Will Sail. for the
Orient on Next
Saturday.
Pacific Mail Wharf
PiledHigh With
Freight.

The Pacific Mail Company's liner
Manchuria, Captain Saunders, will
sail Saturday for the Orient. The
rain, which has fallen almost con-
tinuously since she arrived, has added
considerably to the difficulty of dis
charging and loading, and it will be
only by the efforts of a large army of
stevedores working night and day
that the big ship will be ready for sea
on schedule time.
The Manchuria brought from the
Orient more than IL, 1000 tons of cargo.
This will all have to be discharged and
1900 tons placed on board before the
Manchuria is ready to leave. On ac-
count of the rain the work of dis
charging has to be done under cover,
and this hampers the work to Sc
rious extent. Inability to move the
freight from the wharf as fast as it
is discharged and lack of wharf space
in which to stow the unloaded cargo
has caused a serious congestion and
leaves little space for handling the
outward cargo.
When the new wharves are COM
pleted problems like this will have no
dread for the men responsible for
loading and discharging ships, but un>
der present conditions life on the Pa
cific Mail wharf is chockful of ex-
citement.
The Manchuria will carry large
number of passengers for the Far

YOELL'S VALET
ON The STAND
John Kay Declares That
His Employer Wrote and
Destroyed Many Wills
CLAIMS HE WAS CLOSE
Servant Says That Santa
Clara Pioneer Was Too
Stingy to Buy a Drink

81 got tired of witnessing wills for
him." declared John Kay, former valet
of ]. Alexander Yoell. in Judge Kerri-
gan's court yesterday.
Kay testified that his master seemed
to take a delight in writing wills. only
to destroy them and write others. This
Is one of the reasons that the valet,
introduced by the contestants to prove
that Yoell was not of sound mind when
he made the will in favor of the chill
dren of his first wife, thinks the Santa
Clara pioneer was insane.
All sorts of suspicious regarding the
children of both wives clouded the old
mans mind during his last years, ac-
cording to Kay The valet relates an
incident that happened near the Cliff
House shortly before the father of the
two families died. "Mr. Yoell was lean
ing on my arm said Kay. He said
he was going to die soon. Then he saw
a strange gentleman looking at us. He
flew into a rage and said The - is
spying on met 1 think that he was
crazy"
On cross-examination by D. M. Del
mas, Kav said that Yoell had often
declared that the children of his second
wife were only waiting for him to die,
so that they could get his property by
proving that he was of unsound mind.
The valet testified that YoeIl finally
became suspicious of him and charged
him with being spy. Kay was dis
charged in August, 1899.
The valet told in detail how Yoell be-
came suspicious of his children, one by
one, and how he even quarreied with
Mrs. Evelyn Levy, who became exec
utrix of his will. Quaint revelations as
to Yoelrs penuriousness were made by
the valet.
WAS Yoell drinking man?" asked
one juror.
mo. sir: he was too stingy," replied
Kay. The valet told how his master
had at one time bought 10 cents worth
of cherries at a market to save car
fare to go home for lunch.
William Klummenacher, who worked
around Yoell's home at San Jose, re-
lated incidents intended to show that
the Santa Clara pioneer was not of
sound mind.
He declared that one day the old man
disturbed the house with shrieks for
Allie" The witness said that when
he attempted to soothe his employer.
Yoell became furious and continued to
shout for Allie.
The case will be taken UP at II a. m.
to-day, when depositions from wit
nesses who are living in San Jose will
be read. Nearly all the children Of
Yoell were present yesterday.

POLICE PUZZLED OVER
A MISSING CLIPPING
Filed as Evidence in Burglary Case,
but 1t Cannot Be Found at
Defendants Trial


James Mickens, alias John Williams
a colored man, was convicted by a
jury in Judge Dunne's court yesterday
on charge of burglary and was or
dered to appear for sentence on jan
uary 2S. He entered the saloon of
Gomez and Gilmette, 412 Pacific street,
on July 27 and stole several articles,
including a gold watch.
A feature of the case was the disap-
pearance of clipping from a receipt
book of William Schmalz, a pawn
broker on Market street. The clipping
bore the signature of John Williams
and at the preliminary hearing before
Judge Mogan Theodore Kytka, hand
examination of the defendants sigma
ture on the prison book the signature
John Williams was also written by
him. The receipt was for the gold
watch stolen from the saloon. S.
At the trial yesterday 1t was dis
covered that the clipping could not be
found. 1t was filed as evidence in
Judge Mogan's court and no traces Of
it could be found after that. 1t
should have been taken by Detectives
O'Dea and Mulcahy. the arresting Of
ficers, to tho property clerk, but the
property clerk had no record of hav-
ing received 1t. The result was that
when Kytka was called to testify yes
terday his evidence was objected to
and the objection was sustained. An
investigation will probably be made to
ascertain who is responsible for the
disappearance of the clipping.

ADMITS Chinese
IS TOO CLEVER
Foreman Andrews of Grand
Jury Tells of Unsuccess-
full Grill of Chan Cheung
IS QUESTIONED BY BUDD
Claims His Mind Is i'm Con-
dition to Act With Impair
= tiality as to Defendant
IS QUESTIONED BY BUDD

Further argument on the challenge
TO the Grand Jury in regard to the in.
dtctment against Chan Cheung, charg-
ing. him with the murder of Tom Yick
of the Chinese Educational Society,
was heard by Jurge Lawlor yesterday
morning. The point in dispute was as
to whether the condition of the mind
of Foreman T. P. Andrews was such
as to enable him to act with entire i'm.
partialfty in finding the indictment. 1t
was finally decided to continue the ex-
animation of Foreman Andrews
Foreman Andrews, in answer to
questions by Attorney James H. Budd,
admitted that the object of taking
Chan Cheung from his home and de-
tanning him for over forty hours was
to get from him, If possible, the ad-
mission that he was the go-between
: In regard to the bribery fund supplied
by Chinese gamblers for police pro-
i. lection. Chan, he said, was too clever
for them. and be believed that Chan
was not telling the truth when he told
them he knew nothing about it.
Chan was grilled for five or six hours
and was then taken to room in
hotel. where he was closely guarded.
Why did you keep him locked in
aroom for so many hours after the
grt2ling was concluded?' asked Budd.
Well, we were informed that he
would give up replied Andrews.
Budd wanted to know who gave him
that information, but the question was
objected to by Assistant District At
torhey Ferral. Objection sustained.
WAS it Mr.. Carpenter" again
asked Budd, and the same objection
was :held good.
Andrews said he did mention to
Chan about the murder of Tom Yiek,
and that he presided when the de-
cision was reached to indict him. He
did not vote. as he told the other
Grand Jurors that he had reasons foi
IT which might disqualify him. He
was satisfied that notwithstanding
=" what he believed about Chan and the
Chinatown corruption fund his mind
was in such a condition that he could
=. have acted fairly and impartially in
the premises.
E. J. Bowes. chairman of the Po-
lice Committee of the Grand Jury, was
called to testify, but his answers were
eyasive and nothing definite was ELI
:cited to show whether Foreman An
drews was preJudiced against Chan.
The case was continued till Saturday.
