ROBBED HOTEL SAFE
Charles Bland Gets SIS From
the Orient
WORK CONFIDENCE GAME
Stolen VaIise Is Found in
His Room.
WORK CONFIDENCE GAME

Charles Bland, who is alleged to
have robbed the safe of the
Orient hotel at the corner of Douglas
avenue and Water street. The man has
been working for c. a. Murphy. the pro-
prietor, since the Fourth of July. and
up to the first OF this week seemed an
honest fellow. He came to the hotel at
that time and said that doctor who had
been treating his eyes, said that he must
not go out in the sunlight very much.
He stayed around the hotel and worked
at odd jobs for the owner. He was
treated as a friend and had free access
to everything in the building. He claimed
to be a relative Of Ed Blood, but Mr.
Blood sad yesterday that he had hired
the man several time to work for him,
and this was all he knew about him.
Tuesday evening a man going through
this city set his vaIise down on a chair
in front of Mrs. Ryerson's restaurant
just across the street from the Orient. and
went inside. He was gone some time,
and Charles Bland and another man were
in the restaurant and when they came
out asked the cook at the restaurant who
the valise belonged TO. He did not know
and then went back into the restaurant.
He had noticed the valise some time be-
fore, and when he went out into the
street few moments after the men left,
the valise was minus Some time after
thu owner came around and asked where
his property was. No one knew. and the
matter was reported to the police, and
Officer Crawford was deatiled on the case.
AS Charles Bland was the last man
known to have seen the valise, he was
questioned, but denied all knowledge of
the thing. He began to get very nervous
under the officers questioning, and Mr..
Crawford told him to get that valise and
have Il ready for him by midnight Thurs
day. That night Bland was at work in
the hotel about II o'clock. and asked some
men who were in the room to stay
around awhile as he had some work out
side he must attend TO. That is the last
seen of Mr.. Bland, and he took with him
SO that was IN the hotel safe, the prop
erty of Mr.. Murphy. The owner of the
hotel had so much confidence in the man
that ne allowed the safe to remain open
when the man was around and Mr..
Murphy was away.
This was reported to the officer when
he came around after the valise. and he
went to the mans room in the hotel,
nd under the bed found the valise 1t
had been thoroughly searched, but moth
ing was taken, as there was not a thing
in 1t except some clothes. The officers
made a search of the room and found
small bicycle wrench that belonged TO
Mr.. Murphy's son, and also q small onyx
handle penknife hidden in the room.
High living, intemperance, exposure and
many other things bring on Brights

prevent Bright's disease and all other
kidney or bladder disorders if taken in
time Be sure to take Foleys. G.

BATTLING FOR KEMP LEGACY.
HEIRS QUESTION WIDOWS RIGHT TO
LEAVE PART OF HER SHARE
TO son AFTER GIVING
HIM INCOME.

Trial of the suit determine the right of George
Kemp to share IN the estate left by his father
begun yesterday before Justice Fitzgerald In the
Supreme Court The estate is now estimated to be
worth IS 0O.O0O and includes the Hotel buckingham,
the Belgravia apartment house. at No. els Fifth
ave-. and other valuable real estate.
Mr.. Kemp's will directed that the residue of his
estate should be held IN trust during his wife's
lifetime for her and his children, Marian Morgan
Kemp, Juliet Augusta Kemp and Arthur Tryon
Kemp. Mrs Kemp to have two-ffths OF the
residue with the right to give the income OF half
of her share to their son. George Kemp and it
provided that If she had disposed of half Of her
share to George Kemp when she died the remain
ing half was to be divided among the other chill
dren. BY codicil 1t provided that if Mrs.
Kemp failed to use her power dispose of the two
ffths of the property left to her. 1t should be
divided among the children and their issue, with
the exception of George Kemp.
The object to exclude George Kemp and his
issue from any share in his fathers property, un-
less his mother should make provision for him.
The reason for this discrimination against George
Kemp was said TO be his extravaganza.
When Mrs. Kemp died her will directed her ex-
ecutors to set aside sufficient portion of her two
hfths of the estate 10 provide income of 50 900
year for George Kemp, and she further directed
other children in the division of what remained of
her share. Mrs. Kemps right to create the trust
for George Kemp is questioned and 1t Is also con-
tended that having created the trust for him. she
had no power to give him equal share of what
remained OF her portion.
