GENERAL EXHIBITION
HELD BY SKETCH CLUB
Fine Collection of Local
Artists Work Opened
to the Public

The Sketch Club exhibition of paint
ings opened yesterday afternoon for
private view. The rooms Of the Sc
quota Club. adjoining the quarters of
the Sketch Club at 1926 California
street, were lent for the occasion. The
president, Miss Anne NJ. Bremen, and
the members of the club acted as host
esses and tea was served. In spite of
the rain about 200 people came in dur
ing the afternoon and all seemed to
be of the opinion that it was one of
the best general exhibitions ever held
in San Francisco.
The Sketch Club includes almost all
the women artists of the city. It's ex-
hibitions have in past years been only
for members, but in view of the dis
rupted condition of the city. the artists
being scattered and the facilities for
exhibiting work no longer what they
were, the members of the Sketch Club
decided to extend a general invitation
to all the men and women artists of
the city. The response has been quite
general, and the amount of work sub
mitted has been so great that much has
been rejected simply because of lack
of room. Among the artists outside
of the club who have contributed are
Keith, Mathews and Mrs. Richardson.
The exhibition will be open to the
public from l to 5 every day, includ-
ing Sundays.

ARGUE SUIT BROUGHT To
SECURE STANFORD FUND
Legal Points in Regard to
Charges of Fraud Are
Threshed Out

The demurrer of the defendants In
the action instituted by Annie F. Stan
ford, widow of Asa P. Stanford, against
the executors of the will of Jane L.
Stanford to collect $608,000 alleged to
be due under an agreement made with
Senator Stanford before his death, was
argued yesterday in Judge Seawell' 8
court. The suit is based on the alleged
agreement of Senator Stanford to al
low his brother a certain monthly sum
in consideration of his retirement as a
director of the Central Pacific, and to
turn over certain stock at the time Of
his death. This agreement later under
went several notifications, and Asa
Stanford finally assigned his entire in
terest to Mrs. Leland Stanford for $10,-
900. Asa Stanford died in 1905 and his
widow claims he was deprived of his
rights through fraud and fear exercised
by Senator and Mrs. Stanford. Her
suit is to recover under the terms of
the original agreement.
Judge S. F. Leib of San Jose, who
appeared with Mountford s. Wilson as
counsel for the executors, argued in
favor of the demurrer. He claimed
that the statute of limitations had run
against the demand and that it was
void through laches. that no offer had
ever been made to restore the 1000
paid IN settlement of the claim against
the estate, and that the widow of Asa
Stanford had no right of action, as an
action based on fraud Is not assignable.
Attorney Cameron H. King urged in
behalf of Mrs. Annie Stanford that she
had a right in equity regardless of
whether she could recover at law. He
asked permission to submit the case
regarding the statute of limitations on
briefs. The permission was granted,
and the case taken under submission
until the briefs are filed, when 1t will
be taken under consideration for judg-
ment by the court

POWERS RESTS CASE
KENTUCKY MURDER TRIAL.
NEAR END.
Politician Who Has Fought for Life for
Eight Years Expects Verdict
Next Week.

GEORGETOWN. KY, Dec. 2S.-With the
issuing in of the new year Caleb Powers
will probably know his fate. He has
struggled for nearly eight years against
his prosecutors claim that he is guilty
of completely in the murder OF William
Goebel.
Thrice he has been found guilty. his
punishment fixed at life in the penitentiary
twice, and at death the last trial.
He believes this jury will set him free,
because it is nearer non-partisan than any
Of those that nave heretofore sat in his
case.
The defense completed its side of the
case with some contradiction of the testi-
mony of the star witnesses, Henry Yout-
sey, Robert Noakes and Wharton Golden.
1t was shown by the stenographic notes
that at former trials both Noakes and
Youtsey had failed to testify to matters
they dwelled upon at this trial and that
Golden had boosted that he got immunity
for swearing against his former assoc
GATES.
Caleb Powers took an active part in his
trial again, and watching the progress
of the trial were q number Of prominent
attorneys from different parts of the
country, including Judge Thurman, OF
Boston.
The rebuttal testimony Of the prosecu-
ton was for the purpose of contfadicting
witnesses who declared Jim Howard was
at the Board OF Trade Hotel. The pro-
rrietor said Howard was not there.
Youtsey claims Howard fired the shot
and Howard claimed that he was at the
Board of Trade Hotel when Goebel's body
was taken by the place.
