There wers thousands of visitors. All San Jose is jubllant over the success of the recep- tion arranged for the President and all that is regretted is that the chief execu- tive could not be here to enjoy it. Direc- -3 | tor General Greeninger and Mayor Mar- tin, the chairman of the general commit. tee, are beinz congratulated on the way in which the carnival was handled. The fine apearance of the city and its decora- tions are due to the efforts of Dr. H. D. Brown, chairman of the decoration com- mittee, and who attended to the details in person. There was a band concert this morning in St. James Park, which crowded that pleasure resort. Alum Rock Park was liberally patronized amd hundreds of peo- ple went driving through the orchards. ‘Another concert was given in the park this afternoon and many ofy the people who attended spent the afternoon lolling around under the shade of the trees. Others went to the bicycle races. Rex and his jolly band of maskers over- ran San Jose this evening and mirth and jollification were the order of his reign. The streets were thronged with people, who jostled against and pelted one an- other with confetti. It was a proper close carnival which opened with the visit of the President. Rex was personated by Id Jobson and his Quen was Eimile Lion. At 8:30 o’clock Rex started on his tour of the city and f i ! H PLAINTIFF IND PROSECUTOR Colonel Duncan to Con- duct Suit Against His Daughter. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, May 15.—"T believe that | when a man is a lawyer and understands | his own case better than any one else he | should attend to it personally,” said Col- | onel Blanton Duncan to-day. Colone! Duncan filed a certified copy of a will, probated in Kentucky and made by his late wife, Mary T. Duncan. An olographic codicll accompanied the cer- tified copy and will figure prominently in the legal battle between Colonel Duncan and his only daughter. Mrs, Katherine Lewis, both of whom are seeking to ob- tain the valuable property of the late Mrs. Durcan. Mrs. Lewls, soon after her mother’s death, filed a will signed by her mother and dated October 26, 1893. This document Jeaves the Los Angeles home on Figueroa strect and_the personal property to Mrs. Lewis. The personal property is in the | possession of the daughter, but the hus- | band and father is suing to recover this progerty. J The will dated December 25, 1886, deeds to the husband property in Kentucky and makes him trustee of the entire estate, which is to go to Mrs. Lewis at his death. The codicil, dated September 17, | 1899, names Colonel Duncan as executor and is practically the same as the original will. The witnesses are Alice Austin Antomeski and Minnie C. Wood, both of Los Angeles. WEDDING ENOT IS TIED BEFORE PARENTS CONSENT Daughter of Former Attorney Gen- eral Harmon Secretly Married to a Civil Engineer. CINCINNATI, May 15.—Announcement was made to-day that Miss Marjorie Har- mon, daughter of Judson Harmon, ex-At- torney General of the United States, was secretly_married Monday afternoon to George Heckle, a civil engineer of Boston, Mass. The engagement of the couple had been announced and the wedding was set for June, but owing to Miss Harmon's youthfulness her parents favored a post- ponement. Heckle came here on Sunday and on Monday afternoon he and Miss Harmon visited the residence of a near-by rector and were married in the presence of two friends of the bride. ———— Why endure torture from fleas when you can get rid of them by using Searby’s *‘Fleas-Mu Go?” 400 Sutter street. 2 / BT the route was lined with cheering people.

Since then he has been In an unconscious condition, and his mysterious assaflant may have to answer to a murder charge if he be cap- | turea. McCormick left his home shortly before 8 o’clock for his place of business and at the same time his wife went to visit friends. They agreed to return to the home at 8:30 o'clock. Shortly after this hour his wife was returning and was pasflng through an alley way leading to the'residence when she heard moans. She became frightened and went to a nefgh- bor's for assistance. Returning with the neighbor, she found her husband lying on the ground, face downward. His right pocket lining was pulled out. He looked up and said: “He hit me ard took my monev.” Then he fell back unconscious. —Since that time he has opened his eves at inter- vals of a few hours and uttered a few in- | coherent words. j At number of men who had been sum- moned and carried McCormick to his home found that his watch was gone, but after a search it was found, Wwith the chain broken. found a heavy bruise across the face.

St. Gregory. Speclal Dispateh to The Call. TACOMA, May 15.—Alexander McDon- ald, the richest gold miner in Dawson, has been solemnly Invested with the title and insignia of a Knight of St, Gregory by special authority of Pope Leo XIil. Dawson advices say that the ceremony of presentation in St. Mary’s Catholle Church was the most solemn service ever held there. The insignia of the order was pinned upon Mr. McDonald’s breast by Mrs. McDonald, who knelt beside him before the chancel railing. The Catholics of Dawson feel they have been especially honorgd, since this order has been conferred ypon only two other Canadians, both now dead. These were former Governor Chapleaux and former Prime Minister Merciervof Quebec. The | presentation of the crder to MeDonald | was made by Father Gendreau, who re- | celved a papal letter to the recipient con- ferring the title last summer, when Father Gendreau visited Rome. The honor is the result of Mr. McDonald's Iiberality to the church, as exemplified by his founding of the Dawson Hospital and his gift of $25,000 toward St. Mary's Church. — These gifts were made tnree years ago. e CHOATE MAKES CHARGE AGAINST MRS.

R LR BERLIN, May 15—The War Office has received the following from the German headquarters at Peking: “General Liu's troops attacked and scat- tered 10 Boxers ‘forty-five kilometers south of Paotingfu.” Officials here, discussing the answer of the Chinese Peace Commissioners say the fact of prime significance therein is that the commissioners agree to the indemni- ties as demanded, and the withdrawal of | the troops can now proceed forthwith, but | that not all the foreign forces will be withdrawn at once. The Chinese proposition to raise the im- port and export duties will probably be accepted, since the only other possibility of increasing China's revenues is the re- form of the likin duties, which the pow- ers particularly wish to avoid, because it would recuire too much mixing in the civil affairs of China. Further interna- tional control over the customs will be unnecessary, beyond Sir Robert Hart's. The prolongation of the payments to | thirty years will probably be accepted. | Germany appears favorably disposed thereto. The recuest for a reduction of the in- demnities will still ke discussed by the Ministers at Peking, who must first get the instructions of their Governments. It is anticipated here that other nations will | make stronger objections<to a reduction |\ than Germany, which appears to be will- ing to reduce the amount If it is seen that | China is unable to pay all .

COURT RESTORES CHILD TO DR. FRANK MARTIN Story of Merced Physician’s Brief Courtship and Stormy Married Life Retold. SAN JOSE, May 15.—The fleeting love of a doctor and a pretty Spanish girl was recounted in Judge Hyland's department of the Superior Court this morning when the habeas corpus proceedings Instituted yesterday by Dr. Frank Martin of Merced to obtain possession of his two weeks old child came up for hearing. This action was directed against Mrs. Louisa Coron- ado, in whose possesssion the child has been since its birth. Two years ago the doctor practiced medicine in this city and where here he fell a vietim to the wiles of Alicla Pin- Their mar- ried life was as short as the courtship and g few months later she left him while he was in Watsonville and returned to see her mother in Guadalupe, who was on her deathbed. The mother died and at the funeral the doctor and his young wife quarreled. FHe did not want her to at- tend the funeral, because she would have ridden in a hack with a former admirer. Dr. Martin was arrested for disturbing the peace and the couple separated. Mrs. Martin made her home with Loulsa Coronado, an old Spanish woman, and it s is sald she was madly infatuated with | Pietro Coronado, the latter's son. Tn fact. the doctor to-day said that his mother-in-law on her deathbed had been the means of separating them, as she had made her daughter promise to desert him for the young man. Mrs. Martin died on May 6, at the th the baby was born, and the child fell the care of Mrs. Coronado. A few da ago Dr. Martin returned here and de- mandéd his child, but the old Spanish woman refused to give it up.
