inevitable battle over the estate be-
gins.
I'VE have Just learned of the con-
tents Of the will of Miss Dolbeer
through the newspapers" said Watson,
land as we have not discussed the sit
uation in detail I cannot say what we
will do. We have not considered the
matter of a contest. We have not de-
cided what action we will take
Watson studiously avoided declaring
that his wife would not make a con-
test. There is apparent admission in
this omission.
Mrs. Moody was seen at her residence
last night. When questioned relative
to the will and the bequests made
therein Mrs Moody showed a decided
reluctance to discuss the subject. She
stated that she did not know anything
about the will and did not care to know.
When asked If the disposal of her de-
ceased kinswoman's property was in
a measure satisfactory Mrs. Moody
evinced by her manner rather than by
her words that it was not. She re-
peated that she did not know anything
about the will and did not want to
know.
Miss Warren, devisee of the bulk of
Miss Dolbeer's estate, could not be
seen yesterday afternoon. It was an
nounced that she was i'll. the result of
exhaustion and mental strain. The
possibilities of a picturesque and bitter
contest are apparent. That it will soon
begin is admitted and it promises to go
down in the history of the loool -
listed with the big battles for fortunes
that have made famous the courts of
California.

Detective Thomas Ryan says that
he will charge All Sow. the Chinese
woman who. it is alleged, tried to
poison her husband a week ago to-
day, with attempt to commit murder.
The police have endeavored to get
Tong Ling, the husband, to prefer the
charge, but he persists in refusing

Charged With Assault.

Pedro Gestros was taken from the
City and County Hospital yesterday
by the police and charged with assault
with a deadly weapon. Gestros had
a fight with a man on Pacific street
two weeks ago and both were injured.
His antagonist, being the least injured,
was charged at the time. Gestros has
been in the hospital since the en-
counter, and was well enough yester-
day to go to jail.

SPECIAL ADMINISTRATORS - Matilda
Norman and Julius Finck, named in the will
of Eva Barbara Kramer as executors, yester-
day petitioned the Superior Court for special
letters of administration upon her estate
which is worth $4,000 and consists chiefly Of

AsTONIsHMENT EXPRESSED.

Much astonishment has been ex-
pressed that Miss Helen Wagner re-
ceived so small a bequest, as it was
known that she was we'll beloved by
the heiress, who was not a maiden to
create friendships ON an impulse. Her
friendships were real entities-and they
lived.
1t is whispered that Milton Latham
was the man who held the key to her
heart. 1t is even said that an under
standing existed between him and Miss
Dolbeer to wed on her return. But if
the tale is true, the will bears no evil
dence Of it.
Attorney e. S. Pillsbury filed Miss
Dolbeer's will and applications for let
ters of administration upon her estate
were presented by William G. Mugan
and George D. Gray. The will was
filed early in the day, but was immedi-
ately taken by the attorney to a pho
tographer's, where a Photographic copy
was made. The petitions for letters did
not go into the question of value of the
estate, merely stating formally that it
was worth more than $4,000. Mugan's
petition recited the fact that Miss Dol
beer died in New York on July 9, 1904.
at the age Of 27 years and that she left
a Photographic will bearing date of
April %, 1904.
1t was stated in the petition that the
heirs at law are Mrs. Joseph L. Moody.
an aunt, residing in San Francisco;
Henry Schander, an uncle, residing at
Sacramento, and Adolph Schander, an
uncle, residing at Alameda. The lega-
tees and devisees are set forth as they
appear in the will.
UNCLES WILL CONTEST
The two Schanders, uncles of the de-
ceased, who. like Mrs Moody, the first
mentioned heir at law, are not included
in decedent's will and it is they that
threaten to precipitate the battle over
the estate. Adolph Schander. who re-
sides at 1917 Schiller street, Alameda,
a brother Of the late mother of Miss
Dolbeer, said last night:
THE first 1 knew of how Miss Dol
beer had disposed of her estate
learned from reading a copy of her
will. 1t appears that she has be-
queathed almost all Of her estate to
strangers, who have not the same claim
to her property as near relatives have.
Ny brother, Henry Schander, has re-
tanned Attorney Hiram Johnson to con-
test the will. If he did not take such
action l and other relatives would as
/ feel that we are entitled to share in
the estate.
Il did not have the time to inyesti-
gate the matter to-day, but tomorrow
will do so. 1 will consult with nv
brother, who resides in San Francisco.
and it is very probable that we will
outline a plan Of action. AS yet / have
not conferred with Henry about the
will and, of course, cannot say Just
what he intends to do other than that
he means to make a fight for recog-
milton when the estate is finally di-
vided. I had not seen Miss Dolbeer
for some time and am not in a position
to say anything concerning her mental
condition or attitude toward her uncIes
prior to her death.

Mrs. Mai Moody Watson, refused last

SOUTHERN M|LLERS MEET
ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING HELD
AT PARLORS OF HAMILTON.
Wheat Supply and Mills Chief Topic Of
Discussion-Twenty-five Attend.

The Southern Kansas Millers' club held
a meeting in the parlors of the Hamilton
hotel yesterday afternoon. There were
about twenty-five members present from
various points in southern Kansas. The
leading feature of the meeting was in
regard to the wheat supply for the mills.
After a lengthy discussion and a COM
parison of the conditions in different parts
of the state, it was concluded that there
was sufficient old wheat to keep the
machinery of the mills in operation until
new wheat came on. This question agi-
tated many of the millers to the extent
that some fear was entertained as to
where the wheat was TO be had for the
supply. 1t is now practically settled and
the millers thoroughly understand their
situations.
The matter of establishing branch
houses in towns and cities where there
is a mill that has a capacity TO supply
the trade was taken up. 1t was the sense
OF the meeting that it was absolutely I'M
fair for mill to go into town where is
located a mill and sell -four at the same
price per car load as the home mill does
This occasioned considerable argument
and was finally agreed upon in har-
moniouS manner.
The Southern Kansas Millers club is an
organization that does a vast amount OF
good to the millers of this part of Kan
sas. The club has for its purpose broad
and congenial aims. In short, ii has
been designated as bureau of lnforma-
ton for the benefit OF all interested there
in.
The following millers were present: +.
ID. Stevens, of Wichita; W. Il. Carr. of
Hutchinson; S. b. Carter, of Wellington;
]. II. McNair OF Halstead; j. O. Moffitt,
of ePabody; H. II. Hill, of Arkansas City;

A. w. GREEN
From Law to Biscuit.

The life of any prominent man always
possesses interest; especially Is this true
when he has made an unusual success
Among this class few have accomplished
more wonderful results than Adolphus
Williamson Green, widely known 70 the
business world by reason of his remark
able achievement in building up the Ma
tional Biscuit company.
Mr. Green was born in Boston, January
IA. 1913 He received his early education
in the public schools Of that city,
graduating from the famous Latin
school in 1859. IL the same year
he entered Harvard university. from
which he graduated in 1868 with the
bachelors degree. After leaving college
he was appointed principal of the high
school in Groton, Mass. He remained
there for one year when he removed 10
the city of New York TO become second
assistant librarian of the Mercantile
library association. His services were so
satisfactory that in 1867 he was advanced
70 the position of librarian. which office
he held for two years. In 1852 he entered
the law Office of Evarts. Southmayd and
Choate and studied law with that emf
nent firm for four years. In 1873 he was
admitted 10 the bar of the state of New
York. In the same year he removed 70
Chicago. where he achieved unusual sue
cess in the practice Of his profession
His natural business ability and legal at
tainnlents soon won for him highest
standing among Chicago lawyers. and

large corporations. In 1885 he became at
torney for the South Park commissioners,

be brief and concise, this occasioned a
resumption of the confusion Of the after
noon. Kelchner, of Kansas City, and
Parks, of Olathe. were the minority lead
ers, both pertaining to a state constitu-
ton and a platform. The convention be-
came so Infatuated at times that order
was out Of ali question. Both of these
gentlemen were given the undesirable
appella ton of traitors by several parties
1t was finally decided to leave the adop-
ton of the Socialist platform to a referen-
dunn vote Of the Socialist locals througout
the state. In regard to the partys state
constitution the old one was amended ana
adopted. The question on state constitu-
ton was in the article and section re-
lating to the management of the party 9
affairs. How shall We handle the cam
paign?' was the cry. It was left in,
practically an unsettled condition, and
the Socialist party will be Compelled to
60 through the coming campaign the best
that they can on their individual bank
accounts
In the wrangle last night the Social
istic principle of harmony, peace and
referendum vas demonstrated with sad
effects. Where debates en- questions were
opened there Were instances in which
three-fourths of the convention were en-
deavoring to be heard. Parliamentary
rules were utterly disregarded and the
assemblage, which posed as the Socialist
convention of the state Of Kansas, was
converted into a vaudeville of ridicule
and laughter. Before the night session
was over one old gray-haired veteran
arose, left the hall and declared that
there was a machine which wanted to
run the whole thing. The objections to
the proceedings were infinite before ad-
journment and when the disheartened
comrades left their seats they expressed
dissatisfaction. Thus closed the first
Socialist state convention ever held in this

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless d.
gested-Some Stomachs Must
Have Help.

Food taken into the stomach which,
from the nature OF the food or the condi-
ton of the stomach. is not digested is
worse than no food at all. This is a true
statement as far as il goes and a great
many dyspeptics so only this far with
their reasoning They argue with them
selves that because their stomachs do not
do the work given them. they must be
given less work; in other words. they
must be starved 1t would be lust as
sensible for business man VINO is unable
to do all his own work to cut down his
business to his own capacity, as it is for
q man to starve himeslf to relieve his
stomach. The sensible business man en-
ploys help and goes forward with his
business Likewise the sensible dyspep-
tic will employ help for his stomach
and give his body proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do
the work assigned 10 them. They re-
lieve weak and overburdened stomachs
of a great portion of digestive action.
Their component parts are identical with
those of the digestive fluids and secre-
tions OF the stomach andIhey simply take
up the grind and carry on the work just
the same as a good, strong. healthy stom-
ach would do it
On this account Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets are perfectly natural in their action
and effects. They do not cause any I'M
natural or violent disturbance in the
stomach or bowels. They themselves
digest the food and supply the system
with all the nourishment contained in
what is eaten and carry out nature
plans for the sustenance and mainten-
ance of the body.
How much more sensible is this method
than .nat employed by many sufferers
from weak stomachs BY this means
the body and brain get all the good. nutri-
tious food they need and the man is prop
erly nourished and equipped 10 carry or
