Aguirre, Martin G. Aguirre and Mrs. Dolores Aguirre .le Pico against Archbishop Patrick Wil- liam Riordan of the Roman Catholic diocese of San Francisco, Bishop | Thomas Grace of the diocese of Sacra- mento and Bishop Thomas J. Conaty of Monterey and Los Angeles. The suit » is for an accounting. in .connection with what is known as “The‘ Pious Fund of the Californias,” and the case has its inception in the early history of California, when the State was a part of the Mexican republic. The com- plaint consists of more than fifty type- written pages, and is practically a history of the Roman Catholic church in California. x It is alleged by the plaintiffs that prior to April 27, 1830, the Roman Cath- olic church of Upper and Lower Cali- fornia owned property amounting to more than $1,000,000 within the republic of Mexico belonging ‘to what was known as the “Funda Piodoso de Las Californias,” or the “Pious Fund of the Californias.” This fund was in- trusted t6 the sole care and manage- ment of the Roman Catholic church for the purpose of converting the In- dians and for the propagation of the Catholic religion. Notwithstanding this fact the fund was seized about August, 1833, by the Mexican Govern- ment without the consent of the mis- sionary fathers, and down to the year 1840 was retained by ulls of Mexico. In 1340 thWe diocese of the Californjas was _established by Covernment and placed under S NEX dressed dolls at s0oc and g3c. | face; dressed out even to the hat. | heads. sléeping eyes, long curly hair, lace stockings, |13 in 6 notes, 21c; fixed on pianos | inches high. | chimes. { windows necessary. | pretty | litle girl's heart more than to get one of these? t $5.75. chairs and a sofa. 50c, , but maybe | to) cnameled frame, good wire mattress; to Archbishop Riordan’s legal pusiness, under the laws | Said last evening: HALE’S.

Afterward General Antonio Lopez de Santa, Ana, then provisional. President of the republic of Mexico, assumed the sole administration of the fund with the declaration that he would always respect the wishes of the founders. It again came into possession of the church at a subsequent date, and its administration has passed on down through the various heads of the church unti] nosv it rests with the de- fendants in the suit. The amount ad- vanced by Jose Aguirre never has been paid, it is said, and the present suit is to recover that amount. Garret W.
