that they will have to recede from

WIDOW AWARDED FORTUNE
Money I.eft by Brothers Centnry Ago
.May Not Be Pound.
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.

vision Working Together.
SEATTLK. Wash.. March 30. (Spe
cial.) Through the courtesy of Gen
eral Maus. U. S. A., commanding the
Department of the Columbia. the
regular Army maneuvers of the Na
tional Guard have been so arranged as
to terminate July 19 In Urn for the
troops to participate in the Golden
Potlatch military and naval parade in
Seattle on that day.
The 'troops, tunned and hardened
from two necks of campaigning, will
appear as they would In war with the
glitter and the gold lace missing.
Adjutant-General Fred Llewellyn to
day announced that the Joint ma
neuvers, to be participated In by Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho next Sum
mer will be the most elaborate ever
held on the Paci tie' Coast.
Attack Seattle Plaaaed.
"The general plan," said Mr.
Llewellyn." will be for an attack on
Seattle bv an army landing at Grays
Harbor. The participating troops will
be divided Into two opposing armies,
one to march from Grays Harbor to the
attack and the other to assemble at
the Gate and maneuver . toward the
harbor on the defensive. 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. The lessons
learned will be practical, the move
ments from day to day will embody the
vigilance, forethought and manner 'of
conducting marches under warlike
conditions. Patrolling, scouting and
gaining information In every possible
manner will be carried out to their full
extent.
"The general control of all details
and arrangements in connection with
the movement Is In the bands of Brigadier-General
Maus. commanding the
Department of the Columbia."

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.

Preliminary Election in San
Francisco, Though Illegal,
' Shows Sentiment.
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.
