Accuses Department Official With Interference in Still
 Another Federal Case

San Francisco, June 24-F'urther cor. respondence that passed between the offices of the attorney general in Washington and the United States at torney for the northern district of California was made public, last night, as District Attorney John L. McNab's s reply to the statement of District At torney General William Harr in ex- p1anation of the postponement of the trials of two directors of the Western Fuel company accused of conspiracy to defraud the government. The cor respondence related to a third case involving an order from the attorney generals office that six women whose deportation had been decreed by Fed eraI judges on the ground that they had entered the United States to fol- low an immoral calling, be admitted to bail The deportation orders had been signed by Judges VanE Fleet and Derrick.
 In a letter written on September 27. 1912, District Attorney McNab in formed the assistant attorney gener- al that the court had denied the wom- en freedom bail and protested against their being admitted to bail.
 On October 12, Assistant Attorney General Earr wrote that he had con sidered the evidence in the cases and disagreed with the court, that in his judgment the women should have been released on bail
 District Attorney McNab's reply to this letter, made public, last night, described the six women as of the lowest type" and conveyed the fnfor- nation that a roundabout attempt had been made to procure their freedom by bribery of his office. t'Nevertheless,' MT. McNab said, ''the women were not deported and they are now engaged in their illicit traffic in this city,

BIG FIGHT OVER HIS MILLIONS IN
 PROBATE COURT
Hearing of Suit on Sir Johns Will
 Begins
Brother of NObIeman Opposes Request of $5,OOO,OOO to
 Lady SaCkViIIe

--London. June 24-The most fashion able set in London society crowded the probate court, today, when the hear ing began of the suit! over the will of the late Sir John Murray Scott, who left nearly $5, 100000 to Lady Sackvi1le, of Knole Park, Kent, wife of Baron Sackerville, a relative of the British minister at Washington from 1881 to 1888.
 Malcolm Scott, brother of Sir John. opposes probate of the will on the ground that Baron and Lady Sack vile used undue influence in order to secure the bulk of the estate and argues that a codici1, for which he has offered $50,o00 reward, was executed after the drawing of the will for which the Sackvilles seek probate.
 By order, of the court, some time ago, an envelope left by Sir John NIur- ray Scott, addressed to Lady Sackvil1e was opened but it has not been dis closed whether it contained the miss ing codici1 which has been searched for not only, in the British Isles but in America.
 At the opening of the case for Nal colm Scott, his counsel, the Right Hon orab1e Frederick E. Smith, said the general nature of the case for Nal colm Scott was that he alleged that the Sackvilles had spent more than 10 years in obtaining complete as- cendancy and domination over Sir John Scott. The nature of that in f1uence was such that, not being re- lated CT even having any claim to consanguinity with Sir John, they had radically induced him to finance them for enormous. sums during his life time and with this influence and other pressure they had brought to bear had induced him to leave to them the greater part of his estate of $5s- oOo. 900.
 Sir John Murray Scott, who died on January IF, 1912, had nest renaarka-- ble career. He. was the son of 2. Scot tish doctor practicing abroad and who occupied a very humble position. The doctor chanced to be called in to at tend the Marquis Hertford. The Mar q1is and his kinsman, Richard Wal lace, took a liking to him and Richard Wallace appointed the doctors son as his private secretary. Sir Johns for tune was beQueathed to him by Lady Wallace who left him about $5,0oo, 900 in money and some large properties in France.
 Attorney Smith read extracts from the diary of Sir John Murray Scott, showing the sums paid by him to Lady sackvfl1e in 1906. Counsel re- marked that cheeks were dropping like the gentle rain from Heaven. .' The total of the payments made to the sackvil1e family during 1906 by this stranger in blood relationship amounted to oyer $145, oo$->

San Francisco, June 24.-Ifjima, newly appointed Japanese consul lt New York, arrived, yesterday, and inn mediately began discounting a1arnist discussion of relations between his country and the United States.
 All this war talk over the alien land bill is the work of agitators, he said. ''It does not express the true feeling. Japan believes that the United States will treat her fairly and is waiting with patience for just and quiet settlement of the difficulty that has arisen.''
