Over the excited objections of Mrs.
Edna LOTUS Rheinstrom, who de-
clared that the whole proceeding was
merely part of a plot to separate her
from her husband, Harry Rheinstrom,
son of millionaire Cincinnati cordial
manufacturer, Peter Jorgensen was
yesterday appointed by Judge Dunno
fined in a Stockton private sanatorium.
Young Mrs. Rheinstrom, whose beauty
won her fame as an actress only sec
ond to that of her sister. Cissie Eof-
tus. was in court, and more than once
interrupted the proceedings.
That is a 1ie," she cried out when
Jorgensen testified that Rheinstrom
was in want of underclothing because
he and his wife spent his $500 monthly
allowance from Cincinnati in drinking
and debauchery. The judge either did
not hear or ignored the remark Mrs
Rheinstrom had as her attorney Robert
t. Devlin, the United States attorney
who made vigorous argument against
the appointment of Jorgensen. Max
well McNutt and ]. c. Meierstein
represented Rheinstrom's parents
The objection made by the actress
wife to Jorgensen's appointment was
that he was prejudiced against her

mother wishes to save him from fur

this woman. The wife is totally unit
to be his guardian. 1 make that state
ment guardedly. 1t may sound ungaI-
liant, but 1T is true"
I'VE withdraw her application to be
appointed, and ask the court to ap-
point any person except Jorgensen,' .
said Devlin-
Devlin read a letter Rheinstrom had
written to his wife from Stockton in
which he addressed her Dearest thing
on earth-my little wife,
Devlin went on to say that he be-
lieved the appointment OF Jorgensen
would be a step in the direction of
separating husband and wife, but
Judge Dunno said he had decided that
Jorgensen, from his friendship for
Rheinstrom, was the proper man to
be appointed guardian.

HEIRS fight Will
Of MRS. WENSINGER
Attack Bequests to Roman
Catholic Archbishop, a
Corporation
Contest Over the Estate OF S0-
noma Woman Again Crops
Up in Court

Another attempt by the O'Farren
heirs of Theresa wensinger to deprive
the Roman Catholic archbishop OF San
Francisco. a corporation, Of property
willed to it by Mrs. Wensinger was in
stituted yesterday in the form OF
superior court suit by Louis J. O'Far-
relI against the Union trust company.
Mrs. wensinger died in Sonoma Decen-
Der 1. 1905. She willed TO the Roman
Catholic archbishop in his corporate
capacity s40.59s27 and stock in the
silver King mining company valued at
1895. O'Farren wants the court to
declare that the Union trust company,
executor of the will. holds this property
in trust for the heirs at law, and that
the following proportions are due TO
the heirs named:
To Louis j. O'FarrelI $4. IS and is shares
o'Farrel1. 81. sol Sc and SIX shares; to John ].
Roche. S2.029.66 and seven shares; to Mary 2.

rel. s4,51O.36 and is shares; to Gerald 0Esr-
rell. $3,101 and II shares and to francis hoehe'
81. .029 and seven shares
The prayer is based on the technical
point that the life of the corporation
has expired by limitation and that
therefore 1T is not entitled TO possess
or handle property. The same polng
was made by O'Farrell in his contest OF
the quiet title suit brought by the
arch bishop.
The Roman Catholic archbishop was
incorporated February "a, 1854. Bishop

cumbent- 1t is contended by the O'F'ar-
rells that the period of existence Of the
corporation expired February "a, 1904.
A decree of distribution ordering the
property WiIled to the archbishop
turned over to him was made IN Sono-
ma county July 10. 1908. but it was
not until November Of that year, ae-
cording to the complaint fled yester-
