MAN WHO THINKS HE HAS LOCATED MILLIONS IN GOLD Court Holds Bill of Sale to. First Wife Transferring1 $300,000 Saddlery Prop-, erty Not Valid Will Ap peal Case. I John Clark's eons, John and Edward, and his daughter, Mrs. Lottie Apperson. will not gain control of the $300,000 concern known as the John Clark Sad dlery company. Judge Gantenbein this morning returned a decision In the stubborn and bitter family quarrel that has torn the Clarks since the first Mrs. Clark's death, declaring that the chil dren were not entitled to their father's property. Although the decision of the. circuit court allows Mr. Clark Sr. to retain control of the business that he has been the head of for so many years, the children will not allow the case to rest and Attorneys Bernstetrt' Shif Cohen served notice this morning that they would ask for an appeal to the supreme court. The trouble in the ClaVk family ante dates the filing of the suit last year bv some time. In 1894. Just prior to his leaving for a European trip, the elder Clark gave a deed to his wife, Elizabeth, for all ; his, property, real and personal. During the last years of her life Mrs. Clark took a very active part In the management of the business and It Is said that all the monthly state ments of the firm Were Submitted to her for approval. The bill of sale, however, given her lu 1894'as never placed on file. After Mrs. Clark's death Mr. ClRrk married again and the children quar . reled with their father and step mother, most of them leaving home, although W. T. Clark, the eldest son, stayed with his 'father as manager of the saddlery business. Last year the bill of sale transferring the property to the first Mrs. Clark was discovered and was filed by them while they com menced suit for recovery of the prop erty as their mother's heirs. During the hearing of the case much sensational testimony was given, among other things Mrs. Apperson, the daugh ter, claiming that her father had re peatedly refused to give her an allow ance, had not kept any servant and Tfiiitalii Keils Poter Sorrnsen of Chicago llieves he 'has Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island beaten to death. lie claims to know where $20,000,000 Jn , Kold builHon lies buried at the bottom of the ocean just where he can get at it and shows documents to prove the existence of the wreck laden with gold, tallow and wool, just where it has lain for 42 years.

She said that he finally ordered her out of the house, and she left him. W. T. Clark, the oldest son, took no part In the controversy that followed the filing of the complaint and the trial of the suit. In his defense Mr. Clark alleged that he had given the bill of snle to Mrs. Clark to be used only In the event that he died while abroad fend in order to save the expense and trouble of having an administrator ap pointed to conduct the business of the firm. He said that upon his return It had laid in the bureau drawer, for gotten.

Private William Buwalda, company A, First Battalion of Engineers, who Is serv ing a three-) car -sentence In penal servitude in the military prison on Mcatraz Island for having shaken hands with Emma Goldman, the an archist, at a meeting here two months ago, will soon be a free man. General Frederick Funston. com manding general of the department of California, stated to the United Press today that he had! written to the war partment at Washington recommend- In that the man's sentence be remitted and that he had received an unoffic ial answer stating that clemency would be shown, within a few weeks. Buwalda had served IB years In the army and was regarded as a good sol dier. The episode of his shaking hands with Knima Goldman and the suhse (juent court martial created a sensa tion In every part of tho 1'nlted- States. His case attracted attention In all parts oi me world. "I wrote to Washington nearly two weeks, ago," said General Funston to the United Press today, "recommending that Buwalda be released from- prison. I have not, yet received an official an swer to my communication, but T re ceived a personal and unofficial letter from .Judge Advocate General Davis al Washington, stating that the letter had reached the war department and that the prisoner would undoubtedly be shown leniency In time. Tine Man, Bays Punstoa. "I made this request mainly because the object of Buwalda's punishment had been achieved and the man is to) fine a man to spend three years of his life in prison. Wo wanted' to establish the principle that the oath of alleg iance taken by a soldier makes It im possible for him to become an anarch ist while he is wearing the. uniform of the United States. This h&s been done. "Buwalda took a very manly attitude after bis sentence had been pronounced. He told Captain Pope of his company that lie realized that he had done wrong and deserved punishment He said that he had been carried away by i Emma Goldman's eloquence and forgot himself. Ho stated that he was very grateful to me for having reduced the sentence Imposed on him by the court martial from 'five to three years. Avoided An&rcUsta. "I know that several attempts have been made by anarchists to approach Buwalda while he has been in prison and that he rerlstel all attempts to see him. He tukes the attitude that his punishment Is deserved and that shows that he Is too good a man to spend three years In prlsnn." General FunstOn scoffed at the state ment made some weeks ago bv a Span ish war veteran that the whole Hu walda affair hsd been planned before hand to demonstrate that soldiers could not express their .thoughts. "That is vnporing oj a diseased min i." said the general, "and e fv no more attention to It than we would to tho; barking of a yellow dog." :4 If f 9 HARVESTING GOOD CROP Reports FromWheat Fields Show Yield Will Be Far Greater Than , Estimates Juade Earlier in Season 20 to 25 Bushels. tit v 'a" Hit v 'H'--' - a Eastern Oregon and Wash ington Both Show Good Returns Heavy Increase in Fall Acreage Spring Wheat Only Is Short. .

Pv Hyman H. Cohen. The Taciflc northwest wheat harvest Is in progress In at least half the dis tricts of the three states and reporta are encouraging. Tho general condition of the fall wheat crop seems to be good in prac tically every section where the harvest hag begun and actual returns greatly Increase the yield; over tho pre-harvest estimates. - r , , yields of S3 to "S6 bushels to"vh empire thus far, no returns being r. ceived to date placing the cut at less than 15 bushels to the acre. Returns of less than 20 bushels are very Un common and thus far are noted only in sections where the rain supply was , short at least six inches from the nor mal. Even In the Condon district the re turns are 'much, better than expected. In that section it has been noted that by far the best returns are being received, from places that were well cultivated. In such a dry season the well-cultivated wheat field suffers but llttl from drouth, but in sections where lit tle attentfou was given cultivation and where wheat-growers allowed nature to take the full burden of the crop, tho Initial reports of the yield were -far from favorable but still not so bad as had been forecasted In some of the early damage reports. Oregon Yield Good. Returns of 25 to 30 bushels to tha acre were lately received from Heppner" section. Around Lexington, Heppner, ' Eight Mile, Gooseberry and several other spots of the Heppner section the.' yields are seldom ranging below 25 bushels to. the acre, and never to data this season have they fallen below 20 1 bushels. Around Pendloton harvest return show yields 'ranging from 20 to 35 bushels to the acre, the latter beings an exception as well as the former. While there is little doubt that con siderable damage was done the wheat crop of the light land! around Pendle ton, the actual returns 'from the har vest indicate that, as In other sections, the loss ' by reason of a deflcleny in moisture was badly Overestimated In the earliest reports. A notable feature of the Umatilla wheat crop tills season Is the very heavy Increase in fall acreage over former years and the decrease in spring sow- ing. Unusually fine weather during tha : fall and winter months allowed almost uninterrupted sowing of wheat all through that country during most of tha . fa II and winter, and as In other sections : the fall-winter wheat suffered but llttls because of too little moisture. Oood Crop In Willamette, The Willamette valley will turn out a much better quality of wheat this sea son and probably a larger crop. Grain men who have received Information from the valley's fields state that eon- . ditions were almost Ideal In most places touched lightly because of the shortage of moisture during the spring months.
