shows that the fair plaintiff desires to
have the remains of her father Gre

of his wife in the columbarium at the

1t appears from the complaint that in
October, 1908, his daughter and wife
were too i'll to arrange for the funeral.
T41e brothers of the deceased attended
to the matter for them and the remains
were inferred in Cypress Lawn. in
which place a lot was purchased out of
the funds of Washburn's estate. Last
month Mrs Washburn died. requesting
shortly before her death that her re-

Mrs. Higgins to have the remains of

hers in the Odd Fellows columbarium.

wishes of her mother. says Mrs. Hig-

Newspaper
Man Leaves for
Seat of War.

Paul Cowles, superintendent Of the
Western division of the Associated
Press. who sailed for the Orient on the
China yesterday as war correspond
ent, is a newspaper man with a wide
experience.
Cowies is 81 years Of age and has
been in the newspaper business all his
life He was born in Chicago and
Worked for a time on the Tribune of
that city. Of which his father was
dramatic critic for number Of years.
When he had reached the age of 81
he came to San Francisco and became
q reporter on the morning dailies.
Cowles spent the early part of his
newspaper career in this city, working
at intervals on the dailies and for the
Associated Press. He established a
paper in Santa Barbara and ran it
with success for some time, when he
sold out to get back into city news
paper life.
Again entering the service of the
Associated Press, Cowles rose rapidly,
having a keen news discernment, and
occupied the position of night man
ager from 1890 until 1897, when he
was appointed superintendent of the
entire Western division, including
Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands. The
work Of supplying the world with the
news OF the West was ably handled by
Cowles.
Cowles was sent to Honolulu dur
ing the rebellion against Queen Liliuo-
kalani. and faithfully and cleverly exc
cuted the duty devOlving upon him,
supplying the world with the full de-
tails OF the trouble there.
At the outbreak of the Russian-Jap-
anese war the Associated Press de-
cided TO enlarge its news system and
establish a bureau IN Toxic, Japan.

manage the Office there Cowles' worth
was recognized and he was tempor-
arily taken from his San Francisco Of

District Attorney could elect what
course to take The defendants bail
would remain the same.
District Attorney Byington said later
that he would take an appeal to the
Supreme Court, as he was satisfied the
decision in the case of Carolan was
sound. 1t was a parallel case, whereas
the other cases referred to by the
Judge were not. The fraudulent claim
in the Mahony case was for 800 for

MAHONY GAINS
FIRST POINT
Judge Cook SustainS the
Demurrer to Indictment
Against Ex-COunty Clerk
APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN
Court Decides That Pleading
Was Insufficient, as 1t Did
Not Give the Particulars

The demurrer to the indictment of
the Grand Jury charging Albert B.
Mahony,, ex-COunty Clerk. with pre-
senting a false and fraudulent claim
for allowance to Auditor Baehr was
sustained by Judge Cook yesterday, but
it was left optional to the District At
torney to take an appeal to the Su-
preme Court or to resubmit the case
to the Grand Jury.
When the case was called the Judge
said he thought he had been misin-
formed as to a similar case having
been decided in the State of Washing
ten, but he had seen nothing to alter
the opinion expressed by him last week
that the pleading was insufficient ac-
cording to a decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the case of
Hess and in two cases decided by the
Supreme Court of this State in bank.
NO DIRECT ALLEGATION.
The indictment merely charged the
defendant with the intent to defraud
the city and county of San Francisco
in that the defendant did present for
allowance to the Auditor a certain false
anu Cldliil III dhON eaAiNCs -
was merely by implication that the al
legation was made that the claim was
false. There was no direct allegation
and the indictment just followed the
exact language of the statute. 1t is
an elementary principle in law that
pleading must descend to particulars
and where the presentation of a fraud
ulent claim is charged in an indict-
ment it must state wherein the claim
is fraudulent.
District. Attorney ByingtOn said he
had followed the course laid down in
the case of the people against Carolan.

cislon." replied the Judge. In the
