The storm extended over Eastern Washington | and Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Western Colorado, Utah and Northern | New Mexico. The storm was accompanied by but lit- tle wind and no serious delays to trains are reported.

SAN JOSE, March 14—After several vears’ anxiety, the creditors of Paul Mar- ston, who for a time was considered on2 of the “swiftest” young men of San Jose, liave been approached by an agent of the latter with a view of effecting a settle- ment of their claims. Marston is now liv- ing i San Francisco. s Some years ago while Marston was yet in his minority his grandmother died in Maine, leaving him a fortune of about 3400,000. Litigation arose over the prop- erty and Attorney H. V. Morehouse was engaged by Marston as counsel. More- house won the suit, and then brought an | action against Marston for his fee, tying up the estate. | The tying up of the estate brought a | financial crash in the Marstons’ domain. | Creditors attached the furniture and cart- | ed it away. Many suits were brought and | attorn: were sent back to Maine to see if Marston’s estate could not be levied upon, but Morehouse had got ahead of them., . C. Collins of the lumber firm of Hig- gins & Coilins of San Francisco was here to-day tryifig to arrange a se({lemem with a number of Marston’s creditors. It 1s understood Marston agrees to pay ail | claims _if the bills are_di$counted 25 per i cent. It is understood 75 per cent will be paid at once if the creditors agree to ac- | cept it. 'If they do mot accept, they will have to await the outcome of the More- | house suit against Marston. Collins is id to have seen creditors representing 1 $i4,000 in claims. Some have agreed to the | terms, while others want time to consider. | e FALLS AN EASY VICTIM | TO A TRIO OF THIEVES ‘San Jose Storekeeper’s Till Robbed While His Attention Is Diverted. SAN JOSE, March 14—Henry C. Mar- | tin, who conducts a stationery store at 196 South First street, fell a victim to a trio of thieves this morning, who emptied his till, taking $20, all there was in it. | Soon after Martin opened the store this morning a man entered and purchased a writing pad, tendering a $20 piece in pay- ment. . Martin gave him the requsite change, placing the gold piece in the till. A little later two confederates of the man came along. One took Martin to a show window to point out a book that he wanted. While doing so customer No. 1 returned and entered the store. The third of the trio then appeared and called Mar- tin out to the edge of the sidewalk to ask him_the location of some business house. During this time No. 1 robbed the. till. When Martin entered the store he saw the man coming from behind the counter and when asked what he was do- ing there he said he was looking for a paper. All three men then left the store and when Martin went to the till he found it empty. The police were notified, but the men were not caught. DEALER IN MEAT FALLS HEIR TO GREAT WEALTH Rossland Man Profits by Settlement * of a Claim Against Sleeping- Car Company. VANCOUVER, B. C., March 14.—Julius ‘Wagner, a butcher of Rossland, has fall- en into a great fortune. Together with his mother, sister and brother he will divide $2,700,000 in cash and $1,000,000 in the shares of the Pullman-Wagner Palace Car Company. The first installment will be distributed on May 1. Many years ago Julius Wagner, father of the Rossland man, put $20,000 into the Wagner Palace Car Company, which was then in its experimental stage. For this sum he received notes and other securi- ties, but at no time did he realize any returns from the investment. After the father's death members of the family at- tempted to recover something from the Wagner Car Company, but the company fought vigorously and the case dragged on in various courts. For fifteen years the battle has continued. The Wagner family found the backing necessary to press its clalm to the utmost and this week a settlement was arranged.

Syrup of Figs is not built on those lines. It aets naturally, acts effectively, cleanses, sweetens and strengthens " the internal organs and leaves them in a healthy condition. If In need of a laxative remedy the most excellent is Syrup of Figs, but ‘when mxyth‘mg more than a laxative is required the safe and scientific plan is to consult a competent physician and not to r&t{n to those medicines which claim to cure all manner of diseases. The California I'ig Syrup Co. was the first to menufacture a laxative remedy which would give satisfaction to all; a laxative which physicians could sanction and one friend recommend to another ; so that today its sales probably exceed all other laxatives combined. In some places considerable quantities of old-time cathartics and modern imitations are still sold, but with the general n of knowledge, as to the best medicinal agents, Syrup of Figs has come into general use with the well-informed, becauso it is a remedy of known value The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellent combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants, known to act most beneflcially on the system, with agreeable and refreshing aromatic liquids, but also to the In order to get the genuine and its beneficial effccts one should always note the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of cvery package. EIGER TO ENTER IGNEWS ASHLUM Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA CLARA, March 14.—Watts Thompson, who claims to be a nephew of Millionaire Leiter of Chicago, to-day ap- plied for admission to the State Hospital for the Insane at Agnews. His application was refused. Thompson s that his mother and Mrs. Levi Leiter are sisters. His troubles began when his cousin, Joseph Leiter, made his famous deal in wheat on Decem- ber 3, 1897. Thompson was aware of the plans of young Leiter and interfered by disclosing information which caused Lei- ter's ruin. In retaliation, he alleges, he was forcibly taken and conveyed to_ the insane asylum in Kankakee, Ill., where he remained six and a half months. Hav-' ing. as he claims, convinced the managers of the asylum that he was entitled to freedom, he was sent to another asylum at Dearborn, Mich. Later he was re- turned to Kankakee for two months. He was then sent to an asylum in Flint, Gen- essee County, Mich., where he was exam- ined and declared to be sane. Thompson frankly admits that he previously had been declared insane by four physicians and numerous asylum managers. After his discharge from ¥lint he was placed in various private asylums, where, he alleges, he Wwas treated inhumanly. His feet were scalded, he was beaten by bru- tal guards and tied in a bed for three days without attention of any sort. He says that the treatment he received was enough to make a man crazy, though he were as wise as Solomon. He went from one to another of these private institu- tions until he came to California. Thompson arrived here last September from Chicago, in company with R. P. Cross of the Chicago firm of Patterson & Cross, fruit brokers. For a time they were engaged in putting up prunes in one-pound packages for shipment East. After a few weeks Cross refused to longer employ Thompson and the latter went to Los Arngeles. He remained there until a few weeks ago. Since coming here he has been in a private sanitarfum. While in Los Angeles he was in a private sanita- rium, which he was induced to enter by his brother, Payson Thompson, a real es- tate dealer at 47 Borden block, corner Dearborn and Randolph streets, Chicago. Thompson's attempt to gain admission to the asylum here to-day was due, hc says, to the fact that he had made up his mind that if he were to be hunted wher- ever he went and confined in asylums ‘where he was inhumanly treated he would seek a place that he liked and ask to be admitted. * Thompson uYu his neog,la in Chicago keep him supplied with funds. He has $400 on deposit In a Los Angeles bank and §$100 in San Jose. He had considerabie money with him to-day and offered to pay liberally any person who would swear to a col in order that he might be entered as a pa- tient at Agnews. The young man is a ’oad looking, strongly bullt fellow and is ressed in comfortable, well-fitting gar- mente. As he walked away after telling his atolay. he remarked: ‘“Well, I suppose I better keep on wandering over the world with this dead weight of insan- ity hampering me at every step. Wher- ever I go it is impossible for me to escape for any length of time the Influence that is making my life unbearable.” Thompson is staying at a private sani- tarium on the Alameda, between Santa Clara and San Jose. be married in April to R. E. Trengrove of Alaska. Miss Lynn is a teacher in the San Luis Obispo schools and the prospect- ive groom is cashier of the Bank of Cape Nome. Edmund R.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 14.— Funeral services over the body of Percy E. Nichols, '04, the athlete, who died on Wednesday, were held in the large club- room of Encina Hall this afternoon. They were simple, but impressive, and were attended by a large number of students, instructors and other friends of the de- ceased collegian. A quartet of students opened the services with a hymn, which was followed by a reading of Scriptures and prayer by Professor Show. louble coluran of 400 students preceded the hearse to “God's acre” in the arboretum, where the remains were interred. » it e it Artist’s Wife Near to Death.

SEATTLE, March 14.—George Horner's fllustrated rebus did not save him to-day from conviction in Colfax on the charge of perjury. Some time ago he made aff- davit before the County Auditor that Miss Mary Spray was ‘‘over 13, and thus se- cured a license for her to marry his prother-in-law, J. N. Keeney. "Miss Spray’s father had Horner arrested on a cgarge of perjury. His defense was that the girl was ‘‘over 18, because he had cut the figures “18” in her shoes. - It took.the jury only ten minutes to de- cide that Horner's illustrated rebus was out of order.

On the other hand some of the conferees representing the element opposed to the Ways and Means Committee stated that while an amicable adjustment undoubted- ly would be reached there would be no consent to any plan involving a reduction of tariff. Representative Fordney of Michigan, one of the conferees, takes this view, and has favored the conference plan by which there should be 20 per cent reduction of the Cuban duties on goeds going into Cuba and in return the payment to Cuba out of the United States treasury of an amount equal to 20 per cent of the duties on Cuban goods coming here. Fordney holds that this will give the desired relief without involving a reduction of duty. The plan is somewhat similar to the re- bate proposition heretofore presented, ex- cept that this payment is to go direct to the Cuban Government instead of the planters. The conferees continued their discussion this afternoon. The conference lasted from 2 until 5 p. m. and at its close Chairman Payne, who had been delegated by both sides to give out a statement, saild that after further consideration of the subject the conferees had come to no conclusion and had adjourned until 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. It is understood that much of the time was given to an argument by Morris of Minnesota on the constitutionality of a rebate. Individually the members, after the meeting, sald that the prospects for an agreement were good, but that the form of the agreement was still in doubt, no one plan yet having shown its advant- age over the others. No votés were taken at the meeting to-day. CONSTITUTION SITSFES THEM Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. ‘W., WASHINGTON, March 14.—There is small prospect for the passage of the House resolution providing for the elee- tion of Senators by direct vote of the people. The Republican leaders in the Senate have set their faces against any change in the constitution relative to the election of Senators. Those who are interested in this subject in the Senate could not help being amused at an occurrence to-day in this connection. While Willlam J. Bryan was in the Senate lobby, talking to certain Senators in favor of the resolution, Sen- ator Penrose introduced an amendment to the resolution which virtually kills it so_far as this session is concerned. Just outside of the glass door, which separates the Senate chamber from the lobby, stood Bryan with his hand on the shoulder of Senator Bate of Tennessee, pleading with him to support the resolu- tion. On the other side of the glass door, within the Senate chamber, stood Senator Penrose propounding an amendment cal- culated to make the pending resolution so_obnoxious that it mav not have con- sideration this Session. If Senator Pen- rose’s amendment should be accepted it would provide for a complete alteration of the constitution and convert the Sen- aite into a second House of Representa- tives. In substance it provides that each State shall have not less than two Senators and one additional Senator for every addi- tional ratio _of people. - Under its provisions New York would have about twelve Senators, Pennsylvania ten and several bther States would have more than six each. Those who hava given serious consider- ation to the subject do not anticipate any action that wil change the constitution relative to the election of Senators during the present Congress.
