LARGE AMOUNT
State Directs Lawyers to Sue
Treasurer to Obtain Money
From Escheated Estates
TWO THOUSAND CASES
Attorney General Designates
lIen: Who Are to Serve as
commemorative Counsel

state Attorney General L. S. Webb
has recently appointed c. H. Garoute,
has recently appointed c. H. Garoutte,
\. Goodwin Of the law firm Of Ga
ROUTE 6, Goodwin and Robert D. Duke
counsel foT the State TO bring suits in
O the Superior Courts against the State
Treasurer for the purpose Of obtain
ing money known as the escheat tund,
now in the custody of the Comptrol-
Ter.
The attorneys will start to work at
once. as there is a great deal 10 be
done 10 clear the States books sep
srate suits for each amount must be
brought. There are nearly zOOO es-
rates whose money lies IN the State
treasury and the amounts range from
20 cents no 70 $4,000.
Since the admission Of California
into the Union there has been accu-
mulating in the State treasury an
amount Of money approXimated at
100000. This money is made up OF
sums that have escheated TO the state
owing 10 the failure Of heirs TO claim
their due and has been paid into the
treasury by order of the Probate
courts in the different counties Of the
State.
BY a ruling of the Supreme Court
IL was decided that no money had es-
cheated TO the State through the de-
cisions Of the Probate Courts and that
the State would have to sue the
Treasurer to obtain possession Of the
money, This ruling was made by the
Supreme Court in the case of James
Minor VS.. the State. The case, con-
Quoted By John T. Houx, consumed
three years in reaching a decision and
decided a legal question that had
never before been considered. This
was that the mere declaration by the
Probate Court that there are no heirs
10 an estate did not constitute judg-
ment Of escheat TO the State and that
such judgment must be obtained on
behalf of the estate by the Attorney
General.
This decision given by the Supreme
Court also held that such money, af-
ter being awarded 10 the State as a
result Of the suit. was still subject to
the right Of resident citizen heirs to
claim the money before the expiration
OF twenty years from the time it es-
cheated 10 the State. There is some
division Of legal opinion as to the
rights Of foreign heirs. Some lawyers
maintain that they are limited to five
years in which 10 file claims upon es-
cheated estates: others say the for
eign heirs are allowed the full twenty
years under the decision.
Another feature of the escheat fund
case is the fact that a few years ago
the State. by special act of the Legis-
lsture, borrowed $50. 900 from the es-
cheat fund TO apply TO the school
fund. This money has never been re-
turned and the State has probably
used the money. No difficulty is ex-
pected. however, as il is not likely
that many Of the heirs to the escheat-
ed estates viii ever demand their in
heritance-

BETTER QUARTERS NEEDED.

The immigrants for whom better ac-
commodations are needed are princi-
pally the Chinese and improvement is
the more urgent because of the long
time they must frequently be held
pending examination under the exclu-
sion law. In some cases several months
elapse before a decision is rendered
as TO the claims to entry and during
this time the petitioner must remain
in the quarters that have been con-
structed at the Pacific Mail dock I'm
der the rafters. The place is frequent
ly overcrowded and, while every pre-
caution is taken for health and the best
care given that is possible, the condi-
tions are not what they should be and
legislation for the erection of COM
modious building and provision for ac-
commodations such as obtain on Ellis
Island in New York is expected from
Congress.
often Commissioner North has been
compelled to seek the aid of the Chris
tan missions in Chinatown for the care
of the women immigrants. While there
is a separate department for them in
the shed at the dock it is not a desir-
able place for detention for any length
of time.

MEICALF VISITS
ANGEL ISLAND
He Will Report to Congress
Whether 1t Will Make
Good Immigrant Station
INSPECTS SHED AT DOCK
Orders Landing of Chinese
That Had Been Detained
by Commissioner North

Victor H. Metcalf, Secretary of Com
merce and Labor, made investigation
of the need of an immigrant station
for this port and Inspected a proposed
site for the building on Angel Island
yesterday. The Cabinet representative
was acting in accordance with a resolu-
ton passed by Congress at its last ses-
sion directing him 10 ascertain what is
required for a station in San Francisco
and how much it will cost.
The accommodations for caring for
immigrants on their arrival pending
examination and for those who are
detained longer are very meager, crude
detention sheds" being the most the
port can boast of, and Congress wished
to gain some information as 10 the con-
ditions with a view to making an ap-
preparation for providing proper quar-
ters.
Incidentally during his visit to the
detention shed at the Pacific Mail dock,
where 100 Chinese are confined, the
Secretary gave a severe rebuke to
Commissioner of immigration Hart H.
North, who was one of the party &C
companying him. Metcalf found among
the imprisoned crowd Fong Kao and
Yen Fook Yeong with regular certifi
Gates, as required by section 6, certify
ing that they were merchants on the
way to the ST. Louis fair. Fong had
sold his business in Canton for $500
and North and his assistant, Charles
Mehan, had denied him landing be-
cause they held he could no longer be
regarded as a merchant. Yen had also
sold out and was denied entry.
STERN REBUKE FOR NORTH.
When Secretary Metcalf saw the
papers in the case he ordered them
landed forthwith. The proceeding took
place in the presence of the entire
party and while not a word of COM
ment was spoken the situation was
painful to North until attention was
diverted to other matters.
Others accompanying the Secretary
on his trip to the dock and to Angel
Island were Collector of the Port F. S.
Stratton, Deputy Collector w. B. Ham
ilton. Major Devoll, j. A. Folger,
Thomas Richard, R. P. Schwerin, H.
H. Schell and Walter ]. Matthews. The
party was conveyed in the tug Golden
Gate and almost the entire day was
consumed in the important work of the
Secretary.
Matthews is an architect of Oakland
and his advice was sought by Secretary
Metcalf as to the most favorable site
for the immigrant station on Angel Is
land The architect will assist in max
ing estimates Of the cost of building
the quarters. The report is to be ready
in time for presentation at the coming
