quires Into Frisco.

Washington, July 15.-Formal order
for investigation of the st. Louis &
San Francisco railroad receivershlp
today was issued by the Interstate
commerce commission in accordance
with the recent congressional resolu-
ton directing such an inquiry. No

to begin an inquiry on its own initia-
tive into the operations of the St. Louis

Agents of the commission will begin
at once an examination of the books
and records of the companies with a
view to laying the foundation for pub

fonso, of Spain, will soon be able to
enjoy a windfall of 100000. bequeathed
to him by Albert Sapen, formerly
mayor of a small town near Toulon,
who died in an asylum some time ago.
The civil court here today pronounced
Judgment, upholding the testator's will
which his sister and their next of kin
had sought to have set aside on the
plea that he was insane when he made
it.
The court held that while Sapen suf-
fered from the mania of persecution
he showed that he was fully able to
conduct his business and had a valid
reason in an old family quarrel for dis
inheriting his sister.
