Herold, brother of the late Bes- sle B. Friedlander, who was drowned un- der peculiar circumstances while en route on the steamer Eureka from this city to Portland, filed yesterday an opposition to the petition for letters of administration filed some days ago by Harry A. Fried- lander, her husband. Herold bases his opposition on four grounds: First, that the suspicious cir- cumstances surrounding the death of his sister implicated Friedlander; second, that Friedlander lacks ability to care for an estate; third, that his character for truth, honesty and integrity in the com- munity in which he lives is bad, and fourth, that his reputation for morality is such that it should act as a bar to his serving as adminisgrator.

The chalrman | shall be elected LEAGUERS HURRY To fim SCHEME THROUGH Perfect Organization of New Democratic Machine. Livernash Remains Away and Little Opposition Develops. The Democratic League, {rreverently kffown as the “Horse and Cart Club,” now stands permanently organized and | with the true combative spirit of Dem- ocracy only awaits the campaign cry to demonstrate the strength. of the ‘“bone and sinew” that marks its composition. What the Democratic League chose to call its adjourned meeting was held last | evenmng in Pioneer Hall, and though there was a slight wave of opposition to the scheme of those who are beating this latest political machine into running or- der, the report of thej committee on per- manent organization and order of busi- ness was never in jeopardy and when the | call for the vote was made it went through with a whoop. The report of the committee, which was adopted with but few dissenting votes, ganization. It is as follows: REPORT OF COMMITTEE. Your committee on permapent organization and order of business begs 18ave to report as follows: That_the temporary officers of the Demo- cratic League be made the permanent officers thereof. That ‘the chalrman be authorized to appoint three Democrats from each Assembly District, who in turn shall, select one representative from each precinct within their respective dis- vice chairman, secretary and treasurer of thé league shall be ex-officio members of said com- mittee. Said committee shall have power to settle all contests and disputes in the various districts until the executive committee here- inafter provided for has been elected and or- ganized. That the members of the enrolling commit- tee in each district shall immediately proceed to enroll the Democrats within their respective districts and shail at once organize a Dem- ocratic League Club within each of faid dis- tricts. That at the first meeting of each of said clubs three members thereof shall be elected by ballot as members of the executive com- mittee of the Democratic League, said execu- tive committee to be composed of members so selecteq and the permanent officers of the league as members ex-officio. That immediately following the selection of £aid executive committee the secretary of t Democratic League shall call said committ together for organizat b tion ol a chalrman, vice chairm ry That at the first m h of sald clubs one member thereof from each precinct by “ballot, the members so elected to comprise, with the members of the | executive committee, the general committee of | the Democratic Leazue That the names o tives on the the district representa- | executive and the general com- | mittee be handed in to the secretary within ten days by the members of the enrolling com- mittee. DEBATE IS OPENED. Temporary Chairman James H. O'Brien called the meeting to order and the re- port of the committee on organization and order of business was read. Its read- | ing was followed by a motion for’ its adoption, and though Congressman Liver- nash was absent, it developed opposition in the person of James F. Mullin, who favored the meeting with his name, but withheld any further information by | which his identity might be more lull)‘ established. His battery was soon si- lenced by oratorical broadsides from James -E. Britt and Charles Wesley Reed, the vote was put and the Demo- cratic League was a reality. The report of the committee on reso- | lutions, composed of Livingston Jenks (chairman), G. E. Caglieri, R. W. Gil- ogley, A. W. Wehe and W. I Kearney, which was unanimously adopted, demon- strated the fact that the Democratic League is launched on the political sea with large ambitions. Equal representa- | tion, economic, honest and intelligent ad- | ministration, effient public service, new hospitals, new sewers, additional parks | and boulevards, public ownership of street | railways and other utilities, and, last| but most important. a solicitation for the | support of labor, are all contained in the | Democratic League’s manifesto of policy. The resolutions adopted, Charles J. Heggerty moved for ah adjournment to the call of the chair, and, with a wild shout of approval, the Democratic League for the time disbanded. —_—— United Republicans.

On motion the president was authorized to name an executive committee to con- sist of one from each precinct in the dis- trict to report at the next meeting. Brief speeches were made by Hon. A. P. Wi liams, T. D. Riordan, A. Ruef, Dr. W. F McNutt, Henry Ach, G. M. Pinney, Ed | Haughey, M. M. Miller and the officers- elect. e e Card From Farnham. I wish to deny the statement made in a morning paper, inspired by some dis- reputable and scheming oliticlan to throw discredit on my administration of an office that has been honestly conducted during my incumbency. There is a legal question as to the collection of certain | fees in which I am guided by the best legal advice. Any accusation as to dis- honesty or lllegal prflctl(_ss are malicious falsehoods.

He was driving on the track on Devisadero street, near Eddy; on Mon- day afterncon in front of an electric car with his watch in his hand. Policeman Fay went up to him and asked him to drive off the track, but he said the law allowed him five minutes and he was go- ing to take it. Fay persuaded him to al- low the car to pass and walked gway. few minutes later Hahn was doing the same thing in front of another car and Fay placed him under arrest. GOIN THE PRIZE She Is Entitled to $30,000. Miss Marie Nightingale, the trained nurse, who claims to be the daughter of the late Palagia Krzyzanowski and who is seeking to prove to a jury in Judge Troutt's court that- she is entitled to the $30,000 estate of the woman she claims was her mother, was the principal wit- ness yesterday in the trial of the case in which she is the petitioner. Other wit- nesses were examined, but none of the testimony, outside of that of the claim- ant, was important. Court adjourned at 4:30 to enable the at- torneys to take the testimony of Jacob | Peyzer, a brother of Mrs. Nightingale, into whose house Miss Nightingale was taken when a child. He is at St. Luke Hospital. He is ready to swear, it is said, that he saw the alleged heiress at his ster’'s house when the former was but a few weeks old. This testimony, if it be given, will be important, as Miss Night- ingale stated on the stand yesterday that Mrs. Krzyzanowski teld her that when she ADVERTISEMENTS.

Miss Nightingale testified that she re- i was living with the Nightingales because she called her “her darling” and because she frequently saw her giving money to Mrs. Nightingale with the request to pur- chase “‘the baby” a dress. She said also was her mother, “but,” said Miss Night- ingale, “when I asked her to tell me E cu the name of my father, she said she ' > could not,” as her lips were sealed. She SAX “RANCISCO. told me she could not acknowledge me to the world as her daughter.” ———— The case will go on to-day at 11 a. m. —_—— AGED WIDOW CHARGES ABUSE OF " CONFIDENCE Mrs. M. N. Dickinson | Sues Mary K. # McCluskey to Recover Valuable Vallejo-Street Property. In a suit filed yesterday by Margaret N. Dickinson, an aged widow, against Mary K. McCluskey to set aside a deed, the plaintiff alleges~that the defendant has taken advantage of her years and is withholding from her property on Vallejo street worth $5000, which Mrs. Dickinson deeded to her under the condition that when she demanded its return it should be deeded back to her. Mrs. Dickinson alleges that in February, 1902, when she was about to start on a visit to Augusta, Me., she deeded to the defendant the Vallejo-street property, with the understanding that if, on ac- count of her extreme age, the trip across the continent caused her death, the deed was to become absolute. She made the trip in safety and also the return trip, and a few weeks ago she demanded of Mrs. McCluskey an acknowledgment of the trust or a return deed. This, alleges the plaintiff, .
