down to the contests of Joseph Huber,
jr., all others being withdrawn.
In this contest the petitioner declares
that Mrs. Huber had been under the
almost exclusive control OF DIR. +. p
Howard and his wife, Caroline Howard,
her daughter, for several years before
her death, and that she was unduly in
fluenced by them; also that Mrs. Huber
was not capable of executing a valid will
owing to bodily and mental ailments
1t alleged that she was born in Germany
in 1911. could not read and write English
and attacked the validity of the will on
all these grouds.
Although Charles Edward Huber, son
of the deceased. had withdrawn his con-
test, he was called as a witness by the
contestant. He testified that his mother
was mentally weak, as well as physical
ly, for four or five years before her death
and that he regarded her as so unsound
mentally that she could not execute {,
will legally.
Huber developed bitter feeling
against DIR. Howard and said that his
mother, who had lived at the DOCTOR,
house for many years, was completely
under their control. and that he abused
her worse than dog. He never saw her
sign her name In his life. and she was not
competent to transact business. She
thought she was, but, according to the
witness, was not. DR.. Howard always
attended to her affairs, and would abuse
her.
The bases for the contest were

LONG BEACH DISINCORPORATION
The Case Will Have to Be 1rIei on Its
Merits

The Case Will Have to Be 1rei on Its
Merits
Judge Clark yesterday rendered de-
cision in the demurrer to the answer to
the alternating, writ issued in the Long
Beach disincofporation case on August
10th. The court holds it to be plain that
when the statute says that the board of
trustees of a town of the sixth class
shall call an election upon a petition
signed by not less than a of the quail
fled electors as shown by the vote cast
at the last municipal election, it does not
mean that not less than "A of the iden-
tical voters who voted at such preceding
election, must sign such petition, but
only that such preceding election may
be referred to for determining the vot-
ers in such municipal corporation, and
If the petition presented be signed by
qualified electors thereof equal or eX-
ceeding one-fourth of such number, it
is the duty of the trustees to proceed to
act.
The court holds as untenable and alb
surd the position that the fact of the
requisite number of names to the peti-
ton calling the election had been sign
ed, was not proven when the election
was called.
The demurrer Is by the court over
ruled and proof in the case ordered to
be taken.
The courts demurrer practically de-
clares the law under which the disincor-
poration election was held to be uncon-
stitutional.

the granting of the petition, saying that
the people in the neighborhood We're op-
posed to it, and that having just got rid
of one nuisance, in the shape of an oil
refinery, they did not want anything
else of the sort. General Pierce asked
that the matter be deferred to give him
an opportunity to present protest, and
his request was granted. When the mat

Judge Clark yesterday dismissed with

probate Of the will. The two latter were
witnesses to its signature by Mrs. Huber
in the office of Senator Stephen M. White
in 1894. They testified that she signed
the instrument in their presence, after
which they signed it. They stated that
she signed the document without duress.
and in their opinion was of sound mind
at the time.
Mrs. Huber was over so years old at
the time of her death, in August 1895
and left property valued at about $50

Childs, and left number of heirs, some

Judg. Clark Takes an Important Ruling in
the Long Beach Disinoo orporation Case,
Which Must Be Tired on Its
ncrits-Other Legal News

Miss A. T.. HotchlSiss of Pasadena has
a large-sized grievance, the cause of her
wrath geing that she has meen most
grievously wronged, abused and swim
died by a concern styling itself the Ma
tional Liquor Cure company. This insti-
tuition, or rather its local representatives
who are alleged to have been George b.
Simpson and j. F. Hight, on April 10Th
last, placed an advertisement in the local
papers to the effect that the advertisers
wanted partner in a paying business
proposition that would stand close in
Vestigation.
Miss Hotchkiss says. in a suit for dam
ages which she has brought, that the lit
tie adlet was called toher attention by
friend. Being unmarried and possessed
of some menas and leisure time, she de-
termined to inquire into the matter. on
April 21st she received letter signed
j. p. Hight & Co., and dated at No 1928
South Broadway, setting forth the great
opportunities there were in the proposed
investment. All that j. p. Hight & Co.
wanted was a suite of offices furnished
in proper style.
The lady from Pasadena was informed
that the National Liquor Cure company
had an antidote for inebriety in which
there was a fortune for its lucky pro-
moters. The cure could be used at home
and caused no loss of time or inconven-
ience to the patient 1t was to be put up
in one gallon jugs and would require
from one to one and one half gallons to
effect a cure.
1t was proposed to charge each patient
using the cure $35, which it was stated,
left no after effect upon patients as the
keeley cure does in a majority of cases.
D. Z. Hight a. Co. did not want any money
placed in their hands. All they were
after was a personal interview.
Miss Hotchkiss declares that she called
upon Hight & Co., where she was intro
duced to one George II. Wood an al
legged physician, who informed her that
he was the patentee of the National Lii
quor Cure and as such, he had trans
ferred the right for the medicine to
Hight q Co. AS a result of these inter-
views, the plaintiff AYERS that she was
prevailed upon to purchase a one
third interest in the gold cure, for which
she paid the sum of S40O in cash. This
money was deposited in the Los Angeles
National bank and the male end of the
new co-partnershp at once proceeded
to draw against it. 1t was stipulated in
the agreement made between all of the
parties that the $400 should go towards
office expenses. and If any of it weO left
after thirty days. it was to go to Mrs.
Hotchkiss. The latter insists that the
medicine and the partnership which she
purchased, were both fraud and she
now asks for her $400 and $50 additional
which she thinks she earned tending
office for one month for j. p. Hight &
Co. She also wants a receiver appoint
ed for the partnership and the sum of
$71,15 which is still in the bank. all that
is left of her original cash investment of
