Miss Wilcoxen had been caring for
Miss Dolbeer for ten days prior to April
% THE testatriX was taking the rest
cure in preparation for her trip TO Eu-
rope and TO recover from the fatigue
an active social season had induced.
Her health was so good, however. that
Miss WilcoXen suggested number OF
times that there was no need or en-
ploying a nurse. But Miss Dolbeer said
she liked to have the witness about her
for company and wished to retain her
the few days remaining before her de-
parture for Europe.
While Miss Dolbeer was taking the
rest cure her appetite indicated no III
health. She had eggs and either ham
or bacon for breakfast. Soup, chops
vegetables and other comDonents OF a
hearty lunch were eaten daily. For din
ner Miss Dolbeer would have such va
riety as soup, oysters, bird or roast
beef
Miss Wilcoxen said that Miss DolbeeI
slept very well every night, though she
admitted that the usual light sleeping
potion given to persons taking the rest
cure was administered. She denieo
positively the allegation of contestant
that the testatrix was constantly leo
with trianol to produce sleep. Accord
ing to the witness Miss Dolbeer was
happy in anticipation of the trip TO Eu-
rope and much pleased when it was
definitely arranged that she could go.

County. England. of Mrs. Josephine
Vachell, wife of Guy Courtenay
Vachell and youngest daughter of the
late c. H. Phillips, who was one of
the most prominent business men of

The news of Mrs. Vachells death
came as a great shock to her relatives
and friends here. for it was only a
short time ago that she left California
in the best of health, looking forward
to a happy tour of Europe. The dis
patch gave no details as to the nature
of her last illness.
Mrs. Vachell was we'll known. both
here and in San Jose, where she had
large circle of friends She was a
young woman of rare accomplish
ments and lovable disposition and
will be sadly missed. She is survived
by her mother. two sisters, Mrs. r. w.

Cannadv Released on Wrtt.

An application for writ of habeas
corpus for the release of w. A. Can
nady was made by Attorneys McClel-
Ian & Mcclellan before Judge Cook
yesterday and was made returnable
forthwith. Cannady was arrested on
Monday night without a warrant, but
a telegraphic warrant was received by
the police from San Jose just before
the case came up for hearing. Can
nady was charged with publishing
false statements regarding the pecu-
MARY condition of a corporation, and
his attorneys contended that no such
crime could be found in, the Penal
Code and that therefore no public Of
fense was charged. The Judge agreed
with them and ordered the writ grant
eG and the defendant discharged Can
nady is manager and secretary of the
Fresno Diamond Company.

SCANDAL DRAWS
TOW Ard CLOSE

Though the Police Commission met
yesterday afternoon to proceed with
the investigation of the charges of cor
ruption in Chinatown it found more of
interest in the petition of Martin Gre
sElia that he be allowed to drape the
doorways of boxes in his restaurant
at 10 Third street with curtains than
in the police investigation. This petit
tion occasioned an animated discussion
between Chief Whitman and the mem,
bers of the board.
Commissioner Hutton did not see
why the petition should pe denied in
view of the fact that many of the
larger cafes enjoy the privilege, but he
said he was in favor of having the
doorways of the booths in every res
taurant in town removed. He said
they offered opportunity for women and
even children TO drink. Chief Witt
man said all he wanted to know was
the pleasure of the board in reference
to the curtains and he would see any
order that might be issued would be
carried out. The question went over
to the next meeting of the board.
The Chinatown scandal was then
taken up. but nothing was accom-
plished. Attorney Jacob S. Meyer said
District Attorney to sstipulate as to the
disposition Of the contents of the safe
taken from the place of Chin Kun You
at 800 Washington street and that in
consequence the search warrant pro-
ceedings must be prosecuted to a con-
clusion. He said that should he re-
cover possession of the safes he would
open them in the presence of the police
and give them all of the documents
they contain.
Commissioner Drinkhouse next made
plain his position toward the gamblers
of Chinatown by reciting an incident
that occurred in January. He said he
was taking party through Chinatown
and upon entering a brightly lighted
place found that it was a gambling
resort and that fantan was running
He forthwith reported the matter to
Sergeant Christensen, who told him
that he (Christiansen) had tried to en-
ter the place earlier in the evening but
had been unable to do so. Drinkhouse
then reported his discovery to Chief of
Police Whitman and the Chief put a
stop to the gambling.
After Commissioner Drinkhouse had
concluded his story the case was con-
tinued until next Tuesday night, when
eny further evidence that may be dis
covered in the meantime will be con-
sidered.

Town Tall.

The Saunterer tells of the revivification
of Has-beens at the Martin ball, of the
discovery Of Maxine Elliott by society
and of the disappointment of a distin-
guished Britisher who made desperate
love to local belle. He also tells of a
titled foreigner who is here ostensibly
to avoid mana ging mammaS at home.
and among his many exclusive items of
interest is the story of the marriage of
a matinee idol to San Francisco girl.
He also tips the winner of the Speaker
ship contest. gives great deal of exclu-
sive political news, and tells how the
Chinatown sack is distributed. The lit
erary features this week are of the usual
high standard. The story by Robert
Mace seems to have been inspired by the
Dolbeer will contest. and contains a Sug
gestion of considerable value. That eX-
quisite stylist, Harry Cowell, discusses
the universal vice, vulgarity.

PROMINENT CITIZEN AND FOR
MER AUDITOR OF SAN FRAN

Asa r. Wells, for half a century a
citizen of San Francisco. prominent in
public life and successful in private en-
deavor, died yesterday morning at his
home, 1406 Jackson street. Burdened
by years, he failed in health a twelve
month ago and, though the immediate
cause of death is given by his physician
as heart failure, it was times inroads
that had taken from his once strong
He was 70 years of age when the sum-
mons came. He leaves a widow and
three sons and two daughters. all of
whom live in this city.
The late Mr. Wells came to San Fran
cisco in the early fifties from Saratoga,
n. Y. He engaged largel in ship
ping, but gave some of his time to the
lumber business. Though he met with
some financial reverses it is said that
he amassed a fortune, which he invest
ed in San Francisco realty. A few
years ago he retired from business life,
though every campaign found him ac-
tive on behalf of his party-the Repub-
lican.
He was elected Auditor of the city,
which office he filled with credit, and in
1901 he was nominated for Mayor, but
met defeat after an energetic cam
paign, conditions at the time being un-
favorable to his candidacy. In that
campaign he led his Democratic COM
petitor by large majority.

her as perfectly sane.
GREENWOOD'S DEPARTURE.
Attorney Hiram Johnson moved to
strike out the deposition of Fred A.
( Greenwood, read the day before, on the
: ground that the deponent had been in
; the city and available till Monday last,
when he started for the East. When his
deposition was taken several weeks ago
he made the statement under oath that
he was then about to leave the State,
and Johnson objected to the alleged
sharp work. Judge Coffey held, how
ever, that the deposition should stand,
/ inasmuch as deponent was now beyond
/ the confines Of California.
William G. Mugan, one of the ea-
ecutors named by Miss Dolbeer, was
next called. He corroborated much of
the important evidence produced and
then told of the efforts of Mrs Eliza
beth c. Phillips, the principal witness
for the contestant, to induce the pay
ment to her Of bonus Of $4,000, to be
added to her legacy of $4,000. She had
threatened to break the will if Miss
Warren did not disgerge.' The wit
ness related the details of the inter-
view with her and his part in it, in
which he told Mrs Phillips that she
was merely engaging in a blackmailing
scheme. The witness was being taken
over the hurdles in cross-examination
by Hiram Johnson when court ad-
