THE STOW WILL IN COURT.
PROVISION FOR THE WIDOW AND
SIX CHILDREN OF THE
DECEASED.
THERE WAS TALK OF A SECOND
WILL, BUT No OTHER HAS
BEEN FOUND.

"No will other than the one found last
week among w. w. Slows papers has been
discovered and all parties interested are
now satisfied that there is no other" said
A. n. Drown yesterday.
Mr.. Drown, w. F. Herrin and Wander
lynn Stow are named executors of the will.
which bears date of 1891, and will be filed
to-day with petition that it be probated.
at was thought that there might be a
will bearing later date" continued Mr..
Drown, land a second and close search of
all of Mr.. Slows papers were made and
his box at the safe deposit was opened,
but there was no will there.
'"There is provision of the will that
makes a handsome provision for the
widow, but how the balance will affect the
children will depend on the value of the
estate. If one-haf meets the requirements
of the provision made for Mrs. Stow. then
the children will fare better than if the
other half has to be encroached upon"
Sherman Stow said that the provisions
of the will meet with the approval of all
the members of the family.
1.-THE idea of father was that each of the
girls should receive $4,000 and the sons
$4,000 each. By. the will the unmarried
daugter will receive the sum named and
the other will receive-including what was
already advanced her-a sum to equal
SOC, 600. The sons who were given a start
in business will be entitled to receive a
sum to make up $4,000. If there is an ex-
cess after paying the several requests, then
the balance will be divided equally be-
tween the six children"
What the estate is worth is not known at
the present time. but its value is estimated
at half a million or more. Mr.. Stow had
but three pieces of real estate in San Fran
cisco. These are the family residence at
lob Pine street, piece of improved prop
erty at 1410 Larkin street and one at North
Beach. The bulk of the estate consists of
investments in the interior of the State
and large mining interests in Butte and
Nevada counties. The children who will
inherit under the will are Sherman, Van
derlynn, w. w. 'Jr., Henry T. and Miss
Nellie Stow and Mrs. Carroll Cook. The
father advanced Vanderlynn money to pur-
chase an interest in the business of Thomas
Day & Co. He bought large dairy in San
Luis Obispo for W. w. Jr., gave some valu-
able mining property to Harry T. and gave
Mrs. Cook $4,000 residence in Oakland as
a wedding gift.

CONTRASTING FOR AN OFFICE
JAMES B. ALLEN BEGINS A RECOUNT
OF VOTES FOR THE RE-
CORDERSHIP.
HIS FRIENDS CLAIM He WAS
CHEATED OF HIS RIGHTS
AT THE POLLS.

The recount of ballots for Recorder be-
gan yesterday in Judge Murphy's court,
when James B. Allen undertook contest
for the Office against its incumbent,
Thomas ]. Glynn.
Instead OF gaining, as Allen expected, he
lost thirteen votes in the twelve precincts
counted and gained only two, while Glynn
gained eleven and lost eight, which made
a net increase for Glynn of fourteen votes.
Edward S. Solomon represented Allen
and Matt J. Sullivan appeared in the inter-
est of Glynn. The Judge appointed Joseph
P. Stevens as tally-clerk, John Mccarthy
caller and John Burns stringer of the bal
lots, whereupon the contest opened.
Attorney Solomon asked that the defend
ant be compelled to contribute one-half
the costs of the contest, but the defense
objected. The court sustained the objec-
ton and Solomon paid SIS for the first
days expenses and said little more on that
subject
"Your Honor" he continued, "my client
is not a rich man and can poorly afford to
meet the expense of contest. For that
reason I'm not inclined to prolong this
count longer than is required to determine
who was elected Recorder. / would, there
fore, ask the privilege of selecting certain
precincts and districts in which my client
has been informed gross frauds We're COM
mitted"
The Judge hesitated, as he believed it
was an unusual proceeding to skip about
from place to place instead of pursuing a
regular course. Matt Sullivan protested
thatit would not be fair, and the Judge re-
fused to go out of the groove. The Twenty
eighth District ballots were ordered from
the Registrars vault, and counting pre-
clncts began at the first, continuing in
regular order.
In the First Precinct Glynn gained one
vote. Allen lost two in the Second, and
Glynn lost six in the Third. In the Fourth
Allen lost 5 and Glynn gained five. There
was no change in the Fifth Precinct
Glynn gained two in the Sixth, one in the
Seventh, two in the Eighth, and lost one
each in the Ninth and Eleventh. Allen
lost three in the Ninth, gained two in the
tenth, and lost three in the Seventh. The
totals were: Allen, gained two, lost thir-
teen; Glynn, gained eleven, lost eight net
gain for Glynn fourteen.
The total number of votes counted was
l4ol, and IN addition to these 221 ballots
were cast out as scattering" because they
mad double crosses and marks or were not
fully voted.
The official election figures give Glynn
22,54 votes, Allen 81 ,363 making Glynn's
plurality 1211. Aliens friends Claim that
during, the Haley-Curry recount they dis
covered fully 1900 votes which were stolen
from him. They expect a gain of only
twelve In the Twenty-eighth District. but
say that glaring frauds will be exposed in
the twenty ninth to-day.

Hts PLEAS ARE
VERY INGENIOUS.
ATTORNEY CAMPBELL SPRINGS A
SURPRISE UPON TWO POLICE
JUDGES.
MOTION IN THE DIVE CASE
He ALLEGES BIAS BECAUSE OF
THEIR PLEDGE TO THE Nom
PARTISANS.

Police Judges Low. Joachimsen and
Campbell sat in bank yesterday afternoon
in Judge Joachimsen's court to hear the
arguments on the constitutionality of the
dive ordinance.
Attorney Alexander Campbell Jr., who
represents eleven of the divekeepers ar
rested for violating the ordinance, sprang a
surprise upon at least two of the Judges,
which for the moment took their breath
away.
He filed an affidavit from each of the
eleven alleging bias on the part of Judges
Low and Joachimsen and made motion
for change of venue. The allegation of
bias is ingenious and goes back to the last
campaign. The two Judges referred to re-
ceived the Endorsement of the Non-P Partisan
party and pledged themselves to support
its platform. One of the planks of the
platform bound them to enforce the laws
gainst the dives ana saloons having side
entrances. This pledge forms the ground
for the charge of bias.
Attorney Campbell in support of his
motion read section 1431 of the Penal Code.
which is as follows:
If the action or proceeding is in a Justices
court change OF the place OF trial may be had
/. When 1t appears from the affidavit of the
defendant that he has reason to believe, and
does Delieve, that he cannot have a fair and
impartial trial before the Justice about to try
the case, by reason of the prejudice or bias of
such Justice, the cause must be transferred to
another Justice of the same or an adjoining
township. 2. When it appears from affidavits
that the defendant cannot have fair and i'm
partial trial, by reason of the prejudice of the
cltlzens OF the township. the cause must be
transferred to Justice of township where
the same prejudice does not exist.
He also referred to the decision of Judge
Murphy about year ago in the case of
John McAuliffe, the pngilist, charged with
battery upon young Mitchell. McAuliffe
moved in Judge Conlan's court for change
of venue on the ground of personal bias
The motion was denied, and on appeal
Judge Murphy overruled the Police Judge
and held that it was only necessary for a
defendant to make affidavit alleging bias
on the part of the Judge to secure change
of venue.
Prosecuting Attorney Dare opposed the
motion for change of venue.
eff that were the case" he said, at
would incapacitate every Judge in the city
from trying these cases, as they have all
sworn to support the constitution of the
United States and enforce the laws of the
land, and the municipal ordinances were
part of these laws"
The Judges denied the motion of Attor-
ney Camppel and fixed Saturday next for
hearing the argument against the consti-
nationality of the ordinance.
Attorney Campbell intimated that he
would apply for writ of mandamus to
compel the Judges to grant him change
of venue.
| "Well," said Judge Campbell as he
stepped from the bench, ''this does not
concern me, as | gave no pledges to any
party"

mating that Osmont was delaying the trial

during the delays one of Osmont's clerks
