Frame Tariff Amendments
WASHINGTON, April S.--Fearing
that the demands which they have
made for an opportunity to vote on
several of the principal schedules in
the Payne tariff bill might result in
changes which they consider more dis
advantageous than the provisions now
in the bill. nearly thirty Republican
members of the house met today and
agreed upon the changes which they
desired TO have submitted in the form
OF committee amendments.
At the same time a meeting of all
the members of the ways and means
committee was in progress to pass
upon the amendments which the sub
committee of Republican members had
submitted. The committee will report
about fifty amendments, including
those striking out the counteryailing

Inferring that they would vote
against any rule to restrict amend

by the ways and means committee, the
Republicans who met today decided to
send the following petition to Chairman
Payne:

Four Wives Acknowledged

According to those who profess per-

ne was married four times. The first
Wl1e was the mother of Mrs. Clara
Stocker. one OF the daughters named as
principal legatee in the will. The
hrst wife died and Baldwin was mar
ried to Mrs. Virginia Ford, widow OF a
well known San Francisco merchant.
Mrs Ford had two sons by her former
husband. one of whom is L. Courtney
FORD, we'll known local clubman. She
was later divorced from Baldwin and
large property settlement was effected.
Baldwin's third marriage was to the
mother OF Anita Baldwin McClaugllry,
the second daughter named as resid-
uary legatee under the will. This wife
also died, and Baldwin's fourth mar
rlage was to Lille Bennett, who sur

Other Wills in Existence

It is also whispered by friends OF
the principal heirs that Baldwin was
a great will maker during his life
time and prepared several documents
prior TO the making of the one now
in probate, all of which, 1t is said,
are in the possession of the executor
of the estate, and in none of which
is Mrs. Selby supposed to have received
as large a legacy as in the last.
So, while will contest is threatened
by those most directly interested In
the division of the estate, the turn
which such a battle might take is
merely coniectural. Fighting blood
has been aroused. a big stake Is the
prize to be battied for and the be-

Marriage Not Mentioned

Nowhere in this history of marital
relations is any mention made of a
marriage to Martha Agnes Fowler and
nowhere in this history is the birth of
daughter. Zelda. recorded. 1t was
said shortly after Mrs. Selbys identity
became known that her mother died
when She was but 2 years old. Now
the family intimates say that Mrs.
Selby's mother is still alive, havin G
contracted marriage abroad subse-
auent to the time of Zelda's birth.
In the event of contest by Mrs
Selby great reliance will undoubtedly
be placed by the proponents on the
provision OF the will, which declare s
that any one centesting it forfeits all
rights to share in the estate Such
a forfeiture clause, had never been
legally established in this state as
sound until just two days ago, when
the supreme court handed down q. de-
cision in which a similar forfeiture
clause was sustained as entirely valid.
The coipcidence of this decision being &
given at this time has greatly
strengthened the legal position behind
which Mrs, Baldwin, Mrs. McClaughry
and Mrs Stocker are fortified.

without contradiction that the Payne

that its provisions placed a premium

an interest IN public questions. There
are women who say that while they
believe in municipal suffrage for
women they do not see why il should
be extended to national politics. This
tariff matter simply shows that ma
tionaI politics affect us as well as local
politics and that we should rally to
the cause which includes all these
things. This is simply one detail of
the greater question, and as such /
think il should be left to the action
Of women's clubs rather than to the
suffrage association. Personally / am

against the resolution had she been

took the same stand as the others
however. and said she did not favor

the matter was not one in which the
