CHINESE DEMUR
TO A CITATION
Presidents Of Six Com
panies Deny Being
in Contempt.
Interpreters Give Different
Meaning to Offending
Placard.

The presidents Of the Chinese Six Com
panies and their secretary, Chin Leong
Po, who were cited to appear before Po-
lice Judge Cabaniss to show cause why
they should not be punished for contempt
Of court were present in court yesterday.
The contempt consisted in posting pla-
card on the walls of Chinatown making
threats against any one, white or yellow,
who would assist in the defense of Woo
Shuck. charged with completely in the
robbery at Wo Sings store, 726 Dupont
street. on the night Of May 30, 1902
They were represented by Attorney
Carr. who entered a demurrer claiming
that nothing had been shown prejudicial
10 the interests of the defendant or that
any one had been intinidated by the pla-
card. He also said that the contents OF
the placard had an entirely different
meaning from the Interpretation given
them by the attorneys for the defendant,
w S. Barnes and H. II. McCloskey.
Chin Leong Po was called and testified
that the placard, which was prepared by
the janitor of the Six Companies, was
aimed at highbinders committing subor-
nation of perjury in the case and was in
effect in the interests Of justice.
DR.. J. Z. Gardner, Chinese interpreter
and inspector in the Federal service, and
Dong Gong, interpreter in the police
courts. both testified that the alleged Of
Tending part Of the placard read: Now
men Of all classes must not cover or abet
him, and those who secretly or by dark
means aid him to gain freedom are really
Of the same class and should be severely
dealt with according to law"
The Judge said that nothing expressed
IN the statute regarding contempt applied
to the case, but Attorneys Barnes and
McCloskey claimed that there was inher-
ent power in the judiciary to punish for
contempt although the particular act was
not incorporated in the statute, and the
Judge said ne would reserve his decision
on that point
The case of Woo Shuck was transferred
10 Poli Judge Fritz's court and the pre-
liminary hearing will commence this
morning.

FINDS O'KEEFE
LEFT s1,500,000
Attorney Hartridge Re
turns From Trip to
CarOlines.
Says King Of Yap's Estate
Is Very Valuable and
Productive.

W. c. Hartridge, who went to the Caro-
line Islands last May in the interests Of
Mrs. Catherine O'Keefe, widow Of David
D. O'Keefe. was among the passengers
arriving on the DOric last night. O'Keefe
was known as the King of zap He left
his wife and daughter in Savannah in the
early seventies and started for the
islands, but was wrecked on the island Of
zap.
He was the first white man the natives
had ever seen, and he impressed them to
such an extent that they treated him with
the greatest possible reverence and finally
called him King, by which title he was
known throughout his adopted home
O'Keefe rapidly built up a big fortune,
principally by trading in copra, and made
investments both in the island Of zap
and also in Hongkong
Early in May he visited the latter
place and started to return to his island
home on one Of his own sailing ships.
That was the last ever heard Of him.
Neither O'Keefe nor his vessel ever
turned up. In June, 1900, he sent his
wife in Savannah $500. which was the
final remittance she received from him.
although previously he had kept her we'll
supplied with funds.
This spring his widow decided 10 look
INTO ner interests ana Lawyer f1dTuluB6
went out there to see how matters stood
He found that o Keefe, during his resi-
dence in the Carolines, had taken unto
himself two native wives. the result of
these unions being eight children. Hart
ridge stated that OKeefe's estate
amounted to somewhere in the vicinity
Of H.5O0 900. the property all being pro-
ductive
O'Keefe had made will which was de-
posted in Hongkong. In IT he left quite
a large amount 10 his daughter, Mrs.
James F. Butler, in Savannah. but his
first wife was entirely ignored.
In the will George p. Lamnert was ap-
pointed executor, and at the present time
Charles Elvy formerly Of San Francisco,
is assisting in the management Of the va
ried interests.
According TO the German law a man
must be missing and unheard Of for a pc
riod of three years before he can be con-
sidered dead, and before his estate can be
administered upon. No settlement or di-
vision can, therefore, take place until
May 10. 1904. that date being three years
from the time O'Keefe was last seen
alive The Savannah widow expects to
claim 80 per cent Of the estate, and with
that object in view Hartridge will again
proceed to the islands early next year TO
protect his clients interests.

MANY IMPROVEMENTS
FOR YOSEMITE PARK
Commissioners Planning New Water
Supply and Telephone Service
for the Valley.


for the Valley.
The Yosemite Valley Commissioners held
a meeting yesterday afternoon. at which
there were a number OF women, headed
by Mrs. ]. c. Hutchinson. who submitted
a protest against what they termed the
indiscriminate cutting of the underbrush
and small trees in the valley. 1t was
explained 10 them by the members Of the
board that this work is being done under
the direction of experts in forestry for
the preservation of the larger trees
The guardian of the park was instructed
to make an investigation into the feasi-
bility of creating a new water supply
bv tapping a stream near Glacier Point.
The board also decided TO build bridge
across the Merced River near the Lick
house and 10 adopt a system for renam-
ins all the big trees.
The plan is to name them after States
and Territories and persons who have
gained national fame. AS the State
Board Of Examiners refused to audit GER
tain bills of the commission incurred for
the entertainment of the Presidential
party during its recent visit to the park,
the members of the commission voted TO
contribute pro rata toward the settlement
of the indebtedness. State Highway Com
missioner Ellery made a report to the
board relative to the oiling Of the park
roads and on MS suggestion IL was de-
cided to experiment with oil on two quar-
ter-mile sections of road in different parts
of the valley with a view of determining
whether it will pay to use oil on all the
rOadways.
AS the lease on the hotel in the valley
expires in few months. the Commission
ers decided to ask for bids for new
lease at a meeting to be held on October
15 All bidders will be required to be
present in person, as it is the desire of
the board to inquire of them just how
they purpose to serve the public. Plans
are under way for a new telephone sys-
tom in the mark
