OMAHA, Nebr., April 20.—Another dem- onstration has been made at Gretna, Nebr., by the Figsites, the religious zeal- ots, whose leaders were tarred and feath- ered by a mob of fzrmers several months ago. . Followihg the violence the colony fled to an island in the Missouri Riverioft Bellevue and has since been campara- tively quiescent. The Methodist confer- ence now being held in Gretna, however, led a number of the faith to revisit their home town. Shortly after the conference was called to order Mrs. W. B. Browning, an ardent follower of the Figgs, took the center of the stage and urged Rev. I. Kemp, the resident pastor, to repent of his sins while there was vet time. As for her husband, Mrs. Browning declared that, he had transgressed beyond hope of redemp- tion and was too old to repent. She also indulged in lamentations for her neigh- bors, until Dr. Jennings, the venerable presiding elder of the Omaha conference, led her from the room. In an apparent abandon of happiness and zeal, Mrs. Browning untied her horse and rode from the town singing Figgite hymns at the top of her voice. She was accompanied by several less ardent followers of the Figgs. Mr. Browning will at once bring pro- ceedings against his wife before the Board of Insanity Cdmmissioners, She served - a term in jail four years ago for disturbing a meeting at Spring Cove, Nebr. AMERICANS PURCHASE ENGLISH STEAMER LINE Consolidation of the Largest Trans- Atlantic Shipping Interests Is Contemplated. LONDON, April 20.—The first step in the direction of the consolidation of some of the biggest trans-Atlantic shipping inter- ests has been accomplished by the pur- chase by J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. of the ‘Leyland Line of steamers. A deposit on the purchase price has been paid. The of- fielals of the Leyland Line, in confirming the sale, told a representatiye of the As- sociated Press that an officlal statement will be issued from the head office of the line at Liverpool to-morrow. It is un- derstood that the shareholders of the com- pany will receive £14 10s for each £10 share. The Leyland Line, whose fleet will thus pass into the control of Americans, is one of Great Britain’s great- est shipping institutions, far exceeding the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Naviga. tion Company in tonnage and importance. —_——— CLARK FORCES WILL RESPECT INJUNCTION Railway Graders Ordered Not to In- terfers With the Oregon Short Line. L0OS ANGELES, April 2.—The legal de- partment of the S8an Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad was advised to- day of the injunction secured by the Ore- gon Short Line, restraining the Clark forces from interfeflr'? with the Short Line on the disputed Uvada grades. Or- ders were immediately issued difecting the Clark forces to respect the court and fall back. The granting of the injunction has cauted considerable criticism, as it is stated the Clark people endeavored re- cently to obtain a similar injunction and were denied it. The advices recelved here state that the Short Line was obliged to L0SES GONTEST FOR A FORTUNE Judge Burnett Decides Against Mrs. Cora Wickersham. SANTA ROSA, April 20.—In a lengthy and’ exhaustive opinion filed here to-day aud read in open. court shortly before ncen, Judge Albert G. Burnett decided that Cora L. Wickersham of Fresno and her son, I. G. Wickersham Jr., ‘had no standing in court in the famous contest recently instigated against the estate of C. and I. G. Wickersham, .de- and that the agreement entered into by Frank A. Wickersham, whereby he sold his entire right, title-and interest in the big estate for $28,000, must stand. The decision reviews the case at length. The court finds that while the.worrles of lifc had undoubtedly had its effect upon the mentality of Frank P, Wickersham, it had not been shown that it had ren dered him incompetent.

Mr. Sutro has been practicing law in San Francisco for some years. During the last campaign he made his first ap- pearance as a candidate and by a vigor- ous campaign he beat Henry C. Dibble, one of the strongest candidates for the Assembly from any of the city districts. His record in the Legislature was clean and creditable, and he returned to his dis- trict with every prospect of being offered further honors, In the new firm he will be associated * with E. S. Pilisbury. It has for some time been the purpose of Mr. Pillsbury to establish a branch of his business in Ma- nila, and when Mr. Sutro was offered and had accepted the position of resident part- ner there, the firm was formed at once. Mr. Pillsbury represents clients who are seeking investment wherever possible, and it is more than probable that Mr. Sutro will soon be cntrusted with the large business interests which the firm will care fcr. If the climate will permit him, Mr. Sutro will remain in the Philippines . for six ears at least. He hopes in that time to able to establish the firm on g solid footing and to have earned a rest. + O TO SEEK !

Administers a Scathing Re- buke to the Would-Be Murderess. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, April 20.-Mrs. Stella Lynch, who, on the 19th of last January, fired two shots at her divorced husband. James R. Lynch, was senterced to-day to two years in San Quentin, This is the full limit of the law for the offense of which she was convicted—assaalt with a deadly weapon. In proncuncing sentence, Judge Conklin severely rebuked Mrs. Lynch, saying that either she was possessed of a cruel and wicked disposition or her mind was that of a degenerate, uncontrolled by moral principle of any kind. Mrs. Lynch took the excoriation coolly, manifested no emo- tion and walked back to the jail seeming- ly less concerned than. the jailers who accompanied her. “The crime with which you are charged,” sald Judge Conklin, “is most heinous and in attempting to carry it out you showed a cool and deliberate. pur- pose. For all your future life, on bended knee, you should thank God that you were not required to stand before this bar an accused murderess, with the blood of a man upon your hands, who accord- ing. to your own letters was deserving of the most tender affection from you. “It is with great reluctance that the court pronounces judgment upon you, not only from the fact that you are a woman, but that you are the mother of a child upon whose head the effect of your crime and imprisonment will rest heavily through all his life. With a knowledge of these facts, it is only a sense of duty, therefore—a duty that all courts owe to society, a duty that the law enjoins—that impels me to inflict upen you the severe penalty of the law. With the opportun- ity for meditating upon the waywardness of your past life that you will have, may you come forth again to liberty with a determination that by future conduct you will endeavor to atome for the past.” i i worth. easy and profitable to you. a low price.
