SAN FRANCISCO, August 6.-The
Examiner says that the purported
"lost will" of the late Mark Hopkins,
multimillionaire railroad builder and
California pioneer, was brought to
this city Wednesday night and today
will become the foundation of legal
attack upon the Hopkins fortune,
now estimated as in excess Of

upheld as the genuine will Of the
famous member of the big four"
who built the Central Pacific Rail-
road, it will divert the Hopkins for
tune to 1877 heirs and upset all recog-
nizcd genealogies of the Hopkins
family.
The central figure in the litigation
is P. 3. McCandles, a San Jose lathing
contractor. McCandles claims to be
the grandson of Martin Hopkins, men,
toned in the alleged document as one
of Marks brothers.
Hopkins died October 90, 1873. No
will was found and his estate, then
appraised at about $40, 900 900, was
distributed among various relatives.
The new contestants for a share of
the fortune claim that on December

to have never revealed the will, and
it's existence was not disclosed until
found in her former home by her
grandson, David S. Moore. The docu-
ment was illiterally written on a
single piece of paper.
Doubt as to the authenticity of the
will already has been expressed.
Boutwell, Dunlap, an authority on
California history, said that Hopkins
was bookkeeper for the big four"

Official Says.

by the Associated Press.
OMAHA, Nebr., August 6.-The
Union Pacific Railroad gradually will
replace it's woman employees on the
Omaha to Ogden, Utah, system by
men as vacancies occur in all posi-
tons, except stenographers and
comptometer operators, under an
order issued by w. M. letters, general
manager.
G. H. Sines, assistant to the vice
president in charge of operations, ex-
planned that no woman would be dis
missed.
Sines declined to discuss reasons for
the order, or whether 1t would extend
to other parts of the Union Pacific
system, which includes lines west of
Ogden and through Kansas.
About 500 women are now employed
at Omaha headquarters, one-third of
them stenographers and comptometer
operators.
The normal replacement of woman
employees is said to be large, due to
the fact that many marry each year
or leave for other reasons, leading to
the belief that woman workers will be
cut to nominal figure in a few years.
