PETROLEUM INDUSTRY
LEADS IN PRODUCTION
Eight California Counties Yield
4S,3O6,oIO Barrels

That the petroleum industry in Cali
fornia has taken prominent place
among the states industries is strik
ingly evident, according to the report
for the fiscal year 1908, which will
soon be issued by the state mining bu-
reau. Eight California counties. in the
calendar year 1908, produced 4S,306,910
barrels of oil, valued at SIS. 6.566,1S1.
The feature of the value of the pro-
duction is that the petroleum output
is not only great in itself, but actually
outstrips the gold production by
$e,o0O,0 900.
In 10 years the annual output of
California petroleum has increased prac-
tically twentyfold. The gain in pro-
duction of all mineral substances in
1908, as compared with 1907, approx
mates $10,000,000. The combined values
of hydrocarbons and gases produced
in 1908 surpass the total value OF all
mineral substances produced in any
year in California between 1887 and
1897, inclusive of both years, by about
s3,000.000. The following table COM
piled by the state mineralogist shows
the production by years:

MISS LOTTA CRABTREE
Judgment Against Estate of
Edwin FretweIl Satisfied

Miss Lolita NJ. Crabtree, the one time
popular actress who presented Lottas
fountain to this city, yesterday filed
with the county clerk an acknowledge
ment that she had received from +. E.
Sawyer, as administrator of the estate
of Edwin Fretwell, s46.695 in cash and
2,53S shares of the capital stock in the
Western Pacific land company in salts
faction of a judgment rendered in her
favor by Judge Murasky last April.
Fretwell was president of the Ma
tional American bank, and Miss Crab
tree forwarded him some $210. 1000 to in
vest for her. When he died there was
a difference of opinion between Miss
Crabtree and Sawyer as to whether the
stock and money in question belonged
to her or to the estate.
Attorney John Flournoy instituted
suit for her and won the action after a
lengthy trial before Judge Murasky It
is said that the payment to Miss Crab
tree practically depletes the estate of
Fretwell.

NO CONSPIRACY, SAY
COUNTRYMAN AND DAY
Answer Contest of the Will of
Peter Fitzpatrick

r. H. Countryman and Robert Day,
executors of the will of Peter Fitz-
patrick, filed an answer yesterday to
the contest instituted by Ann Fitz-
simmons, an aged cousin of the testa-
tor, who lives in Ireland. Fitzpatrick,
who died at the age of IS, left more
than $4,000 of his $1,000 estate to
Day, and it was charged by Mrs. Fitz-
simmons that the will was the result of
fraud and conspiracy on the part of
Day, Countryman, Thomas II. Clough-
ley, John Bates and others.
The accusations of the contestant
are denied by Countryman and Day.
Both state that. they were unknown
to one another prior to August 20,
1908, the day Fitzpatrick signed his
will. They were also unknown to their
codefendants.
Day, who says he had not seen Fitz-
patrick for year, was sent for by
the dying man on the date mentioned,
and afterward, at the request of Fitz-
patrick. Cloughley went to the office of
Countryman and accompanied him to
the house where the testator was lying.
Fitzpatrick gave instructions for his
will. and Countryman framed the in
strument.

The very best obtainable water supply
is a city's best advertisement and
should be secured almost regardless of
cost. The Spring Valley company
should be allowed a fair compensation
for its plant. The price should be
reached by agreement. 1 am not in
favor of confiscating any mans prop
erty and certainly not a property in
which many small stock holders are in
terested."
FAVORS FAIR GAS RATE
Are you in favor of continuing the
fight made by the incumbent super
visors for an S5 cent gas rate, and
what in your opinion should be the gas
rate?" was the next question.
Il am in favor of a gas rate that
will give a fair return on the invest
ment If on investigation it is found
that S5 cents is fair 1 am for that rate;
If not, the company should have rate
that would result in fair dividends.
That rate should certainly not be more
than 81, and 80 cents is probably
fair rate"
What, in your opinion, Mr. Keil,
should be done by the city in the mat
ter of the United Railroads attempt to
maintain it's monopoly on lower Mar
ket street?"
''If it is a convenience to the public
to run the cars down Market street the
company should be given a franchise al
a fair return. Such a dispute should
be arbftrated. We should make the
best of bad bargain"
Are you in favor of the resubmis-
sion to the people of the proposed
Geary street municipal railroad
bonds?"
Yes. I am in favor OF it,
Are there any other public ques-
tions upon which you wish to express
your views for publications."
yes. would put the streets in good
repair and i would hasten the installa
ton of a system of fire alarm boxes
and their connections. The installa-
ton of a high pressure fire protection
main should be hastened so that the
insurance rates may be reduced Every
citizen is interested. The Insurance
rates the people of San Francisco are
forced to pay are a greater drain on
the city than the taxes. The conse-
quent reduction in insurance rates will
pay for a high pressure system in
three or four years. And we should
make haste in the rehabilitation of
our public buildings so that we can
house our city and county offices and
save the large amounts that we are
now paying out in rents"

AT NINETEEN SUES
SECOND HUSBAND
Lillian Dawes Ran Away and
Married Twice While Under
Legal Age

For the second time in her young life
Lillian Dawes -Mayfield- Fischer vestsr-
oay sought advantage OF the law which
nullifes marriage If the bride be
under age and marries without consent
Oh her parents. Although but little
over 19 she has had two husbands. Each
marriage was a runaway affair.
She commenced suit yesterday for
the annulment of the last marriage
that with William H. Fischer. a miner
whom she welded at Bisbee, Ariz.. July
II, 1907.
Her first husband was Milton May
held of Oakland. who is in the lumber
business. She was school miss of Is
In short skirts when Mayfield courted
ana won her, persuading her to go
through the wedding ceremony without
getting the consent of her mother.
Although the twice married Young
woman will not admit it, it is whis-
pered there is a possibility she may
remarry the man who gained her
childish heart. Mayfeld treated her
kindly, and it was her mother, Mrs.
Dawes, who brought about the annul-
ment of the marriage.
Two years later the precocious miss
met and fell in love with William III.
Fischer, miner. Escaping from her
mothers watchful eye she ran away to
Arizona with Fischer. and in Bisbee
married him. They lived together in
Arizona for four months and then the
young woman returned to her mothers
home.
PREFER THEIR, MOTHER
Yesterday was the sixth day of the
trial of the divorce action of John
Lacy. contractor, against Helen Lacy.
Judge Trout asked the four children
which parent they would prefer to
live with, and they favored the mother,
much to the chagrin of Lacy. The eld-
est of the children is 10.
Without any undue publicity--in
fact, without any publicity at all
Lillian G. Morrison was granted a di-
vorce from Edwin G. Morrison by
Judge Trout yesterday on the report
of Court Commissioner J. s. Tyler. The
divorce was on the ground of deser-
tion. Mrs. Morrison did not appear in
court.
Suit was filed yesterday by Linda
Iliwalana (born Brown to annul her
marriage with Charles Iliwalana on the
ground that she was not of age and
did not have the consent of her parents
when she married the defendant in No
yember, 1908.
Zella Miller was granted a divorce
by Judge Van Nostrand yesterday from
John C. Miller, formerly an architect,
but now boiler maker, on the ground
of cruelty. The same Judge granted
Katherine Koopman a decree of di-
vorce from John c. Koopman for will
full neglect.
Suits for divorce were commenced
yesterday by Clinton M Smith against
Julia Smith, desertion; Mary Martinez
from Manuel Martinez, wifful neglect;

EDWARD A. KEIL IN
RACE FOR MAYOR
Is Fifth and Last Republican to
Qualify as Candidate for
Nomination
Makes Statement Regarding At
titude on Various Issues of
Present Campaign
By GEORGE A. VAN SMITH

Edward A Keil, one of the managers
of the Keil estate, was the fifth and
last republican to qualify for a place
on the primary ballot of his party as
a candidate for the nomination for
mayor. KeiPs advent as a candidate
had no preliminary announcement. He
says he was urged by his friends to
make the race. In any event, he did
enter the race at the last minute, COM
pleted his petition for place on the
ballot and is a candidate for the re-
publican nomination for mayor.
In business circles Keil has been
prominent. In politics he was abso-
lutely unknown until last year, when
he was one of the oln-Roosevelt
leagues successful candidates for del
egate TO the state convention from the
thirty seventh assembly district. He
has some ideas about his campaign that
would be pronounced queer" by the
practical politician. These ideas in
volve leaving the whole matter in
the hands of the people without any at
tempt to influence their decision. They
may take me or leave me-" says Keil.
KEEL MODEL OF TERsENEss
Underlying the direct primary is the
AACOAS AAdb lHc dSplIdnI LOT partisan
and public preferment must go to the
electors of his party on a personal
platform. I asked Keil yesterday, as
have asked other candidates, to tell
the public something of himself and
his views on the issues of the cam
paign. He was a model of terseness.
Here is what he told me in answer to
the same questions as were put to his
opponents:
My full name is Edward August
Keil. was born in San Francisco in
1872. 1 was taken to Germany when
a child and was IN the elementary
schools there for short time. I at
tended the high schools in this city.
Il was employed by the Oceanic
steamship company for eight years in
the capacity of purser. 1 was a di-
rector in the Goldberg, Bowen & Co.
corporation for 10 years. 1 retired
from that concern just before the fire
in 1906 and since that time / have
devoted my time to the management
of the Keil estate. 1 am married and
have two young sons.
Il have never been a candidate for
public Office before and never took an
active interest in politics until two
years ago. I was elected a delegate to
the republican state convention at Sac
ramento last year.
II became a candidate for mayor at
the earnest solicitation of my friends.
I shall not make a big fight for the
nomination. The people may take me
or leave me-"
Are you in favor of the Hetch
Hetchy water project and the acquisi-
tion and development of the proposed
municipal water supply?"
yes, 1 am for it," replied Keil. 'T
am in favor of the acquisition and de-
Velopment of an adequate municipal
water supply. No great community
can be supplied properly by a private

Recorder Edmond Godchaux has filed
his report for the fiscal year 190S-9 with

The business of the office during the

in the number of documents filed, in the
amount of fees received and the excess
of receipts over expenditures.
This fact is graphically indicated in
a comparison made, as follows:
