SMITHS BIG FORTUNE.
Sister Of Dead Man Arrived at New
York Last Night.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, April 225.-Denial was made
this morning by Sir George Alexander
Cooper, brother-in-law of James Henry
Smith, who died in Japan on March q on
his honeymoon trip around the world, that
he had said that he had brought with him
Mr.. Smiths will. Sir George and Lady
Cooper, Mr. Smiths sister, arrived from
England last night on the steamship
Deutschland and went to the Hotel Gotham.
II was asked hypothetical question
to whether the will would be probated here
and said 1t would, but 1 didn't say l had
it with me-" said Sir George.
He refused to say today whether he did
or did not have the will nor would he dis
cuss the possibility that the will would
be contested either by Lady Cooper or Mr..
Smiths wife, who was Mrs. Rh1nelander
Stewart or by other relatives.
An English friend of Sir Georges who
is staSing at the Gotham and who said he
was qualified to speak for him, made posi-
tive denial, however, that Sir George had
brought the will with him.
HE has not the WILL" this man said.
"Mr. Smith took it with him aboard the
yacht when he went on his wedding trip.
They sent the yacht home before he Lied.
At any rate, Sir George has no will, nor is
there any possibility that it would be pro-
bated until the arrival of Mr. Smiths body,
which we hope will be here the first week
In May.

in Wall street at from $50,OO0OOO to $751;

SAN FRANCISCO SENSATION.
Alleged Conspiracy and Plot to KidnaI
and Murder

SAN FRANCISCO. April ga sensa-
tional story was sprung in labor circles last
night of an alleged conspiracy and plot to
kidnap and murder P. H. Mccarthy, presi-
Gent of the Building Trades Council and
one of the most prominent labor leaders in
this city. The alleged plot is laid bare in
the remarkable affidavit and confession
made by H. Shockley. Shockley implicated
John Young, Jack Morris, Gus Burt, Gus
Smith and J. Van Frank. Mccarthy dis
closed the alleged scheme at meeting of
the Building Trades Council and gave to
the press what purported to be a confess
sion of Shockley which had been sworn to
before a notary public.
While the conspiracy is alleged to have
emanated from the Electrical Workers
Union, No. g. which has been at war with
the Building Trades Council and was re-
Gently expelled by that body, Mccarthy de-
clared that the Citizens Alliance was be-
hind the plot and furnished the funds with
which six men, according to Shockley, were
to go to Europe after carrying out the plan.
The motive for the alleged plot Mccarthy
finds in the enmity that the members of
Electrical Workers Union, No. 6, have for
him because of the part he took as presi-
dent of the Building Trades Council in the
expulsion Of the union from the council.
The union had called a strike of its mem
bers on the Fairmont Hotel some weeks
ago without the authorization OF the Build
ing Trades Council.
Mccarthy ordered the union back to work
under threat of expulsion. Refusing to re-
turn to work, the union was expelled and
it's members regarded by the council and it's
affiliated unions as non-union men, with
whom they would not work. In place of the
expelled union a new union of electrical
workers was organized by the Building
Trades Council. Vice President Sullivan of
the expelled union in an interview last night
declared that when traced back to it's source
it would be found that the alleged plot had
been Matched by Mccarthy himself.

A Chicken OF Character.


Everything is consistent about this ex-
position and it's accessories commented
Mr. Cannon with some perfectly natural
verbal embroidery. I'm willing to bet as
much as a dollar and a half that this
chicken has eaten out of the hand of Pocta-
hontas.'
There was some little excitement at Old
Point Comfort, too. The not overly large
pier was cluttered up with steam craft
when the jamestown got within whistling
distance, but that did not bother the able
and distinguished skipper of the craft He
party on board.
All the indications are that he was think
Ing about this very thing at the time. Any
how, the steamship jamestown didn't even
hesitate notwithstanding there was not
any room at the dock for a large able
bodied steamer of her size, and as a result
her sharp prov waltzed right into the
heavy piles and planking and tore up the
scenery something scandalous. Some folks
who were weak in the nerve department
and others acted equally foolish. But no
one was hurt. But if the jamestown had
only gone ahead a little more through the
dock. Uncle Joe could have stepped from
his place on the trunk deck to the front
porch of Mrs. Chamberlins fine and dandy
boarding house, without turning a hair.
But nothing quite SO serious happened,
and Uncle Joe" and the other members of
the congressional party were among the
most interested and enthusiastic of the
many thousands of spectators who wit
messed the whole pageant and the other
ceremonies incident to the dedicatory open
ing of the exposition. But no wonder the
congressman were interested; they had to

the noise. l. c. N.

Show a tumble.

II is not considered good form in polite
society to invite your friends to house
warming before the floors are laid and the
roof is on the building. So far as the actual
exposition itself is concerned today's cere-
monies were somewhat along that line. The
big show is just a tumble of building ma
terial and a chaos of unassembled essentials
exhibits with every nail undrawn. Harry
st. George Tucker and the other great guns
of the Dig show think, at least they say
they think, that everything will be as fit as
a fiddle by the 18th of May. Some equally

folks whispered in my ear today that the
