ION held for the purpose Of submit
rg the propositions Of allowing nine

ACTORS TROUBLES
AIRED In COURT
KoIb Wants the Suit Against
Him Transferred to San
Francisco County

OAKLAND, Aug. 26-The first hear
ing in court of the troubles of c. Will
liam Kolb, Max Dill and their one time
manager, Nat n. Magner, took place
today before Judge Waste, when Kolbs
attorneys asked that the trial of the
case be held in San Francisco because
he lives there. The other comedian
lives in Alameda county.
Magner's attorney asserted that the
Germap comedians had done him dam
age to the amount of $4,000, for which
amount he is suing. He placed most of
the blame on KOlb. The pair had forced
him to pay their bills, voted to raise
their own salaries from $500 to $500
week, and that Kolb was now in
tending to sell most of the properties
and go to New York, where he intends
to be a star by himself is the claim
This was met by Kolb's attorney who
demanded that the case should be tried
in San Francisco if Kolb was the prin-
cipal defendant
Magner is suing to prevent Kolb from
going on the stage alone. He says that
he has a three year contract with KoIb
and Dill and that the pair must stay
together until his contract expires. He
asks also for a return of money he has
advanced and for damages already sus-
tanned.
Judge Waste continued the case
week for further hearing.

LIFE and BOOK
ENDED Together
Pioneer and Author Succumbs
Few Hours After Completing
Five Years Work

ALAMEDA, Aug. 26.-William Simp
coterie of early day California writer's
that included Mark Twain and Bret
Harte, and formerly "a representative
in the assembly and state senate from
this city, died suddenly this morning
at o'clock at his home, 1417 Benton
street. His life came to an end a few
hours after he had completed the writ
ing of the final chapter in his History
of Labor" on which he had worked
for nearly five years. Death is sup
posed to have been due to cerebral
hemorrhage.
William Simpson was native of
New York city and was 50 years of
age. He arrived in California on Sep
tember II, 1S49, on board the barken-
tine Palmetto, which Simpson and 49
other young adventurers had pur-
chased. They loaded it with general
merchandise, hired crew and cap
tain and made the voyage around Cape
Horn.
Simpson went to the mines at James
town, Tuolumne county. He remained
there only short time, going to Stock
ton. where he engaged in the drug
business. In 1866 Simpson opened a
pharmacy in San Francisco. which he
conducted in one location until it was
destroyed by the fire. After that
catastrophe the pioneer retired from
active business life and devoted his
last years to writing and scientific
gardening. Simpson had lived in Ala
media since 1857. He was on the board
of town trustees and served two terms
in the assembly and one term in the
state senate. Simpson was prominent
in the affairs of the California So
ciety of Pioneers and was for many
years vice president and director.
The late pioneer was a frequent con-
tributor to magazines and newspapers.
He was the author of 1.-The Man from
Mars How Moses Led the Israelites
Out of the Wilderness" a humorous
sketch, and numerous papers of his
torical character.
simpson had made deep study of
labor from the time of the ancients
down to the present, and the results
are embodied in his unpublished book,
History of Labor" The work is to
be published by members of the pio-
neer's family.
Simpson is survived by four sons and
one daughter. His wife died some years
ago. The children are Obert F. Simp-
son, an architect in the employ of the
government in the Philippines; N. w.
Simpson, city attorney of Alameda: ::
Theodore Simpson, a businessman of
South America; Howard Simpson,
businessman of this city, and Miss
Edna simpson, who lives at the family
home The funeral of the pioneer will
De held Monday morning at 10 o'clock
from his late home and will be con-
quoted under the auspices of the Cali
1ornia Society of Pioneers.
