Suilivan, The testatrix devises her entire estate to her daughters, Ada and Gertrude, | explaining her reasons for disinheriting. her sons in the following paragraph: “I purposely ignore my sons, John and William, and daughter, Mrs. Kate Plum, not because I love them the less, but because I feel that they are quite able to take care of themselves.” The contestants allege that the will, which bears the “mark” of the testa- trix, was not legally executed by her nor signed in her presence.

Adams, 581 Sixth street, reported to the police on Friday night that she had been attacked and robbed of her purse, containing 95 cents, by some small boys on Clara street, be- tween Fifth and Sixth. George Petty, 439% Clementina street, picked up the purse and turned it over to the police, Detectives Regan and O’Connell, who were detailed on the case, reported that Mrs. Adams was not attacked by boys, but dropped her purse while 'she was under the influence of liquor. e, ¢ A few left $2.00 at DEMANDS MEDICAL FEE.—] winckel filed suit e B against Edward 8.

Office RUEF SUPPORTS SYKES Police Board’s President R Superintendent of Schools Roncovieri did not announce the name of his new deputy yesterday. but the politial gossips still stick to their prediction that Reg- inald H. Webster will get the appoint- ment in a few days. Webster was for- merly Superintendent of Schools and was defeated three years ago by William H. Langdon, who is now District Attorney. Webster is thoroughly famillar with the business of the Superintendent’s office, having had several years' experience therein. It is sald that the only reason why Webster has not already recelved his ap- pointment is that Abe Ruef is insisting on the appointment of James B. Sykes and that Superintendent Roncovieri has so far refused to acqulesce in Ruef’s desire. Sykes was recently appointed.vice princi- pal of the Commercial High School, but is after higher honors fin the Public School Department. The situation is somewhat similar to that of the re-election of Police Commis- sione~ Poheim as president of that body, despite the fact that Abe Ruef had pub- licly announced that Commissioner Drink- house would get the honor. Poheim se- cured the vote of Commissioner 0'Grady and beat his friend Ruef at his own game. Now Ruef wants Sykes for Deputy Su- perintendent of Schools, and Superintend- ent Roncovieri does not want Sykes. If Roncovier! does not yield Webster will get the plum and Ruef will have the pleasure of having been twice beaten in his en- deavors to land his favorites in high of- fice. The Mayor has not vet announced the pame of the successor to George Keane as secretary. The latter's brother Theodore is still a strong candidate and may yet win out. Thomas E. Atkinson says he does not want the place, despite rumors to that effect. Atkinson expects to be | put to work soon by the administration | experting the bocks and records of the city, for which $8600 is available. RS SR S TURKEY’S CO 'L GENERAL DEFENDANT IN A LAWSUIT | | Secretary of Phelan Estate Files Ac- tion to Foreclose a Chattel Mertgage. C. O. Hall, the prominent clubman and Consul General of 7Turkev, was | made the defendant in an action filed | yesterday by Thomas Mahony, secre- | tary of the Phelan estate, to foreclose | a chattel mortgage on the furnishings and bric-a-brac in the home of the de- | fendant at 1931 Webster street.

Scharrenberg, a seaman, was reundly rebuked by Judge Hebbard yes- terday morning, when through Attorney Albert Fuhrman he sought to override the recommendations of United States Secret Service Agent Richard H. Taylor that his naturalization papers be canceled. Taylor and J. W. Danks of the Shipping Commissioner’s office testified that Schar- renberg had resided in California less than a year when he secured his papers, and that In consequence they were fraud- ulently obtained. Attorney Fuhrman con- tended that the court had no autherity to cancel the papers, but Judge Hebbard held otherwise and said: “I want to tell you and the people of the country that a man who secures his naturalization papers by fraud is gullty of treason—not petty treason, but actual high treason. When such a case 1s brought before me—when I see a man who seeks to become a citizen by a lie—I shall revoke his papers at once. More, all such matters should be relegated to the United States courts, where they are more strict and careful and where they have a wider jurisdiction. The time has come in the history of this country, which is sheltering aliens from all parts of the globe, when the proud privilege of Ameri- can citizenship should be placed on merit. I have refused men who could not speak English. I have known them to go to other departments of this court and get naturalized. You have received this privilege, and I ask you to be loyal to the allegiance you have sworn. 1 have ‘overruled your point that I have no juris- diction in the premises. Don't raise it again. 1 wish I had the power to impose a long term of imprisonment.” —_—e————— Four Prisoners Senteneed. Four prisoners were Sentenced by Judge Dunne yesterday.
