ARGUES AGAINST
CHARITY TRUST
Attorney Wheeler Makes the
Opening Attack on Validity
of Clause in SutrO Will
RICH PROPERTY IN ISSUE
Contends That Tying Up OF
Great Estate for Years
Is Against Public Policy

The first volley from the legal bat
terry trained against the charity trust
created by the will of the late Adolph
Sutro was heard yesterday in Judge
Coffeys department of the Superior
Court. Attorney Charles S. Wheeler de-
voted the entire afternoon to argument
in behalf Of the contention Of the Sutro
heirs (excepting DR.. Emma Merritt)
that the trust is void, their purpose be-
ing to secure a partial distribution OF
the 100000 worth Of property now tied
up. DR.. Merritt, who is the executrix
of her fathers will, is opposing the
>other heirs. She is represented by
Bradley & McKinstry, Morrison s. Cope
and r. D. Silliman. The attack upon
the will is in the hands OF Bishop,
Wheeler & Hoeffler and Garret McEn-
erney.
Mr.. Wheeler said that the 'testa-
mentary scheme" contemplated by the
provision in Sutro's will was against
public policy and would not be sane
toned by right-thinkng men, nOtwith-
standing the popular encouragement OF
charitable bequests. He pointed out
that Sutro had placed the San Miguel
Rancho and Sutro Heights into trust,
directing that the two parcels, consist
ing Of 1900 acres, should be conveyed
to a board of trustees composed of the
Governor Of the State, Mayor of this
city and other high officials, to be held
by them until the death Of the last of
his children.
Mr.. Wheeler said that the 1900 acres
constituted about one-ffteenth of the
entire area of San Francisco and is
practically in the heart Of what will be
a great city. Under the terms Of the
will none of the land can be sold, and
not a single trust duty in relation to 1t
is imposed for the first ten years All
the rents and profits during the life
time Of the survivors are to be used
for taxes and improvements OF the
property and none Of the income is to
go TO charity.
The will, said Mr.. Wheeler, was made
in 1882, at which time the prospect of
life ahead of some of the children was
fifty or sixty years. The idea Of rolling
up a great fortune for the benefit of
generations unborn, the tying up Of so
large a property and the restriction Of
it's sale for so long a time, declared
the lawyer, were hostile to public pol
icy. If property could be tied up for fifty
years, said Mr.. Wheeler, for the benefit
of charity, it could as well be tied up
or 100 or 500 years and the vast ac-
emulation then devoted to charity, but
such a scheme would not hold in law.
Wheeler argued the law of the case
at length and cited many authorities
McEnerney will continue the argu-
ment Friday morning.

SCHUSSLER TALKS ABOUT
SIERRA NEVADA WATER
Spring Valleys Engineer Explains
What Should Be Done tofTap
Mountain Supply.

Difficulties in the way OF supply
ing this city with potable water from
the Sierra Nevada Mountains were set
forth yesterday by Chief Engineer
Schussler of the Spring Valley Water
Works before United States Commis-
sioner Heacock.
He said that without the ownership
of the Crystal Springs reservoir prop
critics it would require, besides the
headworks and canals in the Sierra,
not less than five Independent pipe
lines, each forty-eight inches in diam
eter, having a daily capacity of 30,-
100000 gallons each, accompanied by
at least one additional safety line of
the same diameter and capacity.
The electric pumping plants would
also have to be correspondingly in
creased in number and capacity, so
as to bring them up from $4,000, 900
gallons over one pipe line to an aver
age of 100000 gallons per day. In
order to have this average supply ca
pacity additional carrying capacity of
from Is to 20 per cent must be pro-
vfded for to meet the fluctuations be-
tween the average and the maximum
daily consumption. For this purpose
four forty-eight inch pipe lines would
not be able to carry this average guam
tity, but it would require five lines to
do it.
