McPherson's family as If they were his
own children
After the disaster Of last April, Ar
thur Magill went East He fell IN with

alleged, they took advantage of his
poor mental condition at that time TO
secure deeds and mortgages to prac-
tically all OF his real property, which is
situated in Oakland, San Francisco, San
Jose and Contra Costa County and in
Winnipeg, Manitoba AS soon as Ma
gilIs friends in Oakland learned Of
these transactions through the record
ing Of various instruments affecting
his realty here, they commenced an in
vestigation.
The result was that Mcpherson ap-
piled for letters of guardianship to
protect the young man against the op-
orators in the East and to get back his
property for him If possible. Percy
Magili, the brother, also asked for let
ters, but they Were granted to Nc

merely cost him in the neighborhood of
$4,000. Msgill is said to have given
Probst $4,000 to speculate for him in
the Chicago wheat pit and to have lost

A Dutchman's Honeymoon.

Did you ever figure how necessary it was
to make people laugh? Every time you
hand out a laugh you make someb body
happy. Frank l.. Whittier and his clever
coterie Of comedians are handing out more
laughs to the minute than the majority OF
farce comedy attractions. In IA Dutch
mans Honeymoon" which they present
at the opera house next Thursday even
ing, May %, they have one OF the best
laugh provokers produced in late years.
The experience OF Hans Snitzle and his
bride is laughable in the extreme. The
comedy is devoid Of the usual slap stick
horse play so much in vogue OF late.
Witty, refined comedy, literally inter-
spersed with catchy music and pleasing
specialties furnish an evening OF enjoy
ment seldom attainable.
