Question About the Disposition of Sev- eral Million Dollars. ’ SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10. —A new com.- plication has been added to the contest of the will disposing of the $4,000,000 estate of the late Mrs. Charles Lux by the filing of a petition by the California Safe De- posit and Trust company to have the will now before the probate court declared in- valid. This action is on behalf of Jesse Potter, Mrs. Lux’s son. The petition of the trust company reiterates the charges of undue influence and unsoundness of mind made by Potter in his contest, and says that the true will of Mrs. Lux, oxe- cuted in 1892. names the California Safe Deposit and Trust company astrustees for the payment of bequests amounting to $1,000, 000. After these bequests are paid the trust company was to have "turned over to Potter the remaining $3,000,000 of the estate. _ The petition avers that this will was de‘ poéited with thefldeposit company, but is now in the custody of an attorney. . The attorney, however, says that the will exe- cuted by Mrs. Lux in 1892 is not in exist- ence, but was taken by Mrs. Lux and de- ole—02‘. "n , - HOTEL DEADBEATS. SHARP RASCALS WHO ARE Too MUCH FOR THEVVSHREWDEST CLERKS. Spine of the Tricks by Which They Obtain Accommodations VJit-hout Paying and Also Borrow Money—Empty Trunks and Bogus Packages. Despite every precaution taken by shrewd hotel clerks a large number of persons are constantly engaged in secur- ingpboard and lodging by fraud. I It is usually supposed that when a guest arrives ea ptéel without bag- gage he .canno "S cure acconimoda- tions unless he pays inadvance, but the tricky“deadbeat” not only will‘livc many cases will secure a loan from the unsuspecting gentleman behind the desk. The “deadbeat” constantly evolves new tricks to “do up” the hotel man, and it was not many days ago that a well known hotel was defrauded in a very skillful manner of a week’s board and some of the cash in the till. The “deadbeat” walked into . the hotel lob- by and in a confident manner placed his name on the, register as hailing from Chicago. He was neatly dressed and carried a small grip. He informed the his first trip to the coast. ' , the new arrival was assigned to a good room. He handed two baggage checks to the clerk and requested that his trunks be sent for from the depot. In an hour or two he inquired why his baggage had not been sent up to his room. not been able to find it. Inquiries were made by telephone, but the railroad people could give no information of the missing baggage. “Well, I am in a nice fix,” said the new guest to the hotel clerk, “for all my clothes are in my trunks, and I sup- pose the things have gone astray. ” The clerk was very sympathetic, for a traveling man without his clothes is indeed to be pitied. The fellow man- aged to borrow $20 tO buy some shirts, collars, ties, etc, and went out of the hotel vowing vengeance against the rail- road company. He even had the hotel clerk pay for a telegram to Chicago'iii- quiring at the depot there as to where the trunks bearing certain numbered checks had been sent to. The reply came back that they would look the matter up, and pending the information the new guest had a royal good time at the hotel. In a few days he disappeared, and it then dawned upon the hotel men that they had been neatly swindled by. the means Of two baggage checks 'which evidently had been stolen at SOme time in Chicago or elsewhere. Another favorite trick to defraud a hotel is done by means Of,a confederate. One man will go to a first , class house and secure a good room. About the sec- ond day he will be in the Office, and while there the hotel clerk will receive a telephone message purporting to come from a well known store asking if Mr. SO-and-so desires the goods he ordered sent up to the hotel. The clerk will nat- urally ask the guest the question, and he will reply that he desires the goods sent up. When the package arrives, there is always $10 to $25 to be paid. The hotel man is requested by the guest to “settle the amount and charge it up in my bill.” It doesnot pay to offend a guest whose appearance indicates wealth, so the money is handed out in payment. The guest now disappears, and his trunk is found to be a cheap one and generally full of paper,‘while the package which has been paid for by the hotel people is also worthless, Bogus telegrams and letterheads are frequently used by “deadbeats” in or- der to secure a little ready cash until “my money arrives, ” and very often the scheme works all right, for a hotel clerk is always afraid Of offending a ‘ guest in these matters, for should he mistrust an honest man he will? injure the hotel’s reputation. While most ho- tels make it a. rule not’to cash drafts or checks or‘ loan money, still very often the ‘ ‘deadbeat’ ’ will make them break it. A scheme which has recently been worked all over the country was for the “deadbeat” to send by express a pack- age to a hotel in another city. It would be heavily sealed and marked, “Value $200," and the hotel man, thinking that it contained jewelry intended for a guest soon to arrive, would put it in the Safe. In a few days the “deadbeat” would turn up at the hotel, register and inquire if a package had arrived for him. He would be told that it was in the safe, and he would tell them it con- tained watches and valuables. The same night a. loan of $20 would be asked for, and the hotel man, remembering the valuable package in the safe, would in The guest would disappear, and when the package was opened it was found to be of no value. , As all accounts in hotels are rendered weekly it is impossible for dishonest persons to Obtain free living for longer than a. week, for they will be requested to pay or'vacate. .

Universal. Had Its‘ Origin. ‘ V I attended a funeralthe other day Where there was a, lovely, flower piece with the figures “30” in the center." ‘The deceased had been familiar all his life with that signal, having been con- _ nected with telegraph , or newspaper ' business for nearly 30 years, and yet ‘ I doubt .if ever he or any One who con- . tributed to the flower piece knew or dreamed how 30 came to mean any- : thing, especially finis, orsthe end. I As a part in telegraph History I will , explain how this 'signal, which has ' come to mean so much, had its origin. 3 Like a great many other expressions, it i was started accidentally, as it were. In : the infancy of the telegraph business 1 dispatches were sent paid or collect, . many Of them abbreviated in telegraph- ing, and all newspaper - dispatches were i not only abbreviated, but . sent collect. There were no news agencies then, as 3 now, and papers had friends in all the ' towns, who were authorized, to send ' them dispatches to be called for. _ Every beginner in the art Of teleg- raphy was given a book Of abbrevia- tions and signals, which he had to com- mit to memory and practice till he be- came expert in their use. Among those signals that of 30 was feund, and it meant “cOllect pay at the other end. ” Whether a news dispatch--pr common . . business messa c if ‘not re aid- he Traveling men are good customers, so, g ’ p p ’ t signal‘30 was attached. ‘As all press dispatches were paid for where received, they all had 30 at .the end. . news agencies began their work the sig- nal was retained, for they were still paid for where received. This signal has come in these days to be-a universal ‘finis to all press dis- patches, private, _special and general, and a secondary 'meaning, or- perhaps, better, a legendary meaning attaches itself'as “the end” and-' is'a proper and beautiful “expression of the finisof a telegraph operator or any other person. ~ It well may be a signal to the spirit- ual dispatch of a human soul to the great center of rewards and as a notice to estimate its value when received and “collect pay at the other end. ”-—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. ’ PURITANICAL LAWS. . How They Round Up Delipquent Debtors In Cultured Boston. “Just wait till I catch'him in Bos- ton. Then I’ll make him come to the center,” remarked an angry man the other day while roasting a . theatrical manager who owed him ‘a few hundred dollars for services rendered. I told him that I supposed he would then clap the debtor into the Charles Street jail. “That’s just what I will do if lever catch'him there, you bet.” And then the mad actor explained how easy it was to get even with people of that sort in the Hub. No matter What the debt, nor where or how it was contracted, all one has to do is to enter a complaint and that settles it. If one who owes is averse 'to notoriety, he’ll: hardly take the poor debtor’s oath, which releases him for a certain number of years, but does not wipe out his obligations, but will linger in the bastile until he can interest his friends or realize on his col- lateral and settle. ' I know several New Yorkers who have run against creditors in the bean .bng and have suffered. Some joke about their incarceration. and the ques— tions put to them during the process of administering the poor ‘ debtor’s oath, but most all agree that the Boston law is a puritanical provision that should be materially amended. Bostonians who are dodging process servers are agitat- ing a change that will permit them to pay up on the installment plan instead of being forced to cash ‘ in the full amount or remain a guest of the Charles street hotel. If 'such a law was on the New York statute books and was en- forced herc—swell, the ' Tombs or some other prison would be holding hundreds who now look as if they owned the town instead of merely owing‘the townspeople.

Poisoning by Tinned Food. _ Some light is thrown by The Lancet upon the mysterious cases of poisoning by tinned food which from time to time are‘reported. Theygare believed to be, due to neglect of the caution against eating tinned foods that have been ex- posed to the air for some time after be! ing' Opened. The exact manner in which poisonous substances, technically known as. “ptomaines, ” are generated so rapid- ly is not known with certainty, but the fact that they are produced in sufficient quantity to cause very=grave:,.symptoms of poisoning have beenbrought out ina multitude of instances. In one well .knovvn case thefirst half of the contents of a. tin of lobster was consumed with no ill effect, but therest a few days aft- erward proved extremely poisonous. It is suggested thatas a safeguard manu- facturers might label the tins with some such notice as “The contents of this tin are perfectly wholesome when eaten fresh from the tin and aflord good food, but the public is advised not to expose the contents for any length of ,time’ to the injurious influences of the atmosphere.” The Lancet writer even goes so'far as to suggest that some-such warning -might be insisted on" by the legislature. —London News. .
