Twelve of the saloon-keepers who were charged with operating the pro- scribed nickel-in-the-slot machines were before Judge Mogan yesterday. Their cases were continued until Mon- day. In all the saloons the machines are consigned to the basements. In some of the places the contrivances were rolled into the basements In no gentle manner. This because the saloon men generally desire to revenge themselves upon Schultze, the owner of the machines. They claim that Schultze has been arro- gant and insulting in his dealings with them. Proprietors of other places seem confident that they will be réstored to their places before long. District Attorney Langdon announces that they are out of commission for the next two years at least. He says that they are in open violation of section 380 of the Penal Code, and that he will firmly prosecute whoever attempts to operate them. ———— SWOOP DOWN ON GAMBLERS. Wheel-of-Fortune Game Raided and Twenty-Four Go to Prison. The activity of the District Attor- ney's office In stamping out gambling was kept up until \nearly midnight, when Assistant District Attorney Duke with a squad of policemen swooped down on a wheel-of-fortune game at 614 Jackson street and arrested twen- ty-three visitors and the conductor, Harry Ames. They were all released on bail, Ames’ bonds being $500, while each of the others was released on $10 cash. § Word was received at the District Attorney’s office late in the night that a wheel-of-fortune game was running In the rear of a cigar store at 614 Jackson street. Duke, Detective Bell and Patrolman Philip Rellly visited the place. Their presence wi quickly whispered around and the players were about to make their getaway when the police were commanded to arreat every- body. The players were given cigars when they won, which were in turn ex- the last two weeks three lots of siaves have been landed at Salina Cruz, the western port of Mexico, thence taken to Mexico City and from there to Juarez, where they were smuggled across the border into E} Paso. Young Cninese born in this country posed as the husbands of the girls until they were across the line. One lot of twenty-two girls and another of fifteen crossed in safety. Another lot of twenty await instructions at Mexico City. Their destination is New York and San Francisco. The purchase price was pald in gold as soon as they were safely across the line. The Government agents long have known that the traffic was going on, but they were unable to detect the route or method employed. —_——————— Shortage in Treasurer's Office.

HOLD CORICIL 15 A FORGERY Twelve Jurors Agree Sam- uel Davis Did Not Write| the Contested Instrument VICTORS ARE JUBILANT Applaud the Verdict, but the Bailiff Quickly Brings an End to the Demonstration After one of the most remarkable con- tests ever waged on this coast a jury sitting in Judge Kerrigan's department of the Superior Court yesterday declared the so-called codicil to the will of the late Samuel Davis to be a forgery. For eighty- eight days the jury patiently listened to the presentation of testimony and the ar- gument of counsel, and then after four hours’ deliberation reached its verdict, | ‘which was unanimous. | ‘When the verdict was annjunced the contestants and their friends, unable 1o | control themselves, broke into applause. A shout from the bailiff abrupt'y ended | the demonstration, however. Not the| least happy was Theodore Kytka, chief of | the handwriting experts for the con- testants. After he had somewhat recov. ered his composure he hurried over to George Greene, the aged colored man who had served Davis for maay years, | and gave him $100. “I will give him $500," said Kytka. “He has lost this much through the defeat of th2 codicil. and we | will see that he gets it all.” Astonisli.nent seized the aged negro, and holding fast to his money he hurried from the courtroom. As remarkable as the trial was the recommaidzar on of \he jury following the | annouacament of its verdict tha: the con- | testants Le punerous in viclory and pro- | vide for certain blood relatives of the deceased capitalist. While this recom- mendation. has no legal effect, it may ex- ert a moral influence, but as to this time will tell the story. This recommendation follows: JURY’S RECOMMENDATION. To the Honorable Frank Kerrigan, Judge of Depattment 8, Superior Court of San Fran- the undersigned members of the ctoully is case and the Sir: We, jury 4in the Samuel Davis will case res) recommend that the contestants in §ive to the children of Charles Davi grandchildren of Marletta Davis French that proportion of the estate that they would re- ceive under the original will had their fathers | survived Samuel Davis, If it is lawful for us | to_recommend ft. | E. Schmidt, Thomas P. Conlon, Henry Wet- jen, 8. M. Frank, John E. Greene, Max Cohn, T. Donovan, Ad. B. Lang, Jacob Phillips, John Higgins, Willlam Schilling, Thomas 5. Willfams, foreman. After Foreman Williams had concluded the reading of this recommendation, At- torney T. C. Van Ness, leading counsel for the contestants, informed the jurors that it had always been the intention of the contestants to take into consideration the blood rights of those that survived Davis, *We contested this codicil be- cause we believed it to be a forgery conefuded Van Ness, “but the heirs will not be forgotten. After thanking the jurors for their patience and attention during the long trial, Judge Kerrigan in~ formed them that he would aid them in escaping further jury duty for the next several vears and then dismissed them. As the jurors filed out they weré sur- rounded by the contestants, who thanked them for their action, In his_ will, which bore date of Febru- ary 21, 1898, Samuel Davis,. who died April 5, 1904, possessed of a fortune vari- ously estimated to be worth from $1.000,000 to $3,000,000, simply named Julius C.

Sub- 1 | sequent to his death there was discovered | | the codicil, which has now been declared a forgery. This instrument is as follows: San Francisco, March 17, 1004.

Now that the codicil has been defeated, providing, of course, that a retrial is not granted, the property in question will be divided as follows: Of the estate of Jane Davis, a sister of Samuel Davis, who in- herited one-half of hls estate and who died on September 19, 1904, Mary G. Stone will take one-fourth, Samuel Davis and Mary Belle Davis will take one-fourth between them, Hiram C. Davis and Sarah Louise Davis will take one-fourth be- tween them, and Edward C., George W., Willlam G. and Samuel D. French will take one-fourth between them. Of the | estate of Samuel Davis, Jane Davis will take one-half, Mary G. Stone will take one-fourth, ané Samuel Davis and Mary Belle Davis will take the remaining one- fourth between them. The remarkable feature of the contest rested in the fact that the contestants relied solely upon the evidence of hand- writing experts to prove their allegation that the codlcil was a rorgery. Theodore Kytka was tho marshal of the experts, which included Carl Eisenschimmel, Dan- jel T. Ames and others. Kytka stated yes- terday that the photographic exemplars alone cost the contestants $12,000. Kytka was twenty days on the stand, while Wil- llam J. Kinsley, chief of the experts for the proponents, was on the stand eighteen days. In addition to Mr. Van Ness the con- testants were represented by Attorneys Peter F. Dunne, C. P. Pomeroy and M. F. Michael, and the interests of the pro- ponents were in the hands of E. 8. Pllls- bury, Oscar Sutro, Garret W. McEnerney and John J. Barrett. WHOLESALE GROCERS HALED INTO COURT Claim Made That They Have Violated the Anti-Trust Laws of Ohio. COLUMBUS, Ohlo, March 2.—Attor- ney General Ellis today filed in the Cir- cuit Court here a petition to oust the Ohto Wholesale Grocers' Assoclation from its charter on the ground that it has operated in restraint of trade con- trary to the provisions of the anti- trust law. The petition is based upon the complaints made to the Attorney General that the company fixed the prices at which sugar and coffee should be sold to the retail dealers of Ohio. claimed that the operations complained of had ceased In 1905, but failed to sat- isty the Attorney General upon this point.

K. Cutting of 428 Colorado avenue, Colorado City, says that he has proved by sclentific means the théory of the Persian phil- osopher, Zoroaster, that a man has a dual or astral body. Cutting yesterday morning called Jo- seph Murphy, a brakeman, formerly of Quincy, Ill, but now a resident of. Colo- rado City, into his office for the purpose of testing his theory. A few months ago Murphy ‘lost the forefinger of his right hand in an accident at Quincy. They | went Into a dark room and Cutting asked Murphy to place by mental effort his imaginary finger upon a highly sensitized plate. After a few minutes the plate was developed, revealing the clear out- lines of the missing finger. Although fairly overwhelmed by his success, Cutting feels sure of his ground. He believes that he has proved beyond oubt the theory of the theosophists that man has a dual body existing in some sort of fluid form which becomes a coun- terpart of man when releaged by the death of the body. Cutting made his first experiment Sat- urday, when he reproduced a picture of his dead father on a photographic plate by simply holding the plate to his fore- head and concentrating his thoughts on his father's features, as he remembeled them. Cutting is a shoemaker, but his education is far beyond that of the aver- age man and he has spent several years studying along occult lines. The experiments of Major Dargets of the Polytechnic Schodl of France sug- gested to Cutting his experiments. The plcture of his father was developed and has been reproduced in the press here. ! There is much Interest in Cutting’s ex- periments and he is elated. —_—e————— PART OF A TRAIN GOES THROUGH WYOMING TRESTLE Passenger Coaches Stopped on Brink of Chasm, but Three Men Are Infured.

LOS ANGELES, March 2—The United States Government has begun a crusade which will speedily put an end to jwhat is known as the ‘“cadet system” of send- ing young girls into new mining camps for immoral purposes. For weeks the officials of the Government have been working on the matter and today the first of what promises to be a series of arrests was made when Robert Whitham, a flashily dressed young man, .was ar- rested and placed in the County Jail, a Federal prisoner. The laws of California are such that it is next to impossible to secure con- victions of .those engaged in this traffic in human beings, but the Federal’ au- thorities arrested Whitham on a charg> of using the mails for the purposs of procuring girls for immoral purposes. Warrants have been issued for the ar- rest of other persons in Randsburg aud also for personsn-certain mining. camps in Arizona. The Arizonans can be reache:l and severely punished by the tegritomal laws, Instances of young girls being induced to answer advertisements for female help at high salaries and then finding fRat they were expected to lead lives of shame in mining camps have become so numer- ous that appeals were made to the police te stop the practice. The investigation by the city authori- ties - disclosed existence of an organized gang engaged In that kind of Business. Arrests were made.. but no law was found to fit the cases. Then the United States District Attor- ney was appealed to and he put to work secret service officers. who have secured evidence against a number of gangs, and their arrests will follow as soon as they can be located. Whitham has been unable to give the $5000 bond required and remains in- jaik —_—————— ANOTHER REPRIEVE WILL BE SECURED FOR PATRICK Attorney Comvwicted of Murder Will Not Be Electrocuted om March 19.
