NAMED BULLOCK
ADMINISTRATOR
Compromise Between Father
and Daughter Said to Have
Been Effected
Probating Has Been Postponed
for Two Weeks by
Judge Buck

REDWOOD CITY, Aug. 20-The Bull
lock Will case proved disappointing TO
large gathering of sensation hunters
In the superior court this morning, as
the whole proceedings before Judge
Buck occupied very short time. Mrs.
Builock, who was the wife of District
Attorney j. ]. Bullock. died on May 16
OF this year and left the greater por-
tlon or her property to her husband,
cutting off her only married daughter,
Mrs. Carmelita Kendall. without a cent.
Shortly after the filing Of the will
Mrs. Kendall instituted a suit, claiming
that undue influence had been used on
the part of Bullock and objecting to
the probating of the will with the dis
trict attorney as special administrator.
Bullock's petition for letters of special
administration came up before Judge
Buck this morning and the papers were
granted without a hitch, the district
attorney being appointed administrator
or his wife's estate, which Is valued
at s150,000, and his bonds being placed
at $4,000.
Although no statement was given out
by the parties in the case a settlement
is said to have been effected whereby
Bullock viii receive one-third of his
wife's estate, the remainder being di-
vided among the three daughters. I'm
der the terms of the will Bullock was
to receive the income of the estate for
life, with the privilege of investing the
principal Mrs. Kendalrs attorneys,
Peter F. Dunno. Martin Stevens and
Archer Kincaid. were prepared to show
the unfitness of Bullock as an admins
traitor If a proper compromise had not
been reached with their client. The
probating of the will was set over for
two weeks by order of the court.

DAVIS. Aug. 20.-Much interest is be-
ing shown in the course in poultry hus-
bandry to be given at the university

foreman of the Petaluma poultry sta
tion and will instruct in judging fowls,
a subject in which he has won several
medals.
The all important problem of poultry
diseases will be handled by two well
known veterinarians. DIR. Haring Is as
sistent veterinarian to the agricultural
experiment station, while DR.. McNair is
a practicing veterinarian of Berkeley

Number to Secure Downfall of
SauSaIit0 Trustee
Enter Dan Mclean to Take the
Nomination Away From
Gambling Advocate


SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 2o.-L. c. Pisto-
lesi, town trustee of Sausalito, attorney
for the poolrooms and Marin county
supervisor, has ahead of him the fight
of his life for denomination for the
last named office. Some of the county s
best known republicans will battle on
the floor of the convention against him
if he manages to defeat Dan Mclean in
the supervisorial convention of the
third district. The district includes
Sausalito, Mill Valley Richardson,
Tiburon. Belvedere and Bolinas.
Sausalito's Is delegates won out last
league. whose ticket was anti-poolroom
The remainder of the district has p
delegates and it is strongly against the
poOlrooms. Pistolesi, however, has been
busy in Bolinas, where it was rumored
for a time that he had two of the
three. which would give him q ma
jority. Later reports indicate that the
delegation has gone back solid for Nc
Lean.
The district attorney is now trying
to eXterminate the poolrooms as public
nuisances. They claim their licenses
were granted by Sausalito's trustees
two of whom, Ed Shoemaker and f. D
Lindsay, are on the delegation with
Pistolesi.
Such men as John w. Atherton OF
Novato, r. ]. Davis of Ross, w. G. Nor

LEOPOLD GIVES Up
HIS CONGO STATE
Belgian Chamber of Deputies
Passes Bill Confirming Treaty
for Annexation

BRUSSELS, Aug. 20.-The chamber
of deputies today adopted the Congo
treaty by 345 to 244 votes. The Congo
treaty bill passed its second reading so
to 4S.
The action of the chamber of depu-
ties means that the annexation of the
state to Belgium is now practically as
sured, as the senate and King Leopold
are ready to indorse the bill. The per-
sonal rule of King Leopold in Africa is
now drawing to a close In the future
he will have nothing to do with the
state, which is to be administered by
Belgium-and the hope is widespread
that there will now be an end to the
atrocities and maladministration in
the Congo which, for years past, has
been a subject of investigation and
bitter complaint by humanitarians all
over the world.
The members of the cabinet and King
Leopold held a long conference this
afternoon after 1t was officially an
nounced that in order to avoid the dam
ger of a collapse of the annexation
movement the government had decided,
in a spirit of conciliation, to accept the
action of the chamber with regard to
Congo finances. The members of the
ministry will, therefore, retain their
portfolios.
King Leopold has agreed to abandon
the crown domain and the crown foun-
dation to Belgium, stipulating that Bel
gium should assume all the Congo OBJ
legations, amounting to $21 900, 900.
Under the terms of the treaty, Bel
gium is required to respect the conces-
sions granted to two American compa-
nies in 1905, in which Thomas F. Ryan
Is interested, and the Congo.s revenues
are charged with annual allowances to
the king and members of his family
King Leopold retains in fee simple
10000 hectares of land at Mayumbe for
coffee and cocoa growing experiments,
and during his lifetime he is to enjoy
his interests in the Congo concession
ary companies and the property in Bel
gium and France, which he purchased
out Of the funds of the Congo founda-
ton. Upon the death OF the king all
this property will revert to Belsiunl.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug 20.-The
work OF reform is making considerable
progress. The standing of the sultan's
military household has been consider
ably cut down, the number OF his aides

PLAN TO ELECT JUDGES
Delegate Purposes to Remove
Judiciary From Politics

BERKELEY, Aug. 20.-The nomina-
ton and election of supreme justices,
appellate justices and superior judges
by nonpartisan direct primary or peti-
tfon and ballot is the plan to be pre-
sented to the republican county con-
vention for Endorsement Saturday as a
part of the platform.
S. n. Wyckoff, a delegate from this
city, is the father of the proposition.
He purposes to remove the higher judi
ciary absolutely from the domain of
partisan politics. He would have all
nominations made by direct primary or
by petition. On the ballot the candi-
dates for judicial positions would ap-
pear In column separate from party
nominees, without any designation to
show political faith or the source of
support of the several candidates.
Wyckof has embodied his views in a
resolution which will be offered to the
convention as possible solution of the
desired removal OF the judiciary from
part in political contests.

GOODS LOANED TO
MRS. CHADBOURNE
Mrs. Gardner Disclaims Knowl-
edge of Transportation of
Art Goods to This Country

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.--If a criminal
charge is brought 1t is stated that it
will allege conspiracy between Mrs.
Gardner, Mrs. Chadbourne and third
woman whose name has not been made
public. However. Assistant District
Attorney Davis stated today that his
Office had taken absolutely no action
save to receive a routine report from
the customs officials. In cases alleged
found very difficult to prove intent
to defraud the government.
Henry w. Swift, counsel for Mrs.
Gardner, said today:
Mrs. Gardner has not been abroad
since the summer of 1906. She stored
the tapestries and busts with an agent
in Paris before meeting Mrs. Chad
bourne. Mrs. Gardner allowed Mrs.
Chadbourne to put some of the things
into the London house to keep until
Mrs. Gardner wanted them. Mrs. Chad
bourne came here four or five weeks
ago and told of the difficulties they
were having. Mrs. Gardner heard moth
ing more about the matter until a spe-
cial agent of the treasury department
from Chicago came to Boston and
called on Mrs. Gardner. She had no
trouble with him at all. Since his visit
she has heard nothing more.
"She has not paid any money for
duties on the goods brought by Mrs.
Chadbourne. She did not make any
arrangements to have Mrs. Chadbourne
bring them in. Apparently Mrs. Chad
bourne thought she would be doing
Mrs. Gardner a kindness to bring the
articles along"
BOSTON, Aug. 20.-Mrs. John L.
Gardner, in an interview credited to
her by morning newspaper, acknowl-
edges her ownership of the art goods
which have been seized by customs Of
ficials in Chicago, because of having
been brought into this country by Mrs.
Emily r. c. Chadbourne under an al
legged false declaration in which the
goods were declared as household ef-
fects," but declares she did not know
of Mrs. Chadbourne's intention to
bring them TO this country.
The statement attributed to Mrs.
Gardner is in part as follows:
THE customs department has always
prosecuted me and 1 have paid thou
sands OF dollars of duty upon objects
of art as a result of their impositions.
The goods in Chicago belong TO me.
