Savage has appealed the case. Boardman's estate was valued at $1,250,000. The alleged wills will considered in; the. probate department of the su- perior 'court January 4." " Their filing was due to a desire to comply with the law. directing all pur- ported wills to be rejected by the court before the administrator can take active charge of the distribution of the estate. One directed, the formation of the Boardman scientific association from the estate: the other ordered th* estate kept in close custody for 20 years.. /In b^oth instances the eccentric millionaire considered an income of $130 a month for his wife and $10 a month for his infant daughter to be sufficient. . The. wills were written In the sum- mer of 1903, at a time wnen Boardman was generally considered incompetent and. when he -had a mania for writing wills. One of the documents is not signed, while the other bears his sig- nature, but neither can be regarded as a properly authenticated will, accord- ing to Fitzgerald. \u25a0 .—. — OAKLAND.

Dee. 26.— Tobacco as good as the finest North Carolina leaf has been grown on the university cam- pus,, and Prof. W. A. Setchell. head of the department of botany, 13 engaged in a series of experiments to deter- mine the economic value of the leaf. Tobacco planting In the campus botanical gardens began hero several years "ago, but the tests were not as satisfactory as possible, owing to pres- sure of other work in the department. I A new leaf, has been tried, however, land from the advance reports, has been satisfactory in every particular. ' The tobacco produced has been of excellent \ flavor and compares well with the '. Turkish and native varieties. Botanical experimentation also has , received additional Impetus by the in- terest which Prof. Hugo de Vries. tt»e eminent authority of the University^ m \u25a0 Amsterdam, has taken In the work'foit the university scientists since he j taught at the summer session of the j university three years ago. He has [mailed to Professor Setchell mutants lof oeonthera lamarckiana, the poly- rcephalic .poppy and the five leafed clover, which have been planted here with. considerable success. . . Professor de Vries is an admirer of Professor Setchell, who waa instru- mental In bringing him to this coast to teach at the summer session. There is considerable likelihood that he can be prevailed to upon to come her© next year, as California flora with lta mag- nificent field has proven very attractive to the European scientist.

Lascrlles.' thinking it was in honor of the emperor — the music of the Prussian anthem is the same as ours— told his coachman to stop, and rose in the carriage. As long as heremained standing the faithful band" continued to play, 'and as long as the band played he remained standing; with the result that the tune .was played several times over, and had attained the speed! of a gallop, when the "emperor grasped the situation and stopped l the. music.^W'estminster Ga- zette."* : ' \u25a0 --' The increase of nearly 50 per cent, in the speed at "which; the national an- them is in future to be played by mil- itary'bands, as "ordered this week by the army council, recalls, an ."amusing incident in Germany.

Being Rendered Ambassador Would Not Move While National Anthem Was KAISER HAD TO STOP THE BAND FROM PLAYING The automobile, with the entire front smashed in and the engine wrecked, was removed on a dray this morning. The machine is a seven passenger 60 horsepower Thomas Flyer. Picked up from the wreckage of the automobile, Gross and McKiernan when finally taken to the receiving hospital, were found- to be suffering from minor bruises, which when dressed allowed them to go home unassisted. Frank Petti, a bar keeper, who was Kanela's first passenger on the wild ride and was with him when McKier- nan and Gross were picked up," sus- tained a bad fracture of the right thigh in. the wreck, but his condition was re- garded as favorable tonight. . Kanela's scalp was so badly torn that a minute inspection was made to determine whether he had a» fracture of the skull. That he escaped a frac- ture was considered remarkable. He was removed. to' Providence hospital. The Reillys were taken home Imme- diately after being knocked down In Kanela's. rush. across the city. Reilly telephoned to his home for his own automobile. Both were badly* cut and bruised. A second later, when witnesses said fhat Kanela was speeding his machine up to 60 miles an hour, the pair saw. the heavy auto In which they rode plunge against the side of the third coach of a Southern Pacific train-cross- ing I Broadway.' A remarkable feature of the accident were the hearbreadth escapes from in- jury by Alfred Gross, a cousin of City Auditor George Gross, and Matthew McKiernan of 1349 Eighteenth street. Hurled from their seats by a slight collision in the fog between two street- cars at Sixteenth street and San Pablo avenue, .Kanela picked the two up in his automobile and started to rush them to. the 'receiving hospital. At Eighth street and Broadway, Gross and McKiernan saw J. H. Reilly and his wife of 210S Shattuck avenue knocked down and brushed aside by the car. . / - .5^. KLAND .'"

COL'VrV; PAYS DOUBhIS HATES , Tfaat Malley was not only busy In his r unique way about thecounty buildings in lower. Broadway, but also at- the county Infirmary, Is shown by the following summary: • Malley, for instance, asked $128 for covering steam pipes with asbestos; in the sheriff's garage. Meyers was ; un- able to calculate this per; running foot owing to lack of detail, but mentioned that lie had all the asbestos covering for e team pipes in an eight story build- ing contracted . for*at %180. . His report and testimony given be- fore the grand jury showed F. T. Mal- lcy as the person who had shared most profitably in the long continued .raids on the treasury. Malley's prices, for raw. material showed that his profits 'jad amounted from 50 per cent -up to 100 per cent even on a. computative basis which allowed him 26 per cent profit as fair and gave him the best of every doubt about 'material, con- ditions and prices. \u25a0OVERCHARGE: .FOR REPAIRS Meyers secured a list of prices for ] umber since the earthquake In which every fluctuation of that commodity was shown. Prices for lumber were •rhockod against these figures accord- ing to the date of the bill, affording an absolutely fair test. In the course of Hs investigation the prand Jury referred bills for the years 1507 and 1908 to Henry H. Meyers, an architect and consulting engineer liv- ing In Alameda. lie was directed to make an impartial "study of the claims. Going farther, the grand Jury has not only diagnosed the disease from which the body politic of Alameda county ha,s been suffering for rears In the. line of petty' grafting, but has outlined a course of treatment and a remedy. The ultimate fight for redemption will be made at Sacramento, where the condi- tions which made possible the sicken- ing graft were created. UKVEALS TREASURY RAIDS .Statistics furnished and conclusions arrived at after a painstaking investi- gation by experts leave the old county ring no loophole in which to hide to' ronceal their shame. As betrayers of the trust which they held for the popple of Alameda county, their par- ticipation, active or passive. In a shameless robbery of the public treas- ury is now a part of the official records of the county. Contractors who lied in their bills and laborers who padded their labor accounts are joined as guilty parties with supervisors who stood in and those who merely looked the other way. The system by which thf "thing was worked was shown In frill detail. O*AKLAXD, Dec. 26. — Charges of legalized graft and laxity oh the part of the board of superisors along the line of "repairs" to county buildings, -vhich The Call has pressed for more, that a year, were shown to be under- sraftements rather than overstatements of existing conditions by a partial re- port submitted by the Bendel grand jury today. :vo i.ooiMioi.r: left "District Attorney "\V. 11.

Sabln Jr., the expert of the board of supervisors. From the evi- dence before the grand Jury, It appears that when repair work is needed on any •of the county buildings, a requisition Is submitted The grand Jury hare Tery carefully in- vestigated the matter of repairs ' to county buildings. In the fiscal year, ending June 30. 1907, the repairs and improvements to the county Jail, the courthouse, the hall of records and receiving hospital, amounted ' to $22,347.52. , In the fiscal year ending June SO, 190 S. the repairs and additions to the county Jail, courthouse, hall of records and receiving hospital, amounting to $22,045.92. Kepairs and additions to- the. county Jail, courthouse, hall of records and receiving hospital from July 1, 190S, to Nov- vemb«r 25. 190S. amounted to $10,114.04. These figures do not Include new buildings. XO CHECK OX GRAFT The report of the grand Jury says: District Attorney Donahue stated to Judge Ogden today that no court ac- tion would be required on behalf of the report, as he was certain that the presentation of a. copy would be fol- lowed by great changes in the methods of the board of supervisors. The Jenkins fixture company also grossly overcharged in furnishing fix- tures for the county courthouse when that ancient building was wired this summer. These items are only a few of hundreds cited. by Expert Meyers. E. F. Voorhles wag a painter who sold the county $2 shellac at double that sum. MKAAS CHAAGE I.V METHODS .' In" one instance the contractors for- got themselves- and included items which allowed Meyers to estimate .that all grades of work in the -construction of the sheriff's garage cost" the county an average of £7}£ cents an' hour, ex- clusive of the price of material. Another Item was for $6.50 when Meyers considered $2.60 a liberal amount. $10 against Meyers* estimate of $7.20 and $2.50 for 65 cents, sub- mitted by this concern. The Oakland electrical company shared extensively also. It charged $3.10 for material which should have cost the county 85 cents. E. J. Sullivan, a plumber, .was criti- cised as charging 1 exorbitant prices for work about the buildings. George E. Hartman, an electrical worker, charged $2.25 for stuff which could be pur- chased for 38 cents. addition to a labor cost taxed against the county, which, owing to the sys- tem, became impossible to compute.

William Savage of San Franciscofiled a similar will for probate, butJudge Waste declared the documentthe product, of an unsound mind andrejected It. Savage has appealed thecase. Boardman's estate was valuedat $1,250,000.

The alleged wills will consideredin;the. probate department of the su-perior 'court January 4."

"Their filing was due to a desire to

comply with the law. directing all pur-ported wills to be rejected by the courtbefore the administrator can takeactive charge of the distribution of theestate.

One directed, the formation of theBoardman scientific association fromthe estate: the other ordered th* estatekept in close custody for 20 years.. /Inb^oth instances the eccentric millionaireconsidered an income of $130 a monthfor his wife and $10 a month for hisinfant daughter to be sufficient.

. The. wills were written In the sum-mer of 1903, at a time wnen Boardmanwas generally considered incompetentand. when he -had a mania for writingwills. One of the documents is notsigned, while the other bears his sig-nature, but neither can be regarded asa properly authenticated will,accord-ing to Fitzgerald.

Picked up from the wreckage of theautomobile, Gross and McKiernan whenfinally taken to the receiving hospital,were found- to be suffering from minorbruises, which when dressed allowedthem to go home unassisted.

Frank Petti, a bar keeper, who wasKanela's first passenger on the wildride and was with him when McKier-nan and Gross were picked up," sus-tained a bad fracture of the right thighin.the wreck, but his condition was re-garded as favorable tonight..Kanela's scalp was so badly tornthat a minute inspection was made todetermine whether he had a» fractureof the skull. That he escaped a frac-ture was considered remarkable. Hewas removed. to'Providence hospital.

The Reillys were taken home Imme-diately after being knocked down InKanela's. rush. across the city. Reillytelephoned to his home for his ownautomobile. Both were badly*cut andbruised.

A second later, when witnesses saidfhat Kanela was speeding his machineup to 60 miles an hour, the pair saw.the heavy auto In which they rodeplunge against the side of the thirdcoach of a Southern Pacific train-cross-ingIBroadway.'

, Tfaat Malley was not only busy Inhisr unique way about thecounty buildings

in lower. Broadway, but alsoat- the county Infirmary, Is shown bythe following summary: •

Malley, for instance, asked $128 forcovering steam pipes with asbestos; inthe sheriff's garage. Meyers was ;un-able to calculate this per; running footowing to lack of detail, but mentionedthat lie had all the asbestos coveringfor eteam pipes in an eight story build-ing contracted . for*at %180. .

His report and testimony given be-fore the grand jury showed F. T. Mal-lcy as the person who had shared mostprofitably in the long continued .raidson the treasury. Malley's prices, forraw. material showed that his profits'jad amounted from 50 per cent -up to100 per cent even on a. computativebasis which allowed him 26 per centprofit as fair and gave him the bestof every doubt about 'material, con-ditions and prices.

\u25a0OVERCHARGE: .FOR REPAIRS

Meyers secured a list of prices for]umber since the earthquake In whichevery fluctuation of that commoditywas shown. Prices for lumber were

•rhockod against these figures accord-ing to the date of the bill, affordingan absolutely fair test.

In the course of Hs investigation theprand Jury referred bills for the years1507 and 1908 to Henry H. Meyers, anarchitect and consulting engineer liv-ing In Alameda. lie was directed tomake an impartial"study of the claims.

Going farther, the grand Jury has notonly diagnosed the disease from whichthe body politic of Alameda county ha,sbeen suffering for rears In the. line ofpetty' grafting, but has outlined acourse of treatment and a remedy. Theultimate fight for redemption will bemade at Sacramento, where the condi-tions which made possible the sicken-ing graft were created.UKVEALS TREASURY RAIDS

.Statistics furnished and conclusionsarrived at after a painstaking investi-gation by experts leave the old countyring no loophole in which to hide to'ronceal their shame. As betrayers ofthe trust which they held for thepopple of Alameda county, their par-ticipation, active or passive. In ashameless robbery of the public treas-ury is now a part of the official recordsof the county. Contractors who liedin their bills and laborers who paddedtheir labor accounts are joined asguilty parties with supervisors whostood in and those who merely lookedthe other way. The system by whichthf "thing was worked was shown Infrill detail.

The grand Jury had submitted to It all ofthe bllis and voucher* for the work andXor the periods above referred to, and heardthe evidence of John M. Sabln Jr., the expertof the board of supervisors. From the evi-dence before the grand Jury, It appears thatwhen repair work is needed on any •of thecounty buildings, a requisition Is submitted

The grand Jury hare Tery carefully in-vestigated the matter of repairs 'to countybuildings. In the fiscal year, ending June30. 1907, the repairs and improvements tothe county Jail, the courthouse, the hall ofrecords and receiving hospital, amounted

'to

$22,347.52. ,In the fiscal year ending JuneSO, 190S. the repairs and additions to thecounty Jail, courthouse, hall of records andreceiving hospital, amounting to $22,045.92.Kepairs and additions to- the. county Jail,courthouse, hall of records and receivinghospital from July 1, 190S, to Nov-vemb«r 25. 190S. amounted to $10,114.04.These figures do not Include new buildings.

XO CHECK OX GRAFT

The report of the grand Jury says:

District Attorney Donahue stated toJudge Ogden today that no court ac-tion would be required on behalf of thereport, as he was certain that thepresentation of a.copy would be fol-lowed by great changes in the methodsof the board of supervisors.

The Jenkins fixture company alsogrossly overcharged in furnishing fix-tures for the county courthouse whenthat ancient building was wired thissummer. These items are only a fewof hundreds cited. by Expert Meyers.

E. F. Voorhles wag a painter whosold the county $2 shellac at doublethat sum.MKAAS CHAAGE I.V METHODS

.' In" one instance the contractors for-got themselves- and included itemswhich allowed Meyers to estimate .thatall grades of work in the -constructionof the sheriff's garage cost" the countyan average of £7}£ cents an' hour, ex-clusive of the price of material.

Another Item was for $6.50 whenMeyers considered $2.60 a liberalamount. $10 against Meyers* estimateof $7.20 and $2.50 for 65 cents, sub-mitted by this concern.

The Oakland electrical companyshared extensively also. It charged$3.10 for material which should havecost the county 85 cents.

E. J. Sullivan, a plumber, .was criti-cised as charging1 exorbitant prices forwork about the buildings. George E.Hartman, an electrical worker, charged$2.25 for stuff which could be pur-chased for 38 cents.

addition to a labor cost taxed againstthe county, which, owing to the sys-tem, became impossible to compute.I*.
