16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1904. HAS A CHURCH ON HIS HANDS Port Warden Nickel Learns of Oklahoman Error That Gives Him Odd Asset Free OFFICIAL IS PUZZLED Does Not Wish to Hold the House of Worship or to Sell Land That Has Value Probably the most puzzled man in San Francisco to-day is Port Warden R E. Nickel. His mental condition is e to the receipt of a letter yesterday apnouncing that he is the owner of a church edifice, a fact of which he had no previous knowledge. When he read the letter he rubbed his eyes vigor- usly and then looked a second time at tho address on the envelope. There was no doubt about it. A church has been built on a lot he owns in the town of Breckenridge, Oklahoma, and he ie either compelled to own a com- pleted church or to part with his lot. He has no desire to acquire a church that has been built with the money of & devoted congregation in Oklahoma and he does not wish to sell his real estate. The faot that a church has been placed on the lot convinces him that the location is good and cen- tral Mr. Nickel confided his quandary to several his friends along the city water front yesterday. They were in- clined at first to think the whole mat- ter the work of a etical joker, so ymususl was the story. When they 4 the letter they were convinced Mr. Nickel actually possesses the singuler distinction of being the real owner of a church building complete, the ownership going with the lot as a matter of law Nevertheless Mr. Nickel does not wish to take the struc- congregation that has the church people off to some other locality ve the problem in that me ago the Rock Island Rail- pany bad sale of lots in uniform price of $25 Mr. Nickel, who, in political position in rged a was cha = his o is editor of the Acton jlished in Los Angeles what was going on and purchased lots.

He | toid Mr. Lillenfeld to inform the jury | that the court desired it to terminate | its labors and make its report within | two weeks. It was given out by Judge Kerrigan that his reason for bringing the Grand Jury to a close was to inaugurate a new system of service. It is his pur- pose to call another at once to serve the rest of this and the first two months of next year. It is to be then disbanded and another impaneled to serve the ren:ainder of the half of the fiscal year. Judge Kerrigan wishes to arrange the sittings of grand juries so that one of the two will begin its ses- sions at the opening of a fiscal year | and the other adjourn at its end. The | law provides that there shall be two | grand juries during the year. Under this arrangement each pre- siding Judge, who serves in that hon- | orary capacity for one year at a time, will have the impanelment of two inquisitorial bodies. This largely was the end Jndge Kerrigan had in | view when he informed Lilienfeld that the present jury should bring its la- bors to a close at as early a date as | possible. The idea has been approved | by District Attorney Byington and | Judge Lawlor, who will be the next | presiding Judge Before the Grand Jury adjourned on Thursday evening Wakefield Baker | moved that steps be taken to Rave it hurs- y. He believed that the discord umong its members had created a sit- ation in which it was impossible to accomplish any further good work. He | felt t he had dome his duty, for his eftort were the best he had to put forth, though they were not altogether successtul. £ The members favored the sugges- tion of disbanding, but some of the committees protested that they could not have their report ready by next Thursday, and it was decided to post- pone adjournment for a week from next Thursday. 1t is presumed that Foreman Lilienfeld communicated this fact to Judge Kerrigan, who was guid- ed by it Lilienfeld tendered his resignation because other jurors in insulting fash- jon made ill-founded accusation against him that he had given infor- mation to the press.

There was much | acrimony over such phases, and after | adjournment Lilienfeld’'s disgust im- | peiled him to ask to be relieved of the foremanship. | —_— e RADCLIFFE JURY FAILS | TO AGREE ON VERDICT After Being Out All Night They Stand | Nine for Acquittal and Three | for Conviction. | The jury in the case of Harry Rad- | ing out all night, came into Judge Cook’s court yesterday morning and | ked for further instructions.

A. Stephens, Frederick W. ‘Wass has been found and brought to San Francisco to share in the $160,000 estate left by his brother, Dyson D. Wase, an electrical contractor who died ' intestate last spring. The brother, who has not been heard from for three years, will receive at least a fourth of the fortune, and possibly more, which he would have lost had he remained away until December 2, 3 More than sixteen years ago Freder- lcktha was adjudged an incompe- ent. son obtained letters of guardianship over him, representing that he was in- | capable of caring for his estate and had sold his interest in the property left by his father in Oregon for one- fifth of its value. A few years ago the incompetent dis- appeared. When Dyson died distant relatives undertook to get the estate, but Isabella M. Wass, a contract wife, appeared, established her status in court, and was appolnted administra- trix. In August of this year Lucretia Anderson, a remote cousin, applied to the court for letters of guardianship over Frederick, and when a was issued she reported that she was unable to serve it on the supposed in- competent because his whereabouts was unknown. Friends of the man had an idea that he was to be deprived of his inheri- tance. in the Santa Cruz Mountains and so re- ported to Attorneys Stephens and Cur- tiss Hillyer. A search was instituted and Wass was found last Friday near | Wrights, where he had been engaged | in_the making of artistic furniture. Yesterday he filed a petition in the court for restoration to competency. A similar application was made for him by W. E. Quinn, a friend, on November 3, and Judge Coffey has set November 17 as a day for hearing the petition. That he will be restcred to capacity his attorneys have no doubt. He was in their office yesterday and discussed in a manner, Mr. Stephens says, which makes it ap- parent that he is as capable and in- telligent as the average man. He has | given them information regarding fam- ily affairs covering a period of twenty years, and Stephens says there will be no difficulty in getting him at least a fourth of the estate. This opinion, says the lawyer, is shared by Attorney T. | C. Van Ness, who represents the ad- ministra =t e A man with all kinds of money usu- ally acquires a wife who develops a ma- nia for breaking up his collection. Ue for WOMEN'S 25¢ TOP COLLARS.

CONSUL TELLS ~OF CHINA'S LAW l(,‘hung Pao Shi Qualifies as Expert Witness on Ori- ental Marriage Customs | Chung Pao Shi, Consul General for | China in San Francisco, was on the | stand all yesterday afternoon in Judge Coffey’s court to tell of the marriage Jaws and customs in China. Round, rubicund, smiling, alert and garbed in a rich black brocade, he was the most interesting witness yet called in the | Chew Bing Quoia case, wherein it is ! sought to remove J. J. Cunningham, as administrator of the estate of the dead labor coatractor. The examination of the dignitary was not concluded and he will go on again to-day, as a mat- ter of courtesy, he not having been | subpenaed. The Consul General answered a few questions in English, but for the most part his testimony was given through an interpreter, who is also a person- | age—Vice Consul Owyang King, a graduate of Yale, mechanical engineer by profession, but who has been In the consular service for twenty years. In qualifyilg as an expert witness, | to the satisfaction of the court but | against the objections and keen ques- | tioning of Attorney J. E. Hill, the Con- sul General ‘sald that he was forty years old and had been born in Chinese officialdom—his father was an inspec- tor and the son was in the service as | auditor for the treasury department at | Peking. Five years ago he was ap- | pointed Consul at New York and two years ago came to his present post. In qualifying for his career he had read | all the laws of China, partly out of curiosity, as he was required to pass i no examination on law until after three years in the consular service. Attorneys Vogelsang and Dibble, who are trying to prove that the American claimant, Lum Quola, was the concu- | bine and not the wife of Quola, pro- | duced twenty-four tissue volumes, tied between polished boards and purport- ing to be the compilation of the laws | of the empire. The Consul General said they were only part of the laws. The. first volume, containing the title page, was offered in evidence and | proved the books to be “the laws writ- | ten by Emperor Sai Ching Hin, known ag ‘The Origin of Laws and Their Ex- | planations’ and also recording all the important laws made and decreed to be enforced throughout the empire up to the first year of the reign of Kung Sl’l‘he seventh volume was offered, too, and it contained the laws on marriage | apd bigamy. Among the interesting | provisions therein is that before a mar- riage the man or woman must make known to the other whether he or she is affected with any illness or deform- ity; whether born of a concubine and whether or not adopted by other mem- bers_of the same tribe. The ‘“three generations,” or lineage register, is the most important requirement of the marriage contract. It is also provided that if a man treat his wife as a con- cubine he shall be whipped with a rod 100 blows; 90 blows is the punishment if he treats his concubine as a wife, and in'either case the woman must be restored to her proper station. If a man attempts to take another wife while he has one living he shall re- ceive 90 Qlows. These laws, said the Consul General, are observed. in the empire, but minor matters in the marriage ceremony may vary. The witness added that there were no lawyers in China and when contrrversies were brought before a Judge he did all the questioning. —_——— { constant-growing force and is carried to its DIVERSIFIED FARMI} | SECOND HAND DEALER IS WICKSON'S SUBJECT | ACCUSED OF FELONY \ Lewis Epstein Is Charged With In- ducing a Young Salesman to Steal and Receiving the Goods. Lewis Epstein, a dealer in second hand hardware, 538 Mission street, was booked at the City Prison yester- day by Detectives Matheson and Braig on two charges of recelving sto- len goods.

The parcel was found to contain a box. of auger bits and a brush hook. When Epstein's store was searched about $150 worth of other articles stolen from the ware- house were found and seized. The salesman made a confession and said the stealing had been going on sinee September 1.
