To Show Princess HatzfeIdt

San Francisco, June lever since
mention was made several months ago
that secret search had been made of
the records of Sacramento county to
determine if there was a record of the
adoption of Princess Eatzfeldt by the
late Coils p Huntington, there have
been persistent runors that the prin-
cess has in contemplation a contest OF

the arrival of Prince hatfield and the
Princess Hatzfeldt on this coast and
the fact that the princess has gone to
Sacramento ostensibly to visit her
mother. The princess, however, dis

New York, and his presence here at this
time has accumulated the report that
legal proceedings of some sort are in
contemplation. To all inquiries Red
ding persistently1 replies that he knows
nothing of his clients intentions H. this
regard, while the prince contents him
self with the declaration that he has
nothing to give out at present.
It is pointed out that such a contest
would present unusual difficulty, for
in order to have the will declared in
valid it would be necessary to show
that Hun tingtOn was of unSOund mind
at the time he made the will, OF that
he was under undue influence. or that
the will was forged.
The will was executed about two
years before Huntington's death Then
there is the additional fact that the
Princess Hatfield was mentioned in
the will and was provided for by giving
her the interest on 81, 000, 600 during her
life time, the principal to go to her

can not therefore rely on a claim of
being a pretermitted child, even if she
should produce documentary evidence
of her adoption in regular legal form
It is estimated that the Huntington
estate has increased forty per cent since
his death. 1t is in the question of
residuary 1egateeship that there rests
bitterness which may force the bringing
of a contest, for Henry E. Huntington
it is possible that he may receive over
forty million dollars as his share. In COM
parison with that figure the 81, 100000
given to the princess appears very pa1-
try and it is not a surprise to her
friends that she should express her dis
satisfa elton. Whether this dissatisfac
ton will materialize in a law suit is yet
to be seen. There is a clause in the will
that says that any one making a con-
test shall be cut off from all share in
the estate. but the will of James G.
Fair had a similar revision. and the
courts knocked it out.

princess, asserts. it is stated, that she

ton of Alabama, one of the Democratic
leaders of the house and a member of

quoted in a Washington special to the
Tribune as follows concerning the gen.

I'VE of the south are not afraid to

PORT HURON TO PITTSBURG
System of Suburban Road to Extend
Across Three States

Cleveland, O..June 19.-The Leader says:
Not satisfied with its recent conquests in
the suburban railway field, the Everett
Moore syndicate has gone after another
big system of interurban trolley lines.
This. when they add to it their thousand
miles of fractions, will give them a clean
sweep from Port Huron, Mich, to Pitts
burg, Pa Three states will be included
in the spider-1ike trail and more than g.
10000 people viii be within reach Of the
line controlled by the system.
Negotiations, it is learned, are under
way by which the Mahoning Electric sys-
tenn will be absorbed by the big syndi-
cate. The Mahoning system is considered
one of the most valuable pieces of inter-
urban traction property in Ohio It has
about 40 miles of track passing through
Warren, Niles, Girard and Youngstown
The present Pennsylvania terminal is at
Green Castle Pa. The company owns
franchises and rights of way to Pittsburg.
With this system in operation and tackled
to its other lines the Everett Moore syn
dictate, would have an interurban system
of trolleys extending from Port Huron.

'PUGS" TO WRESTLE.
Sharkey, RuhIin and FItz VIII
Engage In a Tourney.

New York. June 1s.-According to the
World preparations are under way for
a big wrestling tourney in which the
best boxers in this country will be seen
in New York in a new role. 1t has been
stated on excellent authority that
Madison Square Garden will soon be the
scene of bouts between Rubin, Shar-
key. Fitzsimmons and other prominent
heavyWeights. Persons who have
leased the garden are said to be ne
gotiating with Rubin and Sharkey for
the first match. which will be decided
within a few weeks. The bouts will be
arranged for nights when the garden is
not given up to cycle racing. FitzsiIn-
mons said a few days ago he would
not take up wrestling, but a friend of
the Cornishman says that Fitzsimmons
will probably be prevailed upon to en-
ter the contests.
Sharkey confirms the report that a
wrestling match is being arranged for
him with Rubin. He said the bout
would open up the wrestling tourna-
ment at the Garden and would be fol-
lowed by other meetings between the
heavy weights.

DERBY WILL BE RUN.
Prohibiting Pool Selling Won't
Stop Great Chicago Race.

Chicago, June 19.-Secretary Nathan
son of the Harlem Jockey club last
night issued a statement calling off the
remaining three days of the meeting.
Following is the statement:
Our intention was to race out the
remaining three days of our meeting
without allowing betting, but our at
torneys advice is not to race, as such
action might be construed as disre-
spectful to the courts injunction and
might injure our case, which comes up
on Monday"
The decision to close Harlem came as
a surprise to the public and to most of
the bookmakers. The managers of the
track held a conference last night and
the above notice was issued.
The decision to close the track was
the result of Judge STEMS refusal to
dissolve Judge Holden's injunction re-
straining the race track people.
There is no doubt that the American
Derby will be run as usual, betting or
no betting. 1t is reported that Chief of
Police O'Neill has received certain in
structions with reference to the Derby
day event, but it is not generally be-
the threat made by him that there will
be no betting.
Present indications are that the field

TABOR LOSES GOOD MAN.
Because He Can Get More Money at

Tabor, Ia, June 19.-Prof. Richard
Cecil Hughes, president of Tabor college
has resigned his position. The reason
assigned is that he has a more lucra-
tive position in view. He has been con-
nected with the college for ten years.
The board Of trustees was unable to
prevail upon Professor Hughes to re-
main. The college has been very pros
porous under his administration and
the endowment fund has been largely
increased and the attendance in college
doubled since he assumed charge.
President Hughes raised the funds
