Huff, who died January 19 last, yes- terday filed a contest to his will, which was admitted to probate on January 21. Revilo S. Huff, a brother, was named in the will as executor and sole legatee. Another brother, Charles C. Huff, is an heir at law. The sister contends that at the time ©of making his will, September 17 1903, Harry Huff was weak in mind and body and subject to the influence of his brother. She further declares | that he did not sign the will in ques. tion. . The estate is worth only $1597 mnd the chief asset is an ark of five rooms in San Francisco Bay, worth $1000. Harry Huff was once a Chinese in- terpreter in the Federal Court and it was supposed that his accumulated wealth was much greater than the sum wet forth in the inventory of his estate. ————— Weak Eyes cured by Murine Eye lem- edy.

The rate at | which decisions are being ground out of the interior offices on the top floor of the Parrott building is a marvel to jurists. Last year the court was six months behind; this year it is two months behind. There has been noth- | ing like it in California jurisprudence in the last decade. If this celerity is maintained liti- gants may yet live to see final decislons in cases that they themselves have | instituted. Heretofore men have gen- | | erally had to leave their litigation as a legacy to heirs, who have in turn | helped ggling legal fraternity to keep, feet and passed on. The law says that decisions must be rendered within ninety days of the time the cases are submitted or the Justices cannot collect their salaries | of $500 a menth each. For years the | jurists have been collecting their Janu- ary pay in August and when they re- | tired they had money coming until they could get a case. But there has been an innovation. The decisions come down so fast that the secretaries can only take short va- cations and there is enough work in the clerk’s office to keep the deputies working overtime. In some of the Eastern States liti- | gation can be commenced in the Supe- rior Court and ended in the Supreme Court within a few months. A civil case in this State often lasts three years. The Supreme Court, however, has an unusually heavy July calendar and the secretaries fear that there will be further arrears in salaries by Sep- tember. The solution of the difficulty is the establishment of an appellate court and the people of the State will be called upon to sanction this proposed new tribunal next year, it is said. —_————— ANOTHER HOLDER OF MONTGOMERY-AVENUE BONDS Max Frank Follows Union Trust Com- pany in Snit Against the State for Payment. Another suit, identical with the one filed a few days ago by the Union Trust Company, was commenced yes- terday against the State of California for payment of principal and interest on Montgomery-avenue bonds. The action is brought by Max Frank, through his attorney, J. M. Rothchild, and Holladay & Holladay, attorneysfor the trust company, are of counsel for the plaintiff, Frank sets forth that he owns sixty- five of the unredeemed securities, the face value of which is $65,000, and he demands accrued interest in the sum of $89,250 up to January 1, 1903, when | the bonds matured, and further inter- est at 7 per cent from the dated of ma- | turity until now. e First clearapce sale in 22 years.

The Board of Public Works decided yvesterday that certain repairs to bi- tuminous and asphalt pavements left over from the last fiscal year will be done by F. M. Yorke, the new firm which secured the contract. There is work left which will take three months and the board is of the opin- ion that as Yorke’s bid was much less than the price under the old contract that it will be advisable to let him do the work, since a considerable sum will be saved thereby to property owners who must pay for side sewer repairs. ———— Swell booklets are a habit with Edward Knowles Comrany, printers, 24 Second st. * —————— Insolvent Plumber.

SHE While on Midnight Drive Suit for possession of various securi- ties valued at $63,950 and $10,000 dam- ages for the wrongful withholding thereof was brought in the Superior Court yesterday by Elizabeth G. Mes- ser through her attorneys, Samuel M. Shortridge and Robert -B. McMillan. The defendant is Thomas R. Hayes, formerly manager for Main & Win- chester, and father of Charles E. Hayes, deceased. The plaintiff alleges that on March 24, 1903, the defendant, without her consent, took possession of the property in question and when she demanded it from him on July 7 last he refused to give it up. These securities are alleged to have been deeded by Charles E. Hayes, son of the defendant, to Mrs. Messer short- ly prior to Hayes Jr.'s death, caused by a fall from a buggy on March 23. Young Hayes was riding with Mrs. James O’Connell, daughter of Con-| gressman Loud, through Golden Gate | Park at midnight. The vehicle was overturned and Hayes was fatally in- Jured. Besides the property which Mrs. Mes. | ser demands, she received $10,000 on an | insurance policy which young Hayes had secured in her favor. She was to | have married him in September, 1903. | Mrs. Messer was formerly the wife of | Nat T. Messer, the stock broker. The securities named are: Five hun- dred and twenty shares in the Port- land Cement Company, 800 Tonopah Consolidated Mining Company, 1000 To- | nopah Light and Power Company, 150,- 100 shares of 1901 Oil Company and four bonds of the Standard Portland Ce- ment Company, valued at $1000 each. All these are alleged to have been deeded to Mrs. Messer by the younger Hayes as tokens of his affection for her. The father of the unfortunate young bon vivant took possession of all his son’s effects. When Mrs. Messer applied to him for the securities which the son held in trust for her, Thomas B. Hayes gave her some non-negotiable bonds which were in her own name. The securities demanded are said to have been inclosed in an envelope which bore Mrs. Messer's name. These were negotiable and Hayes refused to turn them over. Mrs. Messer says she walted until July 7 of the present year, believing that Hayes would ultimately deliver the property. Then she made a per- emptory demand, which was refused, and suit was instituted. Hayes is not in town. ————— Hand Crushed Between Cars. O. P.

The visitor was recognized | as Carrie Dixon, the woman who fig- ured in the Nora Fuller case as the friend of Charles B. Hadley, who was suspected of having committed the sensational murder more than two vears ago. The fact of the Dixon woman's refusing to give her name or say anything after she had viewed the remains gave rise to the rumor that she had identifled the remains of the suicide as her former companion, Hadley. From a pawn ticket found in the pocket of the dead man it is supposed | his name was L. J. Hanley, but that fact has not been established. The suicide was a younger man than Hadley and had light brown hair, while the fugitive has dark hair mixed with gray. The body has been turned over to the city undertaker for burial. ———————————— MEN OF BUTCHER TRADE HOLD THEIR ELECTIONS The Butchers’ Union and other or- ganizations affiliated with it elected officers yesterday evening.

Makes Little Children Look Gaunt as Skeletons MOTHER INSTINCT DEAD Mrs. Proctor Says of Child:' “Let Her Die, There Is No Chance for Her Anyhow” More brutal than pages of Zola and | more touching than any Dickens story | of neglected children is the history of | the three little Proctors, Gladys, aged | 6; Edith, aged 4, and Georgie, aged 22 months. For two years they have been | cooped in a wretched hovel at 260 Ship- ley street, starved, neglected and for days entirely forgotten by their be- | sotted parents. | Sometimes neighbors, who scarcely eked out an existence themselves, would carry food to the babies, some- times the irresponsible parents would be sober for a few days and the little ones would be given a few morsels of stale bread soaked in water, but often they would cry themselves to sleep with gaunt hunger gnawing at their vitals. The case was brought under the no- | tice of the California Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children about a month ago. Secretary White sent Dr. Howard-and Miss Lucy Fisher to investigate. They found the elder daughter, Gladys, almost in the last stages of consumption and the other | two children naked, unkempt and un- dersized from the effects of slow star- ! vation. | Secretary White tried to awake any spark of the maternal Instinct that | might be in Mrs. Mary Proctor, the mother. He begged, pleaded and threat- ened, but to no avail. Miss Fisher made daily visits to the hovel with nourishment and medicines for the babjes for one entire month. All that time the wretched mother was in vari- ous stages of intoxication. “Let her alone,” she often remarked | of her eldest child, Gladys; “she's got | die anyhow.” For some weeks Miss Fisher tried to bring back to the creature some realiz- | ation of a mother’s duties, but drink | had made her less responsible than an animal. As a last resort Miss Fisher applied to the poiice and Mary Proctor was ar- rested on Tuesday. When Judge Con- lan heard the charges and saw photo- graphs of the babies—gaunt, hollow- eyed and more pitiful than pictures from any famine country—he expres: ed a regret that the maximum sentence for such an inhuman offense was only six months in the County Jail The father, Charles Proctor, a strik- [ ing stableman, was sentenced yester- | day by Judge Mogan to the same term of imprisonment. The society will ap- ply for guardianship papers over the | three children. Already the little ones are gaining flesh under the care of the Assoclated Charitles and wondering how they came to fall into such a par- adise. Dr. Howard thinks that there is hope even for Gladys, now that she | | can see the sunshine occasionally. ..

He had | paid for his ticket on the steamer and | also for his transportdilon to New York. The latter ticket he had with | will receive proper nourishment and |pim byt his steamer ticket was in'a | wallet which he had had in his inside | pocket when he got up in the morn-| ing. | Just as Silverstein discovered his loss | he was called to the telephone at the| ferry baggage room and notified that | his wallet had been found at the St. Paul House. Highly elated, Silverstein returned to the St. Paul, but when the wallet was given him he found that | his money was gone. | Silverstein arose early yesterday morning and was considerably excited over his contemplated trip. He packed | his trunk hurriedly and was anxious| for the expressman to come and take | it away. A short time after he left the hotel Willam Stulz, who attends to the elevator during the night, found | a wallet under the front door mat| “while sweeping, and upon investigation discovered Silverstein’s ticket to Ger- many therein. Stulz knew that Sil- verstein was at the depot and at once called him up on the telephone. When the purse was handed to Sil- verstein upon his return to the hotel he discovered his loss and accused the Japanese servant of having extracted the money. The matter was reported to the police and Detective Wren was detailed on the case. Stulz and R. Wanda, the Japanese servant, were taken to the police station, but after being questioned by Chief Wittman were released, as Silverstein would not swear out a warrant. The general supposition is that Sil- verstein dropved his wallet while going through the hall and that some of the roomers found it, extracted the money and placed the wallet, with the ticket, under the mat. The money consisted of $500 in $100 bills and $125 in smaller de- nominations. Silverstein has delayed his departure for Germany and in the meantime the police are working on the case. Sil- verstein formerly conducted an adver- tising and loan business at 116 McAl- lister street. INSISTS APPOINTMENT OF DOLAN AS PATROLMAN Civil Service Board Finds Charges Against Eligible Are Not Sus- tained by Police Record. The appointment of M. J. Dolan as patrolman by the Police Commission wag made last Tuesday night because the Civil Service Commission insisted that it should be made. The Police | Commission had at first refused to ac- cept Dolan from the eligible list on the ground that he had been in some trouble fourteen years ago. The Civil Service Commission asked for a history of the case and the Po- lice Commission submitted from the police records that Dolan had been ar- rested in 1890 for assaulting an old motion of the District Attorney. Dolan was tried on a charge of per- jury growing out of the assault case, but he was acquitted of the charge by a jury.
