HANDWRITING IMPORTANT
Specimens of Hopkins Found and May Have Hearing on New Will Fight Just Inaugurated.

San Francisco, Aug. Is Pl-The Examiner says that several speci- mems of the handwriting Of the late Mark Hopkins. milliopaire railroad builder, have been found, and may have an important bearing upon the outcome of litigation now under way to divert his estate to 137 claimants. the majority of whom live in North Carolina.
 The specimens are in the form Of notations written by Hopkins on the backs of some old letters written to him by Leland Stanford in 1867 while the Big Four" were negoti- ating for the purchase of the West ern Pacific railroad. They were found by G. T. Clark, librarian at Stanford University. in a private collection placed in his care by Tim othy Hopkins, adopted son of the pioneer.
 Two weeks ago a will, porporting to be in Hopkins handwriting, was filed for probate in superior court here. Ps B. McCandless is the prin- cipal figure in the contest to gain share in what is estimated as $500, 100000 estate. He claims that he is a grandson of Martin Hopkins, alleged brother of Mark, and asks letters of administration for the es- tate pending redistribution.

YOUTH GIVEN POST
 HELD BY KAMENEFF
Friend of StaHn to Become
 Director Of Trade

Moscow, Aug. 16 LP--Another bolshevik idol has fallen, Leon B. kameneff, commissar of trade, once member of the so-called triumvirate which rules Russia and one of the principals of the communist world, has been replaced by a mere youth, M. Mikoian of Tiflis, a friend of M. Stalin, head of the communist party.
 Even old time communists were startled to hear that the young Georgian, relatively unknown, had been given such d vital position in soviet national economy. But those ruling Russia apparently are no re- specters of persons. M. Stalin. a shreWd calculating Georgian, who since the recent death of Felix F.. Dzerzhinsky, chairman of the su- preme economic council, has seemed more than ever to hold Russia 's destiny in his hand, apparently is determined to place his own trusted heutenants in important positions in the government
 Like Leon Trotzky, who is his orother-in-law, Kameneff was re- garded by M. Stalin and other doc trlnalre communists as a heretic The penalty he paid for daring to question the supremacy of those now In power was first the loss of his post as member of the powerful political bureau, and the post of commissar of labor and defense and now the forfeiture of the trade commissary.
 Kameneff, whose real name is Rosenfeld, always has been regard ed as one of the moderate and pro- gressive elements of the bolsbevik regime; but his aspirations for re- form and more democracy in the communist party have cost him dearly. He is the sixth big conn munist to fall victim to Stalin's political axe within the last year. The other political figures figura- lively beheaded were Trotzky, zin- ovieff, Radek, Sokolnikov and Lasbe- witch.
 In the eyes of Stalin and other dominant leaders, Kameneff's posi- ton was considerably weakened bv ms outright repudiation of Trotzky IS months ago and his subseouent Joining of the opposition led bv Trotzky and Zinovieff, an act which lost him the sympathy of even his friends. Always weH-dressed and immediately groomed and suave in manner kameneff had been called the gentleman of the soviet cabi- net"

were the others captured with Es- trada and before the main body of insurrectos was rounded up later in the night.
 Documents Seized Papers found on the captured Mexicans indicated that they had been employed and given instruc- tions to gather near Dulzura last night. One man, Ospieio Sanchez. apparently sergeant had a letter from J. T. Degman. Culver City con- tractor, identifying him and intro ducing him to one S. NJ. Wilson of Campo. The letter, which was only one of sevCral similar documents carried by lieutenants or sub-com- manders. read:
 The bearer. Ospicio Sanchez will report to you with 25 Mexican la borers to start construction work at once. l will be there in a few days.
 tsigned)
 U. I. DEGAIAN."
 Degman, however, apparently did not wait the few days he mentioned, for he was captured with the others near Dulzura and was brought into town shortly after midnight.
 He asked if he might get bail and go to a hotel, saying that he had many friends in San Diego, who would be glad 10 put up bail. He was told. however, that he would have to wait until charges were pre- ferred against him and his bail fix ed. He then asked that he be per mitted to telegraph to his attorneys in Los Angeles. The request was granted.
 Expedition Carefully Planned
 That the expedition had been carefully organized and was led by experienced military men was made further evident by the Identification of Ascencion Santana, who had served as a captain in the forces of the late President Venustiano Car ranZa.
 Another supposed leader of the expedition, who with Estrada and Sepulveda, is supposed to be one of the prime movers in the insurrec- ton, is still at large, according to the department of justice leaders.
 Charges of leading and participat- ing in an armed expedition against government friendly to the United States, a, violation of the United States neutrality laws, will be pre- ferred against the prisoners today, according to A. A. Hopkins, depart ment of justice agent, who was in charge of the operations here and who had been working on the case for nearly a month. Correspondence

 REVOLT CAPTURED

 Jail Too Small

the general roundup of the rebel forces was made.
 Jail Too Small
 The San Diego county jail. un- prepared for such an emergency, was unable to accommodate only about one-third of those arrested and an appeal was sent to the ma- rine base to provide a barracks with guards for the rest of the insur- rectos. The remainder were sent to Fort Rosecrans. The leaders of the expedition were housed in the coun- ty jail while the captured muni- tions were left on the trucks in the court yard of the jail.
 Enrique Estrada,wh gave him self only the modest title of civil engineer, was known to the federal agents at General Estrada, one of the leaders of the eD La Huerta revolution several years ago, and at one time secretary of war in Mex ico and commander of the Vera Cruz district. He carried S456 in cash on his person and other mem bers of his staff captured at the same time had sums that brought the total to more than S1,500.
 Another Officer Arrested
 General Estrada's chief of staff was General Aurelio Sepulveda, a famous officer of the Mexican army, who said he had been a resident of Los Angeles for two years, He ad- mitted that he was general in the Mexican army and was booked at the county jail with that title.
 While no airplanes were found in the expedition's equipment, Faustino Garcia, 80. arrested with Estrada, was designated as an aviator, prob ably Estrada's chief of air service. He called himself a mschanic when he gave his history at the jail.

"WILD OATS LANE"-LYCEUM

Marshal Neilan's Wild Oats Lane," talen from George Broad hurst's play, "The Gambling Chap lain." and produced with elaborate effect, Is one of the two big features at the Lyceum. The other is "The Call of the Klondike," with Gaston Glass, Dorothy Dwan and Lightning Girl, the last named being another of screendom's talented dog actors.
 All youths are said to SOW wild oats and they chose various ways. Sometimes they are caught in the mesh of life and buried into the depths and it is boy and girl who have met such fate that appear in "Wild Oats Lane" They are rep resented by Robert Agnew and Viola Dana, she taking the part of the girl who never had a chance and he taking the weakling who is vic- tin of circumstance. The theme of the story is the regeneration of the two and how it is accomplished by love and by the friendship of a de- tective and a priest who sets an eX-
 mple for them rather than criti- ising.
 The Call of the Klondike" Is gripping story of the gold regions of the far north, of terrific blizzards, of men made wild by the thirst for gold and of young girl who seem- ingly stands alone against all the fierceness of the arctic region.
 "The Amazing Adventures of Mazie" also are on the bill.
