The sum paid for the land is not given out. It appears that the pur- chases of the Assoclated Ofl Company at Coalinga, coupled up with the big deals by which the Standard Oil Com- pany pays $1,000,000 in round figures and the California Oll Flelds Limited ot London pays more than $2,000,000, and deals by the independent producers in the last few months, bring the deal- ings in Coalinga oll lands within a year somewhere between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. Another deal is in progress, so it is reported, covering which no authentic information has been given out by any of the parties interested. The Associated Oil Company will put five strings of tools at work at Coalinga on its newly acquired property at once. The company, Which controls 70 per cent of the producing territory of ti Kern River district, will put down fifty new wells this year, and will also open up a new field In San Luis Obispo County, near Edna Station, where a tract of 200 acres has been acquired.

Miss Merani Still| in Lead for the Gold Prize The gold prize contestants will please pause long enough in their pursuit of the potent dollars to quaff a toast to the “Father of His Country,” who wase “first in peace, first in war and first In the hearts of his countrymen.” George Washington, in whose honor the 22d of February has been celebrat- ed by grateful countrymen for more than.a hundred years, was first In many things, but with all due reverence to the memory of the first President of the republic, the forémost question that is agitating a good many readers of The Call today i ‘Who is going to be first in the gold prize contest after all the votes are in? | Miss Norma Merani, the representa- tive of the Italian colony in the con- test, still is first in the hearts of her countrymen, so far as the outcome of this contest is concerned. She also re- mains first In this period of the race for the coin, though she registered not a single vote yesterday. Both she and Mrs. Doherty, who is first in the hearts of her fellow townsmen in the capital city of the State, have remained at a standstill during the last twenty-four hours, but either of them is likely to establish a new highwater mark be- fore another day is done. Sacred Heart College, which has been sauntering along as No. 3, is beginning to make up lost ground by steady gains every day. The students have a con- test of their own to see who can se- cure the most votes for the college in the gold prize contest. Brother Lewis is giving liberal prizes to the lads who do the most effective work in helping to swell the library fund of the col- lege through the opportunity given by The Call. The college registered a gain of 8700 yesterday, but yet has a wide gep to fill before catching up with Mrs. Doherty or Miss Merani. | Miss Emilie Hayward has enlisted | the leading men's clubs of San Fran- cisco in her behalf, and is increasing | her score by leaps and bounds. she‘ ARGUE SUIT BROUGHT T0 SECURE STANFORD FUND Legal Points in Regard to| Charges of Fraud Are Threshed Out The demurrer ‘of the defendants in| the action instituted by Annie F. Stan- | ford, widow of Asa P. Stanford, against| the executors of the will of Jane L. Stanford to collect $608,000 alleged to| be due under an agreement made with Senator Stanford before his death, was argued yesterday in Judge Seawell's court. The suit is based on the alleged agreement of Senator Stanford to al- low his brother a certain monthly sum in consideration of his retirement as a director of the Central Pacific, and to turn over certaln stock at the time of | his death. This agreement later under- went several modifications, and Asa Stanford finally assigned his entire in- terest to Mrs. Leland Stanford for $10,- 000. Asa Stanford died in 1905 and his widow claims he was deprived of his rights through fraud and fear exercised by Senator and Mrs. Stanford. Her suit is to recover under the terms of the original agreement. Judge S. F. Leib of San Jose, who appeared with Mountford S. Wilson as counsel for the executors, argued in favor of the demurrer. He claimed that the statute of limitations had run against the demand and that it was void through laches, that no offer had ever been made to restore the $10, 000 | paid in settlement of the claim asnlnut the estate, and that the widow of Asa Stanford had no right of action, as an action based on fraud is not assignable. Attorney Cameron H. King urged in behalf of Mrs. Annle Stanford- that she had a right in equity regardless of whether she could recover at law. He asked permission to submit the case regarding the statute of limitations on briefs. The permission was granted, and the case taken under submission until the briefs are flled, when it will be taken under consideration for judg- ment by the court. e GENERAL EXHIBITION HELD BY SKETCH CLUB Pine: Collaétion of Tioeal| Artists’ Work Opened to the Public The Sketch Club exhibition of paint- ings opened yesterday afternoon for private view. The rooms of the Se- quoia Club, adjoining the quarters of the Sketch Clyb at 1625 California street, were lent for the occasion. The president, Miss Anne M. Bremer, and the members of the club acted as host- esses and téa was served. In spite of the rain about 200 people came in dur- ing the afternoon and all seemed to be of the opinion that it was one of the best general exhilbtions ever held in San Franciseo. The Sketch Club includes almost all the women artists of the city. Its ex- e in past years been only for members, but in view of the di rupted condition of the city, the artists being scaftered and the facilities for exhibiting work no longer what they were, the members of the Sketch Club decided to extend & general invitation to all the men and women artists of the city. The response has been quite general, and the amount of work sub- mitted has been so great that much has been rejected simply because of lack of room. Among the artists outside of the club who have contributed are Keith, Mathews and Mrs. Richardson. The exhibition will be open to the public from 1 to 5 every day, includ- ing Sundays. ——————— EARTHQUAKE AT SEA Crew of the Schooner Melrose Feel Temblor Off San Francisco ASTORIA, Feb. 21.—The schooner Melrose, which arrived here last even- ing from San Pedro, reported that on Sunday, February 3, while off San Francisco about fifty miles, an earth- quake shock was experienced at 10:30 o'clock in the morning, which lasted for several minutes.
