JUDGE CLARK DECLINES.
HE WILL NOT SEND MRS. PRATT'S
WILL TO SAN FRANCISCO.
Arguments Made by Attorneys In the
Oase-rhe Supreme Court Will
Be Asked to Interfere
in the Matter.

An attempt was made yesterday by
Attorney Hanlon Of San francisco, in
Judge Clark's court, to have the will of
Mrs. Annie Pratt transferred from his
court to that of Judge Coffey in San
Francisco for probate, who had granted
speCiKl letters of administration to Mrs.
Goodspeed Immediately after Mrs.
Pratt's death.
The hearing upon the motion took
place in the morning and a part OF the
afternoon.
Mr.. Hanlon made an argument in
support of his motion and cited numer-
GUS authorities, which did not, however,
seem to convince the court.
There was quite an array of other at
torneys in the case, and Gen. John
Mansfield occupied seat among them.
Mr.. Hanlon claimed that Judge COT
fey had acquired jurisdiction in the pro-
bate matter by virtue of the action
already taken.
During the proceedings Judge Silent
produced a telegram announcing that
Judge Coffsy had dismissed the citation
for General Mansfield to produce the
will in his court March 9th yesterday.
After the arguments Judge CLARK de-
MED the motion to disniss the proceed
ings in his court and transfer the case
to San Francisco without prejudice.
Mr.. Hanlon gave notice that he would
attempt to secure action by the supreme
court in the matter, and a motion for a
writ of prohibition or writ of review
will probably be made by him this
morning, when the hearing upon the
probate of the will comes up.
Judge Clark stated from the bench
that he would consent to reasonable
time for Mr.. Hanlon to prepare for such
proceedings.

Scientists say that the disease germs

Scientists say that the disease germs
contained in the sputum of persons hav-
ing consumption, will retain vitality
long after the sputum is elected and
dried up. Should such germs be set
free in the atmosphere and inhaled by
any person, the beginning of consump-
tion would. according to good authority,
be the result. Now, it is a common
practice in the city to take mats from
floors OF places oGpublicfesort and beat
them against posts on the sidewalks.
This is done ct times when crowds of
people are upon the streets, and clouds
of poisonous and filthy dust fill the air
the people must breathe. This ia not
only filthy. but is also q dangerous
practice, and means should be taken to
prevent its continuance.
