Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Sept. 11. Peter C. Donohue, the Fresno ofl broker, | to-day lost his suit against M. J. Lay- mance for the recovery of oil stock val- | ued at nearly $50,00, held by Laymance | in the California Standard and Giant Oll ) companies. Donchue alleged a partner-| ship agreement with Laymance and | sought to recover one-third of the pro- moters’ stock secured by Laymance by | virtue of obtaining the option on the ofl lands in the McKlttrick district and in organizing the two oil companies, which are capitalized at $500,000 each. Ample testimony was introduced by the showing he had inspected the oll fields and had introduced Laymance to the owners, but there was very little testimony relative to the alleged copart- nership. Only on one occasion did the plaintiff allege that the verbal agreemenc ween himself and Laymance was over heard by a witness. This testimony Judge | Hall, who decided the case, held to be which it was recalled L court decided that it w would bear critical analysis. In a deposition made by Donohue he failed to state that a third party had overheard the testimony, but subsequent- ly rcealled it on the witness stand, the witness saying that he had entered the office of Laymance and in the presence : the plaintiff, the s testimony that s. | of a third party abruptly said to the de- | fendant, “Are you satisfied with our | agreement—you to take two-thirds and I { one-third ?"" | In summing up the case Judge Hall | said; The burden of the proof is on the plaintiff. | It has not been shown to the ratisfaction of the court that on agreement existed between the defendant and the plaintiff.

He made no demand for an accounting until l | nearly four years had gome by and the prop- erty was greatly enhanced in value.

IlL—After having been proscribed by the cxecutive com- mittee of the Assaclated Students of University of Californla last night as not eligible to play on tho football team on acoount of failure to register at col- lcge, "Ox" Albertson, the football cap- tain, appeared to-day and registered as a graduate student, He'declares that a too severe construction of the intercollegiate agreoment concerning registration of ath- letes has been made by the committee. He is confident of getting into the game. The intercollegiate agreement in ac- cordance with which the committee acted last night is to the effect that no one 15 eligible to the team who has not reg- istered in the university within twenty- five days of the opening 2of college. Since 1egistration for upper classmen was held. cn August 14 the committee decided that Albertson’s lease of grace expired two days ago. ‘fhe tardy captain maintains that his registration to-day is within the agree- ment, since graduate students were not allowed to enroll until August 18, hence he would have until Saturday night and ill .be acting according to law. In this umption he is supported by the word the recorder of the university. It is felt that Albertson's claim will be allowed by the committee and that it will reconsider its motion. The pol- 1wy of the committee scems divided and | conflicting statements are given out b its members. Stanford can enter no pro. test if Professor G. C. Edwards, chair- man of the faculty athletic committeee, allows Albertson’s name to be placed upon the list of eligibles, Professor Edwards sail to-day: “The Cecision of the committce last night is final.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 11.—The grand jury has returned an indictment against | Mrs. Rosa La Branche Dauphin, widow | of Maximilian Dauphin, for many years president of the Louisiana State Lottery. The action was not made public imme- diately in order to enable the District At- torney to get the necessary requisition papers from Governor Heard and arrest Mrs. Dauphin, who is said to be ill in or | near New York. Dauphin, who was president of the Louisiana Lottery, died in 1891. His estate was inventorled at $100,000, his widow and | a friend being executors. other heirs, including Dauphin's mother. The estate was settled up, the heirs were paid their share and the, widow and lega- tee came into possession of the rest of the property. Eleven years after the | among the effects of Judge Porche, who | had been Mrs. Dauphin's lawyer. in the probate case an old, badly torn paper was found giving a list of a large number of bonds which apparently formed part of | the Dauphin estate, but which had not figured in the inventory. Dauphin had Kkept his money and securities in a box | in_his room and was a much_ wealthier man than many supposed. From this box, his widow, it is charged, had stolen from the estate and secreted $214,000 in securities and $40,000 in cash. In order to cover up her work she sold the bonds and invested the money in new securities | so that no trace could be found of it. She kept no bank account and frequently had | $100,000 on her person. Judge Lazarus, counsel for the heirs, succeeded in tracing ' every bond. The court awarded judgment against Mrs. Dauphin for $383,066, the entire amount, with ‘interest. and fled.

Cleanly woman has an erroneous idea that by scouring the scalp, which re- moves the dandruff scales, she is curing the dandruff.
