THOMAS AMBROSE'S KIN
GET S5OO,OOO ESTATE
Relatives of First Wife Lose by
SeaweIFS Decision

The 100000 estate of Thomas Am
brose, the San Francisco capitalist and
property owner, who died intestate
January 8. 1907, is to be distributed
among his three brothers, James, Mich
ael and Daniel Ambrose. the children
of another brother, Timothy, and a sis
ter, according to a decision rendered
yesterday by Judge Seawell The
brothers and sisters of Mary Dore Am
brose, the first wife of the dead cap
italist, were defeated in their attempt
TO share in the estate, Judge Seawell

contention that no part of the estate
was community property.
The Dore claimants were Bridget and
Michael Dore, risiding in Mar Mar Coon,
Victoria, Australia; the children of
a dead brother, and Ellen Flanagan
of San Francisco, who was killed by
a streetcar after the litigation was in
stituted. They based their suit chiefly
on the contention that Thomas AM
brose was the widower of Mary Dore
Ambrose.
1t was contended, however, that Am
brose lost the status of widowhood
when he remarked and did not regain
it, notwithstanding his second wife got
a divorce. In his decision Judge Sea-
well did not pass upon this point.

POTATO KING MADE
CHECK FOR CONSUL
Hsu Ping Chen Explains That He
Simply Indorsed Paper
of Merchant

That the check for $3.50 passed by
him to the Pacific Mail steamship
company and later returned by
declaration that there were not sufi-
cient funds to meet it was made out
to him by Chin Lung, the Chinese
potato king was the explanation made
yesterday by HsH Ping Chen, the Chi
nese consul general, regarding the
slight hitch in his financial operations.
THE statement that l wrote out the
check was erroneous" said the consul
general. Il received the check from
Chin Lung, wealthy potato dealer of
Stockton. and after indorsing it, passed
it to tie Pacific Mail steamship COM
pany in payment. for my passage to
China. A few days later I learned
that the check was not good and i'm
mediately went to the offices of the
steamship company and took it up,
paying $3.50 cash instead.
Il have telegraphed to Chin Lung to
explain the situation and 1 have no
doubt that sthe whole affair will turn
out to be a simple error | wish it
to be distinctly understood, however,
that / am not the maker of the check,
but merely the indorser."
In corroboration of his statements
the consul general produced the check.
1t was made out to Hsu Lin Sal
which he declares to be his canton
name-and signed by Chin Lung. The
consul general will sail for China next
Tuesday.
A delegation of Chinese school chill
dren and merchants will welcome Lii
Wing Yew, the new Chinese consul, to
San Francisco, upon his arrival here
this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The
representative of China is en- route
from New York.
For tile last two years Ii Wing Yew
has been stationed in Cuba, but his
activities in the consular service of
China have carried him to many parts
of the world. He was stationed at
San Francisco in former years.

to have the proceedings of the board

He complains that at the hearing
