Baby Day at the Associated

Baby day at the Associated Charities
yesterday was a great success.

been "out to board" or adopted were
brought for inspection to Miss Cath
crime FELTON,, the great foster mother
of them all; DR.. Annie Lyle, their Off
cial physician, and DIR. Adelaide Brown,
assistant inspector for love.
There was not sick baby in the
lot-nOt even a peevish one. And to
see the happy, smiling, prosperous
foster mothers, many of them in sheath
gowns and other evidence of affiuence,
one could find little cause for wonder
at this.
There were two infants adopted by
well to do women who had found the
exact style of infant they had been
longing for after months of searching.

There are now 220 infants in care

JURISDICTION THE
QUESTION AT ISSUE
Cotton Estate Securities Are the
Bone of Contention in C0n=
tempt Proceedings

On contempt proceedings, the oues-
tion of whether the superior court OF
San Francisco or the superior court Of
Santa Cruz county has jurfdiction over
the 100000 worth of cash and Sc
curities belonging to the Cotton es
tate and deposited with the California
Safe Deposit and Trust company. was
threEhed out before Judge Seawen yes
terday and taken under advisement.
The administrators of the estate,
Messrs. Dahlgren and CresweH, last
January secured an order from Judge
Lucas Smith of Santa Cruz county di
recting Receiver LIE Breton of the in
solvent bank to pay over the cash and
securities to them Upon lie Breton
refusing TO obey the order they had
him cited for contempt OF court.
lie Bretons reply to that move was
an order citing Dahlgren and Cress-
well, as well as their attorneys Charles
W. Slack and ]. T. Riley, to show
should not be punished for contempt
for proceeding against lie Breton in
Santa Cruz county.
Attorney Magee, attorney for the re-
ceiver, argued yesterday that the ad-
ministrators of the Cotton estate
Snould nave Iugated their claim for
the property in San Francisco before
Judge Seawell.
Attorney Slack. in reply. set up the
contention that the Cotton securities
and money were deposited with the
California Safe Deposit and Trust com
pany under the terms Of the act OF
1891, and that the property therefore
remained under the control of Judge
Smith of Santa Cruz county, in whose
court the Cotton estate was probated.
He claimed that the superior court of
San Francisco has no jurisdiction over
the property.
