TO OUST OTHER HEIRS. HUSBAND AND WIFE IMADE A JOINT WILL. The Instrument Is Now Contested, There Being a Large FProp- erty Left. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, May 18. Twenty-flve years ago Joseph Hoffman and his wife, who lived In West Oakland, | and who possessed considerable com- munity property, each made a will. The | tenor of the will was precisely the“same | in each instance, and both husband and | wife were anxious to provide for the one which should survive the other. The will of Hoffman stated that all their estate was community property and that if he should die first all his interest in the estate should pass to his wife. The will | made by Mrs. Hoffman provided that her interest should go to her nusband, should | he_survive. | A few months ago Hoffman was found déad in his house and it was thought that | he had died intestate. A search for a will | proved fruitiess, and the Public Adminis- | trator applied for letters on the estate. His application is contested by a step- daughter of Hoffman, who claims to be the heir to Mrs. Hoffman's portion. ~The court is called upon to decide whether or not any part of the estate belongs to the heirs of the wife. Mrs. Hoffman dled several years ago and her estate was not administered upon by anybody, but remained intact with that of her husband. When Hoffman died some time elapsed before the two wills | were found, and the stepdaughter in her | petition states that she is entitled to the | community interest of her mother. The heirs of Hoffman who are indirectly rep- resented by the Public Administrator as- sert that according to the will left by Mrs. Hoffman her Interest in the community property passed to her husband, and that {herefore there is nothing upon which the heirs can administer. On_the other hand, it is claimed by the stepdaughter’s attorney that the pmep- | erty being community property must of | necessity belong equally to husband and | wife and that the fact that Mrs. Hoffman | | willed her share to her husband and that | her estate was not administered upon does | | not estop her heir at this time from claim- | ing her interest. The two petitions will be | heard in the Superior Court next week. | —_—e————— SOULE FOR BRIGADIER. OAKLAND, May 18—E. M.

A Review of the Records, Recent Sales, New Building Contracts and General Realty Notes. Business in the realty world is grad- ually assuming a long-looked-for life aft- er the weeks of continued stagnation that have characterized its general progress. ‘With a knowledge that the war cannot possibly affect the real estate property | of this city, the doubt that has heretofore generally existed to the contrary is grad- ually disappearing, and sales are becom- ing more common. Together with this fact the brightening prospects that have been indicated for the future by the per- ceptible growth of life In the market during the past week have gone far and done much toward encouraging real es- tate brokers and convincing the general public that the embargo is at last broken. The rain which fell in torrents the last few days, although not generally felt as an advantage in this city, has come like a beacon of hope and prosperity to the country markets. The success of the grain and fruit crops means the payment | of mortgages, the imminent foreclosure of which meant death to the farmers’ in- terests and a suspension of real estate ogression as a natural consequence. 'he rain will ireatly affect pasture lands and increase their value, which has been steadlly deteriorating from the devastat- !ng effects of the continued drought. ity real estate, although expected to show progress before the month is over, made little advance during the past week, the only really important transaction be- ing the sale of the prczerfir on Turk and Market streets by .

BERKELEY, May 18.—Active interest is being taken by several students in the University of California to form a mili- tary company to enlist for the war. Coach Garrett Cochran is making an ef- fort to effect an organization from among the members of the university cadets. A meeting of thése who intend to enlist was held in Stiles Hall this afternoon. Coch- ran explained to the men that if they suc- ceeded In getting 106 to sign the roll they could be formed into a company attached to the regulars, with the advantage of | having none but college_men with them; otherwise they would have to scatter promiscuously among the regulars. Several signed the roll for enlistment and will go with the company if it is called into service. The list ‘includes: Garrett Cochran, Chapman Smith, Will Durbrow, Will Foster, John _Proctor, Hugh Webster, Rufus Vassar, Tra Boss, Charles Tripler, Selah Chamberlain, Peter Kaarsberg, Fletcher McNutt, REdward Sherman and Charles Hughes. One hun- | dred and six names are needed altogether and the men who have alrcady signed feel confident that théy can be obtained.
