HOOKWORM
MAKES ATTACK
ONAGEDWOMAN
Weird MaIady of the South At
tacks Mrs. M. Jimenez of
900 Pacific Street
Attending Physician Holds Out
Little Hope for Recovery
of the Victim

That pest of the southern states and
Of the Hawaiian islands-the hook
vorm-has been discovered in san
Francisco for the first time. according
to the diagnosis Of DR.. Herbert Gum,
who pronounced Mrs. Marian Jimenez
a victim Of the parasite last Monday
night.
Mrs. Jimenez, who is a Spanish
woman, so years old, living at 906' Pa
cihc street. returned two months ago
from a two years stay in Honolulu,
where she undoubtedly contracted the
disease. as she claims to have been in
the best Of health PRIOR TO the trip.
Mrs. Jimenez has been physically
failing for some time, though at - loss
TO account for her illness. Last Mon
day she was discovered in a bedridden
condition by the Associated charities,
who reported the case TO Doctor Gum.
FINDS GERMS IN BLOOD
Doctor Gum found the woman in a
small shack living with married
daughter amid conditions far from san
itary. He made an examination of the
blood, as well as other tests, and the
results, coupled with the anemic con-
dition of the patient, led him to de-
clare her in the grasp of the hook
worm
AT present Mrs. Jimenez lies in the
Lane hospital in critical state, though
every effort is being made to pull her
away from the ravishings of the tena-
cious pest
Doctor Gum declared last night that
there was a possibility of Mrs. Jime
nez failing TO recover owing to the
fact that she has unwittingly allowed
the hookworm to gain such headway.
He said that she was not only suffering
from anemia, but that all of the or
gans were enlarged as well, and that
the abdomen and lungs were filled with
fluid from excessive congestion.
Concerning the treatment Of the
strange case Doctor Gum said that
there We're several methods of destroy
ing the parasite, the most common be-
ing the use Of thymol solution inter
nallv Whether the treatment has
aided Mrs. Jimenez as yet he was un-

treatment. every force being exhausted
in the resistance Of the weird disease.
Although Doctor Gum does not claim
10 be an authority on the hookworm,
he is positive in this diagnosis, and
has under his surveillance several
other suspicious cases.
There has been d rumor now and
then 10 the effect that a victim OF the
hookworm had been found here. but
this is the first instance of an authen-
tic case

ASKS MURASkY TO
TAKE DISPOSITIONS
Attorney for John D. SpreckeIs
and Steamship Co. Resists
Contempt Proceedings
Objection Made to Fishing" In
quiries in Behalf Of Rudolph
and Gus Spreckels

Judge Murasky was asked Yesterday
to rescind the order of court for the
taking of depositions before a notary
public in the case brought by Rudolph
and Gus Spreckels in an effort to have
the Union trust company removed as
trustee of the $2,500,0OO bond issue of
the Oceanic steamship company. and to
preside over the taking of the deposi
tions himself
The attorneys for the two companies
named as defendants in the suit agreed
TO lnterpose no objections to taking the
dispositions if assured the protection OF
the court against unwarranted inouisi-
ton and a search into the private af-
1airs of the company after irrelevant
facts.
COURTS DECISION DESIRED
1t was proposed, and stipulated by
poth sides that if Judge Murasky
would agree TO conduct the taking OF
the depositions himself in open court
SO as to be in a position at ALI times
TO rule on the relevancy of inquiries
made by the attorneys for the plaintiff
the present tangle of argument over
methods of procedure would be ended
at once and the case allowed to pro-
ceed. Judge Murasky reserved his de-
clsion until today in order to see if q
place could be found on his calendar
for the proceeding
The stipulation came toward the enc
of an afternoon devoted to argument
on the question raised by the petitions
of Rudolph and Gus Spreckels for or
ders citing John d. Spreckels and other
officers of the defendant companies tc
snow cause why they should not be
punished for contempt of court for re-
fusing to answer questions put to them
before the notary and why they should
not be forced to answer the questions
METHOD OF SAVING TIME
w. 1. Brobeck, attorney for John d
Spreckels and the Oceanic steamship
company, suggested the taking of the
depositions before Judge Murasky as
settlement of all the matters in dis
pute. He reiterated the statement
made at the time the witnesses refused
to answer questions, in which it was
explained that this was not an attempt
to eVade an inquiry into relevant mat
ters, but refusal to submit to a gen.
eral fishing" expedition, and declared
that there would be no objection at all
to proceeding under the direction of
the court, where the right of objec-
ton to particular questions might be
preserved
Attorney Matt I. Sullivan accepted
the suggestion as means of prevent
ing the great consumption of time that
must otherwise attend the adjudication
of the questions of procedure involved
in the argument
Sullivan's argument will be complet-
ed this morning before Judge Murasky
determines whether he will be able to
preside over the taking of the deposi-
tions. His decision will depend largely
upon the outcome of the election con-
tests pending in his court.

state sues to Recover School Grant
Lands.

Suit was started last week by At
torney General w p, Bell to gain
possession of and quit title to land
in Skagit and Kittitas county, that be
longs to heschool grant, but to which
title has been given a corporation and
individual by the federal govern
ment. The suit in Skagit county is
against the skagit Lime d Cement
company, while in Kittitas county the
state is suing John d. Walker
Under the enabling act of Febru-
airy %, 1889, the state was granted
for school purposes every 10 and SO
section in every township in the
state, except certain lands that had
already prior to that date been re-
served by the federal government.
Prior To the enabling act many set
tiers had located on lands in these
sections, and many have since located
upon un-suryeyed lands in the state
that would upon survey be included
in sections 16 and SO. The federal
government has given patent to
homesteaders and mining companies
to lands located upon prior to the
time the sections were surveyed.
The state contends that the enabl-
ing act granting certain sections to
schools included both surveyed and
unsuryeyed lands, and that the land
Office of the federal government was
without authority to give patent to
any lands in sections 16 and SO in
any township in the state.
The matter will probably be car
ried to the supreme court of the Uni
ted States before it is finally deter
mined, as the question effects thous-
auds Of acres of land in the state, in
Guiding a portion of the lands which
have since been included in the fed
eral reserves.

Dressing Il Goose.

To kill a goose, make quick
sharp cut in the roof of the mouth
below the eyes, or stun by SHARP
blow on the head and then make the
cut for bleeding.
The feathers are assorted while
picking. The picker uses box
about the height Of his knees, and
holds the bird with the left hand,
clasping the feet and wings together,
and holding the head of the bird in
place with the knee.
If the bird is to be scalded, use
the same temperature of water as for
chicken, but dip several times, plac-
ing the back in the water first. A
common practice is to wrap geese in
blanket after scalding to loosen the
feathers, but the steaming must not
last long enough to cook the flesh
DO not dry-pick geese for the fea
theirs before killing, as this causes
the skin to become inflamed and do
not SINCE to remove hairs, as the
heat gives the carcass an oily, ugly
appearance. For market purposes
leave the feathers on the head, neck
wings at first joint, and tail. Pick
the feathers from the body of the
bird, then moisten the hand and rue
the body to remove down. Geese are
drawn like other poultry,
