RICHARDSON'S WILL
ENRICHES WIDOW
Document Written by Iron
Works Secretary Leaves
Shares to Two Nephews
Remainder of Estate Valued. at
$4,000 Is Given to Mrs.
Gladys Richardson

Erskine Richardson's will was fled
with the county clerk yesterday. The
self-destroyed secretary of the RalstoH
iron works, after devising certain
shares to two nephews, leaves the re-
mainder of his estate to his widow,
Gladys Richardson.
The will is entirely in the handwrit-
ing of Richardson, and covers two
pages of the ordinary letter paper Of
the Ralston iron works. 1t was pre-
pared and dated September 1, 1908. and
has since reposed in a safe deposit box
of the Crocker national bank. On an
order signed by Judge Sturtevant at
the request of Attorney William w.
Deamer, representing the widow, the
bank opened the box and put the will
on record with the county clerk.
Richardson bequeathed to Dan Err
skine Egerton, a nephew, 1872 shares in
in the Ralston iron works and 63 shares
in the Potrero foundry; while to a sec
ond nephew, Seymour Piran Egerton,
he left 1S3 shares in the Ralston iron
works and 81 shares in the Potrero
foundry. An odd provision of the will
is the following:
ITO. Grace Hall of 1925 Broadway.
New York. I bequeath my Lutte"
The clause relating to his wife reads
thus:
The residue of my property, con-
sisting of money In the Crocker ma
tional bank. San Francisco. and the
Illinois trust and savings bank, Chi
cago. stocks, bonds and notes in box "a
OF the Crocker deposit vaults and In
the custody of James II. oliphant &
Co., New York, the furniture Of my
apartments at 2335 Pacific avenue, and
all other property I own bequeath to
my wife. Gladys Richardson"
The entire estate, 1t is said, is worth
about $4,000. H. J. Ralston of San
Francisco and Floyd w. Mundy OF New
York are named as executors of the
Will without bonds.

WHOLE DAY Is DISCUSSION

Washington, Jan. 21.--Just before
the senate adjourned Senator Aldrich
received letter from Secretary Cor
telyou explaining the delay in reply,
ing TO the resolution calling on him
for information concerning the recent
Panama canal bond issue and the let
ter was laid before the senate. Earlier
IN the day Tillman INDUCED in caus-
tic comment upon what he character
lied as the secretary's apparent dis
obedience" TO the senate resolution.
In his lttter to Aldrich, CortelyOu
explained that the delay was occa-
stoned principally by the great amount
of work necessary to prepare a full
and correct statement, and also by
the excess Of work in the department
clerks being Obliged to work overtime
even before the added burden of pre-
pairing a report in accordance with
the senator's request.
In the House.
unrestrained opportunity TO ex-
press views on the immigration ques-
tion was offered members of the house
by the decision. soon after converting,
TO take up and consider the bill ap-
propriating s25O.OOO for an immlgra-
tisn station In Philadelphia. and so
many took Advantage of It that the
code of laws bill, which the managers
of the house had planned to take up,
was sidetrhcked for the day.
The discussion Of the immigration
station bin opened op the whole sub
jcct OF immigration and excited the
interest of the entire bouse. Mem
bers on both sides clamored for recog-
milton. which carried with 1t the right
TO speak for an hour, If so desired.
The discussion served to develop
violent opposition, led by Hepburn
and Byrd, TO certain classes of immi-
grafton coming to the United States.
while others made earnest pleas for
them upon the ground that the pros
perity of the country had been al
vanced because of their presence in
this country.
The debate was notable in that It
was INDUCED in largely by members
serving their first terms and who
found In the bal chance to make
their maiden efforts at speech-making
on the floor OF the house.

owns low piece of ground between
Broadway and Jefferson streets, west
of Fountain avenue, asked that the
council have the city put in drain.

streets, so as to carry the water off OF
his ground. He said he would fill in
even with the road and the city could
tax this land at the value of $4,000.

$500. Mr.. Weikel stated in his letter
that in four or five years the prop
erty would be assessed at $4,000,
His letter was referred to the sewer
committee.
Owners of hacks, who rent them
for funeral purposes, in the past have
been allowed to charge only $3.50 foi

matter was referred to the ordinance
