CONTESTANT OF HITE
ESTATE LOSES CASE
Supreme Court Reverses Deci.
sion of Lower Tribunal

An important decision affecting the
estate Of John r. Hite was handed
down by the supreme court yester-
day afternoon. In the: case of Mrs.
w. Y. Grove, who appealed from
the decision Of the lower court against
the granting to Eta Gross of any
portion of Hite's estate, the decree of
partial distribution was reversed and
the case remanded with instruction to
the lower court to overrule the demur-
rer TO the written objection OF Mrs.
Grove.
Hite's will made Mrs. Grove. his
sister. a beneficiary IN the sum of
$40, ,0o0 and Eta Gross $4,000 There
was provision in the will to the effect
that any person who contested the
instrument should receive nothing. Hite
later added codicil In which he de-
creased the beduests to Mrs Grove to
$4,000 and of Eta Gross to $1,000 He
later made a third codicil, in which he
bequeathed 100000 to Mrs. Grove.
Eta Gross filed a contest to the
codicil. and Mrs Grove filed written
objection to an application for partial
stribution, urging that Eta Gross
had forfeited all of her rights in the
estate by fling a contest. Eta Gross
flied demurrer to the objection, which
was sustained, and the decree of partial
distribution was granted. Mrs. Grove
appealed and the decision was reversed.

HAPPY REUNION OF
PARK BEAR FAMILY
Mother Grizzly Overioyed When
Given Back Her Two
First Born Cubs

That the mother love in a bear is
more than a mere instinct was forcibly
demonstrated to spectators who yes
terday witnessed the reunion of Nellie.
the famous grizzly of Golden Gate
park, and the two cubs from which
she was separated a couple Of years
ago. No human ever demonstrated more
clearly her great joy at finding a lost
child than did this ursine mother when
her first born cubs were given back
to her.
While their inclosure was being sub
divided to make room for a pair of
Alaskan cubs which had grown beyond
the size which is deemed safe for the
children's playground, Nellie's cubs
were taken to her cage. AS soon as
they were brought to the outside of
the inclosure the mother began to dis
play her delight by little squeals and
spasmodic jumps into the air The
recognition was instantaneous and mu-
tual. for the bear children could
scarcely be controlled long enough to
force them through the small doorway.
Once inside the cage the cubs leaped
at their mother and the scene which
ensued was touching In the extreme.
Nellie began by taking the cubs into
her arms in true mother fashion. She
rolled about on the ground first with
one, then the other. pIayfuliy biting
them and emitting delighted little
growls. The youngsters returned the
ursine embraces and other demonstra-
tions of affection. which continued at
intervals through the day, and at sun
down the reunited family were hud-
died together In cozy little heap In
the cave sleeping happily.
For a long time following Nel1ie's
separation from her first born twins
two years ago she appeared to be sick
and it was feared that she would die.
She recovered slowly. however, and the
following year another pair of cubs
were born. These she killed irnmedi-
ately, as she did third litter last year
1t is the opinion of Superintendent Nc
Henry Of the children's playground,
who is a lover of animals, that the
mother destroyed her young rather
than have them grow up with her and
then be taken from her

CHINESE WORRIED
/. BY NEW OPIUM LAW
Oriental Money Lenders Refuse
to Advance Cash to Pay
the Customs Duty

What the future action Of the fed
eral government will be in dealing with
smoking opium found in the United
States after today was the cause or
much speculation among Chinese i'm
porters. Brief telegraphic instructions
received from Washington Tuesday by
the customs officials were taken to
mean that all smoking opium was to
be seized and destroyed Assistant
United States Attorney Black is Of
the opinion, however, that the anti
opium law recently enacted by congress
does not apply TO the opium landed
before the law went into effect.
Importers have paid s113,S9S for duty
in the last week. This represents
valuation OF S2O2.1s1. or 1888 pounds
of opium. To pay this tax the Chinese
have drained their Golfers and they
were only able to pay $10.57S duty yes
terday. taking out 1868 pounds.
They attempted to raise more money
but the money lenders were afraid that
if the treasury department allowed the
opium to enter the pure food bureau
Of the department OF agriculture would
order the drug seized as unfit for use.
In fact the law is entitled IAN act to
prohibit the importation and use" OF
opium. The customs officials believe
the department of agriculture will pro-
hibit its use.

MRS. PnIPPS SEEKS
VANISHED BROOCH
Society Woman Searches in
Vain for Heirloom Lost
at Kirmess

Who has pearl and amethyst brooch
Who is Juggling it from hand to hand,
and lying awake nights wondering
who owns it?
Mrs. Phipps, perhaps the most charm
ing dancer of the many at the recent
Kirmess, lost the valuable brooch, an
heirloom in her family. while going
through the evolutions of one OF her
dances, and Melville Bowman, a San
Jose society man. and also one OF the
Kirmess dancers. found the jewelry.
He thought he recognized it as Mrs.
Phipps' property, and sent word to her
dressing room OF his find. While he
was waiting to return the gems a
young man, yet another Kirmess
dancer, spied the brooch in Bowman's s
hand, and at once announced that he
knew who owned 1t. Bowman gave
up the brooch willingly. thinking he was
wrong in believing it the one he often
had seen on Mrs. Phipps. and dismissed
the matter from his mind.
Meantime the Phippses were impa-
tiently awaiting the return OF the
jewels. and, having moved from Oak
land to San Francisco shortly after
the Kirmess. they decided that Bow
man had lost track of them. Phipps
wrote to Bowman. and Bowman wrote
back telling how he had found the
brooch and given 1t to one of the young
Kirmess jewellers. But who this young
man was that had descended upon him
from the throng of merrymakers, pos
sessed himself OF the brooch and never
returned, Bowman could not for the
life OF him remember.
Nor has he remembered since that
time.
The Phippses believe that the un-
known young man also is in dilemma,
having discovered the brooch was not
the property of those who he thought
owned it. and. probably not knowing &
Bowman. is at a loss just where to
start in returning the gems to their
rightful pessessors.
