SUIT FOR INSURANCE
IS FINALLY WON BY
MCCARTHY ESTATE
Francis P. Coan, Administrator, Gets
Verdict Against Metropolitan in
South AmboV Case.
ACTION FOUGHT A LONG Time

Following several trials, the suit Of
Mrs. Anna Mccarthy, Of South Amboy,
VS.. The Metropolitan Insurance Conn
pany for the insurance on her husband b
life, has finally been settled. The set
tlement comes too late to benefit the
original plaintiff in the case, however,
for Mrs. Mccarthy is now dead and
the fight of Francis P. Coan, the admin
istrator, benefits only the estate of the
deceased.
This case, which has Interested this
section of the country since it was
started about three years ago, was the
result Of the alleged refusal of the Met
ropolitan Insurance Company to pay the
principal of an insurance policy for
SO 900, which they had issued TO Thomas
Mccarthy. The insured died a Htt3s
over three years ago and the company
refused to pay. They charged that Nc
Carthy had been poisoned The case
was first tried before Justice Fort, now
governor, and Willard p. Voorhees,, now
a supreme court justice, represented the
insursnc company.
Francis P. Coan, a lawyer of South
Amboy, was then appointed admins
traitor Of the estate and pushed the fight
against the insurance. company and he
has recovered the full amount of the
policy, which was $1,000
With much expert testimony the de-
PENDANTS tried IN vain to convince the
courts that Mrs. Mccarthy had poisoned
her husband.
The first trial before Judge Fort re-
suited in verdict for the plaintiff,
which was afterwards set aside. A new
trial was then started and the case was
taken into the Court of Errors and APP
peals, where the decision Of the supreme
court was upheld. Mrs. Mccarthy died
on December 81, 1907, and since that
time Administrator Coan has been fight
ing until the courts decided in his favor.

FINE HOMES IN
PRESIDE TERRACE
Many Magnificent Residences
Are Constructed in the
Beautiful Park

The Merritt and White residences in
Preside terrace give an idea of the
character of homes which are being
constructed in this beautiful residence
park. The sidewalks in the terrace are
bordered with flowers, grass plats and
beautiful shrubbery. and as all of the
lots are of unusual width. none Of them
having less than so feet frontage. ample
space is left around residences for
lawns and flower beds. Az the result,
Preside terrace is becoming the favor
lite district for homes in San Francisco.
II is unfortunately the only residence
park OF which San Francisco has to
boast.
The Transformation from vegetable
garden to a residence plaza was eff
fected three years ago, at which time
Antoine Borel purchased what was
known as the Tibbitts tract through
Baldwin & Howell, and converted it
into a private residence park. Be-
fore Offering any of the lots, Borel
gave instructions that a most perfect
system OF street work ever undertaken
I'm San Francisco should be completed.
Sewers were laid. water and gas mains
were installed and asphalt roadways
with granite curbs and artificial stone
sidewalks were laid. telephone and
electric light wires were run I'M
derground in conduits. which avoids
the necessity OF erecting any poles IN
the terrace. More than $4,000 was
spent in laying out the roads and COM
pleting the other improvements.
The terrace Is confined TO residential
purposes, and the appreciation of this
restriction has become apparent, as
nearly all of the lots in the terrace
have been disposed OF. No lots are
sold for speculative purposes. The
purchasers must agree to build within
q stated time, which has usually been
six months, from the date Of their pur-
chase. NJ. Fisher several months ago
purchased six lots in the terrace, and
has disposed of five of them, together
with residences which he has under
contract to build for the new owners.

MANY SALES MADE
IN DINGEE PARK
Investors Realize That Values
Will Increase Soon

The fact that exceedingly real values
are being offered near Redwood City is
beginning TO dawn upon the general
public, with the result that during the
last two weeks sales in this section
have bid fair TO break all past records.
The public are always slow in real
szing and recognizing realty values I'M
less the property is right at their door
steps" said II. C. Tuchsen of Redwood
city. The result is that those living
in the vicinity of a good tract always
prove its worth by getting in on the
ground floor prices and buying all they
can possibly afford TO carry. You can
take IL that IL the lots in a suburban
tract are easily sold to the people liv-
ing near the tract that the tract Is
mighty good investment for anybody.
Take DinRee Park, for example. the
tract at Redwood City, now being put
upon the market with such great sue
cess by Baldwin & Howell. The big
gest part of their sales OF opening day
were made TO Redwood City people,
because of all those who attended the
clearly understood the condition of af-
fairs. and who really appreciated the
values they were getting"
San Francisco people are Just be-
ginning TO wake up TO the real condi-
ton OF affairs at Dingee park" said
T. NJ Pickering. secretary OF Baldwin
q Howell. 1T has just dawned upon
them that they can get a lot IN Dingee
park for 81 a foot that they can't equal
IN Oakland, Berkeley or Mill Valley for
FIVE times the price"

style, such as the celebrated gardens
at Tivoli, with antique garden archi-
lecture and accessories. Thus the build
ing will have permanent light and air
on the three fronts and viii also in
sure a pleasant outlook for all the
studios.
Besides the main entrance from Bush
street, there will also be a private
entrance to the gardens and building

the artists and visitors all of the ad-
vantages of the Suffer street frontage.

dumb waiter service, and will be steam
heated throughout; also in the base
ment there will be a fire proof vault in
which the artists may store their val
liable productions.
There will be 65 studios in the build
ing. The enterprise will represent an
Investment of upward of $4,000. The
property area will be 92:6x137:6. The
