BLYTHE CASE AGAIN.
Florence HinckIey's Lawyers Want 1t
Barred From the United States
Circuit Court.

Some time ago John w. Blythe and
Henry 7. Blythe, claimants OF the estate
of the late Thomas II. Blythe, began an
action in the United States Circuit Court
against Florence Blythe Hinckley and
Frederick w. Hinckley to quiet title 10
the property held by the latter Oh jCdg-
ment of the Superior Court, confirmed by
the Supreme Court OF California. These
claimants, like all of the others in the
notable contest for the dead millionaire's
estate, had their day in court when the
case was in the State courts.
Their effort to throw the case into the
Federal court was based upon their claim
that they were not residents of the United
States and therefore the final judgment
upon the ownership of the property could
be made only by Federal judge. Their
action on the lines mentioned, to quiet
title, completely ignored the Blythe
Hinckley people and treated of them az
though they were usurpers OF the rights
and belongings of the plalntiffs-John W.
and Henry T. Blythe.
THIS suit threatened to bring up the en-
tire case before the courts again. The idea

MRS. DANIELS DIVORCE.
Tells How Champagne Bill Broke Up
Her Home.


OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. 4-Mrs @. G.
Daniel, formerly of 5ss Thirty-third street,
was granted divorce by Judge Seawell of
San Francisco yesterday from @. G.
Daniel on statutory grounds.
Mrs Daniel stated yesterday that she
had long hesitated, but the time had come
to speak out. She says she moved over to
Oakland in Novemb Der. 1895, and was
troubled by woman who returned her
kindness by treacherously practicing her
wlles on her husband. Mr.. Daniel denied
any guilt. From February until June
Mrs. Daniel says, there were champagne
hotels till a champagne bill came to the
house, and then the husband admitted his
fault.
Mrs. Daniel charges this woman With
inducing Mr.. Daniel to leave his wife, he
alleging that he was going back 10 Scot
land. The real plan, she says. was for
the two to elope together A ticker as far
as Los Angeles was bought, and from the
cars Mr.. Daniel waved "Good-by, sweet
heart" to his wife, left on the platform.
Mr.. Daniel only went to Port Costa,
according to his former wife. He came
back to this city, met his love, went to
swell restaurant and thence to Vichy
Springs. The pair parted after two weeks
and Mr.. Daniel wired to his wife from Los
Angeles, and she went there, but failed to
induce him TO return. He finally came to
Oakland, but refused to confess for some
time.
Then the champagne bill came in and
the truth came out. Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel
separated about the middle of July, but It
a subsequent meeting the husband made a
full confession, placing the whole blame
upon his companion.
Mrs. Daniel wishes to deny that she has
ever attempted to evade certain debts CT
that she condoned her husbands faults
after proof was obtained. She says that
she will endeavor to make her livelihood
and liquidate all her obligations.

THE COLLEGE At Tackled,
Los Angeles Citizens Unite to
Condemn a State Forestry
Station.
Professor E. w. Higard of Berkeley
Says All Privileges Are Granted
tc San a Monicans

BERKELEY, CAL, Dec. 1.-THE pro-
fessors of the agricultural department of
the university have rallied to the defense
of their college against the repeated at
tacks of Los Angeles citizens, which are
believed to be the result of the personal
influence of Abbott Kinney, who has
made many assaults in the southern
press.
Resolutions denouncing the regulations
adopted for the care of the forestry sta
ton at Santa Monica have been passed by
the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
Academy OF Sciences and Town Council
1t is declared by these organizations that
the rules in question are over bearing and
exclude the public from proper use and
enjoyment of the grounds.
Professor Hilgard, head of the agricul-
tural department. has received from
Europe copies of the regulations in force
in botanical gardens there, by which it is
claimed the rules denounced by Los An
geles citizens are shown 10 be much less
strict than is in Europe deemed necessary
for the protection of the botanical speci-
mems.
The rules that aroused ire in Los An
geles prohibit the gathering of specimen
flowers, fruits, vegetables, seeds, ETC., by
such specimens. by those who desire
them, through the foreman in charge.
"The general public is cordially welcome
at every station and the foreman is re-
quired TO be polite to all visitors" says
the notice of the regents
'No person shall touch the plants or
flowers" is the first rule of the Royal
Bo anical Gardens at Edinburgh, copies OF
which Professor Hilgard has secured for
the defense of his department.
The rules for the securing of specimens
require that written application to the
keeper be made at least 'two clear days
before the date upon which the specimens
are required"
THE strictness at this station goes even
further than this, said Professor Hilgard
1.-The applications must be made upon
certain printed forms, and those who re-
ceiye specimens are required to leave the
gardens with them Immediately and by q
certain specified gate. As the rules say
they are not allowed to walk about the
gardens carrying the specimens
tThere are no such rules as these in
connection with our stations, and no rules
at all but such as are necessary to protect
our gardens from promiscuous flower and
specimen gathering"
