FRAUD CHARGE
DOES NOT HOLD
Judge Hebbard Rules Upon
Interesting Case Wherein
Warning Heirs Gain Point
CONTRACT rs VALID
Mrs. Boggs' Promise to Di-
vide Estate to Avoid Con-
test Must Be Fulfilled

Judge Hebbard, In a written opinion
denying defendants motion for judg-
ment on the pleadings, disposed yester-
day of the important phases of the suit
Of Mildred Wellendorff and others
against Mae H. B. Boggs and others.
w. L. Smith. owner of landed and
other interests in Siskiyou and Shasta
counties. died in May. 1902. His will,
executed ten years before, made Mrs.
Boggs, a niece. the sole legatee, al
though he then had two sisters living.
Five nephews and nieces, heirs at law.
considered that they had good grounds
for contest and, it was alleged, to in
duce them to refrain from opposing the
will, Mrs. Boggs drew written agree
ment to give each of the five a one
tenth interest in the estate.
This agreement was signed by all the
parties excepting W. A. Bacon, one Of
the nephews. Mrs. Boggs neglected to
obtain his signature but proceeded to
get a distribution of the estate to her
self. Since then she has declined to
divide with her relatives. Mildred We'll
lendorff, now dead, Andrew J. Bacon
and lone Spencer sued for their shares
under the agreement. Mrs. Boggs
pleaded the statute of frauds. saying
that the nephews an nieces knew Of
the existence of the two sisters, who, as
heirs at law, would each be entitled
to a fourth of the estate, leaving only
one-twentieth for each Of the remain
ing nephews and nieces; and that in
view of the knowledge their agreement
was conspiracy to withhold testimony
and defraud the sisters, who. living
outside the State. were not acquainted
with California laws.
Judge Hebbard holds that the plain
tiffs performed their part Of the con-
tract by not contesting the will and
the statute of frauds cannot be pleaded
against them. He also says that the
decree of distribution is not conclusive
as to contests between the heirs and the
assignees and the performance by the
plaintiffs of their part of the contract
prevents Mrs. Boggs from retaining
either the personal or real property of
the estate. The court also granted a
motion to compel Mrs. Boggs to answer
certain questions on deposition.

More Light Thrown
on the Career
Of HOCh.
New Tale Of Poisoning Told
Concerning Death Of
One Spouse.
Three Others Known to Have Lived
but Short Time After His
Marriage to Them
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2s.-"I am being
poisoned" a
One of the many wives of Johann
Hoch is alleged to have made this
statement on her deathbed. The in
formation was furnished Inspector
Shippy to-day by Mrs William Stein
brecher, the daughter-in-law OF Mrs.
Mary Steinbrecher-Hoch She furnished
the police with considerable informa-
tion in the Hoch case and also identi-
fed photograph which was found to-
day in the rogues' gallery, together
with evidence that the now much
wanted man had served one year in
Jail and one year in the Bridewell for
disposing of mortgaged property.
MY mother-in-law married Hoch in
August, 1894, and two months later she
died mysteriously after one short
weeks sickness said Mrs. Stein
brecher. THE day before she died she
told me that she was being poisoned.
Shortly after her marriage my mother
in-law made Hoch her sole heir and
he got all her property, amounting to
about $4,000. Nothing was ever done
about investigating her death as the
physicians issued a certificate to the
effect that her death was due to nat
ural causes"
Inspector Shippy was flooded with
information concerning the alleged
marrying and swindling mania Of Hoch
to-day and in speaking Of the case he
said:
'I now know of twelve living wives
of this man and at least four who
have died. I have enough evidence
against him to send him to the PEN
itentiary for the balance of his life.
1 also have information Of three or
four suspicious deaths.
From one of the women to whom
have talked" he continued, IT have
learned that Hoch was once a drug
gist, and 1t Is my opinion he employed
some chemical process or slow poison
ing In his work. such as might puzzle
the most expert physician. From the
stomach or intestines of Mrs. Hoch.
his latest victim, whose body was ex-
humed at Oakwoods on Saturday, there
may still develop evidence Of poison"

BRIBERY FUND
IN PORTLAND
Liquor Dealers Raise Money
With Which to Purchase
the Legislature of Oregon
Special Dispatch to Tn. CALI

PORTLAND, Jan. 23.-Persistent ru-
mors that the Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton has used money to bribe the Ore
gon Legislature to amend the local
option law passed at the last session
SO as to make it nugatory have led
to the introduction of resolution by
Senator Haines calling for committee
to investigate. The resolution recites
that it was a matter of comment prior
to the convening of the Legislature
that money would be used by the
liquor interests to secure the revision
or repeal of the local option law and
further that these rumors have since
assumed the definite form that brib-
cry fund has been raised. The Senator
declares this will cast taint on the
Legislature and asks for the appoint
ment Of committee Of five to investi-
gate and report.

.SAYS HEBBARD
IS PREJUDICED
Bakery Union Asks Removal
of Boycott Case to Some
!: Other Court for Hearing
RELATIVES IN BUSINESS
Affidavit Alleges That the
Judge Gave Advice to
:. the Enemies of Labor
RELATIVES IN BUSINESS

The relationship of Superior Judge
J. c. B. Hebbard to persons interested
in the bakery business is made the
grounds for a motion to remove pending
boycott proceedings from his court to
that Of some other Judge for trial. A
notice OF the motion, to be made next
Friday, was filed yesterday by Attor-
.ney r. p. Troy. acting for the defend
ants, In the suit of Thorp & Co.
against the unions of Bakery and
Confectionery Workers, Pie Bakers
and Statesmen of Bakery Goods. for
an injunction to restrain the defend
ants from committing acts INJURIOUS
to the plaintiffs business.
Accompanying the notice Is an affi-
davit Of Paul Graves, one of the de-
PENDANTS. He charges that Judge
Hebbard's wife. brother-in-law and
father-in-law. the latter now dead,
were for many years interested in bak-
cries, and that as a matter of friend
ship and feeling for the interests of his
relatives the Judge has advised them
how to combat the unions named. On
this account, says Graves. the Judge
Is biased and the defendants cannot
have fair trial In his court.
=: The afhant recites at length his
idea of the purpose of unions to bet
ter the material condition and elevate
the moral tone OF the workingman.
He; quotes certain strong paragraphs
from Judge Hebbards opinion in the
.Goldberg-Bowen suit against the Sta
blemen's Union. One of the phrases,
1t Is claimed. justifies violence on the
part Of person boycotted and ex-
presses the opinion that such would
q meet with the approval OF jury un-
der the right of self-defense.
1t is further alleged by Graves that
Judge Hebbard recently remarked,
II intend to stand for another shot
Tomorrow If the unions do not like
my views" It is charged. too. that he
has expressed himself as antagonistic
to labor unions generally and to all
connected with them.

one to four months. have passed away
of acute gastritis at the San Francisco
Founding Asylum, Twenty-ninth and
Point Lobos avenues. within the last
nine days. A number of children are

The nurses say the children are
brought to the place In a weak and
famished condition. and 1t Is very hard
to save them. DIR. Lucia Lane, the
superintendent of the place, says the
authorities have done all in their
power to nourish the unfortunate
foundlings. but in nearly every in
stance an attack of stomach trouble
proves fatal.
The parents OF all the unfortunate
little ones are not known to the au-
thorities. The foundlings are brought
to the asylum when but a few days
old and left to the mercies of the
nurses. The Board of Health was no.
titled of the death of each child, and

Teller Takes Occasion to

UsURPATION OF POWER
Unsuccessful Attempt Made
by Beveridge to Set Date
for a Vote on Statehood

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Beveridge
made another Intellectual effort in the
Senate to-day to have time fixed for
voting on the statehood bill. The op-
posing Senators expressed an unwill-
ingness to vote on the bill until the
amendments shall have been disposed
of and Beveridge would not consent to
a vote on them without an agreement
extending to the bill itself.
The Notifications appropriations bill
was passed, after the rejection of the
amendment striking out the provision
for insular fortifications.
When the Senate met to-day Perkins
of California presented the credentials
of Frank P. Flint. The credentials Of
Lodge of Massachusetts, Winthrop
Murray Crane of Massachusetts and
McCumber of North Dakota were also
presented.
Teller criticized the apparent lack OF
system in fortifying the insular possess
sions He was not in favor of any
great expenditure ON the islands, with
the future policy in view OF the uiti-
mate turning of them over to their in
habitants.
Teller said he had noticed in the
morning papers that we were about to
take another island, that we are guar
anteeing the stability Of the Island Of
Santo Domingo"
"It is a great job" he added: st

Perkins of California replied briefly
to Teller as to his remarks relating to
the Philippines. The islands were
United States territory and the i'm
provement provided was necessary, he
said.
Money expressed the opinion that the
Japanese were the natural protectors
of the Filipinos if they need protec-
tor, which he did not believe to be the
case.
Tellers amendment to strike out the
provisions for insular Notifications was
voted down, II to 3S. party vote. The
bill was then passed.
Beveridge made an effort to secure an
agreement to vote on the statehood
bill. but opposing Senators objected.
1T is contrary to precedent to fix
date to vote on statehood bills" sug-
gested Carmack, referring to the oppo-
sition to the omnibus statehood bill of
last session, which was led by Bev-
eridge. The thrust created a general
smile at Beveridges expense, in which
he joined.
AT 5 o'clock the Senate went into
executive session and five minutes later
adjourned.

the Vicinity of the BONN
Islands.
HONOLULU, Jan. 17.-On her way
over from Manila the big freighter
Texan had an experience that kept
her officers anxious for several hours.
When near the Bonin Islands the
steamship ran into thick layers Of
pumice stone, which had evidently
just been emitted by some volcano.
It kept getting thicker and thicker
until there were finally patches Of
1t as much as 500 feet long. So thick
was the field of pumice that It was
impossible to see water for several
hours.
Captain Morrison was unable to
see any volcano on the islands, but
believes that one was in eruption In
that locality. However. 1t may be
that the seismic outburst may have
occurred under the sea, the pumice,
which is very light. rising to the sur
face.
