LEGISLATORS
SPEND SUNDAY
AT CORONADO

HOTEL DEL CORONADO, Jan. 81
Junketing parties from the State Leg
islature gave the big hotel quite the
appearance of Senate chamber on
Sunday. The Senate Committee, which
came south to investigate the matter
of an appropriation for the State Nor
NAL School at San Diego occupied a
great deal of attention during the fore
noon. The afternoon was marked by
the arrival Of the Assembly Committee
son Prisons and Reforms. They had
come south to Whittier, and finding
that they could spare the time decided
to come to San Diego and Coro-
'nado to spend Sunday. The Senate
Committee on Buildings and Grounds
is expected to come this way soon.
Sacramento has not by any means
supplied all the arrivals at the big
caravansary. Massachusetts furnished
a quota in the form of an excursion
party. The visitors are flocking in
from all sections until the immense ro-
( tunda of the hotel each evening looks
much like ballroom, so crowded is it
with goeSts in evening dress. The
Massachusetts excursionist are:
Captain Ira c. Foster. Boston; Mrs. Annie
E. Cummings. Winthrop; Mrs. H. N. Hast
ings Mrs. F. C. Rundlett and A. l.. Hast

phine Gleason, Marlboro; Miss Grace f.
Dodge. Everett Charles e. Giles, Dorchester;
Miss Grace Wittemore, Roxbury, and H. c..
RUSSELL
Other arrivals from the East and
Middle West, where the weather is so
fearfully cold that they had to come
visiting to see If there really was a. land
under the stars and stripes where snow
never fell and where frost never
troubled, included:
Mr.. and Mrs. H. M. Byllesey. Mr. and Mrs.
Adolph Loeb, Mrs. II. Elson. Mr.. and Mrs.

EPPINGER GRAIN SUITS
ARE NOT COMPROMISED
Banks Fail to Reach Agreement and
Trial viii Probably Be Resumed
Next Week

The expected compromise of the suit
among the dozen banks demanding the
proceeds of the sale of $500 tons Of
Eppinger grain remaining in the
Crockett warehouse after the failure
did not materialize as expected yester-
day and a renewal of the trial of the
case was set by Judge Murasky for
next Tuesday. Unless something IA
yorable happens to bring the Disagree
Ing interests together before that
time an effort will be made to untangle
all of the complex claims in court
with fees to be paid to seventeen at
torneys.
1t is understood that the agreed al
lowance of $4,000 to the American
National Bank, which claimed to have
identified six lots of grain for which it
heid warehouse receipts. was the stick
ing point in the settlement. Mr..
Chickering, attorney for the bank, says
that the others charged that the
American was "a thief for demand
ing so much. Rather than have the
amount shaved the bank is willing to
fight it out in the expectation of prov
ing its right to the identified lots.
When the trial of the case was i'm
terrupted last week with a proposition
for a compromise the attorneys pres
ent agreed upon seemingly satisfac-
tory division which gave a portion Of
the 100000 to the banks laying claim
to- specified lots, portion to those
wanting a pro rata division and a
share to Henry w. Wadsworth, the
Eppinger trustee in bankruptcy, for
the benefit of all the Eppinger credi-
tors. If the litigation is resumed
these three interests will be conflicting.

CITY LOSES A POINT IN
SURETY PREMIUM SUIT
Judge Trout Declares That state
Does Not Govern This
Municipal Affair."

In a. written opinion Judge Trout
yesterday overruled the demurrer of
Auditor Baehr and Treasurer Nc
Dougald to the suit of Julius C. Saul
man, wherein, as a taxpayer, he seeks
tn enjoin the payment of demand for
S1475 by the National Surety Company
for premiums on the official bonds of
the Tax Collector, Auditor, Treasurer,
County Clerk and Sheriff. The defend
ants relied upon the legislative act
providing that bonds of certain pub
lie officials shall be paid by the State,
county or city. There is, however, no
such provision in the San Francisco
charter. Judge Trout says that as
Stunning the law to beea general one. is
it such a law that the municipality
must yield to it? If it is municipal
matter the Legislature cannot author
ize the payment out of the municipal
treasury, and the court says: Il have
no hesitancy in declaring that the pay
nrent of the premium is municipal
affair and beyond the control of the
Legislature. The defendants. are given
ten days in which to answer the suit
