The Colusa, whose dismantled hulk has just been discovered, was well known in San Francisco trade, having been owned In 1889 she was considered one of the most efficient At that time she was under the command of Captain Backus, who was one cf the principal losers when she was abandoned in Alaskan waters. A. H. Paul also was a heavy loser. The Colusa sailed from this port on Sep- tember 6, 1899, for the Hawaiian Islands. During a storm she went ashore and was got off with considerable difficulty. She s taken to Kahului, where an exam- ination showed that her forefoot and part It was decided to send her to the Sound for repairs, and accordingly, on September 21, she set sail | in ballast for Esquimalt on what was to prove her last voyage.

FIGHTING OVER QUARRY RENTAL Case Against Bullockand Poniatowski Opens in Redwood. Plaintiffs Center Their Attack Upon Intervenor Wil- liam Grant. Special Dispatch to The Call. REDWOOD CITY, May 13.—The trial of the action in which Messrs. Jarboe, Crooks, Hearfield and Bannister are plain- tiffs, Poniatowski and Bullock defend- ants, and William Grant intervenor, was commenced in the Superior Court at this place to-day. The litigation is over the rent due from defendants for a marble quarry in Tuolumne county for the year 1899. The defendants admit the indebted- ness, but do not know to whom to pay the money, as a claim has been put in by the intervenor, Grant, who lhas serve them with notice that he, as a membe of the Columbia Marble Company is in- terested in $2500 of the amount lue, ihis being one-half of the entire sum. The case promises to be bitterly fought between Grant and the plaintiffs. When court opened this morning, Attor- ney Countryman movpd to dismiss the complaint of Grant, upbn several grounds, the principal one relied upon osing the refusal of Grant to attend before a notary ublic and have his deposition taken. When served with the notary's subpena, Grant declared that he had already made arrangement to be away on the day set for the examination, which was a Mon- day, but that he would go bvefore ihe notary on the Saturday preceding the day fixed ‘and would waive the legal notice. This was not agreed to, and when Moz day arrived Grant was in Stockton. Upon the showing made, Judge Buck denied the motion to dismiss. was called to the stand and had not finish- ed his testimony when the court adjourn- ed. Considerable time was occupied in introducing documentary evidence in con- nection with the testimony of the wit- ness. Hearfield said that on September 19. 1898, he, Grant and Bannister leased the marble quarry to Pri Poniatowski and T. S. Bullock; that for the first vear the rent was to be $4000, which was paid at the time the lease was made: that the rent for the second year was to be $:040. which had not been pald. Evidence was offered to show that in January, 1899, Grant sold his interest in the property to Jarboe and Crooks for $50,000. The lease referred to was executed by the Columbia Marble Company, through the three members, Hearfield, Grant and Bannister. Hearfield swore that it was executed by these three, and that the words, ‘“Columbia Marble Compan; were inserted after the execution of paper, and without his knowledge. Grant claims an interest in the rent on the ground that the lease was made by the partnership, whose affairs were never settled. This Hearfield denied, and swore that on January 6, 1899, the partnership business was settled, Grant at that time aning $2523.06 as the amount aue from im upon the settlement. The case will g0 on to-morrow, and it 18 expected that testimony of a highly sen- sational nature will be submitted. @i e oo el @ SURGEONS LOOT HOF LUNG Strange Operation Saves Santa Ana Man’s Life. e Half of His Breathing Apparatus. e Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SANTA ANA. May 13.—Perry Taylor of Santa Ana has the unique distinction of being one of seven men, so it is said, who in the history of medical practice has lived after undergoing an operation for the removal of zn entire lung. Taylor is 26 yeurs old. About four years ago he came to the conclusion that he had consumption and consuited a local doc- tor, who treated him in the regular way for a time for tuberculosis of the lungs. Later the physician hecame convinced that Taylor's lung was affected with hy- dated cysts, and changed the treatment accordingly. An operation for the removal of the cysts was then performed on Taylor, and Do less than 24) of them, ranging In size from a small pea to that of a hen's egg, were taken our through an aperture in the patient’s side. But more of them grew, and altnough the operation of re- moving them was from time to time re- peated, it was at length decided to at- tempt a more heroic course of treatment and remove the affected lung in its en- tirety. e The operation was successful so far as removing the Inng and the cysts was con- cerned, but a yawning void was left in the man’s anato Taylor is getting used to doing with only cne lung, ané has devised a novel method of cleansing the pleurai cavity while the process of healing is go- ing on. His apparatus is a rubber tube with a six or seven-inch long curved sil- ver nozzle, attached to an ordinary four- quart water bag. Just above Taylor's waist on the right side is a vulcanized rubber tube, which marks the center of a large scar. Through this tube he inserts the silver nozzle and then turns on the water, which contains a disinfectant, After turning the nozzle around several times so as to thoroughly irrigate his in- ternal economy it is withdrawn. Then Tayior gathers himself up like a bucking bronco, coughs, and there issues from his side a column of water like:'a minlature geyser, which ceases at Intervals only when by a twist of Taylor's body the stream is shut off from his side and finds vent through his mouth with equal force. Taylor's general health is about normai or as it was for a long time before he ever dreamed of parting with a lung, and he feels confident that when his pleural cavity is entirely healed he will be as nearly all right as a one-lunger may ex- pect 1o be.

Inquest Over His Wife’s Body Results in an Open Verdict. A Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, May 13.—A complaint charging J. Ross Winters with murder, on Saturday morning, of his young wife Grace was sworn to to-day by Detective ‘Walter H. Auble in City Justice Morgan's court. Winters' arraignment probably will take place to-morrow. The Coroner’s jury which investigated the cause of Mrs. Winters’ death to-day returned an open verdict. The inquisition at best was a perfunctory investigation and frcm the testimony adduced the ver- dict could not well have been different from what it was. It simply found that the deceased met her death by a gunshot wound, Dr. Jenkins, one of the surgeons who performed the autopsy upon the body, testified that Mrs. Winters could not pos- sibly have inflicted upon herself the gap- ing wound which killed her instantaneous- ly. The testimony of E. W. Schmidt, gen- eral agent of the Fidelity Mutual Aid As- sociation of San ncisco, was rather fa- vorable to the prisoner, as it went to show that the policy taken out in his company by-Mrs. Winters recently was merely to insure her in case of accldent, a2nd not of death. As she had become de- linquent in her dues, she was even de- barred from the benefits allowed under such a policy. ADMIRAL SCHLEY'S VISIT IS SHORTENED Hurries Home From London Because of Serious Illness of His Son.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC SHOWS DEEDS TO POMONA STREET Trial of the Action Brought by the Railroad for Possession of a Disputed Thorough- fare Opens in a Los Angeles Court BSpecial Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, May 13.—The trial of the suit of the Southern Pacific Company against the city of Pomona to determine the right of possession of certain streets in that city began before Judge York in the Superior Court this morning. The issus which is the foundation of the action ‘was made when on April 13 the Southern Pacific Company began the construction of a side-track upon. property to which it claimed title. This property was then and had been for years used as a public street and the residents and civic authorities by force resisted what was considered to be an encroachment by the railroad. In order to settle the property rights in question the entire matter was referred to the courts. Although not a party in the action the new Salt Lake road is one of the real parties in Interest. It had applied to the city of Pomona for a right of way through the city, and the street in question had been intended for that purpose. Case of the Railroad. The plaintiff introduced its evidence to- day and endeavored to show that it had acquired title to its right of way and other land in the city under dispute from Louls Phillips. Two deeds were presented, one dated September 9, 1373, and another con- veying a fifteen-acre tract and dated March 2, 1895, the consideration in each case being $1. The testimony of Roadmaster Mulvehill of the Pomona division was offered to prove the forcible resistance to the work of building the side-track.

WASHINGTON, May 13.—A report has been submitted to the National Civil Ser- vice League by the investigating commit, tee of the league with reference to al-| leged violations of the civil service law in connection with the administration of the Philadelphia postoffice. The report embodies a letter to the President of the United States asking for the removal of Thomas L. Hicks, postmaster at Phila- delphia. | i | | | | States. ter admitted that he had received “hurry= up” orders to run a siding out on the land known as First street and was attempting to carry out such orders when he and his men were set upon by the infuriated resi- dents and were driven back and finally arrested. To show that it intended the proposed side-track for legitimate purposes John A. Muir, division superintendent of the road, testified that he had recommended last October that the improvement be made, as the company was in need of the track for switching purposes and to ac- commodate prospective warehouses. He denied that he knew then that the Salt Lake road had asked for a right of way over First street, but admitted that he had been informed that such a step would be taken. Plaintiff rested its case upon his evidence. City of Pomona’s Reply. As against the contention of the South- ern Pacific Company the city of Pomona claims that notwithstanding the deeds from Phillips it is entitled to possession of the street in question by wight of pre- scription and that the company has lon recognized by acqulescence the right of the public to use the street. The records of the County Supervisors were intro- duced to show that in 1875 First street, together with other land, wag declared public property and a highway was es- tablished over it Defendant maintains that since that time streets have been laid out, graded and improved and that plain- tiff has itself paid street assessments on property fronting on the streets. The trial is expected to continue three or four days. L CONTRIBUTIONS FOR FIRE SUFFERERS INADEQUATE Address Issued From Jacksonville to the People of the United States.
