Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, June 4.-James D. Phe-
Ian, chairman of the relief committee
at San Francisco, in a telegram today
to Herman OelrichS stated that the
city was in immediate need of funds.
Coming on the heels of the action of
the San Francisco banks last week in
starting to return $50, 100000 borrowed
money to New York bankers, the mes
sage caused surprise.
The San Francisco banks in the last
few days have sent back more than
So, 5,000,00O and It is said on Wall street
that the balance is expected in few
weeks. When the money went from
New York to San Francisco 1t was un-
derstood that 1t could be kept as long
as it was needed and for any purpose.
There are funds in the east held
specially for rehabilitation of which
we have Knowledge" says Phelan's s
message, but which have not been
turned over to us. We have been in
communication with parties and we
are promised such funds.
"Relier work at once accomplished
we intend to Incorporate and use all
available funds for rebuilding. This
will be most important and costly
work.
Phelan says the general impression
that $15,000,000 has been received by
the San Francisco committee for re-
lief work is erroneous, only $4,000, 900
having come in. He advises New York
to refrain from sending any more sup
plies, but all the money that can be
| forwarded will be appreciated.

SPEAKER CANNON HAS 1T IN FOR

Because of the Latters' Action In
Statehood Measure the SIoat
Bill Is Cut off for
Revenge
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, June 4.-Speaker
Cannon has demonstrated a resentful
feeling toward Californians during the
past few days
He has killed the per cent school
land bill for this session, and today,
without apparent reason, cut off con-
sideration of the Little bill, appropriat-
ing $4,000 for monument to Commodore
Sloat at Monterey after permitting sew
eral similar bills TO pass and after he
had promised to recognize the Sloat bill.
The speakers bad feeling is under
stood to be caused by the Californians'
attitude on the statehood bill. He has
his heart set on the admission of New
Mexico and Arizona as single state,
because he passionately opposed any
increase of United States senators.
He believes the senate is already too
strong as compared with the house, and
he fears if New Mexico and Arizona
are not forced into the union as one
state they will be admitted separately
later if Democrats should get control
Of congress.
A senator said today that Speaker
Cannon was vehement in denouncing
Californians in a recent conversation.

ALL GROCERY BARS MUST GO
san Francisco Mayor Tells Why and
Points Out the Evils Of
Such Concerns
~ AssocIated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 4.-Com-
blned grocery stores and saloons are
to be prohibited in this city in the fu-
ture IL Mayor schmitz veto can help
them out.
In an interview today he said that
without regard to what agreement the
supervisors may reach concerning the
resumption of the liquor trade, any
ordinance that does not specifically
prohibit saloons with groceries at
tached will not receive his sanction.
The mayor said:
"There is less danger from place
run as a saloon than there is from q
grocery store with q bar attachment.
1.-THE youth of the community, especi-
ally young girls, will not be tempted
to enter q saloon, while they might be
trapped into a corner grocery where
the influences are as bad and ofteneT
worse than they would be in a straight
saloon"
The day for opening the saloons Is
still in doubt. The mayor has never
fixed a definite day and he is still as
uncertain as he was on the day that
he ordered them closed.
1t is probable, however, that the sa-
looms will be permitted to resume busi-
ness on July 1, If the conditions are
as favorable as they are at present.

STANFORD ESTATE
IS IN LITIGATION
CHARGES FILED BY SENATOR'S
NIECE
Claim Set Up That MllIlonares
Brother Was Cheated Out Of
$eos,ooo by Formers
Widow
BY Associated Press.

DS ASsoClated fresS.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 4-What
practically amounts to a contest of the
vast Stanford estate was filed in the
county clerks office this morning by
Annie Stanford, niece Of the SEN
ator, against Charles Gardner Lathrop.
Timothy Hopkins, Joseph d. Grant,
Whitelaw Reid and T. G.. Crothers, as
executors of the will of the late Jane
l.. Stanford.
The action takes the form of a suit
for $1OSOOO accruing to Asa Stanford
since the death of his brother and the
restitution of 100000 worth of stock
alleged to have been fraudulently
withheld by Mrs. Stanford to cheat her
brother-in-law in his old age and des-
titution.
The complaint fairly bristles with
sensational charges 1t accuses Mrs.
stanford of conspiracy and fraud of
the most aggravated nature and re-
hearses the story of an old man cheated
out of the fruits of his labors, in con-
stant apprehension of the poor house
and finally driven into the grave by the
harsh treatment of his brothers widow
UnIustly Treated
According to the plaintiff, A. Stan
ford did not receive just treatment
from Mrs. Stanford after the death of
the latters husband.
The chronicle begins as far back as
1869, when Asa Stanford was one OF
his brothers directors of the Central
Pacific railroad, of which his brother
was the founder and president. AT
the solicitation of Leland Stanford he
withdrew from his position and sur
rendered his sixth share of the total
stock.
For this transfer of power and stock
Leland Stanford agreed to pay his
brother $1,000 month during his life
time and to leave him 100000 worth of
stock at his death.
This agreement was faithfully exc
cuted by the senator, who invariably
made the monthly payments and left
$500000 worth of the capital stock in
his safe to be paid to his brother when
he should pass away.
Did Not Pay Stipend
1t is set forth in the papers which
were filed today that Mrs. Stanford
| that is said to have been left her
brother-in-law, but refused to pay him
the thousand dollar monthly stipend.
| After Asa Stanford had made fire.
| quent demands for the money it is
said he was told that Senator STAN
| ford had hardly left enough property
/ to pay the debts he had incurred and
| that If his claim were pressed he would
throw the estate into bankruptcy.
Finally, it is stated, Asa Stanford
released all his claims against the es-
tate for a consideration of $10,O00
Annie F. Stanford asks that the re-
lease signed by Asa Stanford be de-
clared void and delivered to her along
with the letter he was forced to sign
| that it may be destroyed.
She demands 100000 which accrued
in the nine years intervening between
the death of Leland Stanford and his
brother, and finally she asks for the
| questioned stock in the Central Pacific
| or $5O0,OO0 as an equivalent.
Her attorneys are Cameron H. King
| and Henry ]. Power.
