organized in central California, with
Fresno as the business center.
Hurst said that an effort will be
made TO extend the movement as far
south as the San Diego county line;
also that the entire white laundry in
dustry in Los Angeles has been organ
ized against Japanese competition.
Hurst reported that he had waited
on the secretary of the Portola festival
committee in relation to the placing of
Japanese laundry advertisements in
the official program and had been in
formed that inasmuch as the Japanese
through their ambassador has con-
tributed to the festival fund advertise
ments, IL offered, could not be refused
but that solicitors will be instructed
not to solicit advertisements from
Japanese.
New bylaws were presented and
adopted.
1t was reported that arrangements
posed amendments to the city ordi-
nance regulating laundries to the
board of health for its Endorsement, and
that Doctor Richardson of the tuber-
culosis society had promised TO aid in
having the matter favorably consid-
cred.
The league decided not to dabble in
any way with politics and not allow
candidates cards to be displayed in
headquarters.

SPRfCK[lS ESTATE
CONTEST DELAYED
Substitution of Cushing & Cush-
ing for c. S. Wheeler
Causes Continuance
Speculation Rife as to Reason
for Changes in Attorneys
Defending the Will

The legal attack on the will OF
Claus Spreckels was not begun in
Judge Coffey's court yesterday because
of the retirement of Charles 5.
Wheeler as leading counsel for Ru-
dolph and August Spreckels, executors
and trustees under the will.
When the demurrer of John D.
Spreckels and AdoIph B. Spreckels to
the petition of the trustees for par
tfal distribution of the estate, which is
estimated to be worth between $4,000
600 and $4,000, 900, was called yester-
day afternoon. Cushing & Cushing,
who had been substituted for Wheeler,
asked for a continuance which would
give them time to prepare. A continu-
ance until August % was thereupon
granted
CHANGE CAUSES SPECULATION
Speculation is rife as to the cause of
the retirement of Wheeler from the
case. The conjecture of one of the in
terested parties was that Wheeler pre-
terred not to defend q will similar
to the Fair will, which he succeeded
in breaking for the contestants.
IL happens that the SprecKelS Will,
which was drawn by New York ex-
pert, is very similar to the Fair viii
regarding the establishment of trust.
The sugar king died December 26, 1908,
and left his property to his widow.
his two sons Rudolph and August and
his daughter, Mrs. Emma c. Ferris. No
provision was made for John ID. and
Adolph B. Spreckels. A trust was
created to be continued during the life
of the widow when the property is to
be divided among the three children
mentioned in the will.
VALIDITY OF WILL attacked
When the trustees petitioned last
May to have a partial decree of dis
tribution made, transferring certain
property from the estate 10 the trust,
Morrison, Cope & Bobeck, attorneys for
John D. and Adolph B. Spreckels, filed
a demurrer. Should the decree of dis
tribution be made the validity of the
Will would be established. Conse-
quently the fight on the demurrer will
go TO the real merits of the contest.
Gushing & Gushing could not say
Yesterday why Wheeler had withdra wn
from the case: They said that the mat
ter had come to them through the usual
course of business. The members OF
the law firm are the nephews of James
X. Moffitt cashier of the First national
bank, of which Rudolph Spreckels is
president
Wheeler is out of the city, and J. F,
Bowie his chief assistant. declined to
discuss the reason for Wheeler's re-
tirement from. the case.

KANSAS CAPITALIST FARMER
LIKES TO VISIT VALLEY
E. f. Madden, Leaving for Home,
Talks of Crop Prospects In His
Home State.

E. F. Madden of Hays City. Kansas,
farmer and capitalist, who has been
in the city for the past ten days, left
on the branch train this morning.
He will stop off at Harlingen for a
day or two and perhaps at the Arm
strong ranch for another day before
finally starting for home.
Mr.. Madden is no stranger to
Brownsville. Business has called
him here several times, and he likes
this friendly climate. In his own
words. When the weather up North
is too hot, l come down here to get
cooled off by the Gulf breeze, ans.
likewise, when it is too cold in the
North, | seek the same Gulf breeze
to keep my temperature at normal
am sorry didn't have an emporium
lty of visiting Tarpon beach this trip.
I've swung from the Bay of Fundy
clear around to Vancouver, and as
far as bathing is concerned, like a
dip in the Gulf off Padre Island, as
well as any other resort along the
entire jagged coast line -
Speaking of crop prospects in Kan
sas, Mr.. Madden who owns consider
able land there, said, that wheat was
very poor this year in his section.
His home county, containing 100000
acres, which grew over p million
bushels of wheat last year, he said,
would not make more than three
bushels to the acre this year. On
rental basis of one-third, the land
lord stands to make from 80 cents to
S1.OO per acre. Even in the best
years, he never made more than So
from the rental of wheat land. The
prospects for the Kansas corn crop, |
however, are much better Mr.. Madden |
says, in fact. very large crop is in
sight and he is figuring on a return |
of $3.50 per acre from rented corn
land
