Suggestion of Delegate Wil- cox Causes Politicians ‘Worry. ‘] HONOLULU, April 19.—The proposals which Delegate Wilcox brought back from Washington that the native Home Rule party become Republican arcused great political activity and is be- ng very much discussed in political cir- cles. It is stated that the plan was pro- posed to Wilcox by Senator Cullom, and | that the President showed interest in the | | conversion of the natives of Hawali to Republicanism. The result of the proposal and its in- dorsement by a majority of the native ! party leaders is that both the parties af- | fected are-moré or less split over it. The Republican party has for some time been divided into the elements known as mis- sioraryeend anti-missionary, and it is with “the latter, or anti-administration Republicans, that the Home Rulers may | combine locally. At present they hav taken action which they think unites them with the national Republican party, but not with the party organization in awail. The opposition of the former Queen to any plan looking to a reconcilia- | tion between the natives and the old Re- publican leaders, whom she regards as her enemies and who were annexation rs, is s o have had a powerful ect in causing the Home Rulers to care- fully turn Republican in such a way that Ley would not be committed to the sup- port of the present Republican organiza- tion in Hawail.

Edward Gallagher, allas Yarrow, the youthful burglar who broke into the resi- dence of Mrs. Simon Donau at 1452 Franklin street and stole several hun- dred dollars’ worth of jewelry, was posi- | tively-identified in the City Prison yester- day by little Adele Steinman, who was in the house at the time, and whom the burglar threatened to kill if she made an | outery. | “Gallagher and four other prisoners iwere taken from their cells and made to stand in a line.

As the child was positive that Gallagher was | the right man a charge of burglary was recorded against him. | Detectives Wren and Dinan are | satisfied that Gallagher is the burglar who_entered the residence of Dr. Bowes at 2629 Pacific avenue Sunday night and at the point of a pistol commanded the servant girl to show him where her mis- | tress kept her jewelry and valuables.

As indicating the interest which Mayor Clark’s interview in The Call has awak- ened, F. A. Daroux, B. W. Cavanaugh and M. F. Rowland issued a written state- ment to-night addressed to the editor of The Call, in which they assert that t never, at any time or place, intimat: or stated to George H. Clark that J. B. ‘Wright was ever in any manner interested with them or any of them in the pool- room business, and branding the state- ment made by Mayor Clark in The Call as unqualifiedly false. B. W. Cavanaugh was a witness in the oil land case this afternoon. He testified that Clark had told him that he had had a row with Colonel Wright and J. L. Gil- lis and was glad to get out of the com- pany. The witness was asked if Clark was in earnest at the'time, and replied that Mayor Clark “joshed a good deal and passed considerable hot air.”” Pressed by counsel to define what he meant by ‘“hot air,’ Cavanaugh said it was “a sort of fluid that comes from a man's body when he thinks he is going to be elected and then forgets all abovt it afterward.” GERMAN MUSIC WILL BE 3UNG Season of Grand Opera in November Is Now Assured The grand opera season this year is as+ sured. Maurice Grau and Walter Morosco yesterday closed the bargain to that end by correspondence. Music-lovers who enjoyed the rare privileges of the last grand opera season and dressmakers, hackmen and proprie- tors of cafes who reaped generous har- vests of coin during that season will re- cetye the news with the utmost satisfac- on. The opening night will be November 11 and the last production will be given Sat- urday evening, November 30. It is known that Grau was highly satisfied with the business done last year and he naturally is willing to take another chance. A well-known theatrical man said yes- terday in speaking of the coming opera season that Grau would this year bring a strong German cast. Last season it was demonstrated on many occasions that San Francisco audiences "prefer German to Ifallan opera. ATTORNEYS FOR SUTRO HEIRS ENJOY A LAUGH Ridicule the Story that Mrs. Kluge Has Been Promised the Cliff House. The story published in a morning paper yesterday that Mrs. Clara “Kluge-Sutro” had secured recognition of her claims to a portion of the estate of the late Adolph Sutro and that the representatives of the estate were about to turn over the CIiff House or $150,000 to her in settlement was ridiculed yesterday by the attorneys for the heirs and executors, The latter claim that no such offer has been made and dubbed the sensational story a fairy tale. Attorney Campbell, who represents Mr. Adamson, one of the executors, stated that all sorts of propositions have been made by Mrs. uge’s attorneys, but that nothing definite had been . agreed upon. Mr. McKinstry and Reuben H. Lloyd, attorneys for Dr. Emma L. Mer- ritt, were surprised to learn that the mat- ter in which they were vitally interestcd had been settled without their knowing it. Both attorneys stated that no compro- mise had been effected. Dr. Merritt is now in Arcadia. Her brother, Edward Sutro, who is in thiscity, upon seeing the sensational story, ex- pressed great surprise. He said if any- thing had been done he would have cer- tainly known of it. On February 14 of this year The Call ublished the statement that Mrs. Kluge ad been recognized by the Sutro heirs. On the preceding day two heavy mort- gages on property in the Point Lohos dis- trict were filed in the Recorder’s office and the signature of Mrs. Clara “Kluge- Sutro’ was affixed to one of the docu- ments. The attorneys in the case admit that negotiations have been pending with a view to a compromise, but say none has been reached. —— Lectures to Help Pay Debt.

The committee appointed for that pur- pose has.devised a plan to insure unity of action on the part of the fuel oil pro- ducing companies of the State. This plan will be submitted to the companies within a day or two. The committee, consisting of five oil men, was named by a general committee that was appointed at the gen- eral con!er‘;nce held recently in the maple room of the Palace Hotel. Since their appointment the members of the com- mittee have met several times and have studied the problems before them atten- tively. They have decided that the gen- eral plan shall, if sanctioned by the pro- ducing oil companies, include the forma- tion of a central company_capitalized at $500,000, in 5000 shares at $100 per share. Each producing company shall on the payment of $1000 for ten shares of stock be a member of the central company. Twenty-six hundred shares of stock will be retained in the treasury, in escrow, and deposited with a trust company by trustees. There will be a board of direc- tors, who will be elected by the produ¢- ing companies, voting in proportion to their respective production of oil. Each company will hold its original ten shares of, stock through the first year. That will mean an issue to the companies of something like 700 shares, it is antici- pated, for it is estimated that between seventy-five and eighty companies will come into the association at the start. Eleven directors will be elected, who will serve for one year. At the end of the year the stock will be reapportioned ac- cording _to production. An executive board of three is also provided for in the plan, who will be salaried men and who will be intrusted with the very impor- tant duty of fixing the market price and apportioning the production among the several companies. The producing cém- panies will enter into a contract with the céntral company to deliver to it all the oil they produce above that already con- tracted for. the period being for five years. The central company is to sell the oil and apportion the sales among the companies. The basis of apportionment will be changed every three months, ac- gording to the respective amounts of busi- ness of the several companies. Under the plan thus outlined it is ex- pected that production will be controlled and that there will be a reasonable price obtained for oil which will afford a fair margin of profit to the producers, and will set aside the bad practices of brokers who have been pitting one company against another in the market for the purpose of knocking down the price, Taylor Gra.nai Divorce.

A Judge Hunt's Decision Will Reopen Fight for : Millions. By a decislon of. Superior Judge Hunt yesterday overruling the demurrer of Florence Blythe Hinckley Moore to the complaint of Hiram A. Unruh, who sued for title to all the property situated®in this State belonging to the defendant, the litigation over the millions. left by Thomas Blythe has been reopened, and the famous case will probably have to again run the gamut of the courts. Unruh is the agent and manager of E. J. Baldwin's Santa Anita ranch, and bases his suit on an assignment of interests from Alice Edith Dickason Blythe to Baldwin, who in turn transferred to Un- ruh all rights, title and interest in certain deeds thus obtained. Several months ago. Unruh filed a suit attacking the title to all the property for- merly owned by Blythe, some of which is On Mrs. Moore's demurrer Judge Hunt held that the courts of this State lacked jurisdiction over all property located out- gide of California, and tnerefore sustained the demurrer of the defendant. Unruh Wwas granted leave to file an amended com- plaint, the demurrer to which was over- ruled yesterday, which action practically reopens the question of title to the gore block and to property at San Diego, de- clared by the highest State and Federal courts to be vested in Florence Blythe Hinckley Moore. Attorneys Not in Court. None of the attorneys retained on efther side were in court yesterday when Judge Hunt announced his decision overruling | the defendant’'s demurrer to the amended | complaint. W. F. Baggett of counsel for Unruh talked freely of his client’s claim to.title Alice Edith Dickason Blythe. “It is an ordinary suit to acquire title by Unruh as successor in interest of Alice Edith Dick- dason Blythe,” said Mr. Baggett. ‘“Unruh holds deeds representing her claims to in- terest in the whole of Thomas Blythe's estate, assigned to him by E. J. Baldwin, who originally obtained them from Mrs. Blythe. We maintain the claim that Alice Edith Dickason Blythe is the lawfyl wid- ow of Thomas Blythe and that Florence Blythe Hinckley Moore is not his daugh- ter. ““The whole case will ultimately hinge on the interpretation of Judge Coffey’s orlg- inal decision in the Probate Court, award- ing title to Mrs. Blythe Moore as the sole heir to Thomas Biyths. The main con- tention that will be set up by Unruh is that the proceedings in the Probate Court, a tribunal of limited jurisdiction, do not estop him_ from asserting the rights as- signed to him Ly the widow. “‘Unless Mrs. Blythe Moore can success- tully plead the decision rendered by the Probate Court, which she will undoubt- edly set up in defense as a bar to the pending suit, the complaint will be all threshed out ~gain and carried to the court of last resort.” General Hart’s Statement. Former Attorney General Willlam H. H. Hart of .counsel for Florence Biythe Hinckley Moore was most emphatic in his construction of the suit instituted by Un- ruh. “The complaint now filed,” said Mr. Hart, “‘alleges that Unruh is the owner of title to_all the property involved situate in the State of California. On February 2, 1901, the Supreme Court of the United States held that Judge Coffey's decision in favor of Mrs. Moore finally settled her title to the estate of Thomas Blythe as agalnst the whole world, and that the case could not be reopened. “There are now outstanding three judg- ments against Alice Edith Dickason Blythe in favor of Mrs. Moore, and Un- ruh claims title. from Mrs. Dickason Blythe, obtained after the rendition of those judgments. He has no_ earthly chance ‘of obtaining interest in the prop- erty situated in California or that located in other States by virtue of this suit. “Of course Mrs. Moore will set up these judgments in her favor, and deny the plaintiff’s title. It will be impossible for the plaintiff to prove his case as he has stated it or otherwise, and hence it must fail.” @ ik @ RUSSIAN TROOPS " NOT GUILTY OF BRUTAL CONDUCT . e e C. D.

Run- ARMY MYSTERY FINALLY SOLVED Sporty but Needy Offi- cers Cause of Sen- sation. Tales of Mysterious Arrests and Terrible Crimes Set at Rest. —_—— The mysterious arrest and quick trans- fer to Alcatraz Island of two volunteer army officers has been under discussion in army circles since the mustering out of the regiment to which the two men were supposed to be attached. While many ru- mors were afloat, the cause for the arrest and the manner in which it was made re- mained a mystery. It is a mystery no longer, and now those who spent many days and nights conjur- ing up all sorts of crimes as those cyr d against the unfortunate officers have dis- covered that the time spent on Alcatraz Island by the supposed terrible offenders 'was but two hours, and the offense which caused their arrest was the hypothecat- mf of a pay voucher for one month's salary. alary. The officers in question were Lieuten- ants Vernon and Heyman of the Twenty- seventh Infantry, and their arrest was due to an over-zealous commanding offi- cer. The lieutenants had just returned from Manila and were possessed with a burning desire to view the gay sights of this city. To do this properly required some cash, and the young officers had none. They remedied the difficuity by go- ing to a warrant shaver and turning over to him a voucher for a month's salary for a sufficient number of dollars to enable them to see the sights. The matter was brought to the atten- tion of the military officials, and as it is a serlous offense they were ordered un- der arrest. Their mysterious spiriting away followed, and then came the rum- ors.” The two young men were given a chance to explain and their release fol- lowed quickly. Their explanation showed that their terribld crime was due to an ignorance of the laws governing the man- ner in which an army officer can draw his salary. Examinations for Deputies.
