Sorrow at Bohemian Club

Harry Gillig was an old time mem
Der of the Bohemian club. a clever en-
tertainer and a genial and kindly
cisco for many a year. The news of
his death reached the members of the
Bohemian club last night just as they
had gathered at dinner to honor Uncle
George Bromley. Many of them had
known Gillig all his life. and spoke
in deep sorrow of his passing. Nearly
every guest had some kind word to
say or anecdote to tell of Gillig.
Gillig possessed rich tenor voice.
and had intended to go on the operatic
stage. but after he married Miss Amy
Crocker, the divorced wife of Porter
Ashe. he travelled extensively and neg
lected his voice. Although his wife
brought him vast fortune, Gillig had
amassed a competence of his own.
Gillig was a product of that open,
free and jovial spirit that has long
lowered over San Francisco. He sang;
he told stories; his skill as a presti-
digitateur was that of a professional
He was member of the Lambs club
of New York, and as member of the
Larchmont yacht club he associated
with the socially elect of the city of
New York. His yacht was the Ra-
mona.
The parents of Gillig lived near Sac
ramento and it was there he grew up
The family owned a large estate,
famous in it's day. Gillig came to San
Francisco and in the early eighties
joined the Bohemian club. He was
graduated from Harvard and went to
Paris to cultivate his voice.
Upon his return he, married Amy
Crocker. This was in 1889. For many
years he and his wife Travelled and
then came the divorce with which San
Francisco society is familiar His wife.
it will be recalled, later was married to
Jackson Gourard.
Investments in Los Angeles
Gillig made his own fortune by in
His property holdings increased rap
idly in value until he had an independ-
ent fortune of his own.
1t is told of Giilig that the richness
of his voice attracted the attention of
Adelina Patti lie was with a partv
that serenaded her one night while she
was appearing in Los Angeles. She
was in her hotel at the time and sent
down to learn who 1t might be that
sang SO sweetly. When she found out
she invited Gillig and his companions
to her apartments.
One of Gillig's favorite diversions
was the sleight of hand art. He trav-
eled over India IN an effort to locate
the Yogi, fabled for their powers as
magicians. Out of his ability to do
little tricks, Gillig derived no end of
fun for himself and his friends.

river boats by his appetite for boiled

STANDARD OIL IN DIRECTORATE
William Rockefeller and Jacob a,
Schiff Elected Members of the
Executive Committee-Lo-
rec to Be President.

New York. Sept 14.-Robert S. Low
EFT was elected chairman of the eypcu-
tive committee of the Union Pacific rail-
road to succeed Edward II. Hartman
at special meeting of the directors
here. and Jacob II. Schiff and William
Rockefeller were elected directors in
place of Mr.. Hartman and II. II. Rog-
crS. Both of the new directors will
have places on the executive commit
tee.
The office which ILOvett assumes Is
by far the most important in the man
agement of the company and insures
for the time being Il continuation of
the Hartman policy.
While the Union Pacific still remains
without Il president, well Informed
men express the opinion that l.. f..
l.orco, president of the Delaware and
Hudson, will bc offered that position
to succeed Mr.. Hartman. Lovctt and
I.orce are more familiar with Harri-
mans point Of view IN the undeveloped
plans Of the Union Pacific and allied
lines than any other men.
AS the executive committee of the
Union Pacific stands today, with the
members increased from five to six. 1t
remains Il Kuhn, Standard Oil
board. Besides Jacob II. Schff and
William Rockefeller the other MEM
bcrs are III. G. Fricl, Marvin Hughitt,
II. s. Lovctt and Frank A. Vanderlip.
Robert s. Lovett came to this city
three years ago, having been brought
here from Texas by f. H. Hartman
as counsel of the Hartman lines. He
was BON in Texas in 1860. the son Of
farmer. AS Il youth he worked upon
the farm and later went to Houston
as Il railroad freight clerk.
While serving rs freight clerk young
Iovett studied law at night and was
admitted to the law firm of Charles
Stewart, then representative in con-
gress. He soon returned to Texas a
country counsel of the railroad in
which he formerly had been employed,
journeying from village to village, try
markably successful The receivers of
the road made him Il district counsel.
He Strengthened out the affairs of the
bankrupt company and incidentally
earned promotion as general counsel.
Governor Brown made him assistant
general counsel for the Texas and Pa
cific railroad at Dallas, and when
Brown retired Mr.. LOvett became gen.
eral counsel for the Gould property.
His next step was to become counsel
for the Southern Pacific. He amalga-
mated the system under Hartman and
was elected to the presidency of the
Houston and Texas railroad.
