Miss Mary Margaret Isabella Murphy subscribed for $5000 of the stock of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway Compary. Victor H. Metcalf was | the attorney in fact for Miss Murphy at | that time. After Miss Murphy's death Mme. Le Gonidec claimed that she had purchased the stock from her sister and | demanded from Mr. Metcalf, the executor | of Mary Margaret Isatella Murphy, the $5000 received by him from the sale of that stock. Mr. Metcalf, having no evidence of the right of Mme. Le Gonidec to the money, and not knowing anything at all about the alleged purchase of the stock by Mme. Gonidec, as executor of the estate of | the deceased of course had to reject the | claim, and it is upon that rejected claim, | as executor, that the suit was brought. Partial Distribution of Estate. The statement of Mme.

One of them came to grief yesterday in an effort to inveigle a number of prominent citizens into a scheme whereby he and his confederates could *‘work” the city for contributions toward the McKinley monument fund. He made a mistake by attempting to make members are familiar with the records of his flk. Martial Davoust called upon the officers ot the Press Club on Wednesday. He! claimed to represent a committee of citi- | zens including in its membership such | well known men as 1. J. Truman, General | Barnes, G. H. Umbsen, Major ' Hooper, John P. Gallagher and a number of oth- ers. This committee, he explained, had started a movement for a benefit to swell the monument fund, which it desired to give under the auspices of some reputabie club, which shouia lend its name to the affair and have charge of the financial end. Davoust was told that the Press Club would consider the matter and give him an answer on Friday. | An investigation was at once instituted, | and the alleged members of Davoust's committee were communicated with, | the result being about what the Press ! Club officers had surmised. It was found | that Davoust had induced citizens to en- | ter into his plans by claiming to represent | the Press Club and then had sought to| interest the club by posing as the repre- sentative of the citizens' committee. General Barnes Indignant. General W. H. L. Barnes, whom Da- voust had declared to be a leader in the | movement, sent a communication to the | Press Club board of managers and alsu appeared before them in person. He said | that he had been approached by Davoust, | and after the latter's scheme was unfold- | ed had scented trickery and absolutely refused to permit his name to be used unless he received authentic_assurance from the officers of the ciub that the proposition was bona fide. When the gen- | eral was told that Davoust had put him forward as a prime mover in the ‘“bene- fit” plan and that he had even been de- | clared to have suggested that Davoust and his associates should get 25 per cent | of the gross proceeds for their efforts in promoting the affair he denounced the | schemer in emphatic language. | John P. Gallagher also appeared before the board, and others on Davoust's “com- mittee” sent communications in effect | similar to that of General Barnes. Having heard these statements the club summoned Davoust before them, presumably to have him explain his plans more fully. He was led on by questioning until the full details of h nefarious project were lald bare. Then | he was informed of the result of the club’s Investigation and in a way that al- most took his breath away. President | Stover gave warning that any further at- | tempt on his part to make use of the club name would be prosecuted, and called | upon the steward to show the ‘‘grafter” | to the door. | Davoust was well ejuipped with sta- | tionery bearing the names of prominent men as his associates in the “benefit” project. It is understood that he is at- | tempting to interest other clubs in simi- | lar schemes in connection with the Mc- Kinley monument fund.

TEAMSTERS ARE AGAIN ON TRUCKS AND UNION MEN LABOR ON DOCKS Strikers Carry Out Terms of Agreement by Applying to Employers for Work, and as Many as Possible Are Given Employment. Labor Council Postpones Motion to Raise Boycotts. HE efforts of the strike leaders to hold the men in line were suc- cessful . yesterday, and the first steps of the fulfillment of the terms of the agreement were taken quietly and in good spirit. Both teamsters and water front laborers ap- plied for work, and where it was given them they took théir places by the side of non-union men without protest. It was an extremely lively day in dray- ing and teaming circles. For the first time in many weeks the wheels of trucks which had grown rusty for want of use were greased and the vehicles placed in commission. ‘leamsters who had been upon a more or less enforced holiday for a corresponding period vaulted into their Seuls witn wacriy, and with a Cracking of whipiashes wiich resembied artillery in action entered upon the discharge of tneir auty. krom 1eiiable figures gathered at the headquarters of tue Draymen’s “Assocla- tion auring the day it is known that fully 500 teamsiers, or o) per cent of tne total union membership, were reinstated in tneir old positions. Many will be disap- pointed because of the empioyment of non-union men, whom the iarger dray- men decline to discnarge in oraer to give tne old teamsters tneir places. There s some grumpling at this, put the men are accepting the situation philosophicaily and litue friction has developed. All in all, the aeveiopments of the day were Sat- 1sfactory to ail concerned. ‘Ihere are 240 araying firms connected with the Draymen’'s Association. Of this number less than twenty firms employ more than twenty men. The firm having the greatest number of teams is McNao & Smith, they having 115 trucks engaged in the draying business. Over 20 draymen employ from one to ten men, while twenty employ from ten to twenty teamsters. 1n tne cases of the smaller draymen nearly all remnstated their teamsters yesterday morning. According to reports from these draymen, some 350 teamsters were given places on trucks. Among the larger con- cerns the percentage of non-union men still employed ranges from 30 to 50. Many however, are from the country and came here to work during the pendency of the strike in order to lay aside a_‘‘stake” for the winter. While of them will remain in their posi- it is estimated that fully one-half will gradually give up their positions ana return home. As these vacancles occur they wiil naturally be filled by the ap- pointment of union men. Few Specials Employed. The scenes about the various stables vesterday were gratifying to employers as well as the teamsters tnemselves. The men were ready to resume their long in- terrupted labor, and for the first time the non-union teamsters approached the old- time strikers without tear of being at- tacked. A few of the non-union team- sters in the employ of Farnsworth & Ruggles were timid of going into the streets without police escorts, and in or- der to satisfy them several police were sent out with them. No other instance of the use of police on trucks during the day was reported. The numbers of union teamsters rein- stated in their positions yesterday by the larger firms are as follows: McNab & Smith 40, Farnsworth & Rug- gles 30, Stetson & Renner 22, Western ¥reight and Transfer Company 20, Mor- ton Drayage Company 10, Englander Bros. 10, G. W. Emmons 10, Cutter & Co. 9, Grove Ayers & Co. 9, Bocarde Drayage Company 10, M. Burns & Co. 6, J. 8. Ja- cobs Company 10, Overland Freight Trans- fer Company 30. The total number of teams in the city aggregates about 1200. With 500 teamsters given places yesterday and nearly 300 non- union men still employed, places for 400 more teamsters remain to be filled. Many of the larger firms sent the greater num- bers of their horses to the country at the beginning of the strike, and as soon as these are returned to the city: they will put on more men and run at their full capacity. Manager George Renner of the Dray- men's Association made the following statement yesterday: 1 am much sed with the outlook. The teamsters are satisfied with conditions such as they are, and are accepting them unhesita- tingly. 1 belleve that the peace will be a lasting one. Both sides have suffered greatly, but the hatchet is buried now, and confidence between the teamsters and draymen is again stored. Speaking for the draymen, I will y that they are willing to forget the past, and they look to the developments of . the future with confidence. Before a week has passed evervthing will be working smoothly again, and my greatest wish is that we have PRI ISR SN Y REMEMBER IN HOLY MASS THE CITY'S PATRON SAINT Franciscan Fathers Celebrate the An- niversary of the Feast of the Founder of the Order. The Franciscan fathers in charge of St. Anthony's Church yesterday celebrated the feast of St. Francls of Assissium, their founder, after whom the city of San Francisco is named. The date is in- timately connected with the history of San Francisco, for in 1776 the first church at the Presidio of San Francisco was ded- icated on the feast day. The services consisted of a solemn high mass and a sermon by Rev. Father Sesnon of San Rafael, who spoke in part as follows: It there were charity in our hearts, would { we have read of the assassination of our dear President? What led on to it? The want of charity and the love of our neighbor. Let us pray lo-day that good St. Francis will ask Almighty God for a censorship of the press so that we need not read of so much vituper- ation and_so much fighting and scandal. It seems as if when people have troubles to-day they rush to the press and think they can get their revenge that way. If the good St. Fran- cis were to appear on Market street to-day and on the water frong, he would say: *Go, boys, and make up. Look’ at the life of Him who died on the cross for us and try to make up and don't stain our beautiful town with sucn deeds as have taken place. Not violence, not vituperation, not calumny to arouse the pas- sions of men did St. Francls teach, but he taught them thé way to Almighty God. Let me say this: Oh, if we could only have a spark ¢ the love of Christ in our hearts, the love which filled the heart of St. Franeis, the world would be changed. Our beautiful city, which is the pride of the coast and of the United States, would then be a Christian and a perfect city because the reign of Christ would prevail. Christ would be known and loved and the enemies of men—the flesh and the devil—would be put down. Highly Honored by the Association. L. P. Bolander, president of the San Francisco Planing Mills Association, was tendered a banquet by members of the as- ;;)eialtlon last evening at the California otel. Bolander is credited with having ac- complished splendid work in adjusting the grievances between the association and the mill hands employed by them. Soon after the strike he used every effort to cause a better feeling to exist bétween employer and employe in this branch of industry and he succeeded to a marked degree. Andrew Wilkie acted as chairman at the banquet. During the repast Mr. Bolander was presented with a handsome silver ser- vice by the members of the association. McCabe-Colgan Suit on Trial. The suit of E. D. McCabe, formerly Buildjng and Loan Commissioner, to com- pel State Controller E. P. Colgan to issue a warrant for $66 35 as payment for ser- vices which McCabe “claimed he per- formed after bhis successor in office, Charles M. Shcrtridge, had been appoin ed, was heard before Judge Seawell yes- terday. It is practically a suit to deter- mine whether McCabe or Shortridge is en- titled to the Commissionership.

FREIGHT IS NOW MOVING ON BOTH SIDES OF BAY The Santa Fe Road and California Northwestern Report Materially Increased Earnings. The freight blockade of the Southern Pacific Company is being broken. One hundred freight cars were released from the Oakland yards yesterday and brought over to this side of the bay. The trans- portation officials stated that they expect that fully 200 cars will be released to-day and that hereafter the working of the freight department will go along without a hitch. The Santa Fe and the California and Northwestern railroads show splendid re- gor!s of thelr earnings for the months of uly and August. The gross earnings of the California and Northwestern for July and August was $215,993, an increase of $11,421 over the same period of the year before, Operating expenses and taxes were $125,409, an increase of $16,189. Net earnirgs amounted to $30,584, an increase of $4765. The surplus was $45,044, an in- crease of $4584. The Santa Fe road reports as follows: For the first two months of the present fiscal year, July and_ August, the gross earnings amounted to $9,704,572, an increase of $1,753,681 over the same two months of last year. Operating expenses were $5,642,045, an increase of $539,641. Net earn- ings amounted to $4,062,526, an increase ot $1,213,720. = after deducting taxes and rent- als the income from operating was $3,722,- 209, an increase of $1,201,616. LONGSHOREMEN IN LINE. Strike Leaders Pour Oil on Ruffled Waters. The strike leaders now believe that they have got all the water front unions in line with the terms of the settlement. The longshoremen met last night at the sailors’ headquarters on East street. From the dissatisfaction openly expressed by members of the union since peace was declared fears were entertained that this .organization would break away from the federation and the peace compact. Andrew Furuseth and Rev. Peter C. Yorke talked to the men at some length and succeeded in persuading them that the settlement was for their own best in- terests. When the meeting adjourned the men dispersed to their homes apparently well satisfied that within a week or so they would all be back at work again. With all the unions in line, the leaders now express themselves as confldent of a speedy return to the old conditions. Boiiges PILE-DRIVERS STILL OUT. Contractors Insist on Having Non- Union Foremen. The pile drivers and bridge builders who struck in sympathy -with the teamsters have so far refused to return to work. The contractors insist that the regular foremen shall not be members of the un- jon. They take the stand that as a fore- man is the direct representative of the employer it is not right that he should divide with any union the allegiance he owes the man he represents. So far the members of the union stand firm. The non-union men engaged dur- ing ‘the strike have proved satisfactory and none of the contractors are idle on account of the union’s stand. This mat- ter of the foreman is the only question in- volved. Wages and hours are up to union requirements and up to the time of the strike union labor was given the prefer- ence, SR O O’Farrell-Street Station Opened. The O'Farrell-street police station will be reopened this morning at 7 o’clock. This station was closed and the men de- tailed there were withdrawn at the time the strike was declared and were sent to guard trucks. Sergeant Perrin, who was in charge of the Seventeenth-street sta- tjon, has been sent back to the O'Farrell- street station with all of the men who were there prior to the strike.

FEW more union longshoremen went to work yesterday and quite a number of sailors were shipped on board coastwise ves- sels, but the men that walked out eleven weeks ago will have quite a little waiting to do before they find pay- day the regular and substantial institu- tion it was before the strike. For marine firemen there is little de- mand. The Pacific Coast Steamship Com- pany, with which the firemen broke their corntract, is the only line of any conse- quence that employed union firemen ex- clusively and for the present the Pacific Coast steamers are fully equipped in this respect. ' In addition to the union firemen now on the beach there is a number of firemen who, while not members of the union, were paid by the union to refrain from working during the strike. These men and the men at present employed will have equal chances with the union men for such vacancles as present them- selves. This condition of affairs and their in- ability to secure immediate work caused considerable uneasiness in the ranks of the union firemen. They called a meet- ing yesterday morning and it took all the persuasive powers of the strike leaders to induce them to keep faith with the terms of the settlement. The boarding houses established on the various docks will probably be abandoned by the end of the week. A number of un- ion men will probably be engaged upon application this morning to work at dis- charging the Umatilla. The = Mariposa, which arrives on the Sth, and the Ala- meda, which salls October 12, will afford openings for the return to work of a number of union men, There will also be work for some of them on the Pacific Mail dock during next week. Those union men that have gone to work have been given to understand clearly that no hazing of non-union laborers wiil be tolerated. The Pacific Coast Com- pany took back several union coal team- sters. All of them were told plainly that any interference, by act or word, with their non-union fellow workers would be considered cause for instant dismissal. C. A. McPhee, the lumber stevedore, yesterday discharged a union longshore- man for attempting to put a non-union man out of business with a plece of scant- ling. The union man, a big scantling in his hand, rushed across the wharf anf!n— stead of piling lumber in the proper place threw it with considerable violence to- ward where a non-union man was work- ing. The non-union man saved himself a broken leg by jumping. McPhee witness- ed the incident and discharged the union man on the spot. Andrew Furuseth said yvesterday that things were going as well as could be ex- pected; that quite a number of union sail- ors had been shipped, and that the pros- pects were good for finding work for all in a short time. TO RAISE THE BOYCOTT. Executive Committee of Labor Coun- cil Recommends That Course. The San Francisco Labor Council met in executive session last night and for several hours considered the report of the executive committee recommending the raising of the boycott previously declared on account of ‘conditions growing out of the strike. The recommendation met with some op- position by certain delegates, who advised that action be deferred until all the final arrangements in the matter of the settle- ment of the strike were completed. A motion to postpone action until the next meeting prevailed. Various reports of delegates tending to show that the local unions were in sym- pathy with the machinists in their strike for nine hours were received. The announcement was made that a pic- nic would be held at Shell Mound Park on October 20, the proceeds to be devoted to the machinists’ strike fund. Christmas Holidays in Mexico.

Wil- son Leaves Judge Lawlor’s Courtroom a Free Man. Patrick Clancy, special officer, was ac- quitted by a jury in Judge Lawlor's court yesterday on the charge of murder for shooting and killing Attorney J. N. E. Wilson in his office, 320 Sansome street, May 27 last. The case was given to the jurors shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and six hours later they re- turned to the courtroom with the verdict. Clancy's daughter, who was sitting be- side him, threw her arms around his neck and passionately kissed him when the ver- dict was announced. Clancy left the courtroom soon after- ward with his daughter and brother. The verdict was a complete surprise to the District Attorney’s office and was ac- counted for on the ground of the dead at- torney’'s bad reputation. The jurors were: Thomas G. Taylor, C. Hazelrigg, Paul Girsch, Julius Radston, Edmund Kallafrath, Alfred Auerbach, W. C. Mysell, Paul Franke, James Humph- rey, Charles Bloomer, John A. Whiteside and Charles W.

The Grand Jury began an investigation yesterday into a series of frauds alleged to have been committed at the primary election. Witnesses were examined to as- certain if Edward F. Botteron had voted twice in the Thirtieth gcneral precinct of the Thirty-third Assembly District. The testimony developed that the name of Ed- ward F. Botteron was signed twice to the roster of voters who had cast their bal- lots, and an attempt was made to prove that Botteron had signed his own name in the two instances. The investigation was not concluded when the Grand Jury adjourned. ‘ The Grand Jury also had under inves- tigation the case of L. L. Nott, a striker, who was arrested for taking a star from a speclal policeman. ————— Divorce Proceedings. The following suits for divorce were filed yesterday: Frederick H. Brown from Lavine Grace Brown, cruelty; Emilie Olschefski from _Frederick Olschefski, cruelty; Peter J. Kernan from Annie St. V. de P.

LANDLORD HENRY ASK3 LEGAL AID Warrant Out for Arrest of Woman and Real Estate Man. —_— C. F. Henry, who until a few days ago was the proprietor of the Audubon Hotel at 1105 Hyde street, secured a warrant from Judge Fritz yesterday for the ar- rest of Mrs. Minnie Leslie, alias Ellis, allas Henry, and Henry F. Kredo, real estate agent in the Flood building, on the charge of felony embezzlement. It is al- leged that the woman and Kredo have | left the city together and Detective Cody has been detailed by Captain Seymour to discover their whereabouts. g The woman was employed as house- keeper by Henry and called herself Mrs. Henry. Henry left for a trip Bast Sep- tember 5, and as he wanted to sell out he placed the matter in Kredo's hands, fix-| ing his price at $4500. He had asked that | sum from Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert, who came | from the country, and Wwere anxious to | purchase. | Henry returned from the East last Wed- | nesday and found Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert | in possession of the hotel. They explain- ed that last Saturday they bought the premises through Kredo from Mrs. Henry, who alleged that she was Henry's wife, for $3500. Henry made an investigation and discovered that the woman and her two children left the hotel early Sunday morning and that Kredo disappeared at the same time. Henry declares that the woman had no authority whatever to seil the property and will commence a civil suit to-day to recover it. The loss will fall upon Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert, who are innocent dupes of the woman and Kredo. FATHER ORKE CANNOT SAVE | Y HEARST.
