12 : HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, " JUNE 26, 1901. CREDITORS WANT THER INTEREST Merchants Make an Ap- peal to the Board of Supervisors. LABE SRR Unwilling to Sign a Clear Receipt for Face Value of Claims. The attorneys of the merchant credi- tors of the city appeared yesterday be- fore the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors and officially notified the members thereof that their clients would positively refuse to waive interest on their back claims. Whilethe board has appropriated the sum of $12,00 to pay in- terest on teachers’ claims, no provision has been made in the tax budget to pay interest on¢ merchants’ claims, although the onstitutional amendment adopted at wne last election provides for the payment of interest on all claims of certain back | yea: The merchant creditors were represent- | ed by Attorneys Thomas D. Riordan, Frank Powers, J. C. Bates and Walker Graves. While they offered no objection to paying interest to the teachers, they expressed themselves as being opposed to ng a clear receipt for the face value e claims. In other words, they de- some plan be formulated so | that the claims for interest would oper-| ate as a lien for the amount due them. Supervisors Hotaling and Jennings, as members of the committee, could not sée their way clear to accept a partial re- ceipt on behalf of the city for the face value of the claims. They refused to rec- | ommend to the board that the payment | of interest be left as a legacy to the suc- | ceeding board, as suggested by the attor- | neys. It was finally decided, after a long dis- | cussion, to submit the matter to con- sideration by. the joint Committee on Finance and Judiciary. A meeting will | be arranged for a later date, at which | the City Attorney will be present, to dis- | cuss the legal phases of the question aft- | er the interested creditors have explained th r cas Motorman Hansen in Trouble.

The framers of the charter fancied that the interests of San Francisco would be protected by separating the municipal election from the contest for State officers. This year citizens will vote for men to govern the city. for men to govern the State.

It would be short sighted politics on the part of outsiders to inter- fere in the local concerns of San Fran- cisco Republicans.

Democratic news- papers known to be in sympathy if not alllance with Republican bosses are very | much concerned at this time over the| growing strength and power of the Re- | publican Primary League. Politicians are importuned to step in and establish counter organizations. The scheme to provoke discord in Republican ranks is clumsy, to say the least. Only the| gudgeons will “take the bait. Sensible | men of the Republican party who are looking forward to Republican success in secure paign this year. The Republican Primary League, free of cliques and factions, is the center of political activity in San Francisco. The | league has no candidates to boom. The main purpose of the organization is to awaken the public to a sense of the im- portance of primary elections, to the end that men of character and intelligence may be elected as delegates to the mu- nicipal nominating conventions. In every district of San Francisco there are in- dications of Republican activity. Citizens are coming together to discuss municipai affairs, and the result of the agitation will be an immense Republican Vote at the pri- maries. = Forty-Fourth District.

WIFE OF FAMOUS OFFICER WHO CAPTURED CHIEF OF PHILIP- PINE INSURRECTIONISTS. ' < ok RS. EDA BLANKART FUN- STON, wife of Brigadier General Frederick Funston, U. 8. A., was among the arrivals on the trans- port Logan from Manila. Mrs. Funston’s sister, Miss Lillian Blankart, was with her. They were greeteq by their Mrs. Otto Blankart, and were taken direct from the transport to Oak- land pier on the Government tug Mc- Dowell, wherce Mrs. Funston went tq her parents’ residence at 1319 Tenth avenue, East Oakland, to remain indefinitely. Il health occasioned Mrs. Funston's return from the Philippines, where she had been with her husband ever since he went back to the islands last year as a brigadier general of volunteers. The climate was oppressive, and, after she had seen her daring spouse win his promotion to the regular army because of his capture of Aguinaldo, Mrs. Funston turned homeward in search of the bracing air of the California Coast. For a year Mrs. Funston had been with her husband at his headquarters in San Ysidro, 100 miles from Manila, where, with his forces, the dashing young Kan- san had been meeting remarkable success in inducing the surrender of insurgent forces which had been under arms in his district. It was during one of his expe- ditions that the documents which gave the clew to the hiding place of Aguinaldo in the far away mountains were found on insurgent officers who had laid down their arms. ¢ Then and there General Funston con- ceived the plan of capture which proved so0 successful. And the brave little Oak- land woman who had sacrificed comfort and home to be at the front with her fighting husband was the first one to lis- ten to his ambitious project as they sat together in the quiet of Ysidro’s camp. ““And you want to know how the plans were made?” queried Mrs. Funston to-day at the Blankart residence. Funston Consults His Wife. “After the papers were taken General Funston immediately began to scheme upon the possibility of Aguinaldo’s cap- ture. My husband talked a great deal with me about his plans, and he im- pressed me with the hazardous features, but 1 did not have to be told that. I realized as well as he did the risk that was involved. ‘““After we had talked many times and gone all over the situation, he asked me flatly: ‘Do you want me to go? “'Do you want to go? I asked, a bi evasively, but after all I was willing he' should make the attempt. It was a des- perate undertaking, but I had to feel that I should be only an encouragement and not a hindrance to the possible successful culmination of the plans. v “After it had been .well-framed in his mind, General Funston made a trip to Manila. He laid the seheme before his immediate superior, General Wheaton, who approved it, and then submitted the proposition to General MacArthur. After his permission had been secured, General Funston returned to “Ysidro and then 1 went to Manila with him to await the re- sult of the expedition, which left on the Vicksburg.” ‘“Was there opposition to your husband's undertaking?” was asked. “Not exactly opposition,” replied Mrs. Funston, “but some of the military men thought the scheme was impracticable, not visionary, but hardly likely to pro- iy SUPREME COURT ALLOWS CLAIM TO A BEQUEST Unincorporated Societies of Charitable Character May Receive Prop- erty Willed to Them. The Supreme Court decided yesterday that an unincorporated soclety with char- itable ends in view is entitled to receive bequests. The decision was reached as a result of the appeal of the Santa Bar- bara Hostorical Society that a bequest of 32000 made to the organization by Henry K. Winchester be turned over to it by the executors. The courts have already established the law that an unincorporated society can- not inherit property, although exceptions have been made in respect to'charities. The executors of Winchester's will re- fused to pay the bequest on the ground that the society was unincorporated. The Supreme Court decideds that although there had been no _incorporation until aft- er the death of the testator. the society was regularly organized and its evident object of dissemination of information to the public should properly be construed as charity. Accordingly the money will be paid to the Historical Society. —_———— Beautiful Picture Book of Yosemite.

It was a long, weary wait,” continued Mrs. Funston, “after I settled down at Manila to await my husband’s return. I must confess I felt some misgivings when the gunboat left the harbor. ‘Well, T had rooms at the residence of Mrs. Captain Ahearn on the Lunetta, overlooking the harbor. There was a long veranda on the second story and from there T used to wait and watch_ the horizon for the smoke tiat would tell the return of the Vicksburgz. But the watch was in vain. The gunboat came in during the night with the prisoners. Meets Her Husband on the Road. “The morning following I started in to the city in a carriage to do some shopping. Half way along the road we met a car- rlage with my husband driving home. ‘We got him,’ was all he said after our first greetings, and then I turned back a!}:i we went home together. They had come into the bay at night that as much secrecy as possible might be observed about the capture. The army officers desired to prevent the people from learning of it until they were ready to ma.ke the news public. “General Funston, with his aid, Agul- naldo and some of his officers. and the military guard. had at dawn taken a launch from the Vicksburg, going direct- ly to General MacArthur’s residence. But, in spite of the effort to keep the capture il"flecret. the news was all around in no e. “‘After we got home an army officer came up to the house on horseback and called on me, saying: ‘Have you heard the news? General Funston has captured Aguinaldo. = **Yes,’ replied, ‘the general is here v. But Jhow did you hear about it?" E: Oh, it's all over Manila,’ he answered. 1 was indeed happy I don’t know Wwhether to say I feit my husband would be successful. * Certainly I felt the utmost confidence in his ability to win, but it was a dreadfully hard undertaking, But what made me really happy was the kindness of all the army men at Manila. They were so open-hearted in their congratula- tions that 1t was indeed one of the most delightful features of my share in Gen- eral Funston’s good fortune. Veteran Officers Congratulate Him. “‘And when the news came of his pro- motion to the ‘regular army every ptme was quick to give his warmest congratu- lations, and no persons were more cor- dial than the old regular officers, many about ready for retirement. It must have seemed hard uvon some of them to see a volunteer crowded ahead of them, but never a word but the heartiest of ‘good wishes came from these men, whose Whole lives had been given to the ser- vice.

Attorney f’ence Also Lets Fall a Remark, but Won't Explain. o Ancther sensation is brewing in the Fair case under the guidance of Mrs. Nettie R. Craven—and her lawyers. An intimation of what may be expected in the near fu- ture is contained in an answer filed by Mrs. Craven to the petition of Theresa A. Oelrichs, Virginia Vanderbilt and Charles personal property of decedent’s estate, now on hearing before Judge Troutt. “I have been advised,” says Mrs. Craven in her answer, “that it is not necessary for me at this time to answer the allega- tion that the petitioners are the oniy chil- dren of the deceased.” This statement at least conveys the im- pression that Mrs. Craven does not wish to estop herself of the right to appear in future as the guardian, if not nearer re- lation, of a child that will claim James G. Fair as its father. And Mrs. Craven's intimation that she might "attempt to prove that Mrs. Oel- richs, Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mr. Fair were blessed with a brother or sister of half blood is strengthened by a remark made by Charles Pence, one of her altorneys, during the hearing before Judge Troutt yesterday of Mrs. Craven’s petition for a transfer of the distribution proceedings to some department of the Superior Court other than that presided over by Judge Troutt. ‘“We want time in which to prepare our case,” said Pence, ‘‘because we purpose contssting every alelgation made by the petitioners in this ca: ‘We purpose con- testing even the allegation made by the of the deceased.” Pence Is Very Reticent. ‘When questioned after the adjournment as_to the meaning of his remark, Pence said: “I do not care at this time to ex- plain the meaning of my statement. I will say, however, that we purpose fighting this matter to the end—yes, until hell freezes over.” ‘When Pence made his statement on top of Mrs. Craven’s refusal to answer the allegation that the petitioners are the only children of the deceased, the attor- neys representing the children and the executors of decedent’s will looked in- terested and they will expectantly await either the forthcoming of a child with Mrs. Craven as its sponsor or an explan- ation by Pence as to the cause which ac- tuated his suggestive remark and the stand of his client as stated. ‘When the petition for a transfer filed by Mrs. Craven was called for hearing v terday morning the majority of attorney representing those interested were present in court. Mrs. Craven was represented by Lafe and Charles Pence. Charles L. Fair's interests were in the hands of Knight & Heggerty and ex-Governor Budd. Cbarles 8. Wheeler and Reuben H. Lloyd appeared for Theresa A. Oelrichs and Virginia Vanderbilt, and Garret Mc- Enerney, Robert Y. Hayne and W. M. Pierson for the executors. After a preliminary wrangle between Charles Pence and Charles J. Heggerty, Judge Troutt decided to take up the hear- ing of the petition for a transfer prior to considering the petition of the children for distribution. Charles Pence then made a long argument in support of Mrs. Cra- ven's affidavit that Judge Troutt was prejudiced against her. “Do you contend, Governor Budd,” asked Pence, “that you or Judge Troutt. or any of us here who sat through the ninety days of the recent trial, is com- petent to try without bias the same issues when presented in another proceeding?"” Counsel Grow Sarcastic. “T'l! admit,” said Budd, “that no sane man who sat in this court during the re- Craven was the widow of James G. Fair.” “Budd's $100,000 contract prejudices him,” remarked an attorne “Well,” answered Budd, “‘you will never be prejudiced by any money you ever got or ever will get out of this estate.” This exchange of repartee closed the morning session. At the opening of the afternoon session Lafe Pence argued in favor of the motion for a transfer and Charles 8. Wheeler closed the argument for the opposition. Judge Troutt held that there had been no showing made by those who urged the transfer, “for,” said the court, “‘though I have decided that Mrs. Craven is not the widow of the deceased that does not con- stitute_or establish prejudice upon my part. In my opinion the statute support- ing a transfer on the ground of prejudice refers to personal prejudice alone, and the claims of a litigant does not, in the court toward the party adversely af- fected by the decision. Therefore the mo- tion for a transfer wiil be denied.” Pence noted an exception to the ruling of the court. The hearing then proceeded S. Neil, manager of the Fair estate, was put on the stand to prove the status of the properties in his control. Incidentally he stated that James G. Fair left no wife or children other than the petitioners. His testimony will be sup- plemented by that of a few persons hav- ing intimate knowledge of the affairs of the dead millionaire and the court will then construe the trust clause of the will relating to the personal property of the estate, for the distribution of which the children have petitioned. The trustees, under the will, claim this personal property is trust oroperty, and the children claim that the entire trust clause in the will of their father fell with the recent decision of the Supreme Court. This controversy the court will settle. Embezzled Treasury Demand. E. A. Nelson, an agent, was arrested vesterday on a warrant charging him with felony embezzlement. The complaining witness is William Haack, saloon keeper, 701 Chenery street, who alleges that he cashed a demand on the City Treasurer for $52, which he indorsed and gave to Nelson to cash at the Treasurer's office.
