Subject, “The Annexation of Ha- wail THE NENPOSTOFAC The Building Must Be Con- structed of Califcrnia Stone. Manufacturers’ Association Will Mcke a Fight Against Eastern Material. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Ae- sociation has determined that the new Federal building, to be known as the Post- office buildine. shall be made of California materials so far as possible. Ina recentdis- patch i0o THE CArL from Washington, D. C., the statement was made that the owners of Massachusetis and Vermont quarries are doing all in their power at the capilal to secure the stone contracts for the San Francisco, as well as the Chicago, Postoftice buildings. The first move to block this was made yesterday by Oscar Lewis, the association’s manager, sending the following dispateh: Hon. Eugenc F. Loud, Member of Congress, Washington, D. C.: “Reférring 10 Washing.on dispaicucs ‘coucerning tne new Postoffice ma_eriais, the use of stone otner than from local sources would be considered & great 1n- justice to this coast.

Mr. Lewis in order to be provided with data ?on the stone question has inier- viewed several of the principal builders of this City. Among these are the Mahoney Brothers, J. G. Day, the contractor who constructed the Cascade locks, R. McCann of the Rae Building and Contracting Com- pany, I. H. Knowies of the Raymond Granite Company, Daniel McPhee of the McPhee Sandstons Company, and others. Altbough all of these gentlemen represent d fferent building interests, they are all united upon one point, and that is that the material for the San Francisco Post- office should be obtained on the Pacific Coast. They claim that the granite and sandstone of this State are equal for build- The Potrero Church to-day begins a saive- | ing purposes to any ‘produced from the Eastern quarries, to say nothing of the expense. Mr. Lewis states thata new sandstone quarry is being uncovered in Alameda County, which' it is believed will be the best for color and durability of any in this section of the State. He says that the authorities at Washington are perfectly familiar with the building stones of Cali- foruia. A year or so ago an agent of tue Government came to this State, and be- sides making a thorough examination of the quarries took back with him a large case of stone of all kinds for tests at the Goverument station at Annapolis. Some samples stood a pressure of 20,000 ponnds to the square inch.

Tickels will be good on that dw One reason why women are so gener- ally troubled with some derangement of the distinctly feminine organism is that as girls they leam nothing about their own physical make up. Parents are waking u; to the importance of education of this kin and young women are becoming more and more able to take care of their health. Carelessness in girlhood causes the great- est suffering and unhappiness in after life. Little irregularities and weaknesses in girls should be looked after promptly and treat- ment given at once.

A NEW ATTACK ON J: 1 OAVIS' WILL Forgery Is Now Charged by Mrs. Elizabeth V. Wilson. Lizzie Muir and Belle Curtis Cal'ed On to Defend Their Legacies. Contestants Say the Estate Is Worth $2,000,000, While the Other Side Call It $750,000. The estate of the late Jacob Zigler Davis has furnished another sensation in legal circles. Some :ime ago a contest to the probate of the Davis will was filed by nephews of the decedent. Yesterday an- other notice of contest was given, this time by Mrs. Elizabeth V. Wilson of Washington, D. C., widow of a nephew of Davis. Mrs. Wilson appears on behalf of her children, who would be entitled to a share of the estate if the will should be declared invalid. The will is very brief and purports to have been written entirely by the testator; in other words, it is presented as an olo- graphic instrument ana reads as follows OCTOBER 1, 1896. 1, Jacob Z. Davis, will and bequeaih every- thing I have in tnis world to my belovea nieces, Lizzie Muir,and Belle Curtis. JACOB Z. DAvIS. ‘When the original contest was filed it was stated that 1t was a singular fact that the two women referred to as nieces were not blood relatives of the millionaire. The contestants did not know exactly what the relationship was that existed between them, but it is now explained that they are the nieces of his dead wife. It appears that Boyd and Davis married sisters. The document filed yesterday among other allegations contains the following: The wife of sald Jacob Z. Davis and the wife of Alexander Soyd and the mother of said Lizzie Muir and Belle Curtis, their brother and mother all lived together in Intimate social relations for years prior to and up to the time of his death, and that each and all of said peisons exercised and possested great in. fluence upon and over said deceased, and that they had all agreed and persusded and in- duced said deceased to feel and believe that he was not_very wealthy, that there was only enough property possessed by the said Boyd and Davis to support and main- tain the families of id Boyd and said Davis and said Lizzie Muir and Belle Curtis, their brother and mother in the event of the death of said Boyd or Davis, and thatilany of the blood relatives of the said Davis were 10 be given or have any share or pert in the estaie or property of said Davis that they (the blood relatives) would compel a dissolution and winding up of the said co- partnership and a distribution of its property 10 and among them, and by litigation damage, impair and destroy said property and possibly bankrupt said Boyd and leave said Lizzie Muir and Belle Curtis unprovided for; that there- fore said Davis and sald Boyd should make mutual wills or other kind of wills as would obviate all possibility of such results. Continuing, the contestant alleges that Boyd and Davis and their wives did make mutual wills in favor of each other. The oontestant furcher asserts that Mrs. Boyd and her nieces caused Davis to hate his blood relatives, ana when he visited the home of his niece in Philadelphia he was accompanied by Lizzie Muir and Belle | Curtis, who were with him constantly to prevent him from visiting her. There is a grim suggestion of a domestic tragedy in the following allegation made by Mrs. Wilson: While said Davis was 1ying in bed during his last illness in tne Continental Hotel in deiphia he succeeded in getting the said Lizzie Muir and Belle Curtis out of his room and fiom his presence, and he solicited and secured the personal aud exciusive attend. ance in his room of one John Senderling, s relative of the blood of said Jacob Z. Dav but one step further removed, and said Davis then and_there being unable to write, and ap- prehending death, requested said John Sen- derling to write at his dictation the will of sa‘d Jacob Z. Davis, and what he desired and wished to be done with' his estate, and who snould be the objccis of his bounty ; that said avis bad duriug his lifetime in this ty been intimately conuected with and wrapped up in certain socie- ties such us the Siate Mining Bureau and the Society for the Preveution of Cruelty to Animals, of whch he was president, and had repeatediy gxpressed his desire anc intention (o' make gefiefous provision for such societies in such will as he shouid make, and that ho had reached his aictation to said Senderling of his desires respecting said_societies, and had not given to said Lizzie Muir or Belle Curtis anything, when his .ife commenced ebbing, and he died while dic:ating to said Senderiing, and the document, to the extent it was written, was kept by said Senderling, and it s now in his possession in Philadelphia; and thatsald Lizzie Muir and Belio Curtis left the body of said Davis unburied in an undertaker’sestablishment in Philadelphia and left for San Francisco, and subsequently irom here ordered it cremated. Mrs, Wilson direct'y charges that tie will of Davis is a forgery, and on that issue the main battle will be fought. She says the estate is_worth not less thun $2,000,000, though efforts have been made to have it appear much less. Lizzie Muir and Belle Curtis, the lega- tees under the will, were prompt in re- sponding to this new attack on their in- teresis a8 legatees under the will, for they filed an answer to Mrs. Wilson’s contest within six hours after that document was handed to the clerk of the court. In this answer, whch was pr sented by Attor- neys E. B. and George H. Mastick, they deny in detail all of Mrs, Wilson’s accusa- tions, and assert that as a matter of fact the estate of the testator is worth not more than $750,000. Experts in handwriting have been ex- amining the will for several days for the purpose of ascertaining whether it 1s gen- uine or a forgery. The trial of the case was set for next Monday in Judge Coffey’s court, but it is expected that the new contest by Mrs. Wilson will lead to a postponement of the hearing. SOUTH OF THE OHANNEL. Steady Improvement Marks an Era of Progress in the Potrero District. Continuous activily on a progressive scale of improvements is noticeable in the southern part of the City, south of the channel ‘line. In the course of a few weeks the crown of Scotch Hill will be capped by a mammoth steel tank, in which Spring Valley water will be stored for 1he use of the entire section, inciuding the various manufacturing institutions located at the base of the biue rock hill. Daylight n appesrs through a western ot mhado by the Potrero Land and Im- rovement Company on a lind with 'wentieth street. The rock taken from this hill has been dumped into a ravine north of the rope works, making suitable building sites, which will in the near future become peo- pled with the families of the mechanics working close by. Grading and paving have been effected oa Twentieth street, from Kentucky to *tttiitttii¥iitfiti*tlii;ti*i**!!iilififim!t | the rolling-mill’s gate, over which the Southern Pacific Company has laid a track by which trains can now discharge and receive material from both the Union Iron Works and the rolling-miils at their yards. This with a line to the Spreckels sugar works_offers facilities for the transporta- tion of the products from -that establish- ment without the inconvenience of truck hauling. Since the completion of Railroad avenue from South San Francisco to the Six-mile House a new line of travel has been opened up over which the outlying trades- people now travel instead of going round by the San Bruno road and the Mission. This new way is hailed with much aelight by the vegetable men and dairy producers from San Mateo County who dispose of their products in the San Francisco markets. Even the police stations at the Potrero and in South San Francisco have been seized by the progressive spirit going on about there. To such an cxtent has this lesven worked that both stations have been remodeled and refitted by that master mechanic, Officer Libby, who has done creditable work for the City. ————— ‘When you buy a few yards of cloth in Japan the merchant unrolls the whole piece and cuts it off the inside end in order that you may not have to take the part that is faded and s opworn, NEW TO-DAY: 1 § i i i i i i i * THE CREDIT HOUSE"” Large size, large comfort, Morris Reclining Chair.
