Robert Forsyth was elected president
of the Union Iron Works yesterday at
meeting of the board of directors
held in New York. At the same time
E. L. McIlwaine of the Bethlehem Steel
Company was made chairman of the
board.
Forsyth has been chief engineer of
the works. He succeeds Willis G.
Dodd, who has held the office for two
years, both under the Scott regime and
since the works became part of the
United States Shipbuilding Company
properties.
1t is reported that this change is part
of a general retrenchment scheme and
that after old contracts are finished
little or no shipbuilding will be done
at the Union Iron Works The work
will be done on the Atlantic Coast,
where material and labor are cheaper.
The working force of the plant has
been gradually cut since Schwab OBJ

MAKES DEMAND
FOR RECEIVER
| Urgency Pleaded by Lawyer
Wise in Pacific Coast
Savings Society Case
CLIENTS ARE UNSECURED
Motion to Make Injunction
Permanent Continued for
Argument Until Tuesday

The argument on a motion for a
permanent injunction TO restrain and
enjoin the Pacific Coast Savings So
ciety from transacting further busi-
ness on the ground that it is insolvent
was TO have been heard before Judge
Lawlor yesterday afternoon at .
O'Clock. Attorneys representing vari-
Gus interests were present.
When the case was called the Judge
suggested that another date for hear
ing be agreed upon. as he could not
take up the case.
Attorney o. /. Wise, representing
stockholders who had paid in more
than 100000, said that the only ques-
tion up was the appointment of re-
ceivers, as all were agreed that the
society was insolvent. That should
not take much time and he pleaded
urgency.
Attorney Van Ness, representing the
Canadian and American Mortgage and
Trust Company. holders of the soci-
ety's debenture bonds, who had filed
a complaint in Intervention. said that
the sOciety's debts amounted to about
S42.5o0~ He thought there was Moth
ing TO justify the appointment of re-
ceivers and asked whether the parties
interested could not agree upon the
best method of liquidating the estate.
He suggested that continuance of
four or five days be granted to see if
1t were not possible to make some sat
lsfactory arrangements in that direc-
ton. The temporary restraining or
der was sufficient to prohibit the So
ciety from doing any further business.
Attorney Wise said that Van Ness
clients were nominally secured and so
was Daniel Meyers bank, but his cli-
ents were unsecured. There was
nothing to prevent Meyer from fore
closing. thereby depriving others of
the benefit of any surplusage. He re-
peated that the only question was the
naming of receivers. The rights of
Van Ness clients could not be i'm
paired.
The arguments went over till Tues
day morning, and the attorneys were
asked TO come prepared with authori-
ties as TO whether the allegations in
the complaint were sufficient to auth
orize the court to appoint receivers.
Attorney Wise then filed a COM
plant in Intervention on behalf of w.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC HAS
BEST OF ARGUMENT

The Supreme Court yesterday grant
ed a new trial to the Southern Pacific
Company in suit brought by that
corporation to condemn certain land
in Summerland, Santa Barbara Coun-
ty, owned by the San Francisco Saw
ings Union and G.. F. Becker. The
property is rich in oil and on this fact
hinges the dispute.
The railroad wants to pay for a
right of way only, while the owners
of the land want to be reimbursed for
both the surface and mineral value Of
the property. The lower court decided
in favor of the owners and excluded
the railroad peoples evidence intend
ed to show that the easement for the
right of way was of less value than
title to the land throughout. The Su-
preme Court thinks there is a differ
ence between the easement and the
fee and grants new trial on that
ground.

Corporations Property

PARIS, Feb. ia semi-official dis
patch from Caracas, Venezuela, says
that upon pressure by President Cas-
tro the court has ordered the sequestra-
tion of the landed property of the
American Asphalt Company. This de-
cision, the dispatch adds. has caused
excitement in the American colony at
Caracas.
: WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The State
Department to-day received a cable
gram from Minister Bowen at Caracas
stating that the Supreme Court had
confirmed it's former decree seques-
trating the property in Venezuela of

action OF the court brings the asphalt
dispute to the critical point. for it is
now incumbent upon this Government
TO make the next move.

scheme may extend to cutting down
the force still more.
These reports are scoffed at by
George Fredericks, one of the repre-
sentatives of the works "The story
that shipbuilding will be abandoned is
ridiculous. We have had to let some
men go because the work is slack. 1t
has been slack all over the country.
Mr.. Forsyth's appointment is in line
with a general reorganization plan."
Robert Forsyth has been in the en-
ploy of the Union Iron Works for
twenty years and has had charge of
all the shipbuilding work during that
time. The first work he did here was
on the Charleston. His reputation for
knowing marine mechanical construc-
ton is high.
Willis G. Dodd, whose place FORSYTH
takes, declined to discuss the matter
last night. He said that Henry r.
Scott might throw some light on the
intentions of the directors of the works

ROBBER HOLDS UP GROCER,
But SECURES SMALL SUM
Theodore Schultz Parts With So 20
When Highwayman Takes
Him by Surprise.

Theodore Schultz, proprietor of
grocery and bar at Stockton and
Chestnut streets, was held up and
robbed of s5 20 in his place of busi-
ness shortly after 9 o'clock last night.
The deed was performed by a lone
robber, who presented a pistol at the
grocer and ordered him to empty his
till. Just before the robber entered
the place two men walked into the
barroOm and ordered beer. 1t is
thought they were accomplices, as
they fed during the mixup.
The highwayman turned out the
lights in the grocery before entering
the barroom. Schultz yielded up 81
from the cash register and 81 20 from
his till. Late last night Thomas
Walker, alias Thomas Williams, was
arrested on suspicion of having COM
mitted the robbery.

That the Official Was Guilt

That the Official Was Guilt
less of Crime
United States Commissioner Hea-
cock yesterday dismissed the charges
against James F. Thompson, former
ly Receiver of the Land Office at Eu-
reka, Humboldt County. Mr. Thomp-
son was accused of having illegally
exacted and received fees of $40 each
from applicants making timber land
entries, the money to be applied to
'proving-up" expenses. 1t was shown
on the hearing before the Commits
sioner that Receiver Thompson had
followed a custom which prevailed in
every land office in the United States
and that when he was advised by
land Office agent that the collection OF
this fee in advance was illegal he
ceased to exact it. 1t was also shown
that the Receiver had advertised in six
newspapers of Humboldt County re-
questing applicants who had paid the
SO fee to call at his Office and re-
ceive their money.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
THINK 1T OVER.
Something You Can See in Any Res
taurant or Cafe.

A physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large restau-
rant at lunch or dinner time the large
number Of hearty, vigorous old men at
the tables; men whose ages run from so
TO so years; many of them bald and all
perhaps gray. but none of them feeble
or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation or
comment, but nevertheless it is an OBJ
Ject lesson which means something.
II you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will observe
that they are not munching bran crack
ers nor gingerly picking their way
through menu card of new-fangled
health foods; on the contrary, they
seem to prefer a juicy roast of beef, a
properly turned loin of mutton, and
even the deadly broiled lobster is not
altogether ignored.
The point Of all this is that vigor-
Gus old age depends upon good diges-
ton and plenty of wholesome food, and
not upon dieting and an endeavor to
live upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class of food cranks
who seem to believe that meat, coffee
and many other good things are rank
looking individuals are a walking con-
demnation of their own theories
The matter, in a nutshell, is that If
the stomach secretes the natural di-
gestive juices in sufficient quantities
any wholesome food will be promptly
digested; If the stomach does not do so,
and certain foods cause distress, one or
two Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal viii remove all difficulty, be-
cause they supply just what every
weak stomach lacks-pepsin, hydro
chloric acid. diastase and nuX.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
act upon the bowels, and, in fact, are
not strictly a medicine, as they act al
most entirely upon the food eaten, di-
gesting it thoroughly. and thus give a
much needed rest and giving an appe-
tite for the next meal.
OF people who travel nine out of ten
use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, know
ing them to be perfectly safe to use at
any time and also having found out by
experience that they are a safeguard
against indigestion in any form, and
eating. as they have to, at all hours
and all kinds of food, the travelling
public for years have pinned their faith
to Stuart's Tablets.
Al druggists sell them at 80 cents for
full-sized packages. and any druggist
from Maine to California, if his opinion
we're asked. will say that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets is the most popular and
successful remedy for any stomach
trouble.

Kicked to Death"
When Alex r. Anderson, proprietor
of the Three Crowns saloon on Jack
son street, sued his wife, Fanny An
derson, for divorce on the ground of
habitual intemperance, he probably
did not look for a cross-complaint so
strong as the one she filed yesterday
by her attorney, Warren Temple. Mrs.
Anderson says she is 20 years old, her
husband is so and they were mar
ried in December, 1901. At the time
or the union, she says, she had $4,000
and she charges him with having
robbed her of it. Besides the saloon,
he owns property on Clement street,
in which she claims a share. She
AYERS upon oath that after she mar

Denying the charge of intemperance,
she says he held her and poured liquor
down her throat and then threw her
