RUTAN HEIRS SEEK WEALTH 3.
GIVEN SCHOOL AND CHURCH
Occidental College and Pomona
ChiIdren's Society Affected

An action in which Henry T. Rutan
and Abraham Rutan, children and
heirs of sister of the late Laurence
D. Rutan, are seeking to secure prop
erty willed by the widow of the latter
for charitable purposes, was heard be-
fore Judge Moss yesterday and taken
under submission.
The defendants named in the COM
plant are the Occidental college, the
First Presbyterian church, John A.
Gallup and the Children's Home So
ciety of Pomona. The plaintiffs de-
clared that their aunt, Mrs. Jane
Rutan, who became heir to the late
Laurence Rutans property, and who
died recently, had given three-fourths
of the estate of $46S41 for charitable
purposes, when the California law pro-
vides that not more than one-third of
an estate may be given.
They allege the college received a
beouest equivaelnt to $25,000 the Chill
dren's Home society about $4,000 and the
First Presbyterian church a similar
amount The plaintiffs declare that as
legal heirs of the deceased they are
entitled to at least two-thirds of the
estate.
It is claimed that Gallup was
awarded the most of the estate in
secret trust for the benefit of the de-
PENDANTS.

Boat; CREW SAVED
Capt. Smith Rescues Eight from
Schooner Wrecked on Santa
Rosa Island
DORA BLUHM A TOTAL LOSS
Lookout Takes RoCk-bound Coast
for Fog Bank-VeSSel
Breaks AmidShipS
Especial to The Herald)


SAN PEDRO, May 27.-For the third
time in eighteen years Captain Alex.
Smith of the Power schooner santa
Rosa Island, this morning brought
shipwrecked crew of eight men to TINS
port from a vessel lost on the rocks OF
Santa Rosa island. The three-masted
schooner Dora Bluhm was wrecked
Wednesday night at S:I0 O'Clock wfliie
on the way to this port seven days
from Coos Bay with 350,000 feet of lum-
ber for the Golden State Lumber COM
pany. All hands were saved.
The crew was picked up eight miles
south of Anacapa island last night at
o'clock after twenty-five hours IN an
omen boat without food or water. They
were wet to the skin and nearly ex-
hausted from hard work at the oars
to keep from drifting onto the rocks
For nine hours after leaving the
wreck six of the crew pulled steadily
at the cars in a strong current and
heavy sea. Then an improvised sail
was hoisted and the boat made for the
mainland. OFF Anacapa Island the wind
died out and the men had to take to
the oars again to keep off the rocks
Alex. Winter, a sailor fell overheard
in getting into the boat, and was res
cued by Jack Stevens, the second mate
just as he was about to be dashed on
the rocks by a breaker. Winter was
struck in the chest, but is not seriously
injured He laid in the bottom of the
boat all night with NJ. Norden, the
first mate, who was deathly sick. while
their shipmates pulled at the oars.
There was a haze hanging over the
islam when the steamer struck the
rocks, which John Lindon, the man on
watch mistook for a fog bank. Max
Dreger was at the wheel. The rudder
was carried away. There was strong
wind from the west, changing to north
west. and only the mainsail and fore
sail were unfurled.
1t took nearly an hour for the men
to lower a boat, and ten minutes after
they pushed away the schooner Droke
in two 1t is total loss.
CAPTAIN Oscar Johnson said today
that he had just changed the course of
the schooner after passing San Miguel
island. short time before she went
on the rocks. There was strong cur
rent running in the San Miguel pas
sage between San Miguel and Santa
Rosa. Islands, and whether the current
carried the vessel off her course or
whether the course was changed too
soon is in doubt.
The Dora Bluhm was owned by the
Pacific States Trading company of San
Francisco. She was built at Port
feet long, with a 33-foot beam and 10
foot draught. For several years she
had been engaged in cod fishing and
only lately Joined the lumber fleet.
The schooner went ashore near the
wreck of the British ship Golden Shore,
which went down in 1892 with $500 tons
of coal A short distance on the other
side of the British steamer, the Crown
of England, another collier, was
wrecked in 1896 Both crews were
brought here by Captain Smith. All
three wrecks might have been avoided
bv a light on Anacapa island, which
has been recommended by the light
house board.

ing created a veritable stir among

the past three weeks.
This Tremendous undertaking was
engineered by the New York and st.

st. Louis, Mo-. special sales concern
of Worldwide fame, whose speciality
is the managing. conducting and ad-
vertising of special sales for retail
merchants. The concern is reputed

aging of this huge sale. has been here
for three full weeks, preparing and
managing the sale with a vim, ener-
gy and originality that for itself would

himself has only to say that he kneN
what he could do before he started.
