BIG ESTATE, NO RENTS.
The Daughter of the Late DR..
Toland Sues Her
Agents.
Estate Said to Have Been Grossly
Mismanaged-Property Covered
With Mortgages.

Mrs. Mary i. SINE, through her attor-
ney, Albert G. Aiken, brought suit in the
Superior Court yesterday against her
agents, Ashton & Gardner, to secure an ac-
counting of the business transacted for her,
and in the meantime al Injunction is
asked for restraining them from making
sny contracts In her name.
Ashton & Gardner nave a power of at
torney from Mrs. Sine and refuse to give
it up, claiming that she is indebted to
them. They have had charge of her busi-
ness interests for the past SIX years and
she claims that they have grossly mis-
managed them.
Mrs. Sine is one of three children of the
late DR.. H. H. ToIand of the Toland Med :
icaI College. He left an estate valued at
$500, 900, in which Mrs. Slime has a one
third life int crest.
The property consists OF large ranch in
Solano County and property in this City
on Pine street, near Kearny, on Everett
and Third and on Jackson street
Ashton & Gardner have reported to
Mrs. Sine constantly depreciating
value and decreasing revenue, she SAYS.
They have recently threatened to cut off
the income entirely, and have covered the
property with mortgages bearing high
rates of interest. Gardner himself holds
one mortgage at per cent compounding
monthly.
1t is also charged that large sums OF
money have been put to uses not author
lied by Mrs. Sine; that the firm refuses to
yield up their management of the estate
although they have frequently asked Mrs
Slime to transfer it to some one else; that
they are employing every means to incon-
venience the firm that Mrs. Slime has en-
ployed, having recently served notices on
the tenants not to pay oyer any rents 10
them. All these allegations are made in
the com plant as filed.
Mrs. Sine is confined to her bed by ill.,
ness at her home in Connecticut, and is
reported to be very much worried over the
trend of her affairs here.

! Mayor Sutro and James D. Phelan have
been invited TO address the meeting, and
it is very likely that they will.
The following is q copy of letter that
will be sent to-day to large number of
citizens and business men:
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 8, 1896.
To the Pttblic-Spirited Citizens of San Fran
cisco: The executive committee of the Carnival
OF the Golden Gate desires your cooperation
in furthering the interests of the week of fes-
tivities to be held in this City during the early
part OF October.
Careful consideration has been given to the
project by those who are instrumen tai in pro-
noting II. They are men representing the in
dustrial. financial and commercial interests of
San Francisco, and realize the advantages that
Will accrue from the presence of several hun
dred thousand strangers in our midst during
the week selected.
The Merchants Association, the Board of
Trade and the Chamber of Commerce desire to
assist the executive committee in making the
carnival a grand success. In order that the
public may become acquainted with the fee-
lures that will make this week most memor-
able one in the history of San Francisco, they
ask you to meet with them in the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce, in the Merchants Ex-
change building, tomorrow Thursday after
noon, July 9, 1896, at 2 80 P. NJ.
The financial results attending the carnivals
held in the interior of the State, not TO speak
OF the Mardi Gras OF New Orleans, the Yelled
Prophet demonstration in st. Louis, shows
that an affair of this kind means large finan-
cial returns to every line of business. II is a
matter in which the whole State is interested,
and once inaugurated will become an annual
feature.
Not less than $50 900 will be expended in
presenting the affair to the public. This
amount viii give employ ment 10 a large num-
Der of artisans. and be spent among our own
tradespeople. If we attract for one week an
attendance or even 100000 persons 1t means
an increase in our revenues of not less than
50 500, 900. Can we afford to let such an op-
portunity pass by
In the name OF the business interests OF this
City, we invite you and your friends to meet
us ON Thursday afternoon. This is a matter of
paramount importance, as the success of the
affair largely depends upon the hearty assist
ance of every one.
On behalf of the executive committee we re-
main, for the good OF San Francisco,
r. II. WAKEFIELD,
President Executive Committee
SAMUEL w. BAcKUs, Secretary.
On Thursday, the 18th, there will be
sale of seats in the Coium bia Theater for
the performance to be given on the even

ness at length, mainly with the object OF
showing that he had introduced her as his
wife at the Fabiola Hospital and had been
always solicitous about her health. He
introduced letters from her to him and
vice versa showing that they were couched
in endearing terms, but the witness said
she had to write that way as she was afraid
OF her life to write otherwise.
During the cross-examination Colonel
Eddy remarked that more serious crime
should have been charged against the de-
fendant, but the doctor was equal to the
occasion and said it happened three and a
half years ago and was barred by the
statute of limitations.
Mrs. Z. 4. Basford, 1922 Mission street,
where the complaining witness and her
babies are living, testified to the defendant
making threats of spilling blood a few
days ago. She and the defendant had
several lively passages-at-arms, but she
always came out ahead.
The defendant denied threatening to
kill "his wife," as he persisted in calling
the complaining witness; spoke of his
love for her and their children, and said
she had been made to testify against him
by his enemies.
Colonel Eddy made a scathing attack
on the defendant, and urged that his
bonds should not be less than $4,000, TO
compel him to keep the peace.
The Judge ordered the defendant into
custody, and said he would render his de-
cision tomorrow morning.

ALASkA'S HUMAN BIRDS.
A Strange Race Who Chatter and
Chirrup.

People who talk like birds, who
whistle and chirrup in their speech,
with notes varying from those Of the
wren to the harsh cultural of the cock
atoo-a tribe of such people has actu-
ally been discovered by DR.. Franz
Boaz
He was the first white man to locate
these chirruping savages, which he did
near the boundary between Alaska and
British Columbia, though many trav-
elers have heard them spoken of by
other Indians. Once a tribe of some
Importance, only about twelve indi-
viduals now survive, and they are per-,
petual fugltives-hunted like wild
beasts, in fact, and possessing no per-
manent homes.
1t has long been a practice, among
the coast Indians of Alaska, when a
chief died, to go and kill few of the
Tsutsowt-as the people who talk like
birds are called-the object being that
the chief might have servants to wait
on him while on his way to the aborig
inal Paradise. In the course of time
the pursuit of this good old custim
greatly reduced the number of the
Tsutsowt, and the latter during the
last fifty years, being too few to fight,
have been kept continually on the
jump. The last of them would have
been killed some time ago but for the
fact that they have retreated to the
highest mountains, where they live
chiefly by hunting marmots. These lit
tie animals dwell among the rocks, and
may often be seen sitting erect at the
mouths of their holes, whistling shril-
ly. The Tsutsowt capture them by
means of ''dead-falr traps set at the
hole mouth.
DIR. Boaz had much trouble in find
ing these people owing to their mode
of life. At length he came upon a
Tsutsowt boy, and, obtaining his con-
fidence, was introduced to other men,
bers of the tribe. The bird-like Ian
guage of which he had heard so much
appeared to owe its popularity to an
extraordinary richness in sibilant and
cultural sounds. When spoken it had
actually a remarkable likeness to the
chirruping of birds.
The Tsutsowt tribe formerly con-
sisted of two clans, and among them
the common aboriginal law against
marriage within the clan was rigidly
enforced. That is to say, no maiden
could take a husband from her own
clan, or vice versa. But now one of
the clans has been wholly wiped out,
not single member surviving, and on
this account the men have taken wives
within the last few years from the
Mass River Indians of Northern Brit
ish Columbia. Once year they come
down from the mountains and spend
a fortnight with the Mass River people,
in order to see their wives folks. 1t
Is an odd fact that the Tsutswot are
hunters exclusively, whereas all other
tribes in their region are fishermen.
