CLAUS AND RUDOLPH BEGIN
LITIGATION
First Step In What Promises to Be a
Lively Contest Over Big Estate
Is Taken Against Steam
ship Owner

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.-Suit was
brought today by Rudolph Spreckels
and Claus A. Spreckels, jr., as eXecu-
tors of the estate of the late Claus
Spreckels, to have the Union Trust
company removed from the trustee
ship of the estate.
The complaint alleges that the trust
company is dominated by John D.
Spreckes. who has caused it to refuse
to foreclose upon the Oceanic Steam
ship company, which is debtor to the
estate.
1t is alleged the Oceanic Steamship
company, the majority of the stock of
which is owned by John D. Spreckels,
has failed to pay the semi-annual in
terest on 609 of its bonds, of the par
value of $1,000 each belonging to the
estate; that the trust company has
made no effort to collect the amount
due and has refused to foretclose, as is
stipulated in the deed of trust given
when the bonds were issued.
The court is asked to appoint an
other trustee, not named or Influenced
by the Oceanic Steamship company or
John d. Spreckels
The latter is contesting the will of his
father, Claus Spreckels, who left the
entire estate of $4,000 900 to the widow
and two sons, Rudolph and Claus A.
Spreckels.

MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA.
REVISED.
BY S. Grady.
REVISED.

Let us get together, boys, and own
the truth at last,
For the Carpet-Bagger reign is now
forever past;
And we know you've whipped your
selves, and can but stand aghast,
Since you went marching through
Georgia.
Chorus:
Hurrah! hurrah the right doth now
prevail;
Hurrah. hurrah! we ne'er expect to
fail,
For we've pulled our ship of state in
from the awful gale,
We are now reigning in Georgia. =.

Sherman felt like Nero, who looked
on burning Rome
AS he rode through villages, and
burned the peoples homes.
AS he frightened ladies, and made
little children groan
While they went marching through
Georgia.

Then he smelled the odor of the ne
SrO6S IN MS wake,
Whom he taught their only friends
they should forever hate,
For he meant that savages the Gov
eminent should take
Since he went marching through
Georgia.
(Chorus)
How a real Caucasian could such
scheme devise,
Fore'er will be the mystery as gen
erations rise;
Yet they crowed like bantams, their
own flesh and blood despised
While they went marching through
Georgia.
But they'll help to eat the hash they
for us did prepare
For they're now entangled in the
CALLING negro snare;
Sambos now menace to their
homes and daughters fair,
Cause they went marching through
Georgia.
(Chorus)
But we'll not forsake them when the
awful curse they feel
Tor we now await the war amend
ments to repeal
For we're Anglo-Saxon, and our
greatness we'll reveal,
Though they went marching through
Georgia.

habitat Is, in fact, the wide, wide world.

immigrants from coming among us. 1t

years ago, but more insidious and danger

but hasty benevOlence of Mr.. John d.

BY the gift of s. 100000 from Mr.. Rookie

the exaggerated statements and erroneous
conclusions of a sensational penny-a-line

Even though the oil magnate had an Ill

II is certain that the sufferers
are helpless TO remedy their own unhappy
condition, and only the man in undis-
puted control OF large means could pro-
vide for a campaign OF eradication which
would heavily tax the resources even OF
