GRAHAM TO TAKE.
PROBATE WORK
Change in Superior Court
Departments Heralds the
Resignation of Ker1igan
GILLETT TO APPOINT

change in the division of work
among the Judges of the Superior
Court will occur on Monday, when
Presiding Judge Graham will assume
the probate work at present allotted
to Judge Kerrigan's department., while
the latter will take up the civil work
Of Department Z. now presided over by
Judge Graham. - The change is made
in accordance with the wishes OF
Judge Graham. who has desired for
some time to give his attention more
particularly to probate matters, and
is now afforded the opportunity to do
SO by reason of Judge Kerrigan's
pending withdrawal from the Superior
bench because of his election as a
Judge of the Court Of Appeal
Judge Graham will assume the cal
endar of Department 10, to which Judge
Kerrigan has been assigned, on Nom
day morning. He will also move into
the courtroom which has been occupied
by Judge Kerrigan in the Temple
Israel while Judge Kerrigan will take
his old courtroom and chambers of
Department Z. which deals only with
civil cases. No change will be made
in the calendars of the two divisions.
except that each Judge will retain
matters which he now has under con-
sideration. The clerks and other at
taches of the courts will remain in
the departments with which they have
been connected instead of making a
change in accordance with that OF the
Judges.
In Judge Kerrigan's case the change
is merely a temporary one 1t is un-
derstood that his resignation will be
filed on January Z, so that his duties
in the new department will extend
only over the period of one week.
Who is to succeed him is matter
that is still undetermined. but 1t is
conceded that the appointment will
not go to Judge Hosmer, but will in
all probability fall on the shoulders
Of Attorney Frank MCGOWAN, as he is
the man chosen for the place by Gov
evnor-elect Gillett, and as in ac-
cordance with the present programme
Judge Kerrigan's resignation will be
withheld until Gillett has taken Of
fee, leaving the appointment >in his
hands instead of to Governor Pardee.
Whoever this appointee is he will
really inherit the work that has been
handled by Judge Graham in Depart
ment z, instead of Judge Kerrigan's s
probate work, on account of the
change In departments that will be
made Monday.
Another change will take place in
the personnel of the Superior bench
Monday. Judge Hosmer's term ex-
pires on that date, and Judge E. p.
Mogan will succeed him and assume
the work of Department 8, with which
he has been connected.
The official commissions of Judges
Thomas F.. Graham, J. ". Coffey, Will
liam P. Lawlor and e. p. Mogan as
Judges of the Superior Court were
received yesterday from Governor Par
dee. The commissions are based on
the recent election of these men and
are dated December "a.

CHINESE: BABY IS
CAUSE Of SUIT

complicated suit for the guardian
ship OF Tam Van, a pretty little Chinese
girl. and for a 3-months-old baby al
legged to be her il1egitimate child, led
to some unusual developments in Judge
Coffey's court yesterday, and has been
continued until the tangle Of facts and
allegations can be Strengthened out
sufficiently to, determine who actually
has the right to the custody of the
girl-mother and her little one.
The case came up on the application
of Miss Carrie Davis of the Chinese
Methodist Mission of Berkeley for let
ters of guardianship for Tam Yam, who
was formerly under the care of the
mission, but who is now in the custody
of another Chinese woman, with whom
she has signified her intention of re-
naming Lee Ying is said to be the
father of Tam Vans child, and Miss
Davis declared that it was the inten-
tion of the mission to allow him to
marry the girl, as he has stated his
wish to do.
When placed on the stand Tam yam
asserted that she was 10 years old,
Margaret Ngn, a Chinese woman, tes-
titled that she heard some Chinese
whose identity she could not estab-
lish urge Tam Yam to perjure herself
by instructing her to give her age
to the court as over 1S years.
While the suit was still in progress
Attorney J. w. Henderson appeared
with an application for letters of
guardianship for an abandoned baby,
supposed to be Japanese infant. He
said that he had no interest in the
Tam Van case, but Miss Davis declared
that she had notified him of it.
Who is this Japanese child?" in
quired the court.
Why, that is Wong Qua Wing, Tam
Vans child" answered one of the wit
nesses in the Tam Yam case.
Called upon to identify the baby. Tam
Yam could not do so, and it was finally
learned that Lee Ying had taken her
child away from her at the time of
its birth and that she had never seen It
Judge Corey declared that the ap-
plication of Henderson appeared to be
peculiar from several standpoints, as
the alleged Japanese baby was in real
ity the child Of Chinese parents. and
as the child was but months old.
while the law requires that the period
of abandonment must be at least one
year before guardianship letters can
issue. He also called attention to the
fact that the mothers consent is neces-
sary to an adoption. even If the child
is illegitimate.
The suggestion was made that the
entire matter mighe be settled ami
cably.
This court will not agree to any
proceedings of that kind" answered the
Judge 1T seems that it is the wish
OF the mission representatives to have
this girl marry the man who has be-
trayed her and so lead her back into
life of shame again. It looks as.
though this rescue was in order to
turn her over to that man.
Miss Davis denied that such was the
intention of those Interested in the
GIRL but the court refused to end the
case without further investigation. and
It has been continued for this purpose.
