Call and Bulletin Of San Francisco Will
bo offered for Sale.
SAN Francisco AN action has been
begun in the Superior Court that will
probably result in radical changes in the
management Of two OF San Francisco's g
leading daily newspapers. George X.
Fitch, the surviving partner Of the late
Loring Pickering and the late James w.
simonton in the ownership Of the Morn
ing Call and Evening Bulletin. filed q
petition praying for the appointment Of
q receiver of the Call and Bulletin prop
critics. He asks that the receiver so
appointed be ordered to sell the Call
property and ten days subsequently to
sell the Bulletin at public auction or pri-
vate sale to the highest bidder for cash.
Mr.. Fitch asks for final accounting be-
tween all the parties in interest. 1t is
said that strained relations between Mr..
Fitch and r. A. Carothers, who repre-
sents the Pickering interests, is the cause
of Fitch's application for receiver.

Of Private Land Claims, which has just
closed its session here, disposed Of thir-
teen grant claims--four in Arizona and
the others in New Mexico-having to-
tai area OF 1,875.2O2 acres. The court
confirmed to private ownership 366,627
acres, and held ], 100000 as being gov
ernment land. Among the larger grants
20 held to be void and public domain
were the Babocomari grant in Arizona
for 12S,000 acres, the Gervaeio- Nolan
grant in New Mexico for $4,000 acres
and the Corpus Christi grant in Colorado
for COG, 900 acres. The court in passing
upon the Arizona grants held that those
made by the State Of Sonora were void ;
aiao that the grants made by the Inten-
dentes subsequently to February "a, 1921,
the date OF the plan OF Iguala, were void.
This will leave only three claims in Ari-
zona that can possibly be confirmed.

neflnition II ! chine.e Merchsnt.

SAN Francisco. o.-Judge Morrow of the
United States Court in decision defined
what constitutes Chinese merchant.
Quan Gin, Chinese who claimed to be
q merchant, had been detained on the
steamer Belgic at this port on her return
from China. Commissioner Pescock de-
cided in favor Of Quan Gin, and the case
was appealed. Judge Morrow held that
Chinese claiming to be merchant and
making application for entrance into the
United States on the ground that he was
formerly engaged in this country as a
merchant, is required by the act of No
vember 8, 1893. to establish by the testi-
mony of two credible witnesses other
than Chinese that the applicant was en-
gagged in business at fixed place, and
that it was conducted in his name at
least one year before his departure, 80
that during the year he was engaged in
no manual labor. Quan Gin cannot an
swer these requirements; so he was or
dered deported.

the Admiralty to bid for the construc-
ton of some Of the new ships to be built
for the British navy under the program
for the current year, Charles H. Cramp,
President of the company, said: "Such
is the case, and it is not secret. In

dressed letter to the Secretary of the
Admiralty, offering to build two or more
ships under their program, and l have
official acknowledgement of its receipt,
which is simply statement by the Sec
retary that he has laid my proposal be
fore the Board OF Commissioners" Mr.
Cramps letter to the Secretary OF the
Admiralty is as follows: "Sir: have
seen in public print that there is under
contemplation q p-building program
for the increase of her Majesty's navy
Congress seems disinclined at this tims
TO pursue in any adequate degree tht
construction of an American navy; henct
we are free to accept orders from othe
governments. These considerations i'm
pei me to address you for the purpose o
asking opportunity to make tenders TO
the construction OF two or more OF th'
proposed new ships. The success whicf
has attended our work for the American
navy and the remarkable performance o
propelling machinery we have mad
speak for themselves. Our developmen
OF the most approved appliances and de
vices in hulls and machinery has beer
so marked as to attract the attention o
the naval architects and engineers OF
the continent as well as in Great Brit
ain. Offering the New York, the Co
lumbia and the Indiana as object lessons
we do not shrink from comparison witt
your best builders. 1t is not necessar
to discuss in detail the question OF price
but l will say that for vessels of tn
highest type our figures would bear scru

pally employed in contract work for he
Majesty. II you will favor me wit

EXPLAINS pAIToN's DREAM.
Minister Tells What can be Proven by Ds. ton IS
Dream.

Rev. Vail, pastor of the Unitarian church.
made very apt application OF the dream
of Bill Dalton's brother to the German
idea of the mind.
The dream referred to occurred at the
time of Bill Dalton's death and was seem
ingly a coincidence in time aud occurrence.
IL Was published in the EAGLE at that
time.
Rev. Vail made a short review of the
different kinds of dreams referring to
those caused by unwise diet and those by
suggestion as when Napoleon dreamed of
Il battle by having bomb burst under his
carriage. He referred to the class of
dreams TO which Dalton's belonged, aud
cited as like cases Robert Louis Steven
sons dreaming out DR.. Jeckel and Mr..
Hyde also To Coleridge dreaming out
kubla Khan and other like cases.
These, he said, all showed that the
mind may be influenced by other minds
as may work without the body, which in
future years may be u means of showing
that the mind is a unity, an individuality
apart from the body aud working apart
from it at times, although while in wax
ing moments always working through
il and its five senses.
He said If this is once thoroughly proven
there will be proof of the immortality Of

The southern part of this county was
visited late yesterday by what's sAld 10 De
The most terrible cloud burst that has
ever occurred in this valley.
Both the Western Union and telephone
wires are all down and it is impossible TO
send message as far even as Derby. Ow-
ing to this fact no details can be learned
except rumors
That the big Derby bridge, owned by
this county and which spans the Arkan-
sas river. has been swept away is pretty
well authenticated. 1t has been partly
clogged up with logs and brush since the
high water set in ten days ago and the
sudden downpoGr of water on the obstruc-
tion yesterday caused the bridge to go
down. 1t is said by people who came up
on the train last night and who heard the
reports that in a few minutes the Arkan-
sas raised about six feet at Derby caused
by the avalanche, of water that rolled In
from the land beneath the cloud burst
Mulvsne also got il. The report from
there is that water fell upon the town like
Niagara II didn't fall in drops bat IN
vast bodies, a Santa te engine that
stood at the depot bad barely
time to back Up to high ground before it
was dead The people in the depot had to
seek refuge on the high ground where the
business center is located. In the east
part of the town, in a Draw, the water Is
said to have been seven feet deep. Water
was over knee deep in several houses, and
piano was drowned that was bought in
this city few days ago for $500. The
Santa Fe track Was badly damaged, and
the train from the south last night had TO
drive through several feet of water. 1t is
SAID that the dnwnpour extended nearly
as far south as Wellington.
Haysville was visited by a severe hail
and rain storm and it is said that good
deal of damage was done there.
Hail also fell ont on College Hill and ex-
tsnded for some miles eastward.
Information from Newton is to the eff
feet that an immense hail storm prevailed
there
Hutchinson enjoyed a sand storm which,
probably, is the basis OF the cyclone re
port that came from there. 1t is said that
the atmosphere was more sand than air
and midnight darkness prevailed. 1t is
also said that the chickens Went to roosJ
thinking it was night
Passengers who came in on the Missouri
Pacific said that heavy rains prevailed all
over eastern Kansas and western Missouri,
the heaviest extending from FL Dorado to
Fort Scott and lighter rain extending as
tar east as Rich Hill.
The rain here was quite heavy and the
wind was threatening. Several trees were
blown down and for little while it was
not safe TO travel along the side streets
the branches Of trees Were falling So pro-
miscuously.
The indications are that the rain did not
extend very far dne west.
