There are two new provisions, based

WASHINGTON, January 13.-Some
republicans on Capitol Hill are unwill-

These republicans observe that
many of the academic discussions of
Roosevelt's present attitude and pos
sible future course branch out from
the premise that if he can be induced
to take the nomination, or decides TO
seek it and gets it, republican sue

SPRECKELS LITIGATION ENDED
BY SALE Of OCEANIC BONDS

SAN FRANCISCO, February B.
After more than two years bitter liti-
cation between Rudolph and Claus A.
Spreckels, as executors of the will of
the late Claus Spreckels, on the one
hand, and John d. and A. B. Spreckels
on the other, over the affairs of the
Oceanic Steamship Company, it was
announced yesterday that the plant
ifs have disposed of their bonds in
the company and the case will now
be dropped. In addition to the bonds
held personally by Rudolph and c. A.
Spreckels and those in the estate of
their mother they also disposed of the
similar securities remaining in their
charge as executors, and Judge Coffey
yesterday signed the papers confirm
ing the sale.
