Judge Hebbard has taken under sub- mission on briefs the action instituted by ex-Capthin of Detectives John Sey- mour against Teresa Oelrichs and Vir- ginia Vanderbilt to recover $28,500 al- leged to be due him on a contract un- der the terms of which he was to be pald $300 a month for a period of ten Vvears as manager of the estate of the late James G. Fair, father of the de- fendants. The motion for a nonsuft made by the defendants on the ground that there was no written contract was denied by the court. “In this case,” said Judge Hebbard, “I_will accept it as a fact that there a contract. It Is not reasonable i 1 UPON CONGRESS Oceanic Steamship Company Would Save Australian Trade for American Ships LINERS NOT FOR SALE Action on Japanese Offer Will Be Governed by the Fate of the Shipping Bill T In regard to the rumor of the possible sale of the Oceanic Steamship Company’s line to a Japanese syndicate John D. Spreckels, president of the company, states that pending action by Congress on the new shipping bill now before it no action will be taken by the company to- ward disposing of its steamers, as he is extremely desirous of keeping them un- der the American flag and in the Austra- lian trade, which would be practically lost forever to American vessels if he should withdraw the Oceanic line. The attitude of Congress will largely de- termine the fate of this line. A stoppage of this mail route connection would result in the Pacific Coast trade going to Canada, which would mean & loss of over 31,000,000 annually spent in California and another million now ex- pended in railroad transportation for pas- senger, freight and mail carriage, without considering the loss to the United States generally of a fast and direct postal ser- vice under the American flag, bringing commercial n and travelers through this country from the Australian colenies and placing them directly in contact with American agricultural and manufacturing interests. YOUNGSTER CONTE GRANDMOTHER’S WILL Makes Allegation That De- ceased Was of Unsound Mind. Little Russell Swett Bacon, five years of age, has appeared in the Probate Court as a contestant to the will of his late grandmother, Sarah F. Swett. Mrs. Swett died on November 29, 1905, leav- ing a will bearing date of February 20, 1899. In it she provided that her estate should go in equal shares to Lucy F. Swett, her daughter, and Dan S. Swett. After the execution of the will the | daughter married William R. Bacon and to them was born the son Russell, who now appears as the contestant. Then Mrs. Bacon died, preceding her mother to the grave. On December 18 last her will was admitted to probate and In it little Russell was not mentloned, no codicil having been executed after- his birth. It is to get his mother’s share®in his grandmother’s estate that the boy has filed the contest. He alleges, through his father, that at the time the will was executed the testatrix was of un- sound mind and had been so for years before. The estate involved is worth about $60,000. — e Argue “Chil abor Law.” *The question as to the validity of the “child labor law” was argued before the Supreme Court yesterday. The Jus- tices ordered the case submitted on briefs and reserved their decision. The action resulted directly from two peti- tions for writs of habeas corpus in favor of J. M. Spencer and Henry Web- er. The petitioners were held for trial before the Superior Court on account of their connection with the Dispatch, an explosion on board of which caused the death of one boy and the injury of several others. —_——————e Homicide Gets New Trial. The Supreme Court granted a new trial yesterday to Charles La Mar, who was convicted of the murder of Thomas Delaney in a Mojave brothel about two years ago. The defendant was sen- tenced to ten years' imprisonment by the lower court. He appealed on the ground of self-defense, and his argu- ments are sustained. e A e " Weather Report.

J. Gottlob, manager of the Columbia Theater, left New York on Saturday for this city. He spent a fortnight in the metropolis booking new attractions for the Columbia, and incidentally booming this city. The coming season at the Co- lumbia promises to be one of the most prosperous in the history of that play- house. Gottlob succeeded in signing up all the new star attractions for his playhouse for the coming season. The playgoers of this city will have a chance soon to en- joy the latest New York hits. All the new plays that have scored a success in the East will find their way out here un- der Gottleb's direction, the first of which will be ‘“The County Chairman,” which opens in two weeks, Gottlob does not like the idea of the Eastern theatrical managers addressing letters to this eity as Frisco. He made a complaint to Henry Savage, the pro- moter, telling him to refer to the metrop- olis of the Paciflc Coast as Ban Francisco in future, and Savage gave orders that hereafter on all letters going out from his. 'd’:rmmlnt the name of the city must be itten out in full, instead of the ab- breviation, which has come into use so much in the East of late. “There will be lots of letters for the girls in the ‘Woodland’ and ‘County Chairman’ companies,’ Gottlob says in a letter, “and I would like to ses them ad- dressed in the proper form. The girls are sure to receive at least a thousand mis- sives during their stay in our city, and it does not please us a bit to see their mail addressed to the ‘Columbia Theater, Fris- co, .’ There is no excuse for people trying to slight our great city, and I am doing all I can to have this wrong righted.” —_——— REFUSES TO ALLOW MESSENGER BOY TO GO ON PROBATION Judge Cook Says Lesson Must Be Taught and Sends J. E. Howard to Whittier School. J. E. Howard, a messenger boy, 18 years of age, who pleaded gullty in Judge Cook's court to a charge of fel- ony embeszzlement, appeared for sen- tence yesterday. On October 26 he dis- appeared with $200 intrusted to ‘'him while he was employed by the Califor- nla Messenger Service. He was appre- hended in Los Angeles. An effort was made to Induce the Judge to allow Howard to go on pro- bation, but it failed. Judge Cook re- marked that to permit him to go on probation would be no punishment at all. It was necessary to make an ex- ample of him to deter other boys from doing the same thing. Messenger boys must be taught that they cannot run away with other people's money with- out paying the penalty for it, said the court, Howard's age was given as 18 and he was ordered committed to the Whit- tler Reform School till. he was 21, which would be practically a sentence of three years.

Croce flled suit yesterday agalinst Charles Ferrogioro, their partner In the retail and wholesale liguor business, for an account- ing, The plaintiffs allege that the defendant has appropriated $1000 of the firm’s {ncome to his own use and refuses to make an account- ipg.
