considering the hard life he had led.
But excitement and dissipation seemed
to have little effect on the wiry old
man, who, until the end, thought that
he was as young- as ever and swore
that he would fool them all when they
told him he was about to die.
As a stock speculator, race-track
plunger and as a player of poker or
faro, he had an Iron nerve and won or
lost a fortune without a sign of feel
ing. Estate About $30,000,000.
Manager Unruh today gave out the
information that Baldwin's estate
amounted to about 130,000,000, with
debts of some million and a half dol
lars. Already dozens of letters and
telegrams have been received from
people in different parts of the country,
claiming relationship to Baldwin, and
.a big legal tangle will be revealed.
WON OX ALMOST EVERY PLAY
High Stakes on Turf and Table
Gained Him Soubriquet.
No man identified with horse breeding
and the racing of thoroughbreds was
more widely known throughout the coun
try than "Lucky'" Baldwin. Even the
weight of his 81 years did not suffice to
diminish his Interest in matters pertain
ing to the turf, and while horses bred by
his trainers were winning races on dis
tant tracts, the owner of the vast estate
Tear Los Angeles lived the luxurious life
of an old Spanish don, with an army of
employes and retainers, with one of the
few great racetracks of tiie country al
most at his door and with towns and set
tlements transforming the appearance of
the great domain that has become one of
the show places of Southern California.
"Lucky" Baldwin was born on a farm
six miles outside of Hamilton, 111., and on
his father's estate he acquired the taste
for fast horses that made his a familiar
figure .at many a track. During his boy
hood the family moved into Indiana, and
thence to Racine, Wis., where he en
gaged in the merchandise business. At
tracted by the tales of fortunes made and
lost in the gold fields of California. Bald
win sold out and came to San Francisco
in 1S53.
: Gains Title of "Lucky."
Almost from the first his ventures were
attended with the success that won him
the sobriquet by which he is best known
In the West. He first acquired a hotel,
which, after two weeks of management,
Jie sold for $5000. He found frequent op
portunity to Indulge his fancy for horses
when he later returned to the Kast with a
considerable fortune, and it was at Sara
toga, whilo watching the races, that he
decided to acquire a stable of his own.
Many of his earlier purchases were made
In the ring, after he had cashed a bet on
.the animal he favored. Grimstead and
Rutherford were two of his horses pur
chased in this manner.
By the time his string was com
plete he began to attract the attention
of the racing public by his long record
of victories. He won the American
Derby four times with the Emperor of
Norfolk, Silver Cloud, Volante and
Rey El Santa Anita. In Saratoga, dur
ing one season, he captured IB of the
25 stake events in which lie had en
tries. It was during this period that
his horses were ridden by Isaac Mur
phy, then as lucky a jockey as was
Baldwin among owners. On many oc
casions his commissioners wagered
and won or lost fortunes on a single
race, and one of his greatest coups
was the winning of J62.000 at long odds
on a mare called Molly.
Santa Anita Ranch Cost $200,000.
When he finally determined to settle
in California and establish a breeding
farm that was to rival the Immense
establishment of James Ben All Hag
gin, his possessions were scattered up
and down the length of the state. He
purchased the ranch at Santa Anita
for $200,000, and he built a splendid
hotel at the southern and of Lake Ta
hoe, and in San Francisco he built and
established the hotel and theater that
bore his name.' Mining ventures in Ne
vada added materially to his fortune,
and his older acquaintances include
many figures made rich and notable
through the Comstock.
Mr. Baldwin was twice married. His
first wife bore him two daughters, Mrer
Clara Stocker and Mrs. Anita Mc
Claughey, wife of the assistant post
master of San Francisco. His second
wife, wiio was Miss Bennett, is still
living.
HAD GRIM FIGHT WITH DEATH
Illness Prolonged by Determination.
Will Contest Sure.
LOS ANGELES. Cal., March 1. Elias
J. Baldwin, the famous plunger and
turfman, known throughout this coun
try and Europe as "Lucky" Baldwin,
died at his residence in Arcadia, on
the celebrated "Baldwin ranch." 15
miles from Los Angeles, at 1 o'clock
this morning. He was 81 years old.
The end came after a lingering illness
of several weeks. He passed quietly
away, surrounded by his family and
friends, after having been unconscious
most of the night. At his bedside this
morning were Mrs. Baldwin, a daugh
ter, a niece and other relatives.
The Illness, which finally resulted In
the death of Baldwin, began on Feb
ruary a. At that time he experienced
a serious sinking spell, nearly resulting
In his death. From this he Anally ral
lied and made a gallant fight for life.
Suffered, From Grippe.
Previous to this attack, however, he
had suffered for several weeks with in
fluenza, and had refused to be attended
by a physician, and when Dr. J. w.
Trueworthy, of this city, was called, on
the night of February 2, he found Bald
win much- enfeebled and in a highly
nervous condition. . The wonderful vi
tality of the aged millionaire and his
t grim determination to get on his feet
again carried him through several re
currences of the heart trouble, but he
grew weaker and less able to resist the
next one.
At the time Mr. Baldwin was first
' ' . iy - - J - f
ELI AS J.
seriously stricken. ; Mrs. Baldwin,
whom he married 23 years ago, when
she was but 16 years of age, was in
Sacramento, and did not learn of her
husband's serious condition until two
days later. She then hastened to his
bedside, and has been his almost con
stant attendant from that time until
the end.
For the greater part of the 23 years
of her married life Mrs. Baldwin has
remained in San Francisco, while Bald
win has divided his time between his
ranch at Santa Anita and the North.
Sometimes he has been at Lake Tahoe,
other times In Alaska and again In
San Francisco. He preferred Santa
Anita, however, and one of the great
est ambitions of his life was to see
the racetrack there become .lie great
est In the country.
Baldwin will be burled in San Fran
cisco, but the date of the funeral has not
been determined. A conference of rela
tives was held lasting most of the day
in reference to this and other matters.
The body will be brought to Los Angeles
and be taken probably by special train
to the place of Interment.
May Be Contest.
Little is known of the details of the will
left by the noted turfman disposing of
this amount. It is certain.however.that his
wife and daughters have been liberally
provided for, but no announcement has
been made regarding his other bequests.
Many rumors of Impending contests ,-.of
the will have been rife during Baldwin's
illness, but they have not yet appeared in
tangible form. It is reported that the
will contains a specific statement deny
ing the existence of more than one
widow, thus providing against a possible
contest from that direction.
WILL- CLOSE TRACK FOR DAY
Santa Anitu to Be Quiet When Raid
win's Funeral Is Held.
LOS ANGELES, March l.-Out of re- i
spect to the memory of Baldwin, the Los
Angeles Racing Association will close its I
racetrack at Santa Anita Park the dav j wl" ou tlle example of J. E. Cava

by Dr. Gardner, manager of the track. acned the boxes shipped to Davenport.
this afternoon. i
"We would have closed today," said
Dr. Girdner, "but Mr. Baldwin passed
away at such" an hour as to make it im
possible for us to stop racing today."
BROKEN BONES SAVE TRAIN
WRECK OF SIGNALMAN'S TRI
CYCLIC BETRAYS PLOT.
Attempt of Practical Jtkcrs to De
rail Express- Foiled One
Suspect Caught.
DENVER. March 1. By the severe in
Jury of one man late seeterday evening
l near Elyria, Colo., death and injury to
many others was probably avoided. A
large piece of iron had been placed on the
tracks of the Union Pacific Railroad Just
beyond the yard limits at Elyria. with
the- evident intention of wrecking the
Cheyenne Flyer from the north and west,
but the obstruction was discovered by a
signalman, whose railway tricycle was
wrecked, ten minutes before the passen
ger train was due. The signalman was
severely hurt, but he removed the ob
struction and reported the attempted
wreck.
A 17-year-old hoy of Elyria. whose name
has teen withheld, was arrested, and
other arrests are looked for. The attempt
is said to be one of several that have been
discovered since last Thankpgivrng. and
railroad detectives are of the opinion that
they are the work of young men whose
principal idea wa that of playing a prac
tical Joke.
REFUGEES GETTING HOUSED
Work of Building: Cabins Proves

purchased with American money to shel
ter the earthquake survivors. Is progres
sing favorably under the direction of
Lieutenant-Commander Reginald Pierre
Belknap, the American attache at Ber

horses has made the transportation of
lumber from the docks to the point of
erection both slow and expensive; it costs
$4000 to deliver enough lumber to build
BOO houses.
It has been decided to build 1000 houses
at Messina. 1000 at Rggio and 100 at the
settlement called Regina Elena, the vil

Denies Attempt to Corner.
In an Interview James A. Patten de
nied he Is trying to corner the wheat
market, and says there is no man or
group of men, however strongly they
may be backed financially, who can
corner the market.
"All the cash wheat I owj is here in
Chlca-jo elevators." he said. "I am sell
ing it everyday to the mills. I do not
control the cash wheat for there are 14 -
ono.OOO bushels of it in the mills of the '
Northwest. I have simply followed the 1
mantei ana nave nothing to do with
making the price. That is controlled by
the law of supply and demand.
"I have bought wheat because I beiieve
the supply is far below the demand and
I still think so. The crop In Argentina
is estimated to be 50.000.000 .bushels short
and the experts in Europe in whom 1
have most confidence estimate the mar
kets there will need 60.000.000 bushels more
than they will be able to get."
Mr. Patten denied he knew anything
about real or paper losses sustained by
certain New York sports.

WOULD AFFECT THOUSANDS
Brown's Claims for Accounting and
Division of Surplus Held by
Insurance Company
Are Void.
WASHINGTON, March 1. The Su
preme v.ourt of the United States re
versed today the decision of the United
States Court of Appeals for the Second
District, directing the Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York to
hear the case of J. Wilcox Brown vs.
the Equitable Assurance Society, involv
ing charges of mismanagement.
Justice Peckham, who announced to
day's decision, said the court had con
cluded that there was no cause for Mr.
Brown's action and held that he was
entitled neither to an accounting nor to
the appointment of a receiver.
Mr. Brown claimed to represent himself
and 6000 other policyholders. He asked
for the appointment of a receiver and a
general accounting, alleging that all the
policyholders were entitled to participate
in the division of the surplus. He con
tended that the distribution of profits
had not been as extensive as it should be.
He charged that $10,000,000 more than wan
necessary had been retained In the
treasury and that the maintenance of so
large . a sum there had resulted In ex
travagant salaries and other wasteful
expenditures. .
. The Circuit Court dismissed the bill
on a demurrer, but the Court of Appeals
held that, as the bill alleged fraud, the
company must make answer and allow
the case to be decided on its merits.
In the course of his opinion. Justice
Peckham considered the effect of a de
cision along the . lines of Mr. Brown's
contention, saying:
"Even if a court of equity had Jurisdic
tion we must cot.oider the result of a de
cree in accordance with Mr. Brown's
complaint. The corporation is one of
the largest in the world, with more than
half a million policyholders, with almost
incalculable outstanding risks and as-
mm uamiiues ana surplus reach
ing into hundreds of millions.
"To place the Institution in the hands
of a receiver while it is paying promptly
all of its obligations and with undoubt
ed resources to continue to pay them,
and Is daily engaged in taking new busi
ness under a different management,
would be a premature and wholly un
necessary ending of the defendant and
one which It would be mild to charac
terize as ruinous to the Interests of hun
dreds of thousands of people and really
beneficial to none."

Movement Started to Relieve Needs
of Woman and Her Four
Small Children.
