. FKKSNO, Cal., May 18. (Special.)
The state Democratic convention has
resolved itself into a field day for
Theodore A. Hell, ot Napa, ex-Congrens-man
and .unsuccessful candidate for
Governor at the last election. Mr.
Bell, who is in his early thirties, de
fied the oosses, refused to enter into
any deals or negotiations and so com
pletely outgeneraled his opponents
that they withdrew from the tight be
fore the convention was called to or
der. Mr. Bell will go as a delegate to
the National convention, of which he
usplres to be made chairman, and will
take with him a delegation com
mitted to W. J. Bryan.
The main tight lay between Mr. Bell
and Gavin McNab, leader of the old
line Democracy. Mt. McNab, curious
ly enough, had boosted Mr. Bell to his
present position of primacy by aiding
him to defeat the Hearst forces in
the party two years ago. Mr. McNab
attempted to draw up a programme
for Mr. Bell for today's convention,
and immediately a split ensued. Mr.
Bell refused to accept any of Mr. Mc
Nab's offers and stated that he in
tended to carry out his own plans
with or without Mr. McNab.
Just before the convention gathered
this morning, Mr. McNab Blzed up the
situation, saw he was beaten, and i
withdrew all opposition.
As a result Mr. Bell organized the
convention. State Senator Sanford was
unanimously elected chairman and
committees favorable to Mr. Bell were ,
appointed. 1
The serious business of the conven
tion will not come up until tomorrow,
but the entire Bell programme Is as
sured. That Mr. McNab's power Is not en- 1
tirely broken, and he is still to be
reckoned with by the opposition, was
evidenced by the success of some of his
candidates in several or the Congres
sional conventions.
Harmony prevailed in the convention,
as a result of Mr. Harper's withdrawal.
With the Bryan men in control, it is
practically certain that the convention
will send an Instructed delegation to Den
ver. Mr. Bell declared tonight that fully
90 per cent of the delegates favored Mr.
Bryan.
Aside from Mr. Bell, who declines to
take a hand In the selection, Nathan
Cole, Jr., of iLos Angeles, and Robert M.
Fits Gerald, of Oakland, appear to have
the best chances for delegatcs-at-large to
the Denver convention.
Wild Cheers for Bryan and Bell.
The convention was called to order
in. the Barton opera-house this after
noon by Timothy Spellacy, chairman of
tho state central committee. Mr.
Spellacy made a brief speech and re
ferred to Mr. Bryan as the "man who
has kept the Democratic party alive
for the past five years." and Theodore
A. Bell as the "recognized leader of
Democracy In the State of California."
Both names were 'wildly cheered. Upon
motion of Mr. Warner, on behalf of
the L,os Angeles delegation.
The convention adjourned at 4 P. M.
until 10 o'clock tomorrow. The com
mittee on platform is trying to pre
pare a platform tonight that will be
satisfactory to all.

9 AN FRANCISCO, May 18. Taking of
testimony closed and arguments were be
gun today In the trial of Abraham Ruef
on. the charge of bribery. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Heney" opened for the pros
ecution and was followed by Henry Ach
for Ruef. Ach did not finish until a late
hour tonight. Tomorrow Heney will close
and It Is expected that Judge Doollng will
deliver his instructions to the jury late
in the afternoon.
Preliminary to the opening of the ar
guments, three witnesses were briefly ex
amined. G. H. Umbsen, the real estate
man, was questioned by Mr. Ach regard
ing the checks which were passed when
the Parkside money was ilrst drawn out
of the Union Trust Company's bank, and
later, in two portions of $15,000 each, from
the Crocker-Woolworth Bank. Joseph E.
Green, of the Parkside Company, was re
called by Mr. Heney to show that William
H. Crocker had not been present at the
meeting of ex-Mayor Schmltz and William
J. Dingee. Dingee followed, and he con
tradicted Green by saying that, to the
best of his recollection, both Mr. Crocker
and Mr. O'Brien were present at the
meeting.
With the dismissal of Dingee, Mr.
Heney announced that his case was
closed and that he would rest. His
opening argument was devoted principally
to what he calls a logical presentation
of the facts of the case. He departed
from a 'logical presentation during heated
moments on several occasions and turned
away from the jury to shake his finger
at the defendant and denounce him as a
"political buzzard." Mr. Heney accused
the defense of being short of law and
facts. 1

Girl Blames Mersereau for Broken
State of Her Health She Was
Instructress in Calisthenics
at Buffalo, X. X.
W. B. Mersereau, a wealthy lumberman
of this city, yesterday was made defend
ant in a $50,000 damage suit filed in the
United States Court by Helga Farret, a
subject of the King of Sweden. For some
time prior to December, 1906, the plaintiff
waj employed in Buffalo, N. Y.. as in
structress in calisthenics. In her com
plaint she charges that Mersereau Is re
sponsible for her impaired physical con
dition. . . . . .
Miss Farret alleges that in July, 1904,
while sojourning in Buffalo, N. Y., she
was invited as the guest of defendant's
daughter. Miss Edith Mersereau, to visit
his home in Portville, N. Y., where, avers
the plaintiff, Mersereau, in the absence
of the family attempted to take undue
liberties .with hen On the assurances
of Mersereau that he was her interested
friehd and protector, the plaintiff admits
that at a later date she permitted him to
call on her at her home In Buffalo where,
on one" occasion, she " went to a res
taurant with him on the representation
that he was givljig a dinner party, and
that other guests would be present. At
that dinner Miss Farret alleges that the
defendant induced her to drink what
proved to be three Manhattan cocktails
and a bottle of champagne, with the re
sult that she, being unaccustomed to in
toxicants, became helpless. While in that
condition It Is charged that Mersereau
took her to a notorious assignation-house
at Oak and Seneca streets.
Promised to Alarry Her.
On that occasion, recites the com
plaint. Mersereau paid his wife was In
poor health and probably would not live
long, but If she should. It iff alleged he
agreed to procure a divorce and marry
his companion. It is further averred by
the plaintiff that Mersereau represented
himself to be a man of great wealth
and promised to send her to Europe,
where she would be grandly and sump
tuously cared for at his expense.
Continuing, the complaint sets forth
that In August and September, 1905, the
plaintiff visited New York City, where
she was the guest of Mrs. Marie Na
thalie Everard. At that time it is
charged Mersereau renewed his atten
tions, their relations including a visit to
the Hotel Netherlands whenthey regis
tered as H. English and wife. Plaintiff
relates In her complaint that at the time
she carried the shopping bag of Mrs.
Everard, which led to their detection and
ejection from ihe hotel by the house
detective, after a Antic encounter be
tween Mersereau and the detective and
the manager of the hotel.
At a subsequent time, alleges the com
plaint, plaintiff accompanied Mersereau
to the Grand Union Hotel in New York
City, where they registered as H. Eng
lish and sister and were assigned to sep
arate apartments. The bellboy, discov
ering Mersereau in plaintiff's room, no
tified the hotel management and the
couple was ejected, whereupon, charges
the complaint, Mersereau took plaintiff
to a house of assignation and there in
structed her to address all her telegrams
and correspondence to him in the name
of English, for the reason that lie did
not want his family to know of his re
lations with the plaintiff until such time
as he could marry .her and receive her
with due respect. -
Says Her Health Is Broken.
The plaintiff alleges that her relations
with Mersereau led to several surgical
operations, which left her health entire
ly destroyed and herself a permanent in
valid. It was then, avers the plaintiff,
that Mersereau refused to assist her in
any way and in an attempt to discard
"her left the city of New York clandes
tinely, leaving instructions that under
no circumstances should his whereabouts
be revealed. Miss Farret alleges that
Mersereau reached Portland in May,
1907, and recites that she sold her Jewels
for money with which to purchase
transportation to Portland. Reaching
this city, she alleges that she appealed
to Mersereau for enough money to pay
for her passage to Sweden, but this was
refused. Mersereau. alleges the plain
tiff, subsequently sent to her his physi
cian. Dr. Robert H. Ellis, who assured
her that if she would write a letter ex
onerating Mersereau of improper rela
tions with her that Mersereau might
exhibit the same to his family, then the
desired funds for her home-going to
Sweden would be forthcoming.
On these representations Ilss Farret
avers that she wrote such a letter and
at the request of Dr. Ellis, who was not
satisfied with it, wrote another com
munication more explicit than the first.
Having done this, the plaintiff charges
that Mersereau ignored her altogether
and refused to advance her any funds.
Miss Farret alleges in conclusion that
Mersereau is a multi-millionaire and is
abundantly able to compensate her for
her humiliation and her ruined physical
condition. She demands Judgment for
$50,000. She is represented by Attorney
M. J. McMahon.

the funniest duel since "The Rivals" with
the fearsome armored knight and over
comes him in the most approved Marquis
of Queensberry fashion, scorning: the
primitive sword, though his opponent
wields one which might have staggered
Goliath.
In the closing act he awakens to ter
rorize his 20th century' household . with
the vagaries of his dream and proves him
self no slouch for courage In spite of his
aversion for the brave tales of the brave
days "When Knights Were Bold." . The
farce Is brilliant In its dialogue and capi
tal in Its construction. The conceit is
original and the wit keen. As presented
by Mr. Wilson and his company it is a
red-letter attraction. It will be repeated
tonight and tomorrow night.
Nell Gwynne," at the
Lyric Theater
BY ARTHUR A. GREENK.
IT was a somewhat dangerous experU
ment that Francis Wilson tried two
years or more ago when, being at the
time our. foremost comic-opera comedian,
he deserted the musical stage for what
Is technically known as the "legitimate."
His first venture was not altogether
successful, It seems, but when he secured
Charles Marlow's unique farce "When
Knights Were Bold," he got a medium
In which all the charm of his methods
finds adequate expression. It Is doubly
fortunate that Mr. Wilson brought over
Marlowe's English farce, In that for him
it is an admirable vehicle, and for the
public the combination of star and play
affords an evening of unalloyed enjoy
ment. It has been a good many years since
Francis Wilson last appeared here; how
many doesn't matter, but so large a por
tion of the audience at the Heilig last
night had either seen him in recent
years In other cities, or followed him
through the medium of report that when
he Btepped upon the stage .he was in
stantly en rapport with the representa
tive hundreds who were there to see him
play. That both the star and the sup
porting company equaled expectations
was attested time and again. Few act
ors do their work before a more appre
ciative audience.
Mr. Wilson, in the new piece, brings
the best of himself as we knew him in
comic opera with a demonstration of new
talents as a comedian, which found
small expression when surrounded by
the trappings of a musical show. There
are occasional suggestions of the buf-foonry,-
but they do not obtrude upon the
"legitimacy" of his performance. Two
hours and a half of relaxation with
Francis Wilson as Sir Guy Devere in
"When Knights Were Bold" are worth
half a season's dalliance with the com
monality of professional funny men.
Those who remember Mary Boland
from her brief engagement at the Baker
some four years ago were greatly
pleased with her development. A charm
ing leading woman, she has come rapid
ly Into prominence partly through hard
and sincere effort and partly by reason
of her natural endowments. Her Lady
Rowena Is excuse enough for eloquence.
George Irving, who Is cast as Isaacson,
gave a very capable performance, and
Joseph Allen, who plays the apoplectic
butler, is good enough to single out even
where the entire company averages so
well. Margaret Gordon and Campbell
Gollan are others who attract particular
attention.
The cast has evidently not been "filled
in" for the coast trip, for it will meas
ure up for general worth with any that
go on tour. The scenery and properties
and the gowns of the women bear the
Broadway hall-mark.
"When Knights Were Bold" is a scin
tillating travesty on the pride of ancestry,
the pomp of heraldry and like foolish
fetishes which are held in much favor.
The first act occurs In Beechwood Towers,,
the ancestral home of Sir Guy DeVere.
but lately come into the title and estates.
Being in love with a cousin. Lady Row
ena, his nose Is sadly out of Joint because
she evidently prefers the suit of Sir
Bryan Ballymote. a tuft-hunting adven
turer and considerable of a blackleg. The
Lady Rowena, his family and the guests
at his house party drive him near to dis
traction with their continual harping on
his noble forebears and their regret that
he lacks the dignity which should belong
to a Bcion of such stock.
Having caught a cold on the hinting
where, to use his "own expression, he's a
"rotter" and disgusted with the whole
snobbish of matching ancestors he takes
to hot whisky and soda and a comfort
able davenport before his fireplace as
solace. Falling asleep he dreams of "the
days of old." which have been o much
dinned Into his ears. In the Interim of
his nap some TOO years fall away and he
finds himself his own ancestor of his own
name at his own Beechwood Towers in
the year of grace 1196. Through the sec
ond act he performs mighty deeds of
valor, slays the wicked knight Sir Brian,
who would carry off his lady love, fights
THH closing weeks of the Allen Stock
Company's engagement at the Lyric
have been characterised by some splen
did productions; none, however, have
been more favorably received than, the
famous romantic comedy-drama, "Nell
Gwynne," which opened last night.
It was in the title role of Nell Gwynne
that the popular leading woman, Verna
Felton, made her first decisive hit In
a mature part, and her second presenta
tion shows a decided Improvement.
The central figure and heroine, the
great Kngllsh actress of over 200 years
ago, is one of the most charming femi
nine historical characters on the stage
today. She was the idol of the London
public and although of the lowliest origin,
rose from a child of the streets to be
the moat renowned actress of her day,
the favorite of King Charles II and the
most wldely-dlspussed woman of her
time.
Nell Gwynne, with her beauty, her
electric personality, her whims, her ten
derness, her temper, and her devil-may-care
moods, was withal the most lovable
of creatures. Miss Verna Felton In the
title role fills the requirements of such
a part charmingly.
-Her support is stronger than formerly,
the parts of Charles II, played by Will
lam E. Blake, and Forrest Seabury's Ira
personation of Lord Lovelace being ex
cellent character studies. .
