'HEIRS TO CONTEST | ADOLPH SUTRC'S WILL | A THREE-CORNEI’ED BATTLE NOW ON. | Four of the Children of the Dead Millionaire Attack the Validity | of the Document Filed. | The will of Adolph Sutro was not ad- | mitted to probate yesterday as was ex- | pected. The way of the will is not as smooth as desired by many of the lega- tees, and four of the children of the de- ceased capitalist promise to make it ex- tremely rocky, 1f, indeed, they do not completely side-track it and leave the es- tate to be disposed of in & manner entire- | 1y different than was desired by the ac- cumulator of the property. When the case was called yesterday morning In Judge Coffey’s court Attorneys Garret McEnerney and Charles S. Wheel- er moved for a continuance. They repre- Mrs. Rosa V. Mrs. Kate | Neusbaum, Edgar E. Sutro and Miss Clara Sutro, who have decided to contest | the will. They claim that under recent decisions of the Supreme Court the trust | will is invalid and they will also resist | payment of several bequests to brothers, | sisters and nleces of the deceased. | Furthermore they intend to contest the clalms of Mrs. Kluge, who claims to be the widow of the testator. When the attorneys representing _the dissatisfied heirs asked for a continuance Reuben H. Lloyd, representing the exec- tors of the estate named in the will. ob- ected to a continuance longer than one Week. This was satisfactory to all con- | til the 6th inst. consent the | consideration of the question of spectal letters of administration was deferred un- til Thursday. There is now a three-cornered legal bat- tle to be fought over the will of the dead | millionafre, provided Mrs. Kluge stays in | —a condifion Mr. McEnerney seemed | to doubt last night in discussing the case. He said, however, that he knew of nothing that had been said or done by any of the parties looking to a compro- mise of the claims that Mrs. Kluge may | have. Nor was there any action of com- | promise undertaken on behalf of tne con- i | testants represented by Mr. Wheeler and himself. But if Mrs. Kluge does persist in her elaim that she 1s entitled to sub- stantial recognition of her children her claim, as well as the claim of the execu- tors of the will, Is to be attacked, as well as the trusts and the bequests maae to the brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces of the testator, amounting to a half mil- lion dollars. While Mrs. Dr. Emma Merritt and Charles Sutro are apparently on good ferms with the four contesting heirs they could not well have joined in the contest since Mrs. Merritt is one of the executors, and there could have been no contest had she not offered the will for probate. Mrs. Kluge is said to look upon this new ele- ment in the case as an effort to block her progress.in_making good her claims. JUMPED TO DEATH WHILE DELIROUS DAVID COBLENTZ, A SOLDIER, SPRINGS FROM A WINDOW. Had Been Suffering From Typhold and Was Taken Home Sun- day for Treatment. David Coblentz, a member of the fleld hospital corps, statloned at the Presidio, jumped from the window of his home at Page and Broderick streets last night to the sidewalk. He fell about fifty feet and was picked up unconscious: He was car- ried into the house, where he died a few inutes later. mCOblentz was taken sick with typhold fever about a week ago, and his parents obtajned a permit to have him taken home for treatment. When he was moved last Sunday he was in a high fever, but the next day he showed signs of improve- ment and hopes were held of his ultimate recovery. Tast night he seemed resting easier than ever, and the watchers withdrew for rest, leaving him in the care of a nurse. ‘At about 10 o’clock he became violent, but the nurse managed to quiet him down. In a few minutes the delirilum seized him again and he sprang out of bed. The nurse, a plucky little woman, seized him and cried loudly for help, but her efforts Were unavailing against the feverish Strength of the young soldier, who sprang to a balcony, drn‘flnz her with him. He would have carried her to death with him had it not been that his mother arrived and grasped the nurse just as Coblentz sprang to the ground. He struck on his back, fracturing his skull.

L Peach Tree, Monterey County, Aug. §, THINKS HIS PARTY WAS BETRAYED A Prominent Po;;ulist Makes Protest. A SACRIFICE OF PRINCIPLE BELIEVES IN OPPOSING THE DEMOCRATS. Refused a Fusion Nomination Be- cause an Acceptance Would Mean Surrender of Self- Respect. The manner in which the consclentious Populists of the State look upon the fusion arrangement by which their party was sold out to the Democrats through the manipulations of a few men who were seeking office and were determined to have it at any price is {llustrated by the following statement from one of the most prominent and most respected Populists in the State: Editor Call: T have been asked by some of the friends of Hon. C. A. Barlow why I cast my lot with the middle-of-the-road or straight Populists at Sacramento, and why I accepted their nomination for Con- gress in the Sixth District against the said C. A. Barlow, the incumbent, who was elected as a Populist two years ago. As there may be others who would like to | know, a few of my reasons will be given in the following article: It is deemed a sacred right belonging to every man, no matter to what political party he may belong, to oppose by every honorable means at his command every other political party, and it is the duty of | every party to sustain its members in the exercise of this right. No action had by any convention or party trenching upon this right can bind its individual members without thelr co; sent, even though such action be sanc- tioned by a majority of such convention ! T party. This right from the very nature of | things is inherent in the individual, and is | not subject to majority rules. It is so | sacred that any Infringement upon it by any party convention, no matter by what majority thereof, {s in derogation of the spirit and policy of our Government and subversive of every principle of political ethics and public morals. The convention held at Los Angeles Oc- tober 22, 1891, which first organized the People’s party in the State of California, and in which I participated, guaranteed to every man who should become a mem- ber a free and unincumbered political home, free rom the domination or in- fluence of the old Yflrtl(‘s, both of which were by this as well as bf’ all subsequent People’s party conventions most ve- hemently denounced as belng antagonistic to the best interests of the common peo- | ple of this commonwealth and unworthy of public confidence. The People's party was built up under this guarantee, and | under this opposition to the dishonored old parties. Any disregard or sacrifice of this principle by any faction of the Peo- le’s party should be considered by its oyal members as an abandonment of its organization and a sacrifice of its princi- ples—a bolt—and I believe any court of Justice would so hold. Fusion as consummated at Sacramento by a domineering faction of the People’s party was theoretically, practically and | to all intents and purposes a surrender of the party and its principles to the Democratic ?nr‘)’. and 1, a Populist, could not and would not become a party to such action, preferring to stand with my own party and nominate a regular, straight, middle-of-the-road People’s Tty ticket as distinguished from the fusion ticket. This convention was pleased to tender me the nomination for Congress for the Sixth District. I accepted. would have declined and gladly have presented the name of the said Hon. C. A. Barlow had he remained loyal to the People's party and its principles, but it was my under- standing then, and it still is, that he had measurably abandoned both party and principle. It is a grlnclple of Populism incorpo- rated in both our National and State platforms that office holders shall not participate in making such platforms, in shaping our party policy, nor in any way manipulating nominating conventions. Mr. Barlow unquestionably used, ac- tively, his personal and official influence to bring about a fusion between the Popu- list and Democratic parties, thereby deny- ing to every conscientious Populist his guaranteed right to oppose the Demo- cratic party or brand him as a bolter for 80 doing. Mr. Barlow accepted an appointment as a member of the Natlonal Congressional Committee for the State of California. Mr. Barlow participated in holding con- | ferences with the officers of other politi- cal parties while In Congress. Mr. Barlow has been publicly charged, and it has not been denied so far as I know, with having .Yamcmmed with oth- ers in issuing an address advising Popu- lists to unite with the Democrats on a platform other than any heretofore adopt- ed by any National or State People’s Par- ty_Convention. Mr, Barlow participated in the meeting of the Natlonal committee of the Peo- ple’s party at Omaha in June of this year, all of which is in flagrant violation of the principles of the party that honored him with a seat in Congress. By these acts the servant has sought to become the master. I do not impugn Mr. Barlow’s honesty, his intentions may have been good all through, but no amount of good inten- tions will suffice to cover up or counteract the Injurious effects of his abandonment of Fflnclple. Mr. Barlow cannot plead in extenua- tion a lack of knowledge on the subject, for such ignorance would be fatal, nor is the fact that others have been fumy of the same errors any defense in his case. The fundamental principles relative to the inherent and guaranteed rights of members of the People’'s party are of vital importance and are necessarily in- volved in the question of fusion, some li tle skimming editors, whq never get b low the surface of any subject they aspire to treat, to the contrary notwith- standing. If a political party desires to disband it has the unquestioned right to do so, but no party has the right or the power to commit its members to the support of any other party. Such right belongs to th! individual member and to him alone and cannot be honestly delegated or sur- Tendered. . 1 say to my People’'s party brethren of this State, if you would have People's arty principles prevall, you must stand grmly by the party and jealously guard the principles upon which it is founded, until they triump throughout the land. Keep forever In your mind these facts and axioms: The solving of new problems requires new forces; no party having once become corrupt can ever become a true reform party—it has not the power, if it would, to purify itself: reforms must come, i at all, from a new organization— free from such dominant and corruptin influences as now handicap both the ol D’ii’i"i.i‘ibi‘bii‘,l"B"?.i’)’.’CU??”’“’?D’;???’)??’?i? TRPRPRRRVPRPIPRR R TP VIR PS PP IR R RV PP PR R P PRI VIV PRI IRV R PRSP PY parties. 3 Tor the People's party to fuse with an old party at this time Is destructive to its existence. Every Populist leader, in- cluding my friend, Mr. Barlow, have all along sald that the Democratic party is a party of pledge breakers and spoilsmen, corrupt to the core. For us Populists now to combine or fuse with it for purposes of reform would be stultifying oursel and placing our party in the same category with t?u disreputable old parties. The world would say and justly, too, that we were insincere, that we were frauds, that our pretentlons of reform were deceptions, our opposition to the old ties, and_their practices is a sham, a elusion and a snare, that we were false to our own teaching and were after office and pelf only. It must be apra«renl to all observin men that fusion {s based solely upon Ioe& and individual selfishness—a basis upon which no party can stand or ought to long survive. LANDRUM, 1as. | THE EMPORIUM.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, s 8 Broadway, Aug. 30. The County Central Committee of the People’s party will meet to-morrow night, and the most prominent question before it will be that of making an indepenuent campaign or fusing with the Democrats. Opinion {s not unanimous and there are those who hold up the horrible example of fusion two years ago as a reason why it should not be again attempted. It is probable that at the meeting a committee will be appointed to sound the Democrats on the subject, o as to get a basis upon which to outline the county campaign. Just three weeks from to-day the Re- publicans will meeet in this city to name a complete county and legislative ticket. Next Saturday the County Central Com- mittee will meet to decide the method of calling the convention and of electing the delegates. There is just a suspicion that many plans will be upset at this meeting. All the politiclans of the old school have been laying their plans on a supposition that the ward and township plans will be followed. Some members of the County Committee are in favor of following the plan of electing from Assembly districts, such as was followed at the last two primaries. Should this be done it will mean a complete split-up of the present political lines and would on the whole be a good thing for the party. It is not known how the County Committee stands in point of numbers on this subject. It is sald that of the thirteen members six fa- vor one plan, six another, while the odd member is in doubt. A quiet little scheme is being worked to put to the test the sincerity of Justice Wood. A few weeks ago Judge Wood de- clared that his office Wl Cimse salary pald mm is wasted an: :g:E Ittheshouldnbepaboli:hed. He also de- clared that it would be no use in his resigning, because the Supervisors would undoubtedly elect some one else to the vacancy. The proposition now is to in- duce the Supervisors to pass a resolution declaring that should Judge Wood resi they would not appoint any one to the place. Two Supervisors have already ex- ressed their approval of this plan, and f a third vote can be obtained the Teso- jution will undoubtedly pass. after which it is presumed tne Justice will resign. A rumor was circulated last night that Councilman H. B. Rowe of the Seventh Ward would come out as a dark rse against Frank Jordan for the nom! tion for County Clerk. Mr. Rowe dented this to-day, and sald that he is not seek- ing a county nomination. It is generally understood that Mr. Rowe will not re- fuse the nomination for Mayor next spring, should the opportunity to accept it _be presented. ‘There wiil be 207 delegates to the county convention made up as follows: First Ward, 19; Second Ward, 24; Third Ward, 22; Fourth Ward, 21; ¥ifth Ward,17; Sixth Ward, 16; Seventh Ward, 26; Brookl Township, 13; ameda Township, 42; Oakland Township, 18; Berkeley, 30; Mur- ray Township, 14; Washington Township, 17; Eden Township 18. Other candidates are being heard from in different parts of the city. Dr. W. H. Blood of West Oakland is now making a strong fight for the nomination for Cor- oner. Dr. Blood has for some years been prominent in politics, and is able to put up an effective campalgn. John F. Teague, who has held office in the past, would like to be the Assembly- man from the Forty-ninth District. Teague has lived in that district thirty- elght_years, and whenever he has run for office has always landed three or four hundred votes ahead of his ticket.
