MRS. DUNSMUIR
SUES HER SON
Demands Property OF
British Columbia
Premier.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. S.-Mrs. Jane
Olive Dunsmuir, widow of the late Hon.
R. Dunsmuir, founder of the fortune of
British Columbia's wealthiest family. has
entered an action against her son, Hon.
James Dunsmuir, Premier of British Co
lumbia, which involves a portion of the
big estate. Mrs. Dunsmuir asks for the
delivery of 1885 shares in the r. Duns
muir Company Qin1ited), which controls
the Esquimalt and Northern Railway
Wellington collieries. Comox and Exten-
sion mines, collieries, coasting steamers
and an immense amount of other prop
erty. She claims that she is entitled to
these under an agreement which she en-
tered into with the defendant and her
other son, the late Alexander Dunsmuir
in September, 1886. She also wants an ac-
count of all dividends and profits upon
said shares from January 81, 1900, and
payment of same to her, with interest.
The shares mentioned in the action are
believed to be those left by the late Alex
ander Dunsmuir to his brother, and the
action in no way affects the fortune left
by Alexander Dunsmuir to his widow and
by her to her daughter, Edna Wallace
Hopper, the actress.

CALVE APPEARS
UNDER PROTEST
Only Urgent Pleading
Induces Her to
Sing.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. e.-The Herald
says: We did not see or hear Calve ait
her best. She was palpably off color
The secrets of a prima donna's entour-
age are as jealousy guarded as the in
trlgues of a court, but it is perfectly true
that Calve was induced to appear last
night only by the most urgent pleas.
CalVe is not used to transcontinentaI
travel and the trip from New Orleans to
Los Angeles, after a weeks indisposition
IN the South, exhausted her strength, or
a. Ieast racKed those nerves which are
supposed to- be inseparable from the high
est strung artistic temperament
Inc prlma donna'S throat troubled her
yesterday morning, and she did not want
70 sing IN the evening. FRITZ Scheff, orig
lha1ly bllled to sing Micaela was also
under the doctors care. And so the man
agement, with Napoleon Grau 500 miles
away, was al its wits end.
e. alhatly CAVE yielded, and, in all jus =
tlce, 1t must be said she tried to earn
ner nights wage. But she was at pains
10 let the audience into at least a share
OF her troubles. In the first act she be :
naVed bravely, and, while she did not tax
ner voice, was far from being the disa n
polntment that she subsequently, proved
In the second act something had again
disturbed mademoiSelle's nerves She even
leIt the stage Tor few seconds, presum-
ably TO protest against a draft that blew
across the stage. Calve never once really
aroused her house, and, sensitive person
that she is, she was quick enough to re
alize it.
Campanari received an ovation after
the toreador song and fairly won the hon
ors OF the evening, dividing share of
them with Marylli, who as Micaela
made a most favorable impression with
a voice of rare clearness and beauty.
These incidents, obviously enough. did
not add to Calves satisfaction with her
self.or with her audience.

GENTLY REARED
WOMAN s PLUCK
Mary Clagett Opens a
Barber Shop in
Spokane.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SPOKANE, Nov. S.-Mary Clagett,
daughter of the late Judge Clagett has
opened a barber shop in Spokane-the only
womar's shop in Washington. BY the
laws of the International BARRIERS Union
she is barred from entering the union She
recently applied and was refused admis-
sion.
The little woman comes of distin-
guished family. She is a daughter of the
late Judge William H. Clagett of this city,
who was one of the best-known men of
and political orator has been told around
many q campfire since the days of 40.
Judge Clagett once presented certificate
OF election to the Senate of the United
States, but was not seated, owing to a
technicality in his election. The place
went to Fred Dubois. Judge Clagett rep
resented Montana in Congress at one
term.
Miss Clagett had learned the barber
trade in Chicago. After her fathers death
she came here and sought work, though
her family strongly objected to this
means of her earning a living.
II don't blame the boys in the local
union for barring me out" says she. 81
is a rule of their international union an
they have no voice in the matter Many
of them have been most kind to me per-
sonally, but the shops here employ none
but members Of the union, and the union
will not let me in. 1t was as a last resort
that I opened this shop of my own. l
couldn't do anything else-I had to max .
a living and barbering is my trade. 1t is
the only thing i can work at.

SUMMING TOUR
PROVES SUCCESS
Proprietor of Pabst Cafe
in San Jose Is
Convicted.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Nov. S.-After ten minutes
elaboration tonight a jury in Justice
CObbS court found H. L. HirSch, prOprie-
tor of the Pabst Cafe, guilty of violating
the ordinance imposing a license on con-
cert halls.
Greater interest conferred in this case
than in any Justice Court affair tried
here in years. For more than a year
HirSch had refused to pay a license for
the concert hall attachment to his sa-
loon. The resort finally became so nOtO-
riOus that it was denounced from the
church pulpit and public sentiment caused
it to close. Then City Treasurer Nc
Geoghegan had Hirsch arrested for vio-
lating the license ordinance. Two days
were occupied in selecting a jury, which
was composed of business men.
Rev DIR. MacLaren of the Second Pres
byterian Church was a witness against
Hirsch. He said he had gone on a slum-
ming tour at the request of some of his
congregation to investigate the character
of the resort He had found gambling
running full blast, a ladies orchestra"
rendering music and youths and women
drinking. DR.. MacLaren said the place
was a vile den.
Hirsch will be sentenced on Wednesday
morning

between Meredith's last shot and Consi-
dimes first was conflicting, but the whole
tended to show that Meredith's hands
were hanging at his side and he was lean

Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. S.-Tom Notes,
Greek fisherman, was murdered early
this morning. He was stabbed to death by
Frank Nicholas, another Greek fisherman
who, like himself, lived in one of the
shacks clustered on Turret Rock, fronting
the upper harbor. The body of the muir
dered man, who died in less than a half
hour after the conStables brought him
to the city lookup, lies at the City Morgue
and out on the water of the straits the
murderer is endeavoring to escape in his
fishing sloop from constables who are
pursuing on the tug Sadie. So far he has
eluded the officers, but it is hardly likely
that he will escape.
The tragedy was the result of a quarrel
between the two fishermen. The men were
seen fighting by another fisherman, who,
with the brother of the murdered man.
is assisting in the search for the murderer
The police believe Notes was intoxi-

shipping Silver to Mexico.

1t is an instance of carrying Goals to
Newcastle that refined silver is now being
shipped in considerable quantities from
the United States to the neighboring re-
public of Mexico, whose silver productions
is very large. 1t comes about by the fact
that excessive expectations of silver coin
from Mexico to the Orient has caused a.
decided stringency in the Mexican money
market Many of the banks felt the
effect and 1T was difficult to obtain loans.
For time scarcity of silver in Mexico
caused rise in the price of coined silver.
but now the demand is better supplied ;
and the money condition has been re-
supplying the people Of China, Japan the
Philippines and India, and, in fact, ali the
East with silver coinage The people Of
Asia seem to have unlimited confidence in
the integrity Of Mexican coinage.-New

IMPROVED OUTLOOK
IN WALL STREET
Early Agreement Will Insure Peace
in Northwestern Rail
road Circles

NEW YORK, Nov 9.-The conviction
has crystallized in Wall Street that an
agreement will be arrived at which will
insure peace between the contestants in
the Northwestern Railroad territory and
will unite the hands of capitalists who
have been obliged to lock up enormous
capital in the struggle for control of the
Northern Pacific and the Burlington.
Reports of great activity in iron and
steel, of large percentage increases in
railroad gross earnings for the fourth
week in October and continued heavy
traffic and of good trade in general helped
rising prices. Large receipts of Aus
tralian and Klondike gold have offset
withdrawal for export, and treasury
bond redemptions have kept pace with
the Government surplus, thus keeping in
allegiance any anxiety over the money
market. Activity has greatly increased
both in stocks and bonds and prices have
risen.
