SIMPSON ADDED WORDS
TO HIS WIFE'S WILL
Inadvertent Alteration Leads to
Revocation of Probate

An inadvertent addition by A. M.
Simpson, president of the Simpson lum-
Der company, of two words to the will
of his dead wife, Sophie S. Simpson,
led yesterday to the revocation of the
probate of the testament, and it will
now be necessary for Simpson to apply
for new letters of administration. Mrs.
Simpson left an estate worth about
S35, 600, dividing the bulk Of it between
her husband and her children, Louis
J., Edgar, Harry w. and Edith Simp-
SON To the clause dividing Simpson
lumber company stock between the
sons. Simpson added the words 'if
legal
Simpson himself applied 70 rthe rev.
ocation of the letters of admfnistra-
ton formerly granted him. stating that
his wife drew up the will at a time
when she was very i'll, and instructed
him to make any alteration which he
thought proper. When he wrote the
two additional words he regarded the
paper not as will, but as an informal
memorandum for his use and guidance
in carrying out the wishes of his wife,
Simpson said.
In revoking the probate of the will
Judge Coffey said ne was satisfied the
altera tion was an inadvertence.

the entire act went off smoothly, milk
maids and sailors, japanese and
geishas, spooks and graduates all fall
ing into line al the designated time and
place.
The chaperons and the women on the
committee in charge of the affair are
more than pleased with the way the
young people have thrown themselves
heart and soul into the work, and the
amount Of benefit they hope to reap for
the Telegraph hill charity bids fair to
be realized, TO judge from the advance
sale of seats Not only have most of
the boxes been spoken for, but the de-
mand for general admissions is great,
as almost everybody who is anybody

extravaganza cast, and as there are
some zoo persons on the stage, all told,

There is some talk of ballot being
taken on the final night for the pretti-

BIG REALTY SALE
IS CONSUMMATED
Swift 6 Co. Pay 100000 for
Site in Wholesale District
for Branch House

Thomas Magee & Sons announce the
closing of one of the most important
sales made in the wholesale district
since the fire. The property is the
northwest corner of Pacific and Davis
streets, fronting 1875 feet in Davis
street by 1894 feet in Pacific street.
The consideration is 100000. Possibly
the most interesting feature in con-
nection with this sale is the fact that
the buyers are Swift & Co., the meat
packers of Chicago, who are establish
ing a permanent branch on the coast.
While they have been located for some
years on their own property at the
northwest corner of Fifth and Town
send streets, desiring to locate closer
to the produces section and nearer to
the water front, they made the new
purchase
They have been negotiating for the
purchase of piece in this locality for
some time, appreciating that with the
opening of the Panama canal the ad-
vantage of being close to the water
front will be very marked. With them
in the project will be another large
eastern concern, Libby, Mcneil & Libby,
and substantial building Will be erect
ed on the lot. to be completed in the
spring. The building will be one of the
most UP to date of Its kind on the coast
and particularly adapted for the hand
ling of the new owners business. The
property has spur track facilities.
Harrigan. Weidenmuller & Rosen-
stirn have leased the westerly store in
the building to be erected on the Selah
Chamberlain property. on the north
line of Market street between Kearny
street and Grant avenue, which Cham
berlain purchased from the Bankers
investment company. This store has
been leased to Tom Dillon for a term
of 10 years at a total rental of ap-
proximately 100000. He is now To-
Gated few doors below this property.
The agents have practically leased the
entire building and will repxrt in a few
days the contamination of the leases
for the other stores in this block.

TO BECOME WIDOW
Mrs. Corrine Temple, Now in
Detention Hospital, Expected
Husband to Die Quickly
Former Designer at Court of
st. James Is Held in Cell
as Insanity Suspect

From the coveted office of designer at
the court of st. James to a cell in the
detention hospital as an insanity sus-
pect is the change that time has
wrought in the life of Mrs. Corrine
Temple.
Divorced by Warner Temple, an at
torney, and her five children taken from
her custody, Mrs Temple tried to end
her life November Is, last. She has
since been charge of the Associated
Charities.
Yesterday she was removed from the
Womans hotel, at Turk and Laguna
streets, to the central emergency hos
pital and booked for alcoholism. Her
conduct was such that the doctors de-
cided to place her in the detention hos
pital
I'm not crazy" said Mrs. Temple,
when seen in her cell. 'It is an out
rage to place me here where others are
raving all around me and I'll sue the
city for it,
Mrs. Temples maiden name was
Lowe. According to the story of her
life that she unfolded yesterday, suit
ors were numerous with her when she
was the court designer an Office carry
ing with it f1,000 a year.
Twelve others had asked me to be-
come their wife before Mr.. Temple did,"
said she. HE was much older than L
and did not believe he would live more
than two years. He said 1 could make
it possible for him to work out the sal
walton of his soul. l was a foolish girl
of "a years then and thought it would
be nice to become a widow in a year or
two because young widows in England
have much more liberty than single
women. We were married in the Brit
ish embassy in Paris"
Mrs. Temple told how she had been
engaged to Lieutenant Arthur Ling
ham, nephew of Earl Knollys, secre-
tary to the king; to Sir Thomas de
War, prominent distiller, and to
others more or less prominent. She
said Colonel Arthur Coddington, a very
wealthy man of County Meath and
Juan Immosi an Italian nobleman, had
fought a duel over her in Gibraltar in
1885.
Mr.. Temple is a bookworm,' said
the unfortunate woman. Il supported
him for years, but l was unable to do
so after the fire, in which l lost per-
sonal property worth $4,000 If L

COMET LARGEST
IN HISTORY
Of MAN

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Is
The residents of this section of the
state will climb to the highest
places tonight to view Comet A
1910" The visitor was first
sighted by a lucky few two night
ago. Last night the comet had
increased in brilliancy and length
of flight SO that thousands were
able to watch it until it disap-
peared under the horizon.
AS the suns rays recede and the
sky grows darker, the comet first
appearing as a faint star, begins
to shine of it's own light. Then
1t is noted that the tail reaches
nearly two-thirds up the arch Of
the sky toward the zenith.
THE huge comet" says Edgar
Lucian Larkin, the astronomer,
now on display north of the sun
at sunset is the largest foreign
body ever in the solar system so
far as is known since the art of
writing was discovered. The area
of the sun is about one-fifth square
degree, but the area of the lumi-
nous sheet of matter high above
and far to the south of the comet
is not less than 1000 square de-
grees.
No such thing is recorded in
the history of man. This comet is
beyond all powers of
description. We are now making
history that will endure for ages"

E. A. Douglas, formerly in charge
of the observatory at Flagstaff,

Comet A 1870" is double

Douglas says he notes that a Sec

while the first appendage pointed
upward.
