ernment officials whose business it is to
watch the lamp in the lighthouse and at
tend the fog signal.
Heretofore the children have received
such instruction as was given them by
their parents, the United States Govern
ment not making any provision for the
establishment of public schools within
State boundaries, and as consequences
the San Francisco Board OF Education had
to send such school supplies as The fami-
lies on the island needed.
There are three families on the island
and ten children of school age. This en-
titles the islanders to a school. and as the
time had come when the school had to go
to the children or the children come to
the mainland for school the Board OF
Education provided one for the lonely
rock in the Pacific
The next question that puzzled the
mem bers of the board was to find a teacher
who would be willing to live out on the
wind-swept rock, and finally they chose
one of the handsomest young lady gradu-
ates from the Normal School and ordered
her off into exile.
Miss Daisy Annetta Doud, the exile, has
not seen her twentieth birthday yet. She
is native of San Francisco and an only
child. She is niece of Mrs. Nettie Wood,
principal of the Hearst Grammar School.
When asked by CALL representative
yesterday how she thought she would like

CHINESE FEMALES.
An Alarmingly Large Number of This
Glass Have Arrived
RecantIy

There is something very significant in
the recent importation in large numbers
of Chinese women to this port. On the
10th inst. the steamer China arrived with
thirteen young painted females on board.
On the City of Pueblo, that arrived Mon
day, twenty-one more arrived, making
thirty-four within about two weeks. Dur
ing the preceding two months only seven
arrived. As fact, it was we'll known in
certain circles that this influx of Chinese
women might be expected. Of course the
laws of the land prohibit unrestricted
Chinese immigration, but ell these unde-
slrable females claim the right to land on
the ground that they are the wives of
merchants in this City or that they are
native daughters.
As stated, it was we'll known that these
women were coming, and it was also we'll
known that they are not of the class that
they would pretend, upon arriving, to be.
There is nc disputing the fact that they
are slaves OF the most abject order and
nearly all being between l8 and % years
of age their commercial value is from
$1,000 to $500 each, or over $35.000 for the
lot.
There is a grave suspicion that these
women have been brought to the United
States in the hope that they could be

the position, but for some reason no one

From all appearancea Tr John Endieoft
Gardner is very iavorably discussed for

MRS. DONAHUI's WILL PROBATED

Baroness Won Schroeder Has a Year in
Which to File a Contest.
The will of the late Mrs. Annie Dona-
hue, widow of Peter Donahue, was ad-
mitted to probate by Judge Belcher,
sitting in Judge Slack's department of the
Superior Court. yesterday morning.
The court finds and so declares that the
will and codicils were signed and pub
lished in the presence of two com petent
witnesses. as required by law, and that
Mrs. Donahue, az the time OF making the
will and codicils, was of sound and dis
posing mind and not under restraint, un-
due influence, menace, frand, duress or
fraudulent Misrepresentation. or in any
respect incompetent to devise and be-
queath her estate.
Considerable talk has been caused since
Mrs. Donahue's death by the report that
Baroness Won Schroeder, stepdaughter OF
the testator, would contest the will on
account of the fact that she was prac-
tically ignored in the distribution of the
$5, 600, 600 estate.
The only things bequeathed to the
baroness are the family pictures and busts,
while the dollars go to relatives of the
decedent and to several worthy public
charitable institutions.
As no opposition to the probate of the
will was offered yesterday it appears that
Mrs. Won Schroeder has no pre- sent iuten-
tion to oppose the carrying of it's pro-
visions into effect. She has a year in
which to move to set aside the admission
of the will to probate if she should decide
to dc so.

Miss Fechheimer for the past few sea-
sons has been popular belle in the ex-
elusive circle in which she moved. En-
dowed with rare personal attraction and
mental attainments, she commanded un-
limited attention and admiration.
In spite of the fact that no invitations
were issued for the wedding the bridal
presents were extremely numerous and

Articles of Food and Wear
Donated.
The Regular Christmas Festival of
the Society Ended Yesterday
With Much Joy.

There was busy scene in California
Hall yesterday. The entrance was crowded
with poor women, many of them old and
feeble. Young girls poorly dressed. and
little children, rale-faced and pinched,
stood in the corridors waiting until the
door should be opened to them and the
distribution of New Year gifts should
begin.
On the other side of the door, pierceable
by the x ray of anxious poverty, COM
mittee of ladies of the German Ladies' Be-
nevolent Society were busy in doing up in
boxes and bundles the gifts of clothing,
groceries and other necessaries for the
poor women and children outside. This
work was done on four long tables which
were piled with clothing, toys, cans of
tomatoes and corn. smoked shoulders of
pork, bags of candies, apples. oranges and
lemons. sugar, tea and coffee, boots and
shoes, children's dresses, and lots of other
things, the mention of which would be as
long as the catalogue at San Francisco
art sale.
This society has done remarkable deal
of good in an unostentatious way. Its
charges are poor German-speaking people,
mostly women and children. Manv of
the women who are cared for are old and
decrepit and practically unable to care
for themselves. To them the ladies of
the society are as ministering angels.
The work of receiving donations and
purchasing supplies had been going on for
two or three days and the distribution be-
gan yesterday. Each applicant had card
containing her name and number and the
box or bundle intended for her was
marked with the mum ber all the appli-
cants being personally known to the soci-
ETY. and, in fact, being regularly the recip-
tents OF its bounty.
A short time ago the society gave Sc
ries of promenade concerts at the Pavili on,
the net proceeds of which amounted to
1920. This money will be expended in
the support of the INDECENT families in the
socieiy's charge. The individuals depend

Outcome of Litigation Concerning the

Outcome of Litigation Concerning the
Dupont Street Bonds.
The Supreme Court has decided that a
a writ of mandate shall issue to compel
City and County Treasurer Widber to pay
certain coupons on Dupont-street bonds
to Livingston ct al, who were the plain
tiffs in the Superior Court. The lower
CO urt ordered that writ should issue, but
an appeal was taken by Widber on the
ground that the moneys in his hands be-
longing to the Dupont-street fund had
been paid under protest, and that the par
ties paying them had instituted An action,
then pending in the Supreme Court, for
the recovery OF the moneys. He claimed
to be entitled to hold over, pending an
issue in that matter.
Since the appeal was taken the case of
Davis against Widber, which is the ono
referred to in Widber's answer, has been
decided by the Supreme Court. This ac-
tion. the Supreme Court decided yester-
day, has made the defense SGT up by Wild
ber unavailing, Hence the order of the
Superior Court was confirmed.

CARL NELSON'S PATENT.
Judge MeKenna VIII Decide the Aerial
Ballet Case To- Day.

Judge McKenna of the United States
Circuit Court spent many hours yesterday
listening 10 the arguments in the aerial
ballet case. Carl E. Nilsson brought an
action for damages and a permanent In
junction against the Al Hayman Com
pany and the Palmer Cox Brownie Com
pany for using in their aerial ballet de-
vice and machinery that he had patented.
His attorney made long argument on
Monday why a permanent injunction
should be granted and damages awarded.
The defendants attorneys had their
day and set up the claim that Nilsson
should have taken other proceedings anu
not attempted to stop the show by in
junction. He should have sued for dam
ages of an adequate amount. Nilsson's
attorney replied to this by saying that his
client has not granted license to any one
to use his invention, and so the damages
could not be estimated on that basis. He
would not concede that the defendants
have any right to use the invention, as
Nilsson wants the exclusive monopoly of
his patent. Judge McKenna will give a
decision this forenoon.
