Wandered Many Years

Daniel Blake Russell lived in Fresno
for several years previous to his enter
ing the famous viii contest for $3.50 900
He went under the name of J. S H
Johnson in Fresno and worked as la
borer.
On hearing of the will contest he re-
tanned q lawyer, maintaining that he
was the real Daniel Blake Russell and
that he left his fathers home in Mel
rose 25 years ago. Gathering together
a number of documents, which he ex-
pected to submit in proving his claim
Johnson. or Russell, left Fresno for
Boston. where he has been ever since.
Very little was known of Russell in
Fresno. He came from the south and
had. it is understood, been a wanderer
for many years. According to his own
story. he quarreled with his parents
when a young man and left home with
the resolution never TO return.
IT was by mere chance that he
learned of his fathers death and the
large fortune left to him and his
brother, william C. Russell.
the sheriff Of Fresno county The
sheriff in turn wired the chief of po-
lice at Melrose that the true heir to
the Russell estate was living in Fresno
and would soon start east to establish
his claims.
Russell then. retained State Senator
Cartwright to represent him. They
wired Attorney william oJlin of Bos-
ton the following day to check all fur
ther proceedings until the California
Russell should reach there. Within a
few hours he packed his trunk and was
speeding east to prove that he was the
second son of Daniel Russell.
Before Russell reached Melrose a
ranchman from North Dakota had laid
claim to the fortune in the name of
Daniel Blake Russell. He had been
lighting in the Boston courts for 100
days when the Fresno man reached the
scene Of the dispute. The Fresno Rus
sell was in the east but a short time
when he convinced many of the back
ers of the North Dakota man that he
was the real long lost son.

HOSPITAL REPORT
Anglers fURUSFTH
President of Seamen's Union OBJ
iects to "Whitewash" for
Gassaway and Moore
[ Special Dispatch to The Call


. WASHINGTON, April S.-Declaring
that the purported investigation of the
United States marine hospital in San
Francisco by Dr. Paul M. Darlington
was nothing more than "whitewash."
Andrew Fureseth, president of the in
ternational seamen's union, announced
tonight that the fight for a real inquiry
would be begun in congress tomorrow
morning.
Furuseth's declaration was made af-
ter he had been informed that the Car
rington report had been submitted to
Surgeon General Wynn and that the
latter had said that no grounds had
been found for the removal of DR.
James M. Gassaway, now chief surgeon
at the hospital. No reference was made
by the surgeon general to the charges
against DR.. Dunlop Moore. a member of
the staff accused of having brutaIly
beaten Mateo Brezzini a seaman. while
the latter was dying in the hospital on
the morning of February II
Il expected it," said Furuseth ct
had heard that the report was to be a
whitewash. L shall see Senator Per-
kins tomorrow morning and | shall ask
hi INTO demand more complete in
vestigation of the San Francisco ma
rine hospital. 1 think he will make
such a demand after he has looked into
the evidence. The investigation by
Doctor Darlington has not been thor
ough."
Surgeon General Wyman would not
discuss the details of the Carrinpton
report. but ii has been learned that II
consists of Ion greview of Doctor
Gassaway's administration and its tone
is favorable to the surgeon 1t de-
clares that the criticisms of Gassawav
by the seamen's unions are preiudiced
and unfair.

The democratic party, sometimes
in power, oftener in the minority,
has been the steady reliance OF the
country in every crisis involving
the maintenance OF what is good in
the old and the adoption of what
is safe and useful from the new.
1t was SO in the formative
of the republic, in the times of build
ing in resistance to extravaganza,
and in the protest against the un-
just or unnecessary taxation. When
the interests of honest government
had been at stake, it has rallied
the reserves. Its columns in this
state have marched behind Van Blu.
ren, Marcy, Wright, Seymour, Til.
den, Cleveland and Hill. Its forces
have lined themselves UP in days
of peril, in favor OF good causes
and against designing men. Its his
tory is filled with the deeds of both
leaders and followers ready for any
sturdy service.
Nor does it show Itself wanting
now, in country or state. In Maine,
in Massachusetts, in Connecticut, in
New Jersey, in Ohio, in every quar-
ter where the danger point has been
reached in extravaganza, in aggres-
sion, in corruption, in surrender OF
the rights and powers OF govern
ment TO ambitious individuals or to
abhorrent forces, it is showing its
old wisdom, its time-honored cour-
age, and is bringing to the strug-
gle, now becoming vital, the best
elements in our life and society. 1t is
making effective protest against all
recognized enemies of our institu-
tions. II is making its appeal as OF
old to all our people. IL is recogniz-
ing. not merely that it has an
opportunity to achieve success, but
that it must deserve it.
In such time, there can be no

Harmony is the Ratchword of the

New Church at Nichols.

Nichols, April 29.-The new Metho-
dist Episcopal church at Nichols will
be dedicated on May s. This event Will
be an important milestone in the his
tory of the church. The new building
which Is to be dedicated next month is
the result Of movement that builded
better than those who first began to
forward it knew. For a long time the
greater part of the congregation had
felt that the old church building need
ed remodeling and also believed that
it should be located In more central
part of the town. The initial steps
We're taken about year ago. when a
building committee was appointed to
carry out plans for remodeling the
structure and moving it to more CEN
trail location.
But the final outcome Of these
plans is found in the erection OF a
beautiful new church as near the
center Of the town as location
could be secured, at a cost of about
5000.
Rev. ]. r. Hanley. of Centerville
formerly of West Liberty. has been
secured to take charge of the dedica-
tory services.
