he believed to be the good of the service and the party welfare. As far as can be ascertained no agree- ment was reached yesterday in favor of any applicant. In some instances the members of the conference were not wide apart in their views, but the Gov- ernor did not signify that his choice was fixed. In two or three cases ob- Jjection to leading aspirants for political favor was so pronounced that a ‘‘turn- down” was regarded as inevitable. It was whispered last night that Jacob Steppacher would not be nominated Registrar of Voters. It was the sense of the conference that it would be wise for the Governor to recognize the labor organizations in the appointment of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, but the fact was stated that the organiza- tions had presented but one name. There was no enthusiasm for the one mmended. The Governor advised the conference that he had appointed Major Ben C. Truman to represent the region of Southern California at the Paris Expo- sition. Many names were canvassed for the other two places—one to repre- sent the central and the other the northern part of the State. An effort is being made to induce the Governor appoint the Democratic cemmis- ner from the central part of the ate, and E. B. Pond has been sug- gested as a proper man for the place. Drury Melone is said to be doing some missionary work in Pond’s behalf. The idea is advanced that one of the com- should be a rich missioners at least man, so that he could afford to spend money lav xposition. The slate fixed up at cramento some weeks ago contained the names of Ben Truman, Mark L. McDonald and M. H. de Young for the Paris Exposi- tion Commission. The declination of De Young affords opportunity for the revision of the general plan so as to take a Democrat from San Francisco and put in a Republican from the northern part of the State instead of McDonald. The Governor is said to be casting about for an acceptable Repub- lican in Sacramento. Herrin is said to have a friend in Shasta County who would be glad to get the job. After the conference dissolved the Governor was asked if anything had been done with reference to Mark McDonald’s case, and he replied that no action was taken thereon.

Deputy Immigration Commissioner Schell has made a report to Chief North of the case of Clara Sture, alias Clara Stewart, an 18-year-old girl, who arrived from England in July, 189. The girl had been subject to epileptic fits before her arrival here, and immediately after her arrival was sent to the City and County Hospital to be treated for the fits and a loathsome disease. The girl was then placed in the California Girls' Training School, and was afterward committed to the Stockton Insane Asylum. Her sister, Mrs. Minnie Sture of Mississippi street in this city, informed Captain Schell that she was unable to provide for the unfor- tunate girl and that she had no other relatives here. Captain Schell urges that Clara be sent back to England. ADVERTISEMENTS. entirely. spectfully, 702 Market St., cor. Kearny, S. F.
