Clara Hatzfeldt’s Fruitless Search for Important Record. The foregoing dispatch announcing the compromise of what promised to be the | the history of | greatest will contest in America forms an interesting final chap- ter in the story of Princess Hatzfeldt's efforts to break Into the strong box of the Huntington estate and secure more than the millionaire intended to give her. From the time The Call published ex- clusively the news of the fact that Prin- cess Hatzfeldt had come to California to secure evidence of her adoption to be used in a contest of the dead railway king's last testament each piece of news con- cerning the proposed fight in the courts has been eagerly sought, especially by thi high in the social and financiai world: Each succeeding step in the great strug- gle that has been carried on with suc strong efforts at secrecy has been pub. lished in The Call. Now this paper an- nounces the closing scene in the struggle for millions that has been going on with | so little noise and with battle grounds on both sides of the continent. Goes Directly to Sacramento, The Princess von Hatzfeldt reached this | city on Sunday, June 16, and proceeded directly to Sacramento to question her mother as to her adoption, while her titled husband remained in San Francisco, consulting with attorneys. It was an- nounced,that the Frincess had gone to Sacramento merely on a dutiful visit to her mother and strenuous denials were made of the real object of her visit to the capital city. Collis P. Huntington had willed Princess Hatzfeldt but $1,000,00 from his vast estate, treating her as a foster child, though she had always been looked upon as his adopted daughter. To the nephew, H. E. Huntington, was left 315,000.&0, It is no wonder that the woman who had always lived in the railway millionajre’s household as his daughter should feel re- sentment at being left but one-fifteenth of what had been willed to a nephew and that she should reach a determination to secure what she deemed her rightful shara of the estate. Decides at Once to Bring Contest. That the detérmination to bring the con- test was arrived at very soon after Hunt- ington’s death is shown by the fact that an agent made a secret search within a few days after the contents of Hunting- ton’s will became public of the official records at Sacramento. No record of the adoption/ was found by the mysterlous emissary. Subsequently a search was made by some men high in Southern Pa- cific councils, hut it proved fruitless. Mrs. Prentice said she signed a paper given her by Collis P. Huntington in which she relinquished all claim to Clara in favor of him. There was subsequently a_formal adoption, she said, but she was of the opinion that it might have taken place in New York and that the records were there. Clara Prentice, now the Princess von Hatzfeldt, was born in Sacramento in 181. Her father, who conducted a small grocery in that cl%, was drowned in the flood of 1862. To Collis P. Huntington, who was then in the hardware business at Sacramento, was married Mrs. Pren- tice's sister. Mother Relinquishes Child. Little Clara was about the home of her uncle by marriage a great deal and he became much attached to her. When she was 2 years old her mother consented to let her take up her home permanently with the Huntingtons. From that time she was taught to call her aunt and uncle by marriage ‘“‘mamma’” and “papa.” Her | city limits. | mains to cemeteries in adjoining counties | favor of still further legislation. | mother's house one day and WILL BE FULL IN TWD YEARS Burial Space Is Growing " Short at National Cemetery. Anxiety as to Selection of New Site by Army Authorities. b o 3 The Natlonal Cemetery at the Pre- sidio is rapidly filling up and two more vears, at the outside, will see every foot of the military burial ground, with the exception of that portion set aside for the remains of commissioned officers, packed tightly with the bodies of Uncle Sam's soldiers. ' Expansion of the cemetery within the limits of the reservation is Impossible. The quartermaster’s department, in view of the large number of bodies being shipped in from the Philippines, already on the lookout for a site for a watch the efforts of the quartermaster’s department with considerable interest. The present site of the National Ceme- tery was lald out in 1885. At that time consecrated to the purpose of sheltering military branch of the Government. In those days, and up to the time of the Spanish war, burials were infrequent. Three or four a month would be about the average. Even at that rate, how- ever, the space set aside for this purpose became too small and about two years before the war with Spain seven acres more were added to the cemetery. The present site is bounded on the north by Fort Point road, on the south by a stone quarry, on the east by a deep gulch, and the stone fence on the west- overcrowded army post. It contains in all fifteen and a half aeres. Census of the Silent City. Its sleeping inhabitants num- bered 3250. During the month of June there were over a hundred interments. Last month not quite forty were buried, but stacked up in the warehouses of the post are the remains of several hundred more. These will be kept a little longer awaiting .orders for their disposition from relatives. Some of them will doubtless be shipped out of the State, but the ma- jority will be buriéd at the Presidio. ‘As’ a National Cemetery the burial ground at the Presidic will never be dis- turbed. Ir two vears or less, as there is room for only about 3000 more bodies, the last funeral must be held. Then will come the selection of a new site, also permanent, and the citizens of San Fran- cisco are determined to see that the se- lectior is made in accordance with the ideas they expressed wnen they voted for the clcsing of all cemeteries within the last July. The cemeteries now within the -city limits are by law closed. Their removal is only a matter of time. With the Na- tlonal Cemetery it is d'fferent. izen who has at any time served ~with honor in the United States Army is en- titled to burial there, and once buried the remains are at rest forever. The district surrounding the Presidio is rapidly being settled. Residences are in course of construction on every hand and in a comparatively short time the reser- vation will be contiguous to a thickly populated portion of the city. Before that time comes, however, the | quartermaster’s department will have to face the prablem af providing nnother) place for the army dead, and property owners in the outlying districts are an: fously awaiting the action of the depart- ment. Cremation a Partial Solution. Cremation has in a measure solved the problem as regards the citizen dead, the records of the various crematories in the | city showing that the prejudice against that disposition of human bodies is fast dying out. Relatives of those buried in the city cemeteries are in many cases an- ticipating the coming general obliteration of the abodes of the dead from the haunts of the living by removing the re- where they will be secure from further disturbance. In all the cemetery districts there is a strong feeling among property owners in Burials have been stopped but the danger from | the burying of the past is still present, and until the city cemeteries are not only closed but removed bodily these property owners and others interested in the pub- lic health will keep up the agitation. Meanwhile the people are wondering{ where the Government will bury its sol- ! aier dead when the National Cemetery is | filled. L e e e e e e el i mother became her “auntie.” The child grew to girlhood in the firm belief that | the Huntingtons were her parents. i At 14 years of age the truth became | known to the girl. She became very bit- | ter upon making the discovery and it was deemed best to send her to a school in the East. It is said that Clara never saw her mother again until after C. P. Hunting- ton's death. He was so jealous of her, it is said, that he would not let her visit her | parent’ and would become angry at any | intimation that she was not really his | deughter or at any remark that ascribed | her parentage to another. Touched Huntington’s Heart. There is a r{retly little story as to how | the great rallroad man came to adopt | little Clara. It Is said he was at her the child looked up at him, smiling, and called him | “papa.” The heart of the cold man of | business was So_touched that he deter- mined to indeed be the pretty little one's papa as far as the law could make him so. Clara Huntington; as she became known, | was married to Prince Francis Von Hatz: feldt at Brompton Oratory on October 28, | 1889. By this marriage she became Clara, | Princess of Hatzfeldt-Wildenberg, one of the noblest houses in Germany. er hus- | band was deeply in debt, but arrange- ments were made to keep him above water and the interest on $3,000,000 was | placed at her disposal.

I assured them personally of my desire to enforce the order of the higher court and to render every possi- ble assistance in the maintenance of order and protection to life and property. I had not then been able to examine the papers in the case. Later in the day, after I had done so, I dictated and signed two letters of which these are verbatim copies: Letters During the Tumult. Maj. Van Arsdale, Nome City, Alaska—My Dear Major: After you called with Captain French this morning I saw the original papers on file from the Circuit Court of Appeals, and I find it is necessary for an order to be en- tered by this court Which will be entered, of course, as soon as the same can be prepared and such further steps taken as will be a full and complete compliance With the order of the Ctreuit Court of Appeals. My anxiety in this matter s to do every- thing in my power and have all those whom I can in any wise control fully comply with the crder of the court above, which, of course, will be done. In the meantime it is necessary that matters should rest in statu quo and ‘peace until order be preserved, and I therefore request that you render such assistance to the Marshal as may be necessary to maintain that peace and quiet. Assuring you of my desire to co-operate in every effort that is needful In order to preserve life and “property, I am. very sincerely yours, ARTHUR H. NOYES, Judge. Nome, Alaska, Sept. 15, 1900. The second letter reads as follows: C. L. Vawter, United States Marshal, Clty— Dear Marshal: I have been able for the first time to make an examination of the original ‘ircuit Court of order sent down from the Ci necessary for Aw?l-. and find that it will be me enter certain orders of record here, as they can be “‘MS‘"“ be done as soon N is | new burial ground and the public will | eight and a half acres were set aside and | the remains of officers and men of the | ern border separates it from the already | The census of this silent city was taken | Every cit- | NOME GROWDED [TH IDLE MEN Many Are Trying to Earn Money for Passage Home. Latest Marine Disaster in the North Is the Wreck of Schooner Sennett. g A PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Aug. 22.— The exodus from Nome is fairly on and | each steamer arriving from there brings large-numbers. The Roanoke, which ar- rived this afternoon from Nome, brought 130 cabin passengers besides a large num- ber in the steerage, which makes about 1000 who have arrived from the North this season, and from reports each sue- ceeding steamer will be loaded with pas- sengers until the ice closes navigation. Returning passengers report Nome as being remarkably quiet and filled with idle men, many of whom are willing to | work for almost anything in order to get passage money, but there is no work and great anxiety s felt by residents as to i what will be done with so many destitute men. The Roanoke brought down $600,000 in | dust, the bulk of which was shipped by the North American Trading an rans- portation Company. Besides the above it i Is estimated that the passengers had on | their persons $200,000 more. | _The Roanoke brings news of another | marine disaster in the North. The four- masted schooner James Sennett, Captain | J. F. Holstrup, is high and dry on the north end of Urimak Island, having gone ashore August 7 during a dense fog. Cap- tain Holstrup came down on the Roanoke and reports the Sennett resting easily on a | gravelly beach, and if no storm comes up she can be floated. The vessel was built this year at Coos Bay and is owned by C. A. Hooper & Co. of San Francisco. She was in ballast on the return trip when she went ashore, The remains of Captain E. D. Dixon of the Yukon steamer Louise had arrived at St. Michael and will be taken to San Francisco on the St. Paul. The crew of the wrecked whaler Gram- | pus sailed from Nome on the steamer Va- lencia August 11. The Valencia had no i other passengers as she intended visiting the various canneries along the coast and | gather up this season’s salmon pack. L e e e e e e e e S S e | drawn and soread upon the record. In the meantime, it devolves upon you to preserve the peace and good order so far as it is pos- sible for you to do, and I have taken occasion to request Major Van Arsdale to render such assistance as is necessary to protect life and property and to hold things in statu quo un- til the order can be prepared and presented to the court. Sincerely vours, ARTHUR H. NOYES, Judge. Judge Noyes continued as follows: T had the order referred to in the above let- ters prepared and submitted to me on Monday. It was not entirely satisfactory, and I directed ! that it be changed so as to include the exact language used by the higher court. This was | | done, and the following morning 1 signed it. { There were four cases involved. In two of them no papers were sent down other than the supersedeas. In the other two were included | the order of the court. | When the cases at issue were before me I | | refused to allow an appeal because in my | opinion the appointment of a recelver was not | an_appealable order. The code especially pro- { vides for an appeal of an injunctional order. | From authorities cited I did not believe the in- | junctional feature incident to the appointment | of receivers made the order appealable. This | feature was made prominent for the first time | {in the Circuit Court of Appeals. No conten- | tion was ever made before me that the Injunc- | tional order incident to the appointment of a | receiver was the appealable order provided for | by the code. First Hears of Charges. In the early malls received February last I heard that charges had been filed against me and forwarded from Washington. I did not re- celve them until July 4 and knew nothing pre- vious to that time as to the nature of the charges. 1 had never heard or read a copy of the opinion of the Circuit Court of Appeals un- til long after several copies were in the camp. I was then indebted to C. S. Johnson, who kindly loaned me the copy he had. Not know- ing_the nature of the charges that had been made against me, I thought it best to remain silent "until I should receive copies of same. I knew before navigation closed that ore Braslan, whom I had understood was in_the employ of the Pioneer Mining Company, Wild Goose Mining Company, or some other com- panies, had been sent out to the States. After- ward I received a clipping from a San Fran- cisco paper wherein Braslan made gross, malicious_and false accusations against me. Amoug other things he charged that McKen- zle had paid off the mortgage on my house, pald my personal debts, secured me transpor- tation, and other false and malicious intima- tions. That I believe was the first enlistment of the press against me. It became general thereafter with no opportunity to me to make denial of the unmitigated falsehoods and wicked charges promulgated against me. Soon after navigation closed the camp so far as the court was concerned quieted down, and I believe that I was on good terms with prac- tically all of the inhabitants. No one could have been more kindly or considerately treat- ed than was Mrs. Noyes and myself by almost all of those who had been arrayed against me. Many of them again took up the fight when Teports were received from the outside. The litigants in_a great many instances are in- tense in their feelings. Property involved is valuable or believed to be valuable, consisting mostly of mining properties where an extrac- tion of the gold is necessarily a destruction of the property, and_applications for restraining orders and injunctions are very numerous. Receivers Not Satisfactory. The appointment of receivers from a practi- cal standpoint was not satisfactory in several instances, and not being countenanced by the Circuit Court of Appeals I have tried as far as possible to allow the parties in possession under the clalms of title to work the property by giving a bond to the opposite party and complying With certain other orders of court, an accounting being required practically as from a receiver. This, of course, is not a rule capable of uniform enforcement. The desira of the court, however, as far as possible is to allow mines to be worked, in order that labor may be employed and the resources of the camp developed. Tn regard to the removal of Mr. Borchsenius as clerk of the District Court I had been ad- Vised that he was unfriendly to the court and had written a letter to certain officlals in the Bfates calculated to arouse prejudice against | ties of food but get and nourishing.

My attention Is called to the Fink Interview in the Seattle Times of July 25. Tt is so grossly and absolutely false as to be ridiculous in Nome, but where Mr. Fink is not known, and the prevailing condition of Neme not under- stood, it may receive some credence. A Grand Sury was not even contemvlated at this term of court, the District Attorney informing me that mo occasion for it existed. This opinion was glven prior to the term and before the dismissal of Borchsenius. I do not think that Mr. Borchsenius himself will claim anything to the contrary. The utterances of Mr. Fink were his own fabrications, without any foundation whatsoever, and where he s known will only cause a smile. In conclusion I desire to say that I have not knowingly or willingly done or said an Improper thing since I arrived in Alas- ka. On the contrary 1 have to the best of my ability, and as far as possible, performed all of the'duties that devolved upon me in a con- sclentious and honest manner.

I have pursued the same course in life in Alaska as has been my rule in life in years gone by. I think I can safely that my enemies, and I have some, question my honesty of purpose and desire to do right as far as I have been or am able to see it. Clerk Clayton Rearrested.
