HALSEY MUST STAY
FOR GRAFT TRIAL
Indicted Man Refused Permis-
sion to Leave Jurisdiction

Doctors disagree as to the physical
condition of Theodore V. Halsey, the
indicted official of the Pacific States
telephone company. Drs. Thomas E.
Shumate, G. J. Sweeney and John
Gallwey have reported several times
that Hslsey is suffering from incip-
lent tuberculosis, supervening upon
the operation for appendicitis more
than a year ago. and also that the
wound caused by the operation has
never fully healed. Upon these re-
ports application was made to the
court to have Halsey removed to south
ern California.
AS against these statements, two in
dependent physicians, Drs Robert Pa
tex and Henry Harris appointed by
the court. reported under date of
February 25 that an examination OF
Halsey disclosed no evidence of tuber-
culosis and that the wound proved
healed.
Judge Dunno has denied the petition
for permission 10 have Haisey taken
out OF the Jurisdiction of the court, and
said that the defendant ought to be in
condition to go to trial in five or six
weeks.
- IcpOEl AlOih DES sweeney
and GaIlwey, dated February 19, stated
that Halsey's condition had slightly
improved since their report of January
16. He was still weak, the physicians
said, and they believed he could moi
undergo the physical strain of a trial
After the reports had been filed
Judge Dunno said that he was in
formed that Halseys condition was
largely a result of the predicament in
which he found himself. He con-
tinued the case two weeks, stating
that he would continue 1t from time to
time until Halsey was in condition to
stand trial.

SEARCH STILL VAIN
FOR LOST NECKLACE
Army of Detectives Fail to Gain

Missing Pearls
Sleuths Now Believe Outsider
Gained Possession of the
Valuable Ornaments

The search for the $4,000 pearl neck
which was lost the morning of the
Mardi Gras bail at the St. Francis hotel
continued yesterday with undated zeal,
although the detectives in charge could
report no progress.
Yesterdays efforts in the field OF in
vestigation hung about the table at
which Miss Crocker sat at supper in the
white and gold room. This table, in
fact, has been the vortex of all the
swirling theories of the detective force.
NEW ELEMENT INTRODUCED
A new element was introduced, how
ever, when it was learned that one of
the men who sat at the table revisited
the white and gold room in quest of his
wife's handkerchief. He was assisted
in the search by two bus boys and the
article was finally located on a chair.
For professional reasons the detectives
IL charge refuse to divulge the name of
the man who revisited the now famous
battle-ground of inquiry.

EQUITABLE LIFE
MAKES BIG GAINS
Assurance Society Has Been
Skillfully Managed by
Paul Morton

Elsewhere in today's Call the policy
holders OF the Equitable life assurance
society in California and the public
generally will find figures of absorb.
ing interest. over the signature of
President Paul Morton. They consti-
tute a comparison of the condition of
the society at the end of 1908 with
that of 1907
The figures are enormous. For in
stance, in a single year there was an
increase in assets of $1S,50O, 900. The
fund set aside with which to pay divi-
dends TO policy holders in 1909 is APP
proXimately S10,000,O00 In every item
that makes for success there was a
decided increase in 1908 over 1907.
showing the skill and economy with
which Paul Morton is conducting this
gigantic institution.
Paul Morton's success is the success
of western man conducting a, national
institution: and as practically an
adopted son of California, his Califor-
MIA friends are rejoicing with him over
the record he is making.
The managers OF the Equitable in
California are much elated over the
manner in which the people have re-
sponded to the Equitable's attitude
toward San Francisco after the great
fire. 1t will be remembered that the
Equitable was the first outside insti-
tuition to make a loan in San Fran
cisco. 1t placed s2,000.000 with James
d. Phelan for the construction of his
Market street building, and followed
this loan with a number of others. AS
result, other eastern institutions put
about $25 600 900 into California. This
transfer of money from the east to the
west may be said to have almost offset
the effect of the panic of 1907 upon To-
cal financial Institutions That Cali
fornians are not unresponsive is evil
denced by the fact that the Equitable's
new business in the state last year
took jump of $50 per cent over that
of 1907.
Just now the Equitable is making
preparations to celebrate its fiftieth
anniversary by writing in 1908 all the
new business permitted by the New
York law for single year-s15 o,ooo,-

success.

is to build at the spor long dock and
have thereon a free public oathhouse
Yesterday a number OF supervisors
were taken around the bay and shown
the different points where water park
could be placed to advantage. In the
party were Supervisors Hooks, MeLe-
ran, Jennings, Connolly Murdoch. Cen
ter. Compile and Murphy. Those rep
resenting the clubs were Paul Carroll

Supervisor McLeran. in speaking of
the project. said:
"All of the supervisors who were on
the trip think the idea most excellent.
The sport at Fort Mason is goOd-and
think would fill the requirements"

OIL POURED ON
FOUNDATION STONE
New Greek Church Scene of Un-
usual Religious Exer=
Cises

With the ceremony of pouring oil
upon the foundation stone the Greek
church was founded at the corner of
Van Ness avenue and Green street yes
terday.
Rev. T. n. Pashkoysky oficiated at
this rite, which was followed by elabo-
rate religious exercises ind prayers
and songs of thanksgiving. in which
more than 25O people participated. The
music. by a choir of 90 under the direc-
tion of V. T. Greevsky. the choirmaster,
unaccompanied by instruments as is
the custom in the Greek church, was a
feature of the exercises.
Another interesting incident was the
ringing of the big bell which was taken
from the tower of the old Greek church
at Powell and Union streets two days
before the disaster in April. 1906. The
members of the congregation regard
the saving of the bell with religious
awe.
Twenty years ago the bell was cast
and given 10 the church as a thanks
giving offering for a miraculous es-
cape of Alexander III and his family
Two days before the Nreat fire the
building occupied by the Greek church
was sold, and the great bell, weighing
5000 pounds, taken down and stored
beyondSthe fire limits. Its mellow note
was heard yesterday for the first time
since that day. 1t is hung in the tower
Of the church. the skeleton OF which
has already been erected
The structure when completed will
be most picturesque in its setting OF
trees and foliage, and will hold 600
people standing. the custom in the
Greek church being to use no chairs
or seats of any kind during divine
service

sion Is Revealed

ALGIERS. Feb. 2s.-The mystery of
the identity Of the sailing vessel which
was rammed by the Belgian steamer
Austria during storm February u
/. near AIberan island in the Mediter-
ranean appears now to be solved.
Both vessels foundered as a result
OF the collision. but 10 of the crew of
the Austria who had put off in small
boat were picked up by the German
steamer Liberia and brought TO Al
fzers. Until today no word of the
fate OF the sailing vessel had been re-
ceived.
The steamer Austria, however, which
arriaed here today, reports having
sighted a ships boat between Cape Fal-

FAMOUS ASTRONOMER
GIVES UP TELESCOPES
instruments Will Be Presented
to Cambridge by Society

Housed in a modest observatory built
in the garden of a private house at
Tulse-hill are at present two telescopes
which have assisted in solving some OF
the greatest riddles of the universe.
The instruments belong to the Royal
society: but since 1871 they have been
in the possession of Sir William Hug
gins, whose spectroscopic investiga-
tions into the chemical constitution and
proper motions of the stars have revo-
lutionized stellar astronomy. For nearly
SO years Sir William has labored in
that Tulse-hill garden. seeking none
of the many honors British and foreign
universities have bestowed on him, but
doing work which has placed him in
the forefront of the worlds astronc-
mers Now in his eighty-fourth year
he is returning to the Royal. society
the instruments with which he has
made so many marvellous discoveries.
and they have been offered to and
accepted by the authorities of the
Cambridge university observatory
