YERKES ESTATE SHRINKS.
New-York Hospital Plan Said To
Be Jeopardized Thereby.
(Chicago. Feb. 2O— "The Chronicle" to-d^y
F-aye that startling reports have reached the
ears of <"'hicago financiers that the reputed
fI!i,QO(MMMt estate of Charles T. Yerkes is ficti
tious That it will not aggregate more that*
(8,000,000 is a report credited by Chicago bank
ers who have had occasion to make) au investi
gation of the former traction promoter's hold-
Ires
fllr.ee the death of Mr. Terkes much of the
purposed values of traction stocks in Chicago
nnd T^ondor are declared to have dwindled to an
> normous degree. This situation has placed in
Jeopardy the gigantic New-York hospital project
which the late traction kine had provided for In
his will a* a monument to his memory.
That th« estate of Mr. Yerkes could not truth
fully be quoted at |lfi,00(VOOO was admitted last
nieht by Clarence Knight, who represented Mr.
Yerkes in the closing years of his life, and who
drew the will disposing of his property.
"There never was any authorization for the
ptatement that the Yerttea estate would amount
to f1A.4M0.0Q0." he said. "Thf-re was nothing In
the will to Indicate that such was the aggregate
vnlu*- of the estate. As to whether the estate
will amount to more or less than $15,000,000. I
have nothing to pay."
SOLVES OLD MYSTERY.
Murder and Robbery Practically
Proved After Eight Years.
[By TV'jrrßrh to Tae Trlhin* 1
Portland. Me.. Feb. - The disappearance of
John Fiinson. a wealthy Ban Francisco man,
which for fight years has baffled detectives and
experts, seems to have been solved by Robert C.
Foster. a young attorney, of this city, who is
acting for Mr Btlnson's logical heirs, a sister.
Mrs. Pa rah Connor, of this city, and her two
daughters. The cape. Mr. Foster believes, was
one of murder and robbery.
Mr. Foster has discovered that bonds, stocks
and deeds of Mr. Btlnson'S, representing over
(1.000,000, have been stolen. Mr. Stinson dis
appeared in Septf-mher. I^f'*. Foster found that
an old man answering Ills description was found
murdered In Golden Rate Park. San Francisco,
at that time The body was buried in the Pot
ter's Field, unidentified. Witnesses have tes
tified that photographs taken of the corpse be
fore burial are likenesses of Mr. Btinson, and
Mr?, Connor, by a telegraphed description of
her brother, which exactly tallied with the re
corded description of the body, has made identi
fication almost positive.
Before his disappearance Mr. Stinson had a
safety deposit box In the Union Trust Company

istrator, appointed by the court opened the
box on a court order as soon na the murder of
Btinson seemed established The box wns ab

the Republican candidate, said to have been
hacked by H. C. Frlck and the Pennsylvania

cities unite in Oreater Pittsbtirp. about April 1">,
Kirschler will become Deputy Mayor of Greater

HOW CARNEGIE HELPED.
Encourages Xeri-Rochellc Church to
Raise $500 for Organ.
A story was told to-day in New-Rochelle of
how Andrew Carnegie helped the members of
the First Methodist Church to get a new pipe
organ. The congregation wanted a $I.(V>O in
strurmnt, and one of the members wrote to Mr.
Carnegie for help. The philanthropist replied
that If the congregation would first raise &>**>
he would sec what could he done. This response
was encouraging, and the flock soon had the
money pledged. They then told Mr Carnegie,
who in the mean while had investigated the
needs of the congregation through his secre
tary.
The deacons yesterday received a letter from
Mr. Carnegie, who. instead of sending his check,
■aM that he had found that the congrega
tion was too small for a Jl.OiO organ, but
thought that on» for $500 would answer th
purpose very well, and. inasmuch as they hail
collected this amount, there was no need of any
help from him. The deacons of the church,
although the) have received a wetback, have
not entirely given up hope. Henry Btebn

XICOLL ATTACKS HEARST.
Says Bel wont and Ryan Prevented
His Nomination for President.
[By Telegraph to Th« Tribune. 1
Albany. Feb. — Opposing the petition of
William Randolph Hearst before Attorney Gen
eral Mayer for an investigation of the Belmont-
Ryan traction merger to-day. Delancey Nicoll
said that Mr. Hearst was actuated only by a
desire to obtain revenue because these financier*
prevented his getting the Presidential nomina
tion in 1901 Since that time, he said. Mr.
Hearst had been persistent in his arrack on th«
interests of Mr. Belmont and Mr. Ryan.
Coming at the end of a long hearinsr at which
the merger had been attacked in bitterest terms,
the statement created much excitement. Mr.
Hearst's advocates declared Mr. NicoH was only
trying to aid his cans- by injecting political
dead issues. He, however, was definite in his
statements.
"Of course., we are bound to assume that Mr.
Hearst acts from purely public and patriotic
motives," said he, "and that he is not actuated
by any personal ill will, and yet at the same,
time we cannot forget that Mr. Hearst is a per
son of like feelings with ourselves, and we must
reflect that he was a candidate for the nomina
tion for President at the last Democratic Na
tional Convention and that his aspirations in
that regard were defeated by Mr. Rvan and Mr.
Belmont, the \#ry gentlemen whose proposed
measures are attacked here. it is true that
since that time he has been a persistent libeller
of these gentlemen, who have brought a suit
for $800,000 against him, which I have heen try
ing for months to get lnt> court, and I don't
know whether he has nppeHrec! yet or not.
"That is the situation of this petition brought
by Mr. Hearst without any regard for the pub
lic interests or the policy of the State — to
gratify his personal ill will against Mr. Ryan
and Mr. Belmont and by trying to put the pres
ent Republican administration in a bad light, to
•Mist him upon his meteoric flight toward tht>
governorship of the Suite of New- York."
Paul P. Cravath. George W. Wickersham and
Joseph Auerbnch also opposed the petition, ar
guing that the only point for the Attorney Gen
eral to settle was whether the proposed Inter
borough-Metropolitan Company violated the
laws. Similar mergers were In operation to.
many cities in the State, it was pointed out.
Clarence J. Shearn. for Mr. Hearst, said that
every surface railroad, with the exception of
two horse lines, the Pelharn Park and City Isl
and roads, were controlled by the Metropolitan
and Interborough companies. He held that the
combination was illegal by the terms of the
statute law and the common law, because It
tended to create a monopoly and was against
public policy. A plain violation of the stat
ute, he said, should not he ignored, because it
placed the future developments of transit in the
city at the mercy of a monopoly, because of
reckless stock watering.
SUBPCF.NA BILL KILLED.
Measure Making Evading Process
Serving a Misdemeanor Lost.
Albany, Feb. 20. — The Senate to-day, acting
as a committee of the whole, killed the ßßrackett t
bill making it a misdemeanor for any person wil
fully to evade trie service of a process or a sub
poena or other mandate of a court by a vote of
'23 to 5.
As reason for th* enactment of the bill. Sen
ator Bracket t referred to the experiences of the
Missouri authorities wl'h H. H. Rogers, th«
Standard OH director; the unsuccessful efforts of
m server! U riui J'>im O. Rockefeller, and
the search for other men and wssae*. of DTOSnt
m*r,CH wanted as witnesses or otherwise in con
nection with If sal ac'ioriß
"Rogers wasn't served for heaven knows MM
long." saM Senator Bracket! 'If a person on
whom a process should be served wilfully svSjwM
it then the strong hand of the law should tike
the rlodzcr by the collar and teach him *c
respec» for the law and for the administration
■if |ustiee. There is still another class of cases,
like that of Hannah Ellas, who evaded process,
and this law would apply to such as she."
Senator Elsberg declared that the opinion of
many in New-York was that the service <<n the
Elias woman was one of the grossest cases of
impropriety that ever happened in New- York
City.

WALDO MISSED MUSTER
COLONEL DYER VEXED.
Guard Discussing First Deputy's
"Absence Without Leave."
There waa great excitement at the armory
of the 12th Regiment last night when it tianiimi
known that Rhinelander Waldo, Finn Deputy
Police Commissioner, who is still a lieutenant
In the regiment, practically defied the orders
directing him to be present for muster.
Lieutenant Waldo, although he sent In his
resignation on the day he received his appoint
ment in the Police Department. Is still an officer
of the National Guard, his resignation not hiv
ing been officially accepted, and until he i* dis
charged he is liable for all military .lutv. When
Lieutenant Waldo s»nt in his resignation h» al<»f>
requested Colonel Dyer to grant him a leav*
until his nation wa s acrepte<t. as he wanted
to devote all his time to his bail police duties.
Colonel Dyer refused to grant fh» leave, It is
said, as he thought Lieutenant Waldo. so Ion?
as he was In the city. should drill with his com
pany one night a week until the annual inspec
tion was over.
Lieutenant Waldo was fihs»m from drill de
spite Colonel Dyer's refusal to grant him leave.
The colonel, although an officer of kindly dis
position, is a strict disciplinarian, and last Mon
day night sent Lieutenant Waldo ■ special order.
directing that he report for duty with his com
pany last nit.'hr for the annual inspection and
muster. In addition to this order Colonel Dyer
wrote to General Bingham and told him that
his first deputy had been absent without leavo
from his military duties, and requested that ho
<Bingham> direct Mr. Waldo to attend th- mus
ter last night.
When Colonel Dyer reached the armory last
night, a little after 7 o'clock, he. was almost
dumfounded to rind an order »her • from General
Georse Moore Smith, who commands the Flrsc
Brigade, of which the l^th I* a part, which
stated that Lieutenant Rhinelander Waldo had,
been relieved from duty with the V_'th Regiment
and had been detailed for temporary duty on,
the staff of General Smith. The order was is
sued by Colonel Thomas J. Donohue. as
sistant adjutant general of the First Brigade.
LIEUTENANTS LITTLE JOKER.
This order, of course, relieved Lieutenant
Waldo from all responsibility from being pres
ent at the muster which was ordered by the>
Governor.
Colonel Dyer at once called up General Smith
and asked him if he would rescind the order.
This General Smith refused to do.
The colonel next called up Adjutant General
Henry. In Albany, and. explaining the case,
asked that the resignation of Lieutenant Waldo
be held up pending an official investigation to
see what steps could be taken in the matter,
This General Henry promised to do.
General Smith, when asked last night why ha
had issued the order detailing Lieutenant Waldo
on his staff, said:
Lieutenant Waldo ask«'d me to detail him Oi»
my staff tew>sorarUy, and I did so. I Know
nothing about any personal feeling between the
Lieutenant and Colonel Dyer, but having issued
the order I told Colonel Dyer it. would have tc
>tand unless I am ordered to revoke it by su
perior authority.
< 'oionel Dye:-, when ask*.} for a statement,
said:
fr is true that Lieutenant Waldo has been
absent without leave from his duties in fhij
12th Regiment, and that I ha\e received <*n
order from General Smith relieving him fro;a
duty in my regiment. I cannot, of course, make
any comment, as military regulations forbid It.
What future steps, if any. I shall take I vanr.oi
tell now.
General Henry has promised to hold the lieu
tenant's resignation for the present. But if he
can perform duty on the staff of General Smith.
I fail to see why he could not have paraded
last night at the important inspection and
muster.
A high officer of the Guard, who would nof
allow his name to be used, said:
I do not think the action of General Smith
helps the discipline of the Guard, and I am much
surprised at his action under the c rcumstaneea.
A friend of Lieutenant Waldo's said:
It is usually customary when an officer re
signs and requests leave pending the receipt of
his discharge to grant it. Colonel Dyer, in not
doing so. treated Mr. Waldo with discourtesy.
The latter, however. StOM a inarch on the colo
nel, and will undoubtedly v.in om. He shsvlo]
have ban granted leave in the first place, after
being appointed to a civil position of such re
sponsibility, and General Smith did rigtu In
saving him from further humiliation.
