HOTEL LOCATES
MISSING GEMS
Mystery Surrounding Dis
appearance of HolbroOk
Jewelry Quickly Solved
MISLAID BY HUSBAND
Porter. Ignorant of Box's
Contents, Stores it Away
in a Room at st. Francis

The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of box of diamonds be-
longing to Mrs E. NJ Holbrook OF Min
neapolis, a guest of the ST. Francis
Hotel, on the eve of her departure for
the north on Monday evening. was
cleared yesterday. Shortly after 10
o'clock yesterday morning the $1,000
worth of treasures were found in the
storercom of the st. Francis, where
they had been deposited by one of the
porters of the hostelry. When the dia-
monds were first missed Monday night
at the Oakland mole Millionaire Hol-
brook was certain that he had them
with him UP to the time of leaving a
carriage at the ferry, and promptly
wired the hotel management to look
up the driver of the vehicle with the
hope Of recovering them.
1t was discovered yesterday, how
ever, that Holbrook had carelessly left
the jewelry case in the basement of
the hotel while arranging for the ship
ping of his trunks. He found il neces-
sary to leave several other small ar
ticles behind him, and after he and
his wife had departed for the ferry
the night porter, little realizing the
value Of the jewelry box, picked it
up with the other articles and put the
package away in a storeroom on the
top floor of the hotel
Yesterday while the search for the
missing valuables was continuing Head
Porter Smith suddenly noticed a MEM
orandum on his blotter of the Holbrook
package. and. hurrying up to the top
floor, instituted an investigation that
brought to light the diamonds safely
reposing in their receptacle among the
other less valuable property of the
Minnesota millionaire lumberman. AS
soon as the matter was reported to
Manager Woods he wired the Hol-
brooks and is now awaiting instruc-
tions from them regarding the disposi-
ton of Mrs Holbrook's diamonds.

WHEELER'S QUESTIONS FAIL
TO SHAKE OKELES TESTIMONY
Witness in Dunsmuir Case Holds to
Former Statement and Helps
the Contestants.

Charles ]. Okell of the Employers
Liability Assurance Corporation spent
an uncomfortable day on the stand
under the cross-questioning of Attor-
ney Wheeler in the Dunsmuir case
yesterday at the British Consulate.
Okell on his direct testimony told
of conversation he had with J. A. S.
Lowe, former manager of the Duns-
muir Company. Lowe was one of the
witnesses to the Dunsmuir will and. in
his testimony in British Columbia and
in this city, said that he knew the in
strument which he witnessed was a
will.
Okell has testified that Lowe, after
giving his testimony, admitted to him
that he did rot know the nature of
the document at the time he affixed
his signature. Under California pro-
bate law this would render the instru-
ment void.
Despite the rigid cross-examination
by Wheeler, Okell stuck to his testi-
mony. Lowe upon testifying to the
same conversation continually answer

WHOLESALE GROCERS DENY
FILING OF A COMPLAINT
Story of Dissatisfaction Concerning
Awarding of Navy Supplies Con-
tracts Is COntradicted.

Wholesale grocers last evening dis
puted a story in an afternoon paper
that there is dissatisfaction among
the trade on account of the manner in
which contracts are awarded for
navy supplies that are delivered at
Mare Island. The substance of the
story was that complaint had been
flied at Washington against Pay In
spector L. c. Kerr by wholesale gro
GERS. If such is in existence no gro
GER has any knowledge of 1t. 1t was
alleged that John Rothschild & Co.
have been getting a large share of the
contracts, and the firms of Guggen-
hime e Co., the Lewin-Meyer Com
pany and Getz Brothers were men,
toned among others as having failed
to get contracts where their bids were
shown TO be lower than those of
Rothschild.
Sam Meyer of the Levin Meyer
Company denied emphatically that his
concern had made any protest or that
ii was in any way dissatisfied. J.
Fleishman of Guggenhime & Co. said
his concern was satisfied with the way
business has been transacted and had
no complaint to make. Frank s. John
son of the Johnson-Locke Mercantile
Company said that the business was
entirely satisfactory and that there
was no complaint against the navy
pay Office At the headquarters of
the Wholesale Grocers' Association no
complaint has been filed for trans
mission by grocers, nor had such COM
plant been previously heard of in the
Office. T. w. Van Sicklen of Dodge,
Sweeney & Co. said:

done considerable business with the NAVY De-
partment and 1t has always been very salts

and. We assume that the paymaster at Mare
Island examines the samples and reports TO

MUST PAY TAX
ON INHERITANCE
Judge Coffey Overrules OBJ
jections Made by Heirs
of Nevada Capitalist

Judge Coffey yesterday afternoon
confirmed the report of Special APP
praiser E. C. Harrison upon the por
tion of the estate of j. NJ. Douglass SUBJ
ject to inheritance tax in this State,
and the two nephews of the deceased.
who will divide s634,e26 II OF their
uncle's fortune between them, must
contribute s15,sTS Is each to the Cah-
fornia treasury. Mr.. Harrisons ap-
praisement is more than $4,000 higher
than the value of the California estate
reported by the executors on Monday,
making a goodly sum in favor of the
estate. The discrepancy is due to the
fact that Mr.. Harrison appraised the
Douglass securities at the market price
obtainable on the day following the
death of the Nevada capitalist, while
the later inventory purported to take
existing values. On this account Har-
rison's figures place Spring Valley
shares at $40 each, as against S35 in the
later report, and his valuation of Con-
ira Costa shares was $40, as against
$50 obtainable now. Douglass owned
1920 shares in the Spring Valley Com
pany.
Major Huffaker. the Nevada attor-
ney of r. L. and ]. NJ. Douglass, heirs
and executors of the estate, appeared
before Judge Coffey to object to the
proceedings, and moved that the spe-
cial appraisemant be referred back TO
the appraiser pending the set
tlement Of the question of the
courts jurisdiction, which he at
tackled. He raised point never be-
fore made in regard to the inheritance
tax law. He contended that the local
court had no Jurisdiction in the mat
ter, because Douglass owned no real
worth of realty in FL Dorado
County, and the inheritance tax would
have to be settled by the court there
Judge Coffey admitted that the point
was novel, but after Assistant City
Attorney Partridge and E. c. Harrf-
son had comhated the point with the
contention that the local court had ac-
quired the Jurisdiction through its jur-
isdiction in the probate matters of the
estate the Judge ruled against Major
HuffalSer and approved the report.
Huffaker admitted that the tax was
an obligation and should be paid, and
there will probably be no further difh-
Guilty excepting over the minor matters
OF expenses for the last illness and
funeral of Douglass and attorneys fees
to be paid. An account of the exec
utors was filed and approved. with the
exception of an item of $6725 paid by
the executors cut of the money in Cal
ifornia to Hufaker for services per-
formed for Douglass during his life
time. Huffaker said there was not
money enough in the Nevada estate to
Law the claim, and it had been paid
by the executors without securing an
order of court.
