YERKEs' WIDOW WEEDS
She Becomes the Wife of Wilson Miz.
ner, a Well Known San Fran.
cisco CAPITALIST.

CISCO SdpieallS1.
San Francisco, Feb. "a special
dispatch received in this city says Will
son Miner this morning positively
confirmed the report of his marriage
TO Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes.
New York, Jan. 31.-Several New
York papers announce today the mar
riage of Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes. widow
Of the traction capitalist, to Wilson
Miner, of San Francisco.
No confirmation of the marriage an
nouncement is obtainable.
When Miner was asked If he would
deny the ma Sc had taken place he
replied he would not.
New York. Feb. 2.-Settlement of
the 100000 Charles T. Yerkes estate
will be held up. Miss Emily Grigsby.
who was the traction magnate's pro-
tege, is about to bring suit against the
executors for a 100000 trust fund.
which she alleges was decided upon
by Mr.. Yerkes, but the details of which
were lott in somewhat embryonic
state because of his sudden death.
! Intimate friends of the young woman
and persons who were in the confidence
Iof Mr.. Yerkes during his final illness
say it was not the expressed intention
of the multi-millionaire to establish %
trust fund for Miss Grigsby; that it
was to be secretly arranged in order to
avoid the unpleasant notoriety that was
bound to follow if it became known,
and they add that since Mr.. Yerkes'
death came before the matter was per-
;fected. she. claiming to have the neces-
!sary proofs to establish her claim, is
now ready to go into court and not
tonly ask for the money. but also to
wine away the suspicious combination
of circumstances that only her uncon-
rnunicativenesS has made possible.

A NOTE OF WARNING.
Nation Has Become Extravasant to al
Alarming Degree, Says
James j. Hill

New York, Feb. 1.-"rhis country to-.
day is like a boy who has inherited Il
big fortune, and is living on it without
earning anything himself" said James
j. Hill, who returned from the west yes
terday.
IT'S all very we'll to talk about our
great prosperity, but we are spending
what has been earned. not what we are
earning now. We are using up our cap
ital. and have become an extravugant
nation"
Hill would not admit the country was
tending toward overproduction, as he
said, II he did people would call him
u croaker.
Consular and other reports show"
he said. that Japan is sending us more
than we are sending to Japan and It
behooves us to be watchful for our pos
sition among commercial nations
During the last few years things
have been so stirred up on account. OF
the Boer and Russo-Japanese wars
that with existing close relation among
nations. it has been difficult to get a
true perspective in commercial and
Industrial matters. But now we can
look around and appreciate our true
position. Look at Great Britain, with
a million men out OF work. Great
Britain is a country With the balance
Of trade against it, and we should take
warning. There are not many more
new continents or lands to open up"

Sheriff Romero has returned from
Trementina in possession of facts that
maks it appear certain that the burning

was really an attempt to conceal most
outrageous crime.

the two women, Mrs. Sanches and a
young school teacher, We're criminaNy
assaulted. murdered and the house
burned to conceal the crimes. Two men
who We're rooming at the house were
drunk during the afternoon. The big
adobe house was on fire for more than
one hour before the floor of the second
story, where the women and child slept,
fell. The charrcd remains Of the WON,
en- were found In the ruins still lying
on the bed and strong evidences of the
crime were still apparent. The two
men were found some distance from thu

fire. but could not account for having
left the women and children upstairs
in the house. One OF the men fed and
the other is said to be in hiding.
