HE WANTS HIS SHARE.
Edward H. Clark Sues His Family
for an Accounting and Damages.

Suit was filed yesterday by Edward H
Clark against his mother, Charlotte F.
Clark; his sister, Charlotte H Clark; his
brother, Harold Clark, and Edith A. E.
and Charles G. Lyman to recover possess
sion of One-eighth of the estate of his de-
ceased father, jeremiah Clark, and $50 900
damages for the detention thereof by the
defendants. In his complaint the plain
tiff alleges that after the death of his
parent the entire estate was consolidated
by the heirs that it might be more cas-
lily handled. Since that time, he AYERS,
his mother has realized $55 900 profits from
the estate and has made $250,000 in real
estate investments, none of which has
been shared with him as an heir to the
estate. He asks ithat the court decree
that an accounting be had between him
and the defendants and that he be given
his share of the profits, that the estate
be partitioned as far as he is concerned
that he may be placed in possession of
his share, and for damages in the sum
of $780, 900 for the refusal of the defend
ants to account to him regarding the
profits of the estate and paying to him
his share according to his interest in the
estate, as provided in the agreement at
the time of the consolidation of the in
terests of the various heirs of the estate.

SENIOR BALL.
Members of the University Gradual.
ing Glass Hold Their Last
Social Function.

BERKELEY, May n-COmmencement
week at the University of California was
ushered IN by the senior ball held to-
night The ball is an annual affair given
by the members Of the graduating class
and is always the last social function be-
fore the close of the college term. This
year it was held in Harmon gymnasium
upon the university campus. The work
of the committee on decorations left the
building very prettily arranged for the
occasion. Long hangings of blue and
gold, meeting at a point in the center of
the room, with dash here and there of
red among the palms and green's, gave
the princinal effect. The limited number
of invitations made the hall less crowded
than usual, but the affair was none the
4 less successful.
Following is a list of the committees in
charge:
Floor manager-William II. Houston.
Committee on Charles
NJ. Mannon, chairman; Bartlett Thane,
Miss Alice Rising, Miss Louise j. Holling

MURDER WAS INTENDED.
Remarkable Discovery of Bullet in
Victim of the Thalia Sa-
1oo17 EracaC

OAKLAND, May IA discovery was
made to-day that establishes beyond all
question the fact that the assault upon
"Covey'' Randlett at the notorious Thalia
saloon on the county road about two
weeks ago was prompted by murderous
intent. After the drunken brawl at the
Thalia. in which furniture and windows
We're smashed and much blood spilled,
Randlett was treated at the Receiving
Hospital for an ugly cash on the head,
which appeared TO have been made by
blows from q revolver Randlett was
very reticent all the while, and though It
was known that 4 pistol had been used
he declined to give any details.
Since then Dr. Rowe has been attending
Randlett and to-day the physician dis
covered a hard lump on the back of his
patients skull. An incisiOn was promptly
made and a fattened forty yfour-callber
bullet extracted. When confronted with
the missile Randlett finally admitted
that he had been shot at the time of the
row. His escape had been miraculous,
for the shot had been delivered straight
from the back, but instead Of penetrating
the skull it fattened against the bone.
The discovery viii be taken into account
by the Supervisors in scrutiniZing the af-
fairs of the immoral roadside houses and
saloons. and Will be given consideration
in granting licenses in the future.

ment and later was placed in command
of the Third Brigade of the Fifth Army

The Grand Jury Investigating Illicit
Practices in Police Courts.

Yesterdays session of the Grand Jury
was devoted to examination of wit
nesses in the matter of the issuance of a
straw bond for the release of the negro,
Harry Wilson. EX-Deputy Sheriff Ed
Riley, who was named as one of the sure
ties on the worthless bond, was examined,
but denied any completely in the affair
He declared that he did not see Police
Court Clerk Kelly on the night that the
bord was accepted, and as proof of his
assertion he asked that the jury call a
man by the name of Hogan. Hogan
claimed that he was with Riley on the
night in question and that Riley did not
sign a bond and did not meet Kelly. Ex-
Sheriff Whelan testified that Rileys char
acter during the time he was in the Sher-
ifs office was neither good nor bad

PROFESSIONAL BEGGARs.

Paul Jenkins and his wife Annie are
professional beggars. Their mode Of ope-
rations is for Annie to go into saloons in
the "tenderloin" district and solicit aims
for a mythical starving family. She was
successful in getting, as a rule, lot of
money, which he handed to her husband,
who remained outside.
They were arrested Wednesday night
by Policeman Sylvester, and when they
he at once recognized her as the woman
whose plea for her starving family on
two occasions had the effect of making
him give her some silver. When uues-
toned by the Judge both unblushingly
denied ever having visited any saloon or
having seen the Judge before. This was
too much for the Judge and he sent them
10 the County Jail for six months each.

George Mastick.

ALAMEDA, May 11.-Basket ball Is the
latest fad of Alameda society. Although
there has never been game of real i'm
portance played here, the only topic of
conversation in the upper circles is the
contest to take place Saturday afternoon
on the lawn of Mrs. George II. MaStck' S
premises between teams representing the
High School and the Longfeilow School.
The affair is under the auspices of the
Alameda Women Charitable Associa-
ton and the proceeds will go to enrich
the treasury of that worthy organization.
Mrs. Mastick, who is one of the leading
spirits of the association, has made it a
practice TO give her home over one day
in every year to some entertainment or
social function, the proceeds of which
might assist the society in carrying on
its work of charity. Last year it was
a pink tea" which proved to be one Of
the social features of the season. This
year it is to be basket ball, and from the
interest taken in the approaching game
by the swell set there is little doubt that
the contest will be brilliant society af-
fair.
The teams will be composed of the fol-
Alameda High School-Miss Zona Leon
ard (captain), center; Miss Vida Mexican,
right center; Miss Irma Slider, left cen
ter; Miss Ruth Thompson, goldman; Miss
Ora Healey, right goal; Miss Kathleen
Lehnahan, left goal; Miss Doretha Bowen,

fred Mastick Captain goldman; Miss
Emma Grass, right goal; Miss Eva
Roesch, left goal; Miss Ada Cambridge.
guard; Miss Gretchen Suennen, right
guard; Miss Minna Abraham, left guard (;
Miss Bessie Lanktree, substitute.
The colors Of the High School will be
white and gold. The team will wear uni
forms of dark green. Red will be the color
of the Longfellows. Their uniforms will
be of the same shade The teams have
been pracucing most ZealouSly for the
past six weeks, and are said TO put up as
fine a game as can be played. The Long
fellows have been coached by Miss Mac
GOWan, and the lady feels confident that
her sprightly players viii get away with
the more experienced basket ballists of
the High School. Miss Matte Leonard is
coaching the latter team, and she is
equally confident that her aggregation is
invincible.
The officials for the game will be Miss
Matte Leonard, referee; Miss Ray Ja-
cobs and Miss MacGowan umpires Miss
Maryan Leonard, scorer; Miss Bessie
Johnson, timekeeper
As the proceeds of the game will go to
a deserving charitable society there is
little question that the Mastick grounds
will be crowded Saturday.

A COPPER BOOM.
c. D. Van Duzer Says One Has Struck
Golconda. New.


c. D. Van Duzer, District Attorney of
Humboldt County, New, and editor of the
Golconda News, is a guest at the Palace.
Mr. Van DuZer is in the city for the pur-
pose of interesting capital in some valua-
BILE copper properties in Golconda, and
states that his section is now enjoying a
copper boom Of no small dimensions.
The recent activity in copper" said
Mr.. Van DuZer, land the rise in prices
have caused many inquiries for proper
and most successful copper plant in Ne
vada. The Glasgow Western Exploration
Company has purchased three smelters,
two roasters and a steel concentrating
road into it's property. 1t is putting
through 225 tons a day, and will double
that before long. It's mines are in the
south, end of copper belt which has been
traced for thirty-fve miles.
Morton Lindley, a mining expert of
Chicago, has bonded group of fifteen
mines for 100000. Forty-five men are at
work developing them and a rich strike
sprung up twenty-five miles from Gol-
conda called Lindley. Golconda, however,
is the center of the copper belt. There
are a hundred proSpectorS and twenty
experts now on the ground. Some own
ers have refused $1,000 for their proper
ties At Adelaide an apparently mex
haustible mountain of the metal has been
uncovered.
"Golconda a year ago contained one
store and a hotel, and now seven hundred
people have located there. twenty-five
miles north of Winnemucca, State Con-
troller Sam Davis has become interested
in valuable copper properties. The de-
velopment of the industry insures the
erection of at least twelve smelters and
the employment of over 1000 men, if
present indications count for anything.
The New York Company will erect three
smelters in Golconda.
1.-The hot springs in that vicinity will
also be developed, and l am interesting
myself in the building of sanitarium,
for Golconda will undoubtedly prove to
be a popular health resort"

First California Have Royal Sport at

Notwithstanding the martial air which
pervades the Philippines the boys Of the

field day sports in which they par
ticipated at home. letter recently re-
ceived from Bacolod, Negros Island, gives
an interesting account of series of base
ball games which were played during the
month of March by picked mines from
the various companies, and also of a field
day which was held on April l. The first
game of baseball was between teams
from Companies II and e. The score was
to 1 in favor of Company H. The sec
ond of the series was between Companies
A and B, in which the latter won the
day on a score of 9 to G. Companies H
and B then played off the final for the
championship. At the end of the ninth
inning of this game the score stood 3 to
3. Another inning was added, but neither
side gained any advantage by 1t. Dur
ing the eleventh inning however, Com
pany II secured another tally, and
marched away the heroes of the hour
The field day sports on April consisted
Of obstacle races, cartridge races, swim
ming races and all sorts of games which
are characteristic of college life. The day
was immensely enjoyed, and was perhaps
the most notable event which has oc-

ago Joseph w. Dyas, husband of Mrs.
Maggie Dyas, was killed by falling der
rick in the yards Of the Southern Pacific

verdict was found as above stated.
