ADMINlSlRATORSHIP
 OF SANDERS ESTATE
The Petition for the Creation of a
 Vacancy in Course of Hearing.

The session of the district court yes terday afternoon was taken up with the matter of the petition for the re- moval of l.. H. Landis as the admins trstor of the estate of Geo. W. San ders The petition had been denied after hearing in probate court and the petitioner took an appeal. The pe- titioner is Clara Sanders. who is now al Manila in tle Philippines She had been the adhinistratrix of the estate, but nearly two years ago she was call ed to the islands by the illness of her sister, who subsequently, died. Mrs. Sanders has since been detained there caring for the children of her sister
 One of the assets of the Sanders es- tate is a suit for damages begun in his life time by George W. Sanders against the Phoenix. street railway company. After the death of Sanders. the suit was re-instituted with his wife as plaintiff in her capacity Of administratriX. When sne went away it was thought that she would return in time for the trial in the fall follow ing her departure.
 Last November George l.. Sanders. one of the beirs of the estate. moved for her. removal on the ground of her absence from the country. Her attor- ney J. NJ. Jamison. who was also en- gagged in the prosecution of the dam age suit said that ne would have no objection to her removal and the ap- pointment of MT. Landis if the latter would agree to proceed with tne ac- tion against the street railway com pany MT. Jamison says this assuI ance was given him by Captain George D. Christy. the attorney for MT. Lan- dis and the attorney for George l.. Sanders.
 Mrs. Sanders was removed and MT. Landis was appointed. 4 few days la ter Judge Ainsworth, the attorney for the street railway company, moved in court for the dismissal of the case saying that ne had the consent of the administrator. The motion was not granted and immediately after MT. Ja- mison began a movement to create another vacancy in the administrator ship.
 In the name of Mrs. Sanders he fil- ed a petitioon in which ne alleged conspiracy and collision among MT Landis. Captain Christy and George l.. Sanders. The case was heard in probate court and the petition was dis missed.
 Al the CtOSe or the case LOT Ntlt Pt titioner yesterday Attorney F. w Lewis. for the defense, moved to dis miss on the grounds taat no cause for the removal of MT Landis had been shown. The court was inclined to take that view. There had been he said. no charge of malfeasance in office. At the most. the administrator had only neglected to keep an agree ment which his attorney had made
 The attention of the court was call ed by Judge Mccormick, for the pc titioner to the fact that the evidence showed that there had been an under standing at the time that agreement was made and before the appointment of Nr Landis. that he was to dismiss the suit. MT. Jamison said that MT Landis had told him so after the mo- tion for dismissal had been made.
 The court thereupon proceeded tc hear from the other side and at the hour of agreement tETAOINetaoinac nour of adjournment the case had no. been concluded.
