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

San Francisco, July 21. 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

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.
