much MONEY INVOLVED,
Rosine Grants Contest of the
Will of Her Sister. Caro-
line Vetter.
1t Is Claimed That the Testator Was
of Unsound Mind and Acted
Under DuresS.

Rosine Grant. sister of Caroline Vetter,
has filed contest to the probate of the
will OF her sister, who died in June, 1896.
On June % f. J. Vetter, who claims to be
a grandson of the deceased, filed docu-
ment purporting to be her last will and
testament, by the terms of which about
all her property was bequeathed to f. ].
Vetter.
The property in question consists of a
piece of improved real estate on Market
street, south of Sixth. and of a residence
on Fell street. When Caroline Vetter's
will was filed it was stated that her entire
property consisted of clothing valued at
$40. In the will. however, she disposed of
the property mentioned. It was developed
that while the will was made in 1894, in
February of this year Mrs. Vetter had
made deed of gift to f. ]. Yetter convey
ing the property to him.
The contest filed by Rosine Grant con-
tains some pc culiar allegations. Mrs.
Grant resides in Stanislaus County. She
claims that Mrs. Vetter died intestate and
that she left no husband, father, mother,
or issue; that Frederick J. Vetter is not
the son of Louise Caroline Vetter and not
the grandson of decedent, but that Mrs.
Grant Is her only relative.
1t IS alleged that the document filed for
probate is not the last will of deceased, be-
cause at the time it was made decedent
was not o. sound or disposing mind and
was incompetent to make will that de-
cedent then had in mind to make other
disposition of her property; that if Caro-
line Vetter signed the document filed she
did so under menace, influence and threats,
exercised and made by Frederick J. Vetter
ana ofner parties at his instigation and
procurement.
Rosine Grant therefore prays that the
will be not admitted to probate. She has
already put in a petition asking that N.
Jacobs be appointed administrator of the
estate, which is worth about $75, 900.

SCHULLER'S FORGER|ES.
The Young Poolroom Plunger
and His Mad Extrava-
gance.
One of His Victims is John C. Hughes.
The Culprit Has Dis.
appeared.

Norman Schulier, who victimized At
torney John G. Hughes out of 5000, used
the names of other people in his peculiar
way of gaining wealth. Not only did he
write the signatures of Patrick and Bar
ney Murphy and their sister, Mrs. R. T.
Carroll, to his fraudulent paper, but it is
thought that there are a number of other
persons in Oakland who will hear that
Schuller could use their names also. The
sums he realized on these range from $3.50
to $1,000. mostly maze on ninety-day
notes, which will mature about the end of
this month.
That young Schuller was burning money
at fierce heat was well known to many
OF his immediate associates. He sQuan-
dered coin more like a demented person
than an ordinary fast spendthrift, and he
aroused their suspicious. The more dis
Greet began to shun him, feeling that the
pace would end disastrously and disgrace
fully.
One of the num- Der who began to observe
Schuller's extravaganza was Hughes, and
his investigations revealed the young fell
lows methods. Hughes had let him have
$4,000 on note purported TO be made by
Barney d. Murphy. indorsed by Patrick
w. Murphy and Mrs. Carroll. 1t was
dated Mayo, 1896, payable in three months.
1t is believed that an investigation will
reveal that Scnuller's fraudulent transac-
tons will mount up to over $40 900, and
Hughes and the American Banking Com
pany, who holds the notes, will have to
bear the loss.
When Attorney Hughes first sus-
pected that all was not right he ques-
toned Schuller, who readily explained.
Hughes afterward concluded to get an
other explanation from the young man,
but he had disappeared and has not yet
been arrested by the detectives.
1t is thought that he had preferred to
slip away to Central America, but the ex-
pose forced him to change his mind and
he is hiding in this City or near it,
Schuller's family Is one of the best
known in Alameda County, having lived
in Oakland for many years. His father is
highly respected citizen and of sterling
principle. The young man early evinced
desire to hang around poolrooms and
race tracks and became an inveterate gam
bier at dice games and card-playing.

and surcharglng such receptacle can be
imagined. Probably there will be some
repairs upon the cracked arch. which is
cracked in many places, ana such repairs
will be effected before winter shall arrive.
The cost of these repairs cannot be esti-
mated. The persons most excited con-
cerning the sewer are the thousands of
citizens and householders to whose prem
ises the big drain is constant necessity.
The railroad company in 1895 secured a
franchise to lay its tracks from point on
its main line at the intersection of York
and Division streets and along Division to
Sixteenth, and thence across Sixteenth
along Harrison to the intersection of the
main line of the Southern Pacific Com
pany. This brings the track-laying inside
of the franchise, Division street being
also known as Channel street. The
change of tracks was brought about by
street work which caused raise of track
amounting to five feet in this distance.
The old main line ran over the Southern
Pacific Company's property until two
months ago.
The workmen who began on Tuesday to
tear down an old paint-shop and to build
new embankment are preparing 70 shift
the track back to its old location. This
will cost considerable, as the fill to be
made is quite heavy. The paint-shop has
been entirely destroyed. Men employed
by the Southern Pacific Company finally
completed the demolition yesterday after
noon. The filling has also made consider
able progress.
George w. Elder, the expert of the
Street Committee of the Board of Super
visors, received many congratulations and
not few thanks yesterday for his val
liable discovery, which was made public
as soon as he was able to verify the facts.
The public value of his services in this
important matter was fully appr eciated
and was commented upon in many
quarters.

Roaming the street, we may not look neat,
But we struggle for mother and L.
In tattered dresses, patched in a way to
darken Joseph's coat of many colors, the
Washburn sisters nightly labor for the
cause of the newsboy. Their appeal makes
up in earnestness what it may lack in
syntax.
They are at the Orpheum now, singing
their song, selling their CALLS and catch
ing the nickels and dimes which fly over
the foctlights from those in the audience
who open their pocket-b books in favor of
the waits of the street. The act is a new
one, but one which has reaped harvest of
gold in the East. and has well started on
its charitable way on this coast. AT first
it was an "act'-onIy an 'act"-which
two lively girls brought upon the stage
and carried through with all the vim and
vigor of good voices, happy dispositions
and pretty faces, but when money began
to come over the heads of the musicians.
the idea of donating the sums so received
to the newsboys themselves followed as a
natural result. Now the idea, once
second, has become first, and the papers
are cried and the song is sung for the
benefit of the little fellows VINO are so
badly in need of such substantial sympa-
thy.
The song itself is the tale of newsboy
who, torn and ragged, walks the street
home. Its parallel can be found any
where on the sidewalks, where the passing
crowd jostle the little Vender of news.
From the worn shoes to the tattered hat
the Washburn girls are true to life. Under
one arm bundle of papers, in one hand
few little coins, and-though the audience
does not know it-jingling in a pocket
suit OF previous nights before audiences
which have heard and appreciated. The
proceeds" are kept in these old pockets
they are the only portions of the dresses
guaranteed to hold together-and when
the contents grows to the limit it is turned
over to those who will see that the news
boys have the good of it. In the East one
week netted nearly $50. all in dimes and
quarters and nickels, and the season placed
over $500 to the credit of the little street
arabs. Two hundred dollars in small
change is lot of money, much more it
seems, than if it were in gold. But the
newsboys got it all, and it came like the
rain in springtime.
But there is one incongruous element in
the costume of rags and patches. On the
breast of each of the sisters CLEANS gold
medal. They were made from the first
money which q spontaneous appreciation
of the charity drew from an Eastern audi
ence, and they glitter and fash among the
rags regardless of the poverty stricken
setting.
The ''turn" will go on for the remain
der of this week, and also for next week,
or as long as the Wsshburns stay. 1t
"took" in Los Angeles, and the old pock-
cts jingle merrily in consequence. The
jingle has increased ever since their ad-
vent here, and by the time they leave the
newsboys will have something to show
for their stay. They sing the song as if
they liked it. and it is no acting, for they
do like it, and the song seldom ends with

THE GAME LAWS.
A Case of Alleged Violation to BE
Tried Next Mednesday.

A Case of Alleged Violation to BE
Tried Next Wednesday.
Next Wednesday in the Police Court Mr..
r. A. Golden, dealer iE fish and game In
the Center market, will be tried on a
charge of violating the game laws. The
charge against him is that he had exposed
for sale four quail. Under the law the
season for quail opens November l, and
the law provides penalty of IS for each
bird found III possession or exposed for
sale. Mr. Golden is sick and the case was
continued until he as able to appear in
court Although the District law pro-
hibits the sale Of certain birds at certain
seascrs of the year these birds are some
times shipped here from a distance SO that
their sale, it is claimed, does not in any
manner interfere with the birds in this sec
ton of the country except SO far as it may
in this way. The bird laws in the different
states very considerably, and although a
bird legally killed in one OF the states and
shipped here, IL it is out Of season here
the dealer is not permitted, under penalty,
to expose or sell the game. 1t is likely
that in this case the defense will set up
the plea that the birds were legally killed
and that the law here cannot interfere
with comm cree between the states in this
manner. Dealers in game are very much
interested in the case, as the result may
seriously affect their business.

TO SUCCEED BISHOP KEANE.

Three Names That May BE Presented
AT the Election Next Week.
As the time for the election Of a rector
of the Catholic University. to succeed
Bishop Keane, draws nearer interest in
the matter appears to be on the increase.
In connection with the choice Of Bishop
Keane's successor the name of the Very
Rev. Augustine F. Hewitt, superior Of the
Paulist Fathers Of New York, Is conspicu-
ously mentioned. 1t is known to be the de-
sire of the pope that the new rector should
be selected from the priesthood. and Father
Hewitt il especially qualified for the post
because OF his academic experience.
He was at one time a professor in the
university, and IL possessed of considerable
administrative ability. The Paulist Fathers
have q settlement in Washington which is
afaliated with the university. 1t is called
the College Of st. Thomas Aquinas, and
has q score Of students who attend re-
Mgious services and lectures at the univer.
sity.

UNUSUAL INTEREST
All Glasses Looking Forward to the
Hutchins-Davis Debate.
DIVIDED INTO CONFIDENT CLANS
Sketches of the Men Who Will
Fight a Duel Of Argument.
THE ARR A n G. E Me N T S

Public interest in the joint debate which
is to take place at Convention Hall tonight
between Mr.. Stilson Hutchins and Mr.. Hen
ry E. Davis is very great. The sem
timent Is not confined to any class
or either sex. Lawyers, bankers, bus
mess men, clerks, mechanics and labor
ers have all been in eager pursuit OF
admission tickets ever since the assurance
that the debate would take place has been
established, and women never displayed
more anxiety to secure matinee tickets
than they have been showing in their ac-
tivity to procure cards to Convention Hall.
For the past five days Messrs. Hutchins
and Davis and their respective representa-
tives. Messrs. Lawrence Gardner and c. ".
Gates, have been simply overwhelmed with
requests for the coveted tickets. They
have been personally pleaded with by ear
nest legions, and their mail has been load

ed down with correspondence to the same
effect. Silver and sound money men as
we'll as those who want any old thing with
a government financial promise tagged to 1t
have been counting for the favor Of admis-
sion to Convention Hall as ardently as
though they were seeking exaltation in the
hearts Of their fair ones, and the more
Jealous have even sought to purchase tick
cts at prices higher than Italian opera or
chestra stalls bring when the spectators
have looted the box office.
All Are Partisans.
All these people are divided distinctly into
two factions. The silver men and the
confident that he will simply wipe up Con-
vention Hall floor with Mr.. Davis and
leave his remains like a bedraggled dish
rag hanging over the footlights of the
stage. The sound money men and the
intimates of Mr.. Davis, on the other hand,
declare with emphasis that indicates abso-
lutte assurance that he will not do a thing
to Mr.. Hutchins but put him through an
Intellectual threshing machine and pulver-
ize him to such an extent that nothing but
the finest sort of chaff will be left.
Six or seven thousand people holding
these views with a tenacity that Is unyield-
ing will gather tonight to listen to the duel
of argument, confident In their own minds
that their particular champion will make
that cannot be assailed or controverted
even were Demosthenes to come again to
try 1t on the one or Cicero be resurrected
to attempt 1t on the other.
No other two men in Washington prob
ably are more widely known than Mr..
HUtchins and Mr.. Davis. Both have been
loLg prominent in the affairs of the COM
munity. Mr.. Hutchins is the founder Of
the Washington Post, which he began pub
fishing here in 1877. At the same time he
entered actively into other business VEN
lures here, and took his place in society.
He has bean successful in his material at
fairs, and Is generally credited with being
several times a millionaire. He Is large
and powerful of physique and active and
athletic as a youth. While he has never
figured as public speaker. he is noted for
his Intellectual ability, and Is famous as a
brilliant conversationalist and after-dinner
talker. He has been a democrat all his
life and an equally firm believer in the
double standard Of metal money.
Mr.. Davis is a much younger man than
Mr.. Hutchins, and is a native Washington
ian From his earliest boyhood ne showed
evidences of mental attachments Of a high
character. and a thorough education, re-
ceived at the best schools and universities
where he reaped honors unstinted, added
fine accomplishments to his already rare
