AN OIL coMPANY's CASE.
The Case OF Rich Ardson vs.. the Sunset
10 Company Decided Yesterday.

The Case of Rich Ardson vs.. the Sunset
Company Decided Yesterday.
Judge E VI Ross yesterday, in the
United States circuit court, handed
down an opinion in the case of Nina
Richardson Hardee ct al. vs. The Sun
set Oil company.
Itwas suit brought by the heirs OF
Cosmo B. Richard son, deceased, to en-
join the defendants from proceeding
to sell certain shares OF the stock of the
defendant company owned by Richard
son at the time of his death for delin.
quent assessment thereon, and to annul
a resolution passed by the board of di-
rectora fixing the salaries of certain of
its officers, and to procure the appoint
ment OF receiver to take possession of
the corporation because OF alleged
fraudulent mismanagement of its affairs
by the directors.
The mines are in the Oamulos Petrol
cum mining district Ventura county,
in section IL and the southeast quarter
OF section IL, township north, range
10 west. They were originally sold by
Richardson to the gentlemen who incor-
porated under the name of the Sunset
Oh company, and conducted successful
Development OF the oil territory. The heirs
of Richardson claim that he should be
entitled to larger interest than he was
given, but the court in the course of the
opinion holds differently. It is also held
that apart from a loose and careless
manner of keeping the books, no evil
dence OF Observation-Disclosures on the part
OF the directors is discovered other than
an assessment, which was paid, but the
amounts afterwards returned to the
stockholders, and the voting OF the sal
aries complained of. In regard to the
latter, it is found that while they were
voted, and the voting was void, still thev
did not draw or attempt to draw them,

view of all the facts, does not feel that
it would be justified in appointing re-
ceiver, even if authorized to do so in and
bv its final decres in the causa.

rHE ocIER WILL CASE.

Judge Clark Sustains Mrs. Shorb's Pc
titfon.
Judge Clark, in department No. Of
the superior court. yesterday rendered q
decision in the contest for letters OF ad-
ministration upon the estate of Mrs.
Anna Ogier, deceased, in accordance
with quite long opinion.
For the better understanding OF the
case it may be stated that Mrs. Ogier
left will which was filed for probate
March Oath last. By its provisions Mrs.
j. de Barth Shorb was appointed execu-
trix, without bond, and also contained
a clause stating that the testatrix select
ed as the attorney of the estate John
W Mitchell well-known attorney OF
Los Angeles, and directed her to en-
ploy him in all matters pertaining to
the distr button OF the estate and the
requirements of the will
Under the provisions of the will Mrs.
Shorb applied for letters OF administra-
tion, but employed as attorneys Messrs.
Graves, O'Melveny & Shankland, in
stead of Mr.. Mitchell. Thereupon Mr..
Mitchell also filed petition for letters,
asking that joint letters be issued to
Mrs. Shorb and himself, and that he be
declared and entered as attorney of rec
ord for the estate.
The controversy, as Judge Clark says
in the course of his opinion. was as to
what rights, if any, Mr.. Mitchell has
under the will of the deceased. Holding
that the petition OF Mr.. Mitchell is not
tenable, the court proceeds to discuss
the matter. He says there is no such
officer as attorney of the estate" known
to the law governing the administration
of estates of decedents.
The question was, does the will show
an intention on the part OF the testatrix
to commit to John w. Mitchell its ex-
ecution and administration of the es-
tate? and this the court says can re-
ceive but one answer. and that in the
negative. He is of opinion that the at
torney is charged with no duty in rela-
tion to the estate that can be performed
only by an executor or that would re-
quire letters of testamentarv to be is-
sued to him. The court does not con-
slider it necessary TO pass at this time on
the question as to whether or not the
direction in the will that the execu-
trix shall consult with an attorney
selected by Mrs. Ogier, in making sales
of property. ia limitation on the power

THE EXISTING DEPRESSION.

About the most sapient piece of Informal
tion the public has lately been afforded is
the statement of an evening paper that "ln-
telligent men understand that much OF the
existing depression is due TO the fact not
that there are to be changes In the tariff,
but to the uncertainty as to what those
changes are to be-" The writer could safely
have ventured a step further and assured
the public that "the existing depression" was
evidently not caused by the present tariff, as
there was no appearance Of 1t till the coun-
try learned that both houses of Congress
as well as the President were Democratic.
Then 1t was that the uncertainty" ensued
and the trouble began. The logic of this
bit of important information is,
furthermore, that IL the changes"
were likely TO be in the direc-
ton OF ability to maintain wages and rea-
sonable income on capital invested. there
would not be ''much Of the existing depres-
sion" The whole paragraph is unique.
both in its broad concessions and in the as
sumption that the public just now needed
its qualifying conclusions as to the ''uncer-
tainty'' about what the changes were
to be, concluding with the advice that the
Republican members OF Congress ought not
TO hinder the Wilson bills passage. which
embraces the very changes that have
wrought the existing depression" If both
labor and capital know what they are now
declaring.
The probabilities are that the Republican
members of Congress will do all they can
legitimately to defeat the policy which they
failed to defeat at the last election. since
the identical disaster has come upon the
country which 1t was then warned would
come, and in the very way then pointed
out. If they shall fail to accomplish the de-
feat of the Wilson bill. then our contempt
rary will be afforded brief period I'm which

information for it's present stock of theory
