SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
VALLEJO, Aug. AFTER year
spent in preliminary tests and during
which time some of the most valuable
discoveries in the history of American
medical science were made Medical Di-
rector Parsons of the Mare Island
Navy Yard and Executive Director DR..
Dunbar have secured the consent of
the Navy Department to establish one
of the most modern open air consump-
tion cure camps in the country on
Mare Island
The site selected is in a sheltered
cove on the side hill of the island, a
short distance from the big naval hos
pital and it is being fitted up in a
manner that makes its condition far
superior to any similar establishment
in this country. The camp has the
new patent ventilator tents and in
these tents twenty-six enlisted men
of the navy, most of whom contracted
tuberculosis in the Orient from cli-
matte exposure, are receiving treat
ment.
No one who visits the open air hos
pital can but be impressed with the
great work that is being done here.
Men in all stages of the grip of the
dread disease are to be seen. Some
are almost cured and others are un-
able to walk by themselves The ex-
periments of the past year have been
wonderful and too much cannot be said
in praise of Drs. Parsons and Dunbar,
who are doing much to solve the great
est problem that the medical men Of
the world are, called upon to battle
with.
The physicians have declared after
extended experiments that alcoholic
liquor in any form is extremely detri-
mental to consumption. The treatment
on Mare Island consists of open air,
plenty of good food properly prepared
and not a drop of medicine of any
kind. The improvements now under
way will house and provide treatment
for nearly all of the patients that will
come here from the Asiatic station.

GATHER AROUND CAMP FIRE.
Early in the spring of this year the
children of the owl planned for the
production of new and wholly
original scene in the forest something
from F. Schneiders genius in COM
position that would equal in music
and in the enchanting effect of light
and shade among the trees the famous
representation of ''Hamadryads" of 1904
or The Quest of the Gorgon," a year
later. Going back, but not too far
back Bohemians recalled the wed
ding of the magic ring produced by
H. ]. Stewart and Donald Graham
over at the grove on Austin Creek,
a tributary OF the Russian River
links of the Druids and the jinks of
LAS You Like It" were fondly dwelt
upon. The first plans of the jinks
committee this year came to naught.
The dance of Mother Earth on the
morning of April IS and the swirl OF
the flame in the fair city of San
Francisco rendered revision and
abridgment desirable, hence the sug-
gestion of r. NJ. Hotaling, Louis Lis
ser and H. J. Maginnity, the jinks
committee, under the administration
of Fred w. Hall. president of the
club, that an d-tine camp fire high
jinks should be slated, with an elabo-
rate cremation of care as the chief
ceremonial feature, was accepted.
WISE MEN OF THE FOREST.
In the usual fashion the Bohemians
came to the camp two by two and
score by score. The hilarity developed
from day to day and from night to
night. Wise men of the forest studied
the moon and nightly noted in
creasing roundness and fullness. AT

nothing to conceal. I have no business
connection except with the University
of California. My intention and aim
has been to be perfectly fair with the
Insurance companies and with the pol

will be as accurate as I can make 1t.
Nothing that could happen can change
the report in that regard.
e.. /. Hitchcock was seen at his once
II the Bacon block in Oakland. He de-
MED that he had said anything to Fro
lessor Whitney that could be construed
into an intimation that insurance com
Ianies might act unpleasantly toward
the professor on account of the forth
coming report. He professed to be at
a loss as to how such an idea could
have arisen.
Hitchcock came recently to Calffor-
ni;f and, as announced in the journal
OF which he is the manager, organized
a bureau to pass upon the distorted
fictions of the ignorant and excited
press of San Francisco and present the
facts TO underwriters from the stand
point of intelligent understandings.
In the same number of the Insurance
Field that contained this modest am
nounoement appeared on July 19 an ar
ticle to show that Professor Whitney S
proceedings Were part of an inquiry
obviously unfair From the bureau or
ganized by Hitchcock in Oakland there
emaBated. under the caption OF "un-
feir," the following:
How such information can be ralr,
accurate and impartial without seeking
the company side for information is
rather hard to determine"
CALLS 1T CONSPIRACY.
After this attack on Professor Whit
ney's methods Hitchcock visited the
professor in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms in the ferry building. He took
along a copy of the Insurance Field
containing the article of which the
foregoing is a part and spoke or tho
trouble that the companies might make.
The insurance paper contained other
samples of literature that reveal the
feeling of it's manager. The Following
are abstracts:
The San Francisco conspiracy to de-
stroy every company that seeks to en-
force Its contract rights justifies the
strongest resistance by companies that
drew their scdntracts with an eye to
perils that were we'll known but not
valued by coast property owners"

ance company deserves credit for the
stand that 1t has taken. 1t will be

"Egged on by newspapers, 1t is un-
questionably a fact that some compa-
Eies have settled losses too hastily;
that good money has been paid out on

beginning to come to light and are
quite likely to cause even closer ad-
justments in the future, for 1t cannot
be assumed that any management Is
willing absolutely to throw away the
money of stockholders even for adver-
| tising effsct."

DE YoUNG's LOT EXPANDS.
Publisher Sues to Add Part of Street to
His PrOperty.

NJ. II. de Young has brought suit
against "all the world" to re-estabiish
his title to numerous pieces of realty
held by him before the fire. This for
the reason that the public records have
been destroyed and new ones are neces-
sary for the perfection of title.
The only one of these suits that is
of notable interest is one with refer
ence TO property In the block bounded
by Polk, Larkin. O'Farrell and Geary
streets. Maps and records In the hands
of private firms show that before the
fire Mr.. de Young owned lot 1so feet
deep, with 275 feet frontage on O'Far-
rell street, and bounded in the rear
by Myrtle avenue, a thoroughfare only
thirty-five feet wide.
The suit to retestahlish title, how
ever, makes claim to a lot 1875 feet
deep. In other words, IL is sought to
include just one-half OF Myrtle avenue
in Mr.. de Youngs lot.
The suit is No. IS upon the flies in
the office of the County Clerk The
complaint recites that Mr.. de Young
obtained the title from Abraham Nor
ris and Fanny Morris in 1883 and
from Moses Cert and Fanny Cert in
1894: that he built thereon a brick
building. which was burned on April
Is. 1906.
II does not recite. however, that the
heat OF the fire caused Mr.. de Young s
lot 10 expand.

STEAL GOVERNMENT MONEY.

WARSAW. Aug. A telegram from
Libau says that train robbers today be-
tween Libau and Hanpot stole $4,000
of Government money. Eight messen-
gers were wounded in defense OF the
train. Among them were the Consul
General Of Brazil. NJ Won Rupnievsky,
and German named Grundmann.

Francisco. and received money from
about one-third of them. He prac-
ticed the same trick in Santa Rosa and
the rural region thereabout. The
property-owners organized and de-
Tended themselves with success, but
every one of them who wished to sell
his holdings before the case was set
tied had to pay Tripp for a quit
claim deed. After Bensley's death in
1880 his widow followed the same
profession. But her methods were
less skillful than those of her hus-
band, and a criminal action was
brought against her. with such alarm
ing prospects that she committed sui
eide by poison.
John Everding one of the principal
defendants in the suit numbered Ss.
has owned the property since 1864,
and has in his possession the original
deeds He is proprietor of a starch
factory in Berkeley. AT present he is
i'll. and yesterday he could not be
seen. His son, John Everding Jr,
who manages his business In this city,
said he had never heard of this suit
until told of ii by a reporter for The
Call. He said that ne would at once
move toward an association of the
owners affected to make joint defense
against what he terms a barefaced
scheme to blackmail. Further. he
said that he would seek to organize
the same defendants for the purpose
of putting Ball and his associates in
the peniteptiary.
WREDEN WILL FIGHT.
Henry wreden. the brewer, is an
other landholder In one of the dis
puted tracts. He said he had not
been served with any papers, and that
The Calls representative had brought

sociation is another defendant whose
property is large and valuable. AS in
the other cases, the officers of the cor
poration were first apprised of the suit
by The Calls reporter. They ex-
pressed surprise and indignation and
desire to fight.
But among the other defendants may
be some who are negligent. or. more
likely still, some who may not learn
them is secured on account of their
failure to appear and defend their
property. If such there be, there is
trouble in store for them. Such a cloud
upon title is not easily removed. The
new record Will stand, and a counter
suit, to be successful, must clearly es-
tablish the fraudulent character Of the
proceedings. Prompt organization and
vigorous defense are the proper meas
ures to preserve the integrity of titles
thus attacked. Mr. Everding's sug-
gestion of criminal prosecution is based
on the statements made in the aff1-
davit accompanying the complaint,
which are plain and specific. Even
though the original records have been
destroyed. ii may be possible to so
thoroughly disprove them that the gem

Jury to explain,

There has been some talk of re-
viving the camp of the Sons of
Veterans in this city, The matter
will probably be brought up at a
meeting of the Wood County Post G.,
A. 4. In the near future, and if the
efforts that are now being put forth
are successful, the order will again be-
come an active organization. There
was camp Of the Sons of Veterans in
this city some time ago, and while
they have ceased work, we understand
that the charter has never been
surrendered, There is plenty of room
in Grand Rapids for an organization
of the kind, and the patriotic spirit of
the sons Of old soldiers ought to be
strong enough to make this order an
active auxiliary to the G. A. r. There
are number Of the SONS who will be
pleased 10 learn of the success of the
efforts that are being put forth along
this line.
