Districts.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 29.-The COM
mittee for relief for children of the
famine stricken districts reported that
in many sections the children are SO
poorly nourished that they are too
feeble to undertake the long walk, which
in many instances requires an hours
time, to the schools where soup is doled
up to the unfortunates. They have been
reduced to eating most unwholescme
and disgusting things, from which ami
mails would revolt, including filthy rags
and quantities OF earth. The teachers
in the public schools have received no
salary since last fall, and are in almost
as bad condition as the children.

She Wins Her Suit With the Centinela
Land Company.
The property dispute involved in the
suit between Mr.. Dan Freeman and Mrs.
Allie Kiefer has been disposed of by a
decision rendered by Judge Wade in
favor of the defendant. Mrs. Kiefer.
This was an action to foreclose a ven-
doris lien on block of land at Ingle-
wood. In her cross complaint the defend
antset up the claim that she hadbeen in
duced to make the trade by reason OF false
representations which she alleged were
made in boom days with regard to the
building of a college and other extern
sive improvements, which were to be
made at Inglewood.
Judge Wade in closing his opinion
says:
'The final conclusion arrived at is
that on the findings herein the cross
complainant is entitled to Judgment
that the notes still held by plaintiff, and
the contract, be cancelled, and for the
return of the money paid by cross COM
plainant as prayed in the cross-com-
plant and for her costs also for the
amount paid for taxes on the land. The
judgment for the money should run
against plaintiff, who will be entitled to
receive the deed of the premises, depos-
tied by defendant Kiefer with the clerk
of the court, and it is 80 ordered"

THE TIE THAT BINDS.

The Trouble In which an East Side
Woman Finds Herself.
The Los Angeles Terminal Railway
company up until within a short time
ago had between 10000 and 5000 ties
piled up in the vicinity of Myers street
In East Los Angeles. AS the days
passed the officials of the road noticed
that the pile of ties was growing beauti-
fully less in dimensions. The suspicion
arose that perhaps some one was en-
bracing the opportunity to get firewood
very cheap and helping themselves to
the ties.
Detective Insley's services were called
In and some of his men were put to
work on the case. Ties were found in a
number of back yards in East Los Ange-
les, but the owners had not the slight
est idea how they got there.
A lady named Madame Escallier, re.
siding on Meyers street, had forty-seven
ties in the cellar of her residence. AS
she could not explain how they got
there, warrant for her arrest was
issued by Justice Owens yesterday
afternoon.
The railroad company have hereto.
fore warned people against taking the
ties. but the notice has gone unheeded

HE PROPOSES TO FIND GAS.
Mr.. |. w. Hellman's Plans on
the RepettO Ranch.
He Thinks There Is Large Supply
of the Fluid.
A vsry Deep Well to Be Sunk at Once.
A Thorough, Investigation Results
Most SatisfactoriIy--Pros-
poets Excellent.

| The HERALD exclusively some months
ago announced the discovery of natural
gas at the Repetto ranch, owned by
|. w. Hellman, a mile or so east oil
Boyle Heights. The well in which the
gas was found was sunk for water, and
at first Mr.. Hellman was inclined to
doubt the value of the find. Since then,
however, he has had made thorough
examination of the ranch geologically,
and has had experts come from the gas
regions of Pennsylvania and Ohio, and
they have prepared exhaustive studies
of the situation, which indicate most
favorable prospects.
The result of the investigations con-
vinced Mr.. Hellman that there was
good reason to believe that the supply
of gas was practically inexhaustible, and
of great value to himself and to this city,
the interests of which are so closely
identified with those of the money king.
Accordingly he has decided to invest
considerable money in developing the
gas supply, with view of furnishing it
to Los Angeles for heat, light and power
purposes.
1t was learned yesterday from Mr..
Richard Garvey, Mr.. Hellman's man
ager for the rancho. that contract
would be signed today for the sinking of
ten-inch well, fifteen hundred feet deep,
in the strata where the gas was found.
II, as there is every reason to believe
will be the case, this work results in
the finding OF a large supply, pipe
| line to this city will be at once con-
! structed. The great Importance of this
development to this locality can hardly
| be overestimated, as it is very possible
that it will solve the cheap fuel ques-
| tion.
Mr.. Hellman's we'll known conserva-
tism and excellent Judgment are suffi-
cient evidence that his information
about the chances of success is, very
| complete and very satisfactory.

MORE AGAINST CALKINS
AN INTERESTING SUPREME COURT
DECISION.
Questions Arising From Trust Deed :.
The Points of Law which Are
Involved in the
Opinion.

Clerk Ashmore of the Supreme Court
received the following opinion in an i'm
portant suit which has been before that
body:
More, administrator, appellant, and
Calkins ct al, espondents-The plaintiff
is the administrator of the estate OF
Alexander s. More, deceased, and the
prayer Of the complaint fled in the
action is that certain trust deed exc
cuted by the deceased in his lifetime be
declared void, and that defendant,
Calkins be enjoined from selling the
land, water ditch and water rights con-
veyed by said deed under the power
which is given thereby. The case was
here before. The opinion upon the for
mer appeal is reported in 85 CAL, III,
and the deed referred to ia there set out
in full.
After the decision upon the former
appeal the plaintiff filed a supplemental
complaint, in which it is alleged that
the plaintiff did not within the time
limited by section 1893 of the code of
civil procedure present the claims Sc
cured by said deed to the plaintiff as
administrator OF Alexander S. More, de-
ceased, and it is averred that the same
are barred by sections 1885 1900 and
1902 of the code of civil procedure.
The judgment of the superior court
was that the deed executed by Calkins
to his co-defendant Hull be cancelled,
and it further directed that the property
conveyed by defendant Calkins by the
deed of trust executed by deceased be
sold. and said Judgment also determined
the amount which the defendant Calk-
ins, as trustee, is entitled to retain out
Of the proceeds of such sale, in which
amount is included the sum of $4,000,
which is provided for in the deed re-
ferred to. The plaintiff appeals from
the judgment. The supreme court re-
verses the judgment, with directions to
the superior court to modify its judg-
ment by striking out the allowance of
$4,000 to Calkins and allowing him a
reasonable compensation upon the set
element OF the trust, to be fixed by the
cOi1rt
