KLEINS CONTEST
SHERIFF'S SALE
Ask Court to Declare Default
Judgment Entered Against
Them Void

OAKLAND, Oct 1S.-Proceeings to
set aside default judgment that they
allege was obtained against them by
deceit were begun today by Sigmund
and Milton Klein, who were sued by
their brother, Harry Klein. The latter
has adjusted his difficulties with his
brothers. which grew out of their joint
ownership of stock in a company own
ing the Maryland apartment house, and
the default Judgment, which resulted
in the sale of $4,000 worth of stock, is
alleged to have been secured at the in
stance of f. J. Greenhood.
Greenhood, with his father, Max
GREENWOOD, and the latter's wife, were
the other owners of the stock While
the suit between the Klein brothers
was pending, Attorney George Samuels
tried to make peace in the family. and
secured many continuances, SO that liti-
cation might finally be avoided. He
made affidavit today that he was as
sured by Attorney Thomas F. AGraber
representing the plaintiff, that no de-
Harry Klein. the plaintiff, Samuels
says. was willing to~come to terms. but
in spite of this fact, and in spite of
Graders alleged assurance, default
Judgment was taken, and the stock OF
Sigmund and Milton Klein was sold by
the sheriff
Greenhood bought it in at a bar
gain, according to the Kleins, and they
accuse him of being the person who
had the default Judgment taken and the
stock sold quietly. The court is asked
to declare this sale void, as we'll as to
set aside the Judgment that preceded it.

"Wife" of John Beck Will Be
Tried in San Francisco
for Bigamy

OAKLAND, Oct 1s.-Join Beck s
matrimonial bureau marriage with the
thrice married Anne Koehler was an
nulled today by Judge Ogden on the
ground that Louis Koehler, the
woman's husband. was alive and undi-
vorced at the time she married Beck.
Mrs. koehler is in jail awaiting investi-
CATION on charges Of bigamy and per-
jury, and Koehler is detained with her.
Beck, who Is wealthy rancher and
manager of the Alameda sugar COM
pany. married the woman in December,
1903, some months after the death of
his wife. He met Mrs. Koeh1er through
her mother, Mrs. Amelia Lohenberg,
who conducted matrimonial bureau
in San Francisco. Mrs. Koehler repre-
sented that she was unmarried and
agreed to become his wife. At the
time she was living with Koehler and
her five children. She told Beck that
koehler was the husband of her sister
and that the children also were her
sisters. During the courtship she went
to a sanatoriun in San Francisco and
gave birth to child unknown to Beck.
She told the latter that her mother was
III and that an operation was to be
performed on her, obtaining $500 from
him in this way and accounting for her
absence from him by saying that she
had to nurse her mother.
about $4,000 to pay off chattel mort
cages on her furniture, and that after
their marriage she made heavy de-
mands on him for money
All this time, he declares, she lived
with him part 'of the time and part of
the time with Koehler in San Fran
cisco He found 1t out at last and went
to District Attorney Donahue, who in
yestigated and found that she was
married to Koeh1ersand that she had
contracted another bigamous marriage
with a man named Wallace in Los An
geles. Wallace, however, is dead.
These facts came out last week In
Judge Ogdens court. Mrs. Koehler had
sued Beck for divorce and had asked
for aliniony. Beck filed a cross COM
plant. asking that the marriage be
annulled on the ground of bigamy.
Judge Ogden ordered Mrs. Koehler and
her husband locked up and they have
been In the county Jail since. Formal
charges will be made against them in
San Francisco, as the bigamy was COM
mitted there.

REGULARS TO HASTEN
ACTION ON RAIL BILL
They Accept Amendments Of Minor
importance and Permit Adoption
Without Roll Call.

WASHINGTON. June 3.-In an eff
fort to hasten action on the senate
railroad bill. regular leaders yester-
day began to accept amendments
of miner importance or permit their
adoption without roll call. This action
however, has aroused the suspicion
of non-regulars that things are not
what they seem,
A great number Of amendments
were pending when the senate re-
sumed consideration of the bill. The
Crawford amendment, first Of those
taken up, was rejected without a roll
call. Its author intended that the
amendment should take the place of
the one proposed by Senator Bailey,
prohibiting railroads from doing other
than a transportation business, which
went down in defeat yesterday. Craw'
ford however. granted the railroads
the right TO engage In a timber and
lumber business.
A motion BY Senator Sutherland,
rep. Utah) TO table a substitute
amendment by Senator Overman prac.
tically proposing to insert in the bill
tho provisions of the administration
anti-injunction measure, 10 apply 10
railroads, was defeated % to 81, IL
Republicans voting against II.
Overman's substitute amendment
was adopted thirty-three to twenty
eight.
But for the fact that Senator Over
man succeeded his provision in haV'
ing the senate incorporate in the rail
road bill the senate probably would
have voted on the railroad bill before
adjournment yesterday.
The acceptance Of that provision
had the effect Of inclining some dem
ocrats more favorably TO the bill and
Of causing the Democratic side OF the
chamber TO request an opportunity
for consultation before reaching the
voting stage on the final passage. Ac
cordingly, the vote was postponed tC
permit a Democratic conference which
will he held at L O'clock today
