C., Dec. 2L—A new issue has been raised in the Hopper- Dunsmuir case. When Mrs. Dunsmuir entered the Hopper-Dunsmuir suit as an intervener against James Dunsmulir, her son, the defendant in that suit, it was understood that the will of 1899 was the only one at issue. Now, after the evidence of Mrs. Dunsmuir has been put in, the defendants have raised the issue of a will made In 1838 and Sir Charles Tupper, counsel for Mrs. Duns- mair, has objected, as it would now be necessary for him to call new evidence, including witnesses as to the laws of California. A decision will be given | to-morrow whether this reference to| the will of 1898 will be struck out or not. Patrick Nevin, a coachman in the employ of Mrs. ‘Dunsmuir, and now employed by Mrs. Hopper, was cross- examined this afternoon, the plaintiff's counsel asking questions tending to dence in their behalf, but had gone over to the other side. He denied this and | mentioned that Mrs. Hopper owed him | $400 for several months’ work. Witness said he had never heard tell of Alexander Dunsmuir wanting amusement as described by Mary Howe, who said Dunsmuir had fnduced her and another maid to spar for his amusement. He also gave evidence that the San Leandro property brought | in $7000 last year. J. P. Taylor, a coal dealer of Oak- land, Cal., and friend of fhe late Alex- ander Dunsmuir, told of witnessing the will in question and that during wit- acquaintance with the dead e, from 1877 to December 21, always found Dunsmuir intel- and able to do business without although he had periodical question ks dru had frequently stayed at unsmuir’s residence over night, and Id of conve tions he had had with Dunsmuir, pa ularly in regard to procuring his marriage license. He re- cited the detalls of the wedding, cor- roborating the evidence of Rev. Mr. | Shaw of Oakland in that regard. He nd Alexander Dunsmuir had one| drink of whisky, which witness poured | before the ceremony. Both were sober. | He told of buying the bark Oriole from Alexander Dunsmuir. He had wit- ne d the will which was drawn up on the evening after the wedding and | identified his signature. He had been asked then to keep the marriage quiet by both Alexander and Mrs. Dunsmuir. ————— PERSONA ton, A. F. at the Grand H. H. Clark,*a mining man of Tono- pah, is at the Palace.

Both houses were organized with the old officers throughout. Governor Cham- berlain’s message dealt with tax legis- lation only and contained ne recom- mendations. By a vote of 33 to 12 on a resolution of Representative Bilyou ‘the House went on record as being opposed to confining itself to tax legislation only, fect to the committee on resolutions. Both houses adjourned until 10 o'clock | to-morrow morning out of respect to | the memory of Representative Murphy of Union County, deceased. At the caucus this afternoon a mo- tion was adopted by a small majority which provided that the session should adjourn at midnight Wednesday and that all legislation, however important, which was not enacted by that time should go over until next regular ses- ever, until after a most heated discus- sion, which lasted for three hours dur- ing the afternoon, when recess was taken until 8 o’clock this evening. The first action taken by the caucus this afternoon was the adoption of a resolution, by a rising vote, to the ef- fect that it was the sense of the Re- publican members of the Oregon Legis- lature that President Roosevelt should be renominated for President of the | United States and all of the members pledged theémselves to support. him. —_————— CASEY'S FRIENDS SAVE HIM HIS MEMBERSHIP Brotherhood of Teamsters Votes Against the International Constitution. = There was a large attendance of the members of the Brotherhood of Team- | sters at the meeting held on Sunday | afternoon at the Alhambra Theater.

The cases were those of the Toltec Ranch Company vs. George | Cock and others and the Toltec Ranch | Company vs. Willlam Babcock and Louisa Babcock. The ranch company | claimed title under a transfer from the | rallroad company, but the claim in each case was disputed on the plea of pos-| session for twenty or thirty years. The Supreme Court of the State of | Utah decided in favor of the settlers and the Supreme Court of the United | States té-day affirmed that decision. | The opinion was handed down by Jus- tice McKenna. ENGAGEMENTS ARE ANNOUNCED AT PRETTY TEA A very pretty tea was given yester- day afternoon by Miss Mattie Milton | at her home, 2001 Lyon street, in honor | of Miss Katherine Selfridge, an inti- mate friend of the hostess. The affair was entirely informal, the guests be- ing asked by telephone. The fifty call- | ers hospitably entertained during the | afternoon included the closest friends | of the guest of honor. The drawing- rooms were made artistic with Christ- mas greens and red berries. | The charming tea was given for the | special purpose of announcing the en- | gagement of Miss Selfridge to Lieu- | tenant Frederick Kellond of the Nine- | teenth Infantry. No date is set for the | wedding. 1 Another surprise which awaited the guests was the announcement of Miss } | 2. <4 R el i T, - - 7 DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE LATE OAKLAND STREET FAIR AND THE SECRETARY OF THE ASSOCIATION THAT NOW FINDS ITSELF FACING A FINANCIAL DEFICIT. g et | | OAKLAND, Dec. 21.—Nearly - six | months have passed, but as yet no final report has been made by the Oak- land Street Fair and Carnival Associa- tion, and the indications are that the affairs of that organization are not as prosperous as was at nrst expected. As a matter of fact it depends upon the determination of a suit that is now pending whether the association will quit even or will find itself $2000 short. This condition has hardly been sus- pected by those who estimated, at the close of the fair, that tnere would be a balance of nearly $9000 on the right side of the accounts. But it is a fact, nevertheless, that the Oakland Street Fair and Carnival As- | sociation will have to win the suit now pending between the Oakland Electrical Company and the association in order to quit even, and if that suit Is lost there will be a deficit of $2000 to be met by somebody. It was announced at the close of the fair on July 4 last that it would take several weeks or months to close up the accounts of the concern. The weeks have rolled by and so have the months and still the accounts of the event have not been straightened up. ELECTRIC LIGHT BILL $4000. The next announcement made was that there was trouble between the fair association and the Oakland Elec- trical Company, of which C. F. Reuter is the president and manager. The bill of the Oakland Electrical Company amounted to some $4000, and when that was presented the members of the fair association made a most strehu- ous and whole-souled objection to the amount. Director General Max L. Schlueter of the fair association de- clared he had checked up every item of the electrical work or the fair and that he could only figure about $2000, or about one-half of the amount of the bill of the company. Upon ihis asser- tion the fair association refused to pay the bill and the Oakland Eiectrical Company brought suit for the full amount. This suit is now pending in the Superior Court of Alameda County and the funds of the Oakland Street Fair Association have been attached to keep them where the electrical com- pany can get them if the court decides in its favor. But still no report has been rendered of the condition of the funds of the fair association. A meeting of the di- rectors was called for one day last week and Secretary Dave Sinclair and Di- rector General Max L. Schlueter were both present and ready with a lot of figures and accounts, but the directors were not there to listen and so the mat- ter is still up in the air and can hardly be settled until after the holidays. DEFICIT 1S CERTAIN. As a matter of fact there can be no balance on the right side of the ledger for the last street fair, and this has never been suspected before except by the very few who had to do with the management of the institution. If the Oakland Street Fair Association is able to defeat the Oakland Electrical Com- pany in its suit for $4000 there will be no balance, and if the electrical com- pany wins there' will be a deficit. It was thought when the fair closed — on the Fourth of July night that there | would be something in the neighbor- hood of $8000 profit, but this profit has dwindled untjl it has bécome a question of a suit whether there will be an even balance or an actual deflcit. The reasons for this are given by | some of those who had charge as the | long term of the fair, the small at- tendance and the increased expense. The fair ran for eleven days, which is | now said to have been entirely too! long, while the attendance was (some | 30,000 less than during the year pre- | vious. The expenses of the fair were | greater than for the year before, and | 80 the event that was so largely adver- tised proved a failure. NOTHING FOR THE ELKS. The last fair was in the hands of an incorporated association, while the first one was in the hands of the Oakland Lodge of Elks. The association was | composed almost exclusively. of those who were the managers of the first fair for the Elks, and it was under- stood that the profit was to go to the building fund of the Elks' lodge. The officers of the association were: Di- rector General, Max L. Schlueter; presi- dent, F. P. McFeeley; vice president, | A. T. McDonough; secretary, D, A. Sin- clair; treasurer, W. W. Landon; assist- ants to the director general, C. J. Heese- man and Guy T. Smith. The manage- | ment was almost exclusively in the hands of Director General Max L. Schlueter and Secretary D. A. Sinclair. | Stock was subscribed by the mer- chants of Oakland, with the under-| standing that if there was a profit the amount subscribed should be returned, but since the fair there has been no opportunity to strike a balance. Max L. Schlueter, director general of the Oakland Street Fair and Carri- val Association, sald to-night: “We have held a number of meetings since the close of the carnival, but un- til the suit of the Oakland Electric Light Company is settled we will be unable to tell how we are going to come out. “As to the condition of the finances, even with the electric company’s bill eliminated, T have not the figures at hand and cannot tell how we stand.” ——— DR. FRITZ TO BE TAKEN BEFORE FEDERAL JURY More trouble is in store for Dr. J. A. Fritz, who is now figuring in a sen- sational divorce case, and when a Deputy United States Marshal serves him with the warrant of arrest, issued last Saturday by United States Court Commissioner Heaccok, he will have to face a very serious charge. The complaint alleges that on .May 282, 1903, Fritz mailed in San Francisco a letter addressed ‘“George Marshall, Laurel Grove, Upper Fruityale, Ala- meda County,” which letter is too filthy and obscene, the complaint states, to be copied in the court rec- ord. Mr. Marshall is the uncle of Fritz's wife and the letter refers to her by the fiippant title of “Sandhill Jen,” and is of the most scurrilous and insulting nature. The charge against Dr. Fritz is that of mailing an obscene letter and Assistant United States Attorney Banning says that he will bring the case before the Federal Grand Jury, The constitutional clause prohibiting | Ethel Kent's engagement to Lieutenant persons not actually engaged in team | Gilbert Allen, also of the Nineteenth driving belonging to the brotherhood | Infantry.

Dodge, M B ACCUSE OF The recent row among the officers and directors of the Union' Laundry Company culminated yesterday in the filing of a suit by the stockholders against Pumyea Williamson; one of the directors. The suit is for an ine junction restraining Williamson from disposing of any of his stock in the concern on the ground that he obs tained it fraudulently. The suit is alsq against Mrs. Hattie Whipple, who res cently purchased stock from William« son, the court being asked to preven| ! her from selling or disposing of thd same pending the trial of the action. It is alleged in the complaint tha{ Williamson, for the purpose of securs ing control of the concern, has caused the directors to take steps that are injurious to the other stockholders, They complain that the directors, af the solicitation of Williamson, have placed in his hands large blocks of stock and that unless he is restrained he will dispose of the same and theres by injure i ant pure r In the six day bicycle races the tells terribly at the end.
