Smith, the well known rigger and ship- ping man, who died February 28, 1902, leav- ing an estate worth more than $50,000, bave entered into a dispute over his wealth and will probably soon be involved in a legal action to determine their rights. Smith was married twice, and the chil- dren of his first wife, who is dead, claim that - thelr mother's successor and her children unduly influenced Smith in the distribution of his property. G. F. Smith and A. D, Smith, children of the first wife, were engaged with their tather in the rigging business. Some time ago the deceased withdrew $7500 and transferred two-thirds of the business to Lis sons. Last October they pald him $1400 and he withdrew from the firm alto- gether. Between the time of his withdrawal and his death he divided his remaining prop- erty, consisting of lnterem in a large number of ships worth $50,000 and prep- erty on Dolores street, between Twenty- third and Twenty-fourth, among his sec- ond wife and the offspring of the second marriage, giving deeds and ‘bills of salc for the same. He left no will, and A. D. Smith brought the estate into court by petitioning for special letters of administration, claiming that Smith’s “property was held by rela- tives who pretended to own the same.” Mrs. Smith, the widow, also petitioned for special letters, nominating John H. Dawson, the well known druggist, as ministrator. The latter was appointed yes- terday by Judge Coffey. During the hear- ing G. F. Smith and ‘A. D. Smith charged their stepmother and her children with using undue influence over their father for the purpose of securing his property. Attorney W. M. Cannon, who represents ‘the children of the first wife, cross-ex- amined Mrs. Smith very sharply about a deposit of $5000 In & local bank. The oY DENMAN la PREJUDICED Lawyer Costello Objects to His Trying Miss McKinney. Before School Director James Denman can sit as one of the judges in the trial of Miss Mary C. McKinney, the teacher in the John Swett Grammar School, who is charged with incompetency, he must con- vince Judge Hunt that he is not prejudiced against the lady. According to Attorney Stephen V. Costello, who is looking out for the legal end of Miss McKinney’s bat- tle with the Board of Education and Prin- cipal Lyser, who preferred the charge | against her, Denman is not in a frame of mind to give the teacher a falr and im- partial hearing. The “school teacher’s” attorney has had Director C. W. Mark disqualified for ut- teriug opinions adverse to the lady and yesterday Costello asked for a writ of prohibition restraining Denman from try- ing Miss McKinney because of a certain speech the aged educator had with Super- Inténdent Webster. In this talk, alleges Costello, Denman said: “The woman is insane; we must not have any crazy teachers in the department.” The caseiwas assigned to Judge Hunt, ‘who issued the writ against Mark. Chon Keon Held for Murder, Chon Keon was held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Mogan yes- terday on the charge of murder without Dbail.

The Auditor holds that the mere appearance In court is not enough to warrant the pay. ment of $2 per diem to a juror, whils Judge Lawlor holds that under the code it does. The question came up at the Auditor's office yesterday when the demands of 130 Jurors were presented for payment. Alex Fraser, who held a demand signed by Judge Lawlor for §2 for one day's “ap- Pearance” in court in February last, and Henry Goldstone, who held a similar de- mand, caused all the ‘trouble. Fraser's wife told the Auditor that her husband had not been in town for five months and Goldstone said he had not “served” on a Jury for more than a year. This puzzled the Auditor and for a time trouble for some one seemed imminent. It was learned, however, that Fraser's warrant should have been drawn in favor of M Schwabacher and that the latter's failure to get his warrant was due to & mistake in - checking the names.
