FATHER GREY TEMPORARY INJUNCTION Dr. Brennan Restrained From Dis- posing of Money Pending Hear- ing of Priest’s Suit. Superior Judge Sloss yesterday granted an injunction against Dr. Thomas F. Brennan, the Crocker-Wool- worth Bank and others to restrain the withdrawal or disposition of $37,524 pending the litigation of Father P. J. Grey, who is suing for the recovery of the sum named. Father Grey is 86 years old. In 1899 his eyes’gzht was impaired almost to the point of total blindness, and, be- sides, on account of Lis great age, he was sick and feeble. e employed Dr. Brennan to treat him and the treat- ment extended to November 11, 1903. At that time Father Grey was liti- gating for an interest in certain moneys on deposit with ths Hibernta | Savings and Loan Society. Ye alleged in his complaint that Dr. Brennan falsely nted that the Hibernia was unfriendly to him and that after the sult was settled priest should withdraw his funds the from the Hibernia and deposit them 1n some other bank. Brennan even rec- ommended an attorney, it is charged, and further took advantage of the priest’'s age and mental and physical weakness. The litigation over the money closed in September, 1901, and then, acting upon Brennan's suggestion, the aged eccl tic gave the doctor a check for § 24, with the understanding, 1t is said, that the doctor should deposit the money in trust for the priest. The physician put the money in bank in his own name and Father .Grey rebelled.

They suggested that if possible the cruiser be dipped into her future element during their visit to this city on the occasion of the great con- clave, which begins Monday, September 5, and will last one week. It is not yet known just who will be present from the State of Wisconsin or its capital city, but it may be stated that some of the State officials will represent Milwaukee at the launching. It is possible that Governor La Fol- lette will attend the conclave and be on hand when the cruiser goes down the ways into the water. Among the fair women accompanying the Sir Knights from far Wisconsin will be found one worthy to spill the wine and speak the name—"“Milwaukee.” —_—————— KEEPS ENGAGEMENT RING BUT RETURNS OTHER GIFTS Miss Tewis, Who Jilted B. M. Eisner, Makes Partial Restitution in Justices’ Court. The trial of the suit of B. M. Eis- ner against Miss Flossie Lewis for the return of a diamond ring and other gifts presented to the plaintiff in hon- or of their marriage engagement was resumed yesterday before Justice of the Peace Daniels. Eisner was on the stand for an hour and was subjected to a rigid cross-examination by the defendant’s attorney, who attempted to draw from Eisner the admission that the engagement was broken for cause, owing to Eisner's alleged unbe- coming conduct. Judge Daniels ruled that such evidence would only be ad- missible in a breach of promise suit. Miss Lewis, through her attorney, offered to return three steins, a cot and ! other articles and $6 65 in cash, and Eisner accepted the offer.

There is much perturbation among the Justices of the Peace and Consta- the decision of the Supreme Court de- claring the law unconstitutional which fixed their salaries according to the population of the township for which they were elected. County Auditor Ba- con has been appealed to to know what he will do toward paying off for this month, and he has referred the matter to District Attorney Allen, who is now engaged in looking up the decision and the scope of its language. None of the Justices or Constables has been transacted during the month and many state that they will not have a cent coming to them if the de- cision is held to apply to the present month, Justice of the Peace Quinn, whose salary has been $225 a month under the law just declared void, said to-day: *“If that decision is held to apply to the present month I won't have anything coming to me.” Jus- tice of the Peace Geary said his sal- ary would not pay house rent this month. Very few of the Constables have done sufficient work to entitle them to any considerable sum. The decision means a return to the old fee system. Under it a tramp ar- rested is worth §1 to the Constable arresting him and mileagé, to the jail. Justices of the Peace collect fees for criminal cases from the county and fees for civil cases from the claimants be- fore them. The decision affects Justices of the Peace and Constables in twenty-one counties throughout the State. CILPIN OWES LARCE AMOUNT Creditors Levy Attachments on Property, but Find Little to Satisfy Them Oakland Office San Francisco Call, ¢ 1016 Broadway, July 28. Two attachments have been levied on the property of former City Treasurer Z. T. Gilpin. A blanket attachment was filed this evenimg by W. E. Dean, an assignee of Dr.. W. D. Huntington, on four pieces of property standing in the name of Mrs. May Gilpin in order to secure notes aggregating $3600. It is claimed by Dean that this property is community property and is liable for the debts of the husband, although standing in the name of the wife. The only piece of property standing in Gil- pin’s name is one piece mortgaged to the Central Bank for $4000. In the meantime there are complaints from other sources. An attachment has béen Jevied on a piece of property be- longing to Mrs. Gilpin by H. Blais, a money lender, for $1500. This note is signed by Gilpin and his wife and by George W. Johnson and his wife, Frank H. Brooks of the California Bank admits that Gilpin owes his con- cern considerable money, and it is rumored that it is as much as $10,000, although this cannot be verified. Brooks, however, states they are anx- ious to find Gilpin. Gilpin, it is supposed, is now in the hills back of Colfax, where he is in- terested in some mines. Attorney Fred L. Button, a close intimate friend of Gilpin, said: “When Gilpin left he was very much exercised over his financial affairs. What worried him the most was a large number of personal notes he had given to friends and acquaint- ances which were unsecured and which he was unable to met.” For fourteen years Gilpin was City Treasurer of Oakland, He was known as “Honest Old Zach, —_————————— Automobile in Politics.

Hearst withdrew her sup- port at the close of the last semester. This arrangement is made possible by the subscriptions of a few friends of the institution, and the means are now provided by which at least a dozen young women students may support themselves through college. Since Mrs. Hearst's announcement that she would not longer assist the school Miss Amanda M. Hicks, its man- ager, and its friends have been seeking to secure the means to continue the work. Now sufficient support has been promised to revive the school on a small scale. Twelve students will be tuken in at first, and the number grad- ually increased as the means at hand permit. In time it is hoped to admit as many as fifty students, that being the number Mrs. Hearst supported. At the time that the school was dis- continued by Mrs. Hearst it was stated that she, having spent $10,000 in four ‘years for its support, did not wish to continue her gifts becaus: the enter- prise was so expensive and did not jus- tify thz expenditures. CAPTAIN IRVINE ADMITS ORDERS WERE DISOBEYED Claims That Engineer's Mistake Caused Loss of the Steamship Colon. Another session of the United States inspectors was held yesterday in the matter of the investigation into the wreck of the steamship Colon on April 11 of this year on Remedios Reef on the Guatemalan coast. J. M. Camp- bell, second- assistant engineer, was the only new ness examined. Ac- cording to his testimony the captain, the three engineers, the first, second and third officers and the rest having anything to do with navigating the ship were cold sober, while all the whisky and champagne consumed to celebrate the wedding of First Officer Wilson was imbibed by H. G. Stevens, the storekeeper, and a few others who were hilariously drunk. The inspec- tors promised to render a decision in the near future. Captain William A. Irvine said that the engineer, W. D. Sullivan, must have misunderstood his orders to run the ship at forty-seven revolutions per minute and had gone at the rate of fifty. Owing to this variance between the order and the performance the captain was thrown out of his reck- oning. He said that the action of the engineer caused the loss of the ship. —— i ADMITS HE COMMITTED PERJURY FOR FRIEND Authorities Looking for Christianized Chinaman Who Swore Falsely to Get Return Certificate.
