LONG LEGAL WAR BEGINS Shares in Investment Com pany Are Choses in Action, SUBJECT TO. PAY BEQUESTS Case Will Now Be' Appealed and Ap praised Value of Stocks Protested Against, Attorneys Alleging They're Priced Too Low. The shares of stock In the Burrell In vestment" Company, "which were sold for $40,000, and other stocks valued at $3585, are choses In action and subject to pay ment of bequests made ,by Rosa F. Burrell In her will. Judge Webster decided yes terday that the shares are not personal property and that the proceeds do not go to the children, Walter F. Burrell, Helen Burrell Voorhles and Margaret Burrell BIddle, as petitioned for by them July 18 last. This decision leaves $7C,70S In the hands of the administrator applicable to the payment of legacies amounting lo $110,700, instead of 531,222.37. which would have been the case if the court had held. In favor of the children. The question of the value of the 450 shares of stock In the Burrell Investment Company, which attorneys representing certain of the legatees, say were worth about $700,000 Instead of $40,000 at the time of the sale, will be heard by Judge Webster at the regular term of the County Court In October. Then after a final opinion has been rendered covering all of the points involved in the case, the losing side will no doubt appeal and the litigation will be prolonged for a 'Jong time to come. If the shares of stock are found to be worth much more than $40,000 there will be. money enough to pay all of the legacies aggregating about $179,000, as follows: Jerushs. Griswold, slater ..$10,000 Mrs. Olive "W. Wheeler, coualn 1,000 James Duff 1,000 Albert and Lucy "Whlttlesay, cousins. Jointly ....... 5,000 John Carlson ........... . . ...

Eliot ("to make the world better") 50,000 First Unitarian Church ' 8.000 Fountain In the Plaza 20.000 Library Association . 20,000 People's Free Reading-Room.. 2.000 Fatton Home 2,000 Baby Home 2.000 Homeopathic Hospital .. 25.000 The last six bequests are payable from the residue after the other bequests are paid. If there Is no residue they are not paid at all, and if there is not enough money to pay tho other list of bequests amounting to $110,000, these are liqui dated proportionately. The remarks of Judge Webster in pass ing upon the case were brief. He sai3: "I have concluded that within the mean ing of the instrument the term, chose in action, includes the shares of stock In the corporation and that therefore the shares of stock or their value will go to pay devisees and not tho children. "Personally, I am not much Inclined to favor the rendering of opinions by Judges of inferior courts. I do not think any thing can be gained by rendering a long opinion on them. It follows from this the the objectors have an interest in tho stock and a standing in court to present their objections. Upon that point I will hear what counsel has to say as regarding a convenient time for a hearing." W. D. Fenton, said "Wirt Minor, another attorney who is interested In the case, was out of the city and could not be back until the latter part of September. He suggested that the case be set for early In October. J. N. Teal suggested the latter part of October, and October 31 was agreed upon. COUNTEYMEN NOT SPARED. Italian Ambassador Strongly Con demns "Black Hand" Society. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. 13. The Italian Ambassador. Mayor des Planches, who Is spending the Summer here, severe ly condemns the Italian Society of the "Black Hand," of New York, engaged in blackmailing his countrymen by threats of kidnaping and death. "The kidnaping of young Mannlno," said the Ambassador, "is certainly a serious matter, but It Is nothing that con cerns the Italian Government. The mat ter rests entirely In the hands of the New York police. I believe they will catch the miscreants. When Italians leave Italy and come to this country we expect them to be good American citi zens. We like to believe that they will abide by the laws and customs of your country and commit no offense against the laws for which they will have to suffer. I condemn the fact that Italians have been engaged In kidnaping or other crimes, and If any of my countrymen have violated the laws of the United States I hope they will receive full pun ishment." Given $100 for Saving $14,000. CHICAGO, Aug. 13. Thomas Taylor, a guard on the South Side Elevated Railroad, has received a reward of $100 from the Woodlawn Bank for the re covery of a satchel containing nearly $14,000 lost on a South Side Elevated car. Tho valise Is said to have been lost by a messenger or the bank. Eight thousand dollars of Its contents was in gold and the remainder in bonds and checks. The guard, on finding the small fortune In his. car, took It Im mediately to the lost and found de partment of the company, where a few hours later a representative of the bank recovered it. Taylor was married only a week ago. Small Leak Causes Much Trouble. NEW YORK, Aug. 13. A small Assure In the rocks forming tho roof of the tunnel now being dug under East River from Battery Park to Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, has caused much ' trouble to the workmen, and -finally the water leak ing through reached a depth of six feet in one section before It could be con trolled by pumping. The leak was only a short distance from the seawall at the Battery. When It was, discovered two pumps were started, but'one broke down, allowing the water to gain rapidly. When repairs had been made the rise was quickly checked and the fissure success fully sealed. An air lock apparatus at the end of the affected section prevented the water from reaching the outer por .tlon of the tunnel and no permanent damage was done. PHILIPPINE DAY AT THE FAIR Secretary Taft Discusses the Needs of the Islands. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 13. Tho anniversary of Manila's fall was observed at the Ex position today, this being designated as "Philippine day," when for the first time distinguished American Generals and vet erans of the ' Philippine War met and mingled with their former enemies, the savage Moros and Igorrotes. Among the distinguished guests participating In the exercises of the day were Secretary of War William H. Taft; ex-Civil Governor of the Philippines; Genoral Merrltt, who received the surrender of Manila; Gen eral Charles King, General Bell, General Humphrey, General Bates, General Wheatcn, General Smith and General Metcalf. The programme opened with a military parade, which marched through the main part of the Exposition grounds, led by Secretary Taft, and concluded at the Philippine reservation, after having been reviewed by the guests of the day. Brigadier-General Irving Hale, on be half of the Army of the Philippines; President Francis of the Exposition, made a speech of welcome. Congressman Coop er, who was on tho programme to make an address, was overcome by the heat at the last moment and was unable to make his address. He was given prompt medical attention and later fully recov ered. Hon. Benito Legardo, president of the honorary board of Philippine commission ers, followed President Francis. Hon. William H. Taft, Secretary of War, was the final speaker. Secretary Taft said in part: "It Is a source of infinite satisfaction for me to look over tho 40 acres that embraces this fine exhibit and to think of the immense good that it has done and will do in making the people of the United States acquainted with the Phil ippine Islands and making the people of the Philippine Islands acquainted with the United States. I feel that the money which has been expended will inure many fold to the benefit of the Philippine Isands in the invitation which is here presented to American enterprise and American good will to aid the Filipino people In their struggle onward and up ward to a higher and more progressive civilization and prosperity. "Much Is now dependent upon legisla tion by Congress. We need the active as sistance of the Philippine government in the Islands to secure the construction of railroads that are absolutely necessary to the development of these islands, and which are absolutely necessary to the elevation of the people and their educa tion. "If the experience of the old colonies In the world In railway construction can teach anything, It Is that we may not look LCdr the 'cdriKtructlo.h' of railways in the' Philippines except through Governmental construction or aid. The bill which passed the House of Representatives authorizes the Philippine government, through the Commission, to guarantee the income, not exceeding 5 per centum on the amount actually Invested In any railway, for 30 years, but also stipulates that provision must be made In the contract of guaranty by which there shall be secured to thq government ultimately the repayment of all the money paid under .guaranty. Should the Philippine Islands be trans ferred to another government, this obli gation could, of Jourse, by the terms of the charter, be imposed on the new' gov ernment, and does not implicate or bind the United States In any way beyond the time when the Philippine government shall cease. "Secondly, the Phllpplne Islands need and will secure from Congress legislation which shall "bring the Philippine market within tho tariff wall and enable tho Philippine farmers to sell in the rich market of the United States the products of their far-distant island. "Third, we need the authority to amend the tariff laws now in force In the Phil ippine Islands so that tho lessons of ex perience In the actual operation from the tariff may be taken advantage of, and the changes made therein which shall admit to the Islands without the burden of tariff those particular articles needed es pecially In building up the country. "Recommendations have been made by a committee appointed by the Govern ment in the Philippine Islands, which did not reach this country In time to bring them before Congress at its last" ses sion, but it will bo the duty of the Gov ernment to present the recommendations of t the commission and the report of the committee at the session which is to come. We so much depend upon Congres sional action, we so much depend for tho future of the Philippine Islands upon the views of the American people, that there cannot be any doubt of the wis dom of the expenditure of a large sum of money such as Is here invested, in presenting to the American people the exact situation Jn the Islands as far as that can be done by exhibits of thi3 character." At the conclusion of the ceremonies the guests tjf honor were conducted through tho tribal villages and the day concluded with receptions. Taft Never Had Such a Thought. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 31. Secretary of War Taft tonight made tho statement to the Associated Press that he did not intimate or intend to intimate in his speech at the Exposition grounds today that the United States Government might in the future transfer the Phil ippine Islands to another power. "I had never thought of such," said he. Meets Death in Stolen Auto. NEW YORK. Aug. 13. Charles H. Rellly, employed in an automobile garage at East Orange, N. J., has been killed by the overturning of a machine which he had taken out secretly to entertain a party of friends. Rellly was nightwatch man In the garage and Invited three young men to go out for a spin. They, accepted and Rellly helped himself to a big touring car. Tho machine was run rapidly to "Vailsburg, where Rellly got onvthe wrong road and turned too sud denly. Skidding around, tho heavy car turned over and pinned the watchman underneath. He died shortly afterward and his companions were arrested on a charge of larceny, preferred by tho own er of the garage. Dowieites Baptized in Sea. LONDON, Aug. 13. Felixstowe has just had a novel experience. Thirteen people of both sexes have been baptized in the open sea there, according to the rites of Dr. Dowle's "church." An attempt was made to hire Ipswich public baths for this purpose, but they were refused, and the party then Journeyed to Felixstowe. After the baptism an address was deliv ered in the sea. TIE Portland Gives $1,000,-, 000 in Two Years. TALE OF CITY'S LIBERALITY Record' Does Not Include Church Collections. SHOWS FINANCIAL STRENGTH Relief and Entertainment Funds, Pub licity Work and Worthy Char ities All Meet With Support From Business Men. Nearly $1,000,090 during the last three and one-half years has been col lected In Portland by semi-public-subscription. The work has been done without any great effort or blare of trumpets, and demonstrates beyond the shadow of a doubt that Portland is one of the rich est and most solidly substantial cities in the world. In the work of compil ation, the revenue of several well known societies has been purposely left out because the exact figures could not be obtained at this season of the year, when cashiers and bookkeepers are at the seaside. The sum total has rather been underestimated than overesti mated. It would have been an easy task to have presented a footing of over $1,000,000. It is a matter for civic pride that the sum of $417,287 was raised In two days' time in this city for the Lewis and Clark Exposition next year. That one circumstance raised Portland's crqdit over all financial centers. There are no legacies in the $968, 016, and nothing has been borrowed from ordinary church collections, or the public tax list. It is rather a list made up of free-will offerings, for semi public service. For instance, no men tion has been made of the gift of over $25,000 by members of the Failing family to the Library Association of Portland, In October, 1900, because the sum given was not in the nature of a public subscription, but a private gift. The list also demonstrates that two deservinsr Portland institutions, thn Salvatlqp.A.rmy and St. Vincent's Hos" pital, qo nofTecfcTvu nec6Ssa"ry nnsn cial assistance in the shape of public subscriptions. They are almost for gotten in the rush along other avenues of public usefulness. In the local corps of the Salvation Army, Income does not meet expenditures, and the differ ence on the debit side of the ledger is largely made up by converts and offi cers. But all along the line, works of charity and mercy are generally sup ported by lavish and loving- hands. Among the nerve centers of business Portland is the Commercial Club, with headquarters on the top floor of the Chamber of Commerce building, now being steered to successful and abiding results by the new manager, Tom Rich ardson. It is but fair to say that the Portland Commercial Club, In addition to spending $32,000 for fixtures and furnishings during the last few years, principally within the last two years, has raised a fund exceeding $1100 per month for a period of 24 months to de fray the expenses of its business, com mercial, promotion and correspondence expenses, under the direction of an ex ecutive committee, and In charge of a manager. This is in addition to the initiation fee of 700 members at $25 per member, and monthly dues of $2.50. It can truthfully be said -that few commercial bodies' In tho United States are so liberally supported as the Port land Commercial Club. The latter has none of the duties of tho exchange. It buys or sells none of the staples, has no trading board, but has for its pur pose the upbuilding and betterment of the City of Portland, the State of Ore gon and the Pacific Northwest Other subscriptions are now being asked for new semi-public enterprises, but these are not in the list, as in cer tain cases collectors have not complet ed their work and cannot at present make a satisfactory report. Only spe cial church funds have been mentioned. There has been no attempt made to touch ordinary church revonue. The $10,000 mentioned for the entertain ment of the Ohio Congressional delega tion and tho Congress River and Har bor Committee, was originally intended to be used for the reception of Presi dent McKinley, who, It will be recalled could not visit Oregon at the time he' had indicated, on account of the Illness of Mrs. McKinley.

Members of California Commission Privately Entertained Yesterday. The members of the California Commis sion to the Lewis and Clark Fair were left to their own devices or private entertain ment during the greater part of yesterday and In the evening were given a dinner at the Arlington Club. They spent their time variously, some taking to amuse ment, one or two to golf, but the major part kept their attention on the main pur pose for which they had come, looking over the Fair project and making prelimi nary preparations for a fitting representa tion of California here -next year. The business of the journey ended yes terday and this morning at 8 o'clock the party will board the Harvest Queen for a trip to Astoria. The private cars will be sent to that point to meet them and re turning by way of Portland they will remain all night aboard the train, Jour neying homeward by the "West Side route of the Southern Pacific as far as Albany where they will be picked up by the south-bound California express. The party Is cpmposed of George C. Pardee, Gov ernor of California; "William F. Herrin, chief counsel for the Southern Pacific; C. H. .Markham, general manager of the Southern Pacific; R. P. Schwerln, vice president and general manager of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company; J. W. Byrne, president of the Pacific Union Club, of San Francisco, and Robert T. Devlin, State Senator from Sacra mento, who drafted the appropriation bill for the Lewis and Clark Fair which passed the California Legislature; Will lam Sproule, traffic manager of the Southern Pacific; Alfred Holman, pub lisher of the Sacramento Union, and J. O. Hayes, publisher of the San Jose Mer cury. Of the Informal entertainments yester day the most noteworthy were several luncheons given at the Arlington Club. W. D. Fenton entertained "William F. Herrin, Roderick Macleay entertained J. "W. Byrne and T. B. Wilcox entertained R. P. Schwerin. All these luncheons were more or less elaborate and the hosts saw to the pleasure of their guests during the rest of the day. The dinner at the Arlington Club lasted several hours and was attended by the guests, Hon. George C. Pardee, William F. Herrin, C. H. Markham, R. P. Schwerin, J. W. Byrne, Robert T. Devlin, William Sproule, Alfred . Holman, J. O. Hayes; the following members of the Lewis and Clark board: President H. W. Goode, T. B. Wilcox. A. L. Mills, W. D. Fenton, J. C. Alnsworth, A. H. Devers. K. A. J. MacKenzle, S. M. Mears and H. Wittenberg; Hon. George EL Chamber lain, Hon. George H. Williams. H. B. Dosch, John A. Wakefield, H. E. Reed, Oskar Huher, W. E. Thomas, E. D. Calvin. C. E. S. Wood, Major W. C. Langfltt, Roderick Macleay, Whitney Boise, F. V. Holman, O. Frank Paxton, H. L. Plttock, E. M. Brannlck, C. S. Jackson, W. W. Cotton, R. H. Pease, N. E. Ayer and F. H. Hopkins. In the decoration of the banquet table 'a compliment wasipald the Japanese dig ;iiit22rJefv.who haveijen; la Portland up to yesterday, but were not able io attend the banquet last night. In the center of the table there was a large Japanese um brella with streamers of cherry blossoms, the Japanese national flower. Tho other decorations were maidenhair fern and La France roses. President H. W. Goode was toastmaster and Introduced during the evening a number of speakers. All the speeches were In the nature of bouquets thrown by Ore gon at California and returned by the gallant representatives of the Southern state. Mayor Williams' threw the first bouquet and there was not a man who spoke afterwards who did not follow his lead. Governor Pardee, of California, In response to his speech of welcome, re turned the compliments. Governor Chamberlain spoke at some length on the Lewis, and Clark Exposi tion, and was followed by William F. Herrin with a speech on the present means of transportation connecting the two states of 'California and Oregon. Senator Mitchell took up the matter of transpor tation from another standpoint, that of the Panama Canal, and dwelt at length on the benefits It would bring to the whole Pacific Coast. The matter of trans portation being in the wind, R. P. Schwerin took up the steamship side of the matter and said that It was the Inten tion of the Pacific Mall Steamship Com pany to extend Its operations so that Portland, as well as all the Coast ports, should have the best service the world afforded. T. B. Wilcox spoke on the possibilities and limitations of the Oriental trade, and though he was inclined to think that some time the Japanese would be able to do more for America than America for them, on the whole the outlook for great developments in that direction was of the rosiest hue. Alfred Holman and J. O. Hayes, tho California editors, were also speakers, and William D. Fenton took up the matter of the Lewis and Clark Fair from the beginning, giving the credit of Its conception to the late Lewis B. Cox, and telling of Its growth till It took con crete form In what promises to be one of the few altogether successful exposi tions ever held. C. E. S. Wood, having been asked to speak on any subject he chose, not being limited to time or subject, made the hit of the evening with an unusual flow of clever remarks and stories. He received the greatest amount of applause and took off the dinner the curse of too great seri ousness. The California commission decided last evening that It would consider the pos sibilities of sites for the California build ing at the Fair and make a selection if possible before they leave for California Monday morning.
