News of the Courts
CONTEST OVER MILLION
ACRES Of LAND RESUMED
Executor of Moore Estate Starts
Action Involving Lower
California Tract

An action involving 100000 acres of
land in Lower California and about
$3.50 900 in cash was begun yesterday
before Judge Wilbur of the superior
court, when the case of George S. SAT-
ford executor of the estate of Isaac
n. Moore against +. A. Hartmann, eX-
ecutor of the estate of Guillermo An
drade, formerly Mexican consul to Los
Angeles, was called.
1t is to recover an interest in the
proceeds of the sales of land, as we'll
as in the land itself, which is alleged
to have been purchased by Andrade
and Thomas II. Blythe, former mil
lionaire of San Francisco. as partners,
many years ago.
Originally the tract bought in Lower
California comprised about 100000
acres, of that amount all has been
sold with the exception of about 1,000,
900 acres, which are involved in the
action, together with $4j0,000 obtained
from sales. The plaintiff wants half
of both, the claim being based upon
the partnership alleged to have exist
ed between Blythe and Andrade.
The way the estate of Moore hap
pens to be involved in the case is that
Blythe was the father Of girl whom
known as Florence Blythe. She mar
ried Moore, being known then as Flor
ence Hinkley Moore. Both she and
her husband are dead.
Blythe himself died in 1883 and his
estate was not settled until 1897, four
teen years later. Since that time the
contest over the alleged partnership
beween him and Andrade, who died
about five years ago. has been almost
constantly in the courts, no fewer than
thirty-fOur appeals having been made
to the state supreme court and eight
to the United States supreme court.
Many of the records of the superior
court of San Francisco county. where
some of the proceedings We're held, as
we'll as those of the supreme court,
which also is located in San Francisco,
were destroyed in the disaster of 1906,
and part of the testimony to be heard
here will be taken in attempts to prove
the records of those tribunals.
w. H. II. Hart, formerly attorney
general of California, and now attorney
for the Moore interests, occupied the
stand a goodly part of yesterdays ses-
sion. He declared that he never had
received a cent for his legal services
in the matter and had expended ST.
900. He also declared that Andrade,
claiming to have been Blythe's part
ner, obtained 100000 from his estate

CEMETERY NEAR HIGH
SCHOOL TO BE CLEANED UP

The board of public works was in
structed by the council yesterday to
put a street laborer at work cleaning

bv the city and there are probably
bodies of 1000 pioneers buried there. A
large number of bodies have been re-
moved by the Masonic fraternity and
the Volunteer Firemen's association,
but the friends and relative: of the
persons whose bodies are buried in the
cemetery are difficult to find.
1t has been planned to c.ndemn the
land in order that it may be converted
into a public park and playground for
the high school. and the streets COM
mittee of the council is now consider
ing this matter, but the city attorney
has advised that it would be an almost
endless task because of the hundreds
of lot owners who are scattered all over
the country and in foreign lands.

NATIUNAL uUARD
ON SALARY BASIS
General Wood Expresses the Belief
That Congress Will Be Willing
to Do This.

st. Louis, Oct. 5.-The plan to ask
Congress to place the National Guard
on the army salary list at rates of
from to 25 per cent of the regular
wages was adopted at conference of
National Guard officers here yester-
day afternoon.
Gen. Leonard Wood, who attended
the conference, said the war depart
ment would support the bill to appro-
propriate from 100000 to $4,000, 900
as pay for officers and enlisted men
of the guards.
Every boy in the United States,
more than is years old, should be
trained as a soldier, according to Gen.
Wood.
Il would out-German the Germans,
the general said, by instituting COM
pusory military education in all the
schools. Every boy IS years old or
more should be compelled to learn to
use a rifle as part of his school course.
Then We would have a generation of
crack marksmen.
Il would have the boys instructed
in the rudiments of military science.
They should he taught to throw up
earthworks and to plan scientific lines
of defense. These studies would
teach them the initiative in combat
which modern warfare requires.
Military drill would be part of the
compulsory education.
Uniform companies in the public
school would be advisable, though not
indispensable. Wars come without
notice nowadays, so that we should
be always prepared.
Our standing army of 5000 men
is far too small and Congress should
provide for its increase to at least
100000 men. We have not only the
Philippines and Alaska to guard, but
the Notifications at the Isthmus of
Panama will soon have to be manned. -
