Judge Brown Talks on Good
 Citizenship

Judge Brown delivered a strong ad- dress to a large audience at Che Pres byteriau church, Sunday night, upon the subject of Good Citizenship % The speaker deplored che need of a bet- ter citizenship in the United States, citing. to illustrate the need, the war between avaricious trusts, on the one hand. and union labor on the other the course frequently pursued by both of which he condemned in unmeasured terms. He denounced the methods of Wall street stock gamblers, whom he characterized as che most dangerous of all those who. being non-producers themselves. are seeking to tlch from from the people their hard earned money.
 The speaker took as an evil omen the recent Tammany victory in New York and the union labor victory in San Francisco. He referred depricatingiy Co the "wide open" municipal policies of Portland and Seattle.
 The moral courage of the business, and what Judge Brown called "the best men of Juneau, many of whom are church member" in acQuitting, as ilrols. Sabbath breakers, was con- deunej.
 Judge Brown says that if Alaska is Co get seltgovernment, it will be the duty of the best citizens to assert them selves. that good laws might be made and enforced. He stated that he be- ieved that would be the result when seIcgovernmeut shall have been eN- tended Co this district
 The speaker closed with an eloquent
 tribute to the American republic, which he believed would yet solve to the fullest extent the problem of good eovernmeul He claimed that a citi- zeu's work is only half done when he obers the law; che other half consisted in assisting Go make good laws and aid- ing tn their enforcement

.DRUMMERS GIVE
MINSTREL SHOW
Delight a Big and Brilliant
Assemblage Of Business Men
and Families at the AIhambra


In mercantile circles il fs considered
bad form 20 miss the "drumfnerS
show as the annual minstrel enter-
tainment given by Golden Gate Couns
Gil No. so, United Commercial Travel.
ers' Association, Is popularity alluded TO-
So it was not surprising to find the Al
hambra Theater filed 20 it's capacity
last evening by business men and theiE
women folk: nor was it cause for as
tonishment that the performance was
unanimously pronounced a "corker,'-
for most of the gags" ratified off By
the end men dealt witn persons and
things familiar to the audience.
William H. Brownie is better
known as Billy, although the come
dians respectfully addressed him as
"Mistah Brown sat in the center OF
the first part semicircle and acted as
receiver general for badinage from the
eight burnt-cork artists-Billy Brack-
ett, Billy Hobson, Sam Hall, Dave Fin
ney, Billy Hynes. Jack Einstein. Elton
Lambert and Tom Holden. Mr.. Hob
son told Nf an imaginary train ride to
heaven, during which he met many
well-known drummers and recognized
them by their ruling pendants. and his
fusillade of2 shots" kept the assem-
blage in roar Mr.. Bracket told some
adventures in which his friend McCarty
was the leading figure. Mr. Lambert
got a laugh on the house by glancinS
up at the gallery and saying, why. if
there amt my old friend, Judge Mo-
gam" and then yelling "Rubber!" when
the audience twisted its head around
to follow his gaze. Mr.. Lambert re-
peated the chorus of his song, Many
Rags so many times that when he
was finally permitted to desist his
breath was spent and perspiration was
washing the blackness from his coun-
tenance. Sam Halls Rain Song won
a double encore.
Billy Hynes, whose final appearance
as public entertainer 1t was, sang his
famous laughing song thrice over after
he had already contributed three vocal
numbers to the programme Mr. Elm
stein sang Oats de Way to Spell
Chicken" and a large basket Of Sc
lected vegetables was one Of the trib-
utes handed to him over the footlights
There were sentimental songs, Of
course, and all Of them were well sung
W. II. Brown and Carl L. Koening
sang bass solos. tenor solos were given
by Harry B. Smith and Fred Everett,
F. j. Giannini and F. B. Wade contrib
uted barytone solos, and the Columbia
Quartet H. Davies, James E. Dono-
hue. J. E. Scanlon and Robert E.
Davies-sang a couple Of popular num-
bers.
The olio consisted of a whirIwind
dance by Ruth Wilson and Irma Roper,
musical act by Regal and Driscoll, a
sketch by the Brittains. colored enter
tainers, and songs by Harold FOrman,
the choir boy. Casassa's orchestra
furnished the overture and accompani-
| mentS.
Aside from the local interest attach
ing to the show. it compared favorably
in general artistic quality with any
professional minstrel organization that
has appeared in San Francisco this
season.

CONTEST OVER
CLUNIE ESTATE
Widow of Late Congressman
Announces Her Intention to
Fight for a Larger Share
OPPOSES DISTRIBUTION
Claims That the Wealth of
Her Late Husband Was Ac-
quired After Their Marriage

The long expected row over the es-
tate of the late millionaire politician,
Thomas J. Clunie, has materialized.
Yesterday in the Probate Court Mrs.
Florence Clunie, widow of the deceased
Congressman, created a sensation by
opposing the petition for partial dis
tribution of the estate by Andrew j.
Clunie. her brother-in-Ia and by an
nouncing that she intended to ignore
her husbands will and claim half OF
the estate under the law governing
community property. If she carries out
her intentions and succeeds in show
ing that the estate of Clunie was ac-
quired after her marriage TO him she
will receive $500. 900. instead of the real
ty valued at about 100000 bequeathed
10 her in the will.
At the hearing Of Clunie's petition
yesterday il was shown that the estate.
which was appraised at $1.017. 900, was
in excellent condition With the excep-
tion OF debts amounting to $4,000, not
yet due, all debts have been paid and
a comfortable surplus is in the hands
of the executors of CfunIe's will. The
estate is in distributive shape, accord
ing TO the executors, and they have
certified that they are willing to turn
over 20 the heirs of the Congressman
such portions of the estate as were de-
Vised to them. II this were done An
drew j. Clunie would receive The ware
house property in Sacramento, Jack
Claring- Clunie, the adopted soh 81 the
deceased. or the executors Of the will
as his trustees, would receive the Clunie
% . ,SR toI fe,
Montgomery streets, nnd the widow
would receive she realty In Sacramento
and this city devised 20 her The eX-
ecutors of the win rs trustees for che
children Of Andrew Clunie would also
receive certain pieces OF Eeaity iest
chem by their uncle.
E. A. Bridgford, B. c. White and An
drew .. Clunie are the executors of the
will. They are also trustees Cor Jack
Claring- Clunie and che nieces and
nephews of the decedent. They hope
tn convince the Cours that the widow.
in the event shat she elects 20 make
her claim for half of the estate, is not
entitled to more than the share devised
her ~ the wil. They say that the
Clunie estate j. no: community Prop
eEty; that ia was acquired by che poll
tician prior 40 his marriage. They SO
testified yesterday.
Mrs. Ciunie also hopes 20 show thst
she is entitled to more OF the estate
than the Will gives her because OF the
existence of a large amount OF per-
sonal property discovered by the execu-
tors and, as she claims. not reported in
the inventory.
The petition will be given a further
hearing next Tuesday.
