description Of the object Of her search,
and into whose life, cluoded by adversely,
it is her purpose to pour unlimited guam
tities of sunshine. Isiah Mandelstamm Is
a man rather below the medium height
and one whose appearance satisfies the
beholder that he has been in the habit Of
eating his bread in the sweat of his face.
He is not inclined to volubility when the
subject Of Friedman's death is preached,
but there IS. an air Of sincerity about him
as he discusses the matter.
His attorney is now taking steps to es-
tablish his clients claim as the legal heir
to this estate. the accomplishment of
which will raise Isaiah Mandelstamm to
affiuence.
The claimant, it seems has been a resi-
dent of ST. Louis for nine years past.
According to his claims, he was born in
Zagarren, Kovna Litau, and is the only
child of Isaac Chazkel Mandelstamm and
Michla, his wife, Mrs. Mandelstamm hav-
ing been Miss Kruger. She was the
daughter and only child of Rachel Krue-
ger, nee Jacobson. who in turn was the
daughter Of LazaP and Guete. Nessel ia
cobson, nee Friedman. Miss Friedman
had one brother, Solomon Elias Friedman.
No doubt Mandestamm could go back.
farther in the family history, for he has
the characteristic Of his race-the preser-
walton of names and traditions of his an
cestors-but enough is here shown to give
color to the claim he makes of being kin
to the dead Californian.
The question of heirship cannot under
the laws Of California, be finally tried
and determined before the expiration of
one year from Feb. Is last, the date of
issuance of letters testamentary. The
formal inquiry to establish this will be In
stituted through regular proceedings in
court.
Meanwhile there can be no distribution
of the estate. The executors will hold
the property subject to decision and or

for the relief Of INDECENT or sick persons
of that place of whatever creed. Other
requests are to the various charitable
societies of San Francisco, Catholic,
Protestant and Chinese. In providing
Tor the Hebrew Home for Aged and Dis
abled !sraelites he states that 1t is his
wish that the sanitary law of Moses in
regard to the food furnished the inmates
be strictly adhered to. The concluding
paragraph Is remarkable It is evil
dent that Mr.. Friedman had no Intention
Of allowing alleged widows to demand a
share Of his estate, as has been the case
with a number of San Francisco's
wealthy men. His will concludes with
the paragraph relating to bequests to
claimants of this character.
The popularity of this will is that 1t
makes no distinction in its requests be-
tween creeds, and that while its maker
was a Hebrew, religious ceremonies over
his remains are forbidden. Little II
known Of the life and family conneG'
tions Of julius Friedman. 1t Is known
that he was born in Mitau, Kurland,
Russia, IA the year 1926 or 1927. His
father was Solomon Elias Friedman, q
burgher of Mitau-so- he states in his
will
The family are Hebrews. julius Fried
man came to America about the year 1840,
and to Califoria about 1851. He traded for
a NUMBER OF years on the racine Quasi
and in the South Pacific ocean, and then
went to Oregon, where the greater part
of his fortune was accumulated. He re-
turned to California about twenty-five
years ago, remaining in San Francisco
until his death. There is some evidence
that he was the youngest child of his
parents, and that he had at least two
brothers and one sister. One Of the
brothers died in California in 1895; an
other died in ST. Louis. The time and
place of the sisters death are unknown.
FREEDMEN visited his birthplace about ten
years ago. On his return he stated that
his only living relatives were two
nephews and a niece, all of whom after
wards died, after which he asserted that
he had no living relatives of any degree
of kin.

is in that little word of three letters!

1, 1893, was produced and fled in the
probate court in San Francisco. The will
is Geographic, that Is, it is entirely in the
handwriting of julius Friedman. It was
admitted to probate February 10, of this
year, and the three executors named in
1t We're duly appointed and qualified, and
ara now acting as such.
With the exception OF the bequest of
ten shares OF the capital stock of the
Humboldt Savings and Loan society, val
ued at 81 900, and of requests to indt-
Yidual persons of 440 shares of San
francisco Gas and Electric company
stock, valued at $4,000, the entire estate
Is by this last will and testament devised
and bequeathed to charitable uses, the
amount thus disposed Of being Of the ap-
proximate value of $l32, 900.
The laws of California do not permit a
testator who has legal heirs to devise or
beaueath to charitable uses more than
one-thiId of his estate. Consequently. IL
Julius Friedman be proved to have left
legal heirs, the charitable provisions of
his will are void so far as tWo-thirds of
his estate are concerned, and the legal
heirs viii take these twO-thirds, less the
non-charitable requests, just as If he
had left no will. The amount thus COM
ing to the heirs Is about $277, 900. And here
IS where Dame Fortune, of flekle-jade
notOriety, is giving a jolt to some Of the
precOnceiVed notions entertained Of her,
for She is going about over the country
trying to ferret out some kin of Julius
Friedman upon whom or into whose pock-
cts it is her avowed intention to stuff
SIT, 900. And the old girl thinks she has
discovered the object of her search here
in st. Louis, says the Republic.
But about the will. The first para
graph names as sole executors William
AlVord. president Of the Bank of Cali
fornia; l. NJ. Friedberg, salesman, and
Edward R. Land, attorney at-law, all of
San Francisco.
The testator DEGREES that in the event
of his dying in San Francisco or his re-
mains being brought there from abroad,
the body is to be cremated and the ashes
placed In an unpretentious urn and de-
posted in the Columbarium Of the San
Francisco Cremation company. there to
remain until called for by a society
named Hebrew Home for Aged and Dis
abled of San Francisco for interment in
the grounds of the home For the ex-
pense of moderation he sets aside the
sum of $1,000, directing that the funeral
be conducted without ostentation, with
out eulOgies and without religious exer-
cises. He directs that bonds of his es-
tate be disposed of sufficient to purchase

in Germany as 'morphinismus.
