Phillips. She’is the bene- | ficiary under the testament who joined | forces with the contestant and testified | that Bertha Dolbeer was of unsound | mind at the time the instrument was | executed. George D. Gray, one of the | executors, and W. F. Williamson, his | attorney, were called to corroborat: the | statements of William G. Mugan, the | other executor, that Mrs. Phillips had | persistently demanded a bonus of $16.- | 000 to be added to her bequest of $10.000, ‘nnd threatened in seeking to eniorce | that demand to go on the stand and give testimony that she said would break the will. Mrs. Phillivs wds the strongest wit-| | ness brought forward by Contestant | Schander, for she was the only person | who testified that Miss Dolbeer was unquestionably insane. Mrs. J. L. Moody's testimony tended to raise & | question as to the mental condition of | the testatrix, but she did not meet the | issue squarely by a declaration that Miss Dolbeer was deranged. The te mony of Mrs. Phillips was very largely the basis of the contest, and the en- | deavor was therefore vigorous to con- | vinece the jurors that her statements | and opinion were unworthy of the cre- | dence that should influence them. The cross-examination of William G Mugan took the greater part of the morning session, and he reiterated his testimony as to interviews in which Mrs. Phillips told him that she must have $15,000 in addition to her bequest or she would give aid to the contestant The witness was followed by Attorney Williamson, who related the conversa- tions held with Mrs. Phillips at two in- terviews, one on August 8 and the oth- er on August 19. His testimony, was to the same effect as that of Mugan. Executor Gray said that when Mrs. Phillips called on him he suggested that she had been cared for in the will, but her reply was that a bequest of $10,000 was inadequate. MAKES VIGOROUS DEMAND. | “I want $25,000—as much as Mrs. | Warren received,” Mrs. Phillips had said, according to the witness. “It's money I'm after, and I'm going to get it out of Miss Warren,” was one of the picturesque statements ascribed to her. Mrs. Phillips appeared very much angered because Mrs. Warren, mother of Miss Warren, should have heen be- queathed $25,000—$15,000 more than had been left to herself. If the money was not forthcoming, she had threatened the witness, she would “tell what she knew and help out the contestant.” Mrs. Phillips also told him that the at- torneys who were about to file the con- test were trying at that time to have | an interview with her. | Gray answered Mrs. Phillips, he ex- plained, that he could do nothing in re- gard to her demand further than to | present it to Miss Warren for consider- | ation if the opportunity should present | itselt. 1 Mugan was recalled to produce a | number of letters recelved from Miss Dolbeer after she left San Francisco. In one of them, written in Paris, she tells of being ill. Miss Jolliffe, Rudolph Spreckels, Miss Josselyn, - James D. Phelan and others have testified that they saw Miss Dolbeer on dates subse- quent to the writing of the letter and | that she was then in good health, which | she must have regained.

B.—Please don’t mention to a soul what | I Have written about myself. | The transcript of testimony of Adolph Schander taken at a preliminary hear- ing in the suit was read to the jury, showing that the contestant admitted having never been across the threshold of the Dolbeer home since Mrs. Dol- beer, his sister, committed suicide in | 1879, { The deposition of Miss Ethel Postley, taken in New York, was read, in which shie described a visit with Miss Dolbeer | at the Waldorf-Astoria before the lat- ter sailed for Europe. In the opinion of the deponent the testatrix was at that time perfectly rational and sane. | The trial will be resumed this morn- ing. —_——— Age Improves Canned Fish. R. D. Hume & Co. yesterday sued the Morton Draying and Warehouse Company for $4385 damages and an in- junction preventing the removal of 568 cases of canned salmon from the warehouse and restraining the de- fendant from libeling the quality of the fish. The plaintiffs contend that canned salmon improves with age. In October, 1801, they placed 2819 cases of forty-eight dozen each of salmon in the warehouse. They were to be held until ordered delivered. Of the Jot 192 cases leaked and became classed as “‘do-overs.” These were set aside to be sold at reduced prices and when sold the defendants mixed’ eighty-nine good cases with them. The plaintiffs demanded seftlement for the difference and it was not paid. Now, it is contended, the defendants say 563 cases remaining are not of good quality and their removal from the ‘warehouse is thre:tened. Gifted Young Player Makes Initial Bow JISE SMALLEY, A TAL- + " ENTED PIANISTE, WHO GAVB 3 INITIAL CONCERT LAST NIGHT. | -3 Louise Smalley Shows Much Talent. Miss Louise Smalley gave her intro- ductory piano recital at Lyric Hall last night. Her efforts in handling difficult numbers met with rounds of applause from an audience that crowded the house and she was the recipient of nany handsome floral tokens. Miss Smalley shows an excellently developed talent. Her touch is artis- tie, her technique brilliant and her in- pretation shows an individual char- acter. These qualities were shown par- ticularly in her interpretation of the Beethoven sonata in G for plano and violin, in which Harry Samuels, the well known violinist, played his part masterfully. A nocturne by Fleld was given with much deiicacy; “Poeme de Mal,” by Moszkowski, virtuosity, and a nocturne and bolero by Chopin with full understanding of the characteristics of this master. The climax came with the rendering of the “Hungarian Fantasie,” by Lizst, the orchestra part being arranged by Professor Genss for a second plano. In it unusual strength and endurance were shown and the young pianist also found ample opportunity to display her delicacy of touch. Harry Samuels added to the pro- gramme a superb rendering of the “Faust Fantasie,” by Wieniawski. AL ISR SoP Comstock Companies Dissolve. An official passing of Comstock names that were used to conjure with in the making and breaking of for- tunes a quarter of a century ago was started yesterday with the filing in the County Clerk’s office of five petitions for the dissolution of corporations.

Mother Guardian Angel and the Rev. Mother St. Bernard, of the Helpers of the Holy Souls, St. Louis, paid a visit yesterday to Pres- byterian House, 920 Sacramento street, escorted by the Rev. Father Henry 1. Stark, C. S. P., of St. Mary’s (Paulist) Chur¢h. Miss Wheeler, superintendent of the Presbyterian Mission Home, received the visitors, who, Father Star ex- plained, desired to inquire into the methods of the institution. Father Stark said that it is the intention of the mothers to occupy a | convent, as soon as erected, on Stock- | ton street, near Washington, where missionary work among the Chinese will be conducted. During the visit of the mothers and | Father Stark the Rev. J. W. Laugh- | lin, president of the Presbyterian Ministers’ Association, and perhaps one of the most noted missionaries who have visited China, unconscious of the visit, was giving his brethren | of the ministry an account of ‘the energetic missionary labors of Pres- | byterians in China. An interesting address was delivered | before the Congregational Ministers' | Club vesterday by the Rev. E. O.| Tade of Berkeley, in which he set| forth Dr. Marcus Whitman's services | to the United States in saving the | “Oregon country” to the republic. { The speaker recounted the trip made by Dr. Whitman across the mountains in the midst of a severe winter. This act brought to the at-| tention of President Tyler and his Cabinet the value and importance of | that region of the Northwest Terri- | tory, which resulted finally in making | it a part of the United States instead of trading it off to Great Britain for a mere song. The energy with which the Chris- tlan Church Ministers’ Association is working on the preliminary arrange ments for its national convention wi again evidenced yesterday at a large meeting of the gene® committee. The | Rev, P. C. Macfarlane presided. Let- ters are still being received from all parts of the East relative to accom- modation and other matters pertain- | ing to the occasion. Though the 40,000 which attended the convention in St. Louis will not be duplicated here, vet from the communications and promises so far it is confidently expected by the com- | mittee that something like 10,000 will visit San Francisco. | At the Methodist Ministers’ Associa- | | tion, held at Epworth Hall yesterday, the Rev. F. A. Keast read a paper on the growth of Methodism in the city during the last eleven years. ————— TWO DAYS AT SANTA CRUZ. ‘ Round Trip, With Board at Hotel, $8.
