.SILER SUES FOR
FIFTY THOUSAND
REFEREE SILER CHALLENGES
NELSON'S MANAGER TO PROVE
THE CHARGES OF FRAUD.

George Siler has commenced a $780,

Battling Nelson, in Chicago. These
are the statements Nolan made

of being the crook he proved"
Fully so seconds elapsed after the

fight between Battling Nelson and Joe

for $4,000 damages in the Superior
Court against Nelson and his manager,
Billy Nolan 1t is based on alleged
slanderous statements given out imme-

PENDANTS in which they accused Siler Of
having been paid to throw the fight to

Especial stress will be laid upon the
alleged charge by Nolan that he knew

This is the first suit ever commenced

do so in a court of law. and there Is
not a sportsman who attended the

S OPHY of KR AVONI
By NTHONY HOPE

report suggest any other ground for refusal? If
did, it was one which, to the Kings mind, would
seem more understandable still
There is no big game without tSlriSk; but after
full consideration Stenovcs and Stafnitz decided
that the Kings wishes were their interest and
should be communicated to the Prince without
delay. They had more chances for them than
against them. If their game fell short of certainty
we'll the time might be very short.
In these days Countess Ellenburg made prac-
tCe of shutting herself up her private rooms for
as much two additional hours every day She
told the King that she sought quiet time for med
ltatlOn and prayer. King Alexis shrugged his
shOulders-meditation wouldn't help matters, and
in face of DR.. Natchefs diagnosis of the condi-
ton of his heart he must confess a serious doubt
even about PRAYER. He had outived his love for
the Countess; but to the end he found in her a
source of whimsical amusement, divning, if not her
amb tons, at least her regrets understanding how
these regrets when they became acute had to be
met by an access of piety Naturally they would
be acute now, in view of Natcheff's diagnosis He
thanked her for her concern and bade her by all
means go and pray.
What was the stuff of her prayers-the stuff
behind the words? No doubt she prayed for her
husbands life. No doubt she prayed for her sons
wIl-being. Very likely she even prayed that she
might not be led into temptation or to do any
thing wrong by her love for her son; for it her
theory that the Prince himself would ruin his
chances and throw the crown away. 1t is not
easy always to be sure of consci ous insincerity.
Yet the devils advocate would have had small
difficulty in placing fresh face on her prayers, in
exhibiting what lay below the words, in suggesting
how 1t was that she came forth from her secret
deVotions not happy and tranquilized, but with
weary eyes and her lips close set in stern
self-control. Her prayer that she might do nothing
wrong a prayer that the Prince might do
nothing right. If that prayer was granted, sin
her part would become super1uous. She prayed
not to be led into temptation-that sounded
quite orthodox; she to presume to suggest
to Heaven, and an infinite Creator the means by
which temptation should be avoided?
Stenovics sllilfu1ly humored this
shade of hypocrisy. When he

the result business took rather longer to transact
the church-going phrases ran to many sylables;
but concessions must be made to piety. Nor was
the Countess singular; should often forgo
what like best if obliged to define it
accurately and aloud.
After of these conferences the Countess always
prayed; it may be presumed that she prayed against
the misfortune of a cast-iron terminOlogy Prob
ably she also urged her views-for prayer is in
many books and mouths more of argument than
a petItlon-that all marriages on one and the
same footing and that Heaven knew naught of a
particular variety named in some countries morga-
matte OF the keeping OF contracts made contrary
to the presumed views of Heaven, we are all aware
that churches and sometimes States too are likely
to know or count nothing.
Such the and her mind. Some Dity
may go out to her. In the end, behind all her
prayers and inspiring them-nay driving her to
her knees in fear-was the conviction that she
risked her soul, When she felt that she pleaded
that it was for her sons sake. Yet there lay years
between her and mans estate the power was
for some one during those years

whole of the Prince of Savna's stay
The King shot glance at Countess Ellenburg;
she looking prirn and grim. He looked also at
Stafnitz, who bit his mustache without quite hiding
an intentional but apparently rrepressible smile.

meant that it much better to jockey the Prince
out of his throne than to fight him for it.
Colonel Stafnitz bit his lip and gnawed his
tache during these interviews. The Countess saw
and hated him. She turned back to Stenovics'
church-going phrases and impressive face Through

and only object of all their hopes and efforts. In

IN Savna DR.. Natchef continued his reassuring

But the state of mind of the few people be

was the ruling thought and the governing fact. 1t

out warning. The secret well kept but to
those to whom he spoke at all Natcheff spoke
openly. The Kings life hung a thread which
the least accident might break. With perfect
quiet and tranquility he might live year, possibly
two years; any shock or overstrain would precip-
itate the end. Countess Ellenburg and her con-
tidential friends knew this, the King knew it him
self, and Lepage his valet knew 1t. There the
possession of the secret stopped.
The King was gay and courageous courage, at
least he had never lacked. He seemed almost
and why not an end? An end swift, without pain,
without waiting? There much to be said for
it. Lepage agreed with his master and told him so
in his usual blunt fashion; they agreed together
not to cry about it, and the King went fishing still.
But the time short, and he pushed on his one
great idea with a zeal and earnestness foreign to
his earlier habit. He would see his son married or
at least betrothed, before he died; he would
see the great marriage in train-the marriage
which was to establish forever the rank and
prestige of the House OF StetanOWtch. The
Prince of Slavna must set forth on his travels,
seeking wife. The King even designated a
Princess of most qnquestlonables e s
altedness as the first object OF his
sons attentions or pursuit.
With an unusual peremptOrlness
and an unusual independence, he sent
Stenovcs orders to communicate his
wishes directly to the Prince.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.-The
earthquake ended both the life of old
John r. Hite and the famous litigation
which revolves about his name.
He died this morning of the great
shock and a petition for special letters
of administration on his large estate
was the first paper to be filed in the
new county clerks office opened on the
morning of April "a.
The petitioner is Lucretia ". Grove
his sister, and the last one left of the
family. The estate consists of real
property and about 100000 in bank
stock.
Was a Pioneer
John R. TIite was one of the pioneers
He married by common law contract
a beautiful Indian girl who bore him
drawn before the public eye until his
bitterly fought action for divorce and
a division of the community property
was begun.
The divorce was brought when Hite
tired of his aboriginal companion and
married a woman of his own race. Court
proceedings finally ended in a small
compromise by which Mrs. Hite, the
Indian, obtained only $4,000, when she
expected over $4,000.
The case reached the supreme court
and in rendering his opinion Justice
Mcfarland concluded with a sentence
which has crystallized into an axiom of
the California bar. He said:
1T is evident that the objection of
the defendant to this woman is not that
she is an Indian, but that she is an
old Indian"

Arrival of Steamer Alameda Brings
First Account of the Manner

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, April 25.-The
steamer Alameda arrived today from
Honolulu having on board supply of
sugar, at present badly needed, which
will probably be distributed by the re-
lief committee.
The cargo included 10000 sacks of re-
fined sugar and over $4,000 sacks of the
raw material, together with a quantity
of coffee, some rice and 1000 punches OF
bananas.
News of the earthquake and fire was
received at Honolulu a few hours be-
fore the scheduled departure of the
vessel.
First Officer P. Anderson said:
1.-THE Alameda was to have cleared
for this port an hour after the earth
quake but the few details of the dis
aster received before cable operations
were suspended induced the agent to
hold the Alameda until the next morn
ing.
Thousands Await News
During all that time we received no
further information.
Extras issued on Wednesday made
public what was known of the catastro-
phe and thousand people crowded
around the cable office trying in vain
to send messages to friends or relatives
in San Francisco.
"The voyage was by no means an en-
joyable one as several of the officers,
including Captain Dowdell and most Of
the crew, have families or friends in
this city. For six days we remained in
utter ignorance of the fate that had
overtaken them. We spoke to no out
ward bound vessels and knew nothing
of the destruction until the Alameda
was boarded outside the heads.

Session Now
Legislation in Haste Is
Disastrous
Citizens Promised That Eventually
Every Question Will Be Con-

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
OAKLAND, April Ex-Governor
Pardee announced tonight that he
would call a special session of the
Legislature for the purpose of taking
action on the San Francisco fire situa-
ton.
The date for the session will not be
set until the excitement has subsidized.
I'm regard to the calling of a special
session of the legislature for the pur-
pose of relieving the distress brought
about by the recent earthquake and
subsequent fires and for the purpose of
modifying our laws and the state con-
stitution to comport with the new con-
ditions which have arisen and will
arise in the near future as a result
thereof, it appears that an extra ses-
sion is necessary.
Should Not Be Held Now
But it does not appear that it would
be wise to call the legislature together
until we have had time to settle down
from the excitement and the shock oc-
casioned by our misfortune, and hav-
ing had time and opportunity to sur
vey the field, determine just what we
need.
1.-THE destruction of public records is
apparently so complete that many
changes in the laws of the constitu-
ton will be necessary to remedy the
defects.
1--WE do not yet know the full results
of the earthquake, but we do know
that many of the state buildings are
badly damaged and some of them en-
tirely destroyed.
