The members of Company B, First Regiment, League of the Cross Cadets, have completed arrangements for an.en- tertainment and dance to be given at Mission Opera Hall on Mission street, be- | tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth, on Saturday evening, October 24, for the benefit of the football team of the com- pany, popularly known as “the Cardinal E’s.” The proceeds of the affair are to be devoted to the purchase of uniforms and necessary equipment. The members of the team are practicing with a vim and expect to carry off one of the prizes of Leg Broken While at Work. Simon Murchison, while employed yes- terday in making alterations in the curve combination at the turn where the Hyde- street cars turn from O'Farrell into Jones street, met with a painful accldent by having his right leg broken by a lever which was suddenly thrown out of place. The injured man was taken to the Emer- gency Hospital, where Dr. Bunnell set the fractured leg. Later Murchison was re- moved to the McNutt Hospital at the or- der of the California Street Railroad Company. ———————— Caught Smuggling Opium. OAKLAND, Oct. 6. — Lee Bang, a Chinese who was detected in the act of passing opium to a fellow countryman confined In the county jail here, was held for trial to-day by Justice of the Peace Quinn.

The opium had been cleverly concealed in cigar wrappers, but was so beavy that the trick was detected. !of the Central BIAL'S SANITY. 15 QUESTIONED Pretty Hattie HEaton Is Taken Into Custody. Persists in Visiting Mill Val- ley Stableman Despite Objections. i e S Occupying a cell in the detention ward Emergency Hospital is pretty Hattie Eaton, daughter of A. J. J2aton, who resides at 833 Shrader street, this city. The young girl's detention is due to her constant desire to go over to Mill Valley. Her presence and eccentric conduct while in that suburb have at- tracted a great deal of attention and oc-! casioned much adverse comment from the | | residents of that place. suss Eaton is a pretty girl. She became infatuated with Joseph Landgraf Jr., a! well-known stableman of Mill Valley, and has frequently crossea the bay to be near him. Landgraf at first was flattered by her attentions to him, worried. He pleaded with woman to stay away, but she refused and her persistency has been rewarded by her being taken into custody. There is a fear that she is mentally unbalanced. She will | be examined by physicians to-day and in | all probability will be sent to:a private sanitarium. Landgraf's father did his utmost to break off the friendship that existed be- tween his son and the young yoman. He communicated with her father and he| tried his utmost to keep his daughter at home. Despite his efforts she would slip out of the house and go to Mill Valley, remaining there several days and sleep- ing in the stable. On one occasion she hid in one of the stalls in the stable and on being discovered retreated to the dense woods surrounding Mill Valley. Last week Joseph Landgraf Sr. secured a warrant for the arrest of the young girl on a charge of vagrancy. The unfortu- nate girl was taken into custody and sub- sequently appeared before Judge Prior of Sausalito. She pleaded not guilty and de- | manded a jury trial. When the case came up last Wednesday Miss Eaton, in her own defense, claimed that she had been | employed by Landrgraf to keep his books | and she was earning her livelihood in that | way. Young Landgraf was subpenaed as a witness and was ordered to appear in court with his books. He answered the ! summons, but before he could be placed on the witness stand he disappeared. | Judge Prior issued a bench warrant for | Landgraf's arrest. Miss FEaton was admonished to keep away from Mill Val- :y. On Sunday evening she was seen | there and her father was notified. He| caused her removal to this city and de- tention in the Recelving Hospital. | L e e e B CGRACKLES aUlT BEFORE GOURT Youth Demands $10,- 000 From the Mo- rosco Estate, Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 118 Broadway, Oct. 6. The trial of the suit for $10,000 against | the estate of the late Walter Morosco, otherwise known as Blshop, circus tum- | bler, tmpresario and capitalist, was begun | before Judge Melvin to-day. This amount | is asked by Willard Perry Crackles, a youth to whom Morosco took a fancy and, | 80 Crackles claims, promised him if he would live with him as a companion he would provide for him and when he had finished his education set him up in busi- ness. Morosco dled a few months after Crackles had gone to live with him with- out making any provision for Crackles, who has now begun suit for a sufficlent "sum to carry out the programme. Crackles was 18 years of age when he went to live with his benefactor. He was in court to-day, but the trial of the case had only proceeded a short time when a legal point was raised by the attorney for Lewis H. Bishop, executor of the es- tate, and a halfbrother of the deceased, who attacked the suWMciency of the grounds upon which the complaint is founded. The argument lasted until the noon recess, when Judge Melvin continued the matter over until to-morrow morning in order to have time to look up the au- thorities in the matter. —_———— Finds Brother Dead.

INDIAN RELICS GROW PRECIOUG Bl AL Anthropologists Need Them for Native History. SRESIERI Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2148 Center st., Oct. 6. ‘With the object of obtalning a complete history of the aboriginal peoples and lan- guages of California the Unlversity of California sent broadcast to-day a eir- cular that contains an appeal to all Cali- fornlans to aid in the survey of the State for Indian relics, through which the an- thropologists may trace the history of the prehistoric populace. The circular reads as follows: ERE 17 of the anthropological depart- ment make & special appeal to persons in all parts of the State and adjacent regions for aid in this survey. Hundreds of Indlan objects | are found annually, which if carefully labeled as to where and how found and sent to the university, would, when brought together for comparative study, aid in the settiement of many important questions. The distribution of a particular kind of stone implement or of an anclent form of basket and of many other ob- jects of Indian manufacture (even the pecullar stone of which an implement is made is of great_importance), will ald in determining the distribution of a tribe or group of which other records may be lost or so uncertain that just confirmatory evidence to establish a par- ticular point is required. Information relating to_the location of caves, shellheaps, old burial places, ancient village sites and scattered fragments or survivors of nearly extinet tribes is earnestly solicited, that such may be investigated by the department and may be correctly recorded on its ethno- logical and archaeological maps of the State. The university is by this survey carrying on a research of great importance in obtaining a | knowledge of the first peopling of the Pacific Coast and of the early migratione, and of the relationships of the recent and present Indians, a research that is required by gnthropolog! and by all interested in the early history man. This work has been well begun, jut as- sistance of many kinds is needed for its rapid progress. This assistance, it is hoped, will be Elven to ald the universify of the State in an undertaking of euch general interest. The anthropologists have long been mystified by the great diversity of Indian languages in California, there being more here than anywhere else in America. The University of California and Eastern institutions have been carrying on more investigations of these languages during the last five years than in all previous time. These languages are rapidly dis- appearing and hardly a year goes by without some special dlalect or even lan- guage becoming extinct. In some cases there are only five or six individuals re- maining to speak their tribal language. It is to preserye these languages that the university is training students to carry on the research before the oppor- tunities pass awaw. UNIVERSITY EVENTS 6.—The programme for the entertainment _to-mor- ity that he would ever go before the bar of any earthly court to again answer to the charge of murder. For nearly twen- ty years the bedridden prisoner remained speechless and unable to move without assistance on the cot where he breathed his last. He was in his %ith year. In all of the months the old man laid in jail he never spoke of the crime, nor offered a word of explanation. While he was a prisoner the modern electric street car was introduced. One day he was taken to a jall window and saw the new vehicles whizzing by. The sight startled the old man, and never again did he ask to leave his cell. Jones had been falling for months. For several weeks past his condition was no- ticeably worse. Frank Hardle, the old prisoner’s attendant, heard him breathing heavily this morning, but there was no sign of approaching death. The old man passed off as a child in gentle slumber. Jones was arrested February 14, 1885, for the murder of Dutil, which occurred many weeks before that date. Dutil's body, with the head crushed by a blow from a brass beer keg faucet, was found on the floor of his saloon at Nineteenth street and San Pablo avenue. The mur- derer had stolen Dutil's jewelry and money from the saloon till, and a trail of blood showed where he had escaped by way of a back fence. ‘Weeks afterward George Jones, 'a lock- smith, was arrested at Seventh street and Broadway for drunkenness. En route to jail Jones dropped pieces of jewelry, sub- sequently recovered and identified as hav- ing belonged to Dutil. The police started from that clew and weaved a chain of circumstantial evidence around Jones that caused his conviction. He claimed that the jewelry had been sold to him by a young man, but the sus- picious action in his throwing away the stolen property convinced the jury, along with much other evidence, that Jones was the murderer. During the trial the jury was taken to view Dutil's saloon. For some reason or another Jones did not accompany the jury on its Inspecting tour, and this oversight was held to be sufficient to warrant the granting of the new trial The old man was dumb about the case, and he did not fulfill the prophecy of Former Detective Fred Fuller that one day he would confess. Congressman Vie- tor H. Metcalf was Jones' attorney at the trial. The old man had a lingering hope that in view of his condition the case might be dismissed, so many years having elapsed. Bome time ago he asked that the Congressman be requested to do some- thing in that direction. The aged pris- oner seemed to feel as if he would like to die out of prison. But there was no move to be made. Jones' body was turned over to under- takers to be prepared for burial. Th2 ex- pense will be borne by the county. —e————— Miss Bennet’s Engagement. OAKLAND, Oct. 6.—The engagement of Miss Elsie Beatrice Bennet and William Lynham Shiels was announced to-day. Miss Bennet is the daughter of Mrs. Charles A. Bennet of 829 Oak street and a niece of Mrs. E. L. G. Steele, who is bet- ter known, perhaps, as tho mother of Mrs. Thomas H. Willlams, wife of the presi- dent of the new California Jockey Club.

ORDERS LLOYD GONTEST TRIED Judge Hall Refuses to Entertain Motion for Delay. Contestant’s Attorney Tells of Decedent’s Matrimon- - ial Tendencies. Sl Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 6. Trial of the suit to break the will of the late Charles R. Lloyd, the Berkeley capitalist, the shooting of whom by his nephew, Willlam Boxall, in San Ber- nardino last January created a sensation, was begun this morning in department 4 of the Superior Court before Judge Hall. The contest was brought by Frederick W. Lloyd, eldest son of the deceased, he having been disinherited by his father. The estate consists mainly of stocks and bonds of a value of about $350,000. It is alleged by the contesting son that his father was insane and under the un- due influence of his wife and Miss Wil- kinson, his housekeeper, at the time he made his will. The widow, who was Lloyd's second wife, children other than the contestant, Mabel Lloyd, Captain Charles R. Lloyd Jr. and Ethel Liloyd, and his housekeeper, Miss Wilkinson, were the beneficiaries. Lloyd was serfously wounded by Will- fam Boxall in January, the cause of the affray being wrongs alleged to have been committed by Lloyd against Boxall's sis- ters. Recovering partially, Lloyd left for Japan on.a pleasure trip before Boxall could be prosecuted. He was at the time placed under bonds pf $100,000 to insure his appearance at the trial of his nephew. ‘While on shipboard Lloyd suddenly dled, his demise being attributed to heart fall- use. The case against Boxall is still pend- ing. Much of yesterday’s morning session was spent by Attorney Byron Waters, counsel for the contestant, in an endeavor to se- cure a continuance, on the ground that his client was not prepared to go on with the case. WIDOW IS ILL. The reasons for wishing a continuance were given that Mrs. Mary R. Lloyd, the widow, was {ll and unable to be pres- ent; that the deposition of a witness in Fort Wayne had not.yet been secured; and that the jury called in the case was summoned originally to appear in depart- ment 5 of the Superior Court and could not be transferred to another department. After argument by the opposing attor- neys Judge Hall overruled the objections and decided to take the testimony of the contestant, Fred W. Lioyd, as to the con- dition and probable testimony of Mrs. Mary Lloyd. Lloyd deposed that he had seen Mary Lloyd at 8:40 o'clock at her home, 1114 Fourteenth street, this morn- ing and that she was very sick. Notwith. standing this testimony Judge Hall ordered the trial to proceed. Attorney Waters then out!ined what the contestant expected to prove by Mrs. Mary Lloyd, who was Lloyd's house- keeper before she wedded him. This was to the effect that Charles R. Lloyd was depraved and was insane on the subject of matrimony. On one occasiom, it 1is alleged, half an Hour after having met a woman Lloyd proposed marriage to her, and again on two days’ acquaintance with another woman he proposed matri- mony. Attorney W. 8. Goodfellow, for the pro- ponents of the will, asked at the begin- ning of the afternoon session that the case be tried behind closed doors. Waters objected and Judge Hall sustained his objection. The rest of the afternoon was taken up in the selection of thes jury. JURORS SELECTED. After much challenging by .the various attorneys in the case, the following named were selected and sworn in: W. D. Thomas, W. Berry, Carl Berlin, R. Wiand, H. W. Prall, M. Y. Smith, E. Kirchoft, W. F. Larrabee, C. B. Rlice, Seymour Johnson, M. Donohue and J. Bridgeman. The principals in the case present to- day were Fred W. Lloyd, Charles R. Lloyd, Jr., and Mrs. Nix, a daughter of Mrs. Mary R. Lloyd. The daughters, Mabel and Ethel Lloyd, were in the court house, but remained outside of the court room. After the selection of the jury the case was continued until 2 o’clock to-morrow. It is expected that evidence of a highly sensational character will be introduced and that the case will be most bitterly contested. The contestant’s attorneys are Byron Waters and W. Wylle of Los Angeles. For the beneficlaries are Attorney W. S. Goodfellow and District Attorney J. J. Allen. —_—— Marriage Licenses.

Young Ward Causes the Ar- rest of C. C. Hackett for Mayhem. —_— ALAMEDA, Oct. 6.—Her failure to get Up early in the morning when she was called resulted in Lavina Russell, 14 years of age, being whipped by her guardian, C. C. Hackett, with a hair brush, during which interesting operation two of her fingers were broken. To-day Hackett, who Is colored, as is also his ward, was arrested on complaint of the girl and charged with mayhem. The warrant was obtained In Justice of the Peace James Quinn’s court in Oakland and served by Constable H. T. Hempstead. After being apprehended the defendant was taken be- fore Justice of the Peace F. S. Cone and released on $2000 bonds furnished by E. D. Judd and J. R. Hackett. According to Hackett's narrative of the affair, the fracturing of the girl's fingers was accidental. He said that she was a member of his household, living with his family at 1728 Paru street, and that when he entered her room last Thursday morn- ing and awakened her she refused to arise when ordered to do so, claiming that she was sleepy. Hackett thereupon proceeded to chastise the drowsy young woman and wielded a hair brush In the performance. He asserts that the girl threw up her hand to protect herself and that it came in contact with the back of the brush, two fingers being broken. Miss Russell is now with friends in Oakland. ————— EXHIBIT OF ARTIST! LEAGUE BIG SUCCESS Opening Night Wltmm a Large and Fashionable Gathering at the Palace Hotel. That the free exhibit of the Newspaper Artists’ League is destined to prove a grand success was plainly suggested by the large attendance at the formal open- ing of the exhibit in the Maple room of the Palace Hotel last evening. It was patrons’ night and brought to the ex- hibit hall a notable gathering of fash- fonable people, who carefully inspected the products of the local artists’ pencils and brushes and bestowed much praise upon the elaborate display, which is un- doubtedly the finest ever made in this city. The sketches and paintings, stretch- ed upon the screens which extend around the hall, represent the work of over fifty well known local artists, who have united in making the display as attractive as possible in the matter of arrangement. It is purposed to continue the exhibit until Saturday night, during which time the public will be welcomed afternoon and evening. The members of the league are in attendance to afford their guests every reasonable attention and they fur- nish the latter with an interesting as well as elaborate catalogue, in which they may find valuable reference to each ex- hibit. The sales last evening amounted to over 35000, which was accepted by the league members as an encouraging assur- ances of the success of the affalr.
