WILL FIGHT IT OUT.
Stanford Estate to Ste!nly Resist
the Government Claim.
Suits Success May, It Is Said,
Leave The Widow PenniIc SIS.
And Might Even BE the Ruin of the
Stanford University.
tBy Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO June 6.-The claim
for SIS. 900. 600. flied against the Stanford
estate by Attorney-General Olney. as a
preliminary step to force the Govern
ment's claim against the original hold
ers OF the Central Pacific grant. has
caused the greatest excitement.
1t IL now learned that the Govern
ment's claim was presented May rs, but
that an attempt was made to keep the
proceeding secret In order that the finan-
clal operations Of the estate need not
be embarrassed.
The late Senator Stanford's estate
was recently appraised at $l7, GOO, 600.
Since the appraisement heavy obliga-
lions have been met, and II Ia stated
now that the enforcement OF the Gov
eminent claim would practically wipe
out the estate, not only leaving the
widow penniless, but cutting Off all the
benefciaries under the late Senator's
will. including the endowment OF s., 500. coo
to the Stanford University.
1t Is even said that the estate. after
debts, may not equal the amount OF the
calm OF the Government. In this event,
Senator Stanford's deed OF trust under
which Stanford University was founded.
would not stand, In case the decision of
the courts should be in favor OF the
Government, and the University would
necessarily be sacrificed to satisfy the
judgment.
Mrs. Stanford, In an interview, has
stated that the Governments claim will
be resisted to the fullest extent Of her
ability. She regards the proceedings In
the nature of a test case. and was not
surprised at the filing OF the claim.
Further than these statements she would
not talk.
An Idea of the probable defense was
given last night by Mr.. Wilson, Mrs.
Stanford's attorney. In an interview he
said: ''The opinion Of the A~ttorney-Gen-
eral of the United States Is entitled to
a great dea OF consideration. but he IL
proceeding on a wrong assumption.
am free to say that I do not think the
Government will ever be able to collect
anything from the estate of the late
Leland Stanford.
1.-The Government issued the bonds to
aid in the construction OF the Central
Pacific Railroad. but neither Mr.. Stan
ford nor any n else ever agreed to
pay the Government back. The bonds
operate as n second mortgage. II is not
a debt, and while the Attorney-General
is perfectly right that In California the
members Of a corporation are personally
responsible for the debts of a orpora-
ton. he Is wrong In assuming that the
mortgage Is a debt"

pany's chief counsel, gave a similar ex-
