HER LIN", March 30. Frati Johanna Brand, widow of a Berlin Joiner, has been adjudged entitled to a fortune now amounting to 112.500.000 left by two brothers of the same name, who died In Holland about a century ago. There Is. however, some doubt as to where the money Is now located. On the death of the second of the two testators the papers connected with the estate were sent to their native place, llalberstadt. but no living relations could be found. Subsequently It was discovered that the family had moved to Aschersleben and the papers were dispatched thither. There the search for the legatees was equally unavail ing. At that time a llerr Pholto Douglas. descendant of one of those many Scots men of good family who In troubled times migrated to the Continent, was burgomaster of Aschersleben and the claimant alleges that his son, who has been ennobled, with the title of Count o hoi to von Douglas. Is In possession both of the testaments and of the for tune Itself. Indeed, he and his son are said to have admitted as much. The Court has ordered that the count shall be questioned on oath as to the where abouts of the papers and on the result ft this examination it will depend whether the carpenter's widow gets 'what have been recognised to be her legal rights. w Stransa Opera.

The troops will march from day to day under actual war conditions until contact Is had an the contact problem carried out. "All heavy baggage ulll be left at home. Shelter tents only will be taken. Equipment will be exactly that car ried In war. "The troops will bivouac in shelter tents, each night In a new position, and In this particular the experience will b entirely new to the Guardsman, since In former years he has been held In one camp under large tentage, marching out for daily maneuvers, but returning each nlht to the same place. 2V Hardships Foresee. "As these maneuvers will take place in July a pleasant month and In a good country. It Is not believed that any hardship will result to anyone by this reduction and actual stripping for service In time of war.

Patrolling, scouting and gaining information In every possible manner will be carried out to their full extent.

MOTHERS WANT PENSIONS French Senate Asked to Allow I Per Year Per Child. PARIS. March " 30. (Special.) French mothers want a Legion of Honor for themselves. A petition to that effect has been laid before the Senate, and M. Reynald was commis sioned to report upon It. He now de clares that he finds the petition very Interesting. French mothers demand a pension for each child they bring up. When a mother has eight children she Is to receive a medal corresponding to the medaille milltaire granted In rec ognition of valor, and equivalent to the V. C The French mothers who bring up eight children ask for the badge of courage, and M. Reynald, the Senator, approves them, but he cannot hit upon a name for the new legion. The enate is to be left to choose the title. The pension claimed for brave mothers Is not exorbitant. It Is to be only 14 a year per child. "We com mend their moderation," adds Senator Reynald, and as spokesman of the com mittee he proposes the scheme to tho Ministry of the Interior, with a strong recommendation for approval. LISTRAC SMUGGLED ARMS Steamer's Cargo Discovered Hidden r - in Mirror Packing. BERLIN. March 30. (Special.) tt now turns out that besides the 250,000 cartridges which were landed at Dun kirk. France, for transhipment to Oran. in Algeria, the steamer Listrac was carrying 160 Mannlicher rifles and the same number of bayonets. These were discovered the other afternoon on board the ship by the official who was veri fying the cargo. The arms were clever ly packed In wooden frames which con tained a quantity of straw, and were represented as holding mirrors. They have all been confiscated by the French customs authorities, who have sent them to a local fort, whliher they had been preceded only a few hours before by the ammunition. The Listrac is a' French vessel, and had taken the cargo- In at Hamburg; and neither Its officers nor the agents to whom the goods were consigned for transhipment had the faintest Idea that anything was wrong. t is thought that the arms were Intended for the Spaniards or the Moors.

MERGER ALREADY MADE People Talk of $6,000,000 Bond Isftne to Acquire Homo Com pany, Recently Sold to Com petitor for $9,000,000. SAX FRANCISCO, March 30. (Spe cial.) By a vote of two to one tlw citizens of San Francisco have declared in favor of the public ownership of the Home Telephone Company and against the proposed merger of the Home Company with the Pacific Com pany. More than 30,000 voters went touay to the polls to register their sentiment ou two questions the first, to approve or disapprove the telephone iitTj;LT. which, as a matter of fact, has already been completed, and second, -to au thorize a special election to vote $o. 000,000 bonds for the purchase of the Home Company by the city. The exact vote was 31.S6S, less than 30 per cent of the registered vote of the city. On the first proposition the vote was 21,174 In favo and 10,353 against. Only a majority vote was necessary, but more than two-thirds of the vote cast was In favor of denying the merger. Klcctioa Is Authorized. On the second proposition the vote fell a trifle short of the two-thirds which would have been necessary had the city been voting directly to pur chase the Home plant, instead of to call an election on that question. The exact vote was 2U.5UI) for and 10,055 against- A majority vote was all that was necessary. It Is the opinion of City Attorney Long that the ordinances calling the election were so loosely drawn as to invalidate the entire result. Tin; only thing secured by the election and thj expenditure of the $35,000 that the election cost the city was an expres sion of opinion from 30 per cent o the electorate on public ownership of tele phones. "If the people wish to make these ordinances effective they will have to hold the election all over again and the ordinances 'i-lll have to be written In conformity with the law," said City Attorney Long. "Neither ordinance complies with the charter requirements and both ordinances aro clearly invalid. "Under the Initiative clause of the charter, the people have the risht to adopt any laws that the Supervisors have the right to adopt. These tele phone ordinances would have been in valid If adopted by the Supervisors, and they are do less invalid because of having been adopted by the people." Previous Sale Questioned. The second provision on the ballot to day calls for -tu election- to approve the Issuance of 16,000.000 in bomls to acquire the Home plant, yet the Home Company recently sold to the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company for 39.000,000. The legality of that sale is being questioned in the courts, the entire situation being in a muddle, say law yers. When the hearing of the application for a restraining order against the merging of the two companies was called before Superior Court Judge Lawlor this morning-. It was post poned untl Wednesday afternoon In order that the Supervisors may have time to consider what action to take on behalf of the city. McGoorty to Fight Pelroskey. OAKLAND, March 3u.

Just as the New York East Side has Us own drama differing from any other, so it has its own school of dramatists and its own school of criticism. Jacob Gordin has been dead and gone several years; but those who followed in his footsteps have followed literally, find ing in his plays models for theirs, even though none of them has yet been aflle to approach his work in its literary excellence. Gordin nearly always undertook to compare the patriarchal system of Jew ish family life of the Old World with the freer family lite of the younger generations; and he did it with a deft ness and a sympathy and an under standing that made his name and his works live after him.
