THE MOK!?IOT OJRBGONIA2?, PBIDAT, MAY 12, 1XK. It MILLION RND ft HALF AT STAKE Relatives of the Late Amanda W. Reed Contest Her - Will. RESIDENCE THE QUESTION If Her Home Was in Pasadena, the Bequest to Heed Institute Is Void, If In Portland the Legacy Is Legal. The hearing of the contest of heirs of the late Amanda W. Reed against her will. which disposes of property Valued at about $1,500,000. began yes terday morning before Judge "Webster. The Inventory filed In the Multnomah County Court contains a list of prop erty appraised at 1,370,000, and there is property In Pasadena appraised at more than $150,000. Mrs. Reed be queathed the bulk of her estate, amounting to more than $1,000,000, to Rev. T. L. Eliot, Judge a B. Bellinger. C A. Dolph. William E. Robertson and Martin "Winch, as trustees, to found an Institute of learning to be known as "Reed Institute," in memory of her husband, Simeon G. Reed. The con testants contend that Mrs. Reed was a resident of Pasadena at the tlmo of her death, and that under the laws of California it is Illegal for a person to devise by will more than one-third of an estate for charitable purposes, and os Mrs. Reed bequeathed the greater portion of her estate to charitable in stitutions, the instrument will not hold. If such a decision be rendered, the property devised to charitable con cerns, including the Reed Institute, will go to the contestants. Names of the Contestants. The relationship and residences of Ihe contestants are: Emily Pickering, sister, and Sarah A. Robertson, niece, Portland: Abigail Baxter "Wood, niece, ai.d John H. Wood, nephew. Quincy, Mass : W. H. Faxon, nephew, Buffalo; Helen Faxon Passmore, niece. Phila- cVlphla; Rose Wood Brainard. niece; William H. Wood, nephew; Orinne ood, niece; Stella Wood, niece, and Nellie Wood, niece, Pasadenn. The contestants are represented by Judge Gibson, an attorney from Los Angeles, and William M. Gregory, of this city, and Joseph Simon and Judge M. L. Pipes appear as counsel in sup port of the will. A statute of California pertaining to - bequests is relied upon by the contest ants, which provides: "No estate, real or personal, shall be bequeathed or devised to any charit able or benevolent society, or corpora tion, or to any person or persons in trust for charitable uses, except the same be done by will duly executed at least 30 days prior to such death, and if so made at least 30 days prior to such death, such devise or legacy, and each of them, shall be valid; provided, that no such devises or bequests shall collectIely exceed one-third of the estate of the testator leaving legal heirs, and In such case a .pro rata de dut tion from such devises or bequests shall be made so as to reduce the ag gregate thereof to one-third of such estate; and all depositions of property made contrary thereof shall be void and go to the residuary legatees or de visees, next of kin. or heirs, according to law.'' Mrs. Reed executed her will several sears before her death, consequently the only portion of this statute which applies is that which prohibits the giving of more than one-third of an estate for charitable or benevolent purposes. The attorneys for the contestants al lege in their petition that Mrs. Reed was a resident of Pasadena when she died and that the California statute referred to is now and was at the time of the execution of the will In full fone and effect in California and also in Oregon governing the disposal by v.iU and the distribution of personal estates of nonresident decedents leav ing personal estates In the State of Oregon. The personal property was appraised ttt $553,522. Several witnesses were called by Judge Pipes and Mr. Simon to prove that while Mrs. Reed and her husband, S. G. Reed, lived for a time in Pasadena, their home was in Portland, and they never lost their legal residence here. Principal among these were Martin Winch, nenhew of Mrs. Reed, who man aged her business affairs, and his wif. Mrs. Winch's Testimony. Mrs. Winch proved an Interesting witness and related how Mrs. Reed al ways spoke of Portland as "home," and came here in the Summer, living in Pasadena in the Winter. Mrs. Winch and Mrs. Reed were almost insepar- nble, and Mrs. Winch knew Mrs. Reed's personal affairs better than anybody else. She related that Mrs. Reed rf 'alned her church membership in Port land, also her society affiliations, and paid her dues to them regularly. Mrs. Reed subscribed to scats In a church In Pasadena, but did so at the earnest so licitation of the minister to help 11 along. Mrs. Winch told how Mr. and Mrs. Reed first went to Southern California. Mr. Reed was ordered by his physician to retire from business life altogether. Mr. Reed remarked that If he had to loaf ho could not stay in Portland, where he knew so many people who were always busy, but would have to go where loafers were, so he ,went on trips to California, and moved to Pasa dena in 1S9S. He died in 1895. After his death Mrs. Reed brought th body" home to Portland, and the rn mains were interred in RIvervIew Cemetery. Mrs. Rood was buried be side her husband. The witness said the residence of Mrs. Reed was always In Portland. She never thought of any o her place as. her residence, although she was attached to "Carmelita." ber beautiful place in Pasadena, where ah . passed the Winters. Martin Winch testified In a like man ner, and also explained that the busi ness interests of Mr. and Mrs. Reed were all in Portland, and ho attended to them. Their main bank accounts were here, and when they bought prop erty In California the money cams from here. Only a small bank accouat was carried in Pasadena, which was replenished from time to time. from. Portland. Mrs. Reed came here a great deal after her removal to Southern California, This was always cousid ered her real home. Legacies in Will.

This time he was caught with a lady's gold watch and chain en him. which waa Identified at headquarters as one recently stolen with other Jewelry from the residence of A. E. Hacker, at Mount Tabor. That Tost was In Portland with a partner waa learned by the police, and yester day Detectives Day and AVelner determined to find him. After long search, they located htm at First and Alder streets. Day was some distance from Welner at the time, and Welner placed Post under arrest alone. Post made a 'break for liberty, which Day saw. and called to Welner to shoot. If necsary to effect the capture. Welner drew his revolver, but when Post heard Day's command, he turned and surrendered. Hundreds of people were In th viclnltj-. and great excitement followed the sen rational scene between detectlven and their prisoner. Post was escorted to police headquarters, handcuffed, and locked up. When searched, the gold watch and chain and a complete outfit for burglar were found In his possession. He had keys to at any lock, and tools to facilitate his operations. Post did one year's" time In the Washington Penitentiary, at Walla Walla, for robbery of freight cars on the Northern Pacific road.

He robbed the offices of a local physician, and wax captured by Detectives Day and Welner. who again, caught him yesterday. He war sentenced to two and one-half years In the Oregon Penitentiary. The police say because of the "refusal of Governor Chamberlain to f urnUh them with notifications of the release of convicts. It was not known here when Post got out. The manner of the burglar) at the Hacker residence leJ the detectives to believe it was perpetrated by Poet, and their theory waa apparently proved beyond doubt when the watch wan found In his possession yesterday. The remainder of the ' Jewelry will be recovered. It is thought, as Past's room has been located. of an Insanely jealous disposition, and has frequently accused her of infidelity. She says he has been so abusive and threat ening that for her own safety and that of her children she was recently com pelled to flee from her home. Mrs. Meade further avers in her complaint that her friends have been afraid to visit her for fear her husband would Insult them. She also asserts that she locked herself and children in a room and Meade threatened to break In the door with an ax, and he afterwards removed the door entirely.

The case was dismissed In the State Circuit Court yes terday by Bernstein & Cohen, attorneys for Her. The suit was instituted on April 25. when a meeting of a large number of the prin cipal hopgrowers was in session in Port land. The avowed purpose of the meet ing was to keep up the price of hops, and Her in his complaint asked the court to enjoin the combine on the ground that it would be unlawful, and create a restraint of trade, to the Injury of himself and oth er hopbuyers. The injunction order was not Issued for the reason that the attor neys for Her did not push the matter.

RESOLUTIONS UNDER WAY Southern Republic Holds Train Men Responsible for Accidents, and State Department AVII1 Take Up Jlatter. Resolutlonsprotesting against the treat ment of American railway men in Mexico will be passed by the conductor' con vention now being held In this city and will be forwarded to the State Depart ment at Washington, with a request that they be acted upon. This the convention determined to do at a late hour yester day afternoon, and the resolutions are now being prepared by a committee. It Is a well-known fact that railway men are held responrfbie In Mexico for accidents to trains running under their supervision. If there Is a disaster and Mexican subjects are killed, the members of the train crew are generally hurried off to a prison cell, there to remain un til the authorities feel disposed to put the cases to trial. It is also contended that the trials are farces and that the railway men get no Justice, often being held to acccount for accidents that the trainmen could not prevent. Another contention Is that German, French and British subjects are treated more leni ently than American citizens. This state of affairs has been a fact for a long period of time, and the conductors, espe cially tho.e who run trains Into Mexican territory, have determined to do all In their power to Influence the State De partment to act In the matter. Aside from this, yesterday's session was occupied by routine matters. Revision of the by-laws was discussed and several rulings were made ln matters pertaining to the welfare of the order. It Is antici pated that the business- sessions will be over by Saturday night, and that the del egates, after spending Sunday as the guests of the Lewis and Clark Centennial, will return to their homes Monday. The election of officers and the selection of the meeting place for 1907 will probably take place tomorrow morning. So far no WHAT THE CONVENTION I)II YESTERDAY. Protested against treatment of American railroad men In Mexico. Discussed changes in the by-laws of the order. informally considered candidates for the convention of 1907. Auxiliary discussed lowering of benefit age limit. Decided to adjourn. If possible, on Saturday night. opposition has arisen to the re-election of Grand Chief Conductor E. E. Clark, and he will in all probability be re-elected. The race for the next convention Is warm. Memphis is still in the lead, and her backers are enthusiastic, losing no chance to Impress upon the minds of the delegates that the next convention should be held there. Atlantic City ha? now en tered the race and is considered a for midable opponent by the other cities, as it seems to hare a special attraction for a great many delegates. Cincinnati Is still bidding for the convention, while Boston Is by no means distanced. The election of officers for the Auxiliary will probably take place today. It Is ex pected that the present officers will be re-elected. Mrs. J. M. Sewell Is Instruct ing 30 ladle? ofthe order In a Japanese drill, which Is to be given at the Armory tomorrow night at 8 o'clock for the benefit of the women of Mount Hood division. The drill will be given In Jap anese costume. One of the leading matters being con sldered by the Auxiliary Is the advlsabll Ity of lowering the age limit in the benefit Or Insurance department. The limit at the present time is 55 years, but It Is probable that It will be lowered to 50 years. The matter will be settled this snornlng. The ladles In -particular are charmed with Portland aad Portland's rosea and appear to never tire of praising the city and Its environment. The Auxiliary Initiated eight ladles Into the mysteries of the order yesterday af ternoon at Allsky Hall. President Mrs. J. W. Crocker, of Mount Hood division, was In the chalc.

Another chapter of the vaudeville war has been enacted, and this, time the Georgia magnet. Miss Annie Abbott, holds the center of the stage and stands in ttfie glare of the lime light. Annie Abbott contracted to play the present week at the Baker Theater In this city. Messrs. Keating and Flood, the managers, were disagreeably x sur prised to wake up one morning and find that Miss Abbott had thrown her con tract to the four winds. as it weie. and gone over to the enemy. To be explicit she had gone to Astoria, the city by the sea. where there Is a playhouse belonging to the Consldine circuit, and which goes by the name of the Unique Theater. As soon as Keating and Flood learned of the actress' act. the former took the train for Astoria, where he petitioned for an injunction re straining Annie Abbott from tripping about the Unique stage, and aiding. in pouring coins Into the Consldine coffers. Circuit Judge McBrlde was absent from the city and County Judge Trenchard. .after hearing what Mr. Keating had to say. granted a temporary Injunction re straining Annie Abbott from acting at the' Unique pending the hearing of the case. Mr. Keating returned to Portland to prepare Tor the legal battle, the Consl dine people are marshaling their forces and Miss Annie Abbott looks at the audlfnces of the Unique down In Astoria an weeps, perchance, because the cruel law steps In and keeps her from winning applause Mr. Keating alleges that the contract between Miss Abbott and the Baker was of the regular order, and that the actress, whose services are much desired by the atrical men. Ignored the contract and Jumped to Astoria from no cause what ever. The side or tne tjonsiaine peopie Tin not been heard. The law will now decide whether, an actress may toss her pretty head In the air and slap a contract In the face If the wnim so moves iter, or wnthr he must behave In a modest manner and do what her contract says she must do.

Susan B. Anthony and Other Prom inent Leaders of Cause Issue Official Announcement. The official call has been issued for the 37th annual convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, which is to be held in Portland at the First Congregational Church, from June 2S to July 5. The call Is signed by Susan B. Anthony, honorary president; Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, president: Carrie Chapman Catt. vice-president; Alice Stone Blackwell. recording secretary; Kate M. Gordon, corresponding secretary: Harriet Taylor Upton, treasurer, and Laura Clay and Cora Smith Eaton, auditors. The official call reads :ln part: v A cordial "invitation is extended to all who believe in the inalienable right of women to self-government and also to those sot yet In sympathy with the purposes of this aaictatlon. v A government of men and women not by women alone; not by metualone,. but a govern ment of men and women, by men and women,' for men and women this Is the aim and Ideal of our association. One hundred years ago Oregon was an un trodden wilderness. The transformation of that primeval territory Into prosperous com munlt!es. enjoying "the highest degree of clvlll ratlon. emild not have been accomplished with out the work of women. No restriction should be placed upon energies and abilities so potent for good. The extension of the right of suf frage would remove a handicap from the ef forts of. women and give them, an -oppor tunity to work for the welfare- of the State. We do not claim that women's voice In the government would at once sound the death knell to all social and political evils. But we do believe that a government representing the Interests and the beliefs Ttrvrb'men and men would prove Itself, and is proving Itself, where It now exists1, to be a better government than one which represents the Interests and beliefs of men atone. The - movement (or the enfranchisement of women Is based upon the unchanging and un changeable prlaclplea at human liberty. In accordance with which successive classes of men have won the right of self-government. On such u. foundation "ultimate victory In assuredand. In truth. Is conceded, even- by those who .oppose. The day lr ever drawing nearer when the nation will apply tp women the principles which are the very foundations of Its existence: when, on every election day. there will be reaffirmed the Immortal truths of our Declaration of American Independent-. Then will this Imleed be a Just govet7imenU "deriving Its powers from the consent of the governed." Arrested for Jlorse-Stcallnp. John Aldrlch and Roscoe Wilson have been arrested at Prlncville on charges of stealing horses and riding outfits from the ranch of L. O. Ralston, near Arling ton. Or. They will probably have their preliminary hearing in the near future at Arlington. The stolen animals and outfits were recovered.
