Few heard her sing during her recent visit, as she was i'll for weeks with ty- phoid fever which left her not at all strong.

100000 BLUFF
BREAKS WILL
Attorneys Get 100000 for Them
selves and Million for Widow From
Lucky" Baldwin's Estate.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, June By
risking 100000 or their Judgment that
they could literally bluff the principal
heirs TO the estate of the late K. ],
C"Lucky"l Baldwin. the famous turf
man who died at his home near this
city recently, five attorneys Of this
city and one Of San Francisco broke
the famous Baldwin will. won 100000
for themselves and $1,000,Q00 for the
widow, who had been cut off with less
than S150.000.
The details OF The Igamble-for a
gamble 1t was-have just come TO the
surface. The favorite boast of
Lucky" Baldwin during his lifetime
was that he would distribute his money
where be pleased and that he would
leave a will that could not be broken.
To make sure that his will would stand
as he left 1t, he had clause inserted
which provided that il any heir should
contest it the contestant should lose
al of his or her share.
With this clause confronting them,
the lawyers set themselves to the task
Of breaking the will without contesting
It, and losing TO Mrs. Baldwin even her
small share, Before the widow would
allow tHe lawyers 10 20 dHedu, tuey
promised her that II they failed they
would stand all expense and would
paw to her In addition the $4,000
left to her In the will.
Then they came out into the open,
declaring Mrs. Paldwin's intention to
contest the will on the ground that
Baldwin was insane over women In
general and vas unduly Influenced by
certain women Of low repute at the
time that his will was drawn.
Gossips froEi enc end Of the state

IN anticipation Of legal fight repletc
With sensation and scandal, when the
announcement came that the heirs had
agreed to compromise. There was q
conference Of heirs and lawyers and
when it was all over the will of
Lucky" Baldwin was broken. Mrs.
Baldwin, the widow, was about a mil
lion dollars richer. Mrs. Rozella Rob-
inson Selby, a daughter. whose rela-
tionship to Baldwin was not suspected
until the will was read. was 100000
richer. and six lawyers had won

That City Guarantee Co. Against
Loss On Belle Isle Service.

If the council committee on ordin.
ances cannot reach an understanding
with the Detroit, Belle Isle g. Windsor
Ferry Co, as to Belle Isle fares within
the next two weeks, ferry service TO
the island for this season will be aban-
doned and negotiations entered into
for a new line to- the island next
year.
This is the program OF Chairman
Watson and the majority of the CON-
mittee.
I'VE will go the limit with the old
company and, if we cannot do busi-
ness with them, we will have To turn
to other parties for service hereafter"
says Watson.
THAT is a pipe dream" said Presi-
dent Walter E. Campbell, Of the ferry
company, in discussing the aldermanic
plan OF having The city guarantee the
profits from the Belle Isle service If
The boats arc run at the old rates OF
fare this year. Can the city legally
make such guaranteed" he added
pointedly. Campbell declares that bis
company Is still firm In its stand At
torney Robert T. Gray informed one OF
the aldermen that the company will
be satisfied with nothing less than the
abolition OF the fve-cent one-way
fares.

JUSTICE MAKES BITTER
ATTACK ON N. Y. POLICE
VIM. j. Gaynor Declares 1e-Year-old
Boy Was Arrested Without Cause
and "Mugged" for Rogues' Gallery.

NEW YORK, June 3.-Mayor Nc
Clellan yesterday asked Police Com
missioner Bingham for an official re-
ply TO a charge made against the po-
lice commissioner in a letter to the
mayor by Supreme Court Justice Will
liam ]. Gaynor, of Brooklyn, In which
the Justice makes some caustic re-
marks about the workings OF the New
York police department and declares
that Bingham lis possessed of the
most dangerous and destructive delu-
sion that officials can entertain IN q
free government; namely, that he is
under no legal restraint whatever, but
may do as he wills, instead OF only
what the law permits"
The mayor refused absolutely TO dis:
cuss the sensational arraignment OF
the head of New York's police depart
ment.
The charges made by Gaynor Great
ed a sensation both in political and
police circles and Gaynor's threat IN
his letter TO the mayor that he Will
carry the matter to the governor, has
given rise 10 the assertion by some
of the city officials that the episode
will start an inquisition into the fam.
Gus third degree" methods employed
by the police.
Gaynor's charges are the result OF
the alleged illegal 'mugging" OF
George B. Duffy, a 19-year-old lad OF
Brooklyn. In his letter the Justice de-
clares Duffy was arrested without
cause two years ago, and his picture
placed in the rogues' gallery. There
after he was marked man and was
repeatedly arrested on trumped up
charges and subjected to persecution
by the police.
Judge Gaynor told the mayor he had
tried several times to get the boys
picture out OF the rogues' gallery but
without success.

DR.. CLEMINSON SAYS HIS
WIFE COMMITTED SUICIDE
She Was Jealous Of Him, Prisoner
Tells PoIice-Preiiminary Hear
ina Set for June 9.

-tn9 Set-yoF- JUNG -
CHICAGO, June 3.-Dr. Ha1danc
Cleminson. of South Haven, Mich, Is
being held today without bail and
without prejudice" in connection with
the mysterious death of his wife He
was arraigned late yesterday In the
Ehefield-ape. police court on the
charge Of numbering his wife and his
preliminary hearing continued until
June 9.
In a two-hour and a half session
with Police Captain Kane, Cleminson,
the captain says, stated without reser-
walton his belief that his wife was
suicide. Several days ago the doctor
prescription was never delivered and
he kept IL In his medicine case. On
the day after his wife was found dead
Cleminson looked for this bottle and
could not find 1t. He believes Mrs.
Cleminson discovered the bottle and
knowing the nature Of its contents,
took enough to cause her death.
Cleminson told the police that he
and his wife had decided long time
ago that they were Incompatible. but
had continued to live together for the
sake of their children. Mrs. Clemin-
son he said, was Jealous of him and
frequently accused him CT attention
to other women. Whether or not,
these accusations were true, the physi-
clan would not say. Two weeks ago

his wife took morphine He was
awakened during the night by her
heavy breathing and saved her life
by prompt administration OF antidotes.
