WILLIAM N. LEETE DEAD.
Close of the Career of Once PrOmi-
nent Pioneer Merchant and
Mining Man..

William N. Leete, better known among
mining men as "Bill' Leete, pioneer
miner and merchant of California and the
Comstock, died at 848 Howard street in
this City on August Is at a ripe old age.
Mr.. Leete. who came to California in the
fifties, settled at Michigan Bluffs, in
Placer County, where he conducted a gen.
eral merchandise business until 1859, re-
moving then to Virginia City, where he
engaged in mining with much success.
After the decline of the Comstock he lived
a retired life on the means accumulated
during his active business career.
The deceased was much respected wher-
ever known for his integrity and great
business sagacity, which led many leaders
in business life in the early days to consult
him when any weighty project was to be
launched. Both the late Senator Stanford
and Mark Hopkins were intimate friends
of Mr. Leete, and it is said that at the time
the scheme of continental railroad was
preached they asked his advice on the
matter and requested him to join them in
the enterprise. He foresaw difficulties
which were later overcome, and thus
missed accommodating one of the fortunes
which afterward made his two friends
famous.
Samuel Leete once State Senator from
Placer County, was brother of the de-
ceased. Mr.. Leete remained single through
out his life

A Test Question on Streetcar Transfers
Before the Court.


Before the Court.
A case of great interest to streetcar pas
sengers was heard before Justice of the
Peace Carroll yesterday. The point at
issue involves the right of passenger to
use transfer after the time punched on it
has elapsed.
William Cunningham boarded Market
street car at the ferry and rode to Powell
street, where he was given transfer to the
Powell-street line. The transfer was
punched Ito expire at IL o'clock" Before
using the bit of pasteboard Cunningham
stepped over to Fifth street and visited a
friend 1t was nearly 2 o'clock when he
left the house and resumed his trip on
Powell-street car. The conductor told Cum
ningham that the time on the transfer had
expired and that he would have to pay
fare. The parties differed in their state
ments as to what was said and done. Any
how, Cunningham got eft the car at Bush
street and sued the railroad company for
5000 damages.
Cunningham claimed that even if the
transfer was punched it was good, accord
ing to law, if used within six months from
the date of issue; also that the company
was compelled, by a State law, to carry
passenger to the end of its line or connec-
tons for single fare.
He testified that the conductor put his
hand on his shoulder in getting him off
the car at Bush street.
Frank Kenville, the conductor, denied
this, and stated that Cunningham got off
the car voluntarily.
"Haven't you orders to put passengers
off the car who try to ride on an expired
transfer, and who refuse to pay five
cents?'
NO" answered the conductor. 'The
orders are to let them alone. Of course
we try to collect the. fare. but if they re-
fuse to pay it we let them alone. When 1
told Cunningham the transfer had expired
he answered, You can put me off. | want
to see what | can do about suing the COM
pany for damages
The case hinges on the construction of a
section in the code as to whether street
railways come under the same head as
steam railways. The case was submitted
on briefs, and will be decided in about a
month.

Pres byterian Union.

Rev. Donald Nj. Ross gave paper on
"Family Worship" at the Presbyterian
Ministerial Union. He advocated family
prayers as necessary agency in spiritual
growth.
Rev. Herbert Bevier, commenting upon
it, said: Zone of the weaknesses in Chris
tan home life in California to-day is the
lack of family worship
Rev. Mr.. Mcbride thought there were
many kinds of spiritual endeavor, but the
proper source of the power was the family
Elder Roberts said he was of the opin-
ion that not one-fourth of the church mem
bers held family worship.
DR.. MentCn thought the home the most
important educating influence
Rev. r. Y. Griffiths thought if the lead
ers of family worship used the same
thoughts and words in family worship it
would lose most of its interest.
Rev. Mr.. Fish thought there was great
danger from the intermarriage of Christian
young women with ungodly young men,.
In such cases why shouldn't the wife pray
with her children even if her husband did
not sympathize?
Rev. Donald Ross in closing the discus
sion said the better state of affairs in that
respect could be brought about through
pastoral relations.

vidual fee of several hundred dollars was
not exorbitant, but the bulk of that $11 900
went to pay certain alleged attorneys
fees.
Frederick Eugene Kennedy further
averred: "Out of the proceeds of the sale
of a piece of property sold for $4,000 / re-
ceived $780, which was invested for me in
lots on the Mission road. A few months
afterward those lots were sold for $500,
the half of which received and paid from
time to time for legal expenses in carrying
on the estate.
Ever since l was appointed admins
traitor of the estate of my brother, Edward
I. Kennedy, | have been trying to bring
about a settlement, but without success.
One delay followed another, due to the en-
tanglement attributable to my sister-in-
laws inexperienced conduct, and all the
time the shrinkage goes on. But the end
is coming. l am in for fighting now, and
before get through there will be grand
expose. l am bound to get my rights, and
if | cannot get all that l was originally
entitled to according to the recorded value
of the estate, l will get what they have
deigned to leave me or die in the attempt"

officials acknowledging the legality OF such
residence, and especially during the recent war
with Japan, requesting Ministers OF foreign
nations to notify missionaries to remain at
their posts, and promising all such the full
protection of the Chinese Government

this Nation, and their calling is recognized by
all civilized nations as thoroughly legitimate,
and they are entitled to the full protection of
this Nation as much as If engaged in any other

DIR. A. J. Nelson was introduced. He

Davis used to live. He had understood
that Professor Royce's position was to be
discussed and he had come prepared to
give his views on that subject. He was re-
duested to proceed on that line and he
said: "The greatest thinkers of the past
had no philosophical or scientific concep-
ton of God. 1t was to Socrates and Plato
an inner revelation. All we can learn OF

hearty applause.

be invited to address the meeting.

Royce long time and believed his ten
