NO UNDUE INFLUENCE
Equitable Building and Loan Associa-
ton Must Transfer Stock

Judge Van Dyke yesterday decided the
suit of Fred q. and Rosalind A. Calkins
against the Equitable Building and Loan
association in favor of the plaintiffs. The
uncle of Fred Calkins was the owner OF
fifteen shares of stocFt OF the corporation
which he assigned to the plaintiffs by en-
dCrsement in December, 1885, He placed
the certificates of stock in an envelope
upon which was a written request that 1t
SHOULD not be opened until one month after
his death, and that he desired that nobody
should know its contents. He also ex-
pressed the wish in writing that one
third OF the value of the contents of the
envelope should go to his nephew's son
Fred. These wishes were in the hand
writing. of Fred q. Calkins, who general
~ acted as amanuensis to the old man,
but the signature was that of Daniel
Calkins, the uncle, who made his relative
custodian of the envelope and its con-
tents.
The elder Calkins died m March 18th OF
last year in this city, and Robert Yeo-
mans was appointed executor of hi~ will.
When the plaintiffs applied to the Equitable
Building and Loan association for a trans
Ter Of the stock to them upon it's books.
the corporation refused to do so, and the
application was also resisted by the ex-
ecutor upon the ground that the assign
meHt had been obtained by undue infiu-
ence, and that the endorsement was in
effectual because it had not been deliv-
cred to the assignee during the as
signor's lifetime.
The court was OF the opinion that the
testimony showed no influence whatever.
The most that was shown was that Mrs.
Rosalind Calkins made herself agreeable
to the old gentleman, or as the jealous rel
atives described it, manifested an unusual
warmth of affection for him. That says
the judge. the law does not denounce any
more than it does acts of kindness, love
or friendship.
As to the question: of the delivery of the
certificates so as to pass the title, basing
himself upon the case of Ruiz VS.. Dow,
lib Cal. AGO. which was similar in its bear
ings, Judge Van Dyke says that the de-
livery of the certificate was sufficient.
Daniel Calkins relinquished his right over
the certificates when he assigned them
and delivered the envelope to his nephew,
and bN the same act he placed the right
of possession of the certificate beyond him.
self, and that is the essential and vital
element looking toward the validity of the
gift.

How very necessary and important 1t is

diner made declaration of homestead
upon the Banner tract property. which was
recorded at noon exactly.

posed unrecorded In Mrs. Williams clothes
press. along with other valuable docu-
ments, but something put it into her head
to. have the instrument placed of record
on the very day that Mrs. Garuiner de-
clared the homestead. The only trouble
was that she came in second best at the
race Tor records. Her paper was filed only
1t 3:56 p. M. nearly four hours after the
other. On February 1st of this year Mrs.
Williams assigned her note and mortgage
to L. Schlenker, who brought the suit
to foreclose.
Mrs. Elizabeth Gardiner in her answer
denied that her husband had ever been
indebted to Mrs. williams in more than
$685. and she personally owed hen moth
Ing whatever.

from senGing to you the statement you
were kind enough to ask for, as TO what
had been accomplished in the way Of out
fitting the army for the field, the conduct
of campaign, etc. Also the chiefs of divis-

the midst of the work can hardly realize
that an undertaking it is to call 200
men into the field at one time. coming from
all the states and to have them mustered
and gathered in camps on SO short notice
and this, too, when we had scarce any
camp outfit for their acc0mmoda ton. all
having to be provided for by the War De-
partment.
AS you know, when war was declared
there was no equipment whatever for the
volunteers in store. That this was sue
cessfuliy accomplished, with very few acct
dents, is a matter of record, Subsequent
