PINS HIS HOPE
TO HIS LETTERS

So confident is w. F. Whittier, man
of considerable wealth, that the letters
he wrote to Miss Nellie Henry, who is
breach of promise, breathe anything
but love that he wants them produced
by her to be used as part of his de-
fense. Miss Henry, whose deposition is
being taken, refused to produce them
before the notary, with the result that
Judge Kerrigan was, called upon yes
terday to compel Miss Henry to show
cause why she refused to produce the
missives.
Miss Henry was not present, but so
persistent were Whittier's attorneys
that the letters will defeat Miss Hen
rvs claims that Judge Kerrigan agreed
that they must be material evidence,
and issued an order directing Miss Hem
ry to produce them. If she fails to obey
she must show cause for her action.
In her complaint Miss Henry alleges
that she consented on January l, 1890,
to become Whittier's wife, and awaited
the wedding day with hopes of happi-
ness to come, but on August 18, 1903,
Whittier told her he had thought better
of his proposal and would release her
from the engagement. She did not want
to be released, she AYERS, and xsought
marry her, but without avail Then she
sued for damages to soothe her broken
heart.
Whittier alleges that he never prom
ised to marry Miss Henry, and that the
letters she must now produce will prove
that Miss Henry and he were only
friends not sweethearts.

Dr. ]. I. Stephen. chief surgeon Of
the Emergency Hospital service, who
has gained considerable notoriety
through the alleged neglect OF his
duties, is in more trouble. His name
has been dropped from the member
ship of the San Francisco County Med
ical Society. The specific charge against
the medical man is non-payment of
dues, though deeper motives are sug-
gested by his colleagues as the reason
that led to his dismissal from the most
important medical association in the
State.

was equally unsuccessful in securing

nothing left for us to do but to drop

Coroner Leland did not force her to

Vilardo gave an account of his broth

was lost sight of. The most important
point in all his testimony the witness
tried to skim lightly over.

Union yesterday prevented George C.

go into Alaskan waters as a member

sioners office. They demanded to
see his union card and when he re-
piled that he was not union man
they told him that it would be useless
for him to go into the office; that he
would not be allowed to sign papers.
Calvert then went upstairs for, protec-
tion and was escorted to the shipping
office by United States Secret Service
Agent Harry Moffitt. The captain of
the Coalinga on learning that Calvert
was not a union man refused to ac-
cept him. Then Calvert was asked to
