He was legally Dead Father Claims Estate Missing Man Turns Up After 60 Years to Fight Daughter's Will NEW YORK, April 20. (AP) A stooped and weather-beaten old prospector, regarded as dead by his daughter during her lifetime, holds a legal right today to claim a share in the daughter's $400,000 estate. John F. Mulhall, 89, of San Antonio, told a supported by witness which satisfied Surrogate James A. Foley.

on these points: That Mulhall is the former husband of Mrs. Susan J. Mulhall of New York, father of the late Mrs. Isabel McHie, who died April 27, 1939, leaving the residue of her estate to "The Seeing Eye" for training dogs to lead the blind. PREFERRED DOGS Mulhall's eccentric daughter once remarked, "the more I see of humans the more I think of dogs." In a codicil to her will she said: "I want it distinctly understood that any person claiming to be my father is an imposter." Mrs.

Mulhall acknowledged in court that she had been married, 60 years ago, to a John F. Mulhall in St. Louis and that a daughter had been borh to them about a year later.

Mrs. McHie, who once attempted to toss around part of $173,000 in cash she was carrying a handbag while riding a train, was separated from her husband, Sidman McHie of Hammond, in 1926.

She feared that she would be killed for her wealth and in her will provided that $25,000 be set aside to prosecute anyone who might be responsible for her death. She directed that an autopsy be performed to determine the cause of death.

He was represented as believing that virtually.

all pending legislation except ap-. propriation bills could be deferred until next session.

The committee approved procedure for unlimited debate on the whole question of amending the National labor relations law.

NEW 'HAM, EGGS' PLAN FOR ALL ADULT JOBLESS PUSHED A new "ham and egg" pension plan, seeking to benefit all unemployed of voting age, was disclosed today after petitions went into circulation to place the measure on the ballot. Called "Ham and Egg Plan No. 3" by the Retirement Life Payments Association, its sponsor, it provides the weekly payment of 20 "one-dollar" warrants to unemployed voters over 50. Other voters, 21 or over, would receive seven "one-dollar" warrants weekly.

The two other similarly -sponsored "ham and egg" pension plans were defeated by California voters. Plan No. 2, voted down last year, provided 30 warrants every Thursday, with no provision for unemployed under 50. A 3 per cent gross tax on transactions, paid in legal money, would supplant all taxes but Federal in the State under the new plan. As in the 1939 measure, notions in warrants would be exempt from taxes.

A State bank would be set up, its $20,000,000 capital to be taken from the first receipts of the transactions tax. As before, the proposal seeks to take care of Roy Owens and Will Kindig, executives of the "ham and eggs" organization. It says the Governor must appoint one of them to a three-man commission which would administer the plan. The plan drew immediate opposition. Ralph H.

Taylor, executive secretary of the Agricultural Council of California, warned farmers, the measure would lay a 10 per cent tax on their gross incomes. He figured that farm products "turn over 3 to 5 times or more in going from the farm to the table."

Butters had concealed the transfer of valuable mining stock to niece, Mrs. Lois C. Gardner, wife of Daniel M. Gardner, retired Marine captain. Coggershall's attorneys, O.

D. Hamlin and A. R. Rowell, produced an affidavit signed by Mrs. Butters.

It itemized her assets at the time of the settlement in 1938 but did not list the stock. The plaintiff sought to prove that dividends totaling $60,000 had been received by Mrs. Butters from the stock in her late husband's San Salvador mine.
