BUSINESS MEN 10 HOLD AALLY Meeting Is Called to Ex- change Views on Im- migration Work. > State Board of Trade Sends Out Invitation to Inte- rior Counties. A meeting of business men will be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce pursuant to a call issued by Andrea Sbarboro, chair- man of the California Promotion Commit- tee of San Francisco.; Invitations have been sent out to men’ engaged In mer- chandising, shipping, manufacturing and in financia{ affairs in 8an Francisco. In the call for the meeting it is set forth that it is of the utmost importance that all loyal Californians should co-operate 1 | the movement {or the future prosperity ! of San Francisco, which largely depends on the pros€rity of the interior. The text of the call, which is addressed to the business men of San Francisco, is as fol- lows: Loyal Citizens Invited to Attend. Your committee appointed by the commercial organizations of the city and State to formu- late and carry out plans tending to develop California, exploit its resources and bring peo- ple and eapital here, has redched that stage in its proceedings where it is deemed expedient to hold a general meeting of men of affairs, where matters of lmportance may be discussed and ideas be expressed that will prove of value to the committee. To accomplish the work planned it is of the utmost {mportance that all loyal Californians co-operate in this movement that signifies so much to the future prosperity of San Francisco, We have an unparalleied sea port fortified by a tributary country with natural resources only requiring people of the proper kind to develop it into the most productive territory In the world and on the prosperity of the interior of our State must its metr 11 rely. A meeting is thereforé called for this day, Wednesday, April 9, at 3 o'clock in the after- noon, at the rooms of the San Francisco Cham- ber of Commerce. It is earnestly hoped there will be a repre- sentation present that will do credit to the com- munity and show the country at large the in- tense interest in the movement toward promot- ing a Greater California and a Greater San Francisco. All are cordially invited to be present. ANDREA SBARBORO, Chairman California Promotion Committee of San Francisco. Accompanying the call for the meeting the following significant statement of facts is recelved from President Sbar- boro: Chicago, the metropolis of the Middle West, owes its prosperity to the spirit of its citizens and also to the rapid increase in the population of the surrounding country taken largely from sections farther east. The tendency is a migra- tion westward and now is the time to catch the tide at its flood by making known the surpass- ing attractions offered on this coast. State Béard Addresses Counties. Letters are being received dally at the rooms of the State Board of Trade by Manager Fiicher making inquiries con- cerning the material conditions for home- seekers coming to California. Several of the counties of the State that are not affiliated with the board are stirring in the matter of having exhibits placed with | the State board, together with literature conecerning county resources. Manager Filcher has addressed repre- sentative men in all of the non-affiliating counties, asking them to join in the move- ment to encourage Immigration to the State and setting forth that the State Board of Trade hopes to see at least one good, live Board of Trade, or other or- ganization having in view the advance- ment of the community, started in every county that has no such organization now and also that the Supervisors of all the counties will con¢lude to expend a por- tion or all of the immigration fu at their disposal in heiping along the work. A part of the pamphiet addressed to the representative men the non-afliating counties is as follows: There is no doubt that such expenditure pru- dently managed and carefully directed, if per- sisted In, is one of the best investments a coun- ty can make. The first and most effective move in this direction for the least expenditure is to join the State Board of Trade. This will cost You only $15 a month. Such membership or affiliation entitles you to space for the exhibit of your products, which afterbeing installed wfll be cared for by us; it entitles you to our service and our postage in distributing your literature, thus insuring that it will not be wasted or piaced in barren flelds; it entitles you to file with us a carefully prepared list of the agricul- tural or horticultural oppgrtunities, manufac- turing opportunities, minink opportunities, or opportunities for other investments that exist in your county, these to be carefully and prop- erly arranged and kept here for the inspection of visiturs and as a source of Information to inquirers along the lines of which they treat. Monterey County will probably place an exhibit in the rooms of the smtg Board of ‘Trade soon. Letters have been re- ceived making inquiries concerning the necessary steps to be taken to make the exiibit complete. —_— GREVEN OPERATIC CONCERT GIVES DELIGET TO HEARERS Miss Mildred Kearney’s “Carmen’ Selections Make Especial Hit.

Falr filed a petition for a rehearing :n tre matter of the disposal of the personal property in the Supreme Court yesterday. If the court should grant the desired re- hearing, which the members of the legal | profession in general very much doubt, the night will begin all over again. If | not, the dispute will be finally laid at | rest. It was expected that there would be presented a petition for a rehearing, but the document filed in the Supreme Court yesterday Is not just what was ex- pected. The argument is couched in very re- spectful terms. There is, however, at various points a vein of severe criti- cism on the actlon of the court in decid- ing the case as it did. The attorneys who wrote the petition stand in no danger of being cited for contempt. They are toy clever for that. ‘'hey make some veny rapier-like thrusts, however, which are likely to be somewhat displeasing to the Justices of the State’s highest. tribunal. The petition is presented over the names of Garret McEnerney, Robert Y. Hayne, Willlam M. Plerson and George E. Crothers. The document opens as follows: The appellants regret to have to trouble the court with another petition for rehearing in the same estate, but we are persuaded. that your Honors will consider no_trouble too great 1f it make the right prevail, and that it will be your delight and pleasure to retrace your steps if you can be shown that error has been com- mitted. Comments on the Decision. “The petition goes ‘on to quote the court’s opinion, where in speaking of the decision 1n regard ' to the real property it is sald, “It happened that the distri- bution there appealed from dealt only with the real property; but it would as cieurly have swept away the claim of the trustees to the personalty if that had been in the way, as it did their claims to the life estate.” The petitioners make the following comment on this statement: We have, of course, no means of knowing what the court “‘would have' done If the case before it had been other than it was; end we submit with deference that; in a legal sense, the court itself cannot know what it would have done in a case which was neither before it nor argued to it. But passing the statement as to what the court would have done with the personal property provision (If that had been in the way), we submit that if it will look again into its former opinion it will see that it is mistaken In supposing that it decided any- thing about the personal property. This will be made entirely clear by a brief examination. he court spent about six months de- ciding the case and it is feared that the phrase about the “prief examination” will not rest easily on its judiclal stomach. The petition goes on to show very clear- ly that the court did not know what it was doing when the famous opinion that settled $9,000,000 was written. The petitioners a little further on in the argument in commenting upon the court’s citation of a section of the Civil Code In upholding 1its position, say: The section says nothing the general plan of the testator, The court— adopting a 'somewhat loose expression from another State, which has ng statutory provision like ours, which statement is contrary to the current authority—simply reads that limiting condition into the section. There is no warrant for this. A few pages further on the petitioners make theptollaw(n‘z thrust at tl?e court: Court Is Given Instructions. But the opinion Boes on to speak of the ‘‘pre- sumed wiehes’ the. testator_and adopts a statement that ‘‘the test is whether the uphold- ‘ing of one part and the rejection of another will defeat the presumed: wishes of the testator.” We do not know whether the ‘‘general plan’” or “‘the scheme” of the will referred to in the opinion are d upon the testator's ‘‘pre- sumed wishes” or not. But, passing this, we deny that there are any such things. What are the “presumed wishes” of a testator? What authorizes a court to presumeé anything about his wishes? We respectfully submit ithat the only wishes which a court can know' anything about are those which he has expressed in his will, to which the court is confined. - After giving the court the above quoted out preserving g:locted&x‘re, tl|:e_ utlcmelnt t'llv:n tol’{; ef digcussion of a point in" real decision. It is hi that the lnt:s court is. inconsistent in regard to its decision of the two cases. 2 It is then On the present Ppesl e have provisions instructions as to the correct method of | -‘presumed wishes" of the testator.

Three. burglars tried 'to crack the safe in the office of the brass works of M. Greenberg & Sons, at 225-227 Beale street, at 1:30 this morning, but were discovered by the police and ran away before they had succeeded in forcing open the strong box. - ‘Watchman J. A. Moriarity of Morse's patrol says he passed the office of the brass works at 12:35 and a light was then burning there. When Patrolman Willlam Desmond came to the place at 1:30 a. m. he saw that the office was in darkness. | He entered the front door and as he did | s0 two men crawled out through a rear | window. A third man joined them and they vanished in the darkness. Desmond found that the marauders had knocked off the knob of the combiration, and had drilled a hole in the safe besides. They had nearly bored through when the | policeman appeared. On the floor were | powder, fuse and some tools. It is be- | lieved the men were expert cracksmen | from the manner in which they had pro- ceeded in their attempt to open the safe. Merchants Form Association. The Merchants' Mutual Benefit Associa- | tion, a beneficlal society organized by the merchants of this city, was incorporated yesterday with the following prominent business men as directors: E. B.

The will of the late Major B. F. Pope was flled for probate yesterday. He leaves his_estate, estimated to be worth $18,500, to his wife, and in the case of her demise | to nis three younger children.

The “at home” and military ball given last night by the officers of the First Infantry Regiment of the National Guard in the Page-street Armory in celebration of the opening of the new regimental headquarters was one of the most bril- Mant functfons in the military line that has been given In this city for years. The new quarters have a parlor and buffet on the ground floor, while on the upper floor are four rooms for the use O’'Nell, his regimental adjutant and other officers. These rooms are fitted in a tasty manner. The parlor is handsomely furnished and the walls are hung with many military pictures. Prominent among these plctures is a large crayontype of General James F. Smith. At various promainent places in the room. trophies that iave been won by the regiment are displayed.
