de Islyeaga Case,

San Francisco, Cali.-Thirty thou
sand dollars is quite a sum of money.
But 1t gathers comparatively huge
proportions when it is set down as the
bill OF one stenographer for work on
one case. That is the amount which,
according to an appeal in the famous
de Laveaga case, must be paid to A.
]. Girvin, court stenographer, for
transcripts of the testimony in the
case before the superior court.
The appeal was filed by Pepa de
Laveaga Cebrian, sister of the late
Maria de Laveaga, to whom the bulk
of the legatee's fortune was left. Mi
guel, u brother, was left only $50, 900
out of an estate valued at $4,000, 900.
He took the case to court. charg ng
undue influence in the making of the
will. He was upheld by the superior
court and time was given the defend-
ants in which to appeal This appeal
was filed yesterday by Samuel Short
ridge, attorney for Mrs. Cebrian.
The supreme court has pleasant
task before it. Volume upon volume
of printed matter, containing the tes-
timony in the case, has to be gone
through. In fact there is $4,000
worth of printed matter to be read.

that she believed in afffnities.
She consented to her husbands at

woman's dismissal on a fugitive
charge when he learned that the lew
elry she was accused of taking actu-
ally belonged to her husband. Mu-
nicipal Judge Dolan freed her.
In her statement, written when this
action was made known to her, Mrs.

Sues on Promissory Notes.


w. II. Compton today commenced
suit against William c. Lehti, A. w.
Claxon, Arthur Skinner and wife and
Charles Marshall and wife. In his
complaint he alleges that Lehti ex-
ecuted two promissory notes aggre-
eating $2500, in April, 1910, to him,
both of which are past due. The
notes, he claims. were secured by a
mortgage on certain real property, a
portion of which has since been pur-
chased by Claxon, who assumed re-
sponsibillty for the payment of $500
of the sums in the notes. The Skin
ners and Marshalls, it Is alleged,
maintain certain claims on the land
in question and are therefore made
parties to the suit. Plaintiff asks for
personal decree for $2500, and that
the mortgaged property be sold at a
sheriff's sale and the proceeds used
to llquidate the claims. $3.50 at
torney fees Is also asked. Carter G.
Smythe are representing Mr.. Comp
ton.

Patchogue, L. I.-While sailing
across the Great South Bay on No.
vember 10 James I. Davis, an oyster
man of Blue Point, came upon a
young doe that was swimming to-
ward Ocean Beach. The doe was
winded and seemed about ready to
give up and sink.
Davis threw rope about her neck
and started towing her toward Blue
Point, but the doe couldn't keep her
head above water. Davis and his
helper had to pull her aboard She
died before the town was reached.
Davis had her carried to his farm
and buried
Somebody told Game Warden John
s. Cullen of Brookhaven that Davis
had had a deer "in his possession"
de 'pite the law. Cullen dutifully re-
ported the heinous fact to State
Game Protector Haff of Islip and Da-
Wis was arrested.
The oysterman assured District At
torney Furman that he merely had
tried to save the does life but he
learned that good intentions could
not be recognized legally. The dis

red from the criminal to the civil
docket, however. and in Justice l.. b.

that war the prestige of the old Man
chu army, which for two hundred
ana fifty years had sufficed to keen
the Chinese in subjection, was COM
pletely destroyed. The throne faced
the alternative of revolution or the
creation of modern army capable
of defending the national honor
abroad. The first task was to secure
pody or trained officers, and with
IN rev years no less than nineteen
military schools were established
These schools were manned by jap
anese army officers. and later by Chi
nese graduates from the military
schools of Japan. To officers an army
OF size commensurate with China's
needs, 1t was not enough to draw M
on the Manchu clans The door had
perforce to be thrown open to the
Chinese. The latter embraced the new
profession with an ardor that seems
to belle the traditional aversion OF
the Chinese for war. But, as one au-
thority has explained, the Chinese
hated military service so long as it
was the exclusive privilege of their
Manchu conquerors. Today 1t is es-
timated that there are 5000 students
enrolled in the officers schools in
China and Japan. As events have
shown, 1t was, with the Manchus, only
postponement of the evil day. In
fear of a popular uprising, they al
lowed the Chinese to acquire gradual
control of the army, and the latter
have lost little time in making use
of their opportunities.
