NJ 'MANUS WILL To
BE CONTESTED.
Kin of Undertaken Say
They Should Have a
Share of His $65,O00
WIDOW THE HEIR

OAKLAND, Aug. ia contest has
been Instituted over the will or James
McManus, a pioneer stableman and un-
dertaker, who dropped dead in his onhce
at Seventh and Castro streets July u,
leaving an estate valued at $65,o00.
suit was brought today by his brother,
Frank ]. McManus; a nephew, William
Phillips, and two nieces. May Phillips
and Ethel McManus. They assert that
the will filed for probate by the widow.
which leaves everything to her, is not
the last will of the decedent.
Several days after James McManus
died Attorney J. J. Mcdonald asked for
letters of administration on behalf of
the widow, Mary A. McManus, as the
nearest of kin. Then will that was
executed by the decedent February %,
1891, and had been in the custody of a
relative for fifteen years came to light.
1t left everything to the widow, who
filed 1t for probate. The document was
witnessed by ]. r. Capell and G. A.
willard.
AS soon as Mcdonald learned that a
contest had been filed today, he filed an
application for special letters of ad-
ministration for the widow. He inti-
mated that he expects a spirited fight
in the courts.
In the application for special letters
it is set forth that the estate consists of
promissory notes secured by mortgage
valued at $25,500, unsecured notes val
ued at $4,000, the undertaking business
at Seventh and Castro streets. valued
at $12,500; realty at Seventh and Cas-
tro, valued at $500, and $4,000 cash,
making total of S65,500
Besides alleging that the will filed
for probate by Mrs. McManus was not
the last will of the decedent the con-
testants declare that the purported will
was not executed in the presence of
Capell and Willard, the witnesses. and
there are the usual technical plead
ings.
For many years McManus was a
member of the firm of Freeman & Nc
Manus, liverymen, but more than fif-
teen years ago he engaged in the un-
dertaking business. He was a can
didate for County Coroner several
times, but never succeeded in securing
the office.

NEW MARK FOR OAKLAND
REALTY SET BY BIDDERS
Evers Estate Property on Washington
Street Brings $500 a Front
Foot at Court Sale.

OAKLAND, Aug. Il. There was
some lively bidding in Judge Melvin's
department of the Superior Court this
morning when the property of the late
Henry Evers on Washington street was
auctioned by that magistrate and was
sold to w. T. Harris for S14,500. The
property has a frontage of eighteen
feet six inches on the west side of
Washington street, between Seventh
and Eighth streets, where Evers con-
Quoted an undertaking business.
The bidding was started by Rod w.
Church, who offered $4,000, and was
raised by $50 and 800 until the prop
erty was secured by Harris. Church's
highest bid was s13,500 and that of
Herbert Breed, representing R. l.
Clark, was s14,450. George w. Reed,
attorney for the estate said the figure
marked a new line for realty holdings,
as the price paid meant $500 a foot for
the land, improvements not being val
liable.

FIGHT OVER WOMAN
NEAR GRAVE.
Husband and Mother of
Mrs. Neufer Contest
! for Her Guardianship
-.
.CRUELTYCHARGED

3 OAKLAND, Aug. 1T.-Did John Neu-
fer treat his insane wife IN cruel and
inhuman manner when he took her TO
Europe, ostensibIy TO have her treated
for her mental disorder
Neufer, who is a saloon keeper at
4oI East Twelfth street. says that he
= has done everything in his power for
the woman. His mother-in-law, Mrs.
Teresa Berchtold. says he has not, and
Judge Melvin will decide.
There seems TO be no doubt that the
woman is demented, but there is a
contest between her husband and
1notner over the guardianship of her
person and estate. Mrs. Berchtold in
sists that Neufer is not a proper per-
son to act as guardian, declaring that
his cruelty is partly responsible for his
wife's mental condition. She alleges that
he took the unfortunate woman to
Switzerland TO have her treated, but
that he locked her in her room, tied
her TO the floor and practiced other
acts Of cruelty. =.
On the other hand Neufer says he
has expended time and a considerable
sum OF money in having his wife treat
ed by the best specialists in the world
that be took her TO Europe for that
purpose. When the specialists had
given her up, he asserts, he brought
her back TO Oakland and asked her
family to care for her for the few short
months that she had TO live
They refused, he says, but later asked
him to allow them TO take her. II
was then, he says, that he refused
telling them that he was employing
professional nurses and that his wife
was receiving every possible attention.
Mrs. Neufer, who is a paralytic, was
examined by Drs. Z. J. Rice and H NJ
Fine today, but the examination was
not concluded. 1t went over, with the
petition for letters of guardianship,
until Monday. when the husband and
other relations will offer testimony in
support Of their claims.
Mrs. Neufer's physical condition is
critical and it is thought that she will
live only a short time.

EXPERT STUDYING
CALF FORN|A FIG.
Professor S. G.. Mason in
State Gathering Data
for the Government
EXPLAINS RESULTS

OAKLAND. Aug. 17-Professor S. c.
Mason, holding the chair of horticuI-
ture at Berea College. Kentucky, and
at present collaborating with the
ture, is making extensive investigar
tions into the Smyrna fig industry of
this State. The line of work with
which the professor Is most concerned
is that technically known as the capri
Tying of Smyrna figs. 1t is to this pro-
cess that the flavor of the Smyrna va
riety is entirely due.
Professor Mason, who has been max
ing his headquarters in Oakland, ex-
planned today how by one of the most
complicated of known correlations be-
tween plants and insects certain or
dinarily inedible varieties are essen
tial to the producing of the Smyrna
figs. These inedible figs are grouped
under the name of CAPT and they serve
which alone will fertilize the Smyrna
figs and further the CAPT figs to pro-
vide the home for the only insects
which can transfer the pollen. A
tiny wasp of the BIastophagos species
deposits its eggs in the interior of capi
figs and these eggs produce full
grown wasps that, on emerging, are
busted with the pollen of the interior,
and in the few hours of their outdoor
existence either enter a Smyrna fig.
where they perish after fertilizing the
fig, or find their way into another of
the CAPT species, in which case the life
cycle is carried on again. Three gen.
erations of these useful insects appear
successfully in April, July and Octo-
ber. and it is essential for the pre-
servation of the wasp stock that
Capri figs should be ready for their
reception.
The Capri figs, containing sometimes
two hundred of the BIastophagi. are
articles of commerce, and some or
chardists raise them exclusively for
the purpose of selling them to the
growers of the Smyrnas. The Smyrna
growers tie several wasp-laden speci-
mems on strings and throw them over
the trees bearing the other figs, and in
this manner the two are brought to-
gether.
Professor Mason, while conducting
his Investigations at Fresno and Niles,
learned that there are plenty of trees
for the April and October generations
of wasps, but so few are ready for
the July flights that part of his work
will be the tabulating of the kinds
of Capri fig trees that are receptive
at the midsummer season. The in
formation thus collected will be dis
tributed among the growers.
The secret of caprifying was jeal-
ously guarded by the Italian growers
for centuries. and 1T is only within the
past decade that Professor w. F.
Swingle of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture succeeded in
securing specimens which could be
transferred to this country.
