ATTORNEYS ACCUSED
OF ILLEGAL ACTION
Stand Charged With Having
Unduly Influenced an
Aged Woman.

Attorneys Emile Leiss and Cameron
H. King stand accused of having un-
duly influenced the late Ida Thomson
in a contest of the will of the deceased,
instituted yesterday by her niece. Liena
Kock. The deceased left the bulk of
her 100000 estate to two nieces in
Germany, gave Leiss $4,000 and devised
King $4,000. The contestant was not
mentioned in the win.
The contestant alleges that the two
attorneys named prepared the will and
secured the signature Of Mrs. Thom-
son without disclosing the contents of
the document to her When she ex-
ecuted the will Mrs. Thomson was SO
years of age. 1t is alleged that she
was feeble in mind and body, bedrid-
den, addicted to the use Of intoxicants
and the possessor of a memory so
weakened by age that she did not know
her heirs or relatives. 1t is further
averred that she had no knowledge of
legal affairs and had lost the power to
read, being practically blind. These
facts, asserts the contestant, the attor-
neys took advantage OF and after con-
spring to enrich themselves caused her
to sign the document now in dispute.

FRUIT GAMERS
HEAR REPORTS
President Fries Reviews
Events of Year, Which
Was a Record Breaker

The annual meeting of the Califor-
MIA Fruit Gamers Association was held
yesterday. President William Fries
read his report. which announced that
1905 had proved the banner year of the
association, not only in the size of
pack and the total volume of sales, but
in the net profits, which amounted to
s463,9S5. The usual monthly dividends
were paid, completing a total to the
end Of the fiscal year of seventy-three
consecutive dividends, amounting to
$1,259,137. The surplus and reserve
now aggregate s1,161,770.
The fiscal year closed free from all
bank Indebtedness and with a normal
stock in good condition. Referring to
the entry OF the association in the
dried fruit and Baisin business, the re-
port stated as follows:
For many reasons we deemed II advisable 70
add to our canned fruit business that of dried
fruit and raisins. We are pleased to say that
the initial venture has worked out very satis-
factorily, and we propose to. extend our opera
tions considerably the coming year We shall
act along conservative lines, and propose TO
fruit business as far as possible In fact. our
policy in the dried fruit and raisin business
will be identical with that which we have
followed in our canned fruit business.
Our policy in rebuilding plants has been
to build substantially. bearing in mind the
future as well the present. Also in the
