SAN MATEO, May 17.—St. Marga- | ret’s School for young ladies held com- mencement exercises in Troebel Hall this, morning. Bishop Nichols of the Protestant Episcopal church awarded the diplomas to the two graduates, Miss Anna Bella Dickie and Miss Laura Dickson Reynolds, both of San Mateo. Both young ladies had pre- pared original essays, which were pro- nounced by the Bishop and others as greatly excelling the average produc- tions on such occasions. Miss Reynolds is now hailed as a poet. Her verses on “The Poets Lau- won the highest praise. Miss Dickie's subject was “‘Celebrat- ed Literary Friendships,” and was scarcely less meritorious than some of her father's splendid efforts. —_—————— FRUIT RANCH AMONG THE WEDDING PRESENTS Walter B.

LOCKED OUT Warehousemen of Stockton Act Promptly When Men Refuse to Handle All Goods EMPLOYES ARE WARNED Association Notifies the Men of Conditiens Under Which They May Return to Work e PGS STOCKTON, May 17.—All the union longshoremen employed in local mills !and warehouses were locked out by their employers at the close of the day’s work this evening. The decision was arrived at at meeting of the local Millers’ and War housemen’s Association held to-day The action grew out of the strike of the longshoremen in the warehouse of F. E. Lane yesterday and is the out- growth of the Holt strike. Early in the strike of the employes at the Holt factories the Stockton Transfer Com pany was ordered by the Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Association, of which nearly all local employers are members, to haul material for the Holt the transfer company and the Holt company existing before the strike. The transfer company hauled for Holt and was declared unfair by the labor unions. Several minor strikes occurred through the union men refusing to work on material delivered by the transfer company. Yesterday the | transfer company delivered some grain bags and twine at Lane's warehouse and the longshoremen employed in the warehouse struck at once. ° The millers and warehousemen re- alizing that, if they were to have a struggle with the longshoremen, it was better to have it now tHan later on when the new grain begins to come in, met this morning. The following was adopted by the employers: “Resolved, That unless the men sign an agreement before 7 a. m, May 19, to handle any and all goods coming to or going from all warehouses and mills, no matter by whem hauled or deliver- ed, then the members of this associa- tion are hereby instructed to employ all men necessary to conduct their business.” It is believed in some quarters that the trouble growing out of the Holt strike has now reached an acute stage and that a general strike in this city will result. Others assert that the trouble will be settled without other industries becoming involved. ————— FIGHTING FOR E OF LATE ATE JAMES LULL Sisters of Testator Charge That At- torney Bridgeford Conspired Against Them. SAN JOSE, May 17.—The contest of the will of the late James Lull began before Judge Hyland in the Superior Court this mosning. Lull died in this county on November 24 last, leaving an estate consisting of notes and mortgages of the value of $7000. By the terms of the will $2900 was left to the children of E. A. Bridgeford of Cakland. A former wife of Lull was provided for and the rest of the es- tate was divided among several other persons not relatives of the testator. Mrs. Turman and Mrs. Platt, sisters of Lull, were ignored in the will, and they are contesting the instrument. The contestants allege that the will was procured under undue influence on the part of E. A. Bridgeford, who was the confidential adviser and at- torney of Lull. They allege that their brother was addicted to the use of drugs and intoxicants and was in- capable of transacting any business. In proof of this they state that the father of the testator, Dr. Almon Lull had prior to his death created a trust for the benefit of James Lull, by which the $7000 was invested for his bene- fit. They also charge Bridgeford with trying to induce Lull to enter into a scheme to have the trust set aside. Bridgeford denies all these charges and charges that the making of the will as it was by the testator was be- cause the contestants were unkind and lacking in sisterly regard for their brother. Lull was convicted in this city a few years ago of forging checks and sent to San Quentin. He had also been in prison before for the same of- fense. There is a big array of legal talent in the case.
