MAKE ROOM FOR
CALIFORNIA
Space Wanted for This
State at the Coming
Paris Exposition.
State Board of Trade Eusy
Taking Preliminary
Steps.
Important Communication From Sec
retary Wilson Regarding the
fig Moth.
At the meeting of the State Board of
Trade yesterday afternoon a report was
heard irorn the committee appointed to
investigate into tbe advantage ot bay np
a California exhibit at the coming Paris
Exhibition of 1900.
The committee recommended that the
secretary at once address United States
Commissioner Mo?es Handy at Washin^-
I in reference to securing not less than
Xi, 000 to 15,000 square feet ot space at the
exposition. The secretary was also in
structed to address, the State Horticultural
Society, Sta'e Viticaltural College, Manu
facturers' and Producers' Association,
Miners' Association, Dairjmen's Associa-
Uon, the State Board of Education, the
proper authorities on forestry au<l all
oilier industries which have organizations,
for the purpose or ascertaining wha', in
their opinion, would be an adequate satis
factory and comprehensive exhibit of
these industries and what such exhibits
would cost.
The matter of advertising San Francis
co's commercial wealth was then dis
cussed, and it was generally agreed that
this could best be done by meant of a
topographical map showing the location,
surrounding?, etc., of tins city and the ad
vantages of its splendid harbor. It was
estimated that such a map would cost not
less than $3200.
A letter from the headquarters of the
Joint committee, which is working to pro
mote a department of commerce and
industry, and requesting the co-operation
of the board in this matter led 10 much
discussion, but it was finally decided that
* the Board of Trade wiii not oppose
such a movement it will not pusn it for
ward, as California wants a mines and
mining officer in the Cabinet.
Colonel Irish was appointed to represent
the board at the State convention of the
miners, which will open next Monday iv
Odd Feilows' Hall, and assure them of the
willingness of the board to co-operat«
with them in securing a mining repre
tentativa in the Cabinet.
In answer to a request made for space
in the new ferry depot a reply was
received from the Harbor Commissioners
to the effect that a similar application had
been made by the State Mining Bureau,
and that no definite answers can be given
until the building is completed.
A communication was recently for
warded to Secretary Wilson requesting
him to interest himself in the importation
\ rf ihe Blastophega, or fig moth, and tne
/ Capri fig. In reply he stated he .had con
/ sifted the entomologist on the subject
and had ascertained that the only way to
secure the moth is to import Capri fit; trees
with fully developed rigs and employ an
experienced man to watch their growth
and development. There are no funds
with which to do this at present, but he
has hopes of soon being able to accom
plish the desired result.
An invitation was received and accepted
to attend the convention of the Slate
% Dairymen's A^ociation, which will be
tteld in Chamber of Commerce Hall on
the Htli and loth inst.

For an Unobscured City Hall.
HOW AND WHEN?
THE question of obtaining thb
land fronting the City Hall on
Market street for the people no
louder remains in doubt. From
all classes, rich and poor, north
and south of the city's great commercial
artery, Market street, conies a unanimity
of opinion that the rookeries should be re
moved and tbe site turnei into a beauti
ful pleasure ground adorned with flower
plats and creen grass, ail of which would
lend a charm to the building and entire
surrounding?.
This being the unanimons opinion of
the whole people nothing now remains
but to arrive at the proper metnod to ac
couiplisii the much-desired object.
As a legal proposition will unquestion
ably be involved in acquiring the land
from the present owner?, the Grand Jury
has asked City and County Attorney
Harry Creswell for an opinion on the law
bearing on the subject.
This request will be complied with by
that official and at the next meeting of
the Grand Jury on Friday this opinion
will be laid b-fore :hat boay.
John Lord Love, who has made a study
of tbe question here involved, has already
said that the people can acquire the prop
erty if not by right of title at least by con
demnation.
The Code of Civil Procedure contains the
laws relating to eminent domain and how
private properties may be acauired for
that purpose.
Section 1239 says: "A fee simple when
taken for public ouildings or grounds.

FAKER SHARKEY
A DEAD DUCK
The Sports Denounce the |
Sailor Pugilist for
Cowardice.
Why a Battle Between Him
and Groddard Would Be
Unpopular.
Interviews Which Show the Way the
Pugilistic Wind
Blows.
When President Andy Johnson was
swinging around the circle with Secretary !
William H. Seward he was asked in Phil- \
adelphia, 'What about Forney?"
"Why," answered Johnson, "should I
waste ammunition on dead ducks?"
The same pertinent remark applies to '
Sharkey. Why should any ons waste j
ammumtiou on such <t "dead duck" as 1
Sha-kej*, particularly people who have
bad the experience of the light he gave in i
this city witti Fitzsiminons?
The general opinion of those who have ',
had a chance to properly judge the ex- >
sailor's capabilities i* that Sharkey would
have considerable difficulty in whipping
his own shadow. Surne of these opinions
are appended.
James Markland— Sharkey is a dead
knocker. He couldn't whip anything,
not even his own reflection. Sharkey in
his right with FHzsimmons made a cow
ardly exhibition. Tue sailor went to the
floor and simulated pain. Mars you, this
was done when Miarkev was going.
Fight? He is incapable of fighting and
he would either run or lie down at the
lea^t provocation. Why, that man Shai
key is incapable of whit ping anybody.
There never was a bigger fraud than
SharKey's fight with Fitz*immon§. Ihe
sailor went down and out, and now he
rolled about ! It was a great fake.
Lloyd Eaton — If Shnrkev tiguts there
will be notjouy present. Thai man Shar
key ia a In. st.
l>iiiy Cieary, a permanent member of
the San Francisco Atnlefc CJub — Every
body is dead against th.s Suariey-God
dard tight. Sharkey is too much of a
faker. I wouldn't go across the street to
»cc Sharkey fight. That man tharkey
can't light. He is a faker.
Bert Wymnn of San Rafael— l have al
ways paid $o for a seat to witness a pu
gilistic contest in San Francisco. I
wouldn't pay five cents to see Sharkey and
Goddard. I beiieve that man 1-narkey to
be a faker. He would lie down if he saw
any money in it.
Juhn Dennis, Postal Telegraph — Shar
key i<- a despicable scoundrel so lar as the
ring is i o;;C2rned. He couldn't fight a
feather unless Wyatt Earp refereed tne
conteft. .Sharkev is no good.
CKio Hill of J. J. O'Brien— Goddard and
Choynski would draw thrfe times the
crowd that Godd«r<i and Sharkey could
draw. That man S larkey is a f.ker.
Pilchard Price — 1 never heard one good
word it) favor of Sharkey sines the Fitz
timmons light.
Kichar<l> Evans of Moraghan oyster
dealers — If the Knickerbocker people pull
tt<.* fight off they irill starve Jike the poor
fellows in the Klondike. Sharkey can't
figh .
James McEiroy— There would be no
naval review in connection with a mill
between Sharkey and Goddard. Sharked
can't fight He :a a faker.
John Wilson of the Fire Department —
Goddmrd can lick Sharkey. Sharkey i« a
laker.
Billy Lewis, exponent of honest sport—
Bbarkey in a fake fighter.
Charles Deitz of A. C. Deitz <fc Co., Front
s.reet— police forct- should stop the
ignt witli a gun. It is the only w»y of
preventing Kharkey from goin X down.
Oeor e Iteese— Sliarkey wiil eet the
money, no matter wh.cli way the battle
goes. He is an nu:-and*oot faker.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1897.
In an interview with A. G. TEells, an
attorney well versed in land cases, this
gentleman said : "Well, I have not given
the question much thought up to the
present time, further than to say the land
never should have been sold. But, ina«
much a3 it has hpeu. t 1 c next best thine is
lo get it back. This, to my mind, without
consulting the authorities on the subject,
does not appear difficult. * *
"The Supervisors have the power to
declare that the city needs the latui and
then commence suit in the Superior Court
under the authority of the law as laid
down in the Code of Civil Procedure on
the same principle as any other action
may be commenced. The jury before
whom the case is tried will determine not
only the value of tbe properay, but the
title thereto, and then assess the damages.
Of course the richt of appeal lies in this
class of cases as in any other. The pur
chase money must bepaiii within thirty
days after final judgment.
"Under the laws of the State governing
municipal indebtedness an election for
the itsuing of bonds can be held by the
action of th« municipal authorities, a><
was done in Oakland for the building of
schools a few years ago."
A. N. Drown, an attorney of ripe expe
rience, was more conservative in his opin
ions, yet he was in full accord with the
general public in condemning tlie policy
that »:ave away the land in the first in
stance. For, said he. "the selling of the
Market-street frontage made what was
intended to be the front of the buiiding
the rear.
"I say now is the time to get the prop
erty back if it is ever to be got for the city.
There cannot, to my mind, be vtry mac a
difficulty in having it condemned. Of
course, if an issue is raised, I presume the
Supervisors mu<i show that it is a neces
sity for some public purpose.
"This being shown and proven to tne
satisfaction of the court there would be
no trouble in haying it condemned. The
question of paying for it is, however,
another problem. Under the laws, an
MAMMY IN NO
FEAR OF FAMINE
I The Bell Household May Be
Able to Pull Out on
$50 a Day.
1 The Executors Say They Have
No Idea of the Value of
the Estate.
A Condition of Plenty of Land and
Mines Galore, but an Absence
of Eeady Cash,
There does not appear to be any imme
diate dancer ol famine in the Bell house
notwithstanding Hie gloomy prophecies
of Mammy Pleasant that there are no
funus available to provide for the running
expenses of the widow of the millionaire
and her children. As thq bi? mansion at
Octavia and Bush is free from debt, by ex
ercising a little economy Mam my;will prob
ably be able to tee that the wolf does not
cross the threshold on an allowance of
$50 per day, the sum Mrs. Bell is at pres
ent drawing down from the estate ol her
husband.
The estate promises to take its place in
the history of probate legislation in the
front row of benches along with the Mil
ler & Lux and Fair cases. Bell has been
dead hve years, and the executors of the
estate say they expect to be in their graves
before it is finally wound up. All of
which means that there is good picking
yet in store for tho lawyers and the reign
of Mrs. Pleasant is in no imminent danuer
oi collapse.
Judge Black was busy yesterday en
deavoring to get some idea of the vaine of
the property, but he met with little suc
ce»s. When Bell died in lSy2he was rated
a millionaire, and six months later the
estate was appraised at $1,U22.000, quite a
tidy sum for a man to accumulate in a
few years. He made George Staacke and
J. \V. C. MnxA'oil his executors, and these
two were on the stand yesterday to tel of
their stewardship and give their opinion
of what the widow and er children had
in sight. Neither execu or could place
any definite va neon the property. Inter
est on it was eating it up at the rate of $50
a day, in addition to the similar sum i
allowed the widow. The first year the
estate yielded $135,000, but since unit lime
there had been a steady decline iv values.
A claim for naif mi. lion dollars against
the Progre>so Min.ni; Comi.any was as
good as dead horse because of the decline
in. silver. Tne bi^ K<ncho de Lacuna San
Francisco in Santa Barbara County con
tain? 20,000 acres, but was rented for $3000
a year, while the interest on a $50,000
mortgage was $500 more.
The Los Alamos ranch of 000 acres
was in dispute to tbe sum of $109,000 in
addition to being mortgaged loriW),o,o.
Shares in the Standard Quicksilver mine,
in Lake County, onc^ w«>.th $140,000 were
estimated to nave shrunk to $20,000. '1 he
estate had an interest in the Carson and
Colorado Railroad to the value of $75,000,
an interest in the P.ilisades and Eureka
Railway worth $18,000 and 6tO shares in
ttie Bellingharu ilay and British Colum
bia Railway, in Wnatcom County, \vash.
Tlie »iiver lining to the dark clou. l was the
proposal of Prince Poniatowski to pur
chase the Bell«>viie mine, in Tuolumne
County, for $1t.0,0i.0 w icii would ii*t the
Bell |>eoi>le about $75,000 cash. There
was a host of smaller items, which w<»re
good enough assets when the market im
proved, an l although there is no money
just now in the treasury the executors be
lieve the family would be able to pull out
without any danger of extreme poverty.
It is generally believed 'hat tiie estate
will ultimately net about $830,000.
The case goes on tli.s alternoon.
Married at the I'alace.
Miss D. M. Levl of this ci:y was married to
S. E. Lor b of New Orleans yesterday afternoon
in tl.e Maple Koom of the Pulace Hotel m the
presence of seventy-five relatives and close
if lends of the con trading parties. The cere
mony was perfoimed by Rabbi Jacob Voor
sanger. Afterward a bridal dinner wus served
in the c-nuservr.tory, which was beautifully
decorated with palms and choice flowers.
Patrick John Hit-key's Estate.
Frequent inquiries have recently been made
in retsflrd »o the estate of Patrick John H:ckey,
formerly a prominent citizen of Nevada and
CftUforntn, who left DroDerty worth over
$359,000. The record discloses that in 1870
the estate was distributed to the widow and
two sons, one of whom, John P. Hickey Jr ,
died in 1886, and the other is the more or less
celebrated ''Baron" Hardiu-H.ckey.
ejection could be cnlled for the issuance of
bond> and if the voters no desired that
would he conclusive to my mind. But I
have not looked into the legal phase of
the que-tion and am, therefore, not pre
pared to say for a certainty what steps are
necessary to accomplish the object, 'nrther
than if the people desire to have the
land they will undoubtedly eet it in the
end, and none ton soon to suit me."
Judge P. W. Van Kevnegom excused
himse.f on ihe plea of pressure of pr.vate
busine-s from giving at-, opinion further
than by saying that he was in full accord
with the movement, and saw no obstacles
in the wav from a lecal point of view of
the people obtaining the property if they
make up their minds to do so. A suit
brought for that purpose would determine
the fact.
A. J. Clunie, Insurance Commissioner
and an attorney of experience in locai
matters, saw no obstacles in the way from
a legal standpoint. Similar actions had
been brought before, on the *>xtension of
Van Nes< avenue and the widening of
Mission street, au>l in both cas s the city
won. He was hopeful that the matter
would he pushed to a finien now, as it
was ju>t the thing above all others that
was needed to m:.ke Market street in from
of the hall look as it should, without hav
ing the buildina hidden Mbind a cluster of
rookeries.
The Grand Jury committee on city im
provements deeHed yesterday alter the
meeting of the jury ;o co actively into
the matter ol a park about the City Hall
and held a session on the subject. Chair
man C. A. Burton presided, and suggessed
that the proper co irse to pursue was to

FOR NEARLY A
COOL MILLION
Colonel C. F. Crocker's
Estate Asked for
Trust Funds.
Action Instituted by the Com
pany Calling for a
Large Sum,
Securities Worth $921,109 72 In
volved in What Is Called a
Friendly Suit,
An action at law, said to be a friendly
suit, was instituted yesterday afternoon
by Attorneys Stanley, McKinstry, Bradley
& McKinstry on behaii ol the Crocker Es
tate Company against Henry T. Scott and
C. E. Green, executors of the will of the
late Colonel Charles F. Crocker. The
amount involved is $921,103 Iz. The Pa
cfic Improvement Company is named as
co-defendant, because itcas in its posses
sion the securities whicn represent the al
leged indebtedness or obligation.
According to the complaint on file in
the Superior Court there existed at the
time of Coionel Crocker's death an open
account be.ween him and the Pacitic Im
provement Company by which the com
pany acknowledged itself indebted to him
in the sum of $91*1,109 72, but this account,
the plaintiff avers, was not the pruperiy
of Colonel Crocker, but wa», by agree
ment, held in his name and by him
as trustee for the Crocker Estate Company,
which was organized and incorporated by
the heirs of Colonel Crocker's father.
It appears that the officers of the Pacific
Improvement Company lad no knowl
edge of this arrangement, for alter Colonel
Crocker's death they changed the account
on their books from Colonel Crocker's
name to the name of the estate oi Charles
F. Crocker, deceased. It is alleged that
Messis. Scott an < Green, executors of the j
estate of Colonel Crocker, wil set uosome
claim to the account and ihrenren t<> iij
ventory and will inventory ibis $921,109 72
account as ihu property of tl.e t'siuie un
der their control, unless it shall be deter
mined by the courts thai Charles F.
Crocker, in his lifetime, had not and that
his estate now has notany interest therein.
Demand has been made on the pHciric
Improvement Com-nany that it changp j
this account on tti books so as to show '
that it belongs to the Crocker Estate Com- I
pany, but the officers oi the Pacific Im
provement Company decline to make
such change or to in knowledge the owner
ship of the Crocker Est ile Company until
the question in regard to them hua been
decided by some court of competent juris
diction.
This claim by the executors of the will
of Charles F. Crocker is declare.! to be a
cloud on the title of the plaintiff to the
property in question, and is wron^m! and
against righi, and tne refusal of the Pa
cific Improvement Company to nrknowl
••d.ethe ownership of the plaintiff is also
wrongful and interferes with the plain
tiff s enjovinentol its properiv.
Judgment of court is therefore de
manded in :iccordaiice with the statement
here presented, that the plaintiff be de
<• Ij red the owner ot the account mquc<
iion, and that the same was held l>y
Colonel Crocker during his liietime as the
trustee of the plaintiff.
The complaint is sworn to by William
EL Crocker, vice-president of the Crocker
Estate Company.

ALL OVER BUT
THE SHOUTING
That to Be Done by the
Lawyers in the Welburn
Case To-Day.
The Evidence Is All in and
the Arguments Will Begin
This Morning,
Witnesses in Rebuttal Contradicted
the Testimony of the
Defendant.
The taking of testimony in the case
against ex-Collector O. M. Welburn was
finished, and the arguments of the attor
neys will begin at 11 o'clock this morning.
Judge de Haven said he would not re
strict the lawyers as to time, and it ia ex
pected that the speeches will be quite
lengthy.
Tne ex-Collector took the stand at the
mornrng session for further crosi-examin-
ation, and for near y an hour Assistant
District Attorney Bert Schlessinger
prodded him with questions about the
Aiken and Siunott checks.
He was shown a check in favor of Aiken
which he said, at the request of L upe, at
that time sick at his home on Van Ness
avenue, he had sent to Mr. Borland, a
broker, to be hypothecated. Later Aiken
came to him and a?ked for his salary.
Welburn said he then sent to th 9 broker
for thecneck and turned it over to Aiken
oefore he was arrested. Alter he left the
land he had a conversation with bis son
Cyde, aud then changed hi* testimony
and said it was after his arrest that he
had given 'he check to Aikeu.
With the defendant's testimony the de
fense rested its case, and the prosecution
began with its witnesses in rebuttal.
A number of witne-ses who had known
the gauger, Sinnott, were called by the
Government in rebuttal of the testimony
by the defense that his character was
bad. John Murphy, Judge M. A. Tayior
and Miron Walden, of Modesto; li.
Dahukeii, Charles A. Sweeney and J. C.
Kous, of Antioch; John Curtin, Samuel
Taylor aud E. D. Ha'!>away, of San
Francisco, and Charles W. Gehrhardt of
Fresno all testified that they had known
fcinnott and that his reputation for truth
and veraciiy was good.
Sinnott was recalled and denied the
statements made by Weiburn that he bad
L>een loaned any money by the Collector
or that he had ever g;ven Mr. Welburn
receipts for money other than the regular
official vouchers for salary.
Louis Louie, the eh et Deputy Collector
under Welburn, was put on the stand to
refute the testimony of hia former su
perior. The defendant had testihed that
the appointment of E. C. Aiken had
been made by Loupe and that all of the
Aiken and Sinnott ciieiks which Welburn
is charged with havine embezzled were
turned over to the deputy and that it had
been at the latter* request that the
checks had oeen made payable to Aiken
or bearer.
Loupe swore positively that these state
ments were not tru?. He «aid that ihe
only part of Aiken's salary he had han
dled was the {25 each month, which he
had always received from the Collector In
coin. He alto contradicted Welburn's
testimony that there had been extra men
employed for handling the business of
the income tax. At the time the Collector
•aid he had received a note from the
deputy in regard tohynothtc iting Aiken's
salary for June Air. Loupe testihed that
he was in Gilroy and that he uaver wrote
in regard to the matter.
Ou cross-examination, he corronorated
the defendant's tesiinieny that Young
berg's salary had been paid by clerks and
deputies in the office. He sa;d he knew
that Dillaru hau signed Welburn's name
to documents, but did not know whether
ii was by »he Collector* instructions.
Bert M. Thomas, who was acting Col
lector after Welburn's supervision, testi
hed that he had found in the office some
private papers o; the defendant, and that
they hud all been given to Mr. Welburn.
Ou eros -examination he said that among
th.-.-c he had found no receipts signed by
A ken or Sinnoit.
Captain J. E. Youngbere testified that
he had never received the Aiken checki
nor his salary, but that he had performed
h s duti- b.
Miss Alice C. Davidson testified that she
had never seen Dillard sign Welbum's
nume to papers, nor had she requested him
to io so.
At hisown request Thomas Burns wa<s re
called to correct his testimony. He sa.d that
five of the Sinnott checks had been ca-hed
by Dillard. With this witness both siciei
rested and an adjournment was taken
until this morning.

THE OLD WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia ard Indi-
gestion by Dietintr a Barbarous
a id Useless One.
We say the oid way, but really it is a very
common one at present time, and many
dyspeptics and physicians as well con-
sider ttie fir«.t step to take in attempting
to cure indigestion is to diei, eiiher by
'•electing certain foods and rejecting
others or t •■ great y diminish the quantity
usually tatcen ; in other words the starva-
tion plan ii t>y many supposed to be the
first essential.
The almost ceitain failure of the starva-
tion cure tor dyspersia has been proven
time an 1 asrain, bu: stil! the mom<-ut dys-
peps a malces ita appearance a course" of
dieting is at once auvised.
All this is radically -vrong. It is foolish
and unscientific to recomm»nJ dieting or
starvation to a m.in suffeiitiK from 'by»-
pepsia. because Indigestion itself starves
every organ and every nerve and every
fiber in the b >dy.
Whnt tt;e Dyspeptic wants is abundau
nutrition, which means plenty of good,
wholesome, well-cooked food 'ml some-
thing to assist tie weak stomach to digest
it. This s exactly tne purpo«e for which
Stuart's Dys;>etsta Tablets are ada|t d,
and this is lac method by which they cure
