Dated, San Francisco, May 22, 1882. Much surprise was expressed at the date of the will, it being thought that Mr. Sutro would have brought it up to the ent time while he retained gls busi- | ( corner of Point | feet and | s of land marked 1 and II last | hereinbefore described and each thereof shall | | | | applied by sald board of truswees for such char- | ities, institutions of learning and science and for premiums to be set apart for distinguished | in- | scholarships and sclentific discovery and ventions as shall be directed by my executors such directions by my said executors shall be filed and recorded in the County Recorder's office of the city and county of San Francisco, within three (3) years and the directions so given, filed and recorded within the time so pre- scribed ehall be obligatory and binding upon sald board of trustees, and in default of sald executors giving such directions within the time and in manner aforesaid, I direct that said board of trustees at once organize and elect proper officers for such organization, and within twelve months thereafter designate, se- lect and appoint by resolutions entered on their minutes such application of the funds realized from such sales, but strictly within the purposes and objects herein by me men- tioned, as they may deem best, for record with said County Recorder, a copy of such resolu- tons, and my executors shall, upon a default on their part as aforesald, haye no further right to give such directions to sald board. XXVI. The sald board of trustees shall con- sist of the Governor of the State of California, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of Californla, the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the city and county of San Francisco, the U the District of California, city of San Francisco, the president of Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco, the president of the board of regents of the Uni- Versity of California and their successors in office and six other members to be chosen by the above-named officers, .three from amongst the leading bankers of San Francisco and the other three from amongst my male descend- ants or those of my brothers bearing the name of Sutro; and In case of the abolishment of any after my death, the Mayor of the of the offices named or the reorganization of | the government or courts of the State of Cali- fornia or_of the city and county government of San Francisco, effecting a_change in the name or office or any of the officers mentlone the remaining trustees shall immediately pro- ceed to select officers filling positions “corré- sponding thereto as near as in thelr judgment may be. XXVIL At the end of the ten years herein mentioned for the execution of the trust ands duties of my executors as aforesaid, and prior to the conveyance herein provided to be made of sald property to said board of trustecs, my executors s ficers herein named to constitute part of said board their acceptance of said trust, and also the acceptance in like form of the six mem- bers thereof to be elected as aforesald, and in case any elect shall decline, or for thirty days there- after neglect so to signify their acceptances, such vacancy or vacancies shall be filled by the members who have accepted out of other incumbents of Federal, State or county or city officers and other persons, as the case may be. The acceptances and declinations herein men- tioned shall be filed in the permanent archives of the board. XXVIIL Two-thirds of said board of trus- tees, at any meeting thereof, shall have full power to execute all duties of thelr trust, and a mafority of my executors shall have full power to act in the discharge of their duties. XXIX. In order that my executors, or, in their_default, the trustees, shall, in respect to the directions they are authorized to give, be able to act more intelligently in carrying out my instructions they shall offer in three of the leading newspapers of San Francisco, of New York and of London, England, by an adver- tisement_in each of kaid papers, and pay the sum of fifteen hundred dollars for the best practical treatise upon the application and management of the funds to be realized from such sales, in conformity with the general out- lines herein expressed; one thousand dollars for the second in merit of said treatises and five hundred dotlars for the third in merit of said treatises. But my executors are not authorized, but are expressly prohibited, to direct the ap- plication of any of the funds realized from the sale of said lands to any institution or char- ity or purpose which is in any degree sectar- ian, or in the management of which any priest, clergyman, minister or rabbi or other religious officer shail have any voice or control, and said board of trustees are in like manner prohibited from making any such application. XXX. My execuiors, during the time that they sball have the charge and management of the parcels of real estate herein referred to and numbered I and II, may lease the same for sald term, collect rents, pay taxes, nssess- ments and the necessary ‘expenses connected therewith, and in case there shall remain a’ eurplus may employ such surplus in the im- provement of £aid property in such manner as to increase its value and income; and said board of trustees shall, after they take the management and charge of said property, in iike manner lease and collect the rents thereof, and out of the same pay taxes, assessmepts and necessary expenses and employ any sui- Plus in the Improvement of the property by B hg bulldings or otherwise. But in ocare the rents and {ncome from all the property shail not be sufficlent to defray such charges and expenses or other things fequired to pre- serve the ownership, they may, as a last resort, dtspose of enough of said real estate to pay the _same. of such officers or such members | | salary, | dally at the office to tender his services fted States Circuit Judge for | the | d, | all obtain in writing from the of- | faculties. The value and extent of properties have changed greatly in the sixteen years that have elapsed since the | will was drawn. Inti es of Mr. Sutro explain the mat- | ter to their own satisfaction. They af- firm that, like many other rich men, he had a presentiment that if he made a will he would die Shurtl?' thereafter. Again, with all his wonderful he was a energy, | “manana’” man, always ready to put off {action on any matter untll to-morrow. The paragraph relating_to Miss Hattie Trundle, also known as Mrs. George Al- len, has revived an incident that In-its day shook the social fabric of the Com- | stock to its very center. Mr. Sutro leaves her $50,000 as reparation for a scandalous charge made against her at Virginia City in 1879. The affalr that led up to it t00 place in the old International Hotel Mrs. Sutro made serious charges against the woman, resulting in a personal encounter. The Sutro library, which it was thought would go to the city, will now form part of the estate.- It consists of nearly 300,000 | volumes, stored in Montgomery Block | and on Battery street. Outside of the great public libraries of Europe there is nothing to compare with it. Mr. Sutro Was a shrewd buyer and accumulated a remarkable_collection of books at ordin- ary cost.

Circuit Judge Beatty Enlightened on the Way History Is Made in California and Massa- chusetts. Before United States Circuit Judge Be- atty of Idaho yesterday a jury was im- paneled to try the suit of H. B. Hambly (assignee of N. J. Stone) against H. H. Bancroft to recover $9833 33 salary, to- gether with interest at 7 per cent and the costs. The complaint recites that on August 20, 1886, N. J. Stone and the defendant entered into a contract, whereby in con- slderation of the services rendered by Stone in taking the publication and sale | of the historical works of H. H. Ban- croft, the History Company sold to Stone one-tenth of the stock of the conpany and other property, Stone agreeing to de- vote his whole time for ten years to the publication and sale of the Baneroft his- torical works. The company contracted in addition to pay Stone a salary of $250 per month, and he was to engage in no other business, but to devote all his time and attention to the work lald out in the contract. Stone alleges that for the perfod begin- ning on April 1, 188, to August 20, 1896, the defendant refused to pay him his although he presented himself in accordance with the terms of the con- tract. The sult was brought originally in Judge Seawell's court in April, 1567, but was transferred to the United States Cir- cuit Court on June 18, 1867, on the peti- tion of Bancroft, who alleged that he was a_citizen of Massachusetts. Mr. Stone occupied the stand during the whole of the afternoon, and told the jurymen how at various times within the perlod set forth in the complaint he had demanded his salary from Mr. Bancroft and had been refused; how he had regu- larly announced himself as ready for work, and how, just as regularly, the de- fendant had refused to give him work to do. ‘An admission of the witness that he had sold a certain patent medicine on his own account during the life of the con- tract and before the filing of the com- plaint in this suit provoked some dis- cussion_between the opposing counsel. Plaintift's counsel, Messrs. Eddy and Met- son, insisted on knowing how much Stone had earned by selling the medi- clne, and_the defendant’s counsel object- ed. The latter argued that the sult was | for salary under an alleged contract; that it was tot a suit for damages for viola- tion of contract, and that, therefore, it was not material whether lie earned any- thing or nothing by selling the medi- cine. If he had violated the contract he was not entitl to recover. The case will be resumed this morning. League of the Cross. Company H, League of the Cross Ca- dets, is determined to do its share toward securing a new armory for the regiment, and just at present is making extensive arrangements for an entertainment to be glven in Metropolitan Tempie, the pro- ceeds of which will be given to the ar- mory fund. —e——————— Senator Teller of Colorado writes ahcut the dangers of the new trade | XXXI In respect to that part of the CLff| said Adolph Sutro | sealed and published as and by him | and Adolphine, both of whom are said to | in the Orient in next Sunday’s Call. 1 SOLDIERS TO 60 T0 TH GOLD FIELDS Battery A to Garrison Fort Yukon. TO KEEP PEACE IN ALASKA WILL BE ‘DISPATCHED WITH ALL POSSIBLE SPEED. It Is Said That One Company of the Sixth Regiment May Accom- pany the Expedition to the North. No time will be lost by Major General Merriam in dispatching troops to Central Alaska. He will gazette an order this morning relieving Battery A, United States Army, from duty here, with in- structions to make ready to proceed at any early day to Alaska. Lieutenant Mc- Manus will be the officer In charge. Sev- eral subordinate officers will accompany dred and ninety-three men. The full com- plement of arms wiil be taken, except, | perhaps, heavy guns, which it would be difficult if not impossible to transport. In addition there will be large quantities of supplies for the troops and such needy miners as may require assistance during the winter. It is possible that one company of the | Sixth Regiment will also be dispatched, | though this is not known to be necessary | as yet. The announcement that troops would go to Alaska, as made exclusively in the Call yesterday, aroused much speculation and interest in army circles and there was a noticeable anxiety to find out which company or companies would be designat- | ed by General Merriam for the Alaskan service. In part this curiosity Is Later developments may require an increased body of troops, either in the Copper River or Yukon districts. | “The date of starting from San Francisco | has not yet been set, but it will probably | one and much must be done In the way of | preparation.

Lieutenant McManus will, however, have a stretch of over one thousand miles of the Yukon Valley under his control. The chances are that mili- | tary law will be deciared, so as to enable him to act with the authority that the circumstances require.

RED CROSS IN PEACE AS WELL AS IN WAR Successful Meeting of the State Asso- ciation—An Address by Judge Sheldon. The opening meeting of the California Red Cross Association, held in Golden Gate Hall last evening, was largely at- tended. 5 The band of the Seventh California Regiment played the “Star-Spangled Banner,” after which Mrs. W. B. Har- rington, the president of the association, delivered a brief address of welcome and introduced Mrs. John F. Merrill, presi- dent of the San Francisco Red Cross So- clety, who sald that the object of the meeting was to give the State soclety had done. Mrs. L. L. Dunbar, secretary of the State Red Cross, thereupon delivered her report showing that there are 91 auxiliary societies in the State, and that the badge of membership is worn by 20,000 Californians.
