DAUGHTERS OF BLAKE
OPPOSE SOULE'S CLAIM
Declare Husband of Late

NOVEL POINT RAISED
Heir Died Before Reaching
Age When Estate Was
to Be Distributed
NOVEL POINT RAISED

OAKLAND, March :. - Arguments
over the provisions Of the wiz OF Fran
els Blake. a founder Of the firm OF
Blake Nofitt & Towne, whose death
occurred in 1883, were heard by Judge
Waste today The win provided for the
holding Of the estate, valued at $12OsOOO,
in q trust fund by which Alice c Blake
and Mrs. Nellie i. Witcher. his daugh-
ters. and Ethel Pomeroy. a grand
daughter. were equal benetciaries OF
the income
The will provided that when any one
of the benehciaries became 80 years OF
age she should come into absolute pos
session OF one-third Of the estate. Ethel
Pomeroy was married 10 Beach c
Soule, son of Professor Frank SOule Of
the University OF California, and two
children were born TO them. Her death
occurred two years ago, before she was
so wears old. Her husband now asks
one-third Of the Blake estate on behalf
OF the children.
II is contended by the sisters, Alice
Blake and Mrs Nellie Witcher, that the
share which would have gone TO Mrs.
Soule reverts TO the estate, Of which
they are heirs, on account Of her death
before reaching the specified age.
Through their attorney, Charles >
Wheeler OF San Francisco, they assert
that while Mrs. SOuie was beneficiary
OF the trust fund she had in no sense
a vested interest in the One-third set
aside for her and that in consequence
neither her children nor her surviving
husband can claim what was never Mrs.
Soule's.
Attorneys Sam Poorman and f. c
Sessions represent the SOule claims.
They argue that the interest OF Mrs.
Soule was a vested one and that lack Of
control Of it was the only bar TO her
absolute possession at any time since
the death OF Francis Blake, and that
her interests as such are inherited by
her husband and children.
At the close of the arguments Judge
Waste took the case under advisement

Danger. That Threaten the chIId,s LIT.
(From the Chicago Tribune)

(From the Chicago Tribune)
Health Commissioner Reynolds Of
Chicago, in his latest bulletins of the
department, says that the worst danger
to which the children of Chicago are
now exposed Is the neglected cold.
If your baby has a cold don't say 1T
will wear or and let it go at that If
your children have the snuffies. or sore
throats, or watery eyes, don't t hesitate
to take them from school for a day or
two so that you may break up the colds
they have.
Every parent can add to the healthy
condition of the city and to his or her
own peace of mind by guarding
against any and every kind of a cold
caught cold. 1t may be impossible to
prevent 1t from exposing it's sensitive
body to those dangers which older per-
sons shun. But the chances of con
tracing colds can be easily diminished
by little care and foresight.
IF the children get colds don't
waste any time.
Don't trifie with cold"
This warning, coming from so prom
inent an official and one whose position
enables him to know the real danger.
should be needed by all. The lives of
many children are sacrificed each year
by neglecting the, colds which they
take, others contract chronic catarrh
from which they never fully recover
It would be unwise for the health
commissioner of city to recommend
any remedy or treatment for a dis
case. but should he do so Chamber
lains Cough Remedy would certainly
head the list as the most ef1cacious for
colds. Group and whocping cough in
children, and the one remedy that can
always be depended upon to effect

safe to take. This remedy contains no
opium or other harmful drug and may
be given as confidently to a baby as to

What Are intoxicants.

st. Paul, Nov. 30.-The state su.
preme court has handed down a de-
cision relating to the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors. This decision goes into
the rights of dealers to sell malt bev-
erages without local licenses and it
would appear that if the decision has
any general effect 1t will prevent the
sale of the various malt extracts ex-
cept at regularly licensed saloons or
on the presentation of doctors pre-.
scription at a drug store.
The case was that Of the state
against Noble Schagel, resident of
Kandiyohi county. The defendant was
indicted and found guilty of selling
intoxicants without license He sold
what was called Swedish malt. One
sample, after analysis by university
professor, was found to contain 272
per cent alcohol and another sample
disclosed 3.18 per cent alcohol Scha-
gel appealed and the supreme court
says the verdict must stand.
