BROTHER AND SISTERS
SUE FOR PROPERTY
Gustave WedeI Decided Property
to the Savers

Trial OF a suit in which the brother
and sisters OF Gustave wedel, a musi-
clan. who died December 10, 1905. are
seeking to set aside deeds by which he
conveyed to Albert Sayers and Marie
Sayers property worth about $500
was begun before jury in Judge
Hunts court yesterday. Wedel rented
a fat in his house in Devisadero street
near Post, TO Mr.. and Mrs. Sayers The
deeds by which he conveyed to them
that property and also realty in Capp
street were signed September 1s. 1905
less than three months prior 10 his
death. They flied the deeds with the
recorder the day following WedeTs
death.
John wedel. Babette wedel and
Marguerite Bartman, the brother and
sisters of the decedent, claim that the
Sayers obtained great influence over
Gustave Wedel because he became
weak minded in his old age. and they
refused TO let him see or converse pri-
yateiy with his relatives. On the day
he signed the transfer deeds WedeI
made a will leaving the property to
his brother and sisters
Savers and his wife in their defense
say the gift was made to them VOL
unfairly. and that Wedel directed them
not TO file the deeds until after he died
as he did not wish his brother and sis
ters 10 know what disposition he made
OF his property.

that while spending an evening at the
resort with the girls who frequented the
back rooms some thaumaturgist had re-

WOMEN STUDY THE
TENEMENT LAWS
Public Health Association In
vestigates Unhealthful
Buildings
President of Board of Works
Scored for Not Enforcing
Ordinances

Tenement house laws occupied most
Of the time at the meeting this morn
ing Of the women's Public Health as
sociation, the speaker of the occasion
being DR.. George NJ. Converse. who has
been engaged in the campaign for san
itary conditions here under DR.. Rupert
Blue.
Dr. Converse declares that the tene-
ment house laws existing in San Fran
cisco at the present time are good. but
might be better. He also says that the
question of having laws is one thing
and enforcing them quite another mat
ter In this last particular DR.. Con-
verse considers that the women may be
of great use The enforcement Of these
laws lies with the board OF public
works and pressure may be brought
10 bear upon this board by organiZa-
tions of women.
In discussion IL was reported by sew
eral members OF the health association
that the board had been lax in issuing
permits for buildings, which by no
means, complied with the demands of
the tenement house laws. This is true.
il was said. particularly in regard TO
type of building known as Romeo fats.
These. il was declared. should come
under the rulings applying 10 tehe-
ment houses. but the president Of the
board of public works had said, one
member reported, that ne had decided
to exempt Romeo fats from this law
A resolution was passed providing that
letters be written to the board OF pub
lie works, the board of supervisors and
the mayor calling attention TO the state
of affairs. and protesting against the
favoritism it is claimed is shown to-
ward builders of Romeo fats. Dr..
Converse said that there should be a
more explicit definition of tenement
houses. or the law, should be more ex-
act in its wording.
The board OF education came in for
a share OF disapproval from those pres
ent, in that I'VE new schools are TO be
furnished with old style desks and
seats which are nonadJustaple and
which the city physician. DR.. James t.
Watkins. has declared are detrimental
] TO the health of growing children
Contracts with local firms are still
standing and no action has been taken
to provide modern furniture.
A committee, under the chairmanship
OF Miss Alice Griffith. will attend the
next meeting of the board of educa-
tion. armed with protests. petitions,
etc, and see what may be done TO in
duce the board 10 reconsider their de-
I cision.
Mrs. Sidney Smith Palmer and Henry
Fiske spoke OF their work in Sacra-
mento 10 secure the passage OF the
state tenement house law. which will
go far toward securing better condi-
tons.

sociation will be April 6. and the street
car conditions will be considered DR..

ent TO give the United Railroads side

About Cards

Three inches and half by two
inches and a half is supposed TO be
the proper size for a lady's visiting
card. and three inches by one inch and
a half for gentlemsn's.
There have been some slight yaria-
tions in size however. in ladies' cards
of late. and their tendency is TO be-
come smaller and smaller. Small cards
are more convenient 10 carry; but the
old fashioned size looks the best style
Some people assert that the first
visiting cards were originated from
playing cards in the days when ladies
used to stake enormous sums on faro
and pope joan
At the end of an exciting evening
some of the players would clsmor for
another meeting. at which they might
have their revenge, and one of the ladies
would scrawi her name and address on
one of the cards they had been play
ing with, adding the day and hour for
the renewal of hostihties.
Cards would seem to be returning to
their original use. for after years of
gentle seclusion they find themselves
written over in all kinds of ways and
unceremoniously sent by post.
