Contractors along the water front | who have grown fat through the favor- itism of Harbor Commissioner Colnon were much ‘alarmed yesterday because of what they believed to be a desire on the part of Commissioners Harney and Herold to put an end to the combina- tion that has been robbing the State through the medium of contracts let by the Harbor Commission. The alarm was caused by the failure of their patron to authorize the letting of a contract for lumber at the meet- ing of the board on Tuesday.

BRUNINGS WAS GENEROTS An Insane Woman Gives Away Her Money. DISPUTE OVER A FORTUNE THOUSANDS DEPOSITED FOR A STEPDAUGHTER. Now the Guardian Seeks to Set Aside the Gift by Reason of the Mother’s Incompe- tency. A contest over the property of Mrs. Mary J. Brunings, now an inmate of the Stockton Asylum for the Insane, occupied the attention of Judge Carroll Cook yesterday morning. The question in the case to be decided is whether Mrs. Brunings was insane when she | deposited on March 1, 1896, $10,700 with | the San Francisco Savings Union in the name of Mrs. Hulda R. Townsend, her stepdaughter. Mrs. Brunings became widely known through many eccentricities she began to exhibit shortly after she became wealthy through the death of her hus- band, which occurred several years ago. When Brunings died he left his widow a large estate, consisting of property in this city and Germany. She rented apartments at 831 Howard street, and in a short time, whether due to grief over her. husband’'s death or bewildered by her riches, she began to act strangely. Her neighbors carefully avoided her, as her hallucinations were becoming more weird as the months ed. Finally her deranged mind ancied that a grand conspiracy to rob her had been concocted by the entire | community. She finally moved and | took up her residence at the Occidental Hotel. Not many months pas eccentricities caused her arrest and commitment to the Stockton asylum, where she is now confined. During her ¢ at the Occidental she received $10,- 700 from her husband's estate and im- mediately placed it in bank to the credit of her stepdaughter. Since the commitment of Mrs. Brunings to the asylum M: Townsend has come for- ward as a claimant to the property and is opposed by Myron Wolf, Mrs. Brunings' guardian, who avers that his ward was insane when she made the deposit. When the case was heard yester ed before her E. She stated that she had known Mr: Brunings since 1883 and that unque: tionably she had delusions. decided that the devil was in her hair and in order to rid herself of the cvil had her tresses cut off. She sent photos of her discarded hair to friends in the East and explained her reasons for hav- ing had it cut. Annie Lynch corroborated the testi- mony of Mrs. Hall, and added that Mrs. Brunings imagined that mur- derers were plotting against her. She also had a delusion respecting the mur- | der of a-child, while in fact the child was only a creation of her fancy. Myron' Pixley, brother of Mrs. Brun- ings, stated that he had not seen his | ister for years, but she was not right | in her mind when he saw her last. NMrs. Townsend next took the stan: and told her story. She said that her mother spoke to her about having re- cojved the money in question and said | she wished to make her a present of it. | The witness accompanied her mother t> the Savings Union and there de- pesited the money. Mrs. Townseni ME NOMUCHEE HE plain unornamented citizen who is struggling through this hard world in one, two or three dollar pants, and who has lately noticed a large number of Chinese dressed in holiday attire, including red button skull caps, knew not the portent of this gaudy parade of Mongolians of leisure. He read the war reports on the bulletin boards telling of the great victories won by the deadly pen of Elanco, but did not realize that he was attacked in his own citadel— threatened with a shortage in pants in this great mart—that might compel him to emigrate to a clime where such apparel is not required. These well-dressed gentlemen of the almond eye were the erstwhile producers of cheap pants, and they were on a “plain, ordinary” strike. They had read translations of the philippics of the late candidate “William Jennings Bryan, on trusts,’ and they would have none of them, except of their own making. The trouble ail grew out of the fact that contractors with the Government were barred from employing Chinese la- bor in the making of clothing for the soldiers, The Chinese bosses concluded the time Going on a Strike, was ripe to combine and compel the plece workers to come to their terms. The situation developed Into a case of dog-eat-dog, as the operators, following the example of their Caucasian brethren, organized to fight the trust of bosses and walked out of the sweat shops, devoting their time to surveying pavements and consuming gin. It was a condition of trust and no pants or no trust and plenty of pants and the employers, after suffer- ing much sanguinary’ perspiration, con- cluded they had come in contact with an underrated formation and retreated from their position. As a consequence the im- pending dearth of inexpensive trousers to be in the market at the same old com- fortable figures.

The Vice-Consul recognized the fact that there was trouble among the pants makers, but his mind was fully occupied with the *fifth moon” and the fifth day thereof. The 8ix Company magnate Inferentially suggested that that proposition could be made “for two” and that a live policeman was around the corner. 5 The policeman wore contract pants of a costly quality and cared not a yen whether his friends in the lower walks or life wore pants or not.
