DEMANDS HER LEGACY FROM THE EXECUTOR: Woman Heir Wants Her Share of Large Santa Rosa Estate. ~ Bpecial Dispatch to The Cail. SANTA ROSA, Jan. 21.—-Miss Mary Mc- Clellan, who was left a bequest of $5000 by the late Mrs. Hannah H. Paxton, has petitioned the court for a partial distefbu- tion of the Paxton estate so that she may gecure her legacy. The executors are re- -:iung the petition on the ground that tH® estate is in litigation, that the debts have not been paid, and that there is no cash on hand with which to pay the legacy. There is considerable property belonging to the estate, but the executors claim that a partial distribution at the present time could not be made without injury to the estate. There are debts of about $40,000 to be settled as soon as there are funds available. The matter will be heard Wednesday before Judge Beawell. of the changing months. well received and is always good. is well worth your 5! and et at 2 S e ™™ | Dr. ~ FOR MISS ALICE President’s Daughter Plans to Invite Official Wash- | ington to the Ceremony TO BE BIG GATHERING Difficulty Will Be Found in Accommodating All the Guests in the White House special Dispatch to The Cail. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Although Miss Alice Roosevelt is to be married to Representative Nicholas Longworth in a month, plans for the ceremony are still i in a tentative state. For one thing, there is the matter of invitations to consider. Mrs. Roosevelt believes that the personal friends of the two families shouid receive adequate recognition and that Miss Roosevelt's hostesses of the past in varl- ous cities should not be counted out, Miss Roosevelt has been 8o extensively enter- tained that were none but these families to be invited they would fill the allotted space, Miss Roosevelt’s desire is for an official wedding. She is particularly anxious that Mr. Longworth's associates in the House of Representatives shall be considered. She contends that they will all be anxious to see their colleague married and that they ought to be asked. Miss Roosevelt wishes to be courteous to the forelgn powers and tv ask their representatives to this country, the Embassadors and Ministers, to be present with their wives. She wants the Judges of the Supreme Court also. Of course the members of the Senate would be included with those of the House. Then there is the Philip- pine party, members of which Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Longworth naturally want invited for reasons of sentiment. With a few of the most intimate friends of the bridal couple added, this list will | be almost excessive. Just what decision will be reached is a matter of conjecture, | but it is safe to say the wishes of the | bride-elect will prevail. The ceremony will be performed in the | middle east window alcove of the East | Room of the White House. This will af- | ford the best opportunity for the guests to see the ceremony. They will assemble not only in the East Room, but also in the Red Corridor, the Green Room and in the main entrance to the White House. | | PASTOR DENOUNCES A SOCIETY KIRMESS Pulpit Attack Upon Women | Fairly Bristles With | Inveetive. { phisins oeld. Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—Chicago society | was astounded to-day when it learned that the recent Kirmess had been de- | nounced by the Rev. Sydney Strong. | speaking before a large audience in the | Second Congregational Church, as the | most improper social gathering ever held in Chicago.'~in an address that fairly bristled with invective the clergyman stigmatized the society women who parti- eipated in the entertainment as ‘“half- naked, painted, sensualized creatures, full sisters to the benighted fetish dancers of | South Africa.” Strong’s excoriation of the most prominent women of Chicago’s ‘400" has created a great sensation. Those whom he singled out for attack, including Mrs. J. Ogden Armour, Mrs, Stanley Field and others of equal prominence, are indignant. | The promoters of the Kirmess, which was held two weeks ago, raised $25,000 for the Children’s Memorial Hospital. Mrs. Walter §. Brewster, treasurer of the Kirmess, declared after she had heard of Dr. Strong’s remarks that none of the dances were immodest and that the cos- tumes worn by the women who dispensed | punch complied with every rule of pro- priety. PR — UNSEASONABLE WEATHER FOR CROPS IN EUROPE Report Issued Concerning the Pros- pects for eat in For- eign Countries. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—The foreign crop report for December shows that over large areas of Europe the pre- vaillng characteristies were unseason- ably warm weather and excessiye hu- midity, Crops lightly sown have germ- inated finely and entered on the winter in strong healthy condition. Late sown crops in Europe, however, were unusu- ally extensive, and some anxlety is felt concerning them. In France the wheat area is about the average. In Germany weather con- ditions were unfavorable, and there wag no marked improvement. In Rou- mania the area under wheat is about 15 per cent short of last year. The 1905 crop is now estimated at from 50,000,- 000 to 55,000,000 bushels. The bulk of it is sald to be out of condition. hence no important export movement to north of Europe points is expected until spring. No important definite news regard- ing the condition of winter sown ce- reals in Russia is reaching the outside world. —_—————— BIG TRADE WITH BELGIUM AND THE NETHERLANDS Exports to Latter Country for Year Amount to Seventy-three Millions. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21,—According to a report of the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Agriculture, ex- ports to the Netherlands for the fiscal vear 1905 amounted to $73,000,000 and our imports $22,000,000. Our exports to Belgium in the same vear were $28,- 000,000 and our imports from that coun- try $26,000,000. The Netherlands and Belgium rank next to the United Kingdom, Germany and France in im- portance for products of the United States.. Copper exports to the Netherlands in 1905 aggregated $20,000,000, while of the imports from that country in 1905 a very large percentage were luxurfes. e e HARDWARE DEALER AND SONS TO FORM A CORPORATION Pioneer Merchant of ‘the City of SANTA ROSA, Jan. 31—The J.

LARCE WEDDING | JAPAN SOCIETY WILL - MEET THURSDAY NIGHT Club Reveals. Knowl- edge That Gives Jolt to Provincialism. High Class Musical Day Is Promised by California Club. BY LAURA BRIDE POWERS. The Japan Soclety of America, at the present moment the most interesting soclety in the West, because it opens our provincial eyes to new things and unsuspected = conditions, meets on Thursday evening at 8 o'clock at Stein- way Hall For the self-sufficient I would crave an invitation, that they might learn that in the Isle of the Rising Sun the arts. flourished when our American an- cestors were wearing bearskin breeches | and dwelling in caves—something of a shock, to be sure, but a truth we are compelled to assimilate with our provincial prejudices. . The Japan Society is the third or- ganization of its kind in the world, the parent body being located in Japan and the second in London, the latter em- bracing the intellectual and artistic sets of the English capital. The local society was organized in October with the following officers: President, Henry T. Bowle; first vice pregident, David Starr Jordan; second vicé president, Mrs. Ralph C. Harrison; corresponding secretaries, Miss Frances E. Randall, Mr. Tokumatsu Mikimoto; recording secretary, Leigh H. Irvine; treasurer, Taro Hodsumi; members of the couneil, Mrs. Bowman H. McCalla, Miss Katherine M. Ball, Mrs. Bernard O. Moses, Kisaburo Uyeno and Willis Polh, In addition to these officers of the society are exofficio members of the council. President Roosevelt recently became an honorary member, and many mem- bers of the English nobility are on the non-resident membership roll, which also numbers many prominent men and women of Boston and New York Prominent among the members are Mrs, Emma Shafter Howard, Miss Jo- sephine Hyde, Mrs. Walter Hobart, General and Mrs. C. A. Coolidge, Cap- tain Robert Fletcher, Miss Ethel Hager, Mrs. Henry T. Scott, Judge Ralph C. Harrison, Mrs. Vanderlyn Stowe, Mrs, Garret W. McEnerney, Mrs. Bernard Moses, David Walker, Mrs. Charles Wheeler, Richard Tobin, Horace Wil- son, Joseph Sadoc Tobin, Consul and Mrs, Uyeno, Richard Mansfield and Kate M. Goervey, the total membership now reaching 150. The president, Henry P. Bowie, who reads, writes and speaks Japanese, is probably the greatest authority on Jap- anese painting in the United States, hav- ing spent five years in, Japan under the most eminent masters. So successful was he that he not only took a medal at one of the national exhibitions of paintings there but he enjoys the rare distinction of having both the Emperor and Empress purchase two of his paintings, Mr. Bowle has in his residence at San Mateo a superb collection of Japanese works of art, notably some pictures of Shimada Secco, an artist of high stand- ing in his native country. Mr. Secco is at present a guest of Mr. Bowle at his San Mateo home, and will accompany his host at the gathering of the club on Thursday evening, ‘The principal address will be given by Miss Katherine M. Ball, who is sald to have gleaned much knowledge of Jap- anese art during her visit to the island. The awakening, or quickening, of art impulses is sure to follow in the wake of such an organization, dealing as it does in the philosophy as well as the theory and practice of art. These are things most needed to-day in our complex lives, that they may counterbalance the corrod- ing influences of commercialism. AN T That was a prophetic meeting of the Equal Suffrage League on Wednesday night at Golden Gate Hall. So were the speeches, mostly by men, and by men who knew what they were talking about, and were not afraid to proclaim it. Albert H. Elliot, Albert M. Johnson and Daniel O'Connell in logical fashion made clear—to all such as hadn’t -hermetically sealed their minds before coming—that there was but one side to the suffrage question—that justice demanded that sex be not a disqualifying factor in the right of franchise. Several enthusiastic Americans took part in the open discussion, including R. B. Kerr, who contrasted the legal and political position of women in this coun- try with that of England. He was greatly jurprised to discover American women suffering under injustices of laws which had long been swept off the statutes of England, such as subjection to husbands and non-guardianship of children, recall- ing the fact that in thirty-three States mothers have no legal rights in their own children. The following resolution, passed by the California State Federation of Labor, in R S we’ Seores 1, its annual session, January 4, % called forth vigorous applause: “Believing that a square deal for every man should be accompanied by a square deal for every woman, “We pledge ourselves to work for the political emancipation of the women of California, as a measure of justice, and ald to education, good laws and good gov- ernment; and as an essentlal step toward the improvement of labor conditions, fur- thermore be it “Resolved, That we pledge our sympathy and support to the equal suffrage cam- paign now pending in Oregon, which has been made possible through the enact- ment of an initlative and referendum law.” o An equally appreciative reception ted the following resolution passed by the State Farmers' Institute, in ses- sion in Berkeley the last week of Decem- “Resolved, That we, the members of the California State Farmers' Institute, heart- fly indorse the movement toward equal political rights of men and women, as founded on justice, and as tending to ad- vance the educational interests of the + “Jutice, simple justice”—that's the slo- gan cry of the equal suffragists. And to a balanced mind no stronger could be S:thl.a 5 The San Francisco Musical Club en- joved a miscellaneous programme in Cen- tury Hall Thursday, January 18.

P The Susan B. Anthony Club met at the Hotel Berkshire Monday, January 15/ at 2 p.m. Mrs. Charles Estus Worg pre- sented the club with a very handsome gavel. It was of old ivory, made in the shape of a seal's head, with gold nuggets for eves. It was adorned with a bow of yellow ribbon (the suffrage colors), which greatly tempted the president to play with the zavel. It was decided to spend fifteen minutes at the opening of every meeting In the discussion of parliamentary law. Mrs, Mary Johnson presented the club with $100, which was used for the purpose of giving the following four persons life Gor- certificated: Dr. Avery, Miss Clara M. | Schlingheyde, Miss Wheelan and Mrs. Mary Johnson.
