Immediate Canal Supplies
Call for Expenditure OF
More Than $1,000, 700
MERCHANTS ASK DELAY
Lack of Blank Proposals
Will Be a Disadvantage
Unless Time Is Extended

A great stir was created yesterday
among San Francisco merchants when
it was ascertained that the Isthmian
Canal Commission will open bids on
May Is and 10 for supplies, the con-
tract prices for which will easily ag-
gregate $1,000,000. One commodity
lumber. rough and dressed. will call
for the expenditure of more than
100000 alone. In all 26,OO0,0OO feet
of lumber is needed at once. The
other supplies range all through many
lines and in all instances the guam
titles demanded are large.
For several days the wires between
San Francisco and Washington have
been kept busy carrying dispatches
from San Francisco asking for blank
proposals. Wednesday last there were
no lumber proposals in the city, and
no one here knew what the commits
sion wished to buy in that line and
consequently no bids could be framed.
j. J. Moore & Co.. the Manufacturers
and Producers Association and the
bombarded the sources of information
for blanks. AS long ago as May 8
Eugene Goodwin, secretary of the
Manufa cturers and Producers Asso-
citation, sent request for blank pro-
posals. Yesterday morning the Manu-
facturers' and Producers Association
received a supply of proposal blanks,
as regards the lumber supplies. BY
night they were all gone.
To-day there will be a rush to the
Offices of the association for proposals
to supply, among other commodities,
steam pumps and pipes, hydrants and
water meters, fire extinguishers, bolt
cutters, linen hose and hose reels,

scrapers, coke, force pumps, printing
office supplies, tools of various kinds,
oils, wheelbarrows, ladders, tents and
canvas, office furniture, refrigerators,
desk supplies and SO on through list
of hundreds of articles.
Both the Chamber of Commerce
and the Manufacturers and Pro-
ducers' Association have requested
Major Gallagher, the purchasing
agent at Washington, d. c., for the
canal commission, to extend the date
for making proposals, to the end that
San Francisco merchants and others
shall have a chance to compete to bet
ter advantage than can be done in
the absence of early information.
The demands for large quantities
of railroad materials and construc-
ton materials indicates that railroad
building is about to begin at the

Warnings Caused Trouble

Mrs Rowena Wewerka, who is being
sued for divorce by Joseph Wewerka
on the ground that she was unduly in

unique defense in her answer, filed yes

CALLS HUTTON
TO LEGAL FRAY
Sister of Ex-Police Commits
sioner's Wife Files Contest
to the "Letter Will"
CHARGE is SENSATIONAL
Says Agent Was Employed
to Follow Sick Woman
and Compel Her to Yield

The contest over the estate of the
late Inez Sexton Hutton, wife Of ex-
Police Commissioner Hutton, has be-
gun. Opposition to Hutton's petition
for the admission to probate of the
letter will'' filed by him Wednesday
was recorded yesterday by Mrs. Edith
Sexton Raine, a sister of the deceased,
who resides in San Jose. 1t is charged
by Mrs. Raine that not only was Mrs.
Hutton of unsound mind at the time
she executed the letter WILL" which
bears date Of December 20, 1904, but
that she was under the direct control
of an agent employed by Hutton to fol-
low Mrs. Hutton to Michigan and force
from her the document under which
he now claims almost her entire es-
tate. Regarding the agent, Mrs. Raine
says:
At the time Of the execution of tho will
said lnez Sexton Hutton was unlawfully con-
fined by Eben Rice acting as agent for Harry
W. Hutton, and was not free from menace
and fraud. She was weak in body and sick
fre aseass @ and an was IN mental ~ distress
nent of her husband who endeavoring
to deprive her Of her property and who had
petent and had had himself appointed her
guardian and had by Injunction and threats
that she could not obtain 1t nor any part
of it. and by said acts said Harry w. Hutton
obtained and held authority over decedent for
the purpose of obtaining an unfair advantage
over her. and while she in such weak
condition of body and in mental distress he
induced her to write to him letter testa-
with indicia Of ownership of almost her en-
tire estate.
This indictment of Hutton indicates
the spirit that will mark the progress
Of the contest and the sensational de-
velopments that may be expected.
