WILL OFFERED
FOR PROBATE
Another Step in the Fight Over
the Stratt0n Millions.

COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo. oct. 4.
The fight over the Stratton mill
lions was renewed today when the
executors named by the late multi-mil-
lionaire appeared before Judge James
A. Orr. In the county court. and offered
the viii for probate The battle In
reality centers about whether the
court will accept this instrument as the
last win and testament OF the min
ing king, or whether, as the son and
administrators claim. the will is in
valid because its maker is alleged TO
have been insane, IN August, 1901, when
IL was drawn.
At the request of the administrators
the court postponed the hearing until
later ia the day and the administrators
intimated that they would attempt TO
have "A ppstpoGement until some day
next week. The writ of certiOrari is
sued by Judge Cunningham this week
has removed the fight over the legality
OF the appointment OF the administra-
tors TO the district court and has oper-
uted in effect TO make the executors
the active agents under the Will. They
appointed ". G.. Rice, a brother OF
Dr. Rice one Of the executors, TO be
general manager of the Stratton min
ing properties In Cripple Creek. ana
the administrators made no objection.
When the second attempt was made
at 1880 O'Clock 20 probate the will be-
fore Judge Orr in the county court.
the attorneys for l. Harry StFatton, the
son, appeared and asked the court 10
issue a summons calling all the lega-
tees and beneficiarics into court at some
later date 10 be present when the viii
should be formally offered for probate.
This was a radical step and was siren
uously objected TO by the attorneys for
the executors.
Judge orr overruled their objections
and Immediately ordered the citation
issued and set Nov 10 as the day when
the legatecs should appear and the will
be prObated. The effect of this order
Is to stop all procedure in connection
with pr0bating the viii until that date.
In the meantime the other side Of
the tight viii be determined, namely.
whether the executors or the admins
traitors are to be given legal possession
OF the property This question Will be
argued Oct 9, before Judge Cunning
ham, on the point that the administra-
tors were Illegally appointed by Judge
Orr. II the county court is sustained.
the executors are deposed. II overruled
the executors viii take possession and
proceed to carry out the provisions OF
the will in the matter of building the
MyrOn StrattOn home.

SUTHERLAND is
OUT OF RACE
Apparently Apostle SmOoi Now
Has Clear Field.
THE RELEASE OF MEAY
A WEBER COUNTY INCIDENT
SHEDS MUCH LIGHT.

A T least one legislative candidate
n pledged to vote for Congressman
George Sutherland for United
States senator if given a chance has
been released from his promise. This
one is Bishop Mckay of Huntsville,
Weber county. The incident is gener-
ally taken to mean that Mr.. Suther-
land has given up his fight. leaving
Bosses Smoot and Kearns supreme die
tators Of Republican politics
Mr.. Sutherland yesterday declined to
commit himself on this question.
81 do not care TO discuss my rela-
tions with Bishop Mckay" he said,
except to say that We are old friends
and anything that has taken place be-
tween us is purely personal. AS far
as withdrawing from the race for SEN
ator Is concerned, l never announced
that / was a candidate. and therefore
have nothing to withdraw"
The case of Bishop Mckay, however,
is creating much comment among men
familiar with the inside history of his
candidacy. Some time ago he was a
candidate pledged for the state SEN
ate and was pledged TO Sutherland.
When Apostle Smoot announced that
he intended to lay aside his ecclesias-
teal duties for politics, in the hope of
becoming senator, Bishop Mckay,
pledged 20 Sutherland, decided not to
become a candidate for the legislature.
w. G. Smith OF Huntsville then en-
tered the race for the lower house and
Bishop Stewart of Plain City became
a candidate for senator. Every effort
of the Smoot managers 10 persuade
Mckay TO remain in the race was vain,
until he received a telegram from
Sutherland giving a release from all
obligations. Then Mckay, backed by
the SmoOt crowd. went into the run
ming again. Smith retired. but Stewart
stayed in the fight and was defeated.
With his own county-Salt Lake
against him, with Utah county in the
hands of the bosses. and with the
Smoot ticket successful in the Weber
county convention, Sutherland can
hope for only a few scattering votes
in the legislature.

TROUBLE FOR MoRITz.
Reports From Various Sources Dis
quiet His Friends.

Unless the lavish expenditure of
money can work az change of senti-
ment, Jacob MoritZ, Republican can
didate for state senator. will be de-
feated. in the opinion of even the active
Republican workers. The saloonkeeper
friend of Rev. John T. Axton and
Apostle Reed Smoot is conceded to be
the least popular man on the unpopu-
lar ticket. and even If the others should
pull thought, it is believed the owner
of various questionable establishments
will be defeated. Not only in Salt
Lake City is a storm OF protest be-
ing raised, but the workers in the
country districts say that Republic
ans who usually vote the straight tick
ct will scratch NORTH.
Word was brought in from the coun-
try yesterday that ]. P. Cahoon, can
didate for the lower house. will be
scratched by Republicans who associ-
ate the name of Cahoon with the coun-
ty board scandal few years ago. It
was ]. P. Cahoon's brother who was
a commissioner then, but the intimate
association of the brothers has caused
a prejudice.
