HONOR FOR MEN WHO HAVE MADE HISTORY Statues to Be Placed in Capitol ? SELECTION OF SUBJECTS DISCUSSED inent citizens of California i eered eagerly at the past yesterday in an attempt to decide who among plo- i »era are entitled to be considered the ? two most eminent Californians. Events : ng past, fraught with picturesqueness .nd with significance, again became j Cor students of the glowing pages ' of California history. Junipero Serra again established mis- [ sions and Portala sought the bay of j San Francisco. Huntington was a gl- I gantic living intellect at the head of j the first railway to traverse the Sler- 'l as and span the North American con- tinent. Stanford once more, lamenting j the death of his son, founded the glo-j :ious institution of learning at Palo' Alto that bears his name, assisted by his wife. James Marshall picked up from the Coloma millrace the nuggets destined to bring the hardy and bril- liant men of all the American States . and many other lands to the Sierran river channels in search of fortunes. Sutter determined the reality of gold j In the Marshall nuggets. With crack of pistol shots and the j ' hum of angry voices once more the | vigilantes, headed by William T. Cole- j man, assembled. They hanged Casey \u25a0 and revenged the death of James King Of William anew. Senator Broderick, and William M. Gwin. his colleague in tIM United States Senate from Califor- ; nla. were remembered. The fiery elo- . quence of Baker, early Californian. who fell for his country at Balls Bluff, orxce again made music in the ears of those who in the earlier days eagerly ? listened to his words while all the land \\ as disturbed by the angry debates .hat immediately preceded the* great " civil struggle. The rattle of guns was -mingled with the ringing of the mission bells. History, the wonderfully roman- " tic history of California, was in review. Two Californians who have passed from life will be given lasting fame in the rotunda of the National Capitol at, Washington, D. C. The law entitles each State of the Union to have two statues of bronze or marble in the huge Federal building. The California Legis- lature at the present session will de- ; ide which two of its citizens shall be mortalized. It is of interest to all dwellers in this State that the best pos- sible choice shall be made. JUDGE BEATTY S OPINION. Chief Justice Beany when he wu asked for an opinion yesterday desig- '< nating the two men whose services en- 1 titled them to be considered pre- eminent looked up with surprise, for the request embodied the necessity for immediately placing in critical review 1 the events of two centuries In this State. He removed his glasses and j with a quizzical look said: "The case is taken under advisement! for ninety days." Chief Justice Beatty's first choice is : . Colonel Baker. He was a patriot in , peace. He proved his devotion to his 1 ? country by laying down his life for it. Ia part Justice Beatty said: I have Mill heard the equal of Baker for 'Ucuenee. His literary taste was exquisite. He was distinguished for eloquence and scholarship, for gallantry and patriotism. It is tru* that he went from California to Oregon and was elected United States Senator from Oregon. It Is also true that he was a citizen of Illinois he fought in the Mexican war. But he has been claimed and is claimed hv California. He was a handsome man and hid statue would look well. Padre Juniporo Serra waa a pioneer. He ir.ight be commemorated if it is possible to u-t an authentic picture of him as a guide foe a statue. But even if there is no authentic picture an artist, a true artist, perceiving the spirit of the man and the significance of the occasion, could do much toward making a i ti-factory portraiture. Serra and Baker weald do very well. Attorney *E. S. Plllsbury was asked to make his selection of two Califor- nians who have performed the most eminent service for the State. "Ah," said Pillsbury, "that is a very large question. I would not care to commit myself offhand. I will say that Pro- fessor Joseph Lie Conte is worth con- sidering, and Baker deserving. I am: going East to-morrow and have not the time that I would require to think the matter over carefuly and fully." Even more impressed with the inter- esting inquiry was Attorney Horace G. Piatt. He listened attentively to a statement relative to the historical duty that is about to devolve upon the Cali- fornia Legislature and promised to con- sider the matter, but he could not make any answer at once. EX-MAYOR POND'S CHOICE. E. B. Pond, formerly Mayor of San Francisco, president of the San Fran- cisco Savings Union and connected widely with many interests in Califor- nia, was also interested intensely, but found that there had been so many his- torical persons in this State deserving of fame that he was unable to choose at once. Padre Serra and James Marshall were the choice of ex-Congressman S. D. Woods. "California could not have had Its present history in the absence of either," said Mr. Woods. Henry Payot introduced the name of William C. Broderick, United States Senator from California. He also fa- vored William T. Coleman because Coleman was the president of the vigilance committee that hanged Casey for the murder of James King of Wil- liam, the earliest editor of the San Francisco Bulletin. ' Coleman and King." said Payot, "strove nobly to purify the atmosphere of public life in San Francisco, and their example was salutary for all Cal- ifornia. They were makers of history." Congressman Julius Kahn said promptly and without hesitation that Junipero Serra and the Rev. Starr King were his choices. "Serra was the pioneer of civilization for California. Where he placed missions there are thriving California towns and cities to- day, and their names commemorate his deeds and sagacity. Starr King by his eloquence saved California to the Un- ion." J. A. Filcher, California commissioner to the St. Louis Exposition, said that his choice rested on United States Sen- Lash's Kidney and Liver Bitters re- moves uric acid from the system by dis- solving the uric acid formation. ? -r r ator William M. Gwln, the colleague of Senator David C. Broderick, and on Starr King. 'Gwln was a strong and loyal advocate of the interests of Cali- fornia in the United States Senate. King made sentiment for loyalty to the Union and for higher life in Califor- nia." Wlllard B. Harrington said that he regards Collis P. Huntington as the greatest of all Californians, inasmuch as his gigantic work was accomplished in the face of tremendous difficulties, and the result brought California into touch by rail with the other States of the Union. Junipero Serra was cer- tainly entitled to be remembered. GADSKI CHARMS AS DOES HEINK Shows in Sopratno Field the 'Same Magic Other Queen Has as World's Contralto Last night at the Alhambra Madame Gadski fulfilled all the large promise of her singing with the Metropolitan Opera Company here three years ago. Three years ago she represented a splendid promise and a problem. To- day the promise is fulfilled and the problem solved. Three years from now may find Gadski another Schumann- Heink?at the soprano end of the song ?than which I can find nothing nobler to say of her. Schumann-Heink herself, for the gripping, human quality of the thing, might have been at the singing of the Franz "Aus meinen grossen Schmer- zen." The song had the same grace of seeming to flower into sound for the first time for you?of coming directly from the producer to the consumer, as the economists would say. So also, as singing itself, came the "Die Haide ist braun." One was rather proud of the audience here. Gadski herself, too, did the exquisitely right thing. The two songs, perhaps best sung of the whole programme from the sheerly human (and that is from the highest) side, drew an admirably appreciative enthu- siasm. Gadski, in her serene and gra- cious fashion, repeated both, and sang both the second time with the full de- light of him who sings unafraid to the understanding heart. One was glad to be there for the charming Tightness of the whole incident. The whole programme was a compli- ment to the audience. Schumann. Schubert, Mo*art, Franz, Beethoven, Jensen, Weber, at their best, were the composers represented. One finds Gad- ski this season doing altogether the de- sirable thing. She even looks the part as by an important something she did not look the prima donna when she was here before! Last night, fair, stately, gracious and even beautiful, as she stood there, sometimes leaning lightly against the piano, Mme. Gadski was just as charming to see as to hear. I ventured to predict that in three years the singer might be the soprano Schumann-Heink. She is not that yet, quite. She has moments of conscious- ness of the prima donna, a little pride of artistry. Site has not. yet fiung her- self wholly free of herself to plunge into the heart of the song, that is only at the flood of her impulse. But because she does at these moments lift to the ninth wave of song-making, one feels that Gadski may yet do for the soprano repertoire what Schumann- Heink has done for the contralto. She has time. Comparatively, Gadski is a young singer. She has yet ten years in which to reach the song mother as we found her last year. And Gadski is admirably artistic and entirely distinguished. Her scope is that of the greatest singers. She is as surely at home in the simplicities of the lieder as in the heroics of the music-drama. She sings Schubert as well as she sings Wagner; "Aus meinen grossen" as well as Mozart In the "Nozze di Figaro." Her phrase, nuance, "execution," are all particular pleasures. I remember no one with a more splendidly made crescendo. Vo- cally one feels the desire for more power, and there is some loss of qual- ity, in the upper notes. Even an A fiat came a little badly last night. The lower range is remarkably round and full, and throughout there is a delicious mezza voce. Very breath of the voice was that used in the most charming rendering of the "Nussbaum," a char- acteristic little vocal thrill that once heard is not easily forgotten. The "Liotosblume," "Mondnacht," and "Widmung," were the other Schumann numbers. The big aria from "Der Freischutz" led off the programme, and madame plunged right into it as If she had been pinging half the evening. "Ich Liebe Dich" represented Beethoven, and Gadski admirably; the other Franz song was "Fur Musik": there was one Jensen lyric, "Murmelndes Luftchen"; and four Schuberts, crowned by the finest rendering of the Erlkonig, splendidly dramatic, splen- didly voiced, that it has been my luck to hear. H. Selmar Meyrowitz accompanied, and accompanied like the distin- guished person that he is. Mr. Mey- rowlta?this little history explains his kind of accompanying?is a conduc- tor. For three years he has conduct- ed at Carlsruhe. After this tour he goes to the Royal Opera-house at Prague. Irl between times he has been assisting Felix Mottl. conducting "Parsifal" with Mr. Hertz at the Met- ropolitan Opera-house. New York. Mr. Meyrowitz plays that way with vivid sympathy and perfect understanding of the singer's requirements. His solos?he gave us some Wagner read out of the scores to the piano by him- self ?are also that kind of playing, or- chestral, but not pianistic. To-morrow evening there will be a second concert given, with a group of American songs, Strauss, Wolf and Saint-Saens to the good. Item: The audience throughout was handsomely enthusiastic. You will understand why If you go. BLANCHE PARTINGTON. Enters New Quarters. The San FYancisco. Stock and Bond Exchange celebrated its entrance to its new quarters in the Merchants' Ex- change building yesterday. General Walter Turnbull congratulated the brokers of the board on their in- creased facilities and predicted that the organization will play a prominent part in the commercial history of San Francisco. President Edward Barry and Daniel Meyer also spokr DID NOT TELL ALL HE KNEW J. A. S. Low, Witness to Dunsmuir Will, Admits He Testified Falsely at Trial MAY WIN BIG ESTATE Edna Wallace Hopper's Chances Look Brighter for Gaining Share of Millions "I didn't tell the whole truth," was the astounding statement made by J. A. S. Low when he was giving testi- mony in the Dunsmuir will case yes- terday before Crown Commissioner Courtenay Bennett, the. British Consul. In the face of a powerful cross-ex- amination by Sir Charles H. Tupper and Judge E. P. Coyne, Low was com- pelled to admit that he testified falsely when giving his testimony while the case was being tried in Victoria. Edna Wallace Hopper's chances of breaking the will now loom up In a far brighter light than before, and it looks as if she had a good chance to get a slice of the Dunsmuir millions. Low was one of the witnesses to the Alexander Dunsmuir will, whereby the immense estate was willed away from Mrs. Alexander Dunsmuir and given intact to James Dunsmuir. The will was made In California, and, according to the laws of this State, the witnesses must know the nature of the document or the will is invalid. Low in his testimony during the trial swore that he did not know what the document he had signed waa, nor did he know at the time of making that statement any of the contents of that document. In its decision on the merits of the will, the lower court at Victoria plainly stated that proof had been furnished that Alexander Dunsmuir had possessed mental capacity for transacting business prior to his death and in the opinion of the court was capable of making a will. The Supreme Court of British Col- umbia, however, ignored the ruling of the lower court, when the fact that the will had not been properly proved under the laws of California was pre- sented to it, and it ordered that a commission be appointed to take fur- ther evidence in this city on the ques- tion as to whether the witnesses to the will actually knew the contents of the document at the time they affixed their signatures to it. The Supreme Ct urt agreed that it would not refer the case back to the lower court but would await the result of the taking of testimony here and act accordingly in determining the legal points pre- sented to it on appeal. The Supreme Court of British Col- umbia, however, did not sustain the opinions of the lower court, and the presiding Judge held that further tes- timony should be taken from Low. Immediately after the trial Low, who had been in the employ of the Duns- muirs for twenty-five years, was dis- charged. At the time of the signing of the document Low stated his monthly salary was $250, but It was increased by James Dunsmuir to $500 a month pending the litigation. After his dis- charge Low went to He was summoned back by cable by Andrew Thorne, one of the attorneys of James Dunsmuir, in order that he might make some changes In his former tes- timony in behalf of sustaining the will. He did this, to the best of his j ability, in the direct examination put to him by defendant's attorneys yes- terday and he swore that the night he signed the paper he heard Alexander Dunsmuir say to James Dunsmuir, "Hand me the will." On cross-exam- ination, however, he fell down flat, and made a great witness for both the plaintiff, Edna Wallace Hopper, and Mrs. Joan Dunsmuir, the intervenor. Under severe cross-examination Low first said he was Ignorant of what the will was when he signed it. but later said he knew what the docu- j ment was. He further swore that when he was In the witness box he had not told the "wjiole truth." but that immediately after he left the box he realized that he had perjured himself. At this statement Judge Coyne demanded of the witness why, if he was an honest man, he had not asked to be called back to the box and be allowed to tell the true story. The witness was silent for a time and evaded the question by saying, "I an- swered all the questions that were put to me." Low further admitted that at the trial, although he had sworn he did not know the contents of the will at that time, he did know the contents just the same. The case will be resumed to-day at 11 o'clock. Sir Charles H. Tupper, K. C, Is .rep- resenting the intervenor, Mrs. J. O. Dunsmuir. E. V. Bodwell, K. C, Judge E. P. Coyne and Alexander Heyne- mann are attorneys for Edna Wallace Hopper, and A. P. Luxton and Andrew Thome are looking after the defend- ant's interests. How She Got the Money. In Judge Troutt's court yesterday, hearing was resumed in the case of Rose M. Biggs and Addle M. Norton against Matilde R. Cords for the re- covery of $18,200 loaned by Ann B. Clark, the aged mother of the two plaintiffs, now deceased. Mrs. Cords explained how she had been able to get so large a sum without security. She said she was promoting the Pacific Pine Needle Cofipany, a quasi-medical concern, and Mrs. Clark became Inter- ested in its success. Mrs. Clark was anxious to assist in an enterprise which promised relief for humanity. She loaned the money to Mrs. Cords, said the witness, with the understand- ing that it was to be invested in the company and not repaid until the company was able to pay it. Mrs. Cords said that she was not to be re- sponsible for the debt. Mrs. Norton, one of the daughters, told a different story of the several loans, the making of the notes and the payment of in- terest, and declared positively that her mother expected Mrs. Cords to repay the money. Cherries Ripen Prematurely. E. M. Bray of the firm of Bray Brothers, commission merchants, ap- peared on the Produce Exchange yes- terday with two fine ripe cherries of the Black Tartarian variety, which he picked from a tree in his orchard at Fruitvale. The appearance of ma- tured cherries at this time of the year is something unusual and is due to the abnormal weather conditions which existed ip the fall and early part of the winter of 1904, when cher- ry trees were in full bloom in several growing districts. Mr. Bray said that the trees from which the cherries were plucked, as well as other trees, which were blossoming, are now al- most entirely denuded of foliage, hav- ing lost all of their blossoms and most of their leaves. ?

HONOR FOR MEN WHOHAVE MADE HISTORY

Statues to Be Placed in Capitol?

SELECTION OF SUBJECTS DISCUSSEDinent citizens of California

i eered eagerly at the past yesterday inan attempt to decide who among plo-i»era are entitled to be considered the

? two most eminent Californians. Events

: ng past, fraught with picturesqueness.nd with significance, again became j

Cor students of the glowing pages

'of California history.Junipero Serra again established mis- [

sions and Portala sought the bay of jSan Francisco. Huntington was a gl- Igantic living intellect at the head of jthe first railway to traverse the Sler-

'l as and span the North American con-tinent. Stanford once more, lamenting jthe death of his son, founded the glo-j:ious institution of learning at Palo'Alto that bears his name, assisted by

his wife. James Marshall picked upfrom the Coloma millrace the nuggetsdestined to bring the hardy and bril-liant men of all the American States. and many other lands to the Sierranriver channels in search of fortunes.Sutter determined the reality of gold jIn the Marshall nuggets.

With crack of pistol shots and the j

'hum of angry voices once more the |vigilantes, headed by William T. Cole- jman, assembled. They hanged Casey

Of William anew. Senator Broderick,and William M. Gwin. his colleague intIM United States Senate from Califor- ;nla. were remembered. The fiery elo-. quence of Baker, early Californian.who fell for his country at Balls Bluff,orxce again made music in the ears ofthose who in the earlier days eagerly

dwellers in this State that the best pos-sible choice shall be made.

JUDGE BEATTY S OPINION.Chief Justice Beany when he wu

asked for an opinion yesterday desig-'<nating the two men whose services en- 1

titled them to be considered pre-eminent looked up with surprise, forthe request embodied the necessity forimmediately placing in critical review 1the events of two centuries In thisState. He removed his glasses and jwith a quizzical look said:

"The case is taken under advisement!for ninety days."

Chief Justice Beatty's first choice is :. Colonel Baker. He was a patriot in, peace. He proved his devotion to his 1? country by laying down his life for it.Ia part Justice Beatty said:I have Mill heard the equal of Baker for

'Ucuenee. His literary taste was exquisite.He was distinguished for eloquence andscholarship, for gallantry and patriotism. Itis tru* that he went from California to Oregonand was elected United States Senator fromOregon. It Is also true that he was a citizenof Illinois he fought in the Mexicanwar. But he has been claimed and is claimedhv California. He was a handsome man andhid statue would look well.

Padre Juniporo Serra waa a pioneer. Heir.ight be commemorated if it is possible tou-t an authentic picture of him as a guide

foe a statue. But even if there is no authenticpicture an artist, a true artist, perceiving thespirit of the man and the significance of theoccasion, could do much toward making ai ti-factory portraiture. Serra and Bakerweald do very well.

Attorney *E. S. Plllsbury was askedto make his selection of two Califor-nians who have performed the mosteminent service for the State. "Ah,"said Pillsbury, "that is a very largequestion. Iwould not care to commitmyself offhand. I will say that Pro-fessor Joseph Lie Conte is worth con-sidering, and Baker deserving. I am:going East to-morrow and have not thetime that I would require to think thematter over carefuly and fully."

Even more impressed with the inter-esting inquiry was Attorney Horace G.Piatt. He listened attentively to astatement relative to the historical dutythat is about to devolve upon the Cali-fornia Legislature and promised to con-sider the matter, but he could not makeany answer at once.

EX-MAYOR POND'S CHOICE.E. B. Pond, formerly Mayor of San

Francisco, president of the San Fran-cisco Savings Union and connectedwidely with many interests in Califor-nia, was also interested intensely, butfound that there had been so many his-torical persons in this State deservingof fame that he was unable to chooseat once.

Padre Serra and James Marshall werethe choice of ex-Congressman S. D.Woods. "California could not have hadIts present history in the absence ofeither," said Mr. Woods.

Henry Payot introduced the name ofWilliam C. Broderick, United StatesSenator from California. He also fa-vored William T. Coleman becauseColeman was the president of thevigilance committee that hanged Caseyfor the murder of James King of Wil-liam, the earliest editor of the SanFrancisco Bulletin.

'Coleman and King." said Payot,"strove nobly to purify the atmosphereof public life in San Francisco, andtheir example was salutary for all Cal-ifornia. They were makers of history."

Congressman Julius Kahn saidpromptly and without hesitation thatJunipero Serra and the Rev. StarrKing were his choices. "Serra was thepioneer of civilization for California.Where he placed missions there arethriving California towns and cities to-day, and their names commemorate hisdeeds and sagacity. Starr King by hiseloquence saved California to the Un-ion."

J. A. Filcher, California commissionerto the St. Louis Exposition, said thathis choice rested on United States Sen-

Lash's Kidney and Liver Bitters re-moves uric acid from the system by dis-solving the uric acid formation. ?

-r r

ator William M. Gwln, the colleagueof Senator David C. Broderick, and onStarr King. 'Gwln was a strong andloyal advocate of the interests of Cali-fornia in the United States Senate.King made sentiment for loyalty to theUnion and for higher life in Califor-nia."

Wlllard B. Harrington said that heregards Collis P. Huntington as thegreatest of all Californians, inasmuchas his gigantic work was accomplishedin the face of tremendous difficulties,and the result brought California intotouch by rail with the other States ofthe Union. Junipero Serra was cer-tainly entitled to be remembered.

GADSKI CHARMSAS DOES HEINK

Shows in Sopratno Field the'Same Magic Other QueenHas as World's Contralto

Last night at the Alhambra MadameGadski fulfilled all the large promiseof her singing with the MetropolitanOpera Company here three years ago.Three years ago she represented asplendid promise and a problem. To-day the promise is fulfilled and theproblem solved. Three years from nowmay find Gadski another Schumann-Heink?at the soprano end of the song?than which I can find nothing noblerto say of her.

Schumann-Heink herself, for thegripping, human quality of the thing,might have been at the singing of theFranz "Aus meinen grossen Schmer-zen." The song had the same grace ofseeming to flower into sound for thefirst time for you?of coming directlyfrom the producer to the consumer, asthe economists would say. So also, assinging itself, came the "Die Haide istbraun." One was rather proud of theaudience here. Gadski herself, too, didthe exquisitely right thing. The twosongs, perhaps best sung of the wholeprogramme from the sheerly human(and that is from the highest) side,drew an admirably appreciative enthu-siasm. Gadski, in her serene and gra-cious fashion, repeated both, and sangboth the second time with the full de-light of him who sings unafraid to theunderstanding heart. One was glad tobe there for the charming Tightness ofthe whole incident.

The whole programme was a compli-ment to the audience. Schumann.Schubert, Mo*art, Franz, Beethoven,Jensen, Weber, at their best, were thecomposers represented. One finds Gad-ski this season doing altogether the de-sirable thing. She even looks the partas by an important something she didnot look the prima donna when she washere before! Last night, fair, stately,gracious and even beautiful, as shestood there, sometimes leaning lightlyagainst the piano, Mme. Gadski wasjust as charming to see as to hear.I ventured to predict that in three

years the singer might be the sopranoSchumann-Heink. She is not that yet,quite. She has moments of conscious-ness of the prima donna, a little prideof artistry. Site has not. yet fiung her-self wholly free of herself to plungeinto the heart of the song, that isonly at the flood of her impulse. Butbecause she does at these moments liftto the ninth wave of song-making, onefeels that Gadski may yet do for thesoprano repertoire what Schumann-Heink has done for the contralto. Shehas time. Comparatively, Gadski is ayoung singer. She has yet ten years inwhich to reach the song mother as wefound her last year.

And Gadski is admirably artisticand entirely distinguished. Her scopeis that of the greatest singers. She isas surely at home in the simplicitiesof the lieder as in the heroics of themusic-drama. She sings Schubert aswell as she sings Wagner; "Ausmeinen grossen" as well as Mozart Inthe "Nozze di Figaro." Her phrase,nuance, "execution," are all particularpleasures. I remember no one with amore splendidly made crescendo. Vo-cally one feels the desire for morepower, and there is some loss of qual-ity, in the upper notes. Even an Afiat came a little badly last night. Thelower range is remarkably round andfull, and throughout there is a deliciousmezza voce. Very breath of the voicewas that used in the most charmingrendering of the "Nussbaum," a char-acteristic little vocal thrill that onceheard is not easily forgotten. The"Liotosblume," "Mondnacht," and"Widmung," were the other Schumannnumbers.

The big aria from "Der Freischutz"led off the programme, and madameplunged right into it as If she hadbeen pinging half the evening. "IchLiebe Dich" represented Beethoven,and Gadski admirably; the otherFranz song was "Fur Musik": therewas one Jensen lyric, "MurmelndesLuftchen"; and four Schuberts,crowned by the finest rendering of theErlkonig, splendidly dramatic, splen-didly voiced, that it has been my luckto hear.

H. Selmar Meyrowitz accompanied,and accompanied like the distin-guished person that he is. Mr. Mey-rowlta?this little history explains hiskind of accompanying?is a conduc-tor. For three years he has conduct-ed at Carlsruhe. After this tour hegoes to the Royal Opera-house atPrague. Irl between times he hasbeen assisting Felix Mottl. conducting"Parsifal" with Mr. Hertz at the Met-ropolitan Opera-house. New York. Mr.Meyrowitz plays that way with vividsympathy and perfect understandingof the singer's requirements. Hissolos?he gave us some Wagner readout of the scores to the piano by him-self?are also that kind of playing, or-chestral, but not pianistic.

To-morrow evening there will be asecond concert given, with a group ofAmerican songs, Strauss, Wolf andSaint-Saens to the good.

Item: The audience throughoutwas handsomely enthusiastic. Youwill understand why If you go.

DID NOT TELLALL HE KNEW

J. A. S. Low, Witness toDunsmuir Will,Admits HeTestified Falsely at Trial

MAY WIN BIG ESTATE

Edna Wallace Hopper'sChances Look Brighter forGaining Share of Millions

"I didn't tell the whole truth," wasthe astounding statement made by J.A. S. Low when he was giving testi-mony in the Dunsmuir will case yes-terday before Crown CommissionerCourtenay Bennett, the. British Consul.

In the face of a powerful cross-ex-amination by Sir Charles H. Tupperand Judge E. P. Coyne, Low was com-pelled to admit that he testified falsely

when giving his testimony while thecase was being tried in Victoria.

Edna Wallace Hopper's chances ofbreaking the will now loom up In afar brighter light than before, and itlooks as if she had a good chance toget a slice of the Dunsmuir millions.Low was one of the witnesses to theAlexander Dunsmuir will, whereby theimmense estate was willed away fromMrs. Alexander Dunsmuir and givenintact to James Dunsmuir.

The will was made In California,and, according to the laws of thisState, the witnesses must know thenature of the document or the will isinvalid. Low in his testimony duringthe trial swore that he did not knowwhat the document he had signed waa,nor did he know at the time of makingthat statement any of the contents ofthat document.

In its decision on the merits of thewill, the lower court at Victoriaplainly stated that proof had beenfurnished that Alexander Dunsmuirhad possessed mental capacity fortransacting business prior to his deathand in the opinion of the court wascapable of making a will.

The Supreme Court of British Col-umbia, however, ignored the ruling ofthe lower court, when the fact thatthe will had not been properly provedunder the laws of California was pre-sented to it, and it ordered that acommission be appointed to take fur-ther evidence in this city on the ques-tion as to whether the witnesses tothe will actually knew the contents ofthe document at the time they affixedtheir signatures to it. The SupremeCt urt agreed that it would not referthe case back to the lower court butwould await the result of the takingof testimony here and act accordingly

in determining the legal points pre-sented to it on appeal.

The Supreme Court of British Col-umbia, however, did not sustain theopinions of the lower court, and thepresiding Judge held that further tes-timony should be taken from Low.

Immediately after the trial Low, whohad been in the employ of the Duns-muirs for twenty-five years, was dis-charged. At the time of the signing ofthe document Low stated his monthlysalary was $250, but It was increasedby James Dunsmuir to $500 a monthpending the litigation. After his dis-charge Low went to He wassummoned back by cable by AndrewThorne, one of the attorneys of JamesDunsmuir, in order that he might

make some changes In his former tes-timony in behalf of sustaining thewill. He did this, to the best of his jability, in the direct examination putto him by defendant's attorneys yes-terday and he swore that the night hesigned the paper he heard AlexanderDunsmuir say to James Dunsmuir,"Hand me the will." On cross-exam-ination, however, he fell down flat, andmade a great witness for both theplaintiff, Edna Wallace Hopper, andMrs. Joan Dunsmuir, the intervenor.

Under severe cross-examinationLow first said he was Ignorant ofwhat the will was when he signed it.but later said he knew what the docu- jment was. He further swore that

when he was In the witness boxhe had not told the "wjioletruth." but that immediately after heleft the box he realized that he hadperjured himself. At this statementJudge Coyne demanded of the witnesswhy, if he was an honest man, he hadnot asked to be called back to the boxand be allowed to tell the true story.The witness was silent for a time andevaded the question by saying, "I an-swered all the questions that were putto me."

Low further admitted that at thetrial, although he had sworn he did notknow the contents of the will at thattime, he did know the contents just thesame. The case will be resumed to-dayat 11 o'clock.

Sir Charles H. Tupper, K. C, Is .rep-resenting the intervenor, Mrs. J. O.Dunsmuir. E. V. Bodwell, K. C, Judge

E. P. Coyne and Alexander Heyne-mann are attorneys for Edna WallaceHopper, and A. P. Luxton and AndrewThome are looking after the defend-ant's interests.

How She Got the Money.In Judge Troutt's court yesterday,

hearing was resumed in the case ofRose M. Biggs and Addle M. Nortonagainst Matilde R. Cords for the re-covery of $18,200 loaned by Ann B.Clark, the aged mother of the twoplaintiffs, now deceased. Mrs. Cordsexplained how she had been able toget so large a sum without security.

She said she was promoting the PacificPine Needle Cofipany, a quasi-medical

concern, and Mrs. Clark became Inter-ested in its success. Mrs. Clark wasanxious to assist in an enterprisewhich promised relief for humanity.She loaned the money to Mrs. Cords,said the witness, with the understand-ing that it was to be invested in thecompany and not repaid until thecompany was able to pay it. Mrs.Cords said that she was not to be re-sponsible for the debt. Mrs. Norton,one of the daughters, told a different

story of the several loans, the makingof the notes and the payment of in-terest, and declared positively that hermother expected Mrs. Cords to repaythe money.

Cherries Ripen Prematurely.E. M. Bray of the firm of Bray

Brothers, commission merchants, ap-peared on the Produce Exchange yes-terday with two fine ripe cherries ofthe Black Tartarian variety, which hepicked from a tree in his orchard atFruitvale. The appearance of ma-tured cherries at this time of the yearis something unusual and is due tothe abnormal weather conditionswhich existed ip the fall and earlypart of the winter of 1904, when cher-ry trees were in full bloom in severalgrowing districts. Mr. Bray said thatthe trees from which the cherrieswere plucked, as well as other trees,which were blossoming, are now al-most entirely denuded of foliage, hav-ing lost all of their blossoms and mostof their leaves. ?
