BIC ESTATE GOES
To UNIVERSITY
Provisions Are Practically Identical,
but Different San Francisco
Trust Companies Are Named
as Executors
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
FRESNO, Cal, May 31.-A second
and last will of NJ. Theo. Kearney, the
Fresno capitalist who died a few days
ago while on his way to Germany for
his health, was found this morning at
Kearney's castle on his estate ten
miles west of here and filed by Attor-
ney w. K. Harris and Manager Frizelle
of the Kearney ranch this morning
The provisions of the will are practi-
cally the same as the will discovered
in San Francisco yesterday. The prop
erty is left to the University of Cali
fornia.
Makes Two Wills
Mr.. Kearney made two wills. The
first. written at the ST. Francisco hotel
in May, 1904, named the Union Trust
company as the executor and also
mentioned William F. Alvord as a
trustee.
In the second, which was made in
November of last year at the Chateau
Fresno park, the Mercantile Trust
company of San Francisco is named as
the executor and the name of Prof S.
w. Eiilgard is substituted for that of
Alvord.
The news that Kearney had changed
his executors did not create much sur
prise, for he frequently changed his
bankers, as he did his lawyers, and he
never assigned reason for his action.
There is no mention made in the will
as to where his body shall be buried.
Leaves Estate to University
Kearney left to the state university
property which is valued by the ex-
pertS at $1,000,000 which yields an
enormous annual income. The alfalfa
. vie
of $4,000. and the income from the sale
of the raisin crop was between $50, 900
and 100000 year.
Kearney spent money laVishly on the
estate and careful management will
make the net income much larger.
The sum of $50 is left to any woman
who can successfully claim to be his
widow.
Another sum of $50 is to be given to
any child, male or female. who can
successfully claim to be his offspring.
Special Provisions Made
In case the will conflicts with the
provisions of the civil code (section
1879, the following gentlemen will
f. Alvord now dead, James D.
Phelan, w. II. Crocker, John Parrott
and Joseph d. Grant.
Special letters of administration
were granted to the Union Trust com
pany this morning by Judge Austin, in
accordance with the terms of the first
will. This was before the second will
was filed.
Frank H. Powers of the firm of Hell
ler. Powers & Ehman arrived here
last night in behalf of the Union Trust
company. When he learned that the
last will had named the Mercantile
Trust company as executor of the es-
tate he said that there would be no
contest.

KING AND QUEEN TO
RESIDE AT LA GRANJA
DURING HONEYMOON

The castle which Alfonso and his
queen have chosen for their honeymoon
is in the Spanish Versailles, known as
La Granja. 1t is a quaint and quiet
spot, far removed from the inquisitlve
throngs of the capital and with all the
picturesque and romantic surroundings
suitable for a royal honeymoon.
The palace is situated at the foot of
the imposing Pico de Panalara in the
Guadarrama mountains, high above
the sea level. The little village dates
from ancient times, when Henry w
built a chapel there and dedicated it
to st. Ildefonso.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-The senate
today passed the Knox immunity bill
and the lighthouse bill, with practically
no debate, passed the military academy
bill and was only prevented from pass
ing the employers liability bill by a
motion at p. m. to go into executive
session.
Most of the afternoon was devoted
to consideration in executive session of
the nomination of Judge James Wicker

circuit court for the district of Alaska,
but he was not confirmed
The charges against him which have
prevented confirmation for three years
were urged strongly by Senator's Nc
Cumber, Hansbrough, Nelson, Teller,
Pettus and a number of others. He
was defended by Senators Foraker,
Dillingham;, Bailey, Culberson and
Others. No vote was had nor did it
appear that one is imminent. He is

on which also rested two soft silken
cushions, upon which the bridal couple
knelt. Immediately facing the throne
were eilded divans, on which were
seated Queen Christina, Princess Henry
Of Battenberg, the infantas, the princes
and the members Of the Battenberg
and other royal families
Beside them were the foreign princes,
archdukes and grand dukes In their
richest court uniforms, with the prin-
cesses and duchesses I'm marvellous

envoy, who was i'm evening dress, sat
among the other ENJOYS, and Minister
Collier and Mrs. Collier were seated
with the resident diplomats.
The wife Of the American minister,
who was the only American woman
present, wore a Partisan court gown of
white lace over white satin embroidered
with silver roses. Mr.. Whiteridge and
Mr.. Collier were CONSPICUOUS owing to
the fact that they did not wear uni
forms. The ministers of the crown and
the highest officers of state sat further
back, and then came the nobility, the
grandees, the knights Of the Golden
Fleece and the field marshals, each in
their distinctive uniforms their breasts
scintillating with high orders, the sillSep
vestments of the ENJOYS of China, Per-
sia, Siam and Morocco lending the
scene additional touch of oriental color.
AS the royal couple entered the as
semblage arose and two hundred Choir
listers intoned a professional hymn.
The king looked calm, happy and
slightly pale, as usual. Across the
breast of his field marshal's uniform
was the blue and white sash of the or
der of Charles III, and on his breast
sparkled the orders of the Garter and
of the Golden Fleece.
Bride Enters With Mother
The bride entered with her mother,
brother and Queen Christina, the sill
vered embroidery of her wedding dress
refiecting the myriad of lights until
the bride seemed to be robed in Jewels.
Her veil, slightly drawn aside, revealed
her clear fine features, with cheeks
full of youthful color.
The king advanced to meet the bride
and they stood together as the marriage
service began. The ceremony was per-
formed with all the impressiveness of
the Roman ritual Cardinal Sancha,
archbishop of Toledo, robed in crimson
silk, officiating, assisted by a special
nuncio of the pope and the highest
dignitaries of the church, with scores
of acolytes and incense bearers.
Ceremonies Last an Hour
The ceremonies, which lasted nearly
an hour, terminated with the nuncio
pronouncing the pope's benediction on
the newly married couple, and the
chanting of the te deum.
AS the king and Princess Victoria
were pronounced man and wife, the
news was signaled to the waiting
crowds and all Madrid broke into fran
tic demonstrations of joy, while can
non doomed and church bells chimed.

had spoken couple of hours the first
day and there appeared large array

Hits at Allison.
This roast occurred just as Senator
Allison had arisen to leave the cham
Der to attend session of the commit
tee on appropriations, of which he is
the chairman. Senator Allison
and Senator Dolliver were two sena-
tors who remained in the chamber
each day during the LaFollette speech
as long as they could leave other du-
ties. Senator Allison was leaving his
seat when LaFollette paused and with
great dramatic effect, shaking his
head until his pompadour trembled,
and in frenzy delivered himself of
the foregoing roast 1t seemed to be

communes with Democrats.

Latterly Mr.. LaFollette has taken a
new tack. He is now in close commune
ion with the democrats. Last week,
during the final debate under the
fifteen minute rule on the rate bill
he voted with the democrats and was
in constant conference with Bailey,
Money, Culbertson, Overman and 9TH
ers. When a situation would arise
permitting action one Of the democrats
mentioned. or others Immediately went
to LaFollette and whisperao consulta-
ton followed. At the first opportunity
LaFollette took the floor presumably
along the line suggested by Bailey or
others. At all events he seemed to be
striving to embarrass the friends of the
administration in the conduct of the
rate bill
It has been suggested that Senator
LaFollette may be laying his plans to
capture the nomination for president
on the democratic ticket, with the ex-
pectation of being able to carry suf-
ficient number of republican votes in
Wisconsin to secure the electoral
vote of that state and other close
states.
Had His Own Way.
At any rate, nobody here seems to
be able to figure out how LaFollette
hopes to win republican support in the
light of the tactics he has followed
during the past two months. He has
not been directing his efforts against
his colleague Senator Spooner or
against the group in the senate, who
have been opposed to the President in
his effort to obtain an effective railway
