Partridge is the complainant in a suit filed yesterday in the Superior Court against Frank W. Page, George W. Baker, Harry L. Baker, Lillian B. Page, ihe Vulcan Smelting and Refining Com- pany and a number of other defendants, demanding an accounting of the affairs of the Vulcan Smelting and - Refining Company. Aside from the formal allegatious of the complainant, there is told by young Partridge himself a peculiar tale of al- leged hypnotic influence, under which he declares he was Induced to part with all his present and prospective holdings, the former consisting of his interest in the company named and the latter of his rightful share of the estate of his father, Joseph Partridge, a wealthy gnine owner in Mexico, at present residing in Lon- don. The father's property is valued at several million dollars. Young Partridge came to this coast about two years ago with a patented de- vice for smelting ores. He cast about for capital and met Page and wife and the Bakers, father and son. The company was Incorporated with a capital of $2,000,- 000, about August 23, 190. Partridge, Frank W. Page, George W. Baker, Harry L. Baker and Lilllan B. Page, wife of Frank W. Page, being the directors first selected. Each of the incorporators sub- scribed for three shares, the balance of the stock being held by Partridge. While the company was in process of formation, Partridge became an inmate of the Page household. Along about the first of June, 1900, Partridge claims that he was induced to make a will in favor of Page and his wife, in_which she, as devisee, was to be entitled to two-thirds of his estate, present and prospective, and her husband the remainder. George W. Baker, who drew up the will, was named as executor, and then Partridge began to part with his money. Mrs. Page, according to Partridge's state- ments, apparently exercised a subtle in- fluence over him. Among the first acts of the new cor- oration was that of engaging offices at 06 Pine street. These were fitted up in an elaborate manner at an expense, ac- cording to the bills, of $1700, while Part- ridge and his attorneys, Theodore J. Sav- age of this eity and James W. Cochrane of San Rafael, allege that less than half that amount would have covered the original cost. Following this opening expense came a large number of transactions which form the basis of the filled complaint. Partridge was to be entitled to 125000 shares of the capital stock, but only 2003 Were issued to him. He, while awaiting the transfer of the stock, transferred and assigned to the mrlpnmllnn all his rights e patent smelter. I e Pe Celection. of Frank W. Page as president, George W. Baker, vice presi- dent, and Harry L. Baker, secretary and treasurer, the organization was complete. Partridge and Mrs. Page formed the rest of the directorate. SCIENTISTS GOING T0 EAST INDIES Professors En Route fo Sumatra to View Eclipse of the Sun. ‘A party of sclentists arrived in this city yesterday. They are on thelr way to the island of Sumatra in the East Indies for the purpose of making photographic stud- fes of the eclipse of the sun on May 17 and 18. The party is composed of Professors A. N. Skinner and W. W. Dinwiddie of the United States Naval Observatory; Charles Greeley Abbot and Paul A. Draper of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C.; Professor E. E. Barnard, formerly of the Lick Observatory, and Dr. 8. A. Drap- er. The party will be reinforced to-day by Dr. W. J. Humphreys and H. C. Curtis of the University of Virginia, Professor W. 8. Eicelberger, F. B. Litell and L. E. Jewell from the Naval Observatory: George Pet- ers and Dr. N. E. Gilbert, the latter from the Johns Hopkins University of Balti- more. The entire party will leave this city on the transport Sheridan for Manila; from there they will be furnished transporta- tion to the island of Sumatra on a crulser of the United States nav The sclentists are well supplied with cameras specially made, and there is no doubt that they will meet with great success. The total eclipse will be invisible in America, but will be seen in Eastern Africa, Southe'n India, Siam. Southern China, the East Indlan archipelago, the Philippines and Australla. The path-of the total eclipse passes over the Indian Ocean, across Su- matra, the southern part of Borneo and the southern portion of New Guinea. The expense of the expedition will by borne by the United States Government, the Johns_Hopkins University of Ball more and W. H. Crocker of this city, The only California scientist of the party will be Professor C. D. Perrine of the Univer- sity of California. Yesterday ghe members of the party were busy scouing the city, buying the last few articleg’necessary to complete their outfit, among these being small portable houses, which they will on the island during their = short erect stay.

Hall, the discharged soldier, who was accused by John Murphy, a comrade, of having robbed him of $197 in their room at the Cosmopolitan Hotel Thursday morning, left for his home in Boston Sat- urday evening, his father having tele- graphed him money for his fare. Fred Brinclss, another soldier, who occupled the room with Murphy and Hall, says, as does Michael J. Connolly, chief clerk of the hotel, that Murphy had no such sum of money, and that he was not robbed by Fall or any one else. Hall went East without knowing of the charge against him, they say. One of the first acts of the company was to purchase a ramshackle structure at Melrose, Alameda County. The pur- chase price of the land and appurten- ances appears, it is said, on the books of the company at $20,000, but it is declared not to be worth $2000. The by-laws of the corporation fix no time for the meetings of the directors, and Partridge claims that the time of holding the meetings was withheld from him, by reason of the majority comprised of the Pages and Bakers refusing to noti- fy him. During these meetings it is leged that those associated with Par- tridge procured the issuance of the bal- ance of the stock, President Page secur- ing one block of 93,362 shares; After making his will in favor of Mr. and Mrs. Page, Partridge parted with about $6000, he alleges, and would have parted with more money had it not been for the intervention of W. R. Ramsdell, a mining man, residing at the Palace Hotel. Ramsdell heard the story of young Partridge's will, communicated with his father and is now prepared to back him in a legal fight which will probably re- sult in the arrest of both Page and his wife and George W. Baker and his son, on charges of conspiracy and nttempted kidnaping, possibly rivaling in interest the celebrated Campbell-Winthrop case, for which the latter is doing a life sen- tence. Besides alleging the improper conver- sions of, stocks and the purchase at fict!- tious prices of furnfture and property, the complaint sets forth that the Pages and Bakers are about to sell the remaining shares of stock and divert, misapply and misappropriate the proceeds therefrom. A restraining order is asked for the pur- pose of preventing these acts It is algo asked that the Pages and Bakers be re- moved from the directorate of the com- pan: It ‘was while Partridge was a resident of the Page household at 80 Central avenue, near Halght street, that he parted with his_ money and made his will “How I came to do it T do not know/” he said last night. “A day or two after it was made Page came to me and asked me to throw Baker out as executor. How he came to know that I had made such a will I am at a loss to understand. Page seemed mad about the matter and then followed a series of petty persecutions. On Saturday night Page was looking for me at the Grand Hotel. He flourished a pistol and threatened to kill me on sight. “Jerry Hurd took the pistol away from him and told me of the incident. On Sun- day morning, while I was breakfasting at the Palace Hotel with Mr. Ramesdell, Page, who 15 a large man, came In and threatened to do me all kinds of bodily injurfes. He went out quicker than he came in. Since then my footsteps have been constantly dogged.” As a further source of trouble, Partridge, in an endeavor to recover the money from which be parted, has levied an attach- ment on the residence and personal grop- erty of Frank W. Page and Deputy Sher- iffs last night guarded the premises. Bt ) DENY STATEMENTS OF MRS, SMITH | By Affidavit Foshay Walker | and Judge Daingerfield Refute Her Word. When Mrs. Josephine Smith filed her | petition for another round or two in the | divorce with her former husband, Charles | | H. Smith, cashier of the Southern Pacific Company, she lald special stress upon the allegations that she was ill and that her confidence in opposing Counsel Foshay Walker had been misplaced. As Charles H. Smith is not anxious to undergo aga'n the ordeal he suffered with his wife as cross-examiner he has filed affidavits op- | posing that of his wife, bearing the signa- tures of his attorney, Mr. Walker and former Judge Willlam R. Daingerfield, be- fore whom Mrs. Smith made her debut as Portia in propria persona. As to the allegations that Mrs. Smith was {ll and unable to attend court on the day her husband was granted a decree on the ground of extreme cruelty, Judge Daingerfield says: I did not observe anything in the manmer, deportment or appearance of Mrs. Smith at any of the times she was in court tending to show that she was not well, or that she was 1ll or in any way suffering physically. 1 am certain if there had been any such indications 1 would have observed them, for I gave her Close attention at all times. This statement, made by Judge Dainger- field under oath, takes much of the dram- atle interest from Mrs. Smith's averment that {ll and hardly able to walk she dragged herself through the rain on the night preceding her husband's victory in | search of justice. Foshay Walker denies that he ever told Mrs. Smith that he would secure a con- tinuance of the case until she recovered her health, as she alleges, and resents | Mrs. Smith's imputation that he would | | betray his client into complications in | the divorce proceeding. Continuing = in his affidavit Walker throws a little more light on the broad- ness of Mrs. Smith’s knowledge of law. He says that she seemed to hold him re- | sponsible for her own erroneous conduct 0. her defense, as well as for the alleged sins on the part of her husbamd. He says the deportment of Mrs. Smith during the whole trial was, so far as he is capable of forming an opinion, defiant and exultant, particularly during her crogs-examination of her former husband and during the reading by her of a large number of let- ters containing the most abusive remar’s concerning Mr. Smith. In concluding, e says that the defendant seemed to derive much satisfaction from the humiliating position in which her former husband nec- essarily found himself while being cross- xamined by his then wife for a period of two days by a serles of questions imput- ing almost every kind of dishonorable and odious quality to him. Judge Murasky will pass upon the mer- its of Mrs. Smith’s motion for a new trial next Friday. Falls and Fractures His Skull. Alexander Wolf of 1233 Buchanan street was brought to the Receiving Hospital from Fourth and Market streets last night by Officer McCormick, and treated for a slight laceration of the scalp, and then discharged. A few hours later he was brought in again by Officer Dougherty, who found him at the corner of Geary and Buchanan streets, The sec- ond treatment was for a fractured skull, due to a fall while suffering from an epi- leptic fit. He has small chance of re- covery.
