AID FOR CHINESE SLAVES
A Conference of Pastors and Christian
Workers Was Held Thursday
Evening.

The pastors and Christian workers from
various churches throughout the city who
are interested in the Chinese slave ques-
ton held conference Thursday in the
Chinese Mission, at GIG Washington street,
10 discuss some means of obliterating the
evil. Mrs Lake discussed the question
with the visiting clergy, and many ques-
tions covering The matter were taken up.
The inability of the workers TO properly
place the matter before the courts was
the main subject of discussion. 1t was
shown that where slave girls over IA years
OF age admitted their willingness 10 leave
the mission The court maintained their
right to go. without taking into consd-
Grafton that the majorily of Chinese girls
VINO are removed from their owners are
intimidated to such an extent by the own
ers that the truth Is hard for them to tell,
and they return to life OF degradation
and misery.
These meetings will be held from time
10 time, with the end in view of having
the Legislature MAKE laws governing the
question which will aid the workers in
their cause.

ODORS LADE
THE BREEZE
Complaints That the Phelan
Building Harbors Divers
Smells.
But 1t Fails to Keep Them
Indoors With Absolute
Security.
Tenants Who Hold Their Noses While
They Protest, but the Scents
Refuse to Go.

There is to some sensitive natures some
thing repellant in the odor of onions
mingled as 1t is apt to be with sugges-
ton of beer and stronger suggestion of
cheese; 10 say nothing of cabbage, buck
wurst and endless variety OF edibes whose
presence may be detected from consid-
erabie distance.
These lew remarks naturally lead to
consideration of the corner of OFarrell
and Market streets where the odors OF
Araby wouldn't have ghost OF show.
Yellow journalism would chase them
from one point whence fleeing 10 another
they would be overcome by an upward
rush OF scents, a springing fountain OF
hints on cookery. The passing pedestrian
feels an impulse, not to follow his nose,
but 10 retreat from IT, holding his nose
undAr cover the while.
Ali this torrent of commingled SINE lis
comes from the basement OF the Phelan
building, the property of the Mayor. A
general complaint has lately been made
by business men having offices and stores
in the cinity of Market and OFarrell
streets that the effect they make bold to
call stencil arising from the sewerage
and underground cookery, bakery and
hashery thereabouts is nauseating.
The protest is almost unanimous, and
some of those who refuse to speak admit
that their reticence is owing TO the fact

Judge Cofey Denies Her
Petition for Distribu-
ton in Kind.
Heirs Entitled to Nearly $780,
900 VIII Soon Get Their
Shares.
Discretionary Powers That Were Linn
tied by the Financial Ability
Of the Stanford Estate.

Mrs. Jane L. Stanford. executrix of the
estate of the late Senator Leland Stan
ford, will be compelled TO pay cash 10 the
nepnews and nieces of the testator, instead
OF being allowed to distribute real estate
TO them, as was contem plated by her pc
tition recently filed III the Probate Court.
This matter was definitely settled in
Judge Coffey's court yesterday afternoon.
The opening argument was made by DR..
E. r. Taylor, who represented mum ber
of the Eastern heirs. The other attorneys
present were James y. Van Noast, Charles
Leydecker, T. c. Van Ness, Russell Wilson
and Mountford Wilson.
DR.. Taylor said the contest had arisen
over the attempt of Mrs. Stanford to settle
certain cash legacies by distributing to
benefciaries under the will certain landed
property, the value Of which had been de-
termined blythe executrix. and that no ac-
ceptance of the proposition had been sug
gested so far as the legatees were con-
The San Francisco call., 1897-09-25

cerned; nor in fact wes the court to be
consulted, except that it was assumed that
Mrs. Stanford was acting within her rights,
and that the confirmation OF the court
would follow as matter of course. The
persons named in the ninth clause OF the
will are Charles Stanford, Jennie Stanford
Byington, Norah Stanford Wells, Leland
Stanford Lathrop, Maude Stanford Kin
mouth and Winfield Scott Stanford. To
each of these the sum OF 100000 was be-
queathed, the will frequently speaking of
them as cash bequests.
There Is no personal element in this
matter, DR.. Taylor said it was merely a
difference of opinion in regard to busi-
ness proposition. All the leeatee5 had
charged him to say that they appreciate
the courage and ability with which Mrs.
Stanford has borne the burden that was
placed on her In the managem ent of this
estate, and that they rejoice in the knowl-
edge that the great university which bears
the name OF Stanford is amply provided
for and its future prosperity a'sured.
Attorney Van Ness supplemented DR..
TayIor's argument by giving some inior-
nation i'll regard TO the financial condition
of the estate. He said hat here are avail
able assets of over $4,000, 600 that may be
converted into cash at 4 moments notice
and he thought it was time the iegacles
were paid. Only 10 per cent had been paid
though they have been due for nearly TWO
years. He did not think it would be
equitable TO ask these legatees 10 accept
property that is nom productive and prac-
tlcally unstable at the present time in
lieu OF cash that is contemplated by the
terms OF the will.
Attorney Wilson replied briefly by say
ing that Mrs. Stanford was willing 10
accept the advice of the court in regard to
her duty in the matter and so submitted
the case.
Judge Coffey accepted the views OF the
attorneys for the iegatees and decided
that Mrs. Stanford will be compelled to
pay all the bequests in cash, as it appears
that TINS may be zone without prejudicing
the interests of other benefcIaries. He
said that he did not know that he would
feel called on to frame instructions for
the guidance OF the executrix, as she has
evidently conducted the management of
the estate in consonance with the inten-
ton Of the tcstator.
As permission 10 amend her petition
was denied 10 Mrs Stanford the order
made by Judge Coffey settles the qaestion
so far as the Probate Court is concerned.
The executrix has right to appeal to the
Supreme Court.

POLICE ARE
CALLED TO AID
House-to-House Inspection
in Chinatown Begins
To-Day.
Health Authorities Determined
to Stamp Out Diphtheria
There.
DR.. spenoers Report Confirms That
the Scourge Is Prevalent and
Needs Watching.

As a result of the inspection of China
town by DR.. Spencer and DR.. McMurdo of
the Board of Health. it has been deter
mined that the most stringent measures
are necessary for the stamping out OF dis
ease in the quarter, and the Health De-
partment has called in the assistance of
the police.
Beginning to-day a Health Inspector,
accompanied by police officer, will begin
a house to house inspection. and every
case of sickness of whatever nature will be
re ported to the Health Office for investi-
CATION. The board is determined to get
at the root of the trouble, and deems this
the best method OF finding out just what
it has to deal with.
DR.. Spencer finished his investigation
yesterday of the cases that were discov.
cred on Thursday while the inspection
was in progress, and out of five swabs
from which cultures were made it was
found that two had come from the throats
OF genuine diphlheria patients. Two others
were classed as pseudo diphtheria, and
one as merely aggravated sore throat.
In the report of his Investigations DR..
Spencer urged upon the board the neces-
SHY of rigid watchfulness to prevent the
further spread of the disease, and it was
for this reason that the house to- house in
spection was ordered.
DR.. Spencer testIfies to the great amount
of assistance rendered himself and his as
sstants by Miss Lake of the Chinese Mis-
sion, who accompanied them and aided in
inducing the Chinese to allow their chill
dren 10 be examined.
1t IS proba BILE that at the next meeting
of the board measures for the further in
spection OF the Chinese quarter will be

in his way be sensitive too. Others, how

There are other complaints in addition
to these. and several have spoken 10 the
