DEEDS FILED FOR RECORD
Easy Way Arranged by Maekay for
Disposal OF Portion of His
Vast Estate.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-James L.
Flood and Attorney McInerney have filed for
record deeds signed by the late John w.
Mackay for all the real estate which the
latter owned in this city at the time Of his
death.
They are drawn in favor of his wife,
Marie Louise H.. Mackay, and his son,
Clarence H.. Mackay, who will share alike
In all respects, and in the three parcels OF
real estate transferred the conditions In the
two are love and affection and In the
third a nominal sum is named.
Two we're drawn in New York City on
December 21. 1900, before George H. Corey,
commissioner OF deeds Tor California. They
give to Mrs. Mackay and her only son the
Grand Opera house in this city and the
valuable property at the southwest corner
Of Fourth and Market streets.
One was drawn In San Francisco before
Notary Public Hollandsmith on March 20,
1902. during Mr.. Mackay's last visit here,
and 1t disposes OF an undivided half in
terest in the Nevada block at Montgomery
and Pine streets.
Mackay's purpose in signing the deeds
and entrusting them to Flood, his old -timt
friend. is thought to be because he wanted
to make easier and less expensive to the
heirs the administrator of his estate.

GIFTS ARE TO BE ACCEPTED
Delicate Question Involved In oner-
ings of Pope to Taft
Party.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Governor Taft
has acquainted Secretary Root with the fact
reported in the news dispatches from Rome
that the pope had rendered several pretty
and appropriate gifts to himself and the
members Of his party and he has asked
whether they can lawfully be accepted.
1t was at once recognized that the ques-
tion thus presented involved some very
delicate and interesting points. principal
among them being a possible decision, ex-
pressly to be avoided at, this stage In the
opinion Of the officials, as to the temporal
powers Of the pope. If these were decora-
lions or gifts of large value. then under the
constitutional inhibitions they might not be
received without authority of congress II
the pope is regarded as having temporal
powers-as being a prince. a potsntate or a
sovereign.
Secretary Root, however, avoided IN un-
pleasant decision of. this question by in
forming Governor Taft that II these gifts
are not Of considerable intrinsic value and
personal in nature they may be accepted as
mere souvenirs, in which case the person
ality OF the giver need not be a matter. OF
oficial inquiry. On the other hand, II the
gifts are of exceptional value, which is not
believed to be the case from the newspaper
reports, then they may be deposited in the
Smithsonian institute in this city.

KEEFE CAN ORDER STRIKE
'LOngshoremen and the Empower
Him to Act Relative to Tieup
of Marine industries.

CHICAGO, July 22.-In the hands Of one
man now rests the decision whether a tieup
Of the marine industries of the great lakes
shall be decreed. This man is President
d. J. Keefe of the International 'Longshore-
men, Marinemen and Transport Workers
association. Today as the result of a strike
of tugmen which has been iu progress since
April the executive body of his association
empowered him to decide whether the co.
600 members engaged in loading, unloading
and operating vessels on the lakes shall
cease work to help the tugmen in their
strike against the tug trust.
II the decision be for a fight work will be
suspended on all the iron ore. coal and
lumber docks along the chain of lakes.
The fact that the Licensed Tugmen's as
ISOLATION was admitted to membership in
the 'Lonshoremen's association while it al
ready had a strike on its hands is taken IL
taken to indicate that It's officers expect
help. The tugrnen have for some time en-
deavored 70 get the dock workers mixed UP
in their strike.
With the whole matter in his hands for
settlement 1t is likely that Mr.. Keefe will
visit Cleveland within a week for a con-
ference with. officials of the Great Lake
Towing company Upon the result Of this
meeting will largely depend the future OF
the strike against the company.
Should a sympathetic strike be ordered
atithis time the result would be most dis
astrous to lak commerce.

between the two factions. and Prince Gu
pid. with about forty other delegates,

party in opposition to Delegate to Con-
gress Robert w. Wilcox.
Delegate Wilcox and Kaliuokalani have
both stated that they can do without the
element represented by the prince and
that Wilcox will be elected to congress
again. but II lie generally thought that the

Gus one, and republican papers predict
that 1t will end in the defeat OF Wilcox in
the coming election.
After the bolt Of the dissatisfied ones
the regular convention nominated Wilcox
for delegate to congress and adjourned.

SHAW FAVORS CIVIL SERVICE
Secretary of Treasury elves Out
Statement Relative to Certain
Newspaper Reports.

WASHINGTON. July 22.-The following
statement was made public at the once OF
The secretary OF the treasury today;
Numerous inquiries nave been received at
the Treasury department relative to the
truth or falsity of the alleged assertion OF
Secretary Shaw that he was in favor of
a nve-year limit for service In the Treas
ury department..
The original newspaper article and those
that followed II stating that the secretary
believed a departmental employe lost his
usefulness after Ave years in. the gov
eminent work were SO ridiculously i'm
probable that they were never dignihed
by a denial. That a great many people
have taken these articles seriously has
been demonstrated by the number OF in
quiries, not only from Washington, but
from all over the country.
To avoid any other misconception of the
facts In the case IL may be announced on
absolute authority that no such remark
or expression was ever made by Secretary
Shaw and that the articles purporting Ia
represent his Views as a headsman were
made out of whole cloth.
On the contrary 1t may be stated with
equal authority that Secretary Shaw is
heartily in accord with civil service in
every respect. AS an illustration of his
attitude on matters of personnel, may be
cited his signing yesterday a set of reg.
ulations paying laborer and other unskilled
persons under the control Of the civil
service commission, removing thereby the
last bit OF patronage at the disposal OF
the secretary of the treasury.
