CHICKERING WINS SUIT
FROM CECILE DOLON
Judge SeaweIl Finds That Oakland
Attorney Did Not Violate Agree
ment With the Woman.


Madame Cecile Dolons effort to OBJ
tain a life interest in the home she
has been occupying at 127 Olive avenue
from w. H. Chickering, the Oakland
attorney, has come to naught. Superior
Judge Seawell yesterday rendered a
written opinion in the case, with judg-
ment in favor of Chickering.
The suit was brought by Mrs. Dolon
to reform a deed dated September 8,
1894, by which she conveyed to Chick
ering certain property on Ellis street
and Olive avenue. She alleged that
for many years Chickering had been
her attorney and confidential adviser
and she became indebted to him in the
sum of $500. While so indebted it
was agreed between them. she said,
that she should convey TO him the
land; that he should pay mortgage
for $4,000 standing on the property
and pay her in cash $1,000 and that
there should be reserved in the deed a
life estate in a portion of the lot.
Chickering prepared the deed, which
contained no reservation to the plain
tiff of the life estate. Mrs. Dolon de-
clared she could not read and did not
know of the omission.
Mrs. Dolon's testimony was con-
tradicted by Chickering, who admit
ted, however. that he told her she
might occupy a part of the property
so long as he was owner of it.
The action was brought to reform
the deed by inserting the reservation.
The court holds that the testimony of
the plaintiff at the trial as well as the
letter given in evidence showed con-
clusively that she did not intend there
should be any express mention of the
life estate in the deed, but that she
trusted Chickering without any writ
ing to carry out their agreement.
Judge Seawell says further that Chick
ering paid the full value of the prop
erty.

APPLICATIONS MUST COME

The Board of Health yesterday sent
notices to the various medical COL
leges not to send cases to the Citv and

fact that the limit of patients has been

Of the appropriation to care for a
larger number. All applicants must

10 this the Washington Post re-
plies:
But Is not Judge Parker bound by
the timidities of the Albany plat

In 1892, make his own platform on
the great issues?. Is not that AL.
bany output. with all Its "timidities''
the platform approved by Judge Par.
kerr Such Is the universal under
standing, and that belief has been
carefully fostered by the promoters
of Judge Parker's candidacy. We
have, then, the assertion of the World
reducing IT. To a blunt matter Of
factthat Judge Parker Is destined to

itably add one more to the list OF
democratic defeats. The entire
scheme Of campaign Is based On the
EDITORIAL vote Of that state, and the
assumed probability that Judge Par
ker can secure 1t, New York Is
more than the Hamlet Of the drama.
But the national platform is yet TO
DO framed. II Ii not impossible that
David hi Hill and his candidate will
encounter at st. Louis In 1904, a
surprise as great as that which Mark
Hanna and william Mckinley exper-
fenced In that city in 1896. 1t Will
be recalled that the Ohio Republicans
straddled the great issue In their Nc.
Kinley keynote platform, and showed
protection t0 The front. II Will also
be recalled that The convention made
the currency the issue. thus repudi-
ating the Ohio straddle. but accepted
the Ohio nominee. There are many
chances that something like this will
happen when Hill and his associates
or the New York delegation appear ct
Sc. Louis with their candidate and
his and their platform. In that
event no reconstruction may he re.
auired at the hands of Judge Parker.
The World seems to forget that II
was not a state, but the national
platform, which Mr.. Cleveland III 1892
amended. And he did not address
himself TO the bracing up OF "timid.
ities,' for there were none there. What
Mr.. Cleveland did was to tone down
some OF the vehement boldness OF

ton. The truth il that the effect
