The character of the wit- nesses who testified for the prosecution was attacked, with the result that the board of officers appointed to receive the testimony returned a verdict of not guilty. The prosecution of the charges rested with Lieutenant Lioyd England. Davis was defended by Lieutenant Boyd. The books of t merchants re sub- mitted as evidence against Davis, but no record of the payment of any moneys to the corporal could be found on their The aim of the defense was to prove that the charges of the merchan were due to a desire to secure the re- moval of Davis from the arduous duty of provost sergeant. It was shown that in a number of cases the testimony was of- fered by men that had been ordered off the reservation by Davis, and on_many occasions had been escorted -off the rounds by men under the command of davis. TEis claes of testimony was of- fered freely but had little effect, as the | counrel for the defense showed that the removal of the corporal through a convic- tion on the charges preferred would prove of great benefit to those who pre- ferred them The two companies of the Eleventh In- fantry will leave the Presidio this morn- ing at § o'clock for the transport dock, | where they will embark on the transport Lawton tor Manila.

CLEVER ACTRES) N NEW PLAYS Florence Roberts Will Open Season at Alcazar. —_— Florence Roberts, the versatile actress, who has long been a favorite with local playgoers, to open a sixteen-weeks season at the Alcazar Theater, beginning June 3. This will be welcome news to the theater-goers of this city and vicinity. Tney will have an opportunity to see the clever actress in a number of new pro- ductions and in some of the plays that she produced in past seasons and which have added to her fame. Miss Roberts will be supported by such well-known actors as White Whittlesey, Barton Hill and Lucfus Henderson. She will produce a number of plays that have never been seen on this coast. Among them will be ‘For Bonnie Prince Char- lie,” “Countess Valeska” and two new plays by Miss Charlotte Thompson. The first two plays have been produced in the East by Julia Marlowe. Miss Roberts has secured the exclusive rights to them. Her repertoire will contain such popular plays as “Peg Woffington,” “The School for Scandal,” “The Taming of the Shrew’ and a revival of “Sapho,” ' ‘“‘Camille,” Ggmeo and Jullette™ and “The Country r]. Miss Roberts is highly pleased with “For Bonnie Prince Charlie.” She says it s one of the prettiest and best plays che has ever read and she believes it will be greatly enjoyed by the Alcazar patrons. In it she plays the part of a beggar girl and must of necessity be at- tired in rags. This will be somewhat di appointing to her feminine admirers, who critically survey her gowns, as Miss Rob- erts is sald to be one of the best dressed stage. Whittlesey will | hide his handsome countenance behind bushy whiskers and his form will also be clad in rags, as he will play the part of a blind man 80 years old. Henderson will be “Bonnie Prince Charlie” and a bonnie figure he will make. The argument of the play centers upon the disastrous attempt of Charles BEd- ward, the “Young Pretender,” to estab- lish himgelf upon the throne. The hand- some young fellow lands in Scotland and appears to the retainers of Clanmorris, who. rally’ to his support. The play is from the pen of J. I Clark, the noted playwright and is full of dramatic situa- tions and beautiful lines. It is expected to surpass anything of its kind ever put on at the Alcazar. It is a Scottish play and the atmosphere of the land of the heather is sustained throughout. Special music has been written for the produc- tion, the rehearsals of which began yes- terga is Countess Valeska”,is also a play and has been well received in the Eazt. TIn this and other productions Miss Roberts will wear some beautiful cos- tumes that have been specially made for her by Herman of New York. Barton Hill, a survivor of the old California Theater Stock Company, will plav Trip- lett in the production of “Peg Woffing ton.” He has won fame in this part and strong The two new plays by Miss Charlotte Thompson are said 1o be excellent. They are up-to-date comedy dramas and the | California playwright has shown great skill in the writing of them. A peculiar | feature of the plays Is that one is a sequel to the other. One is entitled “Sil- ver Mounted Harness,” and the play that takes up the thread of the story is_called ““Miss Pendragon.” iss Roberts will play Catherine in BUYS SESSIONS. BASIN PROPERTY James de Fremery Pb,ys a Large Sum for the Lands. Accepts, Deeds Despite E. O. Sessions’ Olaim of Fraud, . Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 24, A blg fight Is Imminent over the fifty acres of reclaimed land at the foot of Bixth avenue, East Oakland, known as Sesslons Basin, James L. de Fremery, the New York capitalist, has purchased the property from Allen D, Wilson for 862,000, The decd was placed on record to-day and explaing some of the reasons why K. C, Bessions recently caused a con- tract of wale that he held to be recorded a few days ago. Besslons procured the agreement from the California Improvement Company, and among its provislons was one refer- ring to a quitclaim deed that Wilson held to the property. The agreement recited that this deed had been given by the California Development Company to Wil son for the sole purpose of permitting his attorneys tp examine it. The claim was made that, having failed to perform certaln agreements in connection with the making of the deed, Wilson was not entitled to it and committed a fraud hen he had the transfer to himself re- cordec Capitalist de Fremery has evidently been the object of sgolicitous inquiry concerning his plans about the purchase of the property, but Wilson appears to have headed off Sessions in the actual sale, for the deed to De Fremery I8 made direct from Wilson, Along with tnar deed {s recorded an assignment, however, which tells more of the story. The assignment {5 from Wilsom to B, C, Cuvellier, 1 remery's confldential agent, and eys all Wilson's Interest in a contrs sale of the Besslons roperty, made between H, and Besslons, later awsigned ) n# to the California Improve- ment mpany and subsequently to Wilson, but the last assignment is not yet of record, Apparently Besslons has stepped in with his antecedent contract and at- tempts to ho® pood his claim, while Wil- #on has been negotiating on the strength of hisx agreement with the company. This significant clause i in the asuign- ment to Cuvellier of Wilson's interests |in the contract: ‘“This assignment of sald contrect shall not be construed asg creating any llability against sald Allen D. Wilson in’regard to #ame.” Nefther Wilson nor Sessions have to wage a public shown any disposition They have re- warfare upon cach other. fuged to make explanations. The De Fremery side of the transaction appears to be satisfied with the title gained from Wilson, which he held on his quitclaim deed from the {improvement company. Agent Cuvelller said: “My people do not fear the outcome of any action Mr. Sessions may take over the title to the property. We are con- fident our title is perfect and if the mat- ter goes into court we are satisfled that we can maintain our claim. “This transfer of water front property means much in_the development of the harbor front.

Judge Seawell sustained a demurrer yes- terday to the complaint filed by Mrs, Theresa Bell, as administratrix of the es- tate of the late Thomas Bell, to set aside an assessment levied on &Stock in the Standard Quicksilver Company, which be- came delinquent and resulted in the losd of the stock to the estate. Judge Seawell held that an action to quiet title to per- sonal property would 'not lie, but he pointed out that if Mrs. Bell was refused the right to vote at a stockholders’ meet- ing for the election of directors she could contest the election, or if a dividend should be declared she could sue to re- cover the same, which suit would estab- lish the ownership of the stock.* —_——— To Lecture on Omar Khayyam.

TS AKLAND, May 24—Mrs. Grace Lewls Mann has gone Tast with Betty Washington Mann, -Mr, Mann ix still in Oakland, These facts have more interest behind them than an ordinary soclal an- nouncement which interests mainly those mentioned. Mrs. Grace Lewis Mann has been well advertised of late. First she blazed forth as a soclal light. She was, so it was said, a descendant,, Ilineal or otherwise, of George Washing- ton. She was only 19 yvears of age. That trivial fact was of interest because the Daughters of the American Revolution had to take special action in order to admit_her to their ranks because of her age. She was thereupon heralded by the industrious press agent as the youngest Daughter of the American Revolution. Then Mrs. Mann named her baby Betty Washington Mann, and pictures of Betty minus costume were published for the benefit of an admiring public. Later; Mrs. Mann discovered. that she was the owner of the sword of George Washington. She declared that she was going to sell her great ancestor's side- arm to provide a dowry for Betty Wash- ington Mann, all of which duly became D fan therefotesbe aden’ thet Mrs, Grats Lewls Mann and Betty Washington Mann are quite well known and have become persons of considerable prominence.

WILL WORK ON STREETS TO SECURE FREE LICENSE Bill-Poster Will Labor Ten Days in Return for a Right Peddle. ALAMEDA, May 24.—In exchange for a free license to distribute medicine and campaign literature Angus McEnerney, an aged bill-poster, has agreed with the City Trustees to accept a position in the Street Department and work for ten’ days on the streets of the city without pay. By trading licenses in that way the City Trustees have an idea that they will get all the street work done for nothing and they are going to encourage -people to apply for free licenses. McEnerney tried three times before he finally got the coveted free license. The City Trustees refused the old man twice, but he bobbed up serenely for, the third time last night. Trystee Mackie objected to giving him a license when all the other peddlers had to pay. But McEnerney had an original proposition to make. He said he would labor on the streets for ten days if the Trustees would only give him a license, The license taxes bijl-posters $20 a year for the privilege of putting papers under tront doors, which meant that Mec- | Enerney's wage per diem would be $2. The Trustees thought the scheme over for a while and then decided that they would grant McEnerney's refjuest. When be put the motion to give Me- Enerney a ten-day job President Forderer got badly mixed on the applicant’s name. —_————————— Student Officers. : BERKELEY, May 24—The Assoclated Students of the Berkeley High School eleeted the following officers this morn- ing for the ensuing vear: President, Bert Chaplin; vice president, James Brehm; secretary, Anthony Dorn; treasurer, Wil- liam Henry. 3 e e e MRS.
