ROAMING LAWYER'S
WILL DISCOVERED
Aged Student Who Dropped
Dead in Berkeley Classroom
Left Valuable Estate
OAKLAND, Feb. 9. — A purported will
of the late John B. Gregory, the aged
British barrister who dropped dead in
a classroom at the University of Cal
ifornia, was filed today by Attorney
Abe P. Leach, representing Public Ad
ministrator Mehrmann. The will was
found In Gregory's effects, bv.t Inas
much a? it was undated and incom
plete it is not certain whether it can
be admitted to probate.
Gregory was once a prominent law
yer in Australia. Domestic trouble led
to his leaving his home and taking up
th«? life of a wanderer. For many years
he traveled from one seat of learning
to another, studying philosophy. At
one time he effected a reconciliation
with_ his wife and she was to Join him
in this country, but the vessel that was
to bring her brought instead a letter
announcing her death. After that
Gregory became a recluse. At the
time of his death he was attending
classes at the University of California.
After his death it was learned that
he had left a large estate. He had
about 5<>,000 in cash in this country
and much valuable realty In Australia.
Tho will was drawn up in Sacra
mento in 1902 by Gregory himself- He
!eft hla.jik spaces for the exact date
and for the signatures of witnesses,
and never had them filled in.
Tho -document directs that his daugh
ter. Edith Louisa, is to jr*>t an annuity
of 50 pounds. A number of unpub
lished copyrighted manuscripts dealing
with metaphysical subjects are left to
his friend. Robert Craig of Melbourne,
with directions to publish such as soeni
of merit. The sum of 3 f 'O pounds is
also left to Craig to pay for the pub
lication of these manuscripts. The re
mainder of the estate is l p ft in tru^t
for the benefit of his two sons. Charles
Clapham Gregory and St. John M.

GRAND JURY WAITS
FOR GRAFT CHARGE
San Mateo Inquisitors Delay
Final Report to Hear Further
Story of Corruption
—
[Specie/ Dispctch to The Call]
REDWOOD CITY. Feb. 9. — The ex
pectation that the ban Mateo county
grand jury would complete its investi
gations and make its final report to
Superior Judge George H. Buck tomor
row is not to be fulrilled. 'Application

investigators and address them upon
the subject of graft in the northern
end of the county. Yielding to the de
sire of tne grand jurors to hear what
Jacobs has to say. Judge Buck has
granted them further time for delibera
tion, and their report has been 'post
poned. Jacobs will appear before them
tomori'.* v-.
The final report of the jury will give
the board of supervisors a severe grill
ing for refusing to revoke the liquor
license of Maud E. Earl on evidence
submitted by Foreman George A. Ker
tell.
The inquisitors' report will deal with
the general gambling situation in the
north end of San Mateo county. Con
stable Robert Carroll, who was grilled
by the jury for alleged protection given
to the gang of confidence men. will not
be formally charged, although members
of the jury have said that they believe
him incompetent.

by the jury against Justice of the
Peace W. G. Loveland of San Mateo
was filed in the county clerk's office
this afternoon. The accused official was
cited to appear before the superior

2i, to answer the accusation.
The charges against Loveland are in
three separate specifications. The fir?t
charges him with preparing* and filing
a purported criminal complaint of Cal
ogera Siracusa against W. D. Lindsay.

more and other persons for amounts
due the Early-Eckley grocery firm.
They allege that Loveland and Ches
bro. a collector, had a combine, in
whicb the judge gave judgment and
Hie collector received the proceeds
from the defendants in the actions.

DECIDES CUSTODY
OF DISTRICT FUNDS
Donahue Settles Disposition of
Money Collected in Oakland's
Annexed Sections
OAKLAND. Feb. 9.— A tangle that
resulted from the recent annexation to
Oakland of many suburban districts
was straightened out today by an opin
ion rendered* by District Attorney
Donahue as? to the disposition of funds
Collected In those districts. The opin
ion was prepared by Deputy District
Attorney Leon Clark.
Previous to annexation thesp funds
were deposited with the 'county treas"
urer, who kept them pending- leeal de
termination of where they should, so.
City. Treasurer Meese made a demand
for them to hasten the matter to deci
sion.
The opinion affect? the following
districts, where special taxes were
levied: Fruitvale fife district, Melrose
tire district, Fruitvale library district,
Fruitvale lighting: district. Homestead
lighting- district. Pioneer lighting dis
trict. Fremont lighting district, Fruit
vale sanitary district So. 1. P'ruitvale
sanitary district No. 2. Melrose sani
tary district No. 1. Melrose sanitary
district No. 2. Fitchburg sanitary dis
trict, Seminary park sanitary district,
Blmhurst sanitary district. Redwood
sanitary district. Kasi Fruitvale sani
tary district. Upper Fruitvale sanitary
district. Golden Gate sanitary district.
Adeline "sanitary district. Brooklyn
road district, Claremont road district.
Piedmont road district.
The law applicable to. the various
districts enumerated varies, according
to the district attorney's opinion, and
different courses must- be pursued.
In tho case of the Fruitvale and Mel
rose fire districts, the opinion was
given that the money should be held
by the county treasurer until the resi
tj^nts of the districts shall have peti
tioned for the dissolution of the dis
tricts and the board of supervisors
shall have acted favorably on the pe
tition. At that time it will be the duty
of the county treasurer to turn over
the money to the city treasurer.
In the case of the Fruitvale. Berkeley,
Claremont and Piedmont road districts,
the supervisors will have to determine
what part of the taxes collected wore
from those part" of the districts that
were annexed to the city, and this hav
ing been done, it will be the duty of
the county treasurer to turn over the
amount determined to the city.
The funds of the library, lighting
and sanitary districts are to be held
by the county treasurer until the de
termination of suits now pending,
which affect the validity of bond issues
in those districts.
LAND WITHDRAWAL
BLOW TO NEW LINE
Ballinger's Action Kills Plan for
Electric Road to Pen=
dlefon
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
WALLA WALLA, Wasii., Feb. 9.—
By the withdrawal of lands along the
Waila Walla river by Secretary of the
Interior Baliinger, the Washington-
Oregon company, which proposes to
build an electric line from here to Pen
dleton, is put down and out, provided
the action of the secretary ia confirmed.
It was found that the withdrawal does
not take in any other land except that
of the Washington-Oregon company.
Why the Washington-Oregon com
pany should be singled out for attack
is difficult of surmise. It is but a short
line. .to be built through a country that
would be actively served by it. The
directors, of the company intimate that
there is "something" behind the move
ment.
"Something" behind, as figured out
by local men interested in the situation,
i» something like this:
The Northern Pacific has physical
connections with the Walla Walla val
ley traction company, which is a local
branch of the Northwestern corpora
tion. It is known that there has been
a deal on for sale of the holding of the
corporation here and in Pendleton.
And it is thought that the Northern
Pacific is the interested party in the
sale. The Northern Pacific, it is said,
is close to the secretary of the inte
rior, so close that it has more than
passing influence. The Northern .Pa
cific, it is saldi has instigated an ac
tion to force its rival company from
the field.

PROF. W. B. RISING ,
OF STATE UNIVERSITY,
CALLED BY DEATH
NOTED EDUCATOR
FOUND DEAD IN BED
Prof. W. B. Rising, Identified
With University for 43
Years, Dies
/BERKELEY. Feb. 9.— Prof. Willard
Bradley Rising, oldest in point of
service of the members of the faculty
of the university, experts" in chemistry
and collector of works of art, was
found dead at 6" o'clock this morning
in bed at his liorae at 2203 Chapel
street. Professor Rising was 70 years
of age. For many years he was head
of the department of chemistry at the
university. For several years he had
been ill. a recent attack of grip
hastening the end.
Mrs. Sarah Frances Lawrence Rising,
his widow, is dangerously ill at her
home with an attack of pneumonia and
has not as yet been informed -of her
husband's demise. Her daughter, Mrs.
Ruth Lawrence Rising Menicanti, wife
of an Italian noble, and. a trained nurse
are at her bedside.
Professor Rising, who was born in
New York in 1539, joined the faculty
of the university soon after he re
ceived his degree of master of engi
neering from Michigan in 1567. ' He
had previously graduated from Hamil
ton college with the class of 1864 and
was a classmate of former Secretary
Elihu Root. His connection with the
faculty of the university antedates the
institution, as he was first an in
structor in California college of Oak
land and from which the university
grew.
STUDIED IX GERMANY
Following his appointment as in
structor in natural sciences he went to
Germany and received a degree of doc
tor of philosophy from Heidelberg.
Returning he was made head of the
department of mining and metallurgy
and afterward became head of the de
partment of chemistry, a position
which he held up to his retirement un
der the Carnegie fund a year ago.
A score or more of medals and other
tokens of appreciation of his genius
were presented to him from various
scientific societies and bodies during
his long career as an educator. He
was a member of the jury of award of
the world's Columbian exposition \u25a0 in
1893 and at the Paris exposition of
1900. He held membership in the Ber
lin chemical society, the American so
ciety with the same purpose, the Paris
chemical society. Society of Chemical
Industry of London and the Washing
ton Academy of Sciences and many
others. >-.
He was a member of the Psi Upsilon
fraternity of Hamilton college, the
Sigma Xi scientific society- and the
Phi Beta Kappa scholarship organi
zation of. American colleges.
His collection of works of art was
probably the best -in the city. Profes
sor Rising made several trips to Eu
rope and brought back on each occasion
statuary, bronzes and other antiques
and works of art.
The. university chemist was one of
the old school of professors of the uni
versity, which are gradually passing out
of the faculty ranks. These men, one

SWEETS REST FOOD
FOR GROWING CHILD
Mrs. Meyer E. Jaffa Raises Ban
on Candy and Advises It
V as a Dessert
•. \u25a0 —
BERKELEY, Feb. 9.— ln a lecture de
livered before the-South Berkeley moth
ers' club this afternoon Mrs. Meyer E.
Jaffa, wife of the well known univer
sity professor and state pure food ex
pert, raised the ban against candy for
the children and th\s club indorsed her
views.
She advocated candy for dessert;
more food for the boy than his parents
get, plenty of molasses, meat substi
tutes and bran coffee. She cautioned
the mothers not to be afraid of plenty
of sugar for their children. She said:
Give Johnnie candy for dessert
nut candy especially — and see how
he warms toward you. Honey and
syrup are classed -as sugars. He
needs a fair proportion of* bulky
and concentrated foods each day.
Do not be appalled at his appetite.
He is probably studying more than .
'"'his parents, exercising more and
growing besides.
-He, can make good use of all he
manages to stow away. If he does
not seem to be able to handle the
quantity of food his age demands
there is a strain somewhere in his,
system or his routine which should
be corrected at once.
Everything should take second
place to the question of nourish
ment. Fruit and vegetables have a
hygienic value in the system, but
• after the necessary amount has
been used for this purpose they are
expensive forms of nutrients. Bran
bread is excellent, as its organic
phosphates are very important ele
ments. A good coffee substitute
can be made by toasting bran mois
tened with a little molasses.'
Rest assured that nothing will
make him realize more keenly that
a desire for his best good is his pa
rents' first and last thought than to
be. handed an extra cup of custard
or 'more .'than 'his share of ours or
the last piece of cake or candy, be
cause "he is growing so fast and
needs it."
• The building material or protein
comes first for the growing bones
and muscles- and internal organs.
But he should not get all the pro
tein he needs from meat. It is too
\u0084 great a tax on the kidneys. Give
him plenty of meat substitutes for
breakfast and lunch and he will not
demand so much meat for dinner as
most growing boys do.
Remember that milk, eggs,
cheese, beans and nuts ; furnish
large percentages of protein. Also
that oatmeal and macaroni come
I next in order. Johnnie needs such
foods more than his father- and
-mother do. Soup meat has all the
growing materials still . in it.

OAKLAND TO FLOOD
GLOBE WITH CARDS
"Post CajjJ Day" Will Mark
: V New Era in Municipal
Advertising
. - . ——.;.\u25a0*\u25a0;\u25a0
OAKLAND, Feb:- 3.— With only three
days in which to prepare for postcard
day, the big advertising festival which
the chamber of commerce has arranged
for. next Saturday, Oaklanders are be
ginning- to compile lists of addresses to
which the little boost "cards may be
sent. v.
The cards, which bear artistic colored
drawings of Oakland, with a return
division addressed to* the secretary of
the chamber of commerce, will be for
sale on every street corner in the down
town district,, on the cars, the ferry
boats, at the news stands and stores,
at many down town business offices
and in the chamber of commerce head
quarters. There will also be a big
corps of pretty girls patroling the
streets to see that no pedestrian who
makes his home in Oakland gets
through the day without sending out
at least one of the cards to advertise
his home city. .' .~. s :-.;.
Other cities on the coast have dis
played a great deal of interest in the
outcome of the experimental postcard
campaign, and they are watching to
see whether Oakland will prove its
boast that civic pride and public spirit
are stronger within its confines than
anywhere else in the United States.
"If every citizen of Oakland does
not buy and send away at least two
cards on Saturday," said a prominent
union labor man today, "I shall be
very much, disappointed. I am sure
that every union man in the city will
be willing to spend at least 10 cents to
help boost his city over the whole
world if he will only stop to think of
the importance of his" individual as
sistance. If a working ; man can do
that much, then' the average business
or professional man ought to be able
to do at least twfee as much.
"The chamber of commerce should be
supported in its great advertising
campaign, of which postcard day is but
a detail. If laboring men and other
workers will but stop and consider that
this advertising campaign will un
doubtedly attract a large amount of
capital to Oakland, and that every in
crease in capital means an added de
mand for labor, then they will have
no difficulty in seeing that the cam
paign will actually benefit them."
TRACKS OF ENEMY
END IN THE BUSH
General Vasquez Promises Pres«
ident of Nicaragua to Go
After Revolutionists
v
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. 9. — The
prisoners taken at Las Garitas have ar
rived at Managua. They include several
officers of the revolutionist forces. The
column sent from Boaca in pursuit of
Chamorro reports that he is retiring
in the direction of Rio Grande.
President Madrlz has received the
following from Santo Tomas, dated to
day:
Have returned from the point
where the enemy was reported.
Our force marched 16 miles into the
bush, finding only the tracks of the
enemy. The density of the bush
impeded our further progress,
obliging suspension of the pursuit.
Heavy desertions are completely
disorganizing the enemy. I will
now attend to the pursuit of Cha
morro. VASQUEZ.
Jose Santos Ramirez, minister of
posts and communication under former
President Zelaya, who was arrested
and thrown into jail. about six weeks
ago. is still In confinement, awaiting
trial. ;-> ,
He' will be charged by Madriz with
using the telegraph lines of the coun
try to further the political aims of the
enemies of the government.
Doubt Thrown on Victory
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.— Such details
of the battle of Boaca as have been
able to get through to Washington in
dicate to liatin-American diplomats
here that Chamorro. by what was re
ported as his flight, has simply changed
positions with the Madriz commander,
Vasquez, who now finds himself be
tween two insurgent forces, Chamorro
in front and General Matia in the rear.
, The strategists make the deduction
that, when Chamorro broke through
the lines of Vasquez, he hastened on
toward Granada and is now within 13
miles of the city where the Chamorro
family is all powerful.
"This victory of the Madriz troops
reminds me of one of Mark Twain's
descriptions of a fight," declared a rep
resentative of the Estrada faction,
"when he said. 'I Inserted my nose
between his teeth and pinned him firm
ly to the ground.* Charaorro broke
through the Vasquez forces and fled,
but he fled in the direction of Mana
gua." ;-..';

ALAMEDA, Feb. 9. — J. B. Batchelder.
a local character, and who was long
supposed to be a pauper, died yester
day in a sanatorium at St. llelena,
leaving an estate valued at 113,000..
For years Batchelder was a familiar
sight in Park street. He roamed about
begging food and clothing and when
finally overcome by illness and old age
was befriended by Justice R. B. Tap
pan, -who learned that the man who
had passed himself off as a pauper ha-1
a fortune in th<» bank.
When arrangements were being made
by friends of Batehelder to place him
in a sanatorium, where h«* could receive
the care he required, the old man re
monstrated, arguing that it would cost
a great deal. Upon being told that his
death might result if he was not given
treatment, the aged miser consented to
go to the hospital.
Batchelder was SO years old. lie
leaves several nephews and other rela
tives living in Exeter. Vt. His body Is
to be cremated and the ashes sent tv
