tract the public announcement was made of the ten.year-old will.
 The earlier will was kept within the steel safe of Bardner w. Lee, attorney for the Baldwin estate, during the ten years proceeding the death of the turfman for the purpose of frustrating any attack oli the last will, which is said he feared. His success is shown by the signing of the contract the widow, it is said, being informed of the earlier will, and that if she succeeded in breaking the later will she would receive nothing from the estate.
 The existence eff the will was made pub lie when Judge Rives gave his approval of the sales of several parcels of the Baldwin property near Arcadi As a result of the signing of the con rract the inheritance of Miss Zelda said to have been increased from S50,ood to S25o,0OO Mrs McClaughrey and Mrs. Stocker will each receive $10,O00,OO0. When a contest of the last will was threatened by the widow it was warded off by the settlement on her of S1,375, ,OOO It was made to appear to Mrs. McC1augh- rey and Mrs. Stocker that the widow could tie up the estate for six or seven years with the various lies of litigation which would grow out of a will contest.
 Attorney Lee said he expected to have the estate ready for distribution in less than q year. Appraisers at work figuring valuation of the Baldwin proper ties which. it is now estimated. ire wo"t h CTS is expected to he filed with tEr court within q few weeks
 Under the will the cXecutor is instruct ed to sell enough HroPeIty to pay the debts and legacics and to divide the re- maindcr equally between Mrs. CIau@h- rcy and Mrs Stocker.
 IL has been estimated that these two heirs will reroi"e S10.GH1uG0 each after all the costs have been paid and after the settlement with Mrs. Baldwin has been carried into effect, including the payment of the S4aoOoo fee to the law ycrS who negotiated the settlelhnt with Mrs. Baldwin and another of unnamed amount to Gavin McNab of San Fran cisco, who represented the principal heirs and proponents of the will in the negotih- tions.
 The earlier will. :irSt it is understood. provided that the widow should have only a small share of Baldwin's profer- ty and disposed of all of his poSSession> in about the same manner as he did in the final will. which was made shortly lcfore his death.

DON'T WASTE THE PEOPLES
 MONEY

The Graphic has not improperly or foolishly' criticised any individual other city official, but the Graphic'e object is to bring about a more con. servative expenditure of the city's finances and is trying to impress upor the council the absolute necessity fol more public Improvements and less waste of revenues.
 There is no foundation for the con- struction put on the Graphic elitor- ials relative to the councils action in transferring the duties of collecting fines and forfei,ures of the police de- partment from the chief of police to the city collector The Graphic has made no reflection upon either the in tegrity or personal worth of any mem Der of the council. If the time ever comes when this paper feels that t owes an obligation to itself, the citi- tens and the city to discuss the intee- rity of any alderman or aldermen or any other city official with relation to the conduct of city affairs there will be no room left for doubt as to the construction of what it has to say.
 The Graphic has no reason to doubt that the rank and file of the city alder men are men having the welfare ol the city al heart, and an honest inten tion to serve the city conscientionsly But there are sins of omission as well as commission. The only points on which the council has been criticised by this paper are its failures to be more consistent in granting and lenv- ms piNileSeS, Sucn as m the shade tree incidents. an din granting certain privileges to sidewalk builders and reJecung the same requests of others. It has also criticised the councn for Its carelessness in adopting inc ordi- nance regulating the collection !. hnes and forfeitures of the police de- partment; when seven of the alder- men sanctioned the new custom n paying City Collector Russell 3 no, cent for collecting the receipts of tbe department, and when it has alwa, been the custom of the chief of no,icf and one of his duties to collect cam. and turn same over to the city treos urer without extra compensation. Tn, chief of police receives s11o nc, month for his services and the matta of collecting fines and forfeitures i; about the easiest part of his dail, work
