Ieging Property of the Estate
Was Hidden


Nine suits were fled in the Superior
Court yesterday by as many heirs of
the estate OF Hugh McDermott, who
died in San Mateo County on January
9, 1890. The action is brought against
James Mcguire. as administrator of
the estate of Bridget McDermott. and
demands the payment Of sums ranging
from $1,000 TO $4,000 to each of the
plaintiffs on the ground that they did
not get all thet was coming to them
under the provisions of Hugh McDer-
motifs will Bridget NcDermott was
the Administrative of her husbands
will and it is alleged that before she
died she secured a settlement and dis
tribution of the estate by false repre-
sentations to the San Mateo Superior
Court.
The heirs declare that she reported
to the court that McDermott's esta te
consisted OF 5000 in realty and six
teen promissory notes, secured by
mortgages worth s16,472 26. When
she obtained a decree Of final settle
ment she was awarded three-fourths
of the estate and given s2500 in trust
for a Iegatee, leaving $3.50 to be dis
tributed among the nine heirs, who
had been beoueathed sums ranging
from 500 to $4,000.
Now the heirs aIlege that McDer-
mott owned more property than ap-
peared in the reports and that it was
fraudulently withheld by the widow.
They profess not 10 know itsreal value.
but say it was something more than
$4,000 and after all expenses were
paid there was enough remaining to
pay all of the beqUests in full. Nj.

IN the distribution was $9542 and
he demands Sfoo and interest:
Thomas 2. McDermott got Ss5 40 and

DOCTOR Is QUESTIONED.

In reply to question as to the con-
nection between Christian Science and
the Vedant philosophy. as believed in
India, DR.. Scott replied that there is
a very apparent similarity between
them. in that both teach the funda-
mental doctrine that there is nothing
real in pain and that by mental
abstraction and Yogi practices there
may be entire exemption from all hu-
man ills.
A Yogi, explained DR.. Scott, is one
who seeks to entirely obliterate all his
faculties and senses by acts Of pen
ance. but both Christian Science and
Yogism, he said. are repugnant TO the
higher instincts of mankind.

part:
Hinduism Las detsriorated into the worship
OF many gods. and among these may be men-
tioned Ran and krishna- The latter was. born
in Muttre. a city situated on the Jun1na River
thirty miles above Agra
The modern form OF krtshna worship Is the
most corrupt form OF Hinduism. krishna-
himself had more than 1900 wives.
Many o. the modern priests are looked upon
as the incarnat!Ons OF Krishna and are Wor-
SHIPPED with licentious rites and the people,
through the teachings OF these priests, have
become corrupt in thought and practice
In view OF these facts, well known to any
who has lived in AUttra. IL seems SUI
prising that any one should endesvor to spread
abroad worthy Of being accepted the doc
