A CHILD ACTRESS.

Little DolIie Boswell VIII BE Sent
Back to Her Mother.
Chief Crowley on Thursday received a
dispatch from the Chief of Police of Asto-
ria to take possession of Dollie Boswell, a
little girl 10 years of age who would arrive
on the steamer State of California, as the
girls mother wanted her to return to her
home in Tacoma.
Policeman Callahan took the girl in
charge on the arrival of the steamer early
yesterday morning and took her to the
City Prison to await further instructions
from her mother.
Dollie is child actress and five months
ago her mother placed her IN charge of
Mrs. Ethel Jewett, an actress, who was a
personal friend of hers, as her stepfather
did not treat her well. Mrs. Jewett and
her husband took the girl to Astoria,
where she assisted in their performances,
and then they came on here to fill an en-
gagement in Sacramento. The little girl
does not like to be so far away from her
mother, and says she will be glad to get
home again.

time west of the Rocky Mountains. In
fact it came next to the most successful
in this line that has occurred III the
world.
Two large kites were given to the fresh
breeze blowing over the Mills building
about half-past O'Clock in the afternoon.
One was the immense s4-inch cellular
kite, the invention of Mr.. Harmon, and
the other was 81 inches from top to bot
tom. The kites were held by piano wire
let off from large reel.
The wind was blowing about twelve
miles an hour, coming from the southwest.
The kites rose steadily and without acci-
dent until the smaller kite reached an
elevation of 400 feet above the roof of
the Mills building, or 1875 feet above sea
level. The length OF wire unreeied was
$685. feet.
At this height the kites made an angle
with the surface of the earth of 33L de-
grees. In bringing the kites back an
angle of so degrees was obtained.
The huge fliers looked like small white
specks against the sky. At times big
patches of white clouds between 5000 and
1000 feet above the City passed between
the kites and the observers on the roof of
the building. When $500 feet of wire had
been let out the kites began moving to the
north, showing that the wind at that ele-
vation came directly from the south.
Coming down they twisted around TO the
northeast again, as they became influenced
by the lower currents.
The electrical current generated on the
wire was sufficient to give sharp shock
without condenser. With a condenser
an amount of force was generated sufi-
cient to knock q man down, and large
spark was produced.
The kites scared out 1t seemed clear over
Goat Island.
Professor Davidson was one of the party
and he was enthusiastic over the results
obtained. This BEATS" said he, sany-
thing this side of the Rockies, and is
nearly as good as has ever been done.''
I'VE have been wonderfully successful -
said Mr.. Harmon. "lf we had had in

was the invention of Hargrave of
Australia. He designed it while working
out flying machine idea.
"Hargrave's cells were rectangular.
Potter of the Weather Bureau in Wash
ington, D. c., changed them to diamond
shape. These kites are almost the same,
with the exception of an invention of my
own, whereby the kites become collaps-
ible and therefore vastly more convenient
to handle. 1t only takes five minutes to
unfold my kite or to fix it up.
I'VE have been flying kites since last
February, but with varying success. The
surface winds are generally too shallow.
To-day there were moderate storm con-
ditions. The atmosphere was in an un-
settled condition, and there was this same
moderate wind to very high altitude.
This has been great triumph. With in
struments it would have been fraught with
valuable results

charge of the weather department over all
OF Australia, with headquarters at Bris-
bane, paid the Weather Bureau here a
visit yesterday, and expressed great won
derment at the extreme rapidity with
which forecast was published from the
time the observation was taken.

Inspectors Dockery and Davis Are
Visiting the Dairy Ranches
Daily.

Milk Inspector Dockery and Market
Inspector Davis of the Board of Health
spent yesterday in visiting number oi
milk ranches at Bay View and along the
San Bruno road, with view to ascertain
ing their condition as to sanitation and
cleanliness.
Seven ranches were inspected and in
nearly all orders for changes, increased
ventilation and other improvements were
issued. "Clean up was the general order
and in all cases the dairymen promised to
do so at once.
In future all ranchers will be asked how
long it will take to place their dairies in a
sanitary condition, and will be given from
ten to twenty days to make such improve
ments as are directed. In case they fail to
comply with the orders they will lay them
selves liable to revocation of their milk
permits, as Inspector Dockery will rec
ommend such course.
Mr.. Dockery will, during the progress of
his investigations. which are to be carried
on now from day TO day, collect data to
hack up certain recommendations to the
board which he Is now preparing. These
are intended TO improve the general con-
dition of the ranches and force sanitary
ARRANGEMENTS on all.
Another important object that is being
served by his visits to the ranches is the
detection ofsuspected cases Of tuberculosis,
pending tests with the Government tuber-
culm.
The herds of every ranch visited will be
Inspected, and all cows giving evidence OF
the disease will be singled out and the
owners warned not to sell them until the
regular test has been made. Some dis
tihguishing mark will be put on them and
a record kept of the matter, so that when
the testing visit is made the inspector can
be sure that they are all there.

CASE IN THE COURTS.
Attorney Wheeler's Latest Demur-

Attorney Wheeler's Latest Demur-
rer Overruled by Judge Slack.
The latest of Charles S. Wheeler's de-
murrers in the FAIR case was overruled by
Judge Slack yesterday after an interesting
little dialogue between Mr. Wheeler and
Van r. Paterson and the court.
Mr.. Wheeler objected TO Mr.. Paterson's
fourth amended opposition on the ground
that it was uncertain in that it opposed
the will of September "a on the ground
that it was forgery and again on the
ground that the earlier will had been sus-
tanned by republication. He remarked
that they were all very desirous of expedit-
Ing the litigation.
Judge Slack in some astonishment re-
marked that it would be as well not to
speak of expedition in regard to this case,
at which all the lawyers, including Mr..
Wheeler. smiled broadly.
The court inquired of Mr.. Paterson II
his position was not little inconsistent.
mot at all, " said Judge Paterson. "All
through our opposition the ground taken
is that the later will is forgery and l am
amazed that the point should be raised
by counsel. The statement as to the re-
publication is simply one OF fact to sup
port the other. In case any other wills
should be found bearing date between the

most material.
ut seems remarkable to me, continued
Mr.. Paterson, that such stI Ienuous efforts
should be made to deprive these babes
whom represent and who have no money
or standing in court, especially in view of
the fact that Charles L. Fair, the only
other contestant, takes more under the
pencil will than he does under the earlier
! WILL" He desired to be informed as to the
reason. He suggested that Fair could not
| be serious in his contest, and was only de-
sirous of getting the children out of the
way.
] Wheeler did not vouchsafe an explara-
! ton, but said that if the allegation of re-
publication was not an issue it should be
! stricken out.
Paterson objected. 81 wish to be can
did with the court" he said. 'I may
wish to make claim to that ground later"
The court decided to overrule the de-
murrer. Mr.. Wheeler then entered into
an argument to strike out the reference to
the repu blication. He attempted to show
that mere statement of the legatee did
not amount to epubIication-that it was
necessary that some additional provision
of the will be made in order to bring ii
within that category.
Judge Paterson will reply next Monday.

HASKELL NOT DIsBARRED.
He May Be, However. If He Does not Pay
Certain Note.

He May Be, However, If He Does not Pay
Certain Note.
Judge Slack yesterday dismissed the dis
barment proceedings pending against
B. G. Haskell. In dismissing the matter,
his Honor remarked that the reason for
dism issaI was that the evidence produced
did not substantiate the complaint.
Haskell is the attorney who gained a
damage suit from the railroad company
in behalf of Charles Young. Young
claimed that Haskell appropriated the
money. 1t was developed during the dis
barment proceedings that the attorney
had given his client some sort of note in
lieu of the money, and he therefore could
not be convicted of EN- bezzing it.
Judge Slack. in delivering his decision
as to the matter, advised Young to bring
civil proceedings against Haskell to re-
cover the money due on the note, and
added that it it was brought to his atten-
ton that HASKELL sought to evade pay
ment of the note, he would then be pre-
pared to listen to proceedings for disbar-
ment.
