ASTOR HEIRSAT PEACE

Threatened WillContest Avoided

NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Persistentreports that Mrs. Madeline Force Astor

is contemplating a contest of the willof her husband, John Jacob Astor, havebeen set at rest by an emphatic denialfrom William H. Force, Mrs. Astor's>father.

Those who announced that a contestof the will was under considerationdeclared recently that there weregrounds for believing that the courtswould give the expected heir a muchlarger share of the Afetor propertythan under the provision of the will,which provides that "each child whoshall survive, other than his son Vin-cent and his daughter Muriel, shall re-ceive $3,000,000 to be held in trust un-til such child shall attain the age of21 years."

The law regarding provision for aposthumous child is as follows:

"Whenever a testator shall have achild born after the making of the lastwill and fehall die leaving such childunprovided for, every child shall suc-ceed to the same portion of the estateas would have been distributed if suchparent had died intestate."

PLAYMATES IX GERMANYThe history of Mr. and Mrs. M. B.

ILichtenstein, lighted as it is with a Itouch of unusual romance, holds more ?than ordinary interest. Bride and |bridegroom were born in Schneider-muehl, Germany, in 1841. Not onlywere they playmates in childhood, butthey were schoolmates and close friendsuntil 1856, when Lichtenstein came toAmerica. His Journey of eight weekswas fraught with peril; the ship waswrecked and another vessel carried thepassengers the remainder of theirvoyage.

He arrived in San Francisco in 1858and, with the exception of a few monthswhen he lived in Virginia City, Nev.,always has made bis home here. Mrs,Lichtenstein, at that time Miss Ernes-tine Hirschfeld, came to San Franciscoby way of Panama in 1862. Threeweeks after her arrival the couple

Iwere married by Rev. Dr. Eckman, oneof the leading San Francisco rabbis inearly days.

EIGHT CHILDREN" LIYIXGThe Lichtenstelns have eight chil-

dren?Mrs. M. Summerfleld, Mrs. M. H.Harris, Mrs. 1* E. Boukofsky, and Ben-jamin, Harry, Marc, Sam and Nat

HOUSE PASSESBILL AIMED AT

INSECT PESTSInspectors to Maintain Agricul-

tural Quarantine AgainstInfection of Fruits

[Special Dispatch to The Call]WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.?The house

today rushed through the agriculturalquarantine bill In the absence of twomembers who had given notice thatthey would oppose it The senate hasreported a similar bill, and the pros-pect is favorable that the legislationwill go through at this session.

The bill appropriates $25,000 to startthe work of agricultural quarantineand Inspectors are provided for andwill have authority not only to stopthe spread of insect pests at stateborders, but within the states them-selves.»The bill is of vital importance to

California, which is continually threat-ened with an invasion of insect pestsfrom Hawaii and elsewhere. Hereto-fore the quarantine has ben carted onby a strong arm method, unauthorized.The bill has been vigorously supportedby Representatives Kahn and Hayesand it is due to their active efforts thatit was pushed through today.

j>.n opinion handed down by the inter-state commerce commission holds thatreicing charges collected on the Crutch-field & Woolfolkcompany by the South-ern Pacific company for the refrigera-tion of cantaloupes in the Imperial val-ley and Yuma to various eastern desti-nations during the seasons of 1908 and1909 were excessive and reparation wasawarded on 353 cars to the amount of$3,180.26, with interest at 6 per cent.

The California shipments were fromEI Centro, Calexico and Heber. Thecomplaint was against reicing chargesmade before the cars were received,after being loaded, the charges rangingfrom $1 to $4 a car. The company nowmakes a regular charge in such cases,but formerly such charges were arbi-trary.

The uses of a mother In law are toooften less than her abuses.

Trying to be & Christian on the in-stallment plan is & waste of time.

Anyway, the pinnacle of fame mustbe an uncomfortable perch to roost on.

The popularity of a homely girl may-depend on the sum her father canwrite a check for.
