Food for Athletes Rebuilds Brain and Muscle A young athlete, commenting on the need of well-selected food to build up a man after over-study, says “Two years ago I returned home from the university with my health quite run down from over-study and severe ath- letic training. I needed a good rest to put me right; but instead of taking it, went to work in an office with very confining duties. My health grew no better; I feit un- fit for work, and at night would lie awake several hours before sleep would come. The appetite was gone entirely. One morning a new dish ap- peared on the table, Grape-Nuts with cream. We all thought it an excellent food, and I not only enjoyed breakfast that day, but dinner and supper as well “This rather surprised me. Since that 1 have made the food & regular “article of diet. I keep a box on hand at the office and often lunch on Grape- Nuts and cream instead of going home to dinner. “Although it was in the summer when I started the use of the food, it was not long before I had gained 15 poynde, and 1 know it is from the use of this food that I can stand so well the indeor work.

Some delay was occasioned in turning in an alarm, and the fire department did not arrive until the roof had fallen in and the house next door, that of J. Sholte, at 2227 Grant streot, was on fire. Only one stream was available, and with this the volunteer firemen saved the Sholte resi- dence after it had received a severe ex- terfor scorching. The roof of Willlam Lyons' house qn Mary street was ignited by sparks in several places, but the place was geved. MacDonald’s Loss Complete. The MacDonald heme wes owned by Charles Lundean. of San Francisco and s valued at about $2500.

T ] PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR WINS IMPORTANT SUIT The Suprerie Ceurt decided vesterday that the Public Administrator instead of the appointee of the brothers was .en- titled to letters of administration in the estate of Naomi Wakefield, who perished with her mother in the Rio de Janeiro disaster.. . The brothers ¢f the dead girl selected Ruth Miller for administratrix and the Public Adminfstrator brought suit.. He contended that the Wakefieids did not succeed to the property. The law estab- lishes his ground that the daughter died firet. Her property then reverted to the- mother, e latter.died testate and the twe sons are the beneficidries of her will. The ‘court upholds this contention, de- claring authoritatively that the brothers do not succeed to their sister's estate.- The Public Administrator is therefore granted the letters of administration.

Mrs. Lavelle comforted her and dressed her burned face and hands. She also cared for the MacDonald children until thetr parents arrived and then they and_their | rescuer were taken to the McClellan home. None of the children were burned. The baby's face was rressed to the girl's drezs when she carried it through the flames and its tender flesh was thus kept from the heat, The heroine of the fire is the daughter of James Canipbell of California street, this eity. She has been employed at Mac- Donaldis in the care of the children for some time. Although painfully burned, her wounds are not severe enough to. leave scars.

ENQUIRER FIGHT ~ N TO A FINGH Battle Is Renewed With Increased Vehemencs by Litigants. | Efforts to Ccmpel Daniels to * Answer Questions Will Be Made. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, March 21. The Enquirer trouble broke out afresh i to-day in Superior and Justice courts, and 4 the long calm that has surrounded this sénsational litigation is apparently to be followed by a storm tnat will be worse than the first one. The developments of thé @ay wede the efforts of Charles E. /| Snogk, representing Henry P. Dalton, G. 3. Daniels and the majority directors of the Enquirer Publishing Company to have Edward Collins finally settled; and the =erving ot the notice by Herry Ach that he would have the depositions of G. B. Danfels taken before Justice of the Peace Stetson on Wednesday aftermoon next. It is expected by this move that Mr. Dan- fels will be compelied to answer before the Justice of the Peacc the questions that ‘he refused to answer before the Court Commissioner. These moves have renewed the battle with double force and give indication that the comtest is tv be forced to the bitter finish thut was promised when the liti- gation was : begun. » It indicates, all rumors of a’compromise to the contrary rotwithstanding, that Mr. Collins is to bring to a heag and a trial his demand for an accounfing from his feilow stock- holders in . the newspaper, no matter whether these stgckhciders be only G. B. Daniels or Dr. George C. Pardee and Henry P. Dalkon. Rumors of Compromise. These rumors of a compromise have ing abont Oaxland - very ps sistentiy uuramg the recent lull in the pr ceedings, ara - (hey. have not been with out . foundation. . ‘Lhere have been meet- ings between, Dr. George C. Pardee and 1. Edwdrd Uelkns, in which Dr. Pardee suggested to Mr. Collms, only as one in- Airectly Inferested im- the paper, that it would ve we:l to settle the Mugation. Dr. Pardee, having denied a preprieiary but admitted an” indorser’s inierest, appeared berors Mr. Collius ‘oniy. in the latter ca- pacity. -/The suggestions for peace were mgt with thé ‘stiitement by Mr. Collins that.-he coéuld only aceept what was de- manded . in his complaint, but that if a rale of -the- stock was to made, an sgreed ‘price might be fixed from which could be deatcted the amount of damages 1o be awarded as an outcome of the pend- ing suit. it is probable that the rumors of the ecmpromise came from: Some slight knowledge of these meetings, and as the progress of this suit 4§ bemng watched wit the greatest inter.. in Vakland, it was caught up and passid on until it be- | came the story of a compromise pending. "Then came -he big loan that Dr. Pardee sécured trom the Uakland Bank of Sav< ngs. This money was secured during the 1yme that the compromise rumors were W flying. about and it ‘added more rumors to [ those already in the air. Z Daniels Paid Central Bank Note. There were those who saw in this lcan | \he securing of money” by Dr. GeorgedC. Pardee: for the purpose of taking into his wn_bands the paper which he was carry- \ing by his indorsement.upon. the note of .G, B. Daniels. Dr. Pardee has not ‘iaken the paper inta bfs own hands and he hes not put himself.ofiy, more in evi- dence in the affairs otithe Enguirer than be was: betore. He. parchased the paper for G. B. Danlels without mentioning els’ name as the.real purchaser, as e told in his deposition before Court Commissioner-Babcock; and he has talked with D."Edward Collins tn-much the same way—ag’ a friend of the 'court, or the editor. ‘Wheén thé note at the Central Bank was paid off it was done by G. B. Daniels, who hapmded over a cartificate of deposit cn a San Francisco bank, so that there was apparently no connecticn between the $113,500 loan secured by Dr. Pardee and the payment of the nquirer-Dan- iels’ note at_the Central Bank the very next day. What has become of the stock that was taken out of the Central Bank, is not kngwn. ‘The Oakland Bank of Sav- ings got good real estate for its security and took no newspaper stock, but it is Selieved that somebody holds the stock merefy as security for a note given by G. B. Daniels. Who that somebody is will probably be asked of G. B. Daniels when he appears before Justice of the Peace Stetson on Wednesday next. ‘What Has Become of That $117,5002 What has become of theé §117,500 that Dr. Pardee secured,is a matter of speculation by those who have watched the progress of this falling out between the partners n the newspuper business. It is alsg a matter of private busimess, but when there is a lot of MNtigation pending and when there is a fight for Governor on hand to which this private business seems | to apply the people who buy newspapers | ana who malke Governors are given to i speculation. 1t is said that Dr. Pardee had a note in the Oaklapnd Bank of Sav- ings that amounted to some $50,000, rep- resenting what he had berrowed for his own uses. There is also s: to be in the same bank a note for §10,000 given by Henry P. Dalton, representing the amount of money ‘spent in Dalton’s endeavor io beat Victor H. Metcalf for Congress. ‘hose who have been tiguring substract $50,000 from the $117,5% and wonder {f the balance, amounting to $67,500, is to be a campalgn fund. But there are those who doubt this they say that the bal- ance must have something to do in some way with the $55,000 note of the Enquirer, particularly as that note was paid the yvery next day. Those who figure in the 55.3“1 Engquirer note add it to the 350.000, making $105,000 out of the $117,509. This Wouid still leave $12500 for a campaign fund, or it might be applied to the Dalton note, and they figure that if the iatter .were the case the campaign fund would be very smail, Theére have been business and financial rumors surrounding this peculiar litiga- tion, also political rumors that bave been agitating Alameda County. Some of Dr. ardee’s political friends in his home county have urged him.and his friends, Daniels and Dalton, to settle the case without any more publicity than has al- ready- been had. me of these friends who have beén so urging are not candi- dates for office, but some of them are, and there are fears on the part of some of them thdt a trial might affect the campaign for Governor in this county and there are- fears on the part of others that the threatemed trial might injure some local aspirants for county offices. So when the battle was renewed to- aay by both sides at once the onlookery began to hold their breath and wonde what was coming next. Some of the loc:d candidates for cffice are taking to the'w bombproofs in the fear that they might be struck by & flylng shell, and this {s ' making the campaign in Alameda County very backward this spring. Collins Assumes Aggressive. Henry Ach, who represents Mr. Collins, the plaintiff, assumed the ageressive again and has declared that he will have another round or two with Mr. Daniels before City Justice Stetson. *It is hoped that the Justice of the Peace will have the.power to foree answers from the gen- eral manager of the paper and .prevent him from walking out of the room as he did before. Charles E. Snook, who rep- resents most of the defendants, says that "the Justice of the -Peace has nct more - power than a noiary and that he derives Bis power to take depositions from the same sectlon of the code that a notary or_a Court Commissioner does. When this move of Henry Ach was made Charles E. Snook went before Judge Ogden. in whose court the MHtigation is pending, -and called the attention of the court to, this new. move and asked thal a decision be given at once upon his de- murrer to Mr. Collins’ complaint in order to_prevent his client, Mr. Daniels, from belng taken before sp many different of- e Mr. Snook called the attention of _the court to the facts that the attorneys for the plaintiff had not filed their hrief upon the demurrer, that thev had been granted several extensions and he wanted a Aecision handed down at once, | _J.

Will Expend a Large Sum in Expanding the Property. LOS ANGELES, , March 2L—United States Senator W. A. Clark has acquired control of the Los Angeles Traction Com- | pany and he is prepared to expend a idrge sum to be used in expanding the pryperty. 'Thomas Gibbon _arrived t0“gay from Wasnington, where he west for the purpose of corsummating the deal between Senator Clark and the Hooks. ‘When Gibbon departed for the national capital he carried the documents neces- | sary to compiete the trausrer. These pa- | pers, signed, sealed and delivered, ne | brought with him ¥n his return trip. Gibbon was loth to regarding the new hance further than t Clark now is interested in the Traction Company and as soon as the necessary franchises aré obtained the Hook system will be enlarged and brought down to date. Local hines are to be perfected in all parts of the city and an interurban system is to be constructed. The eéxtent of Senator Clark’s holdings in the Trac- | tion system Gibbon declined to diseuss, | 'except to confirm that the Semator is in { the enterprise and he already has spent a | large amount of money in his new deal. *“Those acquainted with Senator Clark know he does not take the little end in any business venture,” remarked Gibben. Discussing the San Franeisco story that fogmer differences have arisen again be- twéen the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad and the Harriman syndicate incidental to Jjoint surveys through Nevada Gibbon said: “Both -parties in the Issue signed con- tracts-in January in which it was agreed whenever a disagreement might arise the services of Virgil Bogue, an eminent en- | gineer of New York, should be obtained | as arbitrator. One point along the route | of both lines is in question and Bogue may be aopealed to in that particular in- stance. Further than that there is no dispute of any sort. It is not true the issue has been withdrawn from the legal department of the interests affected. intp de s fon-Clark al- admit that Senator CASHIER MUST COME FROM THE CIVIL SERVICE LIST City. Attorney Lane filed an opinian yes- terday in reply to a question of the Board | of Supervisors “whether or not the ¢aar | ter gives the board, upon recommenda- | tion of the Mayor, the power to create | the position of cashier of the license de- partment of the Tax Coilector's office, and if such power is given, must the ap- pointment be made from the civil service | i list.”* ‘The attorney says: | My opinion is that whenever the Mayor chall recommend to the Supervicors that they authorize the appointment of an additional employe in any department, the Supervis by an affimative vote of fourteen meml may authorize such appointment.
