SHOWER OF TEARS
DISSOlVES ANGER

san FRANCISCO, June 10. Two
daughters of the late Charles H. Gilman,
father of Mrs. Maybelle Gilman Corey,
the actress who married the president
of the steel trust, engaged in a spirited
dispute in Judge Trout s court yester-
day concerning the issuance of letters
of administration over the estate of
their father After the court hearing,
however, their differences We're appar-
| emily dissolved in shower of tears.
Both Mrs Ruby Gilman Hagerdon
and Mrs. Pearl Gilman Alisky demand
ed appointment as administrators of the
estate Judge Trout intimated that he
probably would appoint the former, and
the sisters subsequently agreed that
they would join in asking the judge to
follow that course.
Gilman S estate is of little value, and
the only reason of the sisterly contro-
versy is the fact that several Honolulu
capitalists, represented by Attorney w.
| G. Deal, wish to have title quoted to
oil land in Kern county, which Gilman
once owned. The supreme court can
celed Gilman s title to the land, but
his children still claim an interest in
it Deal. it was stated Yesterday, has
paid $40 to Mrs. Hagerdorn and Slu0
to Mrs Alisky in consideration of their
REIMBURSEMENT of claim. James Munro
Gilman likewise sold out, while offers
have been made to Mrs. ALaybelle Corey
and Mrs. Cordelia Thomas, the latter
the wife of a wealthy New York broker
The basis of the agreement Yesterday
between Mrs. Alisky and Mrs. Hager-
don was that they should withhold their
signatures from the quitclaim until
they had been given another $1,000 be
tween them. Mrs Alisky charged that
her sister was acting in collision with
the Honolulu capitalists and against the
interest of her brother and sisters, but
this Mrs Hagerdon Indignantly denied
