Sigmund Greenebaum, manager of the London, Paris and American Bank, ap- peared before Judge Troutt yesterday i support of his application for letters of administration upon the estate of the late Jose Guardiola, the Guatemalan, who died at Paris recently, leaving an estate worth $25,000,000. Public Administrator John aiso seeks the appointment of adminis- trator on the ground that the copy of the will of the deceased on file here is not properly authenticated. Greenebaum has been requested by Ro- sarfo Guardiola, the widow of the Guate- malan, to care for the property owned by the deceased in this State, amounting to about_$800,000, and he backs his petition by a letter from Mrs. Guardiola contain- | ing the request. The entire day was spent | in an effort to prove the authenticity of the certified copy of a will left by Guardi- | oia in the hands of Lazard Freres; the | famcus French banking house. The'| dcposition of one of the firm was read, as was also that of the widow. In both | documents the correctness of the au- | thenticated copy of the will was sworn to. The matter will be heard again to | day. = S B " ADVERTISEMENTS. | Buying 2 piano isn't like buying a sack of sugar; it’s like buying a house to live in.

HOMBOLDT BOSS 15 RECOGNIZED Emerson of Eureka Slat- ed to Succeed Ex- pert Parker. Fairy Tales Told to Harriman by Sympathizers of Herrin. w i b T In order to strengthen the boss machine in Humboldt County Governor Gage has allowed J. C. Bull to name the successor of Walter Parker, expert of the State Beard of Examiners. Bull has recom- mended for the position Accountant Em- erson of Eureka. Bull has a hard battle on his hands and needs help in his fight to bring down a Gage delegation from that county. Emerson’s appointment to succeed Parker will probably be an- nounced to-day. The salary attaching to the position is $2000 per annum, and the allclwsnce for traveling expenses is lib- eral. While in San Francisco E. H. Harri- man, president of the Southern Pacific, made several inquirles touching the railroad company's interest in political affairs. It is definitely known that he ex- pressed a desire that the company should not take an active part in politics. All| scrts of storles were told to him to ac- | count for the railroad’s past activity In| the political fleld and to justify the pres- ent attitude of the law department of the corporation. The “agreed story” told by those who are anxious to protect Herrin represented that the people want- ed the company to take an active part in public affairs. It was said that wicked | bosses such as Buckley, Crimmins and | Kelly had dominated both partles and piundered the people before the railroad | company stepped in to protect the com- | n of Herrin, put the ringsters of both rties out of business and thus protect- ed the taxpayers. Nothing, of course, was sald of the time consumed and the money expended by the raiiroad managers in the vain effort to elect D. M. Burns to the United States Senate, and no reference was made { | | | i Crimmins and Kelly, who were slain by the beamish boy of the law departmentand then took the narrative under advise- ment. It is the impression that the poltical besses attached to the Southern Paeifie will hear from President Harriman be¥o, the present gubernatorial campaign 1s many weeks older. The President took note of the situation here and doubtless | perceived that the company might place itself In a very unfortunate positfon if {ts prestige and power were further used to bolster up the failing fortunes of an un- popular candidate for Governor. The shadow of impending disaster hangs over the boss camp. The chief strength of the Gage machine is the Southern Pacific Company’s supposed backing. When the president makes the declaration clear and positive that the company has na candi- date for Governor, Gage will not be con- sidered a factor In the fight. The Directors of the Republican Pri- mary League will meet this evening to resume work on the plans of Assembly district organization. There is a strong sentiment in the directory favorable to the nomination of delegates to the State convention at least three days before Au- gust 12, the date of the primary election. The league has no candidate for Governor, but the Republican voters composing the league are opposed to Gage because he has surrendered the administration of State affairs to the bosses. The voters wili want to know before the day of election whether any Gage sympathizers are on the ticket. If time is given to inspect the delegate tickets apd ascertain if the nominees thereon are genuine stalwart anti-boss Republicans, Gage will get no aid and ccmfort from the San Francisco delega- tion to the Republican State convention. WILL APPRAISE COST OF NEW SCHOOLHDUSES Supervisors* Public Utilities Commit- tee Requests Board of Works to Prepare Plans. The Supervisors’ Public Utilities Com- mittee heard the members of the Board of Education yesterday regarding the sites end inventory of property required for new schoolhouses as recommended by the board and already published. The Board of Works will be called upon to furnish plans and estimates of the cost of the new schoolhouses, some of which will be erected on sites belonging to the city. The Directors urged that the new Low- ¢ll High School be placed on Lafayette Park, and the City Attorney was asked for his opinion of the legality of the pro- cedure. The committee intends to rec- ommend a $500,000 building, the observa- tory to which will cost $100,000. D’Ancona insisted on provision being made for a technical school, but action was prost- poned. The committee reported in favor of the bili approving the erection and equipment by the trustees of the Public Library of a branch public library on Sixteenth and Prosper streets. et ) LAUNDRY CLERK EAVEY ARRESTED IN DENVER Detective Geo:ge McMahon Leaves ‘With the Neccssary Papers for His Extradition. Captain Seymour was notified yesterday that Earl L. Eavey, the defaulting clerk | of the United States Laundry on Sixteenth street, had been arrested in Denver and the necessary papers for his extradition were at once prepared. Detective George W. T. McMahon left yesterday afternoon for Sacramento to get the papers signed | by the Governor and will then proceed to Denver to bring Eavey back. Eavey had the combination of the safe and early Sunday morning he went to the office, opened the safe and stole $77, which had been left to pay the wages of the girls employed in the laundry Monday morning. He was seen by the watchman, to whom he explained that he had come to clean the office windows. He wrote a letter from Wadsworth, Nev., to W. J. Biggy, proprietor of the Jaundry, that he had been driven to take the money to get away from this city, be- cause he had been brooding over things and his back/ was troubling him. He asked Blggy’s forgiveness and sald he had instructed his relatives to Tecoup Biggy for the money stolen. —— Gifts Are Exempt From Duty.

The action taken by the Builders’ As- sociation to remain neutral in the fight now being waged by the Building Trades Council against the Brothérhood of Car- penters and Joiners has greatly encour- aged the members of the latter organiza- tion, and they are now certain they will win their fight. At a meeting of the District Council of the Brotherhood last night reports were received that the authority of the agents of the Building Trades Council, was being generally ignored by union men on all the buildings. In one or two instances the agents were ordered to leave the build- ings, and when they refused they were forcibly ejected. The union carpenters de- clare they will no longer submit to the domination of McCarthy, and as the days pass the ranks of the unions favoring the brotherhood are being swelled. Several affidavits sworn to before nota- ries were flled with the District Council of the Brotherhood announcing that the brotherhood men interested in the fight number 1433. The unions are No. 483 with 614 men, No. 36 with 501, No. 304 with 118, No. 616 with 50 and No. 1082 with 150. It is claimed that the carpenters affiliated with the BulldlnF Trades Council cannot show one-half this enumerated strength. At a largely attended meeting of the Building Trades Council at B'nai B’rith Hall last night the action of the master builders in deciding to remain neutral was discussed. The resolutions adopted by the contractors were not relished by the council. The statements of the Dis- trict uncil of the Brotherhood that they Had the sympathy and support of the plumbers, lathers and others of the buile llzf trades were characterized as false. The discussion of the existing trou- bles was marked by bitterness. It was reported last night that Presi- dent McCarthy was losing ground rap- idly by reason of his failure to win the contractors to his cause. Hé had asserted that the contractors would infallibly cast their lot with the Building Trades Coun- cil, and their fallure to 1o so fell into McCarthy’'s camp with the effect of a bombshell. It is known that many men of McCarthy’s own union are disgusted with the troubles, which have resulted only in loss of time and money to them, and they are on the eve of revolt against their chief. In any event the situation is greatly strained and important develop- ments are expected. EPWORTH LEAGUE MEETS IN FRATERNAL UNION ridesr s Rev. Mr. Dennett and Dr. W. W. Case Deliver Addresses Before Enthusiastic Gathering. The San Francisco Epworth League Alli- ance he.u its quarterly rally last even- ing at Grace Methodist Episcopal Church. The rally was large and enthusiastic and the programme had been admirably ar- ranged. After a most enjoyable musical pro- gramme had been performed the Rev. E. P. Dennett of Alameda First Church de-/ livered a profound and stirring address, the subject being “The Master Passion.” The lecturer said that the God passion created a mighty enthusiasm and convic- tion. It was the supreme passion of which man’s soul was capable. There was no force so great and strong as the God assion, said Mr. Dennett, for it was | faithful unto death. stood for truth, for character, and it the duty of all tn} see that the God fon had the right of way. 3 Dr. W. W. Case spoke of the district convention at College Park, in which he described the fervor of the %artlclpnnts. After the address the assemblage joined at the festive board.

The Gaelic League had its turn last night in contributing to the success of the Irish fair, and the members of that or- ganization turned out in goodly numbers. Every one of the local branches of the league was adequately represented, and there were also present large delegations from Port Costa, Oakland and Sacra- mento. The members of the league formed a line of march at City Hall avenue and moved in a body to the Pavilion. As the procession entered the hall they were given a hearty reception. In honor of the occasion addresses in Gaelic and Gaelic music were given. Aside from the programme provided by the Gaelic League, delightful entertain- ments were given by Cavan, Westmeath and Antrim booths. The ladies of these booths proved themselves very capable entertainers. The Cavan programme con- sisted of vocal and instrumental music, while at the Westmeath booth the visit- ors were given a chance to enjoy some fancy dancing. Limerick and Monaghan booths will do their part toward furnishing amusement for the visitors who attend the fair to- night, and ‘a very interesting programme will be presented. ————————— FATHER ASKS INFORMATION ABOUT HIS MISSING SON J. A. Gaines of Annona, Texas, Tells Peculiar Story of Lad’s Dis- appearance. J. A. Gaines of Annona, Tex., has writ- ten to the Board of Health for informa- tion regarding his son, Walter S. Galnes, who he thinks died or was killed in this city last March. The father states that he deposited a sum of money in bank to pay for the embalming of his son’s re- mains and to ship the body to Paris, Tex., for burial. He did this after re- celving a telegram purporting to have been sent from the United States army general hospital. Inquiry developed that the telegram did not come from army headquarters, and the Chief of Police has not the name of Walter Gaines on his mortuary list. The Board of Health has no record that young Gaines died here. Inquiry at the ‘Winchester Hotel, where the young man stopped, disclosed that he left the hotel on February 12 last, and afterward called for six weeks for his mail. He then in- formed the clerk that he was going to Vallejo. —_—————————— Injured by a Runaway Team. F. E. Dunne, a driver for, the California Milk Company, was taken to the Harbor Hospital last evening, suffering from a strained back and possible internal in- juries. He was driving down the Lom- bard-street hill when his team became frightened at some children and ran away. Dunne was thrown out and the wheels of the wagon passed over his body. After having his injuries attended to he was removed to his home at 1414 Castro street. It Is not thought that his injurfes will result fatally. —_— ee————— Machinists’ Benefit Packs Tivoli.

At yesterday morning’s session of the subsidiary High Court of the Ancient Order of Foresters the high chief ranger received a letter of fraternal greeting from the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows. The report of the committee on tha state of the order was presented and adopted. This shows a gain in two years of more than 2000 members and the addl- tion of forty-eight new courts. It was decided to continue the Forest- ers’ Advocate as the official organ of the order. N Deputy A. U. Field, one of the officlal organizers, occuped the attention of the delegates for some time with a detailed account of his work. The proposition to change from an open ballot to a secret ballot for the election of grand officers was defeated. During the afternoon the election for high officers was held. Max Boehm, wWho for twelve consecutive years held the of- fice of high chief ranger, concluded that having served the order well during that time and done much to bring it to its present state of prominence he was entitled to a rest, so he declined to allow his name to be presented for nomination. The ballots taken resulted in the choice of the following named: J. B. Sanford of Mendocino, high chief ranger; O. M. Goldaracena of San Francisco, high sub- chief ranger; G. W. Lunt of San Franeis- co, high treasurer, sixth year; J. J. Rob- erts of Oakland, high court secretary; W. F. Jones of Oakland, high senior wood- ward; C. J. Gould of Los_Angeles, high junior woodward: G. F. Brown of San Francisco, high senior beadle; James Hagen of San_Francisco, high junior beadle; George J. Monck, Henry Zenda ard George Wilson, grand auditors; A. Way, A. O. Cauvel, M. C. Teicheco, J. M. Buxton and U. T. Henderson, grand trustees. After the evening Session there was a banquet, at which there were present many of the lady members of the Com- panions of the Forest. Covers were laid for 270. George J. Monk was toast- master and the following named were the speakers: M. Boehm, J. B. Sanford, O. M. Goldaraceaa, M. Dillman, J. Shaw, John Falconer, George W. Lunt, Dr. J. H. Smith, L. Dammash, . Lo G Miller, Willlam M. Cannon, E. A. Free- man, John Henderson and Henry W. Beaver. CONTEST FOR PRESIDENCY OF THE NATIVE DAUGHTERS The next session of the Grand Parlor of the Native Daughters of the Golden West will be held in this city in the early part of June. On account of strong factional feelings the session promises to be one of the most interesting that has ever been held by the order. One matter that has been agitating the general membership for several weeks past has been the report that the friends of the incumbent president, Mrs. Baker, who is the leader of one faction of the order, propose to run her for a second term for the office of grand president in order to defeat the ambition of Grand Vice President Miss Keith, who is the leader of the other faction. Ever since the or- der has been organized no'one who has served in the capacity of grand president {ms ever submitted her name for a second erm. The precedent for but one term as grand president of the Native Daughters of the lden West was established by Mrs. Tina L. Kane, the first grand presi- dent of the order. At the close of her term that office was tendered to her again, but she refused the proffered honor, while appreciating the devotion and loyalty that prompted it. It remains to be seen if the rule will be broken this year. I{' ‘ i | | i Al Swell Straw Hats. Been thinking of buying a straw hat for the sum~ mer season?
