MOTHER WANTS $4,000

Mrs. Caroline Painter Charges
Fraud by Edgar Painter

Edgar Painter, secretary of the North
central Improvement club and manager
of the Painter estate, was charged by
his mother, Caroline Painter, in a COM
plant for damages fled in the superior
court yesterday with procuring her sig
nature to lease by deceit. Mrs.
Painter claims $4,000 damages from
her son. She says he fraudulently in
duced her to sign a contract which
gave him. for 500 a month, possession
of property at the southwest corner of
SSansome and washington streets. The
lot and building thereon are worth
$500 a month, Mrs. Painter says.
Painter is also accused of having, in
pursuance of his scheme, suppressed a
other son, Eugene. Mrs. Painter, who
is a widow, rs years of age, owns a
746-I000th interest in the property,
Walter, Jerome and Eugene Painter
owning the remainder. She signed the
at the home of Edgar Painter, the de-
fendant He at that time held her
power of attorney and she says she re-
posed great trust in him. Painter per-
emptorily insisted that his mother
should sign, she asserts, telling her the
lease would not he put in operation un-
til the other lessons had examined 1t,
She wrote to Eugene Painter, asking
him to get the opinion of competent
businessman, and it is this letter she
says Edgar Painter suppressed:
Since the signing of the lease the de-
kfendant has collected $12,500 from his
tenants on the land.

GIANT RAILWAY
! MERGER ASSURED
San Francisco by Santa Fe Viii
Be Linked to Five Ports
on Atlantic
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

lSPccfdf DBpdfch 10 ne (duJ
BOSTON, Nov. 10.-The assured
election of President Charles S. Mel
len of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, as president of the
Boston and Maine. marks long
planned elimination of the most stu
pendous railway combination ever
known, and which, when thoroughly
effected, will link five of the greatest
ports on the Atlantic coast to San
Francisco, the great port of the Pa
cific, with bands of steel
The mileage of the combine in the
system will be in excess of 10000
miles, or more than one eighth of the
total mileage of the whole country.
Rumors are prevalent in the railroad
world that a combination between
the Pennsylvania system, which has
a trackage of 11,262 miles, and the
Santa Fe railroad. operating 9,430
miles. is to join with the New Haven
in forming this giant transcontinental
of 30,05S miles of railroad. which will
also. include the Boston and Maine, and
the New York, Ontario and Western.
Nearly 10000 miles of railroad are
involved in the present practical mer-
ger of the Maine and New Haven
roads which, though still bearing sep
crate names, are to be administered
practically as one company.
The meaning of the move is that the
New Haven road has come out in the
open and will take possession of the
Boston and Maine, with all that this
implies, and will assume all the re-
sponsfbility to the public which has
given its assent to the merger.

LINDLFY CHOSEN
PRESIDENT OF BAR
California Association Organized
at Convention of Delegates
From Thirty Counties
Meeting Indorses Erskine M.
Ross as Candidate for United
States Supreme Court

With enthusiasm prophetic of future
greatness and influence, the new Cali
fornia bar association was launched
yesterday by the convention of dele
gates from nearly 80 counties of the
state, assembled at the st. Francis
hotel as guests of the San Francisco
bar association. Organization was
completed, constitution and bylaws
adopted, officers elected and consider
able preliminary business disposed of.
To Judge Curtis H. Lindley, presi-
dent of the local bar association, fell
the honor of being unanimously chosen
as the executive head of the state body
for the coming year. Judge NJ. K. Har-
ris of Fresno, Lynn Helm of Los An
geles and F. w. Street of Tuolumne
county were selected as vice presi-
dents representing the three appellate
districts of the state. The other Off
GERS elected were Ernest j. Mott of San
Francisco, secretary, and Thomas w.
Robinson of Los Angeles, treasurer.
NEXT MEETING IN SOUTH
Lynn Helm of Los Angeles, in be-
half of the Los Angeles bar associa-
tion, extended an invitation to the state
body to hold its next annual meeting in
November. 1910. in that city as guest of
the Los Angeles association, and the
invitation was accepted.
In the first grist of business to re-
ceive the attention of the newly formed
association was the formulation of a
tribute to Justice Erskine NJ. Ross of
the circuit court of appeals, in the
form of resolution indorsing him for
a place upon the supreme bench of the
United States to fill the existing va

yers, but was upheld by several local
attorneys, while many of the country
lawyers argued earnestly in favor of
the adoption of the committee report.
Several of the speakers pointed out
that the fear of any hostility was
nothing more than imagination, and
that any member of the association
paying his dues should have the right
to vote on all matters. Only by such a
method, it was further asserted could
a large membership be secured and
sustained The. proponents of the COM
mittee report won the day and the con-
stitution was adopted as reported in
this particular. The only amendment
to the original draft of the constitu-
tion which carried was one providing
that members holding judicial positions
should not hold office or committee
places within the association. The by
laws were adopted without discussion,
a per capita tax of 81 was assessed
upon the members of all constituent
associations and the membership fee of
the state association was set at SIS.
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL NAMED
The names of the officers chosen to
guide the association during the com
ing year were reported by nomination
committee consisting of Judge j.. K.
Law of Merced, Warren Olney Jr. of
San Francisco and R. ]. Dillon of Los
Angeles. Adjournment without day
was taken after the passage of resolu-
tions thanking the local association
for its entertainment of the visiting
delegates, and after the chair had re-
ceived the selections of the various
county associations for places upon the
legislative council, which will be the
chief executive body of the association
between annual meetings, appoint
ments to membership in the Legislative
council were made as follows from the

HENRY CROCKFR
HURT IN RUNAWAY
Horses Become Frightened and
Only Bystanders Prevent
More Serious Accident

In a runaway accident late Sunday
afternoon, in which fatal outcome
was avoided by the narrowest of mar
gins, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Crocker of
Washington and Octavia streets were
slightly injured and suffered a severe
nervous shock The accident occurred
at Golden gate avenue and Steiner
street, and only the timely assistance
given by two bystanders prevented a
much more serious outcome.
Mr. and Mrs. Crocker were in high
cart drawn by two horses, which
Crocker was driving tandem. The
animals became frightened as they
neared Steiner street and started to
run. Crocker endeavored to hold them,
but before getting them under control
was obliged to back the rig into the
curb Two passersby .sprang to the
bits of the horses and assisted in stop
ping them, but only in time to pre-
vent a. more serious accident.
As it was, the light trap was cramped
against the curb and overturned, pre-
cipitating both its occupants to the
sidewalk. Crocker escaped with minor
| injuries, which did not prevent him
from attending to his business Mon
day, but Mrs Crocker's fall was more
serious and she was confined to her
home until yesterday afternoon.
THE shock was the worst part OF
| the whole affair."" said Mrs. Crocker
yesterday. II really don't know how
