J. Morgan Smith, nephew of J. Pierpont | Morgan, had a short and inglorious voy- | age yesterday as the guest of Uncle Sam | on the transport Meade. He went aboard | at an early hour, with an ofler's cap cov- { ering Pbis “gilt roof,” confident that his | Gisguise was complete and that his ! scheme for free passage te Manila would | not iiscarry. At 2 o'clock he was hus- | tled unceremoniously aboard the tug | Slocum and sent back to grace his old haunts in the tenderloin. Smith has lately longed for pastures new, Possibly the innocence of young *Jimmy’ | Crowther, the Kobe bank clerk, who joy- ously took from him a bogus check and was willing to “run a mile” to give him change in good gold, fired his ambition to be near the fount of such good things. At any rate he conceived the idea of & ing to Manila at the Government’s eX- pense. First he tried to borrow a soi- dier's vniform, but did not succeed. ‘He found a soldier, however, who was willing to carry his sack of baggage aboard. Early yesterday morning Smitn, in all the glory of a spick and span new suit, white shirt and collar and butterfly tle, but with a little black oiler's cap drawn over his tiery locks, marched up the gangplank of the transport, 2 When the transport steamed out into the stream Smith thought he was safe. | | But .alas for his plans the belated pas- | sengers in quarantine at Angel Island | | had to be taken aboard, and during that | delay suspicion grew that the stranger ! was not really an engineer, although he had sald he was with the air ‘that has | carried him through many a ticklish situ- ation. | As 'the last of the passengers came | aboard the round-up for stowaways be- | 8an.

CUTTER of Yuba, secretary of the Republican State Central Committee, is in the city. Cutter is a candidate for Governor and is supported by ac- tive influences in Northern California. In the campaign of 1898 the Yuba Senator was an ardent supporter of Henry T. Gage. Throughout the long Senatorial islature Cuttér was recognized. as leader of the Grant forces. It was noted hostility of Governor Gage, although he was vigilant and successtul in his efforts to defeat the hoss bill to place all the pa- tronage ‘of the San Francisco Harbor Commission into the hands of the “organ- ization.”” During the last session of the Legislature Cutter stood in with'the ad- ministration, but since the adjournment | of the Legislature something has hap- pened to diminish the Senator’s confidence The, indications are that | the Yuba and Sutter delegations. to the | next Republican State Convention will. be | firmly aligned against the renomination of Gage. It is remarked also that Judge E. C. Hart of. Sacramento, the prede- cessor of Cuttersin the position of secre- tary of the Republican State Committee, is not sounding the praises of Gage. Moreover it is observed that Frank Mc- Laughiin, who was chairman of the Re- pubiican State Committee the year that Gage was discovered and elected, is not throwing Louquets at the executive of th.s commonwealth, Desertions From Gage Camp. If the desertions continue it will not be long before the administration team wiil consist only of Burns, Herrin and Gage. It is true that John Lynch and Johnny Mackenzie are counted on to do some hara pulling for Gage, but they are lkely to balk when tney und toe l-a1 to) heavy. Mose Gunst 1s_relied on (o lend a puil, but he has a sharp nose for a loser and can readily change his base by getting buck into the “'other party,” from which he was recently recruited. Interested spectators of the combat in the Republican ranks note that the bosses are staggering from the force of a few preliminary cuffs from the independent press. What will happen to the machine when the real hammering begins in the country can be conjectured. Gage, how- ever, i recelving some newspaper sup- port, The Acton Rooster and tne Kvening Post are “doing noble.” Prominent Public Men Visiting Here. | Ex-Senator E. C. Voorhies of Sutter] Creek is among the public men of the State in the city, - He represented the counties of Alpine, Amador, Calaveras and Mono in the State Senate during the Twenty-ninth, Thirtieth, Thirty-first and Thirty-second sessions of the Legislature. His masterly grasp of affairs as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee really brought about the era of low taxes in this State. His successor in the Senate, John F. Davis of Jackson, is in town. Davis is lawyer, statesman and author. He con- tributed to the ‘‘History of the Bench and Bar of California” a *‘Historical Sketch of Mining Law in California.” Recently he obtained permission of the publishers to reprint the sketch. The reproduction covers eighty-three pages and deals with topics of great interest to miners. Judge Davis'is justly regarded throughout the State as one of the ablest legislators and one of the best debaters that ever occu- pled a chalr in the Senate. Assemblyman Dunlap of San Joaquin, who stood shoul- der to shoulder with Davis in supporting Irving M. Scott for United States Senator, was in San Francisco yesterday.

German-American Club Elects Delegates to League Convention AT e CLERK'S ENTRIES IRE MUTILATED Attorney Hoe fller Makes Important Dis- coveries. Papars in Arthur Waters’ Es- tate Are Tampered ‘With. ~Who altered the records of the probate proceedings in the estate of Arthur ‘Waters? is the question that is now agi- tating . the minds of County Clerk Ma- hony, Judge Coffey and Louis Hoeffler, attorney for a nephew and niece of the de- ceased liveryman. The question was asked time and again yesterday by the inter- ested parties, but it is still unanswered. The alterations, for- there is no doubt that the records have been tampered with, were so bunglingly executed that they are easily discerned. So noticeable are they, in fact, that they show that whoever changed the dates and figures in question knew little of the law. Entries in record books in the County Clerk’s office have been changed in such a crude manner that even persons not versed in such records can detect the alterations, but the dates and figures in the original document have not been altered to conform. Though the alterations themselves are not of importance, the investigation which followed their discovery developed a state of affairs which means a great deal for a number of people. The interested parties are a sister, a niece and & nephew of Waters, and a brother aud sister of the widow, lately deceased. Waters Left Large Estate. About ten years ago Arthur Waters, a liveryman, died intestate in this city, leav- ing an estate estimated to be worth $100,000. The widow asked the court to ap- point Charles C. Pennell and J. 'T. Grant administrators of the estate. They were appointed, and when the probate proceed- ings were heard by Judge Coffey the widow swore that her husband -had no relatives living, and therefore she was the sole heir. The property was ordered distributed to her .on January.5, 1894, and the estate was settled forthwith. A short-time after the decree of distri- bution had been made by Judge Coffey, John J. Enright, a lawyer of Vermont, ap- | peared in this city and announced himself as the legal representative of Margaret Mulcahey, a sister of Waters, and Cath- erine A. Wood and Johd Wood, niece and nephew of the deceased liveryman. En- right's clients were entitled to one-fourth of the estate and he brought suit to have that much of the property declared a trust for their benefit, alleging fraud as a basis for his suit. The case was tried before Judge Troutt, who, holding that the distribution ordered by Judge Coffey was final, granted a mo- tion for a non-suit made by the defend- ants. The case was appealed, and Troutt's decision was sustained. Mrs. Waters Dies. Double-face. Liberty Satin . -> Ribbon~25c¢. Worth J0c. As heavy, perfect and beawtiful as ever. Not an off shade either.

It was this worldly wom- an, as the center of feminine Enough Court, who conceived the idea of lines in dress and hat. She made the style and swing and exquisite. tailoring the style of a garment rather than the fix- ings and trimmings. So it is that the most charming outfits are plain, yet there’s a depth of beauty to them that’s more subtle and fascinating than the elaborate garniture-covered ones.

To do that a master has taken the seem- ingly hard stiff lines, rolled the brims a trifle, bent down the fronts and backs, laid wreaths of flowers or grapes on the tops, soitened the outlines with a bit of lace or ribbon that comes aroundand falls in back, and there you are. Simple but exquisite creations. And how becoming they are (hats this spring seem to make the women look prettier than ever). But they are not all line hats.

This is contrary to law, which provides that the papers shall be filed together. - Hoeffler let the matter rest until Jas Monday, when he again went over the books. Much to his surprise he found the entry of December 8 had been changed to December 9, after his previous visit, and in a very clumsy manner. The attorney wrote to Judge Coffey, telling him of his discoveries and yester- day a further search was made. The books used by J. B. Sherrard, clerk to Judge Coffey in 1893-94 were brought out and the alterations were at once apparent. Clerk’s Entries Expose Fraud. Sherrard’s entries showed that the pe- tition for a decree of distribution had not been filed until December 9, one day after the filing of the final account. Hoeffler at once petitioned for a new decree of distri- bution, claiming that the one issued In 1594 was void, because the petition for dis- tribution had not been filed with the an- nual account. Probate Clerk Edward Casey by Hoeffler. €asey said he had issued a certified copy of the records on March 12, but could not say to whom. This docu- ment, which was made after the da.tas} had been changed, was filed by H. Dow, | a brother of Mrs. Waters, with the Re- corder. The attorneys for Dow and Mrs. Hines are Henry M.
