PLAINTIFFS LOSE
$700,000 SUIT
Litigation Involving 1,000,000
Acres of Coal Lands Vic=
tory for Defense
The suit for $700.0«0 begun three
years ago by James A. Ainsa and others
against the Mexican anthracite com
pany, William J. Dingee, Charles D.
Lane, the estate of Alvinza Hayward,
et al., was decided yesterday by Judge
Murasky in favor of the defendants.
The litigation involved 1,000,000 acres
of coal lands in the districts of Alamos,
Guaymas and Hermosillo. state of So
! nora. Mexico. The property is valued
by different parties in -the suit from
$i.. 000,000 all tbe way down to zero.
Tlip suit was on bonds for $700,000
j issued to .lames A. Ainsa, B. IJ. Garcia.
I JeMis Ainsa. F. If. Garcia, George W.
.Jackson. M. Lopez and others. The
! MTvantil** trust company of San Fran
1 oisoo, which guaranted the bonds, was
also named as a defendant. It was
charged that the defendants, in order to
defraud the bond holders, in February,
190r>, abandoned the mine property, al
lowing title to revert to the Mexican
government. Correspondence between
Aivinza Hayward, C. P. Eagan and A.
J. Uhlman would show, the plaintiff
charged, that the lapsing of the lease
was part of a concerted fraud against
the plaintiffs. Hayward. it was as
serted in their complaint, dominated
and controlled the company.
Testimony adduced in the trial of the
suit failed to substantiate any of these
accusations. It was shown that Hay
ward. Dingee, Lane and other mining
magnates put up about $35,000 to test
the value of the property for coal pur
poses and decided • that it was not
worth developing.
Bank to Foreclose j
The Hibernia bank won judgment in
Judge Seawell's court yesterday against
William Helbing for' the foreclosure
of a mortgage of $170,000 on realty in
the southeast side of Market street,
northeast of Seventh. Since the mort
gage was given. January 17, 1906, the
property has changed hands several
times. It will be .sold at auction as
the result of Judge Seawell's judgment
and if it realizes less than $170,000 the
deficiency must be made good by Hol
bing.
The various sales of the property
since Helbing obtained the mortgage
from the bank are as follows: From
Helbinc: to H. IT. Dana, to the .Occi
dental real estate company, to Frank
W. Leis. to Tilden, to Swayne & Co., to
K. F. Weston- i
Glass Files Answer
Louis Glass, former vice president of
the Pacific states telephone company,
who was convicted of bribery, filed an j
{»nswer yesterday to the suit of E. J. ;
le Breton, receiver of the California ;
safe deposit and trust company, for
$10.575 on a promissory note executed
by Glass to the bank September 21,
ISOS. On that date Glass bought 75
shares of stock in the bank, giving as
security his note. He % sets up as a. de
fenso that the shares were not suf
ficient consideration for the note and
that as a matter of fact they were
worthless because at that date the lia
bilities of the institution exceeded the
assets by several million dollars. Thfr
officials of the bank defrauded him, he
complains, by telling him tho bank
was solvent and that its assets ex
reeded its liabilities by $520,000. Cer
tain telephone stock deposited by Glass
as collateral for the note was subse
quently sold by the bank. Glass sues
the receiver for $2,25S on this stock.

CASE AGAINST DUNPHY
DISMISSED BY COURT
Charge Resulting From Draft on
Bank Disposed Of
The criminal charge ag:ainst J. C.
Dunphy of givinjE: George Cornet a
draft for 5100 upon the United States
national bank of San Francisco, in
which he had no funds, was dismissed
hy Judge Cabaniss yesterday upon th 6
niotion of Assistant District Attorney
Bronnan, who said that there was no
testimony available that would justify
a conviction.
Dunphy, it is understood, has paid
the $100, and Cornet therefore has no
wish to pre?s the charge.
'I think one John Barleycorn should
have been informed against in this
casr," observed Judge Cabaniss in dis
missing the case. "In his hands Dun
phy is as clay in the hands of the pot
ter" ' . .
WITNESSES IN CALHOUN
CASE ARE SUBPENAED
Fickert Preparing for Trial of
Streetcar Magnate
Subpenas for 130 witnesses- against
Patrick Calhoun were issued by Dis
trict Attorney Fickert yesterday. This
action was in consonance with the di
rection of Judge Lawlor, who Monday
de,nied Fickert's motion to dismiss the
case. Whether or no the trial will ac
tually begin at that time is still doubt
ful. As the matter stands* the district
attorney was asked by the court to be
ready to make a showing with refer
ence to the absent witness, James F.
Gallagher, if he is not prepared to start
the trial.

; ternatiotial. union for s-fan Francisco.
Many communications from .different
parts of the country have been received
giving assurance that the delegates 'to
the international convention this 1 year
will boost for San Francisco. .
Tlie union, through its label commit
tee, is making an effort to draw the at
tention of ' the people of this city to
the allied printing trades label. #
It is having the label displayed in
one of the local theaters' and draws at
tention to tbe union printers' home .ht

on fine paper and is illustrated with
clear photogravure views of ; the new
i library, the remodeled assembly' room,
: the new dining room and the new

ing recent changes and improvements
that have been made at this place,
maintained for- the comfort of" aged
printers and proclaimed by visitors who
have viewed and investigated other
homes as the .model institution of its
kind in the United States. -
The library is the result of an effort
to erect a monument to the memory of
the late Amos J. Cummings, "for many
years a member of the international
body and a congressman. \u25a0 Money was
collected to -have a suitable memorial
and when at the Boston convention it
was announced that there was $13,000
in the fund the board. of trustees of the
home, consisting of James M. Lynch,
Thomas McCaffery. J. W. Hays, Anna
C. Wilson, 1... C. Shepard, T. F. Crow
ley, T. D. Fennessy, with George' P.
Nichols agent and Charles Deacon
superintendent, was given control of
the fund "to be used by the trustees
in such manner as will appeal to their
judgment as being the most beneficial
and nearest meeting the wishes of the
donors of the magnificent sum raised."
The Denver convention indorsed the
plan for a library and authorized the
further collection of funds to increase
the memorial.

was accidentally killed by a railroad
train near Roseville Wednesday night.

to interview the officers of the Panama
canal exposition to ascertain if they
wiJl permit Japanese to .bo employed
in the administrative buildings or in

will be refused. Since then two other
applications by Chinese for laundry
permits were denied.
He also reported that the Sunset and
Golden Rule Japanese laundries are
losing trade every week and that bo
fore long the latter will be out of busi
ness.
During the last week 260 letters were

$25,000 REQUIRED
FOR ARMORY SITE
Real Estate Board Solicits Aid
From Property Owners to
Complete Purchase
Unless the sum of $25,000 shall be
raised by the end of the present month
by the San Francisco real estate board
the proposal to build a great armory
for the coast artillery at Van Ness
avenue and Bay street will be aban
doned and the appropriation of $120,000
made by the state of California for the
construction of the building will lapse.
. The appropriation was made upon the
condition that the people of San Fran
cisco should raise, $100,000 .to pay for
the armory site that was. to be ap
proved by Governor Gillett. The funds
to pay for the site were to be col
lected by the San Francisco real estate
board. Of the $100,000 necessary to
pay for the site $75,000. or about that
amount, has been subscribed by prop
erty owners of San Francisco.
A committee consisting of the fol
lowing members of the real estate
board was appointed to solicit sub
scriptions and to present the merits of
the case to the people:
Frederick Magre Landry C. Rabin

To ; this committee is due the credit
for collecting the $75,000. On this com
mittee rests the responsibility of get
ting in $20,0f>0 mpre this month to buy
the site at Van Ness avenue and Bay
street Tho option on- the land expires
March 1.
The matter is considered by leading
real estate men to be of the first im
portance. Many owners of realty will
be approached in the next IS days and
urged to prevent the loss which the
city would sustain if the armory scheme
rhould fail.
HABEAS CORPUS WRIT
IS DENIED AUTOIST
• ' - '\u25a0 — *
Supreme Court Declines to Take
Action in Case
A writ of habeas corpus was denied
J. H. Snowdon yesterday in the case of
the city of Los Angeles versus Snow
den by the supreme court.
Snowden is made the defendant by
the southern city in. a case alleging
that he. violated the city law, which
holds that it is illegal for automobiles
or other vehicles to travel the city
streets at a speed exceeding .15 miles
an hour. The application for a writ
of habeas corpus was made on the
ground that the law conflicts with a j
state statute and is consequently in- |
valid.
In .handing down its decision the su
preme court maintained that the matter
is at the present time in the hands of
the police court, adding that the Ques
tion of the validity of the law. would
be looked into in case an appeal was
taken I from the decision of the lower
court. . -

E=M*F Company Sends Out
Statement That Injunction
Has Been Denied
MichigL.i Court Said to Have Af*
firmed Right to Rescind
Selling Agreement
R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU
The Pacific motor car company, the
local agents for. the K-M-F company,
received yesterday the following dis
patch from the home office at Detroit:
"Judge Swan, sitting in the United
States circuit court, southern district!
of Michigan, at Detroit, today handed
down his decision in the case of the
Studebakcrs vs. K-M-F automobile
company,'denying the injunction asked
for by the Studebakers to restrain the
E-M-F company from rescinding the
sales-agreement between the two con
cerns and marketing its products di
rect."
This decision is most important in
that it finally determines the right of
the. E-M-F company to contract with
agents and dealers direct for the sale of
E-M-F "30" and Flanders "20" auto
mobiles and confirms the exclusive
rights of dealers and agents who have
contracted with the E-M-F company
since December 9, when . the Stude
bakers sales contract was rescinded by
President Flanders.
Judge Swan's decision has been anx
iously awaited for several weeks by
hundreds of automobile dealers and
agents op whom it is far reaching In
its effect. Its immediate result will be
to compel the Studebakers to refund
dealers' deposits amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars, which "they
have been witholding in hopes of forc
ing the E-M-F company through the
suit , just decided, to deliver cars
through them.
Being unable to obtain E-M-F or
Flanders cars, the Studebakers will, of
course, have no alternative but to can
cel all contracts they have made for
the sales of these cars either to indi
vidual buyers or through dealers.

KENNEL CLUB CAN
NOW TRY ELLERY
Injunction Obtained by Breeder
of Collies Dissolved by
Judge Sturtevant
The Pacific advisory committee^ of
the American kennel club is now at
liberty to' try William Ellery. proprie
tor of the Valverde collie kennels, on
the charge of falsifying the ages and
pedigrees of dogs entered by him at
the last show of the California kennel
club. Judge Sturtevant yesterday ren
dered judgment for the defendants in
the case instituted by Ellery to re
strain the trial. The temporary, in-*
Junction obtained by Ellcry's attorneys
three months ago was dissolved.
The advisory committee, sued by El
lery. individually and as members of
the committee, consists of Nat T. Mes»
«er. H. 11. Carlton. W. P. Ilurnhanx.
J: P. Norman and W. W. Stetthetmer.
These men officially notified Ellery thac
he was charged with falsely stating the
ages and breeding of dogs and set a
date for the trial of the charges. El
lery asserted that the acusatlons w»ro
untrue, but asked the court to re
strain the committee from trying him.
The judgment rendered in favor of
the committee yesterday had no ref
erence to the merits of the accusations
of cheating, but was based purely on,
a proposition of law. J*idge Sturt<?
vant found that it had not been shown
that the defendant committee had any
right to try Ellery or anybody else.
The court refused to restrain the de
fendants from doing what was an idla
thing, so far as anything to the con
trary was shown.
