One Of the men is Harry Nishmoto. the
keeper of the boarding house, and the
other is his cousin, Kitaro Nishmoto.
Both are in the Receiving Hospital in a

Harry kept him in his hotel, but as he
refused to work and was constantly bor-
rowing money from Harry and spending
it foolishiy Harry at the instigation of
his wife, got him TO leave the house and
paid board and lodging for him at house
on Washington street kept by a Japanese
named Kitchi.
Kitaro continued to make demands for
money upon his cousin and finally Harry
refused to make further contributions.
Yesterday morning about o'clock Kitaro,
while under the influence of liquor, called
at his cousins place. He had been
making threats to Kitchi that he would
kill his cousin and Kitchi was warning
Harry when Kitaro entered. Ktchi
grabbed him and took a knife out of his
pocket.
Kitaro went to his room in Kitchi' 8
house and, arming himself with Japan
ese sword, returned to his Cousins house.
Harrv's wife was with him when Kitaro
entered. The cousins had some angry
words and Kitaro drew the sword from its
scabbard and made a lunge at Harry, the
point entering his chest. Quick as light.

HATS OFF WAS The ORDER
Pleasing Feature of the Women's
Suffrage Benefit Mat
inee.
A Corps of Young Lady Ushers
Attended to the Comfort of
the Audience.

4 grand matinee performance was given
by the artists of the local theaters yester-
day in he Tivoli Opera-house foI the
benefit of the Woman's Suffrage Associa-
ton. The affair was success in every
respect, the attendance being large and
fashionable. AS might be expected the
majority were women. As the people en-
tered they were escorted to their seats by
a corps of pretty young women.
Just before the performance was begun
George E. Lask, the stage manger, stepped
to the front and requested that the ladies
in the audience remove their head cover
ing. The order of that's off" caused a
little surprise, but nearly all complied
with the request laughingly, and the men
applauded.
The musical part of the programme was
very pleasing and the volunteers did their
best. The conclusion, a pretty little ro-
nance entitled Sweetheart" was well
received. In a financial way the benefit
was also a success, the Woman Suffrage
Association clearing something over $500.

LAND INVESTMENT
BROKE THE BANK
California Savings Society
Said TO Be Insol-
vent.
Decreased Value of Mortgage
Securities the Cause of
the Fall.
LAWYER VAN WYCKs ADVICE.
Recommends That the Management of
the Institution Be Changed
at Once.
LAWYER VAN wYcK's ADVICE.

The soivency of the California Savings
and Loan Society was yesterday ques-
toned by Attorney Sidney NJ. Van Wyck
mitted to continue the conduct of its busi-
ness on the present lines.
Mr.. Van Wyck was recently appointed
appraiser Of the collateral inheritance tax
due on the estate of David Hunter, and in
presenting his report to Judge Coffey re-
ferred to the finances Of the bank, much
of the personal property of the estate be-
ing money on deposit with that institu-
ton.
he California Savings and Loan Society
was incorporated in 1878 and carried on an
ordinary banking business until Septem.
Der Is, 1894. Most of the money of the
institution was invested in loans, secured
by mortgages on lands in the lower San
Joaquin Valley. In one instance 500 an
acre was advanced and in a number OF
other cases $50a acre was loaned. Twenty
an acre was about the smallest loan made.
In 1892 and 1893 land values deprecated
greatly and in 1894 the bank found it diff
cult to obtain even the interest on its
money. Borrowers were unable to float
their mortgages elsewhere and the bank
was forced to suspend.
The directors decided to set aside all
applications for Withdrawals, and devoted
all the money on hand to the payment of
taxes on lands foreclosed on and to pro
rata payments to depositors. So far 13
per cent has been repaid.
Mr.. Van Wyck says that he finds that
about $1o0, coo worth of deposit books have
been sold to money-brokers, for which
books from go cents down to 46 cents on
the dollar have been realized. The latter
figure is now the best that can be obtained,
and at that there is no demand for the
books.
The report further says that there is
now due the depositors $780,, ,586 n. To
Offset this the bank holds real estate of the
value of 1858, ,154 and unsettled accounts of
the book value of $400, ,301 3d. Of these
accounts the appraiser says: "In view OF
the large amount of real estate held by the
bank, of the large amount it is now
taking, of it's high cost, OF the dullness of
the realestate market and of the long
time before cash can be realized for the
land held appraise the accounts owned
at 46 per cent of the face value"
In conclusion Mr.. Van Wyck says: Il
am of the opinion that the society should
not be permitted to continue to conduct
its business as at present, in view of the
fact that it's assets at their real present
cash values are not, so far as have been
able to ascertain, equal to the amount due
depositors."

Annual Theater Party of the Asso-

The annual theater party of the Califor-
mia Associated Cycling Clubs held at the
Tivoli Wednesday evening was big sue

they thoroughly enjoyed the show and
the many SIDE jokes that Ferris Hartman
cracked at their expense. The prizes won
by the riders in the recent ten-mile road

NAT GOODW|A'S SHOW
Miss Unser Says There Was
ALI Kinds of It in
Australia.
But Mr.. McLennan Says Everybody
Was Used Kindly-Nobody
Forced Out.

Miss Dorothy B. Unser of the Nat Good
win company. whic h has been playing at
the Antipodes for some time, arrived here
yesterday on the Monowai. She says Nat
Goodwin has quarreled with everybody
nearly in his company, and that they
have all had q bitter time with him.
She says she was forced out of the COM
pany and her part given TO Gertrude Ell
Iiot Maxine's sister. She also says that
Goodwin's tour was by no means sue
cess. The lady's criticisms are very in
cisive.
"Even the men in the company" she
said, "shake in their boots when Goodwin
is around. He has them all scared to
death. Because L received some social at
tention he abused me from day to day."
On the same ship with Miss Unser was
]. B. McLennsn, who had Goodwin and
the other people of the comb bination under
contract, and G. Appleton, the business
manager. Mr.. McLennan denied last
night that Miss Unser's comments were
well founded.
81 notice she says we played In Miz-
zouri,' but what we did play was The
Gilded Fool, said Mr.. McLennan. "The
young lady has everything mixed up. We
intended playing The Prisoner of Zenda,
but when we got over there we found the
Australians were taking only light frothy
things this season, and we decided not TO
put it on there.
"As for our having light houses every
body here knows how Nat Goodwin draws.
and about our losing money, we didn't
lose any, and couldn't, because we went
over under contract TO Australian man.
ayers. So how could we lose any?. She
also implies that myself and Mr.. Apple
ton were virtually discharged.
How absurd that is will be seen when
l am myself the contractor for Mr.. Good
wins services. Not only that, put he has
year yet to serve with me. That year
will be put in in the United States, for Mr..
Goodwin will soon arrive. As for Miss
Elliott crowding Miss Unser out, that is
incorrect. Miss Elliott was engaged
from the first to play as leading lady and
Miss Unser was used only for little
time to fill in. Miss Elliott is really a very
talented actress. In regard to Blanche
Walsh, who has been hitherto alluded to
as also forced out of the company, that
is not the fact. She was paid off in full,
as all the others of the company have
been, ana Miss Walsh personally ex-
pressed her thanks to me for the very
handsome way she had been treated

Strange Complications of the German
Savings Bank in the Collan
Estate.

Considerable interesting litigation prom
ises to arise at an early date over the es-
tate of Philip Collan. who died at Fresno
in 1885 and whose Irish heirs have re-
tanned Attorney Oscar T. Shuck to protect
their interests here.
When Collan died he left many thou
sands in the German Savings Bank here
and $1050 in the Odd Fellows Savings
Bank. 1t was not known until recently
that Colan had left any heirs, ior he lived
quiet life and seldom spoke OF relatives.
1.-THE bankbooks snow," said Mr.. Shuck
yesterday, "that he lived at Benton, Mono
County, when he opened the accounts in
the banks. Shortly after he died Patrick
Crosby asked for letters on his estate,
alleging that Collan had given him his
bankbooks. The Fresno court gave letters
to Crosby and declared him the owner OF
the bankbooks and then made an order
that there was no estate. On the strength
of that order Crosby got the money, about
$5000 from the German Savings Bank
and presented the order to the Odd Fell
lows Bank, but Secretary Benson referred
him to Attorney Tilden, and the order
was not recognized"
Now that the heirs of Collan have been
discovered Attorney Sbuck will sue the
German Savings Bank for the amount,
now about $4,000, on the same grounds of
the ODD Fellows Bank reJecnon. Ihey
claim that if Philip Collan owned the
account at bis death and left will it must
be admitted to probate and the estate
properly settled and distributed, and that
if he did not leave will his estate must
be regularly administered on and prop
ery distributed. If Collan did not own
the account when he died his heirs will
demand proof of Crosby's ownership and
the entire case will be reopened. The po-
sition will be taken that the order of court
in the premises was wholly void.

WANTS ONE FARE.
Otto Tum Suden Says That Transfers
Should Be Issued From Market
Street to Kearny- Street Cars.


Street to Kearny-street Cars.
Otto tum Suden, an attorney, petitioned
the Board of Supervisors yesterday to
compel the Market-street Railroad Com
pany to carry passengers on its Market
and Kearny street lines for one fare or de-
clare the franchise under which the latter
is operated void.
The petitioner recites that in 1879 the
then Board of Supervisors granted fran
chise for road from the ferries and along
California street, thence to Market, and
along that thoroughfare to Eighth street;
that the franchise was later assigned to
the Market-street Railroad combine, and
that the Kearny-street line is operated un-
der the original franchise, which calls for
a single fare along the entire route.
Mr.. tum Suden also calls attention to
the fact that some of the rails of the orig
inaI road are still cum bering the street.
He states that it is clearly the duty of the
board to force the combine to charge one
fare for the two lines.
The matter was referred to the City and
County Attorney.

Supervisor Benjamin has received a

effort in procuring for them the comforts

The unfortunates also asked Mr.. Ben
iamin whether it would not be possible to
prevent their remova, from their present
quarters to the City and County Hospital,
measure that has been ordered by the
Board of Health. While they assign no
reason for their request, it IS though. that
they are as anxious to be isolated from
their fellow human beings as the latter are
