ADAM CRANTS WILL 1S FILED Last Testament of Pioneer Merchant Devises Most of Estate to His Family ———— $100,000 FOR HIS WIDOW {Leaves Annuities to Broth- l Sums to His Grandehildren The will of Adam Grant, the pioneer | merchant, founder of the firm of Mur- | phy, Grant & Co., was filed for probate | yesterday. It was made January 23, 1904, and the signature of the deceased is witnéssed by Reuben H. Lloyd and | Percy E. Towne. The will disposes of | an estate worth more than $1,000,000. Of the estate $20,000. goes to charity, | the rest being devised to Emma Grant, widow of the deceased; Joseph D. Grant, his son; Douglass and Josephine | Grant, children of the-latter, and other relatives of the deceased. The will states that at the time of his marriage deceased was worth $40,- 000, and that as the estate he held at the time of his death was the result of a careful investment of this'sum he conslders the estate separate property. | He therefore leaves his widow $400,000, { the family residence at 1112 Ellis street {and a monthly Income of $1000, allow- |ing her, however, to elect, if she so ! chooses, to claim half of the estate, the | share she would be entitled to if the | estate had been community property. | To Douglass and Josephine Grant, his | grandchiidren, he ieaves $100,000 each, | they to acquire absolute possession of | this sum at the time they become ‘25 ! years of age, . providing that in the | opinion of the trustees of the estate, Emma Grant and Joseph Grant, they are capable of managing such a sum. {In the event that. the trustees con- sider them unfit, then the bequests are to be held in trust by the trustees for the benefit of the devisees. Grant de- | vises' to his sister, Jessie McKay, an income of $250 a year while the estate | is undergoing probate and $5000 cash when it is finally settled. He makes the same sort of bequest to each of the | daughters of his deceased sister, Belle | McDonald. To his namesake, William | Grant Morrow, he leaves $2500, and to | his trustees $10,000, to be held by them for the benefit of Mamie M. Hammond of Chicago, providing that upon her | death this sum shall revert to Joseph | Grant. He also devises to the trustees | $2000 to be held by them for the enefit | of Willlam Grant, his brother. The | residue of the estate is devised to Jo- | seph D. Grant, son of the deceased. | The charitable organizations men- | tioned in the will are the Protestant | Orphan Asylum, the Roman Catholic | Orphan Asylum, the Ladies’ Protective and Relief Soclety and the Pacific He- { brew Orphan Asylum. Each of these | institutions is to receive $5000. Grant provides that none of the be- ! quests made by him shall be paid un- | Jess_in the opipion of his son the firm of Murphy, Grant & Co. shall be able to stand the withdrawal from the busf- ness of the amounts devised. ALY PR T INQUEST ON VICTIMS OF TAILOR SHOP TRAGEDY Evidence That Carfagni Killed Mary Werner and Himself While Crazed by Jealousy. Coroner Leland held an inquest yesterday on the bodies of Louls Car- | fagni and Mary Werner, the victims of | the suicide and murder tragedy which took place on April 8 in Carfagni's tailor shop at the corner of Sacra- mento and Kearny streets. The testimony showed fagni, who was madly in love with the woman, became ecrazed through jealousy and shot her and himself. | The evidence was that the woman had | been keeping company with other men, and the theory was advanced that immediately before the shooting the two had words about the matter jand Carfagni in a moment of frenzy ! shot the woman and himself. { A verdict in accordance with the | facts was rendered. —_———— SUES FOR RECOVERY OF GREAT DANE DOG “B.

The Supervisors’ Finance Committee will take steps at to-morrow’s meet- ing of the board to recover from the estate of the late Commissioner of Pub- lic Works George H. Mendell his pro- portion of the defalcation of $8000 of ex-Cashler W. J. H. White of the Board of Public Works. The fact that Mendell’s estate has been finally, distributed inclines the committee to the opinion that it will be impossible to recover any money therefrom and that restitution will have to be looked for from the bonds- men of Mendell. The Finance Committee blames May- or Schmitz for neglecting to begin proper legal proceedings against the estate before final distribution was made. As far back as last June the Mayor was requested to take steps to reccver the amount of the shortage for which ex-Commissioner Marsden Man- son, Commissioner Casey and the late Commissioner Mendell are responsible, the defalcation having occurred during their incumbency. White had given a bond of $3000 with a surety company, thus leaving $5000 to be made up by the Commissioners under whom White was a subcrdinate at the time he em- bezzled the city’s funds. The Finance Committee contends that if Mayor Schmitz had not delayed in the matter the Mendell estate would nave had to pay its prorata of the shortage, and now it may be too late to recover it. City Attorney Long will be requested by resolution of the board to institute proceedings to recover from Mendell's estate or bondsmen tne amount for which he is held responsible under the charter, in this case something like $1700. Suit will also be instituted against Manson and Casey and their bondsmen for a similar amount. S D e St Stock certificates and seal presses at short notice. Edw. S.

WHITE'S CRIME | DESERTED WIFE - GETS ALIMONY Court Orders Emil Blumen- thal to Pay Spouse $25 a Month for Her Support SCORES YOUNG HUSBAND Judge Kerrigan Says Son of the Capitalist Has Brains Enough to Make a Living Judge Kerrigan is of the opinion that Emil Blumenthal, son of B. Blumen- thal, the millionaire glove manufactur- er, has brains enough to earn $100 a month, notwithstanding that Blumen- thal Sr. says his son is a mental weak- ling and has not sufficlent gray mat- ter to earn enough to keep himself. In accordance with this opinion, Judge Kerrigan made an -order directing young Blumenthal to pay to Lettie Blumenthal, his wife, $256 a month pend- ing the final determination of her suit for maintenance. He must also pay her $200 to enable her -to/rétain’ at- torneys to prosecute the action and $10 to defray the court costs of the proceedings. e “And,” said Judge Kerrigan, when he made the order, “unless this money is paid contempt proceedings can be instituted and this young man sent to jail. It is, perfectly clear from this evidence that this young man has no money and that at present he is not earning any, but it is also very clear that he can earn enough to satisfy this order.” Frank Vining, defendant 'in a suit for divorce on the ground of cruelty brought by Irene Vining, is willing encugh that the bonds uniting them should be severed, but he wants his wife to shoulder the blame for their matrimonial infelicities. Yesterday in a answer to her suit he denies ever treating her cruelly and in a cross- complaint charges that she has been too intimate with onme “Kfd" Parker to suit his ideas of wifely conduct. He jasks for a divorce on tme ground of infidelity and for the absolute custody of his daughter Irene. Desertion is charged in the com- plaints for divorce filed by Cora Far- ley against James E. Farley and W. H. Lewis against Daisy Lewis. Mary Strittmatter wants a divorce from Jo- seph Striftmatter on the ground of neglect. L.

PRINCIPALSHIP IS STILL OPEN Board of Education Wants More Applicants for Head of the Girls’ High School The prospective vacancy in the prin- cipalship of the Girls’ High School caused by the announced intention of Professor Elisha Brooks to resign at the beginning of the next term is still open, and the Board of Education is extreme- ly. desirous of receiving more applica- tions for the position. The foregoing announcement was made yesterday by Alfred Roncovieri, president of the Board of Education, who at the same time declared it was by no means a certainty that a selec- tion would be made from the candi- dates who have thus far applied for the place. Thus far but nine applications have been filed, which Roncovieri considers remarkable when the importance of the position, both from an educational and financial standpoint, is considered. ‘While the Board of Education recog- nizes the ability of the applicants, it is of the oninion that it should have a | 1arger fleld to draw from in order that the best available man may be ap- pointed. Roncovieri’s announcement will not likely prove consoling to the nine ap- plicants. Among those it seems that J J. Gallagher, head of classics in the Lowell High School; R. D. Faulkner, principal of the Franklin Grammar School, and A. W. Scott, principal of the Alameda High School, have de- veloped elements of strength in their efforts to secure the place. Roncovieri also stated that it is pro- posed ‘to subordinate politics to capa- bility in the selection of the man. That is to say that the man with the strong- est political backing will have no ad- vantage over a man that possesses su- | perior qualifications for the position. “The principalship of the Girls’ High School is one of the most important in the Public School Department,” said Roncovieri. “The appointee must have rare ability. The place pays $3000 a year for life, and the man that gets it will receive an equivalent of $100,000 in 3 per cent bonds. We want more applicants to present themselves, as we do not want to make any mistake, as the appointee will preside over the edu- cational destinies of San Francisco's great responsibility, and we will go very slowly in making a ‘selection.” —_———— Prisoners Are Sentenced.
