WNDFALL FOR HEIRS
OF OLD-T|ME SAILOR
Descendants of Timothy VIM
to Draw $4,000 in Stock
and Dividends.

Reading like page out of an old ro-
nance. the case of Timothy VIM was
called before the bar of the District SUI
preme Court today for final disposition.
The actual proceedings today were OF
comparatively little interest. because they
had TO do merely with the fixing by the
court of the fees of the attorneys, but in
the statement of the history of the cause
the dust of nearly 100 years was brushed
away and all OF the story came to light
Timothy VIM was purser in the
United States Navy away back in the
twenties and thirties He died in 1896.
He was a canny soul because he gathered
to himself a material share of this
worlds goods. His estate, which amount
ed to many thousands of dollars was ad-
mnistered and distributed nearly sixty
years ago, but even with the disposition
of his money among his heirs his financial
doings were not told in their entirety.
This last chapter in the affairs of the
old-time sailor man was uncovered less
than year ago, when the directors OIL
the Franklin Fire Insurance Company
OF this CITY became weary of cred1tng
unclaimed dividends TO the account OF a
then unknown Timothy VIM. A search
was instituted for his heirs, and one
OF the directors Frederick A. Fennins,
persisted until he located Ine SUI Wv
ing members of the Winn family.
II was found that there were fourteen
era ndChildren. great-grandchildren ana
great grea grandchildren One of them
Was located in Washington. others in Bal
timore and others in different parts OF
the west The court order which Justice
Barnard signed today will have the ef-
feet of distributing among these heirs
$4,000 earned by the investment OF IL
notify Winn in the Franklin Insurance
Company This represents stock and I'M
claimed dividend.
The Franklin company was incorporated
IN 1878. and VIM was one of the early
stockholders.
II is not shown by the records what he
paid for the go shares that stood in his
name, but they indicate that he agreed
TO pay about 81 per share. and gave his
note for most of this amount. The note
was Cancelled by the dividends earned by
the stock, and thus it would appear that
Winn procured the stock for a song. The
80 shares now have a face value of $40
each, and the amount to he distributed
among the heirs also includes 5000 in
unclaimed dividends.

Entitled to More Time.

The attendance Wednesday afternoon
which is reserved for ladies and their
escorts. has proved that the ladies are
entitled to additional time. Last We'd
nesday afternoon more than three hun
dred women and girls bathed in the
pools. Beginning with Monday after
noon ladies will be allowed in the
pools from $50 until s. for the rest of
the month of August.
This will not reduce the number of
hours allotted to men, as the additional
pool fitted up this year makes 1t pos
sIble to have one pool for the men and
one pool for the ladies and their es-
corts. Ladies are requested to fur
nish their own suits, as the beach has
but a very few for rental purposes.

progress which has been made by the
committee appointed to frame rules and

he did not believe that any of the

is the object of proposed new i'm

lei J. Keefe, the commissioner gen.

proposed to accomplish this by codi-
flying, arranging in logical sequence
and Strengthening at their weak
points all existing laws on the gen.

Chinese exclusion.
Some of the principal suggestions
are:
So defining the term "alien" as to
leave no doubt that it includes all
persons not citizens; extending the
contract labor provisions to forbid
and penalize the inducement of i'm
migration by false as we'll as gen.
uine promises Of employment, pen
