bonds Of union between America and
France.

frmed': ITO perpetuate, therefore, as We'll

Mine PROMOTER
SUES BROTHER
w. E.. and Marie Patrick Want
to Recover 100000 From
L. L. Patrick of Nevada
TROUBLE OVER CLAIMS
Tonopah Capitalist Denies
Suit Was Filed and De-
clines. to Discuss Matter

The complaint in what promises to
be one of the most sensational suits
or its kind tried here in many a day
was fled in the County Clerks Office
yesterday by w. +. and Marie Patrick
against L. L. Patrick brother of the
flrst-named plaintiff The suit is
brought to recover 100000, and many
startling details regarding big min
ing claims at Tonopah and Goldfield
will be aired when the hearing comes
up.
The Patricks came to this city sew
eral weeks ago and registered at the
Palace. AT that time there were stories
of trouble between the brothers, whose
rich mining claims in Nevada made
both men famous there. No one SEEM
ed to be able to get at the bottom of
the impending trouble, and nothing was
done in the matter until w. F. Patrick
and Marie Patrick filed the suit yes
terday
L. L. Patrick left the Palace and
went to Tonopah few days ago.
Since that time w. F. Patrick and
Attorney George C. Collins have had
many heart-to-heart talks and the
stories of trouble between the mining
men were verified yesterday, when
Collins filed the suit for $1O0, 900.
NO DETAILS IN COMPLAINT.
The complaint is very brief one
and does not go into details regarding
the case. 1t is understood that the
whole trouble arises over financial
transactions the two mining men have
had. They managed to keep their own
counsel, and so the inside of the story
did rot reach the ears of the public.
The suit has been threatening for
some time, and it is understood COM
promise was proposed by L. L. Patrick
before he left for Nevada. His brother
would not listen to any plans for a
settlement, and when l.. L. Patrick
went away without being able to ar
range matters the long-threatened
suit was the result
Attorney Collins refuses to divulge
the inside of the suit. "It is going to
be one of the most sensational of it's
kind we have had here for a long
time" he said. but 1 am not in a po-
sition to give out the details. We
have carefully considered the case and
think our chances of winning it are
very bright
STRANGE DENIALS MADE.
In spite of the fact that the suit was
filed in his name, w. r. Patrick denies
emphaticallv that he is in any way
connected with it. He adds he gave
no attorney any authority to file the
suit, and says it must be some other
Patrick
Il know nothing about a slIit," said
Patrick at the Palace Hotel last night
"A fellow threatened to sue me over
a little matter some days ago. but so
far he has not kept his promise
But" Patrick was asked, lis it not
true that a suit was filed in your name
! by Attorney Collins yesterday?'
II know nothing about it," was the
reply.
But Collins could not very we'll
admit that such suit was filed if the
facts were not true?'
Il know nothing about that, and /
do not want TO talk about it." was
Patrick's reply.

ing OF Nay 8.
1t promises to be an imposing sight
and no doubt in the carrying out Of
the idea of the piece il will appear so
realistic that there will be many pres
ent who will be reminded of the scenes
which were described in the papers
each day of the late Philippine war,
but never have they had an opportu-
nifty of seeing such a vivid panorama
os these scenes as will be theirs to
view on the night of the production.
he full festival chorus of 1000
voices will also take part, as well as

HOLLAND SENDS
REPLY TO CLUB
Head of United Railroads
Avoids Question Asked
by Sutter Street People
WANT ANSWER AT ONCE
Citizens Will. Meet Shortly
for the Purpose of Act
ing OH the Communication

The members of the Sutter-street
Improvement Club will hold a meeting
next Wednesday night to again talk
over the question of compelling the
United Railroads to install an under
ground electric system to take the
place of the present Suffer street cable.
The members of the club are anxious
that some action be taken without de-
lay. A communication was sent to the
president of the United Railroads some
time ago by the club and the following
reply has been received:
Hon. Frank J. Sullivan. President sutter-
street Improvement Club. 12s Pheian Building.
of March 20, 1905, the body Of which we beg
to quote in full follows:

quests your company to give positive answer

system into an electric conduit system An An
oblige."
We assume that by the expression. present
cable SYSTEM you mean the Sutter-street
system Of cable roads, though just what
question 1t is you desire answered is not
so clear. We do not recall any communication
than such as were orally made on the occasion
Of two visits from representatives of your club
TO this company.
your directors namely. DR.. Rosenstirn. Dr.
Merritt. Mr. Hazell and Mr.. Sawyer. These
eral manager and the general counsel of this
company and the matter OF the proposed re-
construction Of the Sutter-street cable system
was gone over at considerable length This
was about January II. 1905. Shortly there
after you did Us the honor to call on our gen
eral counsel, accompanied by your secretary,
and the matter was gone over again and the
oompanys attitude carefully explained
In addition to the foregoing the company
issued public statement, which was published
IN The Cali. the Chronicle. the Examiner and
the Bulletin Of Sunday, january 20. 1905.
We scarcely know what can. be added to the
foregoing except to repeat that whether cable
or overhead electric shall be finally adopted as
the mode of reconstruction. the work will be
as good skill and money can produce and
the service the best obtainable. Respectfully,
