Evidence was heard yesterday after
noon in the license transfer case Of
George Hilwig, Of PriCeburg, to Martin
Wilkes. Wilkes was represented by
Attorneys Huislander & Vosburg, and
Joseph O'Brien opposed the transfer.
A number Of witnesses were sworn

terry Mt Plymouth, but was acquitted Of
the charge when placed on trial; that
Wilkes was in a measure connected
with the melting Of the Polish church
riots at Plymouth, and he had n hand
in shutting the doors of the church
against the bishop. He also, it was
stated, broke the leg of policeman
who arrested participators in the riots.
These charges were not fully sub
stantiated, but the proof was such as
to create doubts In the mind OF the
court as to Wilkes being the right kind
of man to engage in the liquor busi-
ness, and the transfer Of license was
accordingly refused.

AFTER GENERAL EZETA.
San saivadorIans Want the Ex-Presiden
 tial Refugee Extradited.


 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug l5.-In naval cir cles and along the water front here live. ly interest has been awakened in the case of Antonio Ezeta, tho dcposed president of San Salvador, who Is now on board the United States steamship Bennington with three other refugees from San Salvador
 The probable outcome of charges which have been brought in California courts by the existing San Salvadorian govern ment, which is excrting every effort to OK tradite the refugees, Is lost sight of at present in the general expectancy of the developments when the Bennington shall arrive at any time Many confiictin ru. mors of action by the local government officials arc heard, but nothing dcflnite can bc learned.
 It is generally belived, however, that the government will intercept the Bon. nington and hold her outside tho heads until the warrant for Ezeta's arrest ar rives from Washington.
 It is known that ono swift tugboat hns been cruising outside she Golden Gntc all day, and 1t is rumorcd that she hns on board number of naval officers from Marc island. At the tug office it is ad. mitted that this craft is on a special mis- sion, but her owners refuse to state what her mission is or who arc on bnarSl
 X report is that the monitor Monterey, which sailed Monday ostensibly for Puget sound, has been sent out to signal the Bennington and keep her without until the authorities have perfected their ar- engagements for the arrest of tho refugecs
 Tho attorneys who came on from Now York in the interest of tho government of San Salvador arc very active. but they arc not moro alert than tho lawyers who have been employed by Ezsta's friends and who tried to sue out writs of habcas corpus, claiming that the refugees arc illegally restrained It Is likely to guard against habeas corpus proceedings that the Bcn- ningtOn will bc kept outside tho thrce mile limit pending the arrival of tho war rants that have been forwarded from Washington.
