WOMAN LOSES SUIT TO
BREAK HER SONS WILL
Judge Wells Decides Undue In
fluence Not Used

OAKLAND, May 2S.-Mrs.~ Rose C.
Schuler failed to break the will of her
son, Lorenz l.. Schuler. the late Ala
media brewer, who left an estate of
$4,000 to his sister, Mrs. Sarah K.
Hulse. Judge Wells today granted a
nonsuit in the will contest, holding
that Mrs. Schuler had failed to show
that Schuler was of unsound mind.
Several days ago he granted a nonsuit
on the score that she had not made
out a case of undue influence on the
part of Mrs. Hulse.
Attorney M c. Hassett, representing
Schuler's mother, gave notice of ap-
peal.
Many family skeletons were dragged
out of their closets during the trial.
In 1874 the elder Schuler, long since
dead accused his wife of being false
to him and declared that Henry Schu-
Ter, her youngest child, was not his
son. He drove her out of his home
and various lawsuits between them
were pending for years.

the jury that the testimony can not

up a portion of the school land in
the forest reserve in order to help
pay the expense Of the reserve crea-
