WOULD UPSET
COURT DECREE
Legality of Proceedings in
the Dunsmuir Will Case
to Be Contested Here
FORMAL NOTICE GIVEN
Advisers of Edna Wallace
Hopper Question Juris-
dictiOn of Probate Court
FORMAL NOTICE GIVEN

Edna Wallace Hopper, through her
attorneys, Campbell, Metson & Camp
bell, has taken the first step toward
having the contest over the will of the
late Alexander Dunsmuir transferred
from the British Columbia courts to
the Superior Court Of this State. Yes
terday her lawyers served formal no..
tice on N. p. Luxton, Andrew Thorne
and Messrs. Wilson e. Wilson, attor>
neys and agents of James Dunsmuir.
executor of the estate of Alexander
Dunsmuir, that on Friday next the
contestants will appear before the SUI
perior Court and move that the de-.
cree of May 8, 1900, admitting the
will of the late Alexander Duns-
muir to probate on letters of ad-
ministration of James Dunsmuir be
declared void on the grounds that the
court was without jurisdiction to grant
that decree.
The contestants in the notice filed
yesterday claim that at the time of
making the decree the court did not
obtain jurisdiction of any of the per-
sons interested in the estate nor iuris-
diction to enter any orders binding
upon the estate or upon them. In
proof of this claim the contestaEts
will submit the documentary evid. ei.e
on file and copies of the laws of s,sS
otdlC DCdl ll1S OAl pIOOdlS proceedings.
1t is asserted by prominent lawyers to
whom the legal points upon which
the contestants base their contention
have been submitted that the laws OF
the State were violated and that the
young actress has a splendid chance
of upsetting the entire proceeding or
the Victoria court and of eventually
winning her case.
According to the claims of Miss
Hoppers local attorneys, who are act
ing in harmony with Sir Charles Hib-
bert Tupper, legal advisor of Mrs. Joan
DunSmuir, mother of the late Alex
ander Dunsmuir, and his brother.
James Dunsmuir, against whom the
attack on the will is made. and Judge
Edward P. Coyne, Miss Hopper's per-
sonal representative, the entire pro-
bate proceedings in the Superior Court
here we're invalid. in that the laws of
California were not fully complied
with. 1t will be shown that the laws
of California provide methods for
settling foreign and domestic wills and
that Alexander Dunsmuir. having been
resident of California, his brother pro-
eeeded here under the law covering
domestic wills and then took the mat
ter to the Victoria courts. where he
ignored a requirement of the Cali
fornia laws in falling to have witnesses
sworn relative to the execution of the
will of his brother. 1t will be shown
that the witnesses were never sworn
in this State. In Victoria the will was
proved under what is known as tho
common form" of procedure. which
only requires an affidavit as to this
genuineness of the testator's signature
and a signed statement as to his
death.
AS appears in the papers filed. the
contention is that the will Of Alex
ander Dunsmuir has never been prop
erlv proved and that the local court
had, therefore. no authority to grant
letters of administration on the show
ing made bv the petitioner.

ing to the new year tonight with more
to an almost balmy evening, that in
vited additional thousands to join the
multitude who streamed up and down
Broadway for at least two hours before
midnight. Toward Old Trinity, ever the
central point of the New Years eve
festivities, the mob of downtown revel-
ers moved. Here horns footed the old
year out, while the chimes, which for
years have rung the half-hour before
the dying years last night, sang their
happy omen of the incoming season
The subway and the elevated and
surface roads were crowded to their
utmost capacity. tonight with parties
bound to get as near to Trinity as they
could. The Brooklyn bridge and all the
downtown ferries added their quotas,
until by IL o'clock Broadway was COM
pletely jammed from the City Hall
down to the Battery. The streets run
ming to the ferries were lined all day
with venders, who did great trade in
horns, rattles, whistles and other ear
splitting devices.
At 11:45 the solemn chimes of Trinity
pealed forth their parting to the old
year, followed by the bells of nearly
every church in the city. Almost in
stantly the tumult of horns and whis-
ties commenced, growing every minute
in volume until, as the midnight hour
struck, the whistles of a thousand
steamers, tugs and ferry boats sweiled
with their hoarse blasts the mighty di-
apason of welcome to the new year.
For nearly an hour the din continued
as usual, to the complete extinction of
the Trinity chimes, and then the multi
tude began to gradually float away un-
til at o'clock the lower part of the
city was almost deserted.
At the hour the chimes began the
multitude became SO great and so
threatening that the captain in charge
of the police on duty gave orders that
no more sightseers be allowed to walk
below Cedar street, and a police line
was formed in the middle of Broadway
to turn the enormous crowds of horn
blowing humanity down the side
streets.
Four hundred policemen, half dozen
captains and a number of sergeants.
roundsmen and numerous detectives
were on hand, and as the crowds
marched dcgn Broadway, expecting to
halt in front of Old Trinity, they were
turned aside and forced to 20 down
Wall street.
The crowds in upper Broadway were
also unprecedented and 600 policemen
were specially detailed In the tender
loin to keep the great pushing, crowd
ing throng moving along.

The exit of the old year and the
coming of the new was marked by a
great demonstration at the Merchants.
Exchange grain board yesterday. The
new quarters are nearly ready for the
board at California and Leidesdorff

the old quarters was the last to be af-

Perhaps this added zest to the demon
stration that the brokers contrived and
carried out to make the occasion
memorable and to break all records.
When the board was assembled yes
terday forenoon those who were in
the secret of the fun and who were
determined that no man should escape
until all the JOY was over locked the

sport which in circus handbills would
be described as fast and furious

werelbacked up by all the others, who
had one of the times of their life.
Bald heads and other heads and
clothing were showered with bags Of
-four of California make. Firecrackers
and bombs were exploded In all direc>
tions and at everybody and the din
was something quite unparalleled out
side Of a Chinese New Year fusillade in
the palmiest days of Chinatown. Men
of all ages and all degrees OF custom
ary decorum and gravity threw up their
hats and yelled until they were hoarse.
Hundreds Of men, attracted by the
noise. crowded to the exhange VI

There was Geo. Mackay, of Mackay &

Vermilye G. Co. Mr.. Mackay said:
ut is safe to say that the general
public has not been extensively in the
stock market since the panic of 1903.
Previous to that time nearly every
body who could buy stocks had some
interest in the great boom market
which suffered such a shock in the
Northern Pacific panic of May, 1902,
that 1t really eve recovered from It.
There was manipulation after that and
high prices. but as prices rose there
travelled alongside the agitation OF the
coal strike, and 1t became merely a
professional market, that ended in
September, 1902. with the collapse Of
the Southern Pacific pool. which car
ried down with II the whole market
and precipitated the panic Of 1903.
