STACKS TWO ASSISTANTS,
The Trustees Have Appointed
Olney and Busley to the
Positions.
Both Were Recommended to the
Board by the New Head Of
the Faculty.

The trustees of the Hastings Law Col
lege met yesterday and filed the positions
of assistant instructors. which have been
created since Judge Slack was promoted to
the head of the institution.
Judge Slack had been asked to recon-
mend two men for the places and he SUBJ
mitted the names of Warren Olney Jr. and
r. S. Busley to the board. 1t was upon
these recommendations that the board
acted yesterday, and both young men were
put in without question. Olney is the son
of Warren Olney well-known attorney
of this City. He is recent graduate of
the Hastings College and was student
under Judge Slack. Busley is a graduate
of Yale and came to this coast highly rec
commended by the faculty there.
The new instructors will each receive
$500 year. Their places are the result of
a new order of things at the college insti-
tuted after the departure of McKinstry
from the head of the faculty. The faculty
then consisted of only McKinstry and
Slack, but under the new order of things,
while Judge Stacks salary Is raised con-
vided instead of two, the amount paid for
salaries has been cut down. The new APP
pointees take Office at once.
The board also appointed two of its num-
bers to form a committee to cooperate
with those in charge of the arrangements
for site for the Affiliated Colleges. 1t
was done mainly to keep in touch with the
efforts being made and not with view OF
taking any more active interest in the
matter, if that were possible, than at for
merly.

C|PR|CO FOUND GUILTY,
He Was in a Conspiracy to
Forge and Utter Chinese
Certificates.
the Famous Certificate Frauds
of 1888.

Ferdinand D. Ciprico was yesterday con-
victed of a conspiracy to forge and utter
Chinese registration certificates by jury
in the United States District Court yester-
day. His defense was very peculiar one.
He contended that he was really in the
plot to aid the Government and obtain in
formation for 0. D. Stidger, who was act
ing for the Internal Revenue Agent. Car
roll Cook, his attorney, made the most of
bad case, but failed to do anything with
the jurors, who found the prisoner guilty

Gates" and conspiracy to forge and utter
Chinese certificates"
Judge Morrow set the date of passing
sentence for next Thursday. The chances
are that the last count in the indictment
will be ignored, as it embodies the other
two, and that Ciprico will get four years in
Folsom, where Foss, his partner in crime,
is now serving a similar sentence. The
latter pleaded guilty to one charge of con-
spiracy and two of smuggling opium.
When the District Court opened yester-
dav morning Judge Morrow began his adj
dress to the jury. 1t was an impartial
statement of the facts, and every body ex-
pected verdict would be reached in few
minutes. The jury was out nearly three
quarters of an hour, however, the only
point discussed being the number of counts
on which they should find the prisoner
guilty. Ciprico had hope to the last, al

MRS. GALLAGHER'S ESTATE
Father Nugent Answers to the
Charge About the
Requests.
Disposition of the Estate Made Ac-
cording to a Plan Formed
Years Ago.

Rev. Dennis Nugent of st. Roses
Church, executor of the Ellen Gallagher
will, filed an answer yesterday in the con-
test over the estate denying that the be-
quests in favor of the church had been OBJ
tanned by undue influence.
Mrs. Gallagher left an estate of $144, 200,
as will be remem bered, and she bequeathed
it almost entirely to the church and the
clergy.
Father Nugent, in his answer, admits all
the allegations relating to the estate, in
Guiding the sale of property at 213 and 215
Kearny street to Hirshfelder, for $S1 500.
He admits that he received from the estate
$50, 1927 20 as trustee, aud declares that the
money was for the erection of new church
in st. Roses parish. He admits that
SO, 800, in property on Folsom street, was
entrusted to him Tor Archbishop Riordan,
and that the money is intended for the
education of orphans in st. Roses parish,
as desired by Mrs. Gallagher.
A general denial is made in regard to the
charge that Mrs. Gallagher had been I'M
duly influenced. Father Nugent stated
that although he gave advice to Mrs. Gal
lagher about the disposal of her property,
the woman followed out her own wishes in
making the requests. 1t had been her in
Ieutiou lOr years 10 ulSpOSe VI Ine property
as she did, and no effort of any kind was
made 10 direct or influence her IN the
case.
Attorney Hayes. representing Father
Nugent, appeared before Judge Slack at
the hearing set for yesterday afternoon
and declared that the priest preferred not
to resume the position of executor, from
which he had been temporarily suspended
by request of the contrasting heirs. The

and to permit Father Nugent to render an
accounting.

so that the attorneys could agree on nom

goes once or more each day to a certain
dealer for a cocktail or cigar has come to
expect a remembrance about Christmas
time, because he knows others who fre-
quent the same places are favored in that
manner, and he feels hurt if he is left out.
To so great an extent has the custom
grown that it has become an absolute
menace to some and source of discomfort
TO all. To remember all the customers
who expect it costs the saloon man or
cigar-dealer from $50 to $3.50 each year, &C
cording to the class and volume of his
trade; and heJruns the risk at all times of
losing customers through an unintentfonal
neglect to give each his present of bottle
of fine liquor or box of choice cigars.
1--WE would rather" said man yester-
day, who conducts retail liquor-house on
a busy business street, give stated sum
in coin outright for some charitable pur-
pose than to be bothered and worried by
this custom of giving presents to our GUS
toners. 1t would be far cheaper for us,
Just as satisfactory to the larger mass of
our customers and of vastly more benefit
to all.
'We cannot give present to every man
who comes into the house, for it would
bankrupt US, and it is hard to know where
to draw the line. A man who may think
he is entitled to present will leave his
money in some other house because he
thinks he has been sighted.
'Then it costs more than many are able
to stand as matters go now. 1t would be
no hardship for each dealer to put up $25,
and this would be cheap for even corner
grocers, who have to remember their Gus
TONERS as well as the regular liquor
dealers. If each one put up that amount
SIC, 900 to $40 600 could be raised, and that
sum would give each of the orphan asy-
lums-Protestant, Catholic and Hebrew
handsome present.
II know that the class of men who pat
ronize my place would be better pleased to
have the contributions go to that purpose.
Several dealers have spoken to me about
it, and a meeting will be called soon to per-
feet plans to this end.
sit is proposed to have neat placards
printed and tackled up on the wall, stating
that the house will make present to the
orphans instead of to customers. Some

undertake the trust will be made custodian

them to those who will be most benefited
thereby. We expect to make the fund

The salutation of the flag is a daily cere-
mony in the public schools of San Fran
cisco and is regarded by teachers and
routine of the day. Every school owns a

NEW SUNSET TRAINS.
Some Novel Features Adopted at the
Conference Of the Southern Pa
cific Officials.


The officials of the Atlantic system of
the Southern Pacific, who were here for a
few days, ended their conference with the
local officers yesterday and left last even
ing for home. They were accompanied by
General Superintendent Fillmore, who
will go as far as Los Angeles.
The result of this conference is a
change in the daily overland train on
the Southern route, an increase in the
'Sunset Limited" trains and general
improvement of the service.
The daily train leaving here via the
Southern Pacific for the East and South
east at 8 A. NJ. will leave at $50 P. M, and
pull out of Los Angeles at $3.50 P. NJ. OF the
following day. By this arrangement time
will be saved, and passengers will arrive
at Eastern points at more convenient hours
than formerly.
The understanding reached regarding
the "Sunset Limited" service is that two
trains shall leave each week from each
terminus. Tuesday and Saturday are the
days chosen for leaving San Francisco,
and the hour is 10 P. NJ. The train will ar
rive in Los Angeles at 2:40 P. N. next day,
leave at 10 P. NJ. and arrive at New Orleans
at 7:15 A. M. on the following Saturday and
Wednesday. Coming this way the trains
will leave New Orleans Monday and Thurs
day at 10 A. NJ. and arrive here at l:40 p M.
on Thursday and Sunday respectively.
The new service will begin from New
Orleans October 81 and from San Francisco

At the County Jail Durrant finds that
the DAYS devoid of the excitement of the
trial pass very slowly and his cramped
quarters seem even smaller than they really

To better vile away the hours and to
relieve the monotony of the blank walls
of his cell he has resorted to the brush,
and has begun on the interior of his prison
house an ambitious chef d'oeuvre in oils.
The Durrant family is accomplished in
many ways. The sister, now studying in
Germany is an artist of considerable local
repute and clever woodcarver, besides
being musician. Durrant has also much
skill with the brush and pencil, and the
sketch from which the painting is being
done is very creditable. 1t represents a

Ciprico was tried for this offense in 1883

NO VALLEJO EXCURSION
The Committee From the Young Mems
Institute Cannot Secure a Suit
able Boat.

The big excursion to Vallejo planned by
the board of presidents of the Young Mems
Institute of this City has been dropped,
for the committee in charge cannot secure
a suitable boat for the purpose.
1t was the intention of the local councils
to charter one of the big ferryboats and
take run to Vallejo during the coming
session of the Grand Council. The steamer
Newark had been fixed upon, but when
about week ago the United States In
spectors of Hulls and Boilers refused to
renew the license of the Ell Captain the
railroad company found itself short of
boats, and so the use of the Newark was
refused
Negotiations were then commenced with
the San Francisco and North Pacific Coast
Railroad for the Ukiah, but the officers OF
that road absolutely refused to allow the
Ukiah to go to Vallejo. The Tamalpais is
too slow, the committee thinks, the james
M. Donahue is not obtainable and the
river steamers are too small. This COM
pletes the list of boats available for such a
purpose, and as consequence there will
be no excursion to Vallejo during conven-
ton week, at least not by water.
