Their brother, Ishwar Chandra, has
been in this country before. He ar-

working there when he received news
of the death in India of his father and
mother. He FASTENED home and has
come back with his two sisters and
three brothers. The ages of the
brothers are AZ, IS and % and they
intend to make their home in Cali

We're greatly interested in what he

On the Manchuria were only 21 other
Hindus, most of those who applied for

HONOLULU. June 2S.-In accordance
with the new land policy of Hawaii,
adopted after the recent congressional
amendments to the organic act of
Hawaii. two leases OF government lands
held by the sugar plantations have al
ready been Cancelled and the land
thrown open for homesteading. Other
cancellations are expected to follow
rapidly.
The first plantation 10 be affected by
the changed land law was the Lapa-

loses 400 acres of good cane land from
the very center of the plantation. The
other affected corporation is the Ono
mea plantation. also on Hawaii. from
which the lease to 800 odd acres has
been withdrawn.
The policy of the advisory land board.
under which the cancellations have
been effected. is believed to have
opened the eyes of the planters TO the
fact that the era of the small land
holders has at last arrived in these
islands and that the sugar industry
here within a few years will have to

There are number Of the planta-
tions which have no land of their own
in fee simple, depending altogether on
their leases of government land. While
these may not be driven out. it is
practically certain that in many places
the cane land will not be released to
the corporations. The planters are in
clined to look upon the bright side OF
the situation, and refer to the con-
ditions in Queensland. where co-opera-
tive mills are returning large profits
and where the returns in cane and
sugar on small holdings have been
more per acre than when the plan

Affections and Support at
$4,000
Mrs. Catherine McGillivray Is
Sued for Damages by Mrs.
Marie Wilson

Mrs. Marie Wilson of Seattle values
| her lost husband, Louis L. Wilson, at
| $4,000 For this sum she yesterday
sued Mrs. Catherine McGillivray, who
resides with her husband Daniel Nc
| Glllivray, at the Ell Forrest apartments,
! S25 Bush street, but who is now out of
the city on vacation. Mrs. McGilli-
l-yray is accused of having enticed Will
son from his home and alienated his
affections from his wife.
The complaint says nothing of the
| whereabouts of Wilson, put he is be-
lieved 10 be somewhere in Europe. It
is said that in August of last year,
when he abandoned his wife in conse-
quence of the seductive influence" ex-
ercised by Mrs. McGillivray, he was
earning $500 month, that he was a
man of good business ability, and that
his earning capacity would have in
creased during the remainder of his
| life.
WENT ON TRIP, Is CHARGE
Wilson and Mrs. McGillivray went to
Europe from Seattle in company, ac-
cording to E. B. McClanahan of the firm
of McClanahan & Derby who filed the
| complaint.
The details of what happened 1 have
not yet been informed" said McClana-
=
McGillivray returned to this city and
became reconciled with her husband
about six months ago"
The complaint charges that while
| Wilson and his wife were living hap
PLY together in their home in Seattle
Mrs. McGil1ivray .clandestinely and by
artifice, cunning, contriving and seduc-
tive influence" on June 26, 1909, and at
various other times during June, July
and August at her apartment house in
Seattle invited, harbored and enter
| tained' Wilson. She entertained him
publicly as well as in her own apart
ment. it is asserted. The accusation
is made that she so conducted herself
for the purpose of persuading, enticing
and abducting him from his wife and
winning his affection for her self.
WIFE DESERTED, SHE SAYS
By reason of this conduct, the COM
plant says, Mrs. McGillivray wholly
alienated and destroyed Wilson's af-
fection for his wife, by reason of which
he in August abandoned the plaintiff
and went away from Seattle. He has
since contributed nothing to her sup
port and she has wholly lost the as
sistance, comfort, companionship and
support of her husband, as well as suf-
fering grievous mental anguish and dis
tress of body and mind. Wilson is said
in the complaint to be well educated
man. 80 years of age.
Mrs. Wilson did not come to San
Francisco for the purpose of instituting e
the suit. Lawyer Rummens of Seattle
came down to this city and supplied
the facts upon which McClanahan &
Derby prepared the complaint.

charles +. Curry, candidate for the
lepubhcan nomination for governor, has
eat in again on the field which Alden
anderson claims for his own. Two
more union labor organizations have
one out openly in solid support of
'urry by adopting resolutions favoring
his candidacy and calling upon similar
adies TO take the same action
Both the new labor Endorsements of
Ccrry are from Oakland. One was
-iven by Pacific coast lodge No. l Of
The amalgamated association of iron,
steel and tin workers, and the other
By uphOlsterers' union No. 81. In both
instances the action was taken after
the adjournment Of regular union meet
lngs and the reassembling of members
for the purpose Of forming Curry clubs.
Both resolutions praise Curry as a
consistent friend Of labor and a cham
pion Of the rights of all the people.
The resolutions adopted by the iron,
steel and tin workers were signed by
President J. A. Martin and Secretary
j. A. Logue, and those of the upholster-
ers' union by President W. 4. Peck and
Secretary A. T. Sousa.
ANDERSON REPLIES
Alden Anderson is the first Of the
republican candidates for governor to
reply to the letter sent out last week
by the state central committee officers
asking the candidates to pledge them
selves TO support the party nominees
CHOSEN at the August primaries. An
derson's answer, addressed TO Secretary
w. H. Davis OF the state central com
nittee, is as follows:

date for the republican nomination
Tor governor OF California and con-
tanning the following inquiry: s'WfI
YOU support and urge the election

the nomination for governor and
other state ofIlces?' has been re-
In reply thereto I would saw that

Of the party is paramount TO the
desires or personal ambition of anv
individual and therefore I have
no hesltancy IN answering the state
committees inquiry in the affirma-
tive, and hereby state that I will
support the nominees selected by
the electors Of the republican party
at the direct primary to be held on
august 10 next Very truly Tours
ALDEN ANDERSON
What Hiram Johnson's reply to this
same query, put to him by the state
central committee, viii be is a matter
Of some curiosity among the politi-
clans. The resolution authorizing such
pledges TO be sought was adopted by
the state central committee for the par
ticular purpose Of cornering johnson
IN a refusal, which might be used as a
campaign weapon against him. John
son has accepted the practical reading
out Of the party given him by the same
committee with alacrity, and it is
foregone conclusion that he will not
subscribe 10 the pledge proposed.
Whether he will treat the state cen
tral committees letter with contempt or

the query put to him is another ques-
ton.
