OMAHA WOMAN
ASKING SHARE
Of BIG ESTATE
Charges Administrator With
Fraud and False Pretense;
Property Valued at
$4,000 Involved.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 1S-
Especial Telegram.)-Judge Ben
jamin F. Bledsow, sitting in the
United States district court here,
today began the hearing of the case
of Mrs. Johanna Schutt, 1922 North
Twenty second street. Omaha. Neb..
and Mrs. Louisa Pickens of Topeka
Kan, against M. T. Campbell of To-
peka, administrator of the estate of
the late Ferdinand Fensky, brother
of the Mrs. Schutt and Pickens, and
the late Mrs. Jeanette Fensky,
charging Campbell with fraud and
false pretense.
According to the plaintiffs, the
late Ferdinand Fensky in his will
left his estate of mor> than 100000
to his seven brothers and sisters
with the understanding that the
property was to be equally divided.
The plaintiffs allege that they
were each given $1,000 out of the
estate and that they signed waivers
quitting all claims against the estate.
Later they say they discovered that
tilSlC ldtS VI oliiCl llClulIiSo VI I'LL
Kansas and California land was
worth far more than the admins
traitor originally had told them.
Campbell, it is said, acted as repre-
sentative of Mrs. Fensky in Kansas
during her term as administrative of
her husbands estate. and, after her
death, he was appointed admins
traitor of her estate in Kansas.
The plaintiffs now ask that the
deeds be set aside on the grounds
that they were obtained by misrep-
resentation and fraud. The petit
TONERS further state that Mrs.
Fensky was an invalid and misled
by incorrect statements, said to
have been made On the part of
Campbell.
Ferdinand Fensky died at Los
Angles Harbor, San Pedro, on
August 7, 1908. The will contest,
which was begun in 1908 in the
Kansas courts, has only recently
been transferred to the jurisdiction
of the Los Angeles court.

tioning him last Monday. showed no
signs of reaching conclusion.
The examina ton of the witness on
the contents of the alleged libelous
editorial in the Tribune on June %,
1916, headed Ford is an Anarchist"
was the important feature of the day.
While Mr.. Stevenson was reading
the editocia. and asking questions
about its points, Mr.. Ford said:

Stevenson.
Alfred Lucking, senior counsel
for the plaintiff, jumped to his feet
and said:
THAT is objected to as brutal and
inhuman."
Mr.. Ford ignored this and re-
marked:
"As said, Mr.. Stevenson, I am ig
norant of most things"
In one comment on the editorial
Mr.. Ford said he considered the
whole article as bad. When Mr..
Stevenson made the statement that
] he takes the men who stand between
him and service and Furnishes them
for the service which protects him.,
Mr.. Ford said that it was not true.
do you claim that you did not
discourage men from military ser

ried Captain Cook February 2, 1852.
Shortly after the close of the civil

Captain Cook and the family moved
to Blair, Neb., and engaged in mer-
camille business. She and Captain

death, September II, 1895.
For the last few years Mrs. Cook

President Consults
Hitchcock on Treaty

treaty, but Mr.. Hitchcock said he did
not believe reports that the president
would be willing to accept such res
ervations provided they did not
vitiate the treaty provisions.
We shall continue our fight" said
the administration leader for rati-
hcation of the treay without single
change"
Fall Starts Furry.
The senate worked most of the
day on the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill, but issues of the treaty
fight were brought to the surface
during the session by Senator Fall,
republican, New Mexico, who of,
fered an amendment interpreted by
administration senators as propos-
ing to declare a status of peace with
Germany. There was a brief debate
and then the reference to a peace
status went out on a point of order.
The furry resulted in a quorum
call, however, and helped break up
a meeting at which the foreign re-
lations committee had planned to
continue its preliminary reading of
the treaty text. Desparing of con-
Guiding the reading this week, the
committee decided to adjourn until
Monday. The senate also adjourned
to Monday, when debate on the
treaty will be resumed.
At conference with republican
senators today, President Wilson
is understood to have taken definite
stand against entering the league of
nations with any idea of withdraw
ing as soon as the immediate issues
of the war have been finally settled.
He also is said to have re-empha-
sized his conviction that article 10
of the league covenant must not be
weakened if the league is to accom-
publish its purposes.
