1.-THE TURTLE"
The Injunction Against Presenting
the Play Modified.

SAN FRANCISCO, June II. = The
MacDonough Estate Company, which
owns the building in which the Cali
noon applied for writ of injunction
restraining the production of the play
known as The Turtle"
The petitioners alleged that the pro-
duction is immoral, and would ipjure
the good name and subsequent BUSH
ness of the house if the managers con-
tinue to produce it ON the stage Of the
house.
The action Of the Marlborough people
was doubtless brought about by the
scathing newspapers criticism Of the
play, the chief feature of which is the
widely advertised 'disrobing scene
The application was presented to
Judge Dangerfield, who granted tenn
porary injunction. Just before the hour
for the theatrical performance the in
junction was modified by Superior
Judge Hebbard, before whom the tenn
porary injunction was made return
able, to permit the production of the
play known as 1.-The Turtle this even
ing, provided no lewd nor immoral
scenes nor passages were presented.
The management claimed to have cut
the piece so that it is quite presentable.
The criticisms and injunction pro-
ceedings had the effect of packing the
house, but the general verdict of the
audience was that the restraining petit
ton was far fetched. Not few pro-
nounced it ruse in the interests OF
the management to draw attention TO
the play and the theater.

STOCKTON, June 12.-Delegates to
the Grand Parlor of Native Daughters

jority will not arrive until tomorrow,
however.
Tomorrow evening there will be a
reception at Memorial Hall, the pro-

Some one else will be chosen to well
come the visitors.
To-day Memorial Hall, on California

decorated deliberately with artificial
poppies and with greenery and stream

NEW GRAIN RATES.
Vive President Croker Served
With q Copy Of the Schedule.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 12.-Secre-
tary William Sesnon Of the Board Of
Railroad Commissioners served on Sec
ond Vice President George Croker Of
the Southern Pacific Company a certi-
fed copy of the new local grain rate
schedule adopted by the board last
week. Mr. Croker accepted the serv-
ice, and said the company would soon
inform the board of it's intentions rela-
tive to the new rates. Under the law
the railroad is allowed twenty days in
which to put the new tariff into effect.
The question of costs in the now ia
nous grain rate case came up in the
|, United States Circuit Court to-day. The
case itself has been dismissed, but the
State has moved to so modify the de-
cree of dismissal that the railroad shall
pay the costs of the protected litigation.
On this point arguments by E. S. Pills
bury for the railroad and Attorney Gen.
eral Ford, aided by Judge Hayne, were
begun before Judge Morrow. The At
torney General commended that the rail-
road had voluntarily dismissed the suit,
and was therefore liable for the costs.
This proposition WAS opposed by Mr..
Pillsbury in a long argument, which
was not concluded when court ad-
jcurned.

EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Trouble Threatened Over the Con.
vention to at Indiauapolis.


INDIANAPOLIS June 12-Trouble is
threatened between the local general
committee in charge of the Interna-
tional Epworth League convention that
IS to meet in this city in a few weeks
and the State officials and custodian OF
the State Capitol.
1t is estimated that more than 10000
people will attend the convention from
the United States and Canada. The
local committee went before the last
Legislature and secured through a res
olution, permission to pitch a tent in
the Capitol grounds large enough to
accommodate 1900 or 5000 people.
The other day Custodian Vest of the
Capitol announced that he had taken
measurements of the ground, and would
not permit the tent to be pitched there,
as it would ruin the grounds and shade
trees. Chairman Lasby of the, commit
tee took umbrage at this, declaring
that the Legislature had given the COM
mittee authority to use the grounds. He
announced that the tent would be pitch
ed as at first contemplated, whereas
Custodian Vest announced that if an
effort were made to place the tent the
wiorkmen would be arrested, as he
would protect the State House grounds
at adj hazards.
The upshot of the fight came this ev-
ening in the call for a conference to-
morrow at the Commercial Club of the
parties interested. Chairman I.asby to-
day said unless the committee were
guaranteed a desirable site for the tent
the Epworth League convention would
be called off and sent 10 some other
city.

NELSON WILL CASE.
Hearing Of Evidence In the Contest
Begun at Colusa.


Begun at Colusa.
COLUSA, June 12.-The hearing of
evidence in the contested will case of
Henry c.. Nelson, wealthy farmer of
Colusa County, who died about eighteen
months ago, aged 70 years, leaving all
of his property to six heirs at law, was
begun to-day.
The contestants represent seventeen
relatives residing in the East, who
claim that during a collapse following
a stroke of paralysis in 1897, Nelson,
while at a San Francisco hotel, and in
an almost unconscious condition, was
unduly influenced to assent to the terms
of will dictated by E. J. Hill, an at
torney, and written by DR.. Thomas
Calvin, his physician who was made
executor without bonds, though Nelson
had known him less than thirty days.
The estate was devised to six heirs
who were present at the time, all
others, it is alleged, being ignored. Sub
sequently a codicil was added to the
will making Attorney J. w. Goad of
Colusa and two members of the family
additional executors, but not altering
the disposition of the property.
The parties to the contest are all
prominent, and are represented by able
attorneys. But little testimony was
taken to-day. An objection to evidence
regarding an alleged conspiracy was
taken under advisement until to-mor
row .
