EARLY TRIAL FOR
''PIOUS FUND.- CASE
Aguirre Heirs Pressing Their
Suit for Reopening of Com=>
promise Made in 1873
[ Special Dispatch 10 The Call

Special Dispatch 10 The Call
LOS ANGELES, March 2.-Demurrers
to the complaint brought by the heirs
of Miguel Aguirre against Archbishop
Patrick William Riordan and the Ro-
man Catholic archdiocese in California
have been decided in favor of the
plaintiffs by Judge BordweIl in the
superior court of Los Angeles county.
and the way is cleared for an early
trial of the cause. A motion to strike
out portions of the cross complaint
was granted
This is a historic case in the courts
of California, as it involved the ''pious
subject of international arbitration,
and which within the last few years
was settled by The Hague tribunal i'll
favor of the Roman Catholic archdio-
cese of California
The Aguirre suit does not introduce
the principles involved in the original
''pious fund" litigation, but involves
money in the fund.
1t is contended that in 1910 Miguel
Aguirre advanced $4,000 for the
"pious fund.- and held a draft against
it. In 1873 his heirs compromised their
claim with the church, but recently the
action has been reopened on the con-
tention of the heirs that some points
in dispute were overlooked by the
compromise. 1t is this secondary ac-
tion which is pending.
The ''pious fund" was established in
Spain early in the nineteenth century
for the benefit of missionary labors in
the CALIFORNIA;. When California
passed under the domination of Mexico,
President Santa Ana of Mexico con-
fiscated the fund, promising to pay the
church certain interest on the property,
which consisted of lands and other
property. That was in 1872
When California became United
States territory, the Mexican govern
ment failed to keep it's agreement, and
the United States government, in the
behalf of the Catholic diocese of Cali
fornia, undertook arbitration proceed
ings to secure the fund or interest on
the sum due. The matter passed
through several periods of arbitration.
The judgment of The Hague tribunal
was that the Mexican government
should pay to the Catholic church in
California sum in the neighborhood
of s250,000 a year.

WHY TAKES ARE INCREASING.

J. N. Dolley, bank commissioner oil
Kansas, draws $3.50 a month from
the state, for postage. No one be-
lieves Dolley spends one-half that
sum, or one-fourth that sum, on his
legitimate postage account. His pre-
decessor drew $37 month from the
State for postage, and that was too
much.
Even Memo" admits Dolley Is ian
honest man." but the fact remains
that Dolley draws $3.50 month from
the state and swears that he uses 1t
for postage. But while people gener-
ally admit that Dolley is an honest
man, they all know he doesn't really
spend $3.50 a month for postage, or
half that much, or one quarter that
much.
And Dolley is a reformer! In fact,
he is almost Stubs political man
ager. In the opinion Of Dolley,
those who do not support Stubs are
opposed to temperance, Roosevelt,
the home, the school, the church,
good women, the fireside, and the
Holy sepulchre.

HAVE AN INJUNCTION SUIT.
Union Telephone Company Wants
Bell Action Stopped.

A suit to GUST the Missouri ant
Kansas Telephone and the American
Telegraph and Telephone company
from the state of Kansas was filed
in the Shawnee county district courl
yesterday by Fred s. Jackson. attor'
ney general, to prevent the two biz
companies from monopolizing the
telephone business of the state. An
injunction was also asked for and
granted BY Judge Dana prohibiting
the defendant companies from alb.
sorbing any other telephone compa-
mics in the state until the case is
settled in court.
The suit filed yesterday is the out
growth Of the purchase by the Bell
company, which the petition alleges
Is in reality the defendants in the
custer suit Of the Independent tele-
phone plants at wichita and Hutcn-
inson, Kan. The plant at the for
mer city was purchased In the early
spring Of this year and the latter
but a few weeks ago. The petition
further alleges that the Bell company
is now negotiating for the purchase
of the Union Telegraph and Tele-
phone company.
The Union Telegraph and Tele-
phone company owns local and toll
line exchange service between Tope-
ka and Abilene and has branch serv-
ice with practically every city and
town between the two points north Of
the Kansas river and east of Belle
VILE, Kas. The injunction asked for
in the suit filed yesterday Is to pre-
vent the absorption Of the Union
telegraph and telephone company By
the Bell system.
Talk Of busting the Ben from the
state Is Of course Jaekson's grand
stand taxi. What the Union hopes
for is to stop the Absorption process.
Jackson gave his approval 10 the
wichita purchase before It was made
and pronounced Il legal. according
to the Bell people.
