Mother of John Auzerais Has Had Romantic Career. ST S Deducting es and other sourc Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan, 29. A romantic tale centers about the con- test instituted by C. W. Clark, a wealthy ploneer,.to the application of Leon Esmoil | and his wife, Lucy Esmoil, formerly an actress, to be appointed guardians of the $130.000 estate of John Llewellyn Auzerals, a son of Mrs. Esmoil by a former mar- riage. The lad inherited the fortune from the late flour man, Llewellyn Williams, who left a fortune of $335,000. Mrs. Es- moil, the boy's mother, was an adopted daughter of Williams. This daughter married Jean Auzerafs, a member of the wealthy San Jose fam- ily.” When Williams died in 1891 he re- membered his adopted daughter by leav- ing her $100,000, and also by leaving her son the same amount. The bequests were unsuccessfully fought by relatives in the East. The lad’s father and mother, both hav- ing independent fortunes, lived in high style, spending money right and left. vorce followed. The day after it granted Auzerais married a former nurse in his family, and his wife married J Hoyt, an actor, who was a brother of | the late well known playwright, Charles Hoyt. A theatrical troupe was organized by Mrs. Hoyt and her husband. A trip to | Alaska and subsequently a tour through Europe comprised the itinerary of the or- | ganization. Mrs. Hoyt spent $10,000 a | month on her play, and finally wound up | broke in London, where her husband dled. | Mrs. Hoyt returned to America and mar- ried her present husband, Leon Esmoll, a commercial drummer. { *In relating his reasons for opposing the | petition Clark, who is the executor of Willlams' will, said: “The boy's mother and her husband are | not fit to have charge of the estate. They are too fond of spending money. Mrs. Esmoil is now lying on a sick bed from ;wML‘h she may never arise. If letters were granted the boy's estate would pass into other hands. In ten vears’' time I have increased the original $100,000 to $120.- 000, besides paying out 320,000 for the lad's education. If any one should be appointed the boy’s guardian it is his grandmother in San Jose or myself.” F. E. Bovay. SANTA MONICA, Jan. 20.—Mayor F. E Bovay, who was reputed to have been the founder of the earliest Republican party, died here to-day, aged $t yeaps. He said recently: “It is not to be supposed that T went into the organization of the citizens of Ripon, Wis., and the country thereabouts blindly. That has been said frequently of me and my intentions in calling the first meetings at Ripon to protest against the actjons of our representatives in Con- gress and the lack of organized opposi- tion to the Kansas-Nebraska bill. T have each time denied it and pointed out an abundance of evidence and living wit- nesses in support of my comentpn, I or- ganized those men in these first meetings with the avowed purpose of making that a national party organization.” ¥ b Gompers’ Son Is Dead.

Some strong testimony was introduced n favor of the present standard of test. | John Baker Jr. of the Union Oil Company | informed the committge that he had been | in communication with Eastern cities for | the purpese of ascertaining what restric- | tions they have thrown about the use of fuel oil. He sent out dispatches of in- quiry in which the question was asked, “What flash test does your ordinance pro- 33 | vide for governing fuel oil burned under boilers for steam making purposes?” By telegraph he received answers from Chicago that that city has i@ ordinanc: | governing fuel oil. An answer to the same intent was returned from Philadel- | Phia and also from Galveston. The New Yori: ordinance, it was reported to Mr. Baker, is at 100 degrees. A. M. Hunt made a statement saying that he represented the Spreckels int ests and protested against the proposed | raise in the petroleum flash test. He sald | that the Spreckels enterprises had used | crude oil for fuel in many ways and no accldent had taken place in years and un- der the 110 degree test the city was pro- | tected. He contradicted a statement to | the effect that there had been three fires due to fuel oil in the Independent Electric | Light and Power plant. He considered | that there was absolute safety under the | 110 degrees flash test so far as the prop- | erty interests of San Francisco were con- | cerned. 1 Attorney Gaillard Stoney asked some questions to which Mr. Hunt responded, making the additional statement that in | his opinion the present ordinance secures | the public safety. | | M. J. Fontana, formerly Supervisor, told | the committee that the canneries combine, in which he is interested. uses oil in at least twenty large canneries in California, these being spread throughout all parts of the State. No accident of any sort has ever taken place in one of these twenty plants through the agency of fuel oil. All the plants have been using the fuel ofl constantly for several years. He did not think that present conditions should be @isturbed. If the ordinance that was pro- rosed should pass, raising the flash test on fuel of), contracts that had been made for oil might be vitiated. It appeared to him that the proposed ordinance had been proposed in the interest of some particu- lar company. The State has lacked cheap coal and cheap fuel oil had come to help | the industries of California. He consid- | ered it to be the duty of every citizen to help foster the use of oil. A. M. Beach of the Tubbs Cordage Com- pany sald that the entire ground was cov- | ered by the existing ordinance relating to the flash test. It was the duty of the au- | thorities, If there were violations of the ) law, to look after the matter. If, he said, the existing law were violated, so would be any law that fixed a higher flash test, After considerable discussion Supervisor | Lynch moved that it be considered the | | sense of the committee that the present | ordinance, with fts flash test at 110 de- 1gn-e.~, be consldered satisfactory. Super- | | visor Loughery seconded the motion and | this was adopted as the sense of the com- | mittes e CONSIDERS ORDINANCE TO | Supervisors Continue to Hear Evi-| dence of Owners of Property Injured by Blasting.

FATHER BLEESON CALLED T0 AT Venerable Pastor of St. Anthony’s Succumbs to Paralysis. paar St Death Ends a Half Century's Labor in the Interest of the Church. e Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Jan. 29. Father William Gleeson, for years the pastor of St. Anthony's Roman Catholic Church, passed away at noon to-day at the parochial residence, on teenth avenue, where he has made Lis home for three decades. His death was the resultof the paralytic stroke that came upon him last Sunday morning while he was putting on the vestments in prepartion for morning ma He sank to the ground when stricken and was der hands to his bed. The id there, was no hope. ble pastor hovered between borne by te physician: he v life and death until death conquered to- day. Only a portion of the time was he conscious and during the last twenty- four hours was unable to recognize even his friends of the priesthood who stood beside his bed. Just bef hon @ change came and the priest sank into a dcep sleep from which he did not awake. Father Gleeson fell one day about a month ago and dislocated his right shoul- der, an injury that was accompanied by a partial paralysis. It was this injury that the physicians belleve brought on the paralysis that ended In death. The Rev. Father Gleeson was 50 yvears a priest and would soon have celebrated his golden jubilee with his friend and classmate, the Rev. Father King, pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Con- ception. Fifty rs ago he graduated from All Hallo Cellege, Dublin, and was then 26 vears old. His life has been devoted to the service of the church, in the discharge of his duty he has bee in many lands and amid many stirring scenes. His first service was as chaplain of an English regiment fighting against the Sepoys in India. He was zfterward given a professorship in a college planted at the foot of the Himalaya Mountains far inland. At the end of two ears his eyes failed him and he was transferred to a college at Smyrna, remaining there two years under his brother, who was the superior. The rigors ¢f the climate of the Far East were too much for the priest and he came to America. His firct year in this country was spent in Carson City, Nev. Then he taught a year in the old St. Mary's College in San Francisco, and in e came to take charge of St. An- Church, with which he has been ever since. Father Gleeson was a man of strong intellect, with literary ability of an un- common kind. He wrote two books that are looked upon as authoritative by the Catholie church—one ““The History of the Catholic urch in California” and the other “Trials of the Church,” in two vol- | umes. These were written after the father had been in California but a short time. In addition to his high intellectual endowments the father had a wonderful facility for learning the languages, and he is d to have spoken no less than twelve tongues fluently. The funeral will be held Saturday morn- ing at 10 o'clock from St Anthony's Church, when a high mass will be sald. Archbishop Riordan will be the celebrant, though his consent to act has not yet been obtained. The interment will be in St Mary's Cemetery. CROWNED AS KING KI-KI OF EAGLES’ CARNIVAL 29— Thomas J. McGeo- v Treasurer, was crowned of the Eagles® Carnival this King Ki-Ki evening. There was a parade of his ma- jesty and his subjects, the Eagles, in gro- tesque costume. Features of the show were also in line. They were well received along the line of march and an immense crowd followed the pageant to the grounds where the coronation took place. The contest for king, which closed at noon, was a spirited one toward the last. Harry J. Bercivich, who was second, was beaten by only 100 votes. With fair weather the balance of the week promises to be a lively one at the carnival. Delegations of Eagles from Santa Rosa and Vallejo have been here | negotiating with the carnival company to give a show in those places. Saturday will | be Eagles’ day, when a large number of | the order is expected from San Francisco and other bay citles. —— e CHILD ASKS HELP OF PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 29.—Bernie Bird, the 10-year-old daughter of a man condemned to die in Alaska for murder, has written a pathetic letter to Miss Alice Roosevelt, asking her to intercede in her father's behalf.
