Leake, administrator of_the ' estate of Josephine Dunsmuir, deceased widow of the late Alexander Dunsmuir, have met final defeat in the Superior Court-in their effort to recover g portion of the estate of the dead millionaire. After. three in- effectual attempts to state a cause of ac- tion against the Pacific Improvement Company, -which, the - plainuffs allege, holds property:of the deceased worth 38,- 000,000, Judge Coffey yesterday denied their counsel further _opportunity §nd sustained” a demurrer to the complaint | without leave to amena. Edna Wallgce Hopper ‘and assoclate plaintiffs first sought to recover by ap- plying to the.Probate Court for an order revoking a prior order admitting to pro- bate a certifled copy-of the will of Alex- ander Dunsmuir, in which James Duns- muir, a brother of the deceased, was named as sole devisee. Judge Coffey granted the motion and directed that the | original will; of the deceased be removed from the records of British Columbia and flled in this city. Had this ruling been sustained it” would have permitted the contest of, the jnstrument, the plaintiffs | contending that when it was drawn Alex- ander Dunpsmuir was not of sound mind. The Supreme Court, however, reversed | this ruling and pointed out that if any | remedy | plaintiffs to carry through their inten- existed that would enable the tions it lay in a different forum and that an action in equity alone would lfe, pro- viding a cause of action could be stated. | As James Dunsmuir has néver been with- n the jurisdiction.of the court it became necessary to join' as deferidant the Pa- cific Improvement Company, which, it | was alleged, held all of the property of the deceased ‘within this State. The action in equity was instituted, but demurrers to the original and the first complaints were sustalned. Again the complaint was amended, but | for the third time Judge Coffey has de- cided that it did not state facts sufficfent to constitute a cause of actfon against the Pacific Improvement Company and sustained a demurrer to the same without leave to amend. An appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court, but Charles “S. Wheeler, counsel for James Dunsmuir, is confldent that Judge Coffey will be finally sustained. — e Champagne and Soclety. The connection between the two is cxplained in t week's Town Talk. The Spectator tells why soclety is agi- tated over the coming of a wine agent. There is a letter in this week's paper ffom a daughtet of ome of the oldest and wealthiest Callfornia familles, tn | which she complains of the torpid fe- males of soclety who “think of nothing but the finery on their own backs and nothing for that of nature.” The Spec- tator tells why a leader of fashion wore gloves at dinner. He discusses Califor- nia Club politics and the candidates for resident. Democritus discusses the foro massacre. Theoddre Bonnet tells of the great poetic drama that has been written by Louis Robertson and gives some samples of the bard's impe- rial verse. Harry Cowell’s essay, “The Worker in Words,” should be read by every person with literary aspirations. ————— Navarre Receives Sentence.

While Awaitt'né Coffee They Are Ordered to Withdraw. All Aver That Slapped One Did Nor Bize, but Wailed. BY JAMES C. CRAWFORD. Peter Durgan, steward at the Golden West Hotel, did not deny that he slapped the face of Miss. Lizzie O'Con- nell, a pretty chambermaid at the same hostelry, but he displayed a mutilated hand and informed Police Judge Short- all that the wounds were made by Miss O’Connell's inelsors, viciously applied, Wwhich he could prove if he were given time to. summon witnesses. how a continuance of the case until this morning came to be ordered, Battery is the charge against Mr. Durgan, and Miss O/Connell and five of her sister chambermaids swore that he committed it just as her complaint al- leged. The fair half-dozen went to the dining-room to get their matutinal cof- fee and a waiter Instructed them to sit at a certain table, which they did. While there seated and ere tha coffee was served Mr. Durgan appeared and coarsely commanded them to “Get out e a— + o’ that,” at the same time, in ungentle tonei remarking that he liked the “gall” ‘which bad led them to imagine they could sit with impunity et & table reserved for guests exclusively. When told that they had been escorted to that par- ticular table by the waiter, Mr. Dur- gan sald he admired the waiter’'s “gall” also, but gualified the sarcasm by an- nouncing his disbelief that the walter did any such thing. Miss O'Connell's mild protest #kainst helng Indirectly accused of prevarication drew upon her the face slap alleged in her complaint. Yes, it was a severe slap.: No, she did not bite his hand, but just went into the pantry, lay-down upon the floor and | wept. It may not be amiss.to state that prior to the face-slapping three of the ladies left the table, the.trio remaining being Misses O’Connell, Mealey ‘and Hilt, all of whom have-since resigned their service in the Golden West Hotel, because, as Miss Mealey explained, they could not preserve their self-esteem and stay in the vlekytne of such a steward. Mr. Durgan did not, disclose either the numerical strength or the social status of the witnesses he holds in re- serve, but even money was offered that be cannot offset the testimony adduced for the prosecution. . e e Three able-bodied patrolmen—Clancy, Winzler and., McCormick—found . their united prowess *mone too formidable to overcome the resistance to arrest in- dulged in by Leon Levijtan, second-hand clothes dealer. on' Howard street, be- tween Fifth and-Bixth, and when he was finally subjugated they realized they had. been wrestling. “ Mrj Levitan's outdoor display of goods included several rain coats which flopped in the faces of<passing -pedestrians, and when Informed that he was violating the ordinance which prohibits blockading of sidewalks he laughed in’scorn and pre- pared for battle. . Judge Conlan pronounced: him,guilty of having defled the sidewaik-preservation law, the policeman magnanimously de- clining to prosecute him for his resistance of “their authority. s . David Newman ‘and C.-R..Owenby were fellow-workmen in the . United ‘Carrlage Company’s stables, on Natoma street, and Mr. Newman, being a union member and Mr. Owenby being unattached to a:labor organization, they engaged in debate and eventually quarreled, the result’ being that Mr. Newman had Mr. Owenby ar- rested for exhibiting a deadly weapon, whereupon Mr.. Owenby. 'retaifated by having Mr. Newman arrested ona similar charge. The case against_ Mr. Owenby was taken under advisément by Judge Shortall, and to Judge Mogan was as- signed the case against Mr. Newman. - “When 1 saw he was going to show a &un,” sald Mr, Owenby to the latter mag- Istrate, and alluding to Mr. Newman, “I beat him to it and made the first flash.” “Oh, you also displayéd a revolver?” said his Honor. “Yes,” replied Mr. Owenby; “I beat him to it.” ‘“‘Case dismissed, pronouncement.. s ‘et al e / It looked. like & commonplace. case of “beating room rent’’ until'the inadvertent revelation that the defendant was a ‘chauf- feur who aroused from-languor the chair- warmers, but they did not, really sit up and take notice until it was disclosed that he “chaffs” for Joseph Tobin.

The auditors who seémed to be the least. moved by the recountal were the seven defendants and some other men whose pecuniary well being would not be enhancéd by enforcement of the legal restrictions on *“‘the game.” 8o violent did Mrs.. Tennebaum'’s grief become at one time that the Judge con- slderately suggested that she retire be- yond. hearing. of ‘the agonizing: detalls, but her attorney, Mr. Nagle, sald she desired to be present throughout the examination, so she remained and bravely endeavoredl to maintain com- posure while the police officer concluded his testimony. 5 How little the jostling throng was impressed by the mother's, woe became apparent -wl'n there was even remote provocation to smile. For Instance, when “Eddie” Graney was summoned to the witness stand there was an audible chuckle, and when he sald his baptis- mal name was Edward, and not Ed- mund, the anticipatory grin exploded in a guffaw. “None of that,” sharply shouted the Judge. “The court wtll not tolerate levity here. : Mr. Bailiff, see that proper order is kept.” And the bowed woman silently wept. All the men accused of “killing and slaying without malice” were present. Attorney Porter Ashe répresented Frank James Neil, John Robert Frayne, Timothy McGrath and James Kelly (Curtin)—while Colonel Choynski pro- tected the interests of Willlam Roche, Thomas Burke (Thomas Hyland) and Mark Shaughnessy (Frank Connolly). The father of “Frankie” Nell sat with the lawyers. Assistant District Attor- ney Bert Rogers conducted the prosecu- tion. The witnesses examined were Police Captain Duke, Police Lieutenant Mc- Manus, Edward Matthew Graney, James W. Coffroth, Miss Louise 'Letcher and Chiet of Police Dinan. Lieutenant McMAnus said he was at the contest to stop it if it were brutal, and when Mr. Ashe asked him, “Was there no brutality?” the court sustained the prosecution’s objection to the query as improper. Graney said he was president of the Associated Athletic Clubs, under whose auspices the contest was held,’ but he had not seen the articles of agreement. Asked as to who the other officers of the club were he avalled himself of the right given him by statute to refuse to answer any‘question that might inerim- inate himself. Mr. Coffroth tegtified he was treasurer of the.club and h®d seen-the articles of agreement -in his office,” but did not know what became of them. 3 Chief Dinan swore that on February ADVERTI SKIN ECTEMA IV WORST FORM Black Splotches Al -Over Face — Produced Severe ltching—Year's Treatment hy- Physicians Did No Good and Became Despondent— Affected Parts Now: Clear as Ever — Nlabama Lady's CURE BY THE CUTICURA -REMEDIES — 3 '015)0 en These suits for young men between the ages of 14 and 19 years are cull and made after the same style you find in ouf Mep's Suits.

The evidence was permitted, though, on the ground that it was ad- missible on the theory, contended for by the prosecution, that the certificdte in ' question -was fictitious and was known to Have been such by the parties ‘| board.

All of this he demonstrated yesterday In considerably less time tham it takes to tell it. * He had carried his baggage on board |- the liner during the morning and put in the hour or so between then and salling time, taking lttle excursions up and down the wharf. When he returned from his last perambulation . he found the gangway had been hauled in; all lines cast off and the Korea some twenty feet from the wharf, backing into the stream.
