TEST WILL

Legal Standing in Suit, as Con-
tractor Earned Money
Before Marriage

According to the will of w. S. Arnold,
who died in Oakland March 27, leaving
an estate valued at 100000, Mrs. Gar
nett Arnold, the young widow, will

sides the attorney being Ray H. Arnold.
son of the deceased by a former mar
riage, and Attorney H. II. Appel, rep
resenting the widow.
The bulk of the estate is left to the
son, and as the property left by the
we'll known contractor was earned be-
fore his second marriage in February,
last year, 1t is said the widow will have
no legal standing for a contest in the
courts.

STRANGE WILL CAUSES
DISCUSSION IN COURT

The will of Fred Gottschalk, who died
recently, was admitted to probate in
the superior court yesterday and proved
to be one of the most peculiar docu-
ments of its character ever passed upon
by Judge Rives.
The will, which is dated August 10,
1907, is an Geographic document, writ
ten entirely in lead pencil, and leaves
the entire estate, valued at about $17,-
900, to the widow, Carrie e. Gottschalk,
who is also named as executrix.
The peculiar feature of the will lies
in the fact that the signature contains
only the first name and the two last
initials of the deceased, Fred G. G.
and as some doubt arose in the mind oil
the court as to the regularity. the petit
ton for probate was submitted. Later,
however, the document was admitted.

The fashionable style of dress at the
present moment necessitates well-f1t-
ting underwear with absolute freedom
from bunchiness, for the up-to-date
skirt fits too closely about the hips
for the accommodation of bulky under
garments. The combined princess cor
set cover and underskirt illustrated ex-
actly meets the need of the well
dressed woman, for it is designed to
fit the figure with but little fullness
anywhere. The princess front panel
insures the straight, 'long line" effect
that characterizes the empire mode,
while the circular shaping of the pet
ticoat over the hips renders gathers OF
darts unnecessary Thus the only full
ness at the waistline is that needed al
the back to insure freedom of move
ment. The trimming of the garment
consists simply of the ruffle at the
hem which adds the required weight
at the bottom, and the usual finish OF
beading and edging, though as much
additional adornment may be applied
as may be desired. The garment fas-
tens invisibly on the left side of the
front panel Batiste, cambria or fine
lawn may be used for making, three
and one-half yards thirty-six inches
wide being needed for the medium size.

is 10 cents.

SAYS KINNEY'S AGENTS
FORMED VOTERS COLONY
CHARGES FILED IN SUPERIOR
COURT
Complaint Asserts About 15o Men
Registered Without Legal Right
and That They Were Employed
for That Purpose

| Alleged colonization of men for the
purpose of eIecting board Of trustees
| in Venice which will act in accordance
with the wishes of Abbot Kinney and
the interests he represents, is the
charge contained in complaint filed
yesterday in the superior court, in
which w. r. Mcconnell seeks to have
c. c. Keyes, county clerk, strike from
the great register of the county and the
precinct registers of the city of Ocean
Park between $50 and 200 names.
| A large number of names are con-
| tained in the complaint as defendants,
and many other persons whose names
are not yet known will, 1t Is claimed,
be designated later.
According to the complaint about $50
men registered as voters between April
and 13 who were not entitled to do so,
but were taken to Venice through the
efforts of persons employed by Kinney
and the Abbot Kinney company for
the purpose Of aiding by their votes
the election of the candidates nomi-
mated by the Good Government
league" which has full ticket in the
field for Ocean Park city offices.
Names Two Men
Mcconnell says he believes Kinney
and J. M. White, president of the league
and political manager for and adviser
of Kinney, were instrumental in die
tating the nominations on the league
ticket of a sufficient number of candi-
dates for the board of trustees to DOM
mate the board.
He says Kinney White, H. r. Hanna,
general manager of the Kinney COM
pany, and w. A. Rennie, deputy county
clerk, procured the men to go to Ocean
Park and register, on the understand
that thew
the Kinney company and given rent
free until after April 13.
The men above named are also in
cluded among the defendants, and Nc
Connell states his belief that their
names should be stricken from the
register because of their alleged action
in procuring others TO register.

And DAILY West.

And DAILY West.
The Boston News Bureau refers in
n recent issue TO Utah mines in the fol-.
lowing:
The Boston Consolidated company
has engaged the services of Sidney
Jennings of Salt Lake City, for many
years with the United States Smelling
company who will act as consulting
engineer and have practical charge Of
mining operations.
We understand that an extensive
plan of underground development is
under consideration for the company's
supplied deposits, which should result
In materially increasing the output of
sulphide ores This output has been
kept at about $50 tons per day for some
time, although a year ago shipments
ran as high as $50 tons per day.
The management of the Boston Con-
sclidated company will soon be placed
IN the hands of an executive commit
tee. The management now rests in the
hands of Samuel Newhouse, as nanag-
ing director.
Within another month it is expected
that the entire 5000 tons capacity OF
the MILL will be in commission and
the porplyry mine Will be in shape
to furnish the increased tonnage.
1t is the expectation of the manage
ment that With the placing of this adj
ditional mill capacity in commission
the Boston Consolidated company will
be able to show net earnings imn1e-
diately thereafter of between 100000
and 100000 per month.
j. E. Bamberger. president of the
DAILY West Mining company, has re-
turned to New York from Salt Lake.
The DAILY West company has a sur
plus in the neighborhood of $500, 900,
but dividends are not likely to be re-
suned until metal conditions improve
and there is an advance in the price

Interested parties are still at work
in quiet way on the merger of the
several Park City properties now under
Bamberger control with several others
in the camp. This Is planned to be ac-
.complished through the organization

In October, DAILY West showed net
earnings OF about $4,000, against be-
