He expired suddenly but not unexpectedly early Sunday morning, having been ill some time, the cause being heart disease. Just six montas earlier his father, Thomas Jennings, died from the same disease. Less than two years ago Mr. Hooper, another partner, died. George Jennings was born in San Francisco thirty-seven years ago. He attended the public schools and then studied at both Santa Clara and St. Ig- natius colleges. Then he embarked in business in the very old house estab- lished by his father, Thomas Jennings, many years ago, and continued that connection until he died. He was a member of the Native Sons' organiza- tion, of the Olympic Club and the Young Men's Institute. He also was an active member of several commer- cial organizations of the city. He leaves a widow and two very young children. He was a brother of Super- visor Jennings. The funeral services will take place to-day at 2273 Fifteenth street, and requiem mass will be celebrated at St. Ignatius Church. 20966000000 0000600000000 | FOURSCORE YEARS OLD Eoinpiny widh his hiece, Biss Losise B | WHEN DEATH CLAIMED HIM . e © 9660000000060 e GEORGE JENNINGS. | -0-0-0-006 0000606000000 Warren, he got as far as San Bernardino, where he died yesterday morning in his berta.

CHARITY WILL GET HIS VAST ESTATE Friedman Sum to Captain Bequeathed a Large the Hebrew Home. HEN the will of Captain J. Friedman, who died in the Palace Hotel Sunday morning, is opencd it will be found that of an estate valued at $750,000 three-quarters has been bequeathed to charity. After be- quests which will reach an aggregate of $500,000 are paid, the residue is bequeathed to the Hebrew Home for Aged Disabled. This is a legacy of at least $250,000, and speaks for the charity and munificence of the dead capi- Mst. . i Very few conditions are attached to this bequest. Captain Friedman re. quests that the directors of the Hebrew Home for the Aged Disabled, now situated at 57 Lombard street, be sold and a handsome home and hospital be erected, either in Ban Franctsco or San Mateo county. This will no doubt be done. The testator asks for no special remembrance other than a place t~ rest his ashes somewhere on the grounds of the new home, with an inserip- tion as simple and plain as can mark a grave. He also detires to be burfed without formal religious ceremony. The will names as executors William Alvord of the Califofnia Bank, Ed- ward Lande, attorney, and I. M. Friedberg. It is a remarkable testament, in that évery eleemosynary institution of San Francisco is remembered, and many in foreign countries. No distinction is made as to race, color or relig- ien. Negro benevolent societies and Chinese charitable organizations are men- tioned as well as the orphan asylums and homes for the aged poor of the white race. j As far as known, Captain Friedman left no relatives, of near or remote degree. His friends, some of whom have been intimately associated with the deceased for the last fifteen years, declare that the captain had not a relative on earth. The story of a wife by contract marriage Is likewise de- nied, no mention of this incident ever having been heard before. To several of his close friends Captain Friedman has left legacies of varying amounts. The big bequest of $250,000 to the Hebrew Home will make it one of the wealthiest in the country. Inserted in this part of the will is a clause of re- quest by the donor, who does not wish the name of the institution changed nor any building to be named aftér him. He says that the institution itself is a sufficient monument to attest the spirit of charity in which the gift w made. The will will be filed to-day. . a @+0+04040 4040404040 4040404 040404040 40404040+ 0+0+0+9 ' = 404040 4090040904094040404040404040404040+@ 0404040 4040404040404040404040404040 +000+@ JULS BANDMANA DROPS DEAD IN ' mEissonizr's pLacE ~ HIS BATHROOM A Well-Known Mer- chant Is Stricken.

Unless the perfection of an appeal has the effect of a stay of proceedings, pend- ing a motion for ‘a rehearing, Auditor Wells is at liberty to favorably pass upon | the demands of the teachers and jani- tors against the collateral inheritance tax fund, recently paid into the hands of the Treasurer. Judge Murasky yesterday dis- solved the preliminary injunction issued against Auditoy Wells at the instance of J. M. Thomas, the blackboard maker, who, as a merchant creditor, sought to force a division of the fund. In his peti- tion to enjoin Wells, Thomas set up a compact between the teathers and mer- chant creditors in whicn they agreed to divide the funds, but Judge Murasky holds that certain provisions of the agree- ment invalidated it. Hence Auditor Wells may audit the demands of the teachers and janitors, and the merchants must await the arrival of new funds or aspeu from Judge Murasky's judgment and try to foree & compromise with the opposing claimants. e In the Divorce Court. ‘William 8.
