TO SHARE BIG ESTATE
Report Says Claimant for Part Of
100000 Sets Herself Up as
"0nly Legal Wife" ''
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO. December IL
The Examiner says today that petit
ton seeking a share in the 100000
estate of the late w. H. Ochsner, archi-
tect and former Stanford University in
structor, had been filed in Superior
Court here by Mrs. Frances A. Ochsner
of La Crosse, Wis.
Filing Of the document, the paper as
serted, brought to light secret Wis
consin University romance OF more
than IS years ago.
Ochsner died in April, 1925, little
known and possessed of only moderate
means. But he owned extensive leases
in the Kettleman hills oil field, which
were developed soon afterward, making
him a posthumous millionaire. Claim
ants to the estate have since multiplied.
Mrs. Ochsner declared herself to have
been the architects first and. there
fore, "only legal wife" Others in the
contest for the fortune include Mrs
Hilda CARING Ochsner of San Francisco
to whom Ochsner ostensibly was mar
RED when he died, and Mrs. Nancy
Ochsner Badly, who is pressing civil
claim on the ground that Ochsner con-
cealed from her his vast oil holdings.

Still Critical
Slight Temperature In

Action Well Sustained.

OE EWVAASlH4INGTON, ' Nov. 14-The
condition of Secretary of War James
M. Good continued critical today
following an unusually difficult
operation Wednesday for appendi-
citis.
Reports from Walter Reed hos
pital to President Hoover at noon
told of a slight increase in tempera-
ture during the morning, but this
was held by attending physicians to
be normal reaction in patient
suffering local peritonitis.
The patients heart action and
pulse continued to be we'll sustained,
rejecting an unusual reserve of
energy and vitality The critical
period will not be reached until
Saturday noon.
Although every circumstance ap-
pears to favor Good, thus far, ply
sicians declared, no final prognosis
can be attempted until it is deter
mined whether the infection caused
by the perforated appendix has been
checked.
Good had only a fair night, his
rest being broken frequently. Dur
ing the morning he dozed almost
constantly, but when awake was
mentally alert and in good spirits.

FUND LACK BLAMED
Community House Has No
Gas Connections.

Until new budget funds become
available Jan. / the Brookside Com
munity house must remain without
telephone and gas connections, al
though new gas range stands wait
ing in the kitchen.
Lack of funds to run an under
ground line from the street to the
building was given as the reason for
failure to make the gas connection.
The building has been in use several
months.
The architect failed to include the
cost of underground gas and tele-
phone connections in the estimate
Park Engineer j. E. Perry said. The
building is without a telephone be-
cause the Indiana Bell Telephone
Company refused to put in an un-
derground line from the street, he
added.
