It Is not believed that in any event will
Morgan sever his connection 'with the
firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., or with any
of its branch firms, but if he- should re
tire It will simply be from all great or
ganization and reorganization undertak
ings.
Many: times within the past few days
he has referred to what . he calls "an
idiotic war," meaning the hammering of
steel stocks.
It is known that Morgan has felt keen
ly the criticism directed against him be
cause of the shrinkage in value of steel
trust- securities and the misfortunes of
the ocean steamship trust, which devel
oped criticism abroad. But he felt most
of all the. revelations which, have come
out of the investigation into the shipbuild
ing-scandal. Morgan's, friends say, that
ho has been forced to bear the blame for
the indiscretions of others.
Even should he make up his mind to
retire, it is the opinion of several men
that great ' Influence will be brought . to
induce him to change his determination.

The trial of the 525,000 breachjof prom
ise sultjbrought by Mary Lanigan against
David 'Neeley, the wealthy 'Berkeley nur
sery man, was 'begun before Judge Hall
to-day. .;
The plaintiff nursed Neeley's wife prior
to her death and it is alleged he became
enamored of her ; charms. According to
the plaintiff's story she was to wait a
year before he would legally make her
his wife and publicly proclaim it to the
world, as he had scruples as to the pro
priety of marrying in haste.
Mrs. Neeley died on June 13, 1901. The
son born to the plaintiff is now a bounc
ing boy of eight months and she asserts
that the putative father still refuses to
keep his alleged promise .to marry her.
She has tired of waiting: and now wants
$25,000 as balm for her disappointment as
the result of her misplaced confidence.
Neeley was In court to-day and took
considerable interest In the proceedings.
Neither the mother nor the child, how
ever, was present, but it is stated that
they will be on hand when the plaintiff's
testimony is needed.

at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George
"Frier, 2117 Santa Clara avenue, at the age
of 92 years 6 months and 16 days. ? Death
was due to general weakness Incidental to
advanced age. Up to a few months ago
Mr. Ledyard was in the enjoyment of
all of his faculties and was then as
sprightly as many men who had seen but
half as many birthdays. When h© cele

Thomas Ledyard Near
Century Mark When
Death Comes.
Last night his condition was no worse
than it had been for several days, but
something caused him to suddenly move
and begin to turn over. Before' his rela
tives realized it death had resulted. TKe
doctors say that in moving he increased
the dislocation— in fact, again broke his
neck.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10.— An effort to
turn over in bed last night caused the
almost instant death of Walter Lang
worthy. Had he remained, still, as he
had been ordered to do by his physicians,
ha might still be living; in fact, the doc
tors say .ha had an excellent chanco of
ultimate recovery, despite the fact that
he was suffering from a broken neck.
Langworthy was a carpenter, and more
than two weeks ago while shingling a
house he fell and dislocated the vertebra
at the joint Just above the shoulders. The
pressure upon the spinal cord caused pa
ralysis of. nearly the entire body, and the
doctors said he would die in- a day. He
asked -to be taken home to die and tbat
was done. . z. , , - 1.
To the amazement of tha physicians, he
began to" Improve, the paralysis partfaliy
disappeared, showing that the tension on
the muscles was gradually lessening the
dislocation. The case was watched with
interest by a number of physicians arid
they agreed that if .Langworthy was kept
perfectly quiet he had a chance of recov
ering.
Special Dispatch to 'The CalL
"I am the only Harrington la the Oak
land postofflce," continued he, "and this
letter is plainly and clearly addressed to
me as any one can see. If It is a case
of mistaken identity the man who gets
the draft will 'have to make a strong
showing on the question as to tho woman
that bought it."
Harrington waited until the Union Na
tional Bank opened this morning and
went there to ascertain what were the
circumstances of the Issuance of the pa
per. Cashier Palmer's story only in
creased the mysterious features and left
both banker and postal official in the air.
The banker had no means of knowing
what the "unknown" was and could shed
but little llsht on the transaction. Ha
recalled the fact that the two women had
bought the certificate, because he remem
bered the circumstance of the refusal of
the purchaser to Identify herself with the
certificate. Further than that ho could
say nothing.
Cashier Palmer was ready to cash tha
certificate as soon as Harrington pre
sented It." but the superintendent was not
ready to taka the coin, as he desired first
to know whence, from whom, and for
what reason It was sent to him.
"I have had some queer experiences In
my time," said Harrington, "but this Is
somewhat unusual, to say the least. I
do not object to the money coming my
way, but when weeping women, who will
not disclose their Identity, ar© tangled up
In It I want to know a little something
about it."
Harrington said he has set an Investi
gation, going In the hope of clearing up
the mystery, but ha thinks his chance*
are somewhat remote.
HARRINGTON SHIES.
"There it is, made out to 'unknown.'
Who that 'unknown' is I am not pre
pared to say, for I have not any way of
discovering just now."
"I thought It was a 'fake' advertise
ment," said Superintendent Harrington
to-day. "But my name caught my eye
before I started to destroy the paper, and
then I read It carefully. Of course it did
not require a second reading to discover
that this was apparently a genuine draft
for $130. but strange to say 1 have not
been able to get the slightest clew to tha
sender. .• .
Opening the envelope. Superintendent
Harrington found the certificate and
nothing else. His first Impulse as he
glanced at the unfolded paper and saw
the inscription, "unknown," at tho top
line was to tear it up and throw it away.
Cashier Palmer drew out a certificate
book and started to fill out tha sheet.
He lnaulred In whose name he should
draw the certificate of deposit. The weep
ing woman answered that sha did not
desire her name to appear on the paper.
But the cashier insisted that this was
quite an unusual method and he again
requested that a name be given. Hia cus
tomer repeated that she would not hava
her name written on the certificate, so
Cashier Palmer desisted, and noted that
the certificate was drawn by "unknown. '
But the mysterious patron knew In
whose favor she desired the certificate
drawn and she did not hesitate when
asked to sign a payee's name. It was
"Charles Harrington" and so it appears
on the document as Superintendent Har
rington received it last evening through
the United States malls.
After the women left the bank that day
nothing more was heard nor seen of the
certificate until Harrington got an en
velope addressed to him at the Oakland
postofllce. It was a plain, white com
mercial size envelope, the address being
In a conventional and uncharacteristic
hand, which might have been written by
a man or a woman. There was apparent
ly no attempt to disguise the chirography.
The envelope bore postmark of yesterday,
exactly a week after the certificate was
issued.

ditions which were disclosed to-day.
Two, women, went to the cashier's win

and requested Cashier Palmer to Issue
a certificate of deposit for 1150. One or

appeared to be under stress of consider
able emotion, placed $150 In gold on tha
counter. .

"The Stanford fellows wouldn't give up
the ax when we wanted it," said Miller,
"and so we Just took it away from them.
It was a hard fight, but we won. 'Billy'
Drumm, the sprinter, got away with it at
last and after going In a roundabout way
we managed to get back to Berkeley."
Everett Brown, who helped get away
with the ax, gave a few more of the de
tails of the capture. He oaid he didn't
know whether he was a hero or a rogue,
but if he was a rogue he liked the punish
ment.
The "rooters" then formed another ser
pentine and escorted Heitmuller and the
ax to the gymnasium stepo, where there
was more yelling and more speeches.
Clinton Miller, who helped to purloin the
ax, told all about how it was done and
put in some touches that made everybody
laugh.
The revered weapon -first came down the
football field In the arms of "Ovle" Over
all, captain of the football eleven, in
whose wake trailed the band and. a long
line of rollicking, roysterlng students,
performing the serpentine aahce with the
whole world for a ballroom. The ax
looked a little the worse for. wear, for
its long wooden arm was Ions ago cut
into, souvenirs and its edge is nbt so fine,
but decrepit^as it was it furnished enough
Inspiration to last all year.
Captain Overall made a little speech be
fore the bleachers that pleased everybody.
He said he. had hidden the sacred ax in
a safe place and now was glad to bring
it out into the light again and turn it
ov« to the next custodian— "Heinle"
Heitmuller, the big rieht tackle on the
varsity team. Heitmuller accepted the
weapon and promised to take good care
of it until the next rally.
"I'll hide it away" so that even Sherlock
Holmes won't be able to find it," "Heinle"
said.

came to Alameda to be near her In his
declining years. When the woman, who

the pair decided to become one before
death prevented the union.

Epecial ZMrpatch to T!.e Call.
SALT LAKE, Nov. 10.— A warrant was
Fworn out to-night for Apostle Heber J.
Grant of the Mormon church, charging
unlawful cohabitation with two wives. At
a late hour a deputy Eheriff was hunting
for the apostle, who apparently had
hoard of the proposed prosecution and
taken to hiding.
The case is the first of a number likely
to be brought to prove that polygamy still
< x'.s'f in Utah and to affect the seating
tif Senator Reed Smoot, .a fellow apostle
of Heber J. Grant. The warrant was
sworn out by Charles Mostyn Owen, who
Teas active in the prosecutions at the time
of the Brlgham H. Roberts case. He has
I'^rn in the employ of the persons con
ducting the anti-polygamy crusade.
The allegation is that Grant has been
living with two wives, Augusta Winters
Grant and Emily Wells Grant, the latter
a sister of Governor Heber M. Wells. The
warrant charges that the offense was
committed on October 6 of this year and
thereafter.
Grant was married in November, 1871,
to Lucy Stringham. who died in 1890. He
married Augusta Winters on May 6, 1SS4,
redding her legally after hia first wife
died. In 1S87 he married Emily Wells In
Manasseh. Colo. A child was born to her
in 1&99 and in that same year Apostle
Grant was convicted of unlawful cohabi
tatlon and fined Jioo. For two years he has
been <t missionary in Japan. A few
days ago, after his return to Utah, he
addressed a body of students and boasted
cf the fact that he had two wives and
would take another If h* dared. He was
to have left for Europe on a mission to

WEDDING THE RESUI/T
OF STREET CAR ROMANCE
GrandFon cf Pio Pico Marries Youi:£
Daughter of Chicago Manu
facturer.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10.— As a result of
a trivial street car accident two weeks
ago, followed by a courtship, most of
which occurred on a street car, Miss
Anna Thorne, daughter of a Chicago
manufacturer, and who is said to be
wealthy In her own right, to-night be
came the bride of Wesley Henry Pico,
grandson of General Pio Pico, the last
Mexican Governor of California before
the American occupation.
The bridegroom has been for years a
conductor on the lines of the Los Angeles
Railway Company and the bride came
here about a month ago with her mother
to spend the winter. While she was rid
ing on his car there was a slight colli
sion, in which she was thrown oft her
seat.
Pico picked her up and expressed such
solicitude for her safety that she was at r
tracted to him. She sought him out the
next day to thank him and spent an hour
or more on his car.- ¦ . ";¦»
That was the beginning of the court
ship, and almost every day thereafter s,he
rode on that car and whenever he could
spare, a moment they conversed. The
culmination came to-night, when the cou
ple secured a license just before the court
house closed and, going- to .the residence
of Justice Pearce, were married without
any of their friends being the wiser until
after the ceremony. They will now go
to Chicago arid will probably reside-there.-

Uaron Vernberg, made the following im
portant statement:
I am happy to couplo -with this formal pre
sentation of the Emperor's gift th« announce
ment of two other gifts which are about to
be made to Harvard University. A year ago
last April, after the friendly reception of his
Koyal Highness Prince Henry of Prussia by
the people of the United .States, there was
formed in Berlin a committee of leading men
of* telence. art. literature and finance with
the view of supplementing the Emperor's do
nation by a gift from the Gorman people. The
committee decided upon a collection of galvan
oplastic reproductions of representative Ger
man gold and silver work from the twelfth to
the end of the sixteenth century. This costly
collection, consisting of more than thirty large
and sonie twenty smaller pieces, all of them
epecimens of the best workmanship of those
centuries. Is now marly completed and I have
been authorized on this date that before the
fnd of the year this gift of the Emperor will
be in the possession of Harvard University.
It Is mo«t gratifying that still another side
of German life Is to be represented by a gift
which comes from your own midst. I refer
to tbe mwt welcome addition of the 10,000
books on the hinory of Germany and Oerman
civilization which Professor- Archibald Carey
Cuoledge Is to make to Harvard College as a
memorial to the visit of Prince Henry of
Prussia to tiie university in 1902. Ills Majesty
the Emperor, as well as his Royal Highness
Prince Henry, «re greatly pleased with this
thoughtful recognition of their interest In the
cause which brings us to gether here to-day,
and I have the honor of being the messenger
of their appreciation and thanks.
President Elliot, responding in behalf of
the university, referred to the "generous
and suggestive act of his Majesty, the
German Emperor," and said: "That act
was uniQue in the history of this uni
versity and, indeed, in the history of edu
cation."
BERLIN. Nov. 10.— An exhibition was
opened to-night at the Museum, of Indus
trial Art of the objects to be presented
to Harvard's Germanic Museum as sup
plemental to Emperor William's gifts.
The collection is the results of the ef
forts of Professor Kuno Franke of Har
vard University In interesting German
artists, scientists and capitalists in the
Germanic Museum as a means of display
ing the fatherland's art treasures in the
United States and strengthening the ties
between the two countries. The money
required was quietly collected and the
Royal MuseUm of Industrial Art" was in
trusted to carry out the wishes of the
giver?? It was decided to select the gold
smith's work of the twelfth to the seven
teenth centuries for illustration, and imi
tations of fifty-three cups of various de
signs, vases and dishes were made by an
electroplating process to compose the
gift. The articles chiefly are from the
work of Nuremburg and Augsburg
goldsmiths of the period when this art
was at maturity. Many of these objects
now are in possession or princely houses,
municipalities and museums. Emperor
William has permitted the reproduction
of several of the finest pieces in his col
lection, including the so-cailed Emperor's
cup of the sixteenth century by Wenzel
Jamitzar of Nuremburg. The Kings of
Wurttemberg and Saxony also have per
mitted copies to be made of some of their
treasures. The largest group consists of
sixteen pieces from the town hall of L/une
berg, now In possession of the Berlin Mu
seum. Among the famous pieces are the
60-called Landschadenbund cup from the
museum of Graz, the Luther cup, pre
sented to the rerormer upon his marriage
by the Wittemberg Town Council, and the
Corvinus cup, which King Corvinus of
Hungary presented to the Vienna Council
of 1642. These reproductions are so suc
cessful that an expert scarcely can de
tect the difference from the originals.
Tho collection will remain on exhibition
here for a week and will be sent to Har
vard In a fortnight.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.— A strong . plea for
the adoption of reciprocal free trade
in natural products between tho United
States and Canada was made by John
Charlton, member of the- Canadian Par
liament for North Norfolk, North On
tario, to-night at a banquet given by the
Illinois Manufacturers' Association.
Charlton declared that the continuance of
present Canadian tariff conditions could
only be retained by Important tariff con
cessions by the United States. Charlton
said:
Free trade in natural products is beyond
question fully earned by Canadian tariff con
ditions. The sooner it Is arranged the better
for tha interests of both countries. The pres
ent Etate of trade relations in assured. The
Alaskan boundary dispute presents Itself as a
disturbing element in its Influence on public
opinion and finds the Canadian ready to dis
play temper over what he believes to have
been a sacrifice of his rights. The tirna is
now ripe for the display of a liberal • spirit' on
the part of the United States.

Bright's Disease and
Diabetes News.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9, 1903.—
We are permitted this week to record
the recovery of Mr. William Pettit of
1240 Mission street, known in business
circles in this city. He was failing, and
as the disease was of a progressive char-
acter an examination was made by his
physicians, who discovered that it was
diabetes, and told him he could not get
well. He put himself on the Fulton
Compound, has recovered and now per-
mits this announcement. To now meet
him on the street one would never sus-
pect he had ever had a supposedly in-
curable disease. .
Mr. R. Petry of 842 Oak street, Ala-
meda, also permits us to refer to his
case. He is connected with the Mc-
Nicoll Elevator Works of this city.
Eight months ago progressive emacia-
tion developed. He grew so weak that
he was unable to carry all his tools.
When he had lost twenty pounds the
symptoms were all so suggestive of
Bright's Disease that friends urged Ful-
ton's Compound. He is now on his
ninth week of the treatment and reports
the total disappearance of all the symp-
toms and that he has regained his nor-
mal weight and strength and is well
again.
If you have Bright's Disease or Dia-
betes send for literature to the Jno. J.
Fulton Co., 409 Washington street, Sari
Francisco, sole compounders of the
only cure in the world for. Chronic
Brigh'ts Disease and Diabetes. Recov-
eries in about 87 per cent of all cases.
You know of some one who has one of
these diseases and has given up hope,
believing he is incurable. Help him and
his family by mailing this notice to
them.
