WILLIAMS WILL
CONTEST ENDED
Judge Morrow Dismisses
Suit Brought by
Goodrich.

United States Circuit Judge Morrow
handed down an opinion yesterday
sustaining the demurrer and dismiss
ing the bill In the case OF George E.
Goodrich of New York VS.. John w.
Ferris ct al.
This was a suit in equity for the
purpose of obtaining a decree adjudg-
ing that the final deree of distribution
in the Superior Court of San Fran
ciso In the matter of the estate of
Thomas H. Williams, deceased on
January 8, 1897, was fraudulent and
of no force and effect against tre oom-
piainant, and asking that the defend
ants be decreed to be trustees for the
complainant of that part of the real
estate of Thomas H. Williams, de-
ceased, which complainant claims he is
entitled to receive as heir at law OF
his deceased wife, who, 1t Is alleged,
was an heir of said Williams. The
court was also asked to appoint a re-
ceiver and to have an accounting for
the benefit of the complainant.
Thomas H. Williams died February
2S, 1886, leaving real estate valued at
$1,459,445 and personal property of the
value OF $6355. His only heirs at law
were his children-Sherrod. Thomas
H. Jr,. Mary Bryant. Percy and Bry-
ant OF whom all ex cept Thomas H
Williams Jr are dead. Percy left a
widow, Bessie L. Trahern, and Mary
Bryant left her second husband, the
complainant Goodrich, and Frank
Hansford Johnson, her son, by her
first husband.
The decedent in his will appointed
his brother, George E. Williams, as his
executor, with full powers. 1t was al
legged in the complaint that the trust
attempted to be created by the will
was void and that in all the proceed
ings before the Superior Court the ex-
istence of the complainant and his in
terest in the estate was fraudulently
concealed from the court. 1t was al
legged further that he had no notice or
knowledge of any of the proceedings
until Novernber. 1903. 1t was alleged
also, that the will gave Mary Bryant
decedent's household furniture and pie
lures and 100000 in money after cer-
tain payments had been deducted and
that the remainder of the estate should
be set aside in equal shares for de-
cedent's daughter, Mary Bryant, and
his two sons, Thomas II. Jr. and Percy
Williams.
Judge Morrow decided that the Cir
cult Court did not have jurisdiction.

SAN FRANCISCO.
By Mrs. V. Mott Pierce.

M, land OF sunshine and Of flowers,
u oh, glowing Golden West,
My heart Is numb with anguish
And sorrow tears my breast
To see thy sun-kissed tresses
Turned to an ashen gray,
Thy head bowed to the biackened
earth
Where fruitful opulence so late held
sway.
oh, Pearl of the Pacific wave,
Thou Goddess rising from the sea,
Stricken and withefed In thy prime,
My soul means out to thee.
Thy Golden Gates we've ever opened
wide
70 welcome stranger to thy ver-
dant shore,
Where generous hearts and out
streaehed hands
Claimed him q kinsman forever
more.
To enter once thy magic gate
Was to feel the subtle winning
charm
That pervades the air around thee
Like soothing, healing balm,
It softly steals upon the sense
Like rare and aromatic spice
Or the blossoming scent of orange
groves
Within thy earthly Paradise.
The sun, pale, rising on his course
Through heavens boundiess space
Cleans with brighter glory
When to thee he turns his face;
DER thee his shimmering robes are
flung,
His streaming pennons bright,
With roseate kisses on thy brow
From Ereryddf
The San Francisco call., 1906-05-22

He smiles a fond good night,
Then in his flaming chariot,
With prismic banners dressed,
He sinks to sleep in the tender arms
OF his dear, beloved West.
oh, brilliant land of girihood days,
Dear, sunny, fower-decked slopes,
Though miles of desert stretch
between
And blighted lie your hopes.
We love thee-how we love thee,
And shall, while life will last,
Fen though thy beauty perish
And be withered In the blast.
Undaunted will thy native sors
With hearts Of oak, courageouA,
true,
Lin up thy dropping golden head
And crown their Queen anew.
Tried In the crueibie of ERE,
More beautiful shalt thou rise
From thine own ashes, Phoenix-like,
Unto the smiling skies.
A gem of the Pacific seas,
A monument to those
Who stoically fought the fight
Through FIRE and famine's woes.
Brave sons and daughters
OF brave, fair cline,
Within the halls of fame
Shall ring the glory Of your deeds.
And honored be the name
of the dear land forever
Where hearts beat strong and great,
That City of the Golden West
Beside the Golden Gate.
He loveth whom He chasteneth-
Yea, even by the rod;
Look upwardthrouyh the darkness
And behold the face Of God.

State Senator Saunders. in speaking yes
terday OF the appropriation for the Iowa
School for the Deaf. said that at least
$4,000 would be granted for the institution
and possibly few thousand more, but It
would not exceed $4,000 The $4,000 to be
appropriated, he said. is for the installation
Of a new heating plant and the erection of
laundry building.
Originally S1O6,OOO was asked for the
school. but the Board Of Control cut this
to $1,000 and the joint committee from
the legislature which recently visited the
school further reduced II to $4,000. The
house committee on appropriations recon-
mended $1,000 while the senate committee
placed the appropriation at $4,000 At the
joint session Of the commlttees next week
Senator Saunders stated he had hopes that
the amount recommended by the house
would be allowed.
The school needs a dormitory building
for the small pupils. but this will now
have to go over until next year. The
grounds of the institution also need grad
ing and cement walks are required but
these much needed Improvements, owing to
the reduction in the appropriation asked
for, will have to be postponed.
