The Merritt children are to have a guar- dfan, but it will not be Horace W. Phil- brook. So decided Judge Sweeney this afternoon. “1 am of the opinion that the Merritt children are in need of a guardian,” said the court. “But he must be some one other than this petitioner. I do not consider Mr. Philbrook a proper person, as hg is antagonistic to all the parties in this mat- ter and certain courts of this State. I would suggest that nominations for a guardian be made now."” Attorney Emil Nusbaumer then pro- posed the names of John R. Glascock and Willlam R. Davis, but both declined. It was then agreed after some talk to leave the selection of a guardian to the four Judges of the Alameda County Superior Court.
