LODGE of Wakefield, county of York, England, contesting the estate of the late capitalist John D. Lodge, who he claims was his father. Albert Lodge of Wakefield, England, claims to be the grandson of the late capitalist. ALBERT LODGE.. R R o R L e R e S who i § the son of Robert D. Lodge, L e e S T WU S AP W ) ANTA ROSA, March 23.—The start- ling allegations contained in the petition of Robert D. Lodge, who yesterday began contest proceedings | against the estate of the late John D. Lodge, the well-known local capitalist, who died here last October leaving prop- erty valued at a quarter of a million dol- lars, is the Everywhere people matter. The parties principally affected are all well known here. Mrs. Mathilda A. Prince, the principal ‘heir according to the provisions of the last will and testament of the aged money-lender, is his daughter and the wife of M. Prince, one of the best-known merchants in Santa Rosa. Berton Prince, another heir, is teller jn the savings bank of Santa Rosa, having secured his position something over a year ago through the influence of Mr. Lodge, who held considerable stock in that institution. David E. Lodge is a brother of Mrs. Prince and is also well known here. A The most startling feature of the alle- gations made by the contestant is the effect they will have on the heirs named in the will, providing, of course, that the charges are s tantiated when the matter comes to trial. In brief, the situation is this: Sarah Jane Harris, Prince and David E. Lodge are all ldren of the dead capitalist and Mar- Lodge, the lady always recognized here as his wife. The contestant claims that J. D. Lodge and Martha Lodge were never married, and that at the time they have been united in wedlock Redman Lodge, the rightful ully wedded wife Lodge married d in 1846, and afterward desert- are discussing the X ed to ¢ ed me to America, was still living, and though she was never divorced lived in Wakefield until her death, on Septem- ber 7, 158 D;cume‘ntary Evidence. | | It_was learned that R. W. &4 K. Miller, the attorneys for the con- | testant, claim to have Some Very strong | documentary evidence as to the_correct- | ness of their position. They have, or | claim to have, the original marriage cer- | tificate issued to John D. Lodge and Mary | Ann Redman by the vicar of the parish church in_Wakefield, county of York, England. This is dated February 23, 1846. They also have as exhibit No. 2 a certificate of birth and also one of bap- tism of Robert D. Lodge, the contestant, ate of baptism bearing date of January 20, 1850. They also hold a docu- ment purporting to be the deposition of Jane Blades, a sister of the deceased cap- italiet, who still lives In Wakefield, and who, it is understood, alleges that she was present at the wedding of her broth- er and Mary Ann Redman on February 23, 1846, that she was present at the chris- tening on January 20, 1850, that she has known Robert D. Lodge, the contestant, 2il his life and that she knows him to_be the sole heir and rightful legatee of her deceased brother. Petition in Court. In the Superior Court here this morning the petition flled yesterday came up for hearing and an order was issued directing John P, Overton, president of the savings bank of this city and the present adminis- trator of the Lodge estate, to appear on April 9 and show cause why his letters testamentary should not, in conformity | with the prayer of the petitioner, be re- voked, ang Edwin Reynolds, the adminis- trator asked for by the contestant, be sub- stituted in his place. It is admitted that one of the biggest legal battles in the history of Sonoma County is soon to begin in connection with the matter. All the parties concerned are | prominent, socially, financially and other- talk of Sonoma County. | | | | | wise; there is a big fortune at stake and what is of still more importance, it will be a battle for a name and the right to use it. The story of the Lodge esfate as so far told presents a striking illustration of the old adage concerning the frequency with which the best laid plans miscarry. During his lifetime Mr. Lodge always sald that none of his fortune would ever be dissipated in the courts. With that idea in view, being then in feeble health and bowed down by the weight of advancing years, he deeded something like $90,000 worth of his property to his wife in a lump. Although in good health at the time, a few weeks later she suddenly took sick and died, and the old man was forced to Invoke the assistance of the law and the courts to get this portion of his prop- erty back again. Estate in a Tangle. While these proceedings were still pend- ing Lodge himself died and several other attorneys were called in to help straighten out the tangle in which this left matters. A few weeks ago David E. Lodge accept- ed $20,000 in cash from the other heirs as his share of the estate and entered into an agreement to waive all future claim upon the estate in consideration thereof. Less than a week afterward Mrs. David Lodge, his wife, who resides in_Montana, brought suit against her husband for maintenance and demanded that the agreement referred to be set aside by the courts. That was less than a month ago, and now the present suit has been commenced as a climax to the whole series of contests. The big estate over which so much liti- gation has resulted was accumulated prin- cipalily in this county. Tn the pioneer days old man Lodge was engaged in the junk business, and also In merchandising in Petaluma. For several years he was a peddler. He was also a sewing-machine agent and brought the first sewing ma- chines—the old ‘“‘Florence”—into Sonoma County, dl.lv*o ing of them in all sorts of laces at prices ranging from $200 to $275. Juring his latter years he confined his attention to loaning money, collecting rents, clipping coupons and receiving divi- dends from different institutions in which he was interested. Partnership With Reynolds. In his business of lending money he w: uring_ the last few vears of his life in. timately associated with Edwin Reynolds, the local capitalist, whom the contestant now asks to have appointed in place of John P. Overton as administrator of the Lodge estate. Lodge and Reynolds han- dled most of their transactions together and were very intimate. Mr. Reynolds should have allowed his name to be used in the case is regarded oe Which for s long existed between the tag men, as very significant. It is argued that unless Mr. Reynolds knew what he was doing he would never have allowed himself to become a party to the action, and_the point is made that during the years of his Intimate acquaintance with his now deceased friend he had every op- | portunity to learn, if anybody ever Ald. the story of Mr. Lodge's early life across the water before coming to America in quest -of fortune. CHURCH ORG D FURNITURE CARRIED AWAY Bold and Successful Raid of Two Washington Thieves. o SPOKANE, Wash., March 23.—When the sexton of the Norwegian Lutheran Church went to prepare for the evening prayer mecting this afternoon he found the room barren of all furniture save the pulpit. The chairs, pews, organ and even the hymnbooks had disappeared. An investi- gation led to a discovery of the missing property in a second-hand store. The dealer claims that two well-dressed, dignified appearing, elderly men came to his store a few days ago and told him that the church was in financial distress and needed to raise money quickly to pay taxes. They preferred to sell the fprni- ture rather than borrow. A bargain' was struck for all the seats and the organ {or $50, and the hymnbooks were put in to sweeten the trade. The key was given the tradesman 2nd he removed the furni- ture in the afternoon unmolested, al- though the church is in the heart of a thickly populated portion of the city. The property was taken back to t{;e of the pawnshop keeper, who claimed he had let the money go out of pure charity. The swindlers have not n apprehended and the poiice can gather nio clew from the de- scription furnished. . Bold Daylight Robbery. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CHICO, March 23.—A daylight robbery oceurred In this city to-day which for boldness of conception and neatness of cx- ecution surpasses the postoffice robbery which occurred here some six weeks ago. Between 7:30 and 11 o'clock this morning a bold thief entered the barroom of tha | Park Hotel, Barker & Danlels, proprie- tors, extracted from a safe a sack con- taining $264 45 and made his escape with- out being heard or seen and without at- tracting the attention of several men er- gaged in a game of cards in an adjolning room, not twenty feet from the safe. The robber evidently knew the combination of the safe, as he turned the dial back to the proper place for throwing the bolls before opening the door. The theft was committed while Adolph Peters, the bar- ler;‘der, was getting bottled goods from the cellar. et i American Sailors Praised. Special Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, B.

SR VANCOUVER, B. C, March 23.—Ac- counts of a serious marine disaster in Australian waters were brought by the steamer Warrimoo from Sydney, which arrived to-day: A serfous loss of life occurred in the wreck of the cutter Espeigle, owned in Nukalofa, Tonga, which went to pieces on Otoma Reef, when Captain John Cas- tle and twenty Tongans were drowned. A valuable cargo was also lost. Another total loss was that of the four- masted French bark Emile Renouf, from Thio, New Caledonia, for Glasgow. She carried a go of 3700 tons of nickel ore. On February 6 she ran upon an uncharted rock eighty miles south of Mare Isle and sank immediately. The crew of thirty-six, with the wife and children of the com- mander, Captain Bougue, escaped in two small boats, without food or water, so sudden was the disaster. The shipwrecked company remained in the boats for a night and a day, but on the second night they were picked up and landed safely at Noumea.

WASHINGTON, March 23.—Through the efforts of Representative Kahn an amend- ment will be proposed to the Hawalian bili by the terms of whiclf the entrance of Chinese from Hawall to the United States will be prohibited.

MEXICANS ARE WAITING FOR REINFORCEMENTS When They Arrive It Is Probable That a Decisive Battle With Yaquis Will Take Place. ST. LOUIS, March 23.—A special to the Globe Democrat from EI Paso, Texas, says: Filomeno Saurez, a prominent ranchman of Sonora, Mexico, is El Paso. He brought news of an engage- ment between the Indians and Mexican troops that occurred last Monday. The Indians have strong fortifications in the Bacatete Mountains and the Mexican troops are encamped a few miles distant in the valley. Last Monday at daybreak the Indians made a sortie. They drove in the Mexican outposts and threatened to attack in force, but after brisk firing that vldasted for two hours the Indians with- rew. During the progress of the engagement the Mexicans swept the Yaqui with their rapid-fire guns. The either side was insignificant. Saurez is the owner of the Las Nutras ranch, which is but forty miles from the Yaqui stronghold. He says that the Mex- icans have accomplished absolutely noth- ing and are making no effort to advance and that they will awalt the reinforce- ments recently asked for by General Tor- res. When the 4000 fresh troops arrive it is probable that a decisive battle will take place in the mountains. The reinforce- ments are expected within sixty days. ‘At present the Indians are making ralds into the valley almost every day. They drive off cattle and commit other depre- dations. The end of the war is a long way off unless troops are sent to Sonora to crush the rebels and more aggressive tactics are employed by General Torres. ———————————— When outfitting for Cape Nome don't forget that a fur blanket is an absolute necessity.

NE of the most important cap- tures of a crook to the credit of the Police Department was made yesterday afternoon by Detectives Ryan and O'Dea of the south- ern district, who were specially compli- mented by Chief Sullivan on their suc- cess. The prisoner is Robert Collins, alias J. C. Collins, alias W. Sweeney, alias Henry Whitting, alias W. Smith. He is only 24 or 2 years of age, and began his criminal career in 18l He has been ar- rested several times for petty larceny and burglary and now he is accused of being a bank sneak thief. Collins is a native son and his uncle is a section boss in the service of the Mar- ket-street Railroad Company. In 1861 he was arrested once for petty larceny and once for burglary, and was sent to the Whittier School. ~January 3, 1884, he was arrested for petty larceny and got thirty days in jail. A few weeks later he was arrested by Detective Ryan on three charges of burglzr)‘. influence the cl he was sent awa; He returned to the city and was arrested for stealing some money from the safe in the office of the City Front stables on | Clay street. Three years ago this month, while in.the dock in Judge Low’s court awaliting his preliminary examination, he tore away one of the wooden slats around the dock and squeezing himself through the hole made his escape. He Kkept away from the city, but returned about a month ago it is claimed started g&enmons by robbing saloon on ird street. Then he looked after larger game, and he and his partner are believed to have stolen $400 about two weeks ago from Ferdinand Smith, money broker, 316 Montgomery street. e and his partner are supposed to way to Seattle and stole between $3000 and $4000 from the First National Bank there last Monday. . Ryan and O’Dea learned of the fact that Collins had been in Seattle and had returned to the city with $2000 or in his_pockets. They notified Chief Eumv? and the Chief gave them carte blanche effecting_his capture. They engafid a room at Third and Howard streets Thurs- day afternoon and remained there till esterday afternoon, when Collins made is appearance. He fought desperately with the two detectives, and as he is a powerfully built young fellow they had all they could do to put the handcuffs on him. When they reached the patrol box at Third and Mission streets O ‘went to the box to call the patrol Wwazon and Collins attacked Ryan viclously with the handcuffs. Ryan managed to throw him down, and with O'Dea’s assistance held him pinned to the ground till the patrol wagon arrived. ‘When searched at the.City Prison $340 85, a ditamond rlng!.‘ {old watch and chain and diamond locket, a mb¥I ring and wed- ding ring were found in his pockets. A key was also found of a safe deposit box, and an effort will be made to locate it, as he is supposed to have left his money the Collins was put in the “tanks” and the ‘nollce in Seattle have been notified of his arrest. “T.ast night Colling was positively identi- fled as the man who some time ago en- tered McCulligan’s saloon at Tehama and Third streets and stole $20 from the cash drawer. Dan Toland, who was present, witnessed the act, but did not interfere, as he was afraid that Collins would kill him. Althou% Collins wore a mustache at that time, Toland picked him out among a dozen other men at the City Prison last evening. Collins has also been {dentified as the thief who stole a sack cmtuuln‘dm from Smith’s brokerage office at 321 Montgom- ery street several weeks ago. While leav- ing the place with the sack of coin Col- lins was seen by George Hodgkiss, a jani- tor in the Pacific Stock Exchange. Hodg- kiss visited the City Prison last evening and readily recognized the thief. Detectives Ryan and O'Dea have gath- ered enough evidence against Collins to land him in the penitentiary for the rest of his natural life. Prior to his escape CHAPPEL GETS THE LAND.

Rates From St. Louis to Los Angeles Are Lower, Although San Ber- nardino Is Nearer the Eastern City. PSS HEF Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, March 23.—The In- terstate Commerce Commission com: menced its session this morning to hear the case of A. W. Holdzkom on arbitrary rates diseriminating against local mer- chants in faver of Los Angeles jobbers. In this San Bernardino is assisted by St. Louis jobbers to secure a share of the trade from this tion. The members comprising the c t were J. C. Clements, J. D. Yeomans and J. W. Fifer, who opened court in Department 2 of the Su- perior Court. Attorney E. E. Katz ap- peared for the plaintiff. W. A. Harris of | Los Angeles appeared for Santa Ana to assist, and C. N. Sterry appeared for the Santa Fe road, the Southern Pacific being a silent witness of the proceedings. Sterry objected to the taking of testi- mony because the same question had been decided in 1389, when the commission in sesslon at Washington heard the case om San Bernardino and gave a decision in favor of the plaintiff, but was over- ruled by Judge Ross of the Los Angeles { branch of the United States Circuit Court. Sterry claimed tu.s was a similar case and it had been decided. Katz pointed out that rates were dierent and comdi- tions different than when the first com- plaint was brought. The rates are on a different basis and the town now is more entitied to be called a competitive point Ithnn at that time. He denied the state- ment of Sterry that water carriers only are competitive, claiming that two roads are competitive. The commission took the | same viewr of the matter and ordered the taking of testimony. The point claimed by San Bernardino merchants that through rates from the East are charged to Los Angeles and then arbitrary back again was proved by wit- nesses, even when carload lots were sent through and back, of wagons, hardwara and other goods. But for this San Bernar- dino would become a jobbing point for a large circle of territory. Ontario was In- stanced. It is miles from here but forty from Los Angeles, but the rate from the latter place is much less than from here. In this manner San Bernardino jobbers are discriminated against, aithough bet- ter located than Los Angeles for a distrib- uting point, being also on two competing | roads. A strong point was made for the shippers from here when Los Angeles | claimed to have sea competition, making | a lower rate necessary.

A few days later he entered the office of the Sau- salito rerfi' and sfole $170 and a bunch of tickets. e is also accused of breaking into a cigar store at East and Market streets and getting away with a small sum of money from the till. A short time afterward he entered the office of the Stockton steamers in broad | daylight and going to the safe, proceeded | to get away with the cash drawer. One! of the clerks detected him in the, act and grabbing the box, lustily shouted for the | police. Collins, after threatening to blow | his head off if he did not desist, coolly | helped himself to a ten-dollar bill and | left the place. Subsequently he robbed | the office of the Tiburon ferry of $20 and | a number of postage stamps. Collins is | also accused of visiting the commission ; house of J.
