The board OF visitors has given
patient and careful hearing to the
voluminous charges preferred against

institution, at public meeting, cover

which was attended by every member
of the board The visitors then in
executive session, by recorded vote
refused to indorse the charges by de-

In the beginning of the investiga-
lion. the board was met with the re-
quest from both DR.. Barringer and
the welfare committee that they be
permitted to appear by counsel The
nigh standing and conspicuous ability
OF their lawyers made it peculiarly en-
barrassing TO the board not to accede
to the request. 1t has not been the
custom, however, in Virginia to allow
counsel before boards of visitors of
educational Institutions, and this board
deemed 1t wise to follow such sound
and established presidents. AS each
member of the board was thoroughly
familiar with both the charges and
the answer. together with much of the
evidence which had already been be-

A request from Mr. Fridays COM

was, of course, refused. It seemed to
the board that to have decided other

principle OF right and justice. The
aftidavits in question. it was admitted,
had never been seen BY DR.. Harringer:
he not only was ignorant of their ma

could not present counter-afttdavits,
but he had no notice whatever as TO

was not only impossible for DR.. Bar

mitted to even look at him. In this
respect, the board would have labored
under the same disadvantage with Dr.

who met his death in the Mccarthy

The trick Schuler is said to have
used is well known to the local po-
lice. He reads the newspapers to get
the addresses of persons who lately had
died. Then one of the cheap pens was
sent to each of the dead, SIS to be
collected. Usually the family, believ-
ing the c. o. d. package contained an
article ordered by the deceased, would
pay the charges.

SKELETONS CROP
OUT IN contest
Children of Late Albert BOScfike
Deny Mrs. AstOr Is his
Daughter

OAKLAND, May 3.-Family skeletons
in numbers are being dragged out OF
their closets in the trial of the contest
over the estate of the late Albert
Boschke. once a prominent civil en-
gineer and an inventor of note. some
of them saw the light today in Judge
Wells court and others are promised
The central figure in the contest Is
DR. Abby L. Astor, who says she is
Boschke's daughter. His other chill
'dren say she is not. Boschke's VIII
speaks of her as daughter and makes
her eXecutrix. Letters written oy
Boschke that have come out in evidence
speak of her as friend and not
relative. She is 81 years old and much
the senior of the other children, George
W., Albert l.. and Benjamin F. Boschke
and Mrs. Ida May Bergman, all Of
whom are oposing her claim to handle
the estate.
The estate has a problematical value.
Attorney II. w. Hutton, who was named
with Mrs. Astor as executor of the will.
testified today that it was probably
worth $4,000. 1t consists chiefly OF
patent rights in dredging machines and
of stock in companies organized to de-
velop improvements in dredgers made
by Boschke-
Doctor Astor was the target for sew
eral hours cross examination at the
hands of Attorneys J.. B. Richardson and
E. S. Page today. She said that her
first memories of Boschke were in Ma
con, Ga, at his mothers home, when
she was little girl. She always un-
derstoOd that she was his daughter
She could not remember her mother,
she said, and knew nothing of her. She
also admitted that in 1891 she lived in
Alameda in his household under the
name of Abby l.. Holton. She explained
this by saying that Boschke had re-
married and she did not wish his new
wife to know that he had a daughter.
Page asked her if it was not a fact
that she was the daughter of Samuel
r. and Esther M. Lord, which she Ie

Reinhold Hesse, civil engineer who
was associated with Boschke and who is
vice president of one of the companies
that is handling his patent dredger,

Mrs. Astor:

have ever met. She would rather lie
than tell the truth"
He said she had stolen papers from
him and had assaulted him with a
dagger. He also testified that he had
seen her threaten Boschke with

Second EXPERT ON
LUBBOCK'S BOOKS
Mayor Noy Surprises Alameda
City Treasurer by Order
ing Another Inspection

ALAMEDA, May s-For the second
time within month the books of City
Treasurer and Tax Collector Oswald
Lubbock, in whose office a shortage of
$570 was uncovered, which was made
good by that Official are being exported.
Mayor William II. Noy today put a GER
tilted accountant to work on Lubbock S
records, much to the surprise of the
treasurertaX collector. The expert was
taken TO the Office by the mayor this
morning and introduced to Lubbock.
The accountant went to work immedi-
ately. Mayor Noy declined to comment
on his action.
When it came to the knowledge of
Mayor Noy last month that there was a
shortage of $3.50 in the office of the city
treasurer-tax collector, that official was
ordered to make good the shortage
within a specified time. He did. Then,
at the instance of Councilman Sumner
Crosby, a committee of three was
named by Mayor Noy from the city
council to investigate Lubbock's office
and books. The committee consisted of
Councilmen Z. B. Bullock, John H.
Walker and Fred L. Krurfb. The COM
mittee had the assistance of j., L.
Fields, an expert accountant.
In the final report submitted by the
sponsibility for the shortage of $3.50 was
not fixed, the committee explaining that
nothing developed in the investigation
that would indicate who was directly
responsible for the shortage. Lub-
book, in statements made prior to the
investigation, blamed City Hall Deputy
George Christensen for the shortage.
Christensen denied all knowledge of
the missing funds.
The move of the mayor TODAY leads
to the theory that the investigating
committee uncovered something that
warrants the mayor having the ac-
counts of the city treasurer-tax col
lector inspected more thoroughly.
Il don't know why the mayor should
send another expert into my office,'
said Lubbock. IL am we'll able to take
care of my accounts and am not in need
of any assistance. The mayor never
intimated to me that he was to have a
second exporting of the books, and I
am puzzled by his action
