10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 1896. — GEORGE BARRON IN COURT AGAIN, | Act Passed for the Fair Contestants Relied Upon. TO ATTACK THE TRUST. Edward Barron’s Sanity and His Wife’s Influence to Be Inquired Into. THE LAW OF PERPETUITY. | 4 | Plaintiff's Attorneys Claim the Trust | Is Invalid According to Cali- fornia Law. George E. Barron has made another move to obtain what he considers his just share of his father’s millions. The action, which was commenced in this City yester day, is in the form of & suit to quiet title, and in its determination will call for a recital of the courtship and marriage of the fair Irish widow and the prosperous | butcher, which occupied the attention of | the Superior Court of Santa Clara County for several weeks. | The action which was brought then was | for the revocation of the will on the | grounds that Edwara Barron was of un- sound mind ana was under undue influ- | ence. After a sensational trial, which received large attention from the press of the entire State and in which the most eminent counsel in the State were | engagea, a jury rendered a verdict for the i { | most plaintift. The defendants, whose chief champions were John Garber of this y and S. F. Leib of San Jose, made a motion for a new | trial. Delmas & Shortridge, who haa con- ducted the case for the plaintiff, made a vigoroas opposition to the motion, but the two Judges of the county sitting in bank entertained some doubt as to the correct- ness of some of their previous rulings, and they allowed the motion. T The case isnow pending in Santa Clara County, but with no immediate prospect of trial. At the time the suit was brought in Santa Clara County an action resisting the probate of the will was the oniy one under which the slighted son could hope for re- lief from its provisions. Since then the Legislature has convened and Governor Budd has approved an act making it pos- sible to attack in a collateral proceeding the validity of a trust or bequest expressed 1 a will. This 1s the act passed primarily for the benefit of some of the Fair con- testants, and the approval of which has! brought some criticism upon the Gov- ernor, not for any injustice in the act, but from the fact that he was at the time en- gaged as counsel for Charles Fair. The passage of this act has opened an- other door into court for George Barron. By the provisions of the will $100,060 was left to George Barron in trust. This trust is not questioned by him, however. Bar- ron left to his sen William $200,000, and to charity $45,000. No effort will be made by George to distribute this’latter sum either. In the Santa Clara County case he offered to stipulate that the charities should receive their share irrespective of the determination of the suit by Nicholas | Bowden, who represented most of the elee- mosynary beneficiaries and who refused to | accede to this on the ground that it would not be binding as regarded the minor heirs. Of the residue of the estate, amounting | to $1 60,0000 or $170,000, one-fourth was left to the widow absoluteiy and the remain- der was given to her in trust for her minor children. It is this latter provision that | George now attacks. The action, according to George’s attor- neys, Sullivan & Sullivan, will be based | valued at something over $2,000,000, the entire Barron real estate, though George only lays claim to two-fifteenths. This latter is what his share would be were the trust not in existence and-the California laws of inberitance allowed to operate. 1t consists of a lot 107 feet west of Kearny street, fronting 100 feet on Post, running through 122 feet to Morton; lot at south- west corner of Taylor and Geary streets, 137:6x137:6; the gore at Eddy and Market streets, fronting 161:9 on Market and 137:3 on Eddy; lot on Eddy street, near Mason, fronting 28:4 on Market and 23 on Edady; lot at northwest corner of Oak and Pierce streets, 275x90:10; 50 vara lot at northeast | corner of Oak and Pierce streets; lot at southeast corner of Fell and Pierce streets, 5x137:6; southwest corner of Fell and | Pierce streets, 137:6x137:6; northwest cor- ner of Fell and Pierce streets, running through to Hayes, 275 feet on Pierce, 137:6 on Hayes and on Fell; and the ranch at Mayfield, comprising 350,000 acres. The share George Barron claims will amount to $260,000 or $270,000. The actual parties at whose interests the suit is aimed are Eva Rose Barron, the widcw, and her minor chiidren, Edward F., Marguerite M., Eva H., Mary O., Marion, Dorothy and William Barron. The following charitable institutions, be- ing parties in interest, are made nominal defendants: St. Vincent’s Roman Catho- lic Orphan Asylum. Roman Catholic Or- phan Asylum of Sun Francisco, Arch- bishop Patrick W. Riordan, Sisters of Holy Family, or Children’s Dav Home, | Our Lady’s Home, or Catholic Oid Ladies’ Home, Boys’ and 'Girls’ Aia Society, San Francisco Protestant Orphan Asylum, | and James A. Thompson and James E. Waish, trustees. There are twenty ficti- tious defendants. Should the action pending in Santa Clara County be decided in favor of the present plaintiff the present suit would be thereby decided. Should Eva Rose be successful it would not affect the present hitigation. TROTIING AGAIN TO-DAY A Stake Event for Three-Year- Oids the Feature of the Card. Ingleside Track in B-tter Condition. W. Wood and Waldo J to Meet on Saturday. The directors of the Pacific Coast Trot- ting-horse Breeders’ Association held a meeting vesterday at the office of Director Burke, but business of a private nature only was transacted. This will be the second day of the as- sociation’s summer meeting at Ingleside track and two splendid events, the 2:40 pace, with a fine field of starters, and a stake for three-year-old trotters, are down ior decision. Secretary F. W. Kelley stated yesterday that ail of the loose dirt on the surface of the course has been scraped off and better time can be looked for to-day. An attraction that is bound to draw a great crowd has been arranged for the Fourth of July, the closing day of tbe meet. It is no less than a contest, best three in five heats, between the crack free- for-allers of the pacing brigade, W. Wood nd Waldo J (2:08), the gray ghost n Luis Obispo. A special purse of $1000 will be hung up for them. Two enthusiastic horsemen en- paged in the butchering business in Ala- meda are also in doubt as to the relative merits of their respective world-beaters, and the public wili have an opportunity of seeing their caliber tested defore the meeting is over. Starter W. P. McNair proved a revela- tion to patrons of the running turf and the work of the man from Wichita has come in for much praise on all sides. Mr. McNair considers the innovation of the Pacific Coast Association in compelling drivers to wear a jacket and cap of pro- nounced color a splendia_one and thinks it should be enforced on all tracks. A $ gold pieee parleyed on the outsider Prince Bismarck, who captured the pacing event in straight heats on Saturday, would have netted the speculator over $800. Following are to-day’s entries: 2:40 class, pacing, purse $1000—Madcap, b. m., entered by Oakwood Park stock farm; Me- v John Moorhea m., by D. night; Strathmont, b. g., by R. E. Btark- ; Adele, b. m,, by D. E. Fertin; Benard, WILLIAM P. MeNAIR, OFFICIAL STARTER. upon two grounds. The first of these is | that the will is_invalid and hence the | trust must be. This contention will be | maintained upon the same grounds as was | the San Jose action—unsound mind and | undue influence. In the determination of | this issue the sensational testimony 2d- | auced at the San Jose trial will be gone | over with a few added details promised. One of the striking features of the former | trial was the part played in it by the colored woman who claimed her son was | beir to a child’s share of Barron’s mil- lions. This character was taken advantage of by the plaintiff, who claimed that the threats and persecutions of this woman . constituted one of tue chief causes of his father’s disturbed reason. The second ground of attack is more technical. It is directed at the trust itself and is based upon a leading California case, known as the Walkerley case. Itde- pends for its force upon the strict tech- nical meaning of the words of the trust clause, and briefly is that the trustis.in- valid because its operation might possibly, by its terms, extend over the period of s life or lives in being. It isa rule of law that trusts cannot be created to extend in- definitely, : life or lives in being.” By the terms of | the trust it is claimed its operation might | extend to such children of Eva Rose Bar- | Ton yvet unborn at the time of the making | of the will. This, according to the Walk- | erley case, constitutes a violation of the | rule of perpetuity. The property affected by the suit is ch. &, by D. B.

PREPARING FOR A MERRY FOURTH, Lively Meeting of the Executive Committee Last Evening. ROBERTSON THE VICTOR Prize Poem Selected From a Large Number That Were Submitted. MID FLEECY WHITE CLOUDS. Handsome Float Which Will Bear the Beautiful Goddess of Libarty. The executive branch of the Fourth of July committee had a lively meeting last evening. The question of how to make the finances meet the appropriations was antly. Four white horses will draw this chariot. CLOSED Ti.L TEE FOURTH. But the Alcazar Manager Paid Sharkey in Full. A crowd gathered about the doors of Grover’s Alcazar Theater last evening. In the assemblage were several actors, who were endeavoring to learn the cause of the doors being closed and locked with a chain. On inqniry it developed that the theater bad closed its doors the night before aiter the play was over and the actors had dis- persed for the evening. The cause was given as a lack of funds wherewith to meet current expenses. Superintendent Wallenrod, who has the rental of the Alcazar building, said that Manager Grover had come to him the evening betore and told him the theater had closed up and that he would come to him to-day and square the financial part of the affair. Manager Grover said he had closed up at the beginning of the week many times before. ‘“‘Business has been dull for some time,” he said, “and as [ thought running any longer a losing proposition, I decided to close the doors. ‘‘To-morrow afternoon is pavday and everybody’s account will be settled in full. As soon as times get better 1 shall reopen. I think this will be July 4. “July 5 I expect to put Sharkey and Choynski on the programme. Iam not ceriain of this at present. but think it can be arranged. Sharkey’s account has ai- ready been settlea. *‘Some people, perhaps, are surprised that 1 should close up just when we have had such large audiences. Well, Sharkey dia not prove quite so great a drawing- card as we expected, but what we made at the end of last week would have been iost at the beginning of this week. So we have MISS JENNIE L. HEDBERG, THE GODD SS OF LIBERTY. the main puzzle before the committee. The report of the finance committee was very encouraging. It showed that there was already subscribed $3569 63. This, with what the committee feels assured it | will receive in the next few days, will be | sufficient to carry out all its plans. E. A. Bergerot reported for the literary committee that it had finished its labors and awarded the prize of $50 for a poem to Louis A. Robertson, Mr. Robertson isa newspaper man at present on the staff of the News Letter. His production was chosen from 139 submitted. Mr. Bergerot stated that the committee haa decided that there should be no re- served seats at the Pavilion. Every one presenting an invitation will be admitted without charge. The invitations will be at the disposal of the general committee. Rabbi Voorsanger has been requested to act as chaplain. 3 ““If he declines,” said Mr. Bergerot, ‘‘we will have no chaplain.” Henry P. Umbsen, grand marshal, re- ported that he would need twenty more carriages. After some discussion his re- quest was referred to the chairman of the hack committee, the chairman of the finance committee and the grand marshal. The matter of having reserved seats for those who had contributed to the celebra- tion was again called up. It was stated that some of the contributors had been promised this favor, and it was decidec that the action of the literary committee be reconsidered and a limited number of seats be reserved. The transportation committee reported that it had made arrangements with the railroad companies for hali-rates from all ?oints in the interior, to be in effect from uly 2 to July 7. Robert Ash of the fireworks committee reported that they had decided to have the display on the” block between Haight and Waller, Ashbury and Cole. This is immediately east of tue Chntes. = The Supervisors yesterday passed an order permitting them to discharge fire- works in this locality. The contract for fireworks had been divided between the California and the S8an Francisco Fire- works Compaunies. John Soufre, as a rep- resentative of the Caiifornia Fireworks Company objected to the manner in which the contracts had been awarded. He claimed that his company’s bid was the lowest and it sbould bave received the contract. Mr. Ash explained the basis upon which the award was made and a heated discussion ensued. At its con- clusion the entire contract was given to the California Fireworks Company. President S. L. Lent stated that the grand marshal had some doubt as to the extent of his authority in the matter of forming the parade. He moved that the grand maishal and his assistants be given u_b::ioluu authority. His motion was car- ried. On motion of L. J. Truman it was de- cided to insert in all contracts a clause examg'l;ing the members of the committee from individual liability. Several chair- men of sub-committees stated that they bad inserted such a clause in all contracts. Miss Jennie L. Hedberg of 2216 Filbert street, who has been selected as the God- dess of Liberty. is a Califorma girl and a uate of the Commercial High School. iss Hedberg owes her selection to her eculiar beauty, which is contributed to argely by a charming complexion. The float which Miss Hedberg will grace is to represent & bank of fleecy clouds, on whose. summit the goddess will ride trinumph- closed for a brief interval. That is all there is to the matter.” Sharkey was also seen last evening, and corroborated Grover’s statement as to his own account havine been settled in full. RIGHTS OF SEAL-HUNTERS Schooners Seized in 1891 Ordered Released by the Court of Appeals. Seals May Be Cuaught at Certain Seasons if Found Beyond the Three-Mile Limit. Judges McKenna, Gilbert and Hawley, United States Court of Appeals, handed down an important decision yesterday in the case of the schooner La Ninfa, seized in Alaskan waters in 1891 “*This is an appeal in admiralty from a aecree of the District Court of Alaska,” said Judge Hawley in delivering the opin- ion of the court, “forfeiting the schooner La Ninfa upon the grounds that she had been unlawfully engaged in killing seals in the waters of Alaskan territory. “It_appears that on April 1, 1891, she sailed from San Francisco, having been previously fitted out here. On July 6 she passed into Bering sea, and three days later sent out her boats, bringing in four- teen skins. On the following day the United States ship Thetis notitied the cap- tain of the schooner that ‘the sea was closed from sealing.” Ensign Dodd of the Thetis boarded the sealer thirty miles off 8t. Paul’s Island and warned him to cease operations. Captain Worth of the schooner informed the ensign that he was fitted out for whaling and asked permis- sion to continue on thatline. He was told that if e remained it would be at his own risk of being seized. The schooner, how- ever, remained in the waters and on July 14 was seized by tae revenue cutter Cor- win and taken to Sitka for condemnation. She had on board nineteen skins, of which number Captain Worth said five had been killed in the sea. ““From these facts the question arises,’” said the court, ‘‘whether Bering Sea at a distance of more than one league from the American shore is Alaskan territory, or in the waters thereof, or within the domin- ion of the United States in the waters of Bering Sea.” _The court then went into a lengthy re- view of the modus vivendi which finally resulted in the Board of Arbitration, in session at Paris, agreeing titat ‘‘the two countries had rights in common tc kill seals outside the three-miie limit.” Con- gress, 1o give effect to this decision, passed anew sealing act April 4, 1894, covering the points agreed on by the arbitrators, As it was shown that the seals were taken ten miles from shore the. decision of the District Court was reversed and the schooner ordered released. A reversal in the case of the schooner Alexander, seized at the same time, was also ordered. B e — C. W. Smith’s Estate. Mary A.

I wassobad that I could not get out of bed without rolling over on my stomach, as the pains in my sides and back were so bad. Now I can jump out of bed like a young man. Icannot find words great enough to express my gratitnde for the good your Belt has done me. I'shall always recom- mend your Belt to my friends, and if any one wishes information they can write to me and I will gladly answer them. I hope this will reach other sufferers, and I thank you again from the depths of my heart. Yours grate- | fully, THOS. J. WILLIAMS, Hhopa Valley, Humboldt County, Cal. Now, when you consider the iact that we are publishing letters like this every day—statements of cures all overthe State in all walks of life—it means something.
