WILL ATTACK WILL Ignored Sons of Clans Sprecklea to Contest tor Property BAN FRANCISCO, May IT. Legal proceedings, the effect of which will be to test the validity of the will of the late Clans 8preckles, were begun today. The will divided the estate into equal parte. The widow received one without restriction and the other half was placed In the bands of Ru dolph and Claus A. Sprecklea, two of the tour sons as trustees. During tbe lifetime of the widow, ahe re ceives an Income from the whole es tate. At her death, tbe half placed In trust Is to be divided into three parts, Rudolph and Clause get two parts outright and hold the other iu trust for Sprecklea' daughter, Emma C. Ferris, who is to receive an Income durlag her lifetime. By the terms of the will John D. and Adolph 8preckles are practical ly Ignored.
