CLAIMS ESTATE
Of RICH UNCLE
Peter Paul Hartmann of San
ia Cruz Says f. A. Him Has
Not Fulfilled His Trust
HE ASKS DISTRIBUTION
Asserts That the Money Was
Intended for the Poor
of a Village in Bavaria

SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 4.-Peter Paul
Hartmann, late Socialist candidate for the
Assembly from this county, and a grand
nephew of the late George Kohl, an eccen-
trio miser, is contesting the distribution
Of his uncle's estate. Hartmann claims
the estate was left in trust to F. A.
Him. a landowner and millionaire of this
county with the understanding that after
all kohlS debts and funeral expenses
were paid the balance should go to
Schultheiss, the Burgomaster of the vii
lage of Rechtenbach in Bavaria, in trust
for the poor of the village where Kohl
was born He claims that Him has not
fulfilled the terms of the trust, which, 1t
is admitted, was left out of the will at
Hihns suggestion on account OF legal
technicalites, Him promising to execute
the old mans wishes. Kohl sent for Him
on his sick bed, ii is said, and had the
millionaire write his Will. The VIII was
written in July, 1901, and Kohl died the
following March Hartmann declares
Him admitted he was only trustee and
claims he has taken no steps to wind up
the estate or to send the money TO the
Burgomaster Of Rechtenbach. The petit
ton asks that F. A. Him be declared
trustee under the will for the poor OF
Rechtenbach, that Hartmann be declared
the only heir at law and that two-thirds
of the estate be set apart for himself ana
a third for the Rechtenbach poor.
The estate consists Of valuable real es-
tate in this city and about 5000 In casn
in the bank. Hartmann worked for his
uncle for some years, during which. he
says, the old man. in a fit Of anger, shot
at him with a twenty-two-caioer rife,
several shots taking effect in his foot.

When Railroad Is Built
CONDITION OF LINES
Mellersh Says California
Northwestern and North
Shore Have Bright Futures

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 4.-Thomas Mel
lersh, secretary and auditor of the Cali
fornia NOrthW eStern, was before the
State Board Of Equalization this morn
ing and made a statement on rallroad
valuations. In anSN er u questions, he
said that the road had Sood future
and would be extended as rapidly as
possible into the Humboldt country. 1t
would cost several millions of dollars
to reach the timber beit but eventually
it would pay handsomely. He said that
one merchant in Eureka had stand
ing offer to pay $4,000 for the first
railroad ticket from that city to San
Francisco. He said 1t was estimated
that if one hundred carloads OF lumber
a day were taken out of that country
annually during the next one hundred
years hardly any impression would be
made on the supply.
In speaking of the future OF the
North Shore Railroad, he said that while
this years statement showed a deficit
of S1S5,030 So, the road had a great
future, as it was rapidly building up
the locality through which it travels
He said that this country was becom-
ing such a favorite camping ground in
summer that the principal freight con-
sisted of canned sardtnes and beer. He
said that at the present time the man
and during the past year not one of
the principal officers of the road had
taken a cent of salary.
Mellersh said the steam roads of the
country were badly handicapped by
the electric system and within fifty
years all steam locomotives would be
superseded by electricity and gasoline
He predicted that when the roads to
the East were double-tracked and laid
with heavy rails 1t would be possible
to go to New York in three days.
His denunciation of the Esch-Town-
send bill giving the Interstate Com
merce Commission the power to fix
rates was combated by A. B. Nye pri-
vate secretary Of Governor Pardee, who
was an interested spectator Nye con-
tended that the proposed bill gave no
greater power than the California Rail-
road Commission possessed and no bad
results had accrued. : ye held that the
bill was necessary because the consoli-
dating of railroad interests had prac-
tically killed competition.
