VERY MUCH ALIVE.
A Silly Rumor That e. *. Aisip
Had Shot Hi1nse

The entire city was disturbed yester-
day afternoon and last night over a
rumor to the effect that Edwin K. Alsip,
the well-known real estate dealer, had
shot himself.
Nobody seemed to know whence or
how the story originated, but the "Rec-
ord-Union's" telephones were kept ring
ing all evening by persons anxious to
know if there was any truth in 1t.
Mr.. Alsip went to Rio Vista on Sun
day to visit his father and returned last
night. He had heard nothing of the
rumor concerning him until he reached
home. After enjoying a good laugh over
the matter he asked the Record
Union" to "Just tell them that you saw
me-"
The disquieting story probably grew
out of the fact that q prominent real es-
tate operator of Oakland and San Fran
cisco. named Edwin II. Palmer, dled
very suddenly yesterday and that the
Coroner deemed it a proper case for an
inquest.

Professional practice in the Bowers

professional practice in the Bowers
dredger case.
The decision carefully reviewed the
connection of Boone with the dredger
case, and his relations with his client,
Bowers, the inventor, and made some
severe comments upon them.
Boone was an attorney in the service
of Bowers After his connection with
Bowers had ceased, Boone offered TO
furnish the other side with facts that he
said would defeat Bowers case. rms ne
wrote to an attorney named Bates III
Chicago, saying that from his long con-
nection with Bowers, he was in posses
sion of information which would be in
valuable to Bates and his client, Won
Schmidt, in the coming litigation He
offered his services in the case, ana
urged that he be engaged, on the ground
that he would be able to use information
gained while upon confidential relations
with Bowers.
Bowers, upon this Information, hleo
disbarment proceedings, and to-day
Judge Morrow decided in favor OF the
petition, disbarring Boone forever from
practice in the Federal Courts.

Virtues Busy Inning.

Albert Rockingham and John Dawson
had been boys together. Albert had
always gone to Sunday-school and
obeyed his parents, but John had been
bad boy He had loved to torture kit
tens, to destroy birds nests and to
make little girls cry.
In time they grew to manhood ard
loved the same woman.
Julia BirdsaIl worshiped Albert
Rockingham. until he was arrested for
highway robbery and sentenced to the
penitentiary for twenty-seven years.
Then her heart turned to stone.
"Julial" he cried, as they were lead
ing him away, Julia! Julia! 1 am IN

But she gave him the Chilcoot Pass
and tainted in the arms of John Daw-
son, who smiled sardonically and NUT
tered:
so much Albert Rockingham, for be-
ing a good boy and going to Sunday
school"
Twelve years passed-twelve weary,
sorrow-laden years, during which John
Dawson made love to the woman who
hams wife, and collected the rents that

had.
But Nemesis had all along been bid
ing her time, and one day. when John
Dawson wasn't looking, she stole up
and hit him on the solar plexus.
Two days later Albert Rockingham
emerged from prison, weighing seven
teen pounds more than he did when he
was sentenced.
"Julia," he cried when she stepped
forward at the depot
ALBERT" sreamed the beautiful girl,
and their lips met.
Then John Dawson was led away,
gritting his teeth and swearing that he
was not through yet.
Vain threat! He rotted in dun
geon, while Albert and Julia raised a
large family and were truly happy
Thus virtue had triumphed, but. un-
fortunately, this didn't happen in real

The Order of Execution Of Judge
BahrS Reversed.
Hearing of the Case Yesterday Before the
State Supreme Court.
Judge Morrow in the United States
Circuit Court Renders Dec1-
sion Throwing Out of Court the
Suit Of the English Blythes for
the Property Left by Thomas
Blythe

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.-The Su-
preme Court of this State this morning,
to all practical purposes, refused,
though not in so many words, to en-
tertain the motion of Deputy Attorney
General Carter in the Durrant case,
upon the ground that in reality there
is no appeal pending before the high
est tribunal of this State.
incidentally, the Chief Justice took
occasion to score Superior Judge Bahrs
in rather pointed language, While
throughout the argument heard at this
mornings session the Justices plainly
evinced their resentment at the act
ion of the Judge of the lower court
who had criticised the Supreme trib-
unal.
Deputy Acknowledgement Carter
opened the proceedings in the 4amous
case to-day by addressing the court
upon his motion, made some time ago,
TO shorten the time necessary IN which
a preliminary warning must be given IN
order to secure a motion to dismiss any
pending appeal. The usual time required
by the Supreme Court is ten days,
but Deputy Attorney General Garter
desired to clear the Supreme Court Of
the case, by securing the dismissal OF
the appeal to-day. This he was unable
to do, however, for the reason that the
Supreme Court indicated that in grant
ing the certificate of probable cause,
short time ago, the result was pract-
cally a reversal of Judge Bahrs' act
ion. in sentencing the famous criminal
to be executed within forty-eight hours
OF the receipt of the news Of the action
Of the United States Supreme Court.
AS Durrants attorneys had appealed
to the State Supreme Court from Judge
Bahrs' order of execution. they, as did
the Attorney General, supposed the
matter was still pending. even though
the certificate of probable cause had is
sued, there having been no actual de-
cision upon the points involved. Chief
Justice Beatty, therefore, created
somewhat Of a sensation this morning
when from the bench he announced
that, practically, the issuance of the
certificate amounted to a reversal of
Judge Bahrs' order. This being the
case, Durrant's appeal has been deter
mined in his favor.
This court did not officially and
pointedly reverse the Superior Judges
order" said the Chief Justice, but
when SIX out OF the seven JuStlceS con-
cur in granting q certificate Of proba-
ble cause, it amounts to the same thing,
and we are ready to make a formal
order of reversal. The Judge Of the
lower court has taken occasion to say
through the press that the action of
the Supreme Court was inconceivable
Possibly we may be able al some future
time to make an order that he win COM
prehend.''
As his honor concluded, the Deputy
Attorney General arose and made a
motion to the effect that the order of
Judge Bahrs be reversed.
"I make this consequent upon the in
dication Of the court that this action
viii be taken instanter."
The court assented, and thus the ses-
sion so far as the Durrant case was
concerned practically closed.

SONS OF WEALTHY FAMILIES.
Two Boys Who Burg1arized Gun
Store at San Jose.

SAN JOSE, Dec. 6.-The boys ar
rested yesterday for burglarizing the
gun store of f. Schilling & Son have
been identified. They are Frank ana
Jesse Harris, first cousins. They be-
long to prominent and even wealthy
families.
The daring Of their deed appalls the
police They broke open the doors OF
the building with the skill and deter
mination of veterans in crooked work,
and secured firearms enough to stock
a store. Their nonchalance when ar
rested on suspicion is most surprising.
Each has given bail in $1,000 ana
been released. There is no question
Of their guilt, according to the officers.
Their families are greatly grieVed
over the affair, and cannot explain the
act They say they had every proper
want gratiffed, and were never denied
money when needed.

CHIEF LEES REELECTED.
Chosen to Serve Two Years Longer
as Head of the Police Force.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 6.-Chief of
Police Lees was reelected to the office
he now holds by the Board of Police
Commissioners this morning.
The meeting was held with closed
doors, but echoes from it were heard
on the outside. and it was evidently a
very lively affair
Commissioner Moses Gunst, who went
to the meeting with the intention of op-
posing, and If possible preventing the
reelection of Lees of Chief of Police,
opened the proceedings by making a mo-
ton that the election be postponed for
eight months. This was done in the
hope that In the meantime Chief Lees
might be induced to retire. following the
example of Chief Crowley.
There was at first no second to the
motion, but as soon as it had been sec
onded. Mr.. Gunst made violent
speech, charging Chief Lees with being
unfit 70 hold the office of Chief of Po-
lice. lie said the Chief had misused the
power he held. and that he should be
made to retire and give place to some
younger and more competent man.
After his attack the election took
place. Mr. Gunst was the only member
who voted no on the motion to re-elect
Chief Lees for the ensuing two years
term.

BLYTHE ESTATE.
Mrs. Hinck1ey Wins an Important
Victory in the Federal Court

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.-Florence
Blythe -Hincl1ley has won a most m
portant victory in the Federal courts
and her rights to the vast property she
has SO long struggled for In the courts
have been fully sustained.
To-day United States Circuit Judge
Morrow delivered an opinion reversing
a, decree made some months ago, ad-
verse to Mrs Hinckley, and, going one
step farther, impregnably established
her in full possession OF the Blythe
millions by nonsuiting the contestants
to her property.
Judge Morrow's action in the latter
portion of his decree this morning is
based on the grounds that the Fed
eral courts have no jurisdiction IN the
litigation, therefore the final decree OF
distribution made by the State courts
awarding the bulk of the Blythe estate
to Mrs. Florence Blythe-Hinckley must
stand.
