50 UNDESIRABLE
ASIATICS ARRIVE
Sikhs and Mofammedans Lured
Here by Prospect of Se-
curing Work

Fifty-nine more Hindus arrived yes
terday on the liner Korea. They were
rather cleaner than sor1e of the ear
lier arrivals but this was explained by
people on the ship. They had luxu-
rated in scant and filthy attire during
the voyage but the day before the ship
reached San Francisco each Hindu had
produced from his bag or camphor-
wood chest comparatively clean suit
and placed it over his travelling un-
dress Their turbans were turned clean
side out
This last batch is made up Of Sillhs
and Mohammedans and those that were
not farmers or laborers in India were
policemen in Hongkong. One of them
who spoke English fluently, said that
they had come to California because
they understood. from their country
men that there was plenty work here
at good wages. He volunteered the in
formation that he had not been prom
ised a job by any one but would take
the first that was offered.
In his answers to questions he
showed a desire to avoid admissions
that would make it appear that he
was in any way a party to any eva
sion of the contract labor law. He went
so far out of his way to make this
plain that it was evident he was either
ar unusually clever Hindu or that he
had received careful instructions from
somebody familiar with the conditions
of that law
Seventy five Hindus were deported
on the Mongolia which sailed Friday
They were refused landing on the
grounds that some of them were poly
gamists and that all of them were liza

PIONEER AGED 90
SUES Children
Thomas Hopper Seeks to Re-
cover Valuable Property
Decided to Offspring
[Spe .ial Dispatch TO The Call

SANTA ROSA. Nov 19.-Thomas
Hopper, pioneer resident of this city
now past 80 years of age, with five
generations of descendants living in
and around this city, filed sensational
suit in the superior court today against
his children and their wives and hus-
bands. in which he seeks to recover
property valued at 100000, which was
placed in the hands of the sons several
years ago in trust.
According to the complaint. Hopper
was first married in 1892 and as the
result of the union there were thre
sons and three daughters. His wife
and several of his children died in 1890
and in December, 1892, he was mar
ried again, but after nine years Mrs.
Hopper No. filed suit for divorce, in
June. 1901.
The aged plaintiff declares that his
sons informed him that his wife was
preparing to sue for divorce and
urged him to place all his property
in trust with his oldest son. W. I.
Hopper, to keep it from his wife.
Relying on promises that after all
danger was past it would be restored
TO him, Hopper decided his property
to the son.
Later it is alleged they joined in
advising him to divide the property
among the children to be cared for,
promising to provide for him and re-
turn the estate when he desired. Fin
ally he consented and divided the
property as they desired and he was
paid a monthly income.
Now, however. Hopper desires to
have his property returned, as the
children have failed, he declares, to
comply with their promises to him.
The action is filed against j. w. Hop
per and Mrs. Belle Hopper, his wife;
w. T. Hopper and Mrs. Nellie Hopper,
his wife; H. T. Hopper, Mrs. Eliza
Cook and Fountain Cook, her hus-
band; Mrs. Rose B. Carpenter and c..
S. Carpenter, her husband; Mrs. Mary
r. Roberts and Frank Roberts, her
husband.
The family is one of the best known
in the county Some of the realty has
passed out of the hands OF the fam
lily entirely.

Suffrage Plea Is
So Strong Women
Forget to Vote
Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI


Los ANGELES, Nov. 19.-After
listening to an impassioned plea
in behalf of suffrage for women,
the annual convention of the Dis
trict Federation of Women's
Clubs adjourned today, forgetting
entirely the election of officers.
But some one remembered and
called the attention of the lead
ers to the fact that an oppor-
tunity to vote had been neglected
and suggested that the conven-
tion be called to order forthwith
before the public could learn of
the mistake.
Accordingly the delegates were
again called together and the
election of officers was held. But
the story was too good to be kept
secret and somebody told it; then
some of the members of the anti
suffrage organization heard of it,
and they told everybody else. so
that by the time the convention
had adjourned sine die even the
officers had to admit that per-
haps the joke was on them, but
that really it didn't make an diff
ference.
1T was this way" said the
presiding officer of the conven-
tion. I'VE merely overlooked the
election. If we had suffrage rest
assured that none of US would
forget. The joke is on us and
we will expect to stand the jibes
of our nti-suffragette enemies"
