LEFT A FORTUNE
BY GRATEFUL Man
Oakland Hotel Proprietor Will
Get Half Million From
the Zook Estate

OAKLAND, Nov. I'M. G. Scribner,
proprietor of the Galindo hotel, who
befriended the late ]. w. zook and was
rewarded by being made executor of
his will and legatee of half of his for
tune, will come into possession of $5Oe,-
600 more then he expected If the news
J. Zook, is accurate. 1t was thought at
first that Zools left about 100000. Ac-
cording to young Zook assets valued
at $1,000.000 more, consisting of Mexi-
can mining and agricultural lands, be-
long to the estate.
Though no action has vet been taken
and H. J. Zook declines to say whether
or no he will contest his fathers will,
such a contest is. probable: the children
of the deceased being displeased that
half of their fathers fortune should
have been bequeathed out of the fam
lily.
The elder Zook was a pioneer mining
man of Arizona. He also engaged in
commercial enterprises in that terri
tory and amassed a large fortune. He
died last week at the Galindo hotel
after an illness of year and half
Scribner was devoted to him.
His son arrived in Oakland today and
immedia tely began an investigation OF
the affairs of the estate. Besides this
son two daughters. Mrs. w. C. Krieger
of Philadelphia and Miss Mabel Zook,
are living.

INDUSTRIAL. WORKERS
JAILED AS RIOTERS
Seven Members of Organization
Held Without Bail

SPOKANE Nov. More. than 150
members of the industrial workers OF
the world were arrested here today on
charges of disturbing the peace by
speaking upon the streets without per-
mission of the authorities.
Riots appeared to be imminent during
the day, but tonight the leaders an
nounced that there would be no night
street gatherings because of the danger
of serious disorder.
Two companies of the national guard
and the fire department have been Or
dered to assist the police. If asked for
help. -.
Seven of the leaders of the industrial
workers were arrested. including three
women. for having melted a riot. They
are James Wilson, editor of the.I. w. w.
paper; James p. Thompson, A. F.. Cous-
ins and George Clark, Ann Arquet, lisa :
bell Huxtable and Edith Fernet They
are being held without bonds.
Thompson had been arrested before,
but Justice Mann dismissed the pris-
oner on the ground that the ordinance
under which the arrest was made was
class legislation and therefore uncon-
stitutional. The second arrest of
Thompson and of all the others in. jail
tonight was based upon another ordi-
nance even more sweeping in its char
acter than the one to- which Justice
Mann objects.

DOUBT EXEMPTION
OF REGENTS LOANS
Berkeley Councilmen Order In
quiry Made Into Law on
State Property


BERKELEY. Nov. 2.-To discover
whether loans made by the regents Of
the university are exempt from taxa
tion. which is commonly held, the coun-
Gil of this city has called upon City
Attorney Frank d. Stringham to inves-
tigate the law on the subject and re-
port to the council. 1t is estimated
that at least $4,000 is lost to the city in
taxes yearly by reason of the fact that
money is loaned and mortga ges taken
by the regents of the university.
When the Wright building case came
up for adjustment two years ago, when
the former assessor levied a tax on the
loan of the regents, the old board of
trustees. sitting as a board of equiliza
ton, refunded the money.
In case Attorney Stringham returns
a report that the loans of the regents
are not subject to taxation this will
serve as the instructions of the council
to the assessors office.

NATURALIST MAKES
PL[AfORR REDWOOD
H. w. Fairbanks Believes That
Native Tree Is Best for
Streets OF Berkeley

BERKELEY, Nov. I'll. W.. Fair
banks, geographer and naturalist of
North Berkeley, has stepped into the
breach in the controversy between
Architect A. w. Smith and Professor
Jepson of the university about what
trees are most suitable for planting as
street shade trees and declares that
for the purpose and offers a beauty not
known in other species. Fairbanks
said:
For parts of Berkeley. especially the
NIL district, where the houses are not
generally so crowded, the redwood is
one of the most suitable as we'll as
pleasing trees. It's graceful, airy foli-
age is a delight to the eye and is the
one thing which makes such places
as Mill Valley so attractive.
1t is much less Objectionable on ac-
count of shade than many trees now
round on our streets, for its foliage is
open and freely lets the sunlight
through. The tree, when properly
taken care of, is rapid grower, some
OF my trees having made four feet in
year, and although it finally reaches
a large size, it's open, graceful branches
make up for this.
can not understand why the red
wood did not long ago become popular
as an ornamental tree when we have
so freely set out such monstrosities as
the eucalyptus and the Monterey
cypress. Ii the campus of the uni
versity had been set out in redwoods
80 years ago we could hardly now
magine more beautiful spot
1t may be that we have thought the
redwood was SO common as not to be
worthy of cultivation. but all who have
seen them growing in scattered groups
over the hills along the coast regions
have been deeply impressed with their
pristine beauty.''

GRAND JURY GIVEN
SIZZLING CHARGE
Judge Buck Of San Mateo Coun-
ty Calls for a Searching
Investigation
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

. L
REDWOOD CITY. Nov. En- charg-
ing the new grand jurors of San Mateo
county this morning Judge, George H.
Buck instructed them to make a
thorough investigation of gambling
houses existing In this countM the
failure of the supervisors to complete
the courthouse in reasonable time,
the condition of the county school fund,
which he said had been robbed, and
the salaries received by county officials.
Judge Buck took a pointed rap at
District Attorney ]. j. Bullock and
Sheriff Robert Chatham for not sup
pressing the gambling institutions in
the north end of the county and said
that the existence of such places should
be made an issue in the selection OF
county officials.
Following is thefeharge to the jury
lin part:
1t will not be improper FOR me to mention that
one of the important duties required of you Will
be the investigation of the failure of the legisa-
tiye body of this county to complete the county
courthouse. We are now in the fourth year since
the people generously responded to the call for
bonds to build that structure. and its completion
is so far in the future AS to be merely guess
work
/ deem it ptoper considering the Importance
attached 10 It by the public press and citizens;
TO call your attention TO the gambling institu
tfons existing in this county, do this for the
reason that possibly by so doing you may be re-
lieved of some labor and possibly some embar-
rassment. The question whether or not this
county Is to be made the sewer for San Francisco
for these gambling games is for the people TO
decide. The board of supervisors have but little
10 do with this matter 1t rests almost entirely
with the office of sheriff and that of district ait:
toruey. The occupants of these offices can, II
these gambling joints exist. suppress them, and
if. these gambling places 10 exist tand that
seems to admit of serious question(, then the
people are to blame for such existence. 1t is
proper TO make their existence an issue In the
is adopted and the proper officers elected whose
duty it is to look after such matters, the good
name of one of the fairest counties in this state
will resume its former uster.
Should you care TO venture upon almost sacred
ground you will find that the school fund of this
by the employment of special counsel to; look
after the interests of the several school districts
My threat to call you into existence at an earlier
date to investigate this matter has, think, had
a salutary effect.
Understand gentlemen that personally ] think
two exceptions. the affairs of this county were
never conducted on better business principles
than they today. The Joy riders are largely
things of the past. and the affairs of the county
is chance for Improvement though. apd your eff
forts may prove an incentive to duty along that
line.
In conclusion Judge Buck called for
AN investigation of jurors fees and
salaries of members of the board of
supervisors. The former at 50 per day
he regarded as too low and the latter
at $40 per day as too high.

TWICE VICTORIOUS
Triumphs of the Government
Troops Over Rebels Re
ported to Washington

!. WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-Two victo-
ries were claimed over revolutionary
troops by President zelaya of Mica
ra qua in dispatches sent today to Senior
Rodriguez, charge d'affafres of the Mic
araguan legation here
The ffrst cablegram said that yester-
day revolutionary troops abandoned
Guapinol on the Rama river upon the
approach of the regular forces. The
second dispatch said the revolutionary
following had been defeated at the San
Carlos river and that government
troops had started on march to San
Juan del Norte
The first authentic information that
any of the Central American states had
taken side in the revolutionary move
ment in Nicaragua reached the state
department today. 1t seems to indicate
that Honduras has espoused the cause
of Zelaya's government.

a representative of the La Guiana de
Perlas fruit company. an american con-
Germ, had complained to the legation at
ernment of Honduras had detained a
gasoline launch. the property of the
company.
1t is reported that one Nicaraguan
revolutionist was a passenger. There
is an impression that the government
of Honduras is very favorable to ze-
laya and there are reports that men.
arms and money are being sent from
Honduras to- his assistance.
