Eastern Organizations Which Are Pre-
pairing to Come Here.
Charles S. Hoyt, secretary of the COM
mittee of the Cleveland Grays of Cleve-
land, Ohio, has written to the carnival
committee saying that the company has
taken immediate. action upon the invita-
ton 10 attend the Carnival of the Golden
Gate. The chairman appointed COM
mittee, consisting of Major W. F. Reese,
Quartermaster w. W. Hay ward. President
F. B. Skeels, Sergeant Charles S. Hoyt
and Corporal II. P. Sheepe. This COM
mittee has been instructed to procure
rates and consider the most feasible plans
TO bring about the proposed trip and re-
port to the organization the result OF their
efforts on the first Monday in April.
The ''Old Guard" of New York, one OF
the most prominent military and social
organizations of veterans of the war, has
been invited to attend the carnival. Emil
L. Phillips an old San Franciscan, has
been delegated to extend the invitation
imme diately.
Inquiries regarding the meeting to be
held at the California Hotel tonight were
numerous at the headquarters yesterday.
The prospects of large attendance OF the
representatives of the organizations and
business men generally are considered ex
cellent by the carnival committee.
The new programme outlined by Direc-
tor Frledlander will be presented to the
public for the first time. 1t contains
number of striking features which promis,
to make carnival week the most noted ont
in the history of San Francisco.

and John Higgins. Higgins owns hotel

terry.
1t is broadly limited that other arrests
will follow between this and the date OF
the trial of the ejectment suits two weeks
hence. 1t is claimed by attorneys
in the case that all the parties
in interest and all the principal witnesses
in those suits will be arrested, including
Mrs. Elizabeth Haskins, Stephen X.
Roberts, George r. Williams and John &.
Barker.
Mrs. Haskins, Mrs. Craven's friend, they
say will be charged with perjury and
uttering a forgery. She has testified that
she saw Senator FAIR hand the deeds to
Mrs. Craven; that she was present when
Senator Fair wrote the pencil viii, and
asked HIM if he had made provisions In 1t
for Mrs. Craven; that he drew from his
pocket the deeds, saying, II have PROVIDED
for her in another way"
On this testimony it is the plan of the
attorneys for the heirs to prosecute Mrs:
Haskins for perjury on this testimony and
also for utter ing a foTgery"-that is, OF
accrediting a paper knowing it to be
forgery.
Stephen R. Roberts is the confidential
friend of and has power OF attorney from
Mrs. Craven. He and George K. VIII
hams, attorney, put the ueeuS on TeCoFu
and for that they are to be prosecuted for
"uttering forgery"
John G. Barker is a new figure in the
play. He is said to have assisted the others
in various ways and he may be prosecuted
for conspiracy. 1t is also limited
that there is plan to finally
arrest Mrs. Craven-so that all the par
ties contending for the validity of the
Craven deeds will very likely be under
bonds to answer some charges hanging
over them in the criminal court when the
contest for the property which Mrs.
Craven claims is her own, through gift
from Senator Fair, shall come on Tor trial.
Captain Lees, while speaking with con-
fidence of the proof in the Cooney case,
said yesterday:
80 lar as l know there are no more
warrants to be issued and the whole affair
should rest where 1t is.

YOUNGEST OF LITIGANTS.
A Babe of Eighteen Months a Plaintiff
In a Case Before the Supreme
Court.

The question OF how young litigant
may figure in proceedings before the SUI
preme Court has probably just been made
manifest in the case of David Cunningham
against the Los Angeles Railway Com
pany. David Cunningham, in the Ian
guage of decision handed down in the
Supreme Court yesterday, "wss an infant
of Is months" This probably beats the
age record in litigation before the highes.
judicial tribunal of this State. Little
David toddIed on the track of the Los
Angeles Railway Company's electric line
and was knocked down and injured by
the cars.
"He brought this action" so went the
decision, Ito recover damages for the in
jury, alleging negligence by defendant in
running over him. From Judgment in
his favor, and an order denying defend
ants motion for a new trial, the latter
appeals"
The Supreme Court has ordered that q
new trial shall be had by reason of errors
in the proceedings in the trial court.
There were several errors. One was the
charging by the trial Judge to the jury
THAT the law does not require parents to
keep an attendant with their young chill
dren, and that they are not required TO
shut them up. While, abst-actIy speak
ing, these things are perfectly true, such
precautions are necessary, under any
given circumstances, to constitute ordinary
care for the safety of their children, with
which parents are charged. is one of fact
for the jury and not for the court to deter
mine as matter Of law"
SO little David, at the age of little
more than IS months, will once more
appear in court to try to secure damages
as litigant for having been run over by
an electric car which was operated by a
new hand, who had been on the line only
twelve DAVIS.

Several efforts were made to get the
Justices to agree on division of the two
years 10 which they have just been
elected, but no progress was made because
one Justice insisted on voting for himself
and for no one else, while another wanted
the first term in the office and would not
give way.
Thus the matter hung fire until yester-
day, when Justice Groezinger, who is now
presiding Justice, and Justices Cook and
Kerrigan settled the difference by putting
their heads together and apportioning the
two years among themselves.
According to the plans OF the com bina-
ton Justice Kerrigan will at once be elect
ed to the presiding chair, which he will
hold for eight months, and will be followed
by Justice Cook who will be the incum-
bent for ike period Justice Groezinger
will take the last eight months of the
term.
By this combination Justice Barry, the
fourth Republican Justice, is left out in
the cold. He says he is not bothered
about the matter because the position is
not worth contest.

William Ellis and William j. johnson, who
were recently arrested in the Mission by the
police for passing and possessing counterfeit
money, were before United States Commits
sloner Heacock yesterday. Ellis was dis
charged because the evidence was not suffi-

at the time OF arrest. Things look rather dark
for Johnson. Two years ago he was arrested
on similar charge, but escaped punishment.
