John D. and Adolph Ignored in Dis
tribution of Estate---FiIe Demur-
rer to Petition of
Executors
1By Associated Press.l

SAN FRANCISCO. May Illegal
PROCEEDINGS, the effect of which will
be to test the validity of the will Of
the late Claus Spreckels, the sugar
magnate, who died at his home in this
city a few months ago leaving an es-
tate valued at many millions, We're
begun today.
The will divided the estate into two
equal portions, one of which goes to
the widow without restriction of any
kind and the other into the hands of
Rudolph and Claus A. Spreckels, two
of the four sons, as trustees, to be dis
tributed as later directed on the death
of the widow.
The trustees were named also as
executors of the will.
During the life of the widow she was
to receive a portion of the income from
the half of the estate held by the
trustees and on her death that portion
was to be divided into three parts, one
of which was to go to Rudolph, one
to Claus and the other to be held by
the trustees and the income to be paid
to the daughter. Emma c. Ferris.
By these terms the other two sons,
John d. Spreckels and Adolph Spreck-
els were ignored in the distribution of
the estate except for unimportant be-
quests.
The executors filed a petition with
the court a week ago, asking that
property valued at between $2,000,000
and $4,000, 600, being a portion of the
half of the estate held in trust, be
transferred from them as executors to
them as trustees.
This action is protested by John D.
Spreckels and Adolph Spreckels in a
demurrer to the petition filed today
The demurrer is viewed as a protective
measure taken by the protestants with
a view to the safeguarding of any
rights they may have in the estate
Should the petition have been grant
ed without demurrer on their part, the
validity of the will would have been
well established in the eyes of the
law.

DEATH OF GEORGE

BY HEART DISEASE

LONDON, May 1s.-George Meredith
the English novelist, died at $3.50 this

The immediate cause of death was
heart disease, following grave symptoms
that developed early in the evening.
Mr. Meredith's illness began on May

that time. So serious was his condition
last night that the physician remained

COMMIT SUICIDE
THIRD GIRL IS DAUGHTER OF
MILLIONAIRE
Mrs. M. Lyons, in Whose Room Mrs
Davidson Died, Had Two Previous
Experiences-Rec
Is Too Late

Around the pretty face, fluffy, light
hair and winsome personality of Mrs.
NJ. Lyons, the young matron in whose
room at the Rookwood hotel Mrs. R.
j. Davidson committed suicide by
drinking carbolic acid late Sunday
night, there seems to be woven a
tragic fate, for the 17-year-old girl
who cut the Gordon knot to a tangle
of love affairs Sunday night is the
third girl companion of Mrs. Lyons to
end her life in the presence of the
young woman. Both the preceding
suicides drank carbolic acid, by which
agency Mrs. Davidson ended her life.
Mrs. Camille Davidson, the wife of
an advertising agent who exhibits
himself as an automaton and who has
worked from coast to coast, is the only
daughter of F. G. Schwartz, the mil
lionaire owner of a woman's clothing
store in indianapolis, the largest es-
tablishment of it's kind in the middle
west The father was notified of his
daughters death Sunday night and
wired a reply yesterday morning to
Mrs. Lyons The body will be sent
to Indianapolis Wednesday morning.
The drinking of carbolic acid Sun
day night was Mrs. Davidson's method
of unwinding an apparently hopeless
tangle of love affairs. Less than
twelve hours before the suicide oc-
CURED a reconciliation had been eff
fected between Mrs. Davidson and her
husband and the friends of both
thought that the matrimonial career
of the young people would be peace
able in the future. But Mrs. David
son was haunted by the fear that her
husband would not remain true to her
and that he had not renounced finally
a young woman to whom he had been
paving attentions, even though that
yerv afternoon, in the presence of both
his wife and the other young woman,
he had promised to live with his wife.
Promises to Live with Wife
Both Mrs. Davidson and the other
Young woman had been intimate
friends of Mrs. Lyons in Indianapolis.
When the Davidsons, the Lyons and
the other young woman had all come
TO Los Angeles, it is alleged that
Davidson abandoned his bride of two
months and devoted himself to the
other young woman. AS both girls
were friends of Mrs. Lyons, she did all
in her power to straighten out the af-
