TR 0.3, Knowledge of Freshly Made Will Shrouds Death of Wealthy Man. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 15. James A. Serrine, supposed to be wealthy, died at 818 Broadway yesterday, and his body was hurriedly shipped to San Francisco for cremation by friends. According to Attorney Herbert Patterson, they took a recently made will of the old man’s and a box containing stocks and bonds. To be on time, Public Adminis- trator Gray filed a petition for special letters on the estate to-day, and while the petition has not been granted he has it on file awaiting the first move made for probating It Serrine was a product of the frontier. He is reputed to own a rich mine in New Mexico, over which half a hundred men | have been killed. It is sald that a short | time ago he refused an offer of $150,000 | for it. He is known to have owned real estate in Chicago. He died with two or | three men about him, and a man giving | the name of Fred Kleupfer was asked to | witness the will. » Patterson in conversation to-day said: “This haste is odd, the making of the | will and the taking of a box supposed to | contain valuables by men who were not | bound to him by other ties than those of | friendship, so we are prepared and wait- ing to see what they will do in the mat- | ter.” i ———— — REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS.

Capitalists Propose Consoli- dation on Both Sides of the Bay. BLEL IR A Oakland Office San Francisco Call. 1118 Broadway, Aug. 15. Consolidation of all of the steam laun- dries of Oakland and San Francisco into one corporation which shall control the linen cleaning industry about the bay is the project which has been launched by a number of prominent capitalists who are interested in the business now. Credit for the move is given to the Rosenfeld Sons, owners of the Contra Costa Laundry Company of this city. Among well informed laundry proprietors the story is current that the Rosenfelds, who sre also known in San Fraucisco as heavy dealers in coal, have associated with them in the proposed laundry trust the Slosses of the Alaska Commercial Company. It is the opinion of conservative laun- dry men that the consolidation of at least 75 per cent of the enterprises in business would be required to give sufii- clent control to swing the project. To effect the combination would require the investment, according to men in the business, of at least $2,500,000. Some of the large plants in San Francisco like | the United States, San Francisco and Cascade, Shasta, St. Nicholas and White Star run as high as $200,000 to $300,000 in valuation. All of the large steam plants in San Francisco have been approached by rep- resentatives of the interested capitalists and in some cases options have been given on plants. Some of these have expired, but within a few days there has been a revival of effort in the matter. Nearly every concern in San Francisco and those in Oakland like the Eureka, Cascade, Con- tra Costa and Domestic, who do business on both sides of the bay, have had ap- praisements made on the plants. All of this is preliminary to the organ- ization of the trust, if sufficlent strength can be secured by a consolidation to con- trol the business. Some of the laundry owners have taken a great deal of inter- est in the movement, while others are showing no anxiety to get aboard the combination train. ) Oaklan laundries that carry on a business usively in this city, such as the smaller French laundries, have not been Invited to take part in the plan of organization. So far the negotiations have been confined exclusively to the larger businesses. Both cash and stock exchange propos!- tions have been advanced in the matter oi payment for the laundries that shall bé absorbed. Thus far a flat coin basis his been established by a number of the money-making laundries in the prelimin- ary discussions about the project. It is expected that the matter will very short- ly reach a decisive point. The under- standing among the proprietors is that the trust plan will not be gonsummated in an organization unless at least 75 per cent of the business is enlisted. That would mean a controlling hold on the laundry industry on both sides of the bay. —_—— Arrested on Felony Charge. Pauline Fredericks was arrested by Pa- trolmen Pearl and Dave Murphy last evening at 46 O'Farrell street on a war- rant charging her with felony embezzle- ment. The complaint was sworn to before Judge Cabaniss on March 6 by Benjamin Barbash, a furniture dealer, residing at 1176 Ellis street. The complainant alleges that Miss Fredericks sold him furniture for $140 which he subsequently discovered had already been mortgaged. According to Barbash the transaction took place last fall, and he gave the woman ample time to repay the money. He has been look- ing for her since and upon learning of her present abode reported the matter to the police and the arrest followed. Miss Fredericks was released on $200 cash bail. g T Sudden Death of Mrs. Dray. Mrs. Jane Dray of 1226 Golden Gate ave- nue died suddenly yesterday morning on the sidewalk of Golden Gate avenue, near Fillmore, while walking with W. D. Tay- lor. Mrs. Dray's husband was confined to his bed sick, and at his request she went for his friend, Mr. Taylor, to keep him company for a while. They were not far from the house when she sank to the gidewalk in a faint and died In a few moments.
