a holdup suspect, refused permission
TO communicate with his friends and

AWAIT CITY'S ACTION

Why Construction Is Delayed

OAKLAND, May 1.-THE harbor
commission is in receipt Of a letter
from City Engineer Frederick c. Tur-
ner. setting forth in part plans and
specifications for the proposed quay
wall TO be constructed along the Oak
land side of the estuary from Broad
way to Myrtle street, and wherein Tur-
ner states that although plans for con-
struction have been prepared formal
presentation Of the same could not be
made until instructions are received
covering the exact lands that will be
owned by the city and the exact por-
tions that will probably be omitted.
Although the city has had options
for the acquisition of certain lands af-
fected by the proposition for some
time. resulting in some purchases, the
only property at present in the abso-
lutte hands OF the city lies between JEFF
ferson and Myrtle streets.
A communication was also received
from Oliver Ellsworth. attorney and
trustee for z. NJ. Derby & Co, lessees

pital at the foot Of Broadway, to the
effect that. although the company did

itably. the company would be willing
10 let the use of the wharf to the city
under revocable permit, on condition

MOTHER silent
FOR THIRTY YEARS
Family Feud OF Long Stand
ing Told OF in Schiller
Contest

OAKLAND. May 11-"She walked
right by me at my brother Johns
funeral without speaking. For 80 years
she never showed the slightest interest
in me. Is that the way a mother shows
her maternal feeling? You ask me why
1 never want to see her. She never. in
all my life. gave the slightest indica-
ton that she wanted to see me-"
With these words, Mrs Sarah X.
Hulse today summed up the situation
between herself and her mother, Mrs.
Rose C. Schiller. who is lighting to take
away from Mrs. Hulse a share in the
$4,000 estate of the late Lorenz L.
Schuler son of one woman ana brother
or the other. Mrs. Hulse occupied the
witness stand this afternoon in Judge
Wells court, and told of her mothers
callousness in response to the cross
examination of Attorney NJ. C. Hassett.
Ever since 1874 the SCHUYLER family
relations were shattered, and the cause
OF 1t all was the accusation of the late
Henry Schiller, pioneer brewer, that
ms son Henry was not his son. Two
divorce suits were begun, but neither
of them was finished. The elder
Schuler took all his children except
Henry, and drove his wife and this
last child out of his home. Lorenz. one
OF the sons, made a fortune In a brew
cry in Alameda, and IT is over this
fortune that his relatives are now
struggling. He left all of it to his
sister. neglecting his mother and
brother entirely. They now claim that
Mrs. Hulse Influenced him unduIy by
dining in his ears the old story of his
fathers wrongs.
Judge Wells ruled out of evidence all
efforts made TO discuss the paternity of
Henry Schiller, the younger, or what
was said about it at any time by the
elder Schiller.
The case is being heard before a
jury. Mrs. Schiller. the contestant. was
placed on the witness stand just be-
fore court adjourned today.

able to cover the entire city. He states
that while some have supposed that a
suitable building could be built for less
than the 100000 sought, the King s
Daughters are considering future needs
for home. which is the only one of its
kind in California.
