A CLUMSY FORGERY
Fails to Secure the Dreifus Es-
tate

SAN JOSE, March 26.-The estate of
Frank Dreifus. or braves, valued at
s445O. is ready for distribution. Mrs.
Mary ]. Friend of Phoenix, Ariz set up
a claim for it, alleging that she was his
cousin. braves died here suddenly
year ago. and the public administrator
took charge. No relative has ever bean
found, and the administrator asked that
the estate be distributed to the state for
the schools In court, on the hearing TO-
day. Mrs. Friend resisted and put in her
claim, producing letters which she said
were from braves. The signatures were
awkward forgeres even the court m
timating from the bench that they were.
Mrs. Friends attorney withdrew from
the case saying the signatures We're
forged. Mrs. Friend persisted until the
court continued the case one week, al
vising her to get counsel lest she crlm-
mate herself. The court remarked that
the case Sc ened to be one for the insane
asylum rather than the penitentlafy.
Mrs Friend is 60 years old.

Velodrome Races of the Top-Notch

SAN FRANCISCO, March 26-There
were two good races for professionals
tonight at the indoor bicycle tourna
ment and all the races were of the top
notch order. Nothing like them has been
seen in this country, so the eastern riders
say, and nothing goes to prove the fact
more than the fact that Jay Eaton, wEo

golden crown, and he Is Charles Wells,

Wells won the mile invitation race for

Of Chicago, w. A. Terrill and Floyd
Mcfarland, the only qualified riders in
the final of the race.
The race was a sprint from start to
finish. Eaton caught the pacemaker
morris of Texas and the others lined
up as follows: Mcfarland, Wells and
Terrill. Morris set fast pace for five
and a half laps, when he withdrew in
response to the starters whistle. A
pretty play for position followed, with
Eaton in front and setting a rafting
pace and Wells in the rear. looking the
ground over, just before the bell tap.
Wells commenced to unwind his cele-
brated spring and soon commenced to
pull away from the field. Eaton started
after him, but was soon passed by Me-

Terrill jumped away from Mcfarland,
but could not overtake the new indoor

CAVEAT EMPToR
Make Due Inquiry Before Completing
Trades

SAN FRANCISCO, March 26.-Super-
ior Judge Hebbard rendered judgment
today for the defendant in the action
brought by B. n. Dow ct al. against
r. A. Swain ct al, a case which in-
volved some peculiar points.
The plaintiffs alleged that in August,
1895. they traded a ranch in Tulare
county worth $4,000 for 22.000 shares In
the Atlas Iron works owned by the de-
PENDANTS, acting upon various state
ments made by the latter regarding the
prosperous condition of the works ana
the profits accruing from their manage
ment. Upon investigation, made after
the deal had been completed, 1t was
found that these statements were wholly
untrue, and the present action was
brought to recover the ranch and to set
aside the whole transaction. The de-
PENDANTS set up a general denial and the
case was tried and submitted. The court
held that the parties to a contract are
themselves responsible for their own err
rors in Judgment, saying that the courts
will not protect those who do not pro-

Canadian Tariff

OTTAWA, March 26-In the house of

the speech from the throne was taken
I'M. The address was made by Mr.. Rus
sell, Liberal, of Halifax. Referring TO
the tariff he said that for many years
Canada had been suffering from high
protective tariff which fostered all kinds
of trusts and combines. The country
needed a change and return to the
policy OF revenue only was absolutely
necessary and would be approved by the
people The change. however, would
have to be a gradual one, otherwise the
industry of the country would suffer.
The United States, Mr.. Russell said,
framed its tariff to suit its own purposes
and Canada would do the same, not nee
essarily in a spirit of retaliation, but
with view of doing what was best for

PEACE TERMS
Settlement Hampered by Demands
Made by Germany

CONST July 26.-At the
sitting of the peace conference today the
ambassadors presented the peace pre-
liminaries drafted by the powers, which
provide for European arbitration of any
differences that may arise between the
Greek and Turkish plenipotentiarieS in
arranging a definite treaty. 1t is stated
that the powers will insist upon the ac-
ceptance by the porte of this provision
and its reception, therefore, by the sui
tar, will be highly significant. The de-
sire of Germany to institute European
control of Greek finances still hampers
the settlement of the indemnity ques-
ton. 1t is understood that the Volo-
Larissa railway will be transferred to
the Greek army station with the stipu-
latiop that the same facilities shall be
granted to Turkey for the transporta-
ton of troops as are granted to Greeks.
This, therefore, does not indicate an In
tention on the part of Turkey to evac-
uate Thessaly, but is merely measure
of economy
