ANOTHER WILL | NOW OFFERED Document Executed by Kershow Filed by Contestants. The will made by Max Kershow in Phil- adelphia in July, 1883, was offered in evi- dence yesterday in Department 9 of the | Sugperior Court, where the trial of the con- | test of the will purported to have been mede in this city i= being held. The Philadelphia document, when first exe- cuted, bequeathed to an aunt of Max Ker- | show $5000 and the rest and residue of the | estate in trust for Carleton Kershow, a brother, and Edward and J. Henry Ker- show, uncles of the deceased. The Phila- delphia Trust, Safe and Deposit Company was named as trustee. A codicil made in February, 189, revoked the paragraph in the body of the will and placed the trust fund in the hands of J. Henry Kershow, one of the uncles. Attorney Rix spent the entire day in probing into the characters of the wit. nesses to the contested will and men | who associated with the Yale man while he lived in this city. Detectives Bain- bridge and Dillon testified g Meadows, one of the subscribing wit- nesses, was not noted for his probity or integrity, and Judge Fritz, who was asked concerning the reputation of Jules Gam- age, said: “He is a friend of wmine, but I think he bears a good reputation.” i One of the features of the proceedings | yesterday was the regularity with which | Attorneys Rix and Tauszky called each | other names. Invitations “to come out- side” and such expressions as “you are bluffing” and “you can’t bluff me” occur- red with such frequency that the bailiff of the court removed the padlock placed that A.

It was a gala night at the Tivoli last night, the occasion being the fifth an- nual benefit of the San Francisco Com- mercial Travelers' Association. The suave gentlemen of the road were out in force, as the packed house testified. Every drummer had his lady and alto- gether the audience was one of the most interesting that has gathered in that fa- vorite temple of song in many a day. Preparatory to the reception of the as sociation’s guests of the evening the dec- orators took charge of the interior, and their skillful handiwork was evidenced in a beautiful grouping of-flags, bannerettes, festoons and association devices on the balcony rails, boxes and proscenium arcy The draping of the decorations was arti: tic and the coloring resembled the glow | a summer's sunset. The insignia_of the association was conspicuously. dis- played, and during the presentation of “red Riding Hood,” the evening’s bill, the device was cheered. It is the custom of the association to give an entertainment annually, the pur- pose being not only to enrich the coffers of the organization in aid of its charita- ble and beneficial work but to bring the membership into closer fraternal relation- ship with one anotuer. The entertain- ments have uniformly been highly suc- cessful, as is indeed most everything the commercial men attempt. The affair of last night lacked in no respect.the fea- tures of the events of former years—good fellowship, bonhomie and warm enthusi- asm. The opera was hugely enjoyed by the The local hits, and particularly the jokes rung in on leading members of the asso- ciztion. were enthusiastically received. The principals of the cast entered into | the spirit of the occasion, the result be- ing a very enjoyable performance. Praise is due Fiorence Chapman, Annie Myers, Olive Ulrich, Ferris Hartmgn, Edward | Webb and Arthur Cunningham for their | rtistic work. The subordinates filled the bill acceptably. The officers of the association are: B. H. Fredericks, president; George W. Moorehouse, vice president; Charles E. Tarrant, recording secretary: L. L. Dobbs, John H. Horstmana, treasurer; Charles L. Adams and P. T. Mepham, sergeants at arms. The entertainment was in charge of a committee consisting of Emmett Dunn, chairman; H. Becker. Nick Marisch, Sam Seymour, W. T. Holling, A.

FOOTPADS ARE CLEVERLY OUTWITTED BY EX-SOLDIER Henry Harke Leaves His Money in Hotel Safe Before Viewing At- tractions of City.

JIn the early | part of the evening Harke started out to take In the attractions of the city, pre- vious to his departure for the East. When he commenced his trip about town, he had $40 and a ticket for the East in his pockets.

Act in Question the Same in Principle as California Statute. The decision of the Oregon Supreme Court sustaining the Lockwood primary ele¢tion law enacted by the Legislature of that State is recognized as a victory for the cause of clean politics and good government. The Oregon law, which is de- clared constitutional, is the same in prin- ciple as the California law adopted at the last session of the Legislature. One of the essential points at issue before the Oregon court was.the test, or the pro- vision of the law requiring a voter to de- clare his political sentiment. Following is the provision of the Oregon law on this point: Any person desiring to vote shall state to the first_of the election clerks (which clerk shall not be of the same political party as the chair- man) his name and his residence and shall de- mand an official ballot of the political party or association he desires to use in voting, and the said clerk shall thereupon announce the name and residence and party or association distinetly and write in the poll book of the political party or association the name and i| residence of the elector with pen and ink. The test prescribed for participating in a party primary is that the elector ‘‘voted for a majority of the candidates of such party at the last election or intends to do so at the next election.” . Regarding the Test. The court in sustaining the test says: Is the test a reasonable regulation by which to ascertain party affiliations? Mr. Bryce says the usual test adopted by parties is, ‘*Did the clajmant vote the party ticket at the last im- portant election or that for the State Governor- ship?’ The Wisconsin acts of 1805 and 1807 prescribe in effect that precise test. The Cali- Torpia act of 1897 provides that if a person challenged make oath that it was his bona fide present intention to support the nominees of the convention to which delegates are to be elect- | ed for such political party or organization, he | should be entitled to vote. The act was de- clared unconstitutional, but not upon that ground. And the Legislature evidently so un- derstood it, as at its session in 1901 it passed another act containing precisely the same test to be applied at a party primary-election. By the New York act the elector must declare that he is in general sympathy with the princi- ples of the party at whose primary he desires to vote, that it is his intention to support gen- erally at the next general election, State or National, the nominees of such party for State | or National offices, and that he has not en- } rolled with or participated in any primary elec- tion or convention of any other party since the first day of the preceding year. This is as far as we have been able toJfind precedent, and we are impressed that thg New York provisions are | better calculated to 'serve the purpose for | which they are intended than the others, and { yet it is concededly impossible to provide any | test by which all fraud and illegal voting may be detected and prevented. Much must be left to the Legislature to determine, and so long as it cannot be said that the test adopted is inapt | and unreasonable it ought to be permitted to | stand: hence we are constrained to hold that | the present law is valid, as 4t respects that epecific objection. Should Stand in California. | If the test stands in Oregon, where the | constitution of the State does not in dis- | tinct terms authorize the Legislature to pass a law applying it to primary elec- tions, it should certainly stand in Califor- nia, as the constitution of this State ex- pressly grants the Legislature power to i prescribe a test. Constitutional amend- ment No. 4, adopted by the California Legislature March, 1809, and ratified by the people in 1900, gives the Legislature power to apply party tests to primary | elections. The Oregon law, held to be valid by the | Supreme. Court of that State, goes further | than a mere party test. In providing for | primary-elective ballots it requires: The official ballots of each party or assocfa- | tion participating in the election ‘shall be dif- ferent in tint or color from those of the other | parties or associations, €0 _as to be readily’ dis- | tinguishable therefrom. Duplicate impressions of the same shall be printed upon cheaper col- ored paper so as to be readily distinguishable from the official ballots. These sample bal- lots shall be uniform in color for all political | parties and associations and shall be used sole- ly as sample ballots for the information and | convenience of voters, and shall not be voted, | and if voted shall not be counted. | In Oregon a blanket ballot is used and | the names of the candidates for the nom- | inating convention are printed thereon, In this State the ballot is blank and the | names are written thereon, or attached | thereto by pasters. | Able lawyers who have carefully studied | the Oregon decision and compared the | primary law of that State with the law | of Californta are firmly convinced that Jiour present primary election act is con- stitutional. “Great reduction in price on Holiday Liquors | at Horwitz & Cohn’s, 1716 Market, phone South | €84.

ARE CENGURED Stir in Military Circles Over Department § Order. Court - fi[artia.l at Presidio Fails to Dispense Justice. oRsh T A general court-martial now in session at the Presidio and supposedly meting out justice to wrongdoers in the ranks received yesterday at the hands of Colonel Rawles the most severe reprimand, it is said, that ever emanated from the head- quarters of the Department of California. The membership of the court includes sev- eral officers of high rank and distinguish- ed service. Consequently there was some little stir in military circles yesterday when the order was made public. On the fourth floor of the Phelan build- ing, and at the Presidio, the officers were | discussing the matter unofficially and many were thanking their lucky that they had not been detailed for the court-martial which has so suddenly be- come prominent. It is said that the mem- bers of the court cannot but feel injured the only recourse that inferiors have in and confine the expression of their opin- ions to their immeaiate friends. Private Evans Causes Trouble. Private Samuel H. Evans, Troop Sixth Cavalry, was tried and found guil of a charge of desertion. He was sen- tenced to imprisonment at hard labor on Alcatraz Island for one and one-half years. The court decided that errors had been made in the proceedings, and the man was tried again. After Evans had been disposed of the second time, it was found necessary to give him a third trial. It is quite certain that the soldier did something wrong, but nabody seems to know just what it was, and in spite of the plethora of trials he must now be al- lowed to go free. Colonel Rawles’ criticism which has caused all the disturbance is as follows: In the foregoing case the record is full of mistakes, and the proceedings are a discredit to the service. The accused was charged with desertion, and when brought to trial pleaded not guilty of desertion, but absence Without leave; the judge advocate then rested, and the court without any evidence whatever proceeded to find the accused guilty as charged. The record being returned to the ‘court for reconsjderation of its findings, and the illegal- ity of 1ts action pointed out, the court properly reconsidered its action and found the accused guilty of absence without leave. At this re- vision one member of the court was absent at the session, G, ty a wedding and did not attend while another who had been sick at the trial of the case took his seat at the revision, com- pletely vitiating the action taken. At the second_revision one member was absent be- cause he had not been notifled of the meeting of the court, and the court adhered to its | first findings and sentence. dutfes of general courts-martial has been so often mentioned in orders that it seems in- credible_that officers would be so negligent of | them, No officer can exeuse himself from at- tending the sessions of a court-martial, and the department commander will in the future hold officers to a strict accountability for their absences. The action of the court in finding the ac- cused guilty as charged, without the Intro- duction of any evidence looking to his guilt, cannot be sustained by any process of reason- ing known to the reviewing authority. Proceedings Are Disapproved. It is_the duty of the Government before it | can inflict any punishment on a plea of not guilty to overcome the.presumption of inno- | cence which surrounds even the greatest crim- inal by evidence of guilt, and until this is done, the findings must be not gullty, It was | the further duty of the court to modify its findings in accordance with the law and facts as explained to them, instead of foolishly ad- herfng to its mistake. Had the court taken the plea of the accused, and found him guilty of absence without leave, he could have been legally punished by being dishonorably dls- charged and confined at hard labor for six monihs; but he now escapes all merited pun- ishment which the court evidently considered preferable than to admit that it had committed an_error. The proceedings, finding and sentence are disapproved, and the accused will be released | from confinement and restored to duty. While all the members of the court are sponsible for the proceedings according to military regulations, the fault in similar cases is usually laid at the doors of the president of the court and the judge ad- vocate. named officers.

Charles Royzen, who has been masquer- ading as a cavalryman, appeared before Judge Fritz yesterday on the charge of petty larceny. He pleaded guilty and said he would walyve time for sentence. The Judge promptly sentenced him to serve six months in the County Jail. Royzen is a bootblack from Chicago. He came here recently by “beating” his way on freight trains. He made acquain- tances in the dance halls and saloons on Pacific street and hit upon the scheme of masquerading in a cavalry uniform and enticing soldiers to the resorts on the Barbary Coast, where if they did not lose jall their money and valuables he would take them to & lodging house and do the job himself. Complaints were soon made by duped soldiers at police headquarters and De- tective T. B. Gibson was detailed on the case. Robert O. Parker, who had two watches stolen from him by Royzen in a lodging house on Kearny street, was one of the complainants and when Royzen heard of it he had the audacity to make a charge at the Presidio that Parker was in the habit of stealing shirts from the stores and Parker was thrown into the Euzkrd house till an investigation could be made. Gibson, accompanied by a policeman, went to a dance hall on Pacific street Saturday night and 1ound Royzen in the midst of a group of soldiers. He was taken to the City Prison and booked on the charge of petty larceny for stealing Parker's watches which were worth less than $50. John Hoffman, another soldier, claims that Royzen robbed him of a diamond ring and other articles in a Kearny street lodging house and there are many others who make complaints. Royzen may yet | be prosecuted on the charge made by Hoff- n;la.n if the police can find the diamond ring. ' Great Weather Calendar. The Chattanooga Medicine Co., the manu- facturers of McElree's Wine of Cardul and Thedford's Black-Draught, have just issued the 1902 edition of the Cardul Weather Chart and Calendar. This calendar has sprung into uni- versal prominence by accurately foretelling the Galveston flood and predicting the droughts and | floods of the past summer, a year ahead of each occurrence. This office has just received one of these calendars, which consists of twelve | sheets of paper, 13x20 inches in size, all fas- | tened together with a gilt tin strip and a brass loop hanger. Each sheet contains the calen- dar for one month in large figures that can be read across the room. Under the figures pat- ent weather signals indicating Prof. De Voe's weather forecasts for every day in the year appear. We understand a few coples of it can be secured by sending 10 cents aplece in post- age stamps to The Chattancoga Medicine Co., Chattanooga, Tenn. ot T L B Shooting Gallery Tragedy.

SHORT WATCHES FOR POLIGEMEN Commissioners Consider New Scheme in Ex- ecutive Session. The Police Commissioners met in execu- tive session with Mayor Phelan last night after the transaction of the usual business of the board. The important proposition of devising a | new system of policing the town was dis- | increase in the force. | pand disci cussed. After a lengthy conference Chief Wittmann was directed to plan a scheme by which the patrolmen will have an eight-hour watch and sixteen hours off instead of the alternate six-hour watches now in vogue. This will necessitate two day and two night platoons and a large Chief Wittman will report at the next meeting. James F. Brazel is no longer a member of the police force of this city. He sent ir his resignation and it was promptly accepted. The resignation was presented by Brazel because he feared that he would be brought up before the Commissioners plined for conduct unbecoming a member of the department. On Sunday last Brazel reported for duty after an absence of nearly a month. He had been injured in_the late strike and was on sick leave. When notified to re- port for duty he was in good bodily health, but through an accident, unavoid- able or otherwise, Brazel's face bore evi- dence of having been in a collision when he reported for duty at the station. Cap- tain Spillane saw that Brazel was not presentable and Inquired the cause of the swellings. Brazel informed him that he had fallen on the sidewalk. The captain was of the opinion that Brazel had been struck by three sidewalks. It developed subsequently that Brazel had been en- gaged in a disgraceful brawl, and he was told that he would have to appear before the Police Commissioners. Rather than face the ordeal Brazel resigned his posi- tion. Frederick C. Knobman, a printer by trade, v'as sworn in to succeed him. The Commissioners transacted consider- able routine business. Permits for carry- ing deadly weapons were granted to a number of clitizens, and the granting of Mquor licenses occupied the attention of the board nearly ail the evening. Many applications for the renewal of saloon li- censes were denled, and fully 300 were granted. Policeman Charles F. Cassidy was be- fore the board for being fifty minutes late in reporting for duty. His explana tion was satisfactory, and on the recom- mendations of Chief of Police Wittman and Captain Spillane he was excused. Chief of Police Wittman was instructed to watch the Cafe Royal and the Baldwin Annex and stop percentage poker games if they were being conducted there. Policeman John F. O'Shea was repri- manded for leaning on a cigar counter while on duty. He claimed to be inquir- ing about slot machines. l The Lamp Hit Him. Alice Fitzpatrick and her husband, Wil- llam, fell into a conversational war last night at their room at the Lindell House, Sixth and Howard streets, and wou their affair in the police station.
