TRY TO HIDE
THE WITNESS
District Attorney Will In
vestigate Thoroughly the
Case of William Kriske

Paul Loudick, alias Paul Rudeck,
lor's court yesterday afternoon on a
charge of assault to murder. He was
ordered to appear for sentence on Sat
urday. He stabbed William Kriske in
the abdomen in saloon on Broadway,
near Hinckley alley, on the night of
March g.
There are some peculiar features
connected with the case which the Dis
trict Attorney will investigate. Kriske
was held up by Loudick in Berkeley
last October Loudick was arrested,
but influence was brought to bear upon
Kriske and he disappeared. AS a re-
suit, the charge against Loudick was
dismissed. 1t was owing to Kriske
having Loudick arrested that Loudick
stabbed him last March.
Kriske's mother lives at 3539 Ellis
worth street, Berkeley, and owns some
property. Her daughter and son-in-
law, named Hager, live with her. On
Monday. August 1, Kriske, who is not
in favor with his mother, called to see
her. He rang the door bell and Hager
opened an upper window and asked
him what he wanted He replied that
he wanted to see his mother and Ha-
ger said she was not at home. Kriske
said he knew she was at home and he
wrote note TO her which he showed
under the door. He again rang the
bell and sat on the front steps, deter
mined to see his mother. Hager went
| for Constable Howard and Kriske was
arrested for disturbing the peace.
The case was heard before Justice
of the Peace Quinn and Kriske was
/ convicted and sentenced to serve sixty
days in the County Jail. Detective
/ Silvey, who had charge of the case
against Loudick, could not find Kriske
/ to subpoena him as a witness at the
I trial and after investigation discovered
that he was in Jail. He laid the facts
before Captain Martin and, acting on
the captains instructions, Silvey went
to the Oakland prison on Monday night
and brought Kriske to the city prison
here. Kriske testified yesterday.
Detective Silvey says that Mrs
Kriske is applying for a divorce from
her husband and that the lawyer who
| represents her told him he had per-
sonally seen Justice Quinn before the
trial Of Kriske and had urged that the
young man get the limit. Silvey says
it looks to him as if there had been q
conspiracy to keep Kriske from testify
ing against Loudick. When the Dis
trict Attorney was informed of the
facts yesterday he said he would make
a thorough investigation.

voIve in elliptic orbits around their

part, these revolutions are completed

observations Of the speeds of the

Very considerable difficulties were
encountered by Professor Wright in
the erection of the observatory. He
arrived in Chile just a few days be-
fore the outbreak of very serious labor
troubles and, for reasons which could
not be avoided, just at the beginning
of the local rainv season. Skilled Ia
Dor was not available for the erection
of the steel dome and the massive tel
escope, and Messrs. Wright and Pal
mer were obliged to depend very large
ly upon their own efforts and the few
common laborers which could be Sc
cured
1t is a pleasure to say that the af-
fairs of the expedition have been ably
managed BIZ the astronomer in charge
and that the Government officials and
scientific men of Chile have been con-
stant in their efforts to promote its
plans.

DAUGHTERS FILE
WILL CONTEST
Yoell's Bequests Are Not
Satisfactory to Three Chill
dren of His First Wife

Three children of ]. Alexander Yoell's
first wife have filed a contest against
his will, which left the bulk of his
100000 estate to his daughter, Mrs
Evaline A. Levy. The contestants are
Gertrude Ellen Yoell, Beatrice Ethel
Yoell and Mrs. Emily F. Dunn. Their
attorney is John H. Yoell.
Yoell was Santa Clara County pio-
neer. He died last month at Highland
Springs. He had married twice and
upon separating from his second wife,
Emily, he decided half of his estate to
her. In his will he said that Mrs.
Levy, a daughter by the first wife, had
given him more attention and comfort
than all his other children put to-
gether.
Yoell was the father of two families
Of children, who numbered ten in all.
After giving his last wife. half of his
property he considered that she would
be able to provide for her own chill
dren. For that reason he left nothing
to Mrs. Dunn nor to John H. Yoell,
who is attorney for the contestants. In
the case of John, the father said that
his son had received money greatly in
excess of what he might expect from
the estate. The daughters Gertrude
and Beatrice each received bequests of
$4,000, but with this they are not salts
fled and state in their contest that at
the time of making his will, which was
dated January 81, 1904, their father
was not of sound mind and not COM
petent to execute a will.

LICK OBSERVATORY, Aug. S.-The
accompanying illustrations are from
photographs of the observing station of
the D. o. Mills expedition from the
Lick Observatory to the southern hem
isphere The thirty-foot steel dome
contains the thirty-six- and -one-half-
inch rejecting telescope, to which is
attached a powerful spectroscope. The
purpose of the expedition, which Mr..
Mills has generously financed, is to de-
termine, by means of the spectroscope,
the motions of the naked-eye stars in
the one-fourth of the sky surrounding
the south pole of the heavens, which is
invisible from Mount Hamilton.
A determination Of the motion of the
stars in the northern three-fourths of
the sky has been in progress at Mount
Hamilton continuously since 1896 by
means of a large spectroscope attached
to the thirty-siX-inc equatorial. The
problem which it is proposed to solve
by means of these observations is that
of the motion of our solar system
through space, its direction and speed.
The Mount Hamilton observations
already secured have enabled us to
make an approximate solution of the
problem, but perfectly satisfactory re-
suits cannot be obtained until observa-
tions have been made for the brighter
stars distributed over the entire sky.
1t is expected THAT the Mills expedition
to the southern hemisphere will have
secured the necessary observations at
the end of the year 1905
EXPEDITION.
The observing station is situated on
the summit of Mount San Cristobal, a
mountain 1000 feet high, lying in the
northeastern suburbs Of the city OF
Santiago, Chile. The plain on which
the city is built is 1900 feet above the
sea level. The altitude of the observa-
tory is, therefore, 280o feet.
This expedition, in charge of Astron-
omer William H. Wright, assisted by
DR.. H. K. Palmer, sailed from Sar
Francisco in February, 1903 The OBJ
servatory instruments and buildings
together with an electric power line
running from the valley to the sum
nit, were installed in October, 1903
The scientific work Of the expedition
has been vigorously prosecuted since
that date.
The great reflector and the spectre
scope have the efficiency which was
originally planned for them and re-
suits of great Importance have beer
secured very rapidly. Up to June 1
1904, more than 300 photographs of stel
lar spectra have been obtained anc
many of them have been measured anC
reduced The first consignment O.
photographs from Chile was received
at Mount Hamilton a few weeks ago
1t is planned to have them measured
in the near future.
NEW STARS.
AS by-products of these investiga
tions, Professor Wright has alread,
detected a number of spectroscopi
binary stars and other facts of especia
interest. The binary stars referred t.
are those which appear to be singh
stars even when viewed through tn
most powerful telescopes. but the spec
troscopic observations of their motion
prove that they are attended by mas
sive invisible companions.
The invisible companions are larg
enough to compel the brighter com
ponents of the systems to revolye in ell

MONEY is LYING IDLE
BY Laura Bride Powers.

The California Historic Landmarks
League is preparing to issue circular
letters to it's friends for sufficient funds I!
to complete the restoration of the beau /
tiful old Mission of San Antonio de
Padua in Monterey County, whose an
cient walls are now completely rebuilt,
although naught but the blue sky
stetches above them-naught save a lit
tie patch of shakes laid last fall before
work was suspended.
1t had been secretly hoped by many
of the lovers of the old Missions-both in
and out of the Landmarks League
that the appeal for funds could be
avoided, conscious that $1,000 of the
landmarks fund raised in May of 1908
by the Examiner remains unexpended
in the safe. And as there is no proba-
bility of any further purchases of his
toriC buildings in Monterey, principally
because there are no more worth pur-
chasing and perpetuating at public ex
pense, it was hoped that the money
lying idle in the Examiners safe could
be obtained for the important work of
restoration being carried on at Mission
San Antonio-of which, by the way, the
league holds ten-year lease, with the
promise of renewal at it's expiration.
HOPES BADLY JARRED.
But unhappily the hopes of the opti-
mists received a hard jolt when it was
announced a few days ago by Dent
Robert, managing editor of the Exam
iner, that such disposition of the idle
landmarks fund does not meet the ap-
proval of William Randolph Hearst
and that settles it.
Now. this announcement has given
something of shock to the Cheerful
Workers, for they we'll remember the
circumstances under which the land
marks fund was raised. And it all
happened thus:
The Landmarks League, organized
in June, 1902, had begun an active cam
paign that the historic structures of the
State be not permitted to fall to decay.
and although twenty years too late to
save some of the lesser old missions
the oldest structures in all the West
the work prospered, principally
through the generosity of the Native
Sons of the Golden West, who presented
to the league a lump sum of $11O0.
Then came the Examiner into the
field with the patriotic purpose of do
to do. Promptly and gratefully the
officers of the league accepted the help
offered by the Examiner and there was
not a member of the board of direct
ors that didn't work overtime and
Sundays" to help build up that fund
even to contributing $1,000 cleaned at
the school children's festival at the
Chutes in May.
Some days previous to this affair Mr..
Robert conferred with the officers of
the league and requested that an ad-
visory committee be formed from
among us, whose business it would be
to designate from a long list which
buildings and sites should be pur-
chased. Some of the buildings on this
list, by the way, were of such fic-

mercially-as to preclude serious con-
