BIG CALIFORNIA FORTUNES

half OF Those Who Inherited Them Are
Pepniless-
California has long had a reputation
as the home of the bonanza king, and
recently issued document, based on the
records Of the San Francisco probate
court, tells an interesting story OF the
contests and entanglements which have
massed about the last testament Of many
famous mi1lionaires and the final dispo-
sitiop Of the vast sums they left behind
them. The document gives the history
Of So wills, disposing Of $l75, 900, 0oO
About 400 heirs divided that vast sum,
and today nearly half Of that number
are penniless again, and only few
have succeeded IN adding to their in
heritance.
The average number Of persons pro-
vided for in each will was ten, though
in number Of instances, the most not
able of which was the case Of Florence
Blythe, the entire estates passed into
the hands of single heirs. The compar-
atively small estate Of Kate johnson,
which was appraised at Sl,250, 900,
reached more heirs than any other, the
number on the list being 30, while the
81, 900, 900 Of Thomas Blythe went to
the one child, Florence, after celebrat-
ed trial. The estate Of Maria Coleman
was valued at 81, 757, 900, and it went
equally to three heirs. Charles Crock
er's S22, 900, 00G reached six persons,
while Mary Am Crocker's 81, ,SS3, 657
went share and share alike to four Of
the six who got Charles Crocker's larger
fortune.
Peter Donahue's $S,7OS, s12 went in
equal parts to three heirs. Mrs. Theresa
Fairs S4,69S, $50 went to three persons
Charles L. Fair, Miss Virginia Fair
and Mrs. Herman Oelrichs-while Viii
Liam P. Fuller distributed his $1,771,-
262 to seven persons Of his name,
Emanuel Goldstein's $1,000, 0Q9wsnt
to six heirs. George Hearst,gsS, 78S, 1877
went in equal parts tolls wife and son,
while Walter~S EoLart's $5,273, s66
TenS htdfrds to his three children
Walter Hobart, Miss Ella Hobart and
Mrs. Winthrop Lester. Mary Hopkins
$40, 694, 76a went to two persons. Rob-
ert O. Johnson's $l,910, $50 went to II
persons in almost equal portions.
There are a few exceptions to the
general course Of estates, as il the case
Of Lick and Stanford. The S5,000,0 900
of the Lick estate went chiefly to one
heir and to number of trusts Of pub
lie nature created before James Lick's
death. Charles Mclaughlin left his
So, 476, 900 to his widow, while Alexsn-
der Montgomery SO, $50, $40 went to
three heirs. Daniel T. Murphy's S2,.
OF, $40 went to six heirs. William S.
O'Brien's SO, 655, $50 reached eight per-
sons. James Phelan left an even mil
lion, which reached four persons in
shares. and number Of small bequests.
A. j. Pope's s1,66o,o00 reached four
heirs. Washington Ryer left 81, 276, 3eS
to Is persons. Leland Stanford's S17,-

DIR. Gall, who was born March 8,
l158, held position as physician in a
hospital for the insane, and also as
physician to the emperor of Austria.
he began lecturing on the functions of
the brain IN Vienna in 1896. He had in
vestlgated for many years previously,
after the manner of Darwin. before an
nounc1ng his discoveries. His first writ
ten account of his work appeared two
years later in German periodical. His
pupils published several treatises vary
ing IN size, during the succeeding ten
years; and in 1909, DR.. Gall, together
with MS colleague, DR.. Spurzheim, pub
l1shed a great work in the French lam
guage Untitled, "The Anatomy and
Physiology Of the Nervous System in
General, and the Brain in Particular;
with the Possibility Of Recognizing
Many of the Moral and Intellectual
Faculties of Man and the Lower AMI
mails by the Cniguration Of Their
Heads" This work was published in
Paris, where Gall had taken up his res
ldence. It was in four large Quarto
volumes, with an atlas Of 100 plates, and
the cost Of the work was 1000 francs.
Gall discovered ~ brain centers Of
radical mental faculties out Of about
4S now recognized. His discoveries were
made In most instances by observing
excessive developments which gave cur
rency to the idea that phrenologists
always look for prOtuberances on the
skull. All normal heads are estimated
by diameters at different points, or by
expansion or distance from the opening
Of the ear.
His entrance upon this unexplored
field Of physical phenomena was inter-
esting. It dated from his youth. When
he was at the university he noticed that
he could not memorize his lessons as
well as a boy with pop" or protruding
eyes, who always passed him In the
class. He fell to observing other boys
with pop" eyes, and found they were
similarly proficient in memorizing. Dur
ing his post graduate course at other in
situations he observed the same me-
monic superiority in boys thus orbed. |
When he became a regular physician
this observation led him to others till
finally he entered upon the wide do
minion OF brain and skull formation.

THIRTEEN WERE DROWNED

 Seven Widows and a Number of Orphans.
 St Johns, N. F., Nov. 6-Steamer Tiber, Captain Delisle bound for Syd- ney, left here at 2 o'clock tonight. Fifteen minutes later, when just be- yond the entrance to the harbor, she collided with the schooner Maggie bound from Bunovista Bay for St. Johns, with cargo of fish and lumber. The schooner carried crew of nine and fourteen passengers, five of whom were women. The schooner had her lights displayed and there was no jus tification for the collision, because the night was clear and the schooner quite near the shore in a part of the en- trance where steamers rarely go. The shock of the collision was awful.
 The schooner was struck amidships

 Others were unable to keep afioat un- til the rescue boats arrived, and drop ped off the blanks. Two men climbed up the steamers side, and seven were saved by her boats. One woman was also saved, making ten souls in all res cued.
 The other thirteen, nine men and four women, were drowned. Captain Blum dons wife, who was bringing her con- sumptive boy to the hospital at St. Johns, was drowned, though her hus-
 bank had her on a plank. The boy was saved. The captains brother and nephew were also lost. Two passen- gers named Holway, brother and sis ter, were drowned, as was also James Power and his wife. Seven widows and thirty three orphans are the result of this catastrophe.
 The pecuniary loss is heavy Captain Blundon owned the cargo, valued at | s, ,000 Several other men had their summers wages, $400 a piece, with them, and two men had $1 900 each, and | were coming to St. Johns to make pur- i chases.
