With that stock in trade Wil- son_went to Alameda, where he negoti- | ated the purchase of a $4500 house from | the Alameda Land Company, presenting | a $1500 check in part payment. At A.| Kist's store Davidson bought a big bill | of goods, furnishings for the new res: dence. He paid the furniture man the 350 | certificate on account.

The Land Company people decided to make some inquiry before closing the transaction an. wired to Bisbee. The re- ly came that their customer was un- nown. Then they called in the police. Edson was prompt with an identifica- tion. Davidson's record, as uncovered since his arrest, shows that he spent a year and a balf behind the walls of San Quentin Penitentiary because he was too careless in handling forged checks. $TAY HAS NOT PROTESTED AGAINST CANADA’S ACTION WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—The records of the State Department contain nothing to confirm the statement emanating from Toronto to the effect that Secretary Hay has protested against the dispatch of Charles Langelier from Canada to Lon- don and St. Petersburg in the prosecution of the Canadian search for evidence to sustain its contention relative to the con- tested boundary line between Canada and Alaska.

Page to Re- cover Stock in Smelting Company. — e A suit fn equity will be filed to-day im the Superior Court by Attorneys Dorn & Dorn and Theodore J. Savage, In which sensatlonal averments are made by Allen R. Partridge, the plaintiff against Frank W. Page. president and general manager of the Vulcan Smelting and Iron Works, The action e the assignment of patents by Partridge to Page. Through- out the complaint run allegations of fraud and undue Influence, the latter amount- ing to the complete subjection of the will of Partridge to that of the defendant and others. In the complaint some of the allegations which have been given currency during the past week are recapitulated and oth- ers are added. It is set up by Partridge that he came to San Francisco from Mex- ico a year ago, and hers became acquaint- ed with Frank W. Page, who professed friendship for him and promised to pro- tect him and cxploit patents of which Partridge was the owner. Next it is al- leged that Page invited Partridge to his home, where the acquaintance of Mrs. Lilllan Page, wife of Frank W. Page, was made. Page, it laimed, represénted that he had mo to Invest, and that he had the acquaintance of rich men whom he could influence to put their money into the promotion of the Part- ridge patents. Partridge was domictled in the Page home for the night and there- after was persuaded to remain there per- manently. Finally, so says the complaint in substance, Partridge was willing to do anything that Mr. and Mrs. Page wished him to do. Hypnotism is not alleged, but strong influence over the mind of Part- ridge on the part of both Mr. and Mrs. Page is. The stztement is made that both Mr. and Mrs. Page have clalmed to be hypnotists. It is also alleged that no one was al- lowed to talk to Partridge except in the resence of Mr. and Mrs. Page, and final- y Partridge became afraid of them and did their will. Then, according to the al- legations, Page suggcsted the formation of a corporation under the name of the Vulcan Smelting and Iron Works. Frank W. Page became president and general manager; George W. Baker, vice presi- dent, Mrs. Lilllan Page director, L. Baker secretary and treasurer. Partridge was frozen out, except as a director. Partridge was persuaded to assign one- half interest in the patents to Page. He R. | was to retain one-half interest in the pat. Pr‘;}s. his share to be clear and non-assess- able; All the directors and officers In the cor- poration were elected through the influ- ence of Page, <o the allegations run, with the exception of Baker, who was acting as attorney for both Partridge and Page. Partridge “deeded half of the patent to Page without consideration. Partridge was given 3003 shares of stock in the cor- poration, but was induced to give it all back, placing it in a pool. Partridge was never allowed to see his friends, so It is set up. He was taken to Mexico and there he was led to contract debts and was left In a lonely spot. Under the laws of Mexico he could be imprisoned for ebt. It is also alleged that Partridge has been refused a settlement. From all this the charge is made of fraud, misrepresen- tation and undue influence. The story of the making of Partridge’s will is also re- peated as told in The Call. Partridge in that document, which was drawn by Ba- ker, bequeathed two-thirds of his proper- ty fo Mrs. Page and one-third to George Baker, the will also naming George W. Bak 3 executor. Other proceedings are to fo ,w the sult to be filed to-day. HOTEL ARRIVALS. GRAND HOTEL.
