THE LEAGUE MAY NAME HIM
PROSPECT OF THERE BEING TOO
 MANY PERFORMERS.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call

90S Broadway, Dec. 29.
 Auditor Snow is modest. Ills modesty for eight years has been the means or hls election and reelection as City Assessor. MT. Snow 1t Is said, has never sought an office but fate has been good and the of fee has gone to him.
 Auditor Snow has long been recognized as one of the logical candidates for Mayor Two years ago he could have had the nomination at the hands of the Re publican delegates by asking for it. But his modesty forbade him. MT. Snow was asked to-day what he thought of him. self as a candidate for Mayor and he re- piled:
 If the citizens of Oakland were adver- Using for a general manager l would not hesitate to apply for the place. The office of Mayor Is, unfortunately for the tax payers, quite another thing. If however, the citizens of Oakland want me to serve them in any capacity and will say so with fair degree of unanimity 1 will serve them"
 The Municipal League is now taking the preliminary steps toward calling its con- Vention. None of the delegates are yet known, but its candidate for Mayor will be either John F. Towle or R. W. Snow, with Giles H. Gray and Fred V. Wood as possibilities.
 It is probable that in nearly all the wards there will be little gatherings of citizens of every political creed to decide on their candidates for Councilmen. The Fifth Ward has set the example by agree ing upon Frank M. Parcels, who was the Republican nominee two years ago, and who was beaten through the action of another Republican, who ran independ ently and split the party vote.
 This method of obtaining candidates is similar to that followed by the Municipal League in principle, and unless the league shall indorse candidates so chosen 1t is possible that there may two reform candidates where one would be safer and more acceptable.
 So far none of the regular parties have done anything, but assert that they are thinking the matter over. The Republi- can City Central Committee will meet next week, and it is possible that the members will decide as to whether the convention shall be called by primaries or by the appointment of delegates. Street Superintendent Miller, as fore cast in The Call last week, has announce ed himself as being positively out for the nomination of City Engineer. It is very probable that he will be the candidate of the Municipal League Mir Dow cer- tainly will be for City Attorney. Candt- dates are cropping up in all directions, many of them being unable to shake off the habit of having themselves mentioned for any old thing every time an election apprOaches

KIRcHoFER5s TROUBLES.
Does Not Want His Wife to Secure
 Divorce

OAKLAND. Dec. 29.-In the divorce suit of Christina Kirchofer of Alameda against Gustav Kirchofer, defendant this afternoon filed an answer denying the all legations of assertion and failure to pro- vide. Mir. Kirchofer does not propose to allow his wife to secure a decree without a bitter contest. The parties have been married about two years and have child aged nine months. They formerly re- sided in Mendocino County. where they own a homestead, but according to MT: Kirchofer's statement country life proved 500 dull and uninteresting for the wife and she induced him to locate in Ala meda
 Then the trouble began. The little money saved on the Mendocino property soon vanished. and 1t became necessary for the husband to seek employment else where. He went to Los Angeles. re- maming there four months. but without securing work. He alleges that he is still in pursuit of employment and that he has registered letter receipts showing that he frequently sent home money. al- though recently the court allowed plain tiff sl5 monthly for her support.

AEBIS AGAIN AT WAR.
The Renewal of Sensational Divorce
 Case.

OAKLAND Dec. 2a.-Divorce proceed ines were again instituted late this after noon between Frederick Aebi and his wife, Katherine Aebi. The parties reside in Berkeley, and were married in the early part of 1897.
 About a year ago Mrs. Aebi sued for divorce, alleging cruelty as the ground of action. The ease was tried before Supe- rior Judge Hall. and the specific allega- tions of cruelty were of such a nature and the testimony so sensational that the case was tried behind closed doors. Attorneys Harris and Hess of San Fran cisco fought the divorce bitterly on be- half of the defendant, and Judge Hall finally refused to grant decree
 In complaint for divorce filed by liar Tis and Hess late this afternoon their client, Frederick Aebi, alleges desertion. and another season of sensational testi- mony is expected when the case comes on for trial for it is stated that the wife sun contends that she had good grounds Tor divorce and is opposed to allowing decree.

ROGERS IS DISAPPOINTED
HE WOULD LIKE TO TELL HIS
 STORY UNDER OATH.
Hellar Said to Be Merely & Nominal Contestant in the Hands of His Vindictive
 Friends
Oakland Office San Francisco Call

90S Broadway, Dec. 29.
 Sam Hellar's election contest has been thrown out of court by Judge Ogden on the ground that 1t was not filed within the forty-day limit required by law
 When the petition of Hellar for a cita- ton to issue against Rogers was brought up, his attorneys at once declared that the law Is very specific in regard to the time within which election contests must be filed. Attorney Lin Church declared that the election returns were filed No Vember 14, and forty days from that date would be December 24. The action was not commenced until December 2. No other argument was made by Rogers attorneys.
 Attorney Sawyer. representing Hellar, stated that the time limit clause in the law is a disputed point, as the law did not specifically designate when the election returns were received. He argued that the present contest Is plainly within the Jurisdiction of the court.
 Judge ogden did not agree with 1tellar attorney, and said that the last uay Le- quired by law for the presentation or the election returns was November 44 lie cited the case of Carlson Vs. Burke, which bears directly upon the matter. He con cluded by saving that as the action was brought three days too late 1t was need less for the court to fix date for It's hearing, and the application would De denied. HellarS attorneys were permit ted to record an exception.
 Sherif-elect Rogers says that II It were not a useless proceeding entirely he would like the matter to be heard in court. for 1t would give him an opportunity to tell under oath his side of the interesting story. Rogers declares that the whole thing is a conspiracy engineered by some friends of Hellar and says that sam is merely being used as an instrument in others hands to try to throw mud upon his (Rogers) political career.
 Rogers is positive that he did not make Q single promise before his election. and declares that neither Dr. Derrick nor any other of Hellar's friends can show proof to the contrary.
 Rogers attorneys are considerably amused at the peculiar confession made by Hellar in his action. Hellar admits that he was a party to the same alleged illegal transaction for which he seeks to have MT. Rogers punished, and that he Is therefore liable to conviction for felony: if the facts to which he confesses could be proved by evidence other than his own MT. Hellar has been talking for some weeks about his grievance and the opin- ion has been expressed that 1t was not altogether accidental that he filed his ap- plication too late for 1t to be heard, and that the purpose was more to cast an as persion on Rogers than to promote the cause of justice and purity of elections.

MRS. SUSAN BARLOW'S WILL. Prospects of Friction Among Chil- dren of the Deceased

ALAMEDA, Dec. 29.-There is a pros pect of friction among the children of the late Mrs. Susan Barlow over the disposi- ton of her estate. She left property val ued at about s1OO00, consisting of the Loyal Oak Hotel and furniture. The de- ceased made will in 1896, naming her son, Albert Barlow, and daughter, Mary Wallace, eXecutor and eXecutriX. In this document she devised her estate to her four children, share and share alike.
 Subsequently she sought to avoid the expense of probate proceedings by exc cutting deeds to the property. The deeds were placed in the hands of Thomas A. Smith, but 8 few weeks before Mrs. Bar lows last illness she recalled them and made a codicil to her will In which she revoked the nomination of her son as eX- ecutor, beoueathed her piano to her daughter, Mrs. Wallace, besides giving her the free use of the hotel and furniture during the period the estate is In probate.
 It Is over this latter clause that the heirs are clashing. Mrs. Wallace is per fectly satisfied with it's provisions, but her brothers and sisters do not take to 1t kindly. They insist that the deeds to the property were not destroyed, but are still in existence, and that they take precedence over the will. They will not consent to the probating of the will until a thorough search has been made for the deeds.
