Proposed Compromise Of Fight Over
Document Fails.
Widow Opposes SettIement-PrOpO-
sition Was 10 Give Her 100000
in Bonds and Son 100000 Ranch.

New York. Dec. at developed to-day
that there had been a hitch in the nego-
tiations for the settlement Of the contest
by Mrs Theresa Alice Fair Oeirichs of
the viii of her husband. Herman Oelrichs.
It was announced last week by counsel
for the executors that a settlement had
been reached, and Surrogate Fitzgerald
said that he would sign decree admit
ting the viii 10 probate.
But when the proposed decree was pre-
sented further objections were raised by
counsel for Mrs. Oelrichs. and to-day the
surrogate heard the testimony Of the
subscribing witnesses 10 the viii as to
Mr.. Oelrichs' declarations concerning + is
residence.
The chief objection made by Mrs DEL
richs to the will in which she was ignored
entirely, was that her husband was q resi-
dent Of California. and that the estate
should be administered according TO the
laws of that State. II IL was she would
be entitled 10 One-half OF all property.
which the laws of California consider as
community property. Here she is en-
titled only to her dover right of one-third
Of the personal property and a life inter
est in the real estate, provided the will
should be set aside. BY the viii Mr.. Oel-
richs also cut of their child, Herman
Oelrichs. tr-. with a few trinklets. on the
ground that Mrs. Oclrichs was rich
enough in her own right to provide for
the boy
Col Franklin Bartlett testified to-day
that he had drawn the viii and had wit
messed 1t at Mr.. Oelrichs' residence. Col
bartlett was Mr.. Oelrichs' personal coun-
sci, and he is now personal counsel for
Charles May Oelrichs, brother Of the tes-
tator and chief beneficiary in the will
Jay & Chandler are counsel for the ex-
ecutOr. Bowers & Sands are acting for
Mrs. OelrichS.
Before the testimony was taken it was
agreed that should the negotiations for a
settlement fall through eventually, the
testimony would not be used again. but
would have to be taken anew on the peti-
ton for probate. 1t was this stipulation
which showed that the settlement an
nOunCed last week had not yet been ac-
COmplshed. BY that settlement Mrs. OeI-
richs was to get S1O0,O00 worth of Southern
Pacific Railroad Company bonds out of
10000 owned by her husband and tne
boy was to get ranch in California

upon the matter as follows:
''The work of erecting the booths was
in the hands of a New York firm, and II
brought over many of the booths from
Baltimore and set them up here. Our at
tention was not called to the fact that
non-union labor was being employed until
much of the work had been completed
When the walking delegate found this out
he said he would try 10 get around earlier
next year and sec that only union men
were used. I supposed that had ended the
matter. ] do not see how anything could
have been done. as the employment OF
non-uni0n men was an oversight that was
discovered too late to he corrected"
