SPRINGS POINT
IN SUTRO CASE
Attorney McEnerney Re-ex-
amines DR.. Merritt as to
Fathers Trip to Europe

Another turn was given yesterday to
the great legal fight over the proposed
distribution of a portion of Adolph
Sutro's estate. The taking of testimony
upon the petition Of Kate Nusbaum
and the other Sutro children, excepting
DR.. Emma L. Merritt. who is oppos-
ing them, was ended some weeks ago
and the arguments have already oc-
cupied days of time in Judge Coffey's
court. Yesterday was Garret Nc
Enerneys turn to present the conten-
tions of the petitioners, and he had the
case reopened in order to question DR..
Merritt regarding her fathers visit to
Europe in 1928. Attorneys Nc
Kinstry. Morrison and Silliman. rep
resenting the opposition. asked Mr.. Nc
Enerney to explain the purpose of the
examination and he said that he in
tended to base an argument on the cir
cumstances surrounding the making of
Sutro's will and their bearing upon the
Interpretation to be given the trust
clause.
DR.. Merritt evinced some surprise
that Mr.. McEnerney should know that
she met her father in Europe in 1888
She said, however, that she had met
him at London, Paris, Genoa and else
where. She had received letters from
him. but at this late day could not re-
member their contents. She promised
to produce the letters in court. DR..
Merritt also said that she did not know
that the trustees provided for in the
will had ever organized or carried out
other provisions of the will.
A statement of the present condition
of the estate was offered in evidence
and at the beginning of his argument
Mr.. McEnerney said that the estate
was in such shape that his clients are
two-thirds of the property not in the
trust or incumbered by the Hibernia
Savings and Loan mortgage.
Mr.. McEnerney stated that the prop
erty in the trust is worth S768, 900;
that subject to the mortgage is worth
1888. 900, and that not in the trust or
incumbered $772000. Property was re-
Gently sold for $15S.O0O. and out of that
DR.. Merritt had paid 100000 to the
Hibernia Society, reducing the mort
gage to $30S, 800 and the executrix now
has S108,000 on hand. This showing,
said the attorney, was enough to prove
that the incumbered property was val
liable enough to pay the mortgage. the
unpaid legacies and all the expenses
of administration.
The lawyer then devoted his argu-
ment to the support of the binding ef-
feet of the judgment in the case of
Sutro against Merritt. in which the
court held that the charity trust was
void This is the chief point of Dr.
Merritt's resistance, as the other chill
dren are seeking to break the trust
and secure the rich property included
in it.

The
Crocer's Honor

When you ask your grocer for Ghirarde11is
Ground Chocolate or Breakfast Cocoa have YOU
enough faith in him to know that he won't
attempt TO foist you your child cheap
limitations? If he is an honest man he will give
you the d. Ghirardeli Co.'s preparations He
knows that they are what you want; what you
have always used; what created your preference
for chocolate and cocoa to coffee and tea If he is
serving your interests conscientiously he will give
you D. Ghirarde1li's brands
On the other hand: if he is indifferent to yo11r
wants, if the few cents extra profit will reconcile
him to betraying your trust he will try TO eive
you cheap limitations of D. Ghirardellis Chocolate
and Cocoa. Of course he risks the loss of yo1r
custom by Misrepresentation for the grocer who
carries counterfeit stock is menace to the hea,t,
of the public.
There are hundreds of honest grocers-ttere are
some others. Is yours among the others?

Not Reassuring.


 A middle-aged man and his wife who were about to take q trip to Wash ington decided that, as it was the be- ginning of the season, they had better invest in some new clothes. Their grown-up children made fun of their new" appearance, but it was not un til the parents were safely settled in their seats and had opened their bags that they discovered the joke that had been played upon them.
 One of the grown-up children had filled both satchels with rice, and when father and mother opened their bags the grains were scattered broadcast.
 Of course there was at once an amused smile on everyones face, and the mother felt herself getting redder than she had ever been in her life be- fore. She was made no more comfort able by fat German woman sitting opposite, who leaned over and said, quite audibly:
 "Ach, never mind! I'm a vidder woman now, but by dis time next week I'll be in de same fix m'self'

The Victorious Flea.

One of the justices of the United States Supreme Court din cd recently with a Washington family who are ardent advocates of vegetarian diet. In the course of dinner, which consisted, says the New York Evening Post, of all the delica- cies of edible life now in season, the hostess undertook the conversion of her beef-reared guest.
 But despite her arguments, which were cleverly based on the chemical constituents of various kinds of food, the jurist was not convinced.
 "But surely, Mir. Justice," she said, finally, you must admit that vegeta- rianism means strength and ability when you remember that the rabbit, which. feeds wholly on vegetables, can make such great leaps over the ground from hiding-place to hiding-place."
 True, madam" answered the dis tinguished man, gravely, but we must also remember that the minute creature for whicn naturalists claim the ability to jump more times it's own length than any other belongs in tha class of pure carnivora."

DOING GREAT WORK.

Florisant, Mo-, Dec -(SpeciaD That Dodd's Kidney Pills are do- ing a great work in curing the more terrible forms of Kidney Disease, such as Bright's Disease, Dropsy and Dia- betes, everybody knows. But it must also be noted that they are doing a still greater work in wiping out thous- ands of cases of the earlier stages of Kidney Disease. Take for instance Mrs. Peter Barteau of this place. She says:-
 q have been subject to pains in my back and knees for about three years. but since I have been taking Dodd's Kidney Pills I have been entirely cured"
 Others here tell similar stories. In fact, in this part of Missouri there are scores of people who have cured the early symptoms of Kidney Disease with Dodd's Kidney Pills. The use of the Great American Kidney Remedy thus saved not only the lives of Kid ney Disease victims, but thousands of other Americans from years of suf- ferings.
