CLAUS SPRECKELS
RESENTS INSULT
Sues W. R. Hearst for An
other Libelous Pub
lication.
Andrew M. Lawrence and C. S.
Aiken Also Named as
Defendants.
Published in the "Examiner" a Malig
nant Paragraph Prom the Peta
luma "Courier."
Clati3 Spreckeis has instituted an action
against the Examiner for $1,000,000 dam
ages on account of a false and libelous
publication which appeared in that paper
on the 7th of last month. The suit is di
rected against W. K. Hearst, proprietor;
A. M. L.wrence, managing editor, and
Charles S. Aiken, assistant editor of the
Examiner.
The article of which Mr. Spreckeis com
plains is short, but its venom is disclosed
by the heading that was added by the
editors of the Examiner. Following is
the malignant -.creed which was clipped
from the Petaluma Courier, to which ob
jection is made:
HIS BUSY IIU.
Claus Spreckeis has a $5000 bathtub and a.
business reputation that needs Its constant
and uniiterrupted use for several years.—
luma Courier.
In presenting his case to the court Mr.
SprecKels recites the fact that he is ex
tensively engaged in business in the
United States, Germany. England, the
Hawaiian Islands and elsewhere, includ
ing, in tact, the entire mercantile world,
and that the publication above referred to
was issued by the defendants maliciously
and contrary to the law for the purpose
and with the intent to injure the plaintiff
in his business reputation and standing;
that the publication is not privileged aud
was not published for justifiable or proper
ends.
Mr. Spreckeis says that the Examiner
has a circulation in the places where he
is engaged in conducting his extensive
business affairs and that it was intended
by the publishers thereof to injure him
hy said publication and to hold him up
to scorn and obloquy. i
Taking into consideration the vast in- j
terests involved and the base motives of
the defendants in giving this paragraph i
io the world, Mr. Spreckeis thinks that he
is entitled to $1,000,000 for the injury to
his reputation aud .is feelings and for
mat sum he sues. Mr. Spreckeis has
pending another suit for $1,000,000 against
the Examiner because oi a lormer libelous
publication.
Grove L. Johnson, Walter, H. Linforth
and George E. Whitaker are attorneys for
the i laintiff.

MORE HOPE, BUT
STILL DANGER
Colonel Crocker's Condition
Shows Some Slight
Improvement.
He Can Move His Eight Arm
and His Slumber Is Quiet
and Normal.
If He Can Hold Death at Bay for
Seventy-two Hours His Physicians
Will Peel Encouraged
SAN MATEO. Cal., July 13.— "There
has been some slight improvement in
Colonel Crocker's condition," said Dr.
Matthew Gardner at 10 o'clock to-nicht,
"but it is not pronounced. Ko danger
ous symptoms have exhibited themselves
and his general condition is favorable.
While his case is still very serious, if he
continues to hold his own as ha has lor
the next forty-eight or seventy-two hours
we will be more encouraged than we have
yet been.
"The colonel has held his own very well
to-day, and especially this evening. He
takes his food well and rests well. Of
course, in this form of trouble we cannot
foretell the outcome. While the colonel's
condition is not hopeless by any means, it
is still very serious."
Dr. Gardner's statement was made at
the conclusion of the attending physi
cians. Dr. Whitwell, who was present
during the early part of the consultation,
had to leave ear.ier than usual, and soon
after he left Dr. MacMonagle arrived and
remained with Drs. Gardner and Chis
more for an hour or more.
"Dr. Chismore is especially hopeful to
night." said William H. Crocker late this
evening, "and he expresses himself as
very much pleased with the colonel's
progress during the day."
At 8 o'clock this morning the physi
cians held their regular consultation, and
their reports encouraged the members
quite considerably. The colonel had passed
a comparatively easy night and his condi
tion this morning was such that Dr.
Uardner thought he could safely leave the
patient for several hours. He left shortly
alter noon for San Francisco and did not
return to ban Mateo until 5:20 o'clock
this evening. This was the lirst time Dr.
Gardner had leit the colonel since he whs
first '-.trick en, and this was regarded as a
very reassuring indication that no imme
diate danger was apprehended. Drs. Chis
more and MacMocagieafso went to the City
this morning, and ihe oniy physician in
attendance was Dr. Whitwell, who called
shortly after noon and remained at Up
lands until about 6 o'clock this evening.
For nearly three hours from half-past
12 till 2 o'clock — the colonel was left alone
without any phys cian in attendance upon
htm — something that naa not been done
sine-* hr was stricken last Friday evening.
With Dr. Gardner there also returned on
the 5:20 train this evening Dr. Chismore,
Secretary Green and William H. Crocker.
The latter remained several hours at tbe
colonel's residence, and before going to
his Burlingame residence he stated that
the colonel's condition showed improve
ment. He went into the sick chamber to
see his brother, mil . the colonel was
asleep at tne time and he did not disturb
him. * Will Crocker stated that the im
provement in the colonel'scondition man
ifested itself in several ways.
"He is able to move hi- right arm," he
said, "and occasionally he hits iiis rignt
hand to his forehead w&en the pain in
his head troubles him. His slumber is
also peaceful and normal. His digestion
is good, and it is no longer necessary to
pepsinize the milk which constitutes his
diet. He also answers questions more
readily, and occasionally speaks of bis
own accord."
In answer to a question as to what he
thought the colonel's chances of recovery
were, he replied that he had not allowed
himself to believe tbat his brother would
not recover. In reference to t..e pain
which the Colonel experienced, he said
that it was ihe result of the paralysis
which was entirely distinct, from the Kid
ney or other troubles.
"The pain," he declared, "is due to the
cause which prdduces the the paralysis,
whatever that cause is, whether it is a
cioited blood yes-el or effusions."
Dr. ' Gardner has been . considerably
bothered within the past ew days with
requests for written ' bulletins of the
colonel's condition. Last night, however,
he refused absolutely to issue any bulle
tin over his own signature, alt bough he
readily consented to give the reporters in
formation by interview.
Much interest is manifested in Colonel
("rocker's condition by the people of San
Mateo and vicinity.
Late this evening Colonel Crocker was
resting quietly. His attendants and the
members 01 the household are taking
every precaution to nave him disturbed
just as little as possible, and when it is
necessary to speak, to him only such ques
tions are asked as can be answered by
simple assent or dissent. The physicians
and nurses be ieve that absolute rest and
freedom from excitement of any kind are
essential, and everything possible is being
done to effect this end.
DISINHERITED HIS DAUGHTER.
Anton Reisner Layi Bare the Skeleton
in the Family Closest.
Anton Reisner'.. will was tiled for pro
bate yesterday by Adelbert Patiba. Tne
document is interesting trom the fact that
it exposes to view the skeleton which
hitherto has been hid len in the Reisner
family closet. ■ In the second paragraph
of the document the testator says that he
gives his daughter Helena only $3000, for
the reason that she called herself Helena
Bee for several years before her marriage
to FranK H. Mil and that she aban
doned her rightful name of Reisner
against his wish, and lor a long time had
treated him as a stranger, refusing to have
anything to do with him. He- made this
explanation, lie said, because some might
think he had not dealt fairly with her and
that she hart not been given the recogni
tion to which she was entitled. He fur
ther provided that if she attempts to con
test this will then she shall have only $5
from h.s estate. • , •
The remainder of the estate, valued at
$20,000, is bequeathed to his nephews aud
nieces.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1897.
AWARDING THE
SCHOLARSHIPS
A Complaint Made That
Alameda County Gets
Too Many.
The Board of Regents Decide
Many Questions of Impor
tance Yesterday.
Conductors Appointed for University
' Intension Lectures Among the
Tanners.
The Regents of the Universty of Califor
nia held a meeting in the Hopkins Insti
tute of Art building yesterday afternoon
with Judge Wallace in the chair.
The matter of awarding the Levi Strauss
and State scholarships was brought up
and aroused considerable discussion. Ac
cording to the regulations of the board the
scholarships are to be equally divided
among the Congressional districts, eight
to each .iistiict. When the report of the
academic senate was read it showed that
in the Third District seven of the eight
were awarded to residents of Alameda
County, leaving the other counties in that
district almost without representation.
Regent Foote opposed the adoption of
this report, contending that it was unfair
to the residents of the other counties and
contrary to the regulations of the board.
Regent Halladie favored the adoption of
the report on the ground that, as selec
tions were made according to the ef
ficiency of the candidates, as evinced at a
competitive examination, there could be
no more favoritism shown to one county
than another. He accordingly moved
that,' under suspension of rules, there
port be adopted, which was done.
A resolution to appoint Douglass T.
Fowler at a salary ol $1200 a year and Pro
lessor A. J. Cook at a salary ol $500 a year
conductors oi the Farmers' Institute Uni
versity extension course also created con
siderable discussion, it being contended
that this work was well done last year by
the regular professors in Berkeley at an
approximate cost of $50 per meeting; that
applications had already been made for
I sixty meetings in various parts of the
i State, and that there was nothing in the
] resolution compelling these men, if ap-
I pointed, to hold any more meetings than
I suited their own convenience.
An amendment was offered to the effect
j that at least seventy me tings be held at
| an average cost of $50 per meeting, and
the resolution as amended was adopted.
Resolutions were unanimously adopted
thanking C. P. Huntington for the mu
nificent donation of the Cowan library
.•nd extending him the privileges of the
I University library,' also to T. P. Avery of
New York for helpful correspondence and
donations of books la the past and his
.more recent services in negotiating the
purchase of the Cowan collection.
The following bills for wort on the Af
filiated Colleges buildings were approved :
Rue Building and Contract Company,
$13,911 70; Silas Carle, carpentering.
$2098; Pacific Rolling Mills, $2223.
Bills have been paid for running ex
penses of the university since June ag
gregating $35,4G0 57, and a loan oi $25,000
i to Miss T. J. Hammond on Los Angeles
property is being negotiated.
The appropriation for enlarging the
classrooms at Berkeley has been raised
from $10,000 to $15,000 to provide better
accommodations for students.
A communication in>m the Riverside
health officers complaining that Professor
! Rising had requested a lee of $20 to make
l an analysis ot water was referred to the
j committee on internal administration for
investigation.
ANOTHER RECONCILIATION.
Russell Ward's Wife Now Said to Bo in
Humor to Forgive
Now that Mr. and Mrs. John Bradbury
of Los Angeles are reconciled, after the
wife's recent sensational escapade, it is
but fitting that W. Russell Ward, the man
who eloped with the southern million
aire's wile, should "make up" with his
wife and thus permit all to be well that
ends well.
Matters seem to be pointing that way.
Mrs. Bradbury has gone East to join ber
husband, and on top of this comes the
story that Mrs. Ward has sent money to
her erring band for the purpose of not
only helping him out of his trouble, but
to bring him over to England, where he
can join her and be kept out of mischief
as well.
Ne ther Ward's attorney nor his friends
will vouch for the truth of tnis report,
giving as an explanation that they know
nothing about Ward's affairs. Neverthe
less, it is said in some more or less authen
tic quarters to be true.
A movement is now on foot to have Dis
trict Attorney Barnes call up Ward's case
in the Superior Court within a few days
and ask for a dismissal, on the ground
that the principal witness for the prose
cution, namely, Mrs. Bradbury, is out of
the convenient reach of the court. While
Mr. Barnes has not as yet consented to do
this, still he has the matter under con
sideration, and it is understood that he is
favorably inclined toward the idea, espe
cially since it has developed that Ward
and his wife are likely to be reconciled.
The Call received the following dispatch
last night from New York apropos to the
Bradbury- Ward affair:
John Bradbury, who has been stopping for
several days at the Hotel'- Waldorf, left the
city this afternoon, > ceompaiued by his son
Louis. While Bradbury refused to reveal his
destination, it is said that he is going to Chi
ta o to meet his wife and affect a reconcili
ation, having atranged the preliminaries by
letter, and telegraph. Bradbury's lrieods say
he is willing to forgive his wife's escapade.
After the reconciliation the couple will take
a European trip.
Dispatches from New York say that
Bradbury has not left this country, and
further that be has not and wi<l not take
his wife back. The World says:
"Colonel Bradbury said most positively
that he had taken no stops looking toward
a reconciliation with his wife, and that he
did not intend to forgive her and take her
back to his home, but that he was sick of
the whole scandalous matter and intended
to sail lor Europe in a few days and try to
forget it." _ " _ ...

number from the East.
The congress had its origin in 1894 at
the Midwinter Fair Dental Congress. At
that time a committee was appointed
to form an organization, choose officers
and arrange for a convention. The meet
ings which began yesterday are the out
come of the arduous labors of the com
mittee, and the members are well satisfied
with the result.
The chairman of the committee, Dr. C.
L. Goddard, called the meeting to order
yesterday morning, and.in a brief ad
dress gave a history of the organization
of the congress and named the officers.

vice-president, J. M. Whitney, Honolulu,
H. I.; secretary-general, K. W. Meek,
Oakland, Cal.
Dr. S. J. Barber of Portland was then
introduced as president of the congress,
and read his address, which was received
with enthusiasm by the members. At the

An original poem, written for the occa

H. Chance of Portland. An invitation
from the reception committee to visit
Mount Tamalpais on Friday was accepted
by the convention.
After tbe election of Dr. William J.
Younger of Chicago as delegite from the
congress to the dental section of the medi
cal meeting at Moscow in August, the
congress adjourned till 2 o'clock in the
afternoon.
The afternoon session was entirely taiten
up by the reading of papers and their dis
cussion. The papers were: "Implanta
tion," by Russell H. Cool of San Francis
co. Discussion opened by W. A. Bryant.
"Irrigation and Drainage of the Au
trune," by E. L. Townsend of Los An
geles was read by Lewis, who opened

subject was "Cleft Palate." "." *
"Pnin'e*s D°ntistry" was the paperread
by Dr. Clyde Payne.

witty poem entitled "Dental Damnables. "
Dr. Chance denounced the advertising
quack in strong terms and announced his
intention of withdrawing from the con
gress if two of these who were attending
tne meetings were allowed to remain. Dr.
Chance's remarks were quite forcible and
were called forth by the fact that two ad
vertising dentists bad made application for
membership in the congress and were re
fused admittance, but were allowed to at
tend the sessions.
Clinical operations form the programme
for this morning and there will be a num
ber of interesting lectures. This after

KNOX NO BEAUTY.
Arrest of a Collector on a Charge !
"Which Be Says Is Without
Foundation.
W. C. Knox, manager of the Knox Col
lection Agency, was arrested by Police
man Mullender of the California-street
squad yesteroay on a warrant issued by
the Judge of Police Court 4. The com
plaint was sworn to by Mrs. Nettie B.
Harrison, a cosmetic expert. She alleged
that Knox had collected a bill for her
amounting to $8, and that he appropri
ated the money to his own use.
After his arrest and release on bail Knox
made a statement, which, if true, places
the matter in a different light and shows
that he has been injured. It was to the
eflect that after the money was collected
it was garnisheed in his hands at the suit
of Mrs. Harrison's cook, and that he was
therefore restrained by an order oj court
I from paying it over to the lady. He said,
I also, that he had informed Mrs. Harrison
i of the order of court, but that nevertheless
j she had him arrested.
ALFRED CLAEKE DEPEATED.
Another of Uis Police Commission Cases
Goes by the Board.
Judge Hebbard yesterday dismissed the

junction to prevent the payment of the
salaries of the members of the Police

ers unlawful payments' to claimants of
pensions, and objects to having any more
salary taken by them until tuey answer

against the City and County of San Fran
disco. City and. County Attorney Cres
well interposed a demurrer at the hearing
yesterday and the matter was argued by
D puty City Attorney „J. L. Gallagher.
He convinced the court that Counselor
Clarke's contention is without merit, and
it seemed that his Honor was not pleased
with the attitude assumed < by Mr. Clarke
in the litigation. Mr. Clarke has about
100. suits of a similar character directed
against the Police Commissioners pend

A ROAST FOR
THE ARCHITECT
Held to Be Kesponsible for
Delay on the Hall of
Justice.
A Resolution Will Be Presented
to the Supervisors to
That Effect.
Citizens Are Indignant Over the Tardy
"Work— Lively Meeting of the
Committee.
The session of the Buildings Committee
of the Board of Supervisors yesterday
morning bore a close resemblance to a
public indignation meeting.
The North End Improvement Club was
represented by a number of prominent
but very angry citizens. "who wanted to
know why the work on the Kearny-sireet
Hall of Justice was at a standstill now
and had been practically at a standstill so
many months. . .
Ex-Supervisor John Shirley first put the
question and then proceeded to roust the
contractors, Baienian Bros., and all
who might be responsible for the tardy
and uncertain manner in which the work
was being done, or not being done.
Ex-Supervisor W. H. B^drish followed
upou Mr. Shirley in the same tone of
voice, somewhat emphasized. He referred
to the firm of contractors who have charge
of the work as a most responsible concern
and then proceeded to express amaze
ment that such a concern should dawdle
and trifle with a public undertaking cf
this character in the manner they were
doing.
Ex-Supervisor Daniel Rogers made a
talk along the same linp, demanding in
behalf of the taxpayers of the City, and
especially ol those residing or interested
in the North End, an energetic and effi
cient prosecution of the work.
The committee had called upon Archi
tect Shea for an explanation of the cause
of delay, and he was present with a long
type-written report, in which he threw
the entire blame upon the contractors.
He admitted in the statement that,
although the contract had been let many
months ago, the work was practically at
the point of beginning. He declared that
an energetic conduct of the work, a
prompt letting of sub-contracts should
have found the building at this time on
the level of the second story, whereas it is
still on the line of the foundation. A long
time must elapse after the letting of the
sub-contracts before the work of building
can begin, inasmuch as the material^ has
to be manufactured after that time.
Finally be declared that while it was in
the province of the architects to pass upon
te e work as done they had nothing to do
with pushing or ordering the work done.
With this view the committee did not
agree. On the contrary, the members de
clared that tne responsibility for
the unnecessary and uncalled-for
delays rests entirely with the archi
tects according to the stipulations con
tained in the specification . The archi
tects, they held, were "charged with the
duty of having the work progress so that
the contract can be executed as provided
in the specifications."
The committee directed that a resolu
tion be prepared to be passed by the
board directly setting this forth, "in order
that no question of the kind shall arise in
the futuie or be alleged as a reason for
delay in the prosecution of the work."
J. C. Bateman of Bateman Bros., the
contractors, made a statement in behalf of
the firm.
He reminded the committee that the
firm had taken the contract at a figure
$25,000 lower than that set by the archi
tects as their estimate at which tbe build
ing could be constructed. He said that
they had been retarded by work on the
contiguous buildings ; that the firm had
taken measures to prosecute the work in
their own way, economically and well,
and that within a few days it would be
made to appear that they were justified
in so doing. They proposed to worK, he
said, at night by means of electric lights.
Samuel I_. Sachs' Estate.
San ford Sachs has applied for letters testa
mentary on the estate 01" Samuel L. Sachs, who

mainder of the estate is to be held in trust for

exact value is not yet ascertained.
Judges at Work.
Judges Coffey, Slack, Troutt, Daingerfield,
Hebbard, Dunne and Presiding Judge Sea
well opened court yesterday morning for the
disposition of such business as might be;
offered. Owing to the vacation season not
having expired litigation is not at full tide at

prevalent evil constipation. It's a simple
thing of itself, but like many simple things,
it may grow and become complicated.
Constipation is the root of nine-tenths of
the sickness of men, arid of a large propor-
tion of the sickness of women. It can be
cured. It can be cured easily, naturally
and quickly. There is no reason save that
of carelessness why it should cause the
trouble that it does. Nature is continually
working as hard as she can to throw off im-
purities, and to force out poisonous refuse
matter. • Nature is not a dray-horse and
should not be overworked. Nature is sys-
tematic. Some little thing may interfere
with the system, and cause serious derange-
ment. The removal of this little impedi
ment sets the wheels working again with-
out any trouble. v
This is exactly what Dr. Pierces Pleasan* v
Pellets do. They assist nature in a gent I *,
healthful, efficient way. * There is nothing
violent about their action, and yet it is j jst
as certain as if it were twice as violent
The use of the " Pellets »'. doesn't derange
the system in any way, and once it is in
order, ; you can stop taking . t Aem.7. There
are unscrupulous druggists.' who will tell
you that something else is "jnst as good."
They are mistaken —or worse. ••■-, Whethef
they are ignorant or ■'. untruthful '. matters
little to you if you do not get the "Pel-
lets." Insist on getting what you ask fob
