THE CONTINENTAL LEAGUE.

The Republican Club Adopts Con-
stitution for Its Government.
The Republican Continental League,
lately organized at 1017 Larkin street, held
lis regular weekly meeting last night.
Frank D. Worth, president, called the
meeting to order. Secretary Maurice
Asher reported that $50 Republicans had
signed their names to the membership
list and pledged their honor to support
the nominees of the party, both National,
State and municipal.
Will E. Fisher, chairman of the commit
tee on a constitution for the government
of the league, reported the work of his
committee, which was adopted.
Treasurer w. T. Kibbler reported that
the league was in healthy financial con-
dition and that no fears need be enter
tanned of their being sufficient funds to
keep the league in good working order
during the campaign.
President Worth stated that the ques-
ton OF uniforms, transparencies and BAN
ners had not yet been considered, but that
he would in the near future appoint COM
mittee to look into that matter.
1t is not the intention of the Repubiican n
Continental League to take sides wit b
irres sponsible self-made bosses, but to stand
solidly together for the success of the Re-
publican nominees, irrespective of the
personnel of the man or men who may be
intrusted with the local leadership.

THE CONFERENCE.
The Parrott Job Could Not Be Set
tied and 1t Was Decided to
Strike.


The grievance committee of the Building
Trades Council and Business Agents R. T.
McIvor and II. M. Saunders went to the
Parrott building at o'clock yesterday for
the purpose of settling the difficulties if
possible. 1t transpired that it was impos-
sible, and but one course was left for the
representatives of the council to pursue
strike the entire job.
The first one in authority was the super
intendent of the building, to whom the
committee made known its grievances.
Its demands were summed up in few
words. The council wants the Parrott
building to be union job. N. P. Kuss,
the painter, has gang of non-union
painters at work in the same line with J.
st. Denis d Co.'S union painters. An
other, Charles j. Bruschke, manager of
the San Francisco Furniture Manufactrr-
ing Company, has gang of tinishers TAX

At this point, A. Feist. manager of the
Emporium stores, joined the group with
Mr.. Kern, contracting carpenter, who
has a lot of union men employed in the
building. Mr.. Feist declared his position
at once as favorable to the union and
union demands, but like the superinten-
dent, he saw no way of inducing the con-
tractors to change their policy. "I'll see
what can do with Bruschke." remarked

The Building Trades Council held a

they had called out all the union men on
the Parrot building, and their action was
heartily endorsed. j. Mccartney, of the

A report was made that the Plumbers

word that they would stand by the strike
in the Parrot building and walk out with

c. F. G|BSON'S PROPERTY.
His Brother Carried It Away
From the Sorrowing
Widow.
The Higher Tribunals Will Be Called
Upon to Settle a Nice Point
at Law.

The question as to whether dying man
can disregard his wfe's community inter-
est in his estate and give it all away to
relatives is nice point of law which will
be discu ssed shortly in the highest courts.
The particular case at issue, which will
cause wise Judges to ponder, arises from
another, which was handled yesterday by
Police Court Judge Low.
J. A. Gibson was the defendant. He
was accused of taking 500, 500 in money,
bonds and other valuables from the pos
session of Mrs Charles Frederick Gibson,
his sister-in-law. the complaining witness.
Judge Low dismissed the case, owing to
the fact that the defendant showed he was
guiltless of any criminal intent, but the
proceedings, as far as they went. developed
points that are of great interest.
L seems that on March 81 Charles F.
Gi bson died in this City. He was we'll
known sporting man. whose custom it was
to keep plenty of money where he could
Law his hand upon it at a moments notice.
When he was lying at deaths door his
wife was sum moned from Sacramento,
where she made her residence, and when
she came here she found she had been pre-
ceded by her husbands mother and
brother. The latter was not very con-
genial person in the opinion of the
it ever came that he, of all others, was by
the side of the sick mans bed. She learned
the reason later on.
The day after the wife's arrival here
so, 800 in currency and coin disappeared
from G. f. Gibson's rooms, the brother
having taken it to Sacramento without
making the widow or the other friends of
ha m n acnnointpd wi h tho
After Gibson'S death, the widow caused
the arrest of his brother, who yesterday
produced a receipt signed by Mrs. Emma
York, the mother OF the deceased, TO the
effect that he had turned the money over
to her. Hence the dismissal of the crlmi-
nal charge against Gibson.
Attorney j. E. Richards, who, with
Delmas e. Shortridge, has the interests of
Mrs. Gibson in hand, was enabled while
the defendant was on the stand to learn
many interesting points which will go
down to making legal history.
Gibson told how the money was handed
over to him for safe keeping by Mrs. York,
the dying mans mother, to whom he SUBJ
sequently returned it.
Mrs. York, not being in court, could not
either corroborate or refute the testimony.
Her son, however, went on to say that
when his brother was dying he turned to
his mother and verbally presented her
with what was practically his entire
estate-$22, 500. There were no witnesses
to the presentation, according to J. A.
Gibson's testimony, but he felt satisfied
that the presentation was made.
Mrs. Gibson has, through her attorneys,
secured special letters of administration
on her husbands estate and has filed
bonds IN the sum of $40, 900.
Judge Coffey has issued citations for J.
A. Gibson and Mrs Emma York requiring
them to be in court next Tuesday morn
ing to answer questions pertinent to the
case at issue.
