THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1896. JUGGLING WITH POSTOFFICE PLANS, Architect Aiken Responsi- ble for the Long Delay. THERE IS NO CONFLICT Statement That Judges and Post- master Disagree Rid- iculed. ROOMS ON DIFFERENT FLOORS There Is No Knowing When the Plans Will Fe Ready That Bids May Be Called For. The long delay in the beginning of work on the new Postoffice and United States Court building can now be safely attri- buted to the willtul neglect of the Treasury Department at Washington. was made to saddle the responsibility on the Supervising Architect at Washington. He in turn gave it out that Postmaster McCoppin and Circuit Judge McKennaand District Judge Morrow delayed the enter- prise by withholding the floor plans for their respective apartments and which had been submittea to them for any changes they might deem advisable. It hes been shown by the letter of the | Postmaster to the architect at Washing- ton, and the statements of the Federal Judges, all of which were printed in THE Cavy, that the assertions eminating from the office of the Government architect were absolutely without foundation. The Postmaster and the Judges made their reports in February last. They made many suggestions as to how they wanted their rooms arranged and these changes could have been made and the plans fin- ished since the original reports were made. Mr. Aiken sent another letter to the post- master in March. It was accompanied by a second setof plans. Four dayslater the An attempt | child born to-day may live to see the foundation laid. SUING FOR SUPPORT. Delin Beretta Thinks Her Husband Should Help Her Out. Delia Beretta is suing Angelo Beretta for $50 a month alimony. She alleges that they were married on July 30, 1871, and that since that time they have been able to accumulate property to the value of $60,000. Bhe says that on May last, without any provocation, her busband drove her from her home, and then filed a petition to have her declared incompetent and have himself appointed her guardian. This was done, she says, solely for the purpose of securing from the savings bank a sum of $1000 which had been deposited there and which was their joint property. When this money was se- | cured the order acclering her incompetent and that appointing her husband as ner | guardian were set aside, Since May, the plaintiff alleges, she has | been trying to support herself, and the | only assistance she has received from her husband has been §$90, which he gave her at different times in September, October and November. She bas no income ex- cept $20 a month from the rent of a house, the vplaintiff continues, and being in straitened circumstances she applied to her attorneys, P. F. Benson and W.H. Chapman, for advice. They gave her pa- pers to sign, and she afterward found that she had sizned an agreement not to ask her husband for support nor to see her children, She asks that the paper be declared null | and that her husband be compelled to pay her $50 a month for her support; also that | she bave the care of her youngest two | children. BALSTONS BOAT ALEA The Millionaire’s Bonanza Takes In Ten Inches of Water g an Hour. Now a Trading Schooner, but Origin- ally Built for a Wealthy Man's Pleasure Craft, Many and many a vessel has descended from a clipper to a collier, and others that were famous during the war as blockade runners are now used as barges or arks on the rivers and streams of the Atlantic and Pacific. Yachts have been turned into trading schooners and whaling vessels, and many a bome ashore has been built out of the remains of crack boats that { once housed the miliionaire. One of the most famous old-time yachts in San Francisco is the schooner of to-day MYSTERY OF THE SOMERS ESTATE W. J. Ritchie Says Its Value Was Not More Than $35,000. HINTS OF A SHRINKAGE. Testator Was Conscious When He Gave His Property to Violet Gratz Brown. LAST HOURS OF THE EDITOR. Ritchie, the Executor, Explains Why He Resigned—C. M. Palmer’s Memorial Tribu‘e. A few hours before his death at South- ampton, Eng., February 2, 1894, Fred M. Somers signed a will giving all of his prop- erty to Violet Gratz Brown, a young lady residing near St. Louis, Mo., to whom he was engaged to be married. The will was not offered for probate until some months after Mr. Somers’ death, when an action contesting the will was brought in the Surrogate’s Court, New York, on behalf of the mother and sisters of Mr. Somers, set- ting forth undue influence and incapacity on the part of the testator, A two-column story published in the New York World of April 13 has caused a deal of comment among men in circles of San Francisco, where Fred Somers was particularly well known, They had heard of Mr. Somers’ death at Southampton, and were not surprised to hear that W. J. Ritchie, a fellow-passenger on the steamer New York en route to England, and also a member of the Bohemian Club of San Francisco, of which Mr. Somers was an honorary member, had been appointed executor under the will. To most of the members of the club the announcement of Mr. Somers’ engagement to be married was a surprise. Several, however, knew of the tender attachment, having been guests at The Schooner Bonanza, Built by Ralston of the Bank of California in 1875 and in Which Many a Party of Millionaires Took Excursions Around the Bay. [Sketched by a “Call” artist.| Postmaster replied to the inguiry and plainly stated that the second plans were less acceptable than the first. His letter was dated April 7. It was after this last ter had been sent that Mr, Aiken gave out the statement to THE CALL correspond- ent at Washington, accusing the Postmas- ter and the Judges of unnecessary delay in retnrning the plans for the building. Mr. Aiken has since acknowledged the receipt of Mr. McCoppin’s letter of April 7, and says he will now be able to finish the plans without further delay. He does not know when the plans will be ready so that bids can be called for. This means another long chapter of anxious waiting for San Francisco to get from the Federal Government what Congress has already ellowed, Mr. Aiken’s statement that there is a conflict between the Judges and the Post- master as to the arrangcement of their re- spective apartments in the proposed build- ing 18 a contradiction initself. The Judges Lave no jurisdiction over the Postmaster’s apartments and the Postmaster has noth- ing whatever to do with the Judges’ cham- bers. The postal department will have the ground floor and the Judges will have en upper Hoor—probably the top one. Therelore, there can be no possible con- flict between the Judges and the Post- master, “The fact is,” said Mr. McCoppin, “the California delegation should wait on Mr. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury, and urge bim to do something toward hasten- ing along the enterprise. Of course it takes a long time to get Government build- ings under way and much longer to get them finishes “The statement sent out from the archi- tect’s office that I delayed the plans isall wrong. But they don’t seem to care what they do or sny at Washington. It is quite different with the citizens of San Fran- cisco, always anxious to promote the wel- fare of the community. to be unjustly criticised. People really hold me respon- sible whem statements of this kind are made and not contradicted, and life is altogether too brief to contradict every statement made against a person holding a public office or public trust, and espe- cially a Postmaster.” Mr. McCoppin believes that he will be with the angels long before Mr, Aiken completes his plans and work on the new Postoffice is actually begun. He thinks it possible, however, that the San Francisco known as the Bonanza. In 1875 she was one of the smartest and best appointed vessels in the bay, and during her weekly cruises all the wealth and beauty in the City used to be aboard. To-day she is ly- ing at Main-street wharf, leaking at the rate of 10 inches an _hour, and her owners have been compelled to discharge her cargoin order to save further expenses. The hull is still sound. The Bonanza was built for W. C. Ral- ston of the Bank of California nearly twenty-one yearsago. At tbat time she was the finest and most sumptuously fitted out yacht on the Pucific Coast. The millionaire banker made many a cruise in her, and the chances are that many a *‘deal” bad its foundation laid in her cabin. She is a little over 152 tons bur- den, 102 feet long, 27 feet 2 inches broad and 8 feet 7 inches deep, so that the cabin space was ample and the accommodstion for the crew more than sufficient. Even now the Bonanza has one of the finest cabins of any schooner trading out of San Francisco. After Ralston’s death the Bonanza was used for a time as a yacht, but was finally turned into a trader. As such she carried all kinds of merchandise between this and other coast ports. Next she appeared as a sealer and made a number of trips for the Liebeses, and always did well. A few weeks a o she was fitted out for a “trad- ing cruise,” or, properly speaking, a “whaling and trading cruise.” There can be nodoubtabout the vesse! going whaling, as ‘Agent A. P. Lorentzen has placed on board a whaling-boat and a captain who gnowu whales can be caught in the Bering ea. When the Bonanza had been docked and overhauled and loaded it was discovered she was leaking at the rate of two inches an hour. Agent Lorentzen decided to send her to sea, however, and make the men stand their trick at the }) nmps. More cargo was loaded into her last gltl"‘lly. and Sunday she was leaking at the rate of ten inches an hour. It was finally decided to discharge the schooner and look for the leak. Just where it is cannot be determined, but all day a gang of men were engaged in remov- ing the rudder in order to find out where the trouble was. The chances are that the tamous old schooner will have to go on the drydock again for a thorough over- hauling. The Williams Case.

What excites most comment in San Fran- | cisco is this from the World: | Mystery vegan to gather sbout the case di- rectly the announcement was made by cabie from Southampton that & dying passenger on the steamship New York had been taken ashore at Southampton, and his death on the follow- ing day, February 2, was announced. From this time Mr. Somers’ intimate friends both in New York and in London sought 1or weeks to obtain particulars of thelr friend’s death with- out getting any satisfaction beyond the fact that Mr. Somers had been buried on February 6 in Southampton; that he had left a will and made his friend Ritchie executor and that he (Ritchie) was attending to everything. The first account in detail of what is said to have taken place came by way of San Fran- cisco in the shape of a ietter dated Bourne- mouth, February 18, 1894, and sigued C. M. Palmer. A copy of this letter was forwarded to s man in New York, a friend of Mr. Somers of years’ standing. This letter was afterward printed as a leaflet and circulated among the members of the Bohemian Club, San Fran- cisco, of which Mr. Somers was a non-resident member. A letter from the late Frank M. Pix- ley, editor and owner of the San Francisco Argonaut, which accompanied this copy, states that it was written to William Greer Harrison and given by him to Al Gerberding, a friend of Somers and president of the Bohemian Club. Mr. Palmer told how Mr. Somers' grave at Bouthampton had been decorated with palms and flowers, according to Buddhistis rites, on the apniversary of the Bohemian Club's revel. Healso told of the elaborate funeral whien Mr. Somers had had. Tne World’s narrative then proceeds to relate that a copy of this letter was sent to a friend of Somers in London. A few weeks afterward, in the month of Septem- ber, this friend went to Southampton and saw tlie head nurse at the Rockstone Hos- pital, and also the undertaker, Mr. Creed. The latter said Mr. Somers was not buried near any parish church, but in the large cemetery. The undertaker added that there is & small mortuary chavel there for those awaiting burial, but Mr. Somers had been brought directly to his establishment and was laid out in an upper chamber, where the body rested until the fuueral on the foilowing Tuesday. To a question about the appearance of Mr. Somers, the friend was told: g “I don’t suppose he could look very natural, sir, being laid out all in white, sir. Just a nightshirt and sheet wrapped all around him.” ‘The curator of the cemetery showed the way to & grave set so closely between others that there was barely a footway on either side of it. It was unmarked, but had the appearance of fresh sodding. “Why did you remove the palms and other decorations which were put here in August?” inquired the visitor of Thomas A. Crook, the curator. “There never were any palms or decora- tions here,’” he replied. This curator alleged that the nurses who had attended the dying man said that Mr. Somers never mentioned the name of any one during the shole time he was in the bospital; not once did he refer in any manner to Miss Violet Gratz Brown, the lady said to be his fiancee. He dia not dic- tate any message, left no farewell, said no good-by. The contestants of the will say that $60,- 000 in gilt-edged bonds and cash which Mr, Somers had with him when he sailed have disappeared and are unaccounted for. The World says: Ritchie does not put in any evidence. He resigned as executor before the will was offered for probate. He is said to be still living abroad, prineipally in London, where he maintains 2n establishment in good style. W. J. Ritchie, executor of the wili, ar- rived in San Francisco several daysago and left the City last SBunday evening for New York. On leaving be gave directions to have his mail forwarded to the Lotus Club, New York. Before his departure he was asked if he had seen the World's story and veplied in the affirmative. Then he related some incidents of Mr. Somers’ last hours. He said: “When taken to the hospital from the steamer Bomers did not know that he was going to die. After medical examination at the hospital the doctor came to me and said, ‘You had better inform your friend that he cannot live but a few hours longer and let him arrange his affairs.’ “Then I saw Somers and asked him how he wanted to dispose of his effects. He said, ‘1 want everything to go tothe *little girl,” and you see to ir, Ritchie.” 1 sug- gested that I couldn’t do itin that off- bhand way, and that a lawyer should be called in and the thing put in writing. ‘That’s right,’ said Somers. “ “Well, how about the package in the bank?’ (meaning Somers’ securitiés and bonds). “ ‘Yes; that goes to her.’ B ‘Wnen I was about to leave the room to get a lawyer Somers said: ‘Hold on, Ritchie, do you mean that it is all up with me? 1 replied: ‘That's what the doctor says.” He was silent for a moment and then replied: 'All right,’ “When the will was presented to Mr. Somers it was read over to him distinctly, and he said several times during the read- ing, ‘That’s right.” He was perfectly con- scious and ciear in his mind. When the reading was finished he was propped up in bed and, while very weak, he signed with a firm hand. “f wanted,” continued Mr. Ritchie, ‘“‘to probate the will in England, because I | know there is law in that country, but | Somers’ attorneys in New York kept on | advising me by cable to send the will | there for probate. Finally I cabled asking them to send me $475 expenses which I had incurred and I would resign the trust, and so I resigned. My deposition in the contest has been taken. The contestants proceeded on the belief that I knsw Miss Brown, but I never saw her, and that is very clearly set forth in my deposition. Mr. Ritchie was asked as to the value of the bonds and securities which Mr. Somers left. He said: “I estimate them at about $35,000. There | were some Erie bonds and others that had | depreciated since Somers purchased them. Perhaps when he went to Japan shortly after selling Current Literature arid Short Btories his bonds, etc., were worth $60,000, but on some the interest had defaulted and the value diminished. It wasSomers’ idea to recuverate financially before he married. I know that he did not intend that any of his money should go to his relatives. He distinctly said that he did not want them to have any of his prop- erty, as he owed them nothing.” Mr. Ritchie says the bonds and securi- ties whicn Mr. Somers left are in New York, but that the attorneys of Miss Brown in the probate proceedings have only introduced the life-insurance policy. Game of Basket-Ball. Ladies’ night at the Young Men's Christian Association Club was a most successful affair. The prozramme, entitied “An Evening With the Athletes,” was well received, especislly the basket-ball game in which the Hercules and Abigail teams, composed of ladies, struggled for supremacy. The Abigails were victorious b{ a score of 4 to1l. Much of the evening’s pleasure is due to the efforts of the instructor, ably assisted by Messrs. Shaw, Klarman, Spacher and Mitchell, who are always ready to lend their services on such occasions. The Rusher Basyet-ball team, champions of the Pacific Coast, is now playing the Germans a serics of fine games, one game a week, on Tues- day evenings at B o'clock sharp; also the Oak- 1ands in a series of three games in the Oakland Gymnasium, and would like to meet other teams in e series of games for a trophy.

A, | | | | { A HOME INDOSTRY FAIR, Mechanics’ Institute and Manu- facturers’ Association Combine. They Will Make a Most Radical Departure From All Previous Expositions. The preliminaries for one of the largest home-industry fairs held on this coast were begun yesterday at a meeting of com- mittees from the Mechanics’ Institute and the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Asso- ciation. Messrs. Denicke, Thompson, Lewis and Presson represented the insti- tute, and Mesgrs. Kerr, Sbarboro and Tacy the association. The purpose of the meet- ing was to devise ways and means by which the two organizations can unite in conducting a grand exhibit of California manufactured and natural producis next fall. After considerable discussion the com- mittees decided to recommend that the exposition be confined to the manufac- tures and products of the Pacific Coast States. Mr. Kerr was very anxious that 1t be confined to this State and be a strictly California fair, but the others decided to include the other States on the coast asa matter of courtesy. The next matter con- sidered was what management the fair should be under, and the recommendation will be that the exposition be held under the auspices of both organizations; also that the management be vested in a board consisting of the board of trustees of the Mechanics’ Institute and three of the di- rectors of the Manufacturers’ and Pro- ducers’ Association, acting as an advisory committee. The question of the amount to be charged as an admission fee to the fair provoked a long discussion. Those of the association want the charge to be as small as possible, so as to induce everybody in the City to attend and as often as possible that they may become familiar with all articles of California produciion. The in- stitute people, or some of them, main- tained that a small admission will not pay. The committees will reccommend that the price of single admissions be 25 cents for adults, day and evening and 15 cents for children under 14 years of age. A number of other important questions were to have been discussed, but the com- mittees thought best to report to their re- spective bodies the progress made so far and to discuss the other features later. From all appearances the propossd ex- position will be a radical daparture from any fair held in this City before. The purpose is to not only show what is made in California, but to show how it is made. In order to do so it will be necessary to make a part of the exhibit a school of in- struction. The manufacture of cloth, shoes, harness, furniture, ironware, boat- puilding, electrical apparatus, etc., will be one of the most interesting features of the aifair. It bas been said that local manu- ufacturers have been holding aloof because most of the fairs held in iate years have been too much exaibits of the products of the Eest through local agencies, but from the present prospects that cannot be said this year and the local industries will have he entire field to themselves, and the only rivalry will be to see who can pro- duce the best goods at the most reasonable prices NEW TO-DAY.
