It as reported early today that Wilson had forwarded his resigna- {tion to Governor Gillett, but if he did |80 the document has not yet reached the executive office. There are not a few of the legisla- tors here who believe that Wilson in | st effort to grab something that {dia not belong to him planned to put | {up a fight, not in the hope of retaining | {office, but to place some friend in a| |position to collect a fee from the state | | tor Jesal services rendered him. Wilson is keen after money and it {18 whispered around that after careful study he became convinced that there was still another chance for him to add to his horde of ill gotten gains, He would demand a hearing before | | the legislature and at the conclusion, | when the verdict went against him, as it certainly’ would, his legal adv | would be allowed a fee for his services. 1f Wilson's plans did not go amiss the attorney would not retain all of the| tee, for Wilson would make a desper- ate effort to separate him from part of | 1t. | BURCHARD MAY APPEAR That Wilson had some such plan in | view as late as Sund: afternoon is known. Daniel Webster Burchard, at | one time aistrict attorney of Santal | Clara county, and now a member of the city and county attorney’s staff in San Francisco, informed a friend Sun- day that Wilson had asked him to rep- resent him before the legislature. While Burchard did not say that he had agreed to take up W case, he | 8ave the impression that he would ap- pear before the legislature in behalf | of the confessed boodler. The Wilson matter hardly will be reached before Wednesday, and it is | not-unlikely that before then his resig- nation wiil be in the hands of the gov- | ernor. To force a hearing of the charges of corruption and incompe- tency will have but one result—delay in the work of the legislature. “Wilson will have to go,” is the ver- dict of every legislator at the state capital tonight. There is not one of them to say a kind word for him; in fact, they belleve that expulsion from office is too light a penalty. But while none of them feel that he is justly en- titled to consideration at the hands of the legislature, it is equally true that few of them wish to deprive him of a hearing if he wants one. On one thing they.are all agreed, and that is that not one cent of the state’s money will ever find its way into the pockets of the attorney who defends him. If he insists on having a hearing it will be granted him, but he must defray all his own expenses. WILL LOSE NO TIME In order that ne time will be Jost in dealing with Wilson about 20 mem- bers of the legislature conferred with Governor Gillett yesterday and made the necessary arrangements to speedily | dispose of the case, for no long drawn- out examination will be tolerated. At ‘Xhe conclusion of the conference Assem- | blyman Grove L. Johnson of Sacra- mento was instructed to draft a con- | current resolution to.be presented this morning when the legislature con- venes. The resolution will provide for the appointinent of a committee of six, three members from each house. This committee will be vested with all neces- sary powers and may summon wit- nesses, administer oaths and call for books. 2 Immediately after the appointment of the joint committee Wilson will be notified to appear. to answer the charges made against him in the gov- 1a g son’s . 2 ) " SN = % sne i S - — % PRICE FIVE CENTS. - PROSECLTION INTERESTS SUARDEL '‘Governor Insures | Protection by ‘ Measure |Superior Courts Given Holiday Dispensation Gillett Will Watch Every Move, He Says | Ciaims to Own Mansion of Mrs. Huntington = and Gompers Laughs | From Penitentiary New York Tax Title Sharp Feasts His Eyes on the Beautiful Fifth Avenue Home AL DISPATCH TO THE CALL NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—Daniel Eich- mer haunts the vicinity of Mrs. C. P. Huntington's handsome mansion at Fifty-seventh street and Fifth avenue, feasting his eves upon what he claims as his property. The young man makes a business of attending city tax sales and picking up bargains. Two years ago he bought 200 parce! in this way by paying the taxes due. If the property so bought is not re- deemed within two fars, the tax pur- chas gets a firm grip upon it and causes no end of trouble for the actual owiner. Eichmer pald the accrued taxes Mrs. Huntington's property. He says the amount was $2,000, and that, owing to the owner's fallure to pay within two years, he holds a lease upon the property for 1,000 years. & “I'm trying to evict Mrs. Huntington,” sald Eichmer today without a smile. “But I can find no one to serve the papers on. If Mrs. Huntington wants to retaln her house she will have to buy it from me. My, wouldn’t it be a rise in the world to have the Eichmers move in. And we surely will unless Mrs. Huntington agrees to my terms.” Mrs. Huntington admitted to a re- porter that she knew of Eichmer's claim, but denied that he had a valld tax title to her property. “It was all a mistake,” she said. on ——— WILL ABANPON HEALTH CAMP AT INDIO, CAL. St. Louis Philanthropist Gives Up Enterprise on Account of Un- satisfactory Conditions LOS ANGELES, Nov. 18.-—After five years of philanthropic effort directed toward the cure of consumptives, N. O. Nelson of St. Louis, a capitalist who established a health camp at Indio, Cal, where hundreds of patients have found health and improvement, is said to have decided to abandon the under- taking. 4 ST. LOUIS, Nov. 18.—The anneunce- ment from Los Angeles that N. O. Nel- son of St. Louis had decided to abandon the health camp at Indio was confirmed at Nelson's office today. At present he is traveling in the south. Some time ago he sent John A. Senkosky, auditor of his St. Louis office, to investigate and report on the conditions pertaining at the health farm. Upon receiving Sankosky's report that no effort had been made to improve the conditions that had been unsatisfactory to Nelson Continued on Page 5, Col. 4 the philanthropist decided to withdraw his support > iLeaders in Legislafure | Ready for Caucus Today : oy, By George Van Smith SACRAMENTO, Nov. 18— lIn:auramcc against the possibility | of interference with the progress } i | of the graft prosecution in San Francisco is the purpose of a gew section which Governor Gillett { had written into the bill for the amendment of the code of civil | procedure relating to the trans- action of judicial business om | special holidays.

F. of L Session Quenched by Practical Jokers | NORFOLK, Nov. 18.—The most sensa- tional incldent in the sessions of the American federation of labor occurred today when Victor L. Berger made an impassioned speech advocating a reso- lutlon he had offered asking the federa- tion to oppose organized militla and favoring the arming of every sober and reputable citizen of the United States so as to be able to resist the militia. Berger claimed the militia was not intended to defend the country against foreign foes, but to control the masses at home and to back up the strike breakers. Immediately following the announce- ment of Delegate Berger came a suc- cession of explosions in the rear of the hall, which were caused by the burst- ing of inflated paper bags. The effect of this demonstration was instantan- eous, even President Gompers joining in the laughter caused by the mock bombs. Berger's resolution was classed as pis- tol legislation and was defeated. AT R Ve, SEVERE EARTHOUZKES ~ JMILL AOCK GALABRIA REGGIO DI CALABRIA, TItaly, Nov. 18.—The province of Reggio di Calab- ria was visited by another severe earthquake at 2:20 this afternoon. It was especially severe at Branchaleon, Feruzzano and Bianco, and a number of houses were shattered or damaged. The people who had summoned up courage to return to their homes after the earthquake of October 27 again be- {came panic stricken and fled a second time to the country. Some of them are camped tonight In the open air, while others have taken refuge in sub- terranean. grottos. Men and women, rich and poor, priests and soldiers, are thrown - together, and the devout are raising prayers to the Madonna and the saints to succor them in their mis- ery. fThe gravity of the situation is increased by the inclemency of the weather. ' A second vlomt shock was experi- enced in this to at 3 p. m. The peo- ple were thrown Into a state of con- sternation, which was added to by th stories of further damage at Feruz- zano. Assistance has been sent to that place. \ 1 ‘DENIS COSTIGAN DEAD NEW YORK; Nov. 18.—Denis Cos- tigan, for many years a well known figure in sporting circles, died today of consumption in the ‘Metropontxn ital on Blackwells island.
