SENSATIONS PROMISED IN
SPRtCKlES WILL CONTEST
Wills OF Claus Spreckels and Wife
Cut Off Oldest Sons With
out Money.
LAY BARE BITTER QUARREL

San Francisco Cal. March 11.-With
the ming i'm court today of a petition
for the admission TO probate of the
will of the late Mrs. Anna c. Spreck-
els widow of Claus Spreckes. the su-
gar magnate there was begun what
promises to develop into one of the
biggest will contests the West has
ever witnessed. The contest will be
co-incident with similar contest
over the will of Clous Spreckels. vino
died last December. In the wills OF
both Mr.. Spreckels and his widow, the
elder sons of the sugar king, John d.
and Adolph Sprecxels, were cut off
without cent The vast estates
were left TO the other children. Claus
a. Spreckcls, Rudolph Spreckels and
Mrs. Emma G. Ferris.
The will contests, it is expected. will
lay bare the skeleton of the Spreckels
family and the bitter war between
the brothers and their father. The
family troubles had their beginning
more than fifteen years ago and since
that time have received frequent air.
ings in the newspapers.
one of the peculiar features of the
case is that at the beginning of the
family feud the lineup of the So
called loyal and disloyal sons of the
sugar magnate was exactly the reverse
of what it was at the time of Mr..
Spreokels' death. In 1894 Claus a.
SpreckeIs sued his father to recover
stock i'm the Hawaiian Commercial
company. This suit was compromised,
and then Rudolph followed with a suit
to prevent the transfer of 100000
worth of stock held by his father as
security to the Nevada Bank. Both
sons declared that their father and
brothers were attempting to freeze
them out of the family enterprises.
Finally Claus A. Spreckels sued his
father for slander on account of a
newspaper interview, in which the
father said his son had wasted his
money and would soon be bankrupt.
These troubles, however, were ap-
parenty patched up. and then per-
sonal misunderstanding arose which
resulted in John u. and Adolph
Sprecklos incurring the parental dis
pleasure. The animosty between
these two sons and their father con-
tinued until the latter's death, as is
evidenced by the will of the sugar
king. which left the millions accumu-
lated i'm the sugar industry to the
widow in trust for Claus A. and Ru-
dolph Sprcckles and their sister, Mrs.
Emma G. Ferris.

600 connections year.
