THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WED DAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1901 GHILD ATAGHS TRUST IN WL Litigation to Involve the John J. Reed Estate. Little Elvira Garcia Seeks to Profit by Decision in the Fair Oase. e Special Dispatch to The Call SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 3.—The mysterious bequest of the late John J. Reed of $i0,- 00 worth of property to elght-year-old Elvira Garcia, the daughter of Mrs. Francis Wood of San Francisco, was again brought to public notice to-day, when Attorney G. W. Towle, on behalf of the child, filed an opposition to the 4is- tribution of the estate as prayed for in the petition of Gusto Vidal, the executor of the Reed At the time of his death John J. Reed was one of the largest land holders in this county. He resided with his wife and two grown children, a son and a daughter, on his beautiful property at Reeds Station.

Who Elvira Garcia was no_one then knew, nor did Reed either in his will or otherwise see fit to offer the slightest explanation of his bequest. Elvira was found to be the daughter of Mrs. Francls Wood of San Francisco. The property left to the child includes El Campo and consfderable land in California City. At the time it was believed the family would contest the will, but this it declined to do, thereby adding another phase to the tery. Veral days ago_ Attorney Thomas P. Boyd, on behalf of Vidal, petitioned for a distribution to him in trust of the estate of little Elvira. The opposition filed this morning asks that the property be dis- tributed direct to her, notwithstanding the terms of the will.

Humphries, Judge of the Circuit Court of the First Judicial Circuit, Territory of Hawaii, who is under charges by mem- bers of the Bar Association of the Ha- wailan Islands, who ask for his removal, and F. W. Yankee, who represents the Bar Association in the comtroversy, held a conference with Attorney General Knox o-day. . The substance of the charges is that Judge Humphries controls and is actively engaged in the publication of a partisan newspaper while exercising the powers and performing the duties of Circuit Court Judge; that he takes an active part in bitter political controversies; that he uses his powers as Judge to promote his | own personal and political ends; that he is harsh, tyrannical and vindictive toward members of the bar and others, and that he has held in disregard the obligations devolving upon him as Judge and has brought the same into public disrepute and under suspicion. In his reply Judge Humphries says that he owns a controlling interest in the Hon- olulu Republican, but upon receipt of his commission as Judge he severed all con- nection with the editorial policy or utter- ances of the paper. He says that he has taken a deep interest in politics, but de- nies that he has ever been perniciously active or has taken any part in politics unworthy of his position upon the bench. | He also denies that he has made any im- proper use of the powers vested in him as Judge, or that he has been harsh or tyrannical in ids treatment of attorneys practicing before him, or that he has held | in disregard the upon him as Judge The charges and specifications, in print- ed form, cover 29 pages, and the Judge's reply fifty-five pages.

PR BERERREPERER SRR RREERIEERRRRIRRIERRA TIPS CLAIMS NEW TAX LEVY 13 [LLEGAL Toland Objects to the Action of Fellow Equalizers. Special Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Sept. 3.—State Equal- izer T. O. Toland promises to make trou- ble because the State Board of Equaliza- tion fixed the State tax levy yesterday | The meeting was eld in the morning; the members ap- peared to be waiting for somebody, and finally one of the Equalizers remarked that Toland had not yet made his ap- pearance. This elicited from the presi- dent, Alexander Brown, the response that Toland seldom appeared at the meetings, anyway, and that, for his part, he was fi and did not propose to wait for anybody. The other members assented to this ar- rangement and the board proceeded, first to reduce the assessment of the Puilman Company $150,000 and then to fix the State tax rate at 48 cents on the $100. Toland says he was not in Sacramento yesterday because it was Labor day, & legal holiday, and that he did not attend meetings of tHe board on legal holldays unless It was, expressly understood be- forehand. The law, he says, provides that the tax rate shall be fixed between ths first and second Mondays of September, and he considers that this means that the rate shall be fixed after the first Monday, which was yesterday. He believes that the fixing of the tax levy yesterday was illegal, and says he is here now to fix the tax rete and will try to get into com- munication with the other members, in order to hold another meeting. The other members, with . the exception of State Controller Colgan, have left the city. POWWOW OF WASHOE AND DIGGER INDIANS Redskins of Two Counties Make Burnt Offerings to the Evil Spirit. ANGELS CAMP, Sept. 3.—For the last three days the Washoe and Digger In- dians of Tuolumne and Calaveras coun- ties have been holding their annual pow- wow at Murphys, about 400 being in at- tendance. This is the first celebration of the kind these tribes have had in twelve years, and it {8 held in a new wickiup built especially for this occasion. The old one was considered unlucky, a brave hav- ing been killed in it at their last dance. For three days the Indians have been weeping for their dead, according to their custom, but last night their mourning ended with the “‘feast of the devil.” They attached a wire to the top of a pine tree 200 feet high and strung it full of all sorts of presents of clothing. Then they bullt a fire at the bottom of it and soon the entire tree was ablaze, while the Indians danced around the fire as though pos- sessed. To-night the feast of the celebration occurred. Their grove was lighted by bonfires, while they danced about. Not expecting such a large crowd, the natives did not bring enough provisions, and a, BISHOP WELLS ON REMARRIAGE Would Permit Innocent Divorcees to Wed Again. ——— Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Sept. 3.—Episcopal Bishop Lemanuel H. Wells, holding jurisdiction over Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, is at variance with opinions re- garding the marriage of divorced persons imputed to other prominent delegates to the Episcopal General Convention soon to be held at San Francisco. A telegram from St. Paul reads: Local delegates to the Episcopal General Con- vention have declared for the prohibition of the marriage of divorcees. This telegram was shown to Bishop Wells, and he said: ““At’ present the church allows a di- vorced person to remarry only when he or she was an innocent party to a dlyorce granted for the Scriptural cause. "I be- lieve that where a divorce has been grant- ed for the Scriptural cause the innocent party should be allowed to marry again. “I do not think it quite wise to say how I shall vote in the matter, pending full discussion by such an atigust body as the general convention, but I believe that the terrible iIncrease of divorces and subse- quent marriages of gullty divorced per- sons in this country is a most serious menace to its continued virtue and pro- priety.

BAKERSFIELD, Sept. 3.—Martin Ech- averry, a teamster in the employ of F. M. Noriega, last night sustained a complete fracture of the spine, in the middle of the back, by being run over by a wagon from which he had been thrown as the horses were running away on the Rosedale road, two miles west of this city. The injured man is now apparently on the road to complete recovery, the fracture having been reduced without apparent injury to the spinal cord, although the spine over- lapped at the-point of the break Drs. Kellogg and Taggart, the attending physi- clans, are of the opinion that the injury will not prove serious, provided inflamma- tion does not set in. Despite the.fact that the spine was se arated by the weight of the wagon, Ech- averry managed to get upon his feet and walked for about 200 yards before he knew he was seriously injured. From his own statement it seemed that his back re- fused to support the welght of his head and shoulders only affer he felt & numb- ness in the limbs. T U Registration at Stanford.

TACOMA, Sept. 3.—The Alsak River in Alaska was explored for the first time this sumer by Morton Maynon, formerly of Oakland, Cal. Maynon had been a member of the crew of the steamer Islander until July, when he left her to engage in prospecting. Hiring Klinena Bill, a Chilkat Indian guide, and the lat- ter's squaw, Susie, he determined to see an unmapped portion of Southeastern Alaska. With the squaw to cook and Bill to pack goods Maynon reached the head- waters of the Alsak, having traveled by canoe to the Porcupine district and thence across to the headwaters of the Klahena River by packhorses. Maynon’ found that the Klahena heads in a vast rolling moorland at an altitude of 2000 feet. This great moor is fairly alive with marmots. Lower down the mountain the country is spotted with open places, interspersed with woodlands. The open places afford luxuriant forage for horses and cattle. Following up the Kla- hena, they discovered the glacier which feeds that stream. The country is of limestone formation and the rocks are easily worn by water. At one place the water had worn its way through a tunmel nearly fifty feet long, forming ‘a massive natural bridge. Many | caverns were found, filled with stalactites and stylagmites. Lower down the stream Maynon and his companions. had two thrilling 'escapes from death, first, ‘while killing cinnamon | bears, and, later, from going over high falls on the lower reaches of the Alsak. ‘Where, they camped over night cinnamon bears were observed coming down to the river in twos and threes to fish for sal- mon. It was.a curious sight to see the great, clumsy monsters paw out salmon upon the bank and then suck the flesh from the bones. Maynon and the Indian resolved to kill at least one bear apiece the following night. To avold the swarming of mosqui- toes the squaw made them mosquito armor consisting of an ointment of drying sal- mon oil and :firuce pitch. There being no darkness at that season, Maynon and his guide took their station behind rocks at midnight. They had waited scarcely an hour when the bears began to appear. Selecting the largest two they fired Both monsters showed fight, and rushed upon the hunters. The latter shot repeat- edly, but the bears were within twelve feet of them before the bullets finally brought them down. Two nights later, while drifting down stream they approached the edge of a high cataract and saved themselves from golng over it only after a hard struggle by stopping their raft against a projecting rock, upon which they climbed. The raft went over the falls, and they were com- pelled to bulld one below the rapids. L ] ) MANY CHANGES IN THE FAGULTY Stanford’s Secretary An- nounces List of Ap- pointments.

Spencer’s story of his arrest and deten- tion follows: I was out at Caloocan as usual on February 24, expecting that an attack would be made on Malabon, and had decided to return to Ma- nila. For some time it was dangerous to go backward and forward from the line, on ac- count of rebel sharpshooters, and it was usual for three or four to go together. I was sitting on the railroad track about 1000 yards from headquarters reading a newspaper and waiting for some soldiers to come along wWho were go- ing into town. Two soldiers approached. asked them if they were going to town, and in reply they asked me what regiment I be- longed to and who I was. Their tone was so insulting that I told them that it was none of thelr business. They took me in charge and carried me before Gemeral Otis, whose headquarters was at Caloocan. General Otis asked me to give an account of myself from December § to that date. My story did not satisfy the general and he sent me to Manila, and I was taken before Major Strong at Molate.
