Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
Ills Broadway. April 12.

Ills Broadway, April IL.
John r. Havens of Berkeley, as spe-
cial administrator of his deceased
wife's estate, wants possession of her
fortune. and TO this end has filed a pc
tition with the courts to have James
NJ. Goewey, mis- brother-In-iaw, cited to
appear in court and show the condition
OF the estate of the deceased.
There. is a quarrel on between the
brothers of the late Gertrude Goewey
Havens and the surviving husband
over the estate of the deceased. and
Havens, in his petition to-day, states
that James NJ. Goewey, as secretary
Of the Goewey Estate Company, is
withholding large sums of money due
as dividends on stock belonging to the
late Mrs. Havens.
Shortly after her marriage to Hav-
ems Mrs. Havens made a will in
which she bequeathed to her four
brothers all of her interest in her
fathers estate, amounting to about
$40, 600. About a year ago Mrs. Havens
gave birth TO a son, and her death fol-
lowed shortly afterward. When upon
her deathbed Mrs. Havens made an
other viii revoking the first and leav-
ing everything of which she died pos
sessed to the child.
Both wills have been filed for pro-
bate. John Havens has filed the last
viii on behalf of the infant, while Mrs.
Havens' brothers have filed the first
one, and allege that their sister was
incompetent to make a will at the
time of her death.
In the meantime Havens has been
appointed special administrator Of the
estate pending the settlement of the
viii contest. He claims that all infor-
nation in regard to the estate is being
withheld from him by the brothers.

PREACHERS HAVE A SCRAP.

Texas Delegates tc Southern Baptist
Convention Engage in a Fight.
The opening session of the South
ern Baptist convention at: Nashville,
Tenn, Friday, was in a flutter OF ex-
citement over the report Of a sensa-
tional encounter between Rev. ]. B..
Cranfill and Rev. S. A. Hayden, of
Texas, On their way to the convention.
Both are among the delegates.
There has been bad blood between
them fer some years Mr.. Cranfill is
editor of The Texas Baptist Standard,
while Mr.. Hayden is editor Of the
Texas Herald. There has been quite
a struggle in Texas between those
who have stood by the work of the de-
nomination as conducted through The
boards of the convention.
Cranfill has been advocating the or
ganized work while Hayden was
against it.
The fight grew so warm that Hay
den, was refused A seat in the Texas
convention. He brought suit against
the committee, that reported against
him. He was awarded thirty thous Ind
dollars damages, but in another trial
this was cut down one-half. Two other
trials were granted. the last decision
practically throwing the case out OF
court.
The feeling between the leaders
and others has been very bitter. Gran
fill has said sonc bitter things in his
paper and Hayden has said things
equally as bitter. C1anfil has been
managing a natural oil company and
his alleged unbus.nesslike methods
have drawn much criticism upon him,
it is said.
At the time of the difficulty, both
preachers were i. the same sleeper,
and met in the lavoratcry.
Sharp words passed between them
and Cranfill took a pistol from his grip.
Hayden seized it and in the struggle
two shots were fred, neither dong
any damage.
When the train arrived at Texarkana
Cranfill was arrested and after a pre-
liminary trial was released on a bond
OF $1,000, and proceeded on his way

mortal service, however, will be held

a time, and his enemies alege that

The Missing Regret.

A very amusing and characteristic
story of the late Princess Mathilde is
going the rounds. The Princess was
dining at the home Of NJ. and Nine.
Ganderan with some Of her most de-
voted friends. At the hour set for din
ner one of the guests, Gerome, the
great painter, had not arrived. Ihey
waited a long time, and then suddenly
the Princess cried:
by the way, received a telegram
to-day from Gerome, who is in Cadiz,
asking me to give his apologies for not
being able to come tonight" :"
But, Princess" exclaimed Nine.
Ganderan, .'why did you not tell US
about it earlier"
.Why, my DEAR" returned the Prin-
cess. 81 am just beginning to feel hun

Why He JulnDed.

Speaking of the curious ezplana-
tions that, are made in courts Of JUS
tice. and The resourcefulness Of men
who are confronted by the rather un-,
pleasant prospect Of sentence OF
long or short duration, reminds ME OF
a rather novel case which came under
my observation some time ago. said
a man who frequents the courts Of this
city. ''and the particular case I have
in mind shows how desperately re-
sourceful a man may sometimes be.
The charge against him is of no par.
ticular moment The act he had COM
mitted was to plunge headlong into
Bayou ST.. John, that romantic stream
which winds a rather sluggish way.
into the lake in the lower part OF the
city. He was pulled out, and before
he could thoroughly realize what was
happening to him he was dripping
along a public highway with robust
policeman swinging on to his arm. He
was lodged in Jail and it became nec-
essary for him to make some sort OF
explanation to so on one OF the city
records. and this is where the funny
part of the business comes in. The
Recorder put the question to him blunt
": why did you jump into the bayou?
The fellow hesitated second or SO.
We'll, Judge he finally said, with
more confidence than you can imagine.

at the bottom of the bayou The ex-
planation was clever, and even orig.

to accept it, so he entered small fine

it will do something for the mental

JAPS LOSE A VESSEL.
While Engaged in Removing Mines,
Torpedo Boat is Blown up and
Seven of Crew Killed.

A special from Toxic says: The
Japanese torpedo boat No. So was de-
stroyed while removing mines from
Koir bay, north OF Taliewan, Port Dal-
ny, Thursday. Seven men were killed
and seven were wounded. This is
the first warship Japan has lost in
the war.
The torpedo boat was lost during
series of bombardments and survey
ing operations at Talien-Wan, Deep,
and Keer bays, by Admiral Kataoka,
commander of the third squadron.
Internal Troubles of Russia.
A secret report received from St.
Petersburg depicts the internal situa-
ton of Russia as becoming most Sc
rious as regards the preservation Of
the present institutions.
The military failures in the far east
having been strengthened the opinion
that the evils are due to the present
organization of the country in which
change is necessary.
The hope is expressed that the en-
peror himself seeing the danger will
be induced to grant the country con-
stitution, in which event, it is asserted,
the enthusiasm of the people will be-
come so great as to render it possible
to raise an army and collect the means
necessary to defeat japan.
Otherwise, the report says, it is be-
lieved all the efforts made at st. Pc
tersburg will remain futile, as besides
the war in the Far East, Russia will be
obliged to face latent if not an open
revolutionary movement at home, de-
priving her of the assistance OF the
most progressive elements OF the en-
pire, such as the Poles and Firms.

state department has received advices
from Minister Allen at Seoul to the
effect that a. considerable, body Of Co.'S

further states that IN the attack made
on Anju on the 10th and 18th seventy
Japanese soldiers protected by walls,

A Washington special say: Minis
ter Conger reports by cable to the
state department fro Pekin that the
Chinese government has reiterated its
determination of observing the strict
est neutrality, and has asserted it's
ability to do so.
In view of the leading part taken by
the United States government in Sc
curing the international pledge of the
naturalization of China, the state de-
partment has felt deep concern in the
reports Of agitation among the CHI
nese military forces near the seat OF
war and the danger of their violating
neutrality, thus releasing the powers
from the engagement into which they
entered.

ment closely advised of the situation
