10 SUKDAY OREGONiAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 19, liH)5t WILL ST STAKE Reed Document Is to Be Re-Probated. COUNTY COURT SETS DATE Issue Based on Provision of California Law. VIEWS OF JUDGE BELLINGER Says Oregon Statute Will Protect Bequests to Charitable Institu tions From Encroachment of Outside Enactment. Mrs. Amanda W. Heed's will is to be. reprobated by the County Court March 28. On that date all interested in the will are to be cited to appear. The contest concerning the validity of tho instrument 'will be held on that day. and the question will be decided 3 to whether a California statute can flxtend into the State of Oregon when Oregon has a law covering the case. The heirs of the late Mrs. Reed have been attempting to break her will by which Bhe bequeathed a fortune of 51.383,813, mostly to charity, and par ticularly to an educational and indus trial establishment to be known as the Itoed Institute. She was a resident of Oregon for many years and a great portion of her estate was here, but of late years she had been living in Pasa dena, Cal., and died there. She had, however, always claimed Portlund as her home. Mrs. Reod having died in California, the heirs have attempted to have her will probated by a California court and dealt with by the California law. which permits only one-third of a testator's estate to go to charity. This would roako a great difference in tho distri bution of the estate, tho heirs would get a good deal more and the charitable institutions would lose In consequence. The will5 was probated" by the County Court of Multnomah County afld the oxeoulors duly qualified to perform their office, but the heirs have peti tioned to have the matter reprobated by tho court, all interested being cited to appear at the time. Heirs Plead California Statute. The contesting heirs have explained in their petition why they wish the will reprobated. They explain at length the California statute, which prevents a testator from bequeathing more than a third of the estate, saying the opera tion of that law affects not only the personal property of Mrs. Reed In Cali fornia but that In Oregon as well. They claim that the California law is In ef fect in Oregon as well as in California. Those interested In the charitable in stitutions affected by the will consider the petlti6n of the heirs to be of little avail, and do not doubt that the Cali fornia statute will be adjudged not to extend to Oregon. Judge Bellinger, one of the trustees of the Reed Institute, the funds for. which are provided for in the will, stated yesterday the line of defense which would be used against the contesting heirs. He said: . Views of Judge Bellinger. "The contestants make their objec tion on tho grounds that Mrs. Reed was domiciled in California and died there, where the law provides that only one-third of tho estate can be devised or bequeathed to charitable purposes. They cjalm that law affects the courts of Oregon. "Our defense Is that the law does not in any case .extend to Oregon, for there is a law here covering that point. It is that the personal property In Ore gon of a deceased person, wherever domiciled, will be disposed of accord ing to the will. "If there were no sucli law in this state, the California law might be ef fective, but it cannot extend to Oregon when such a law exists. If the will is oxecuted according to the laws of the state, it does not make any difference where the deceased was domiciled, and, furthermore, Mrs. Reed was merely domiciled in California temporarily and always claimed Oregon as her resi dence. "With the laws and racts as they are 1 do not see how the contestants can claim that the California law affects the case. "In a similar case in California the courts would tiot recognize the laws of another state. They cannot, therefore, in this case, or it would be like saying, 'Heads I win, tails you lose." "By the laws of California the per sonal properly, in California, of a per son who died in Oregon is under the laws of California. So' that if the con testants in this case are maintained the result would have this particular significance: "If a person domiciled in California dios leaving personal property in Ore gon It is subject to the California laws, and if a person domiciled In Oregon dies in California his personal property Is likewise subject to the California law." 1he contesting heirs are: "EmilJ Pickering. Sarah A. Robertson. Abagail Baxter Wood, John H. Wood, W. H. Faxon. Helen Faxon Passmore, Emma "Wood Bralnard, Harr A. Wood, Cor innc A. Wood, Stella H.Wood and llclon B.

Deltz In the State Circuit Court yesterday against H. L. Stephenson and the Scott Hotel Company. Deltz owns a one-fourth interest in the property and he asks tho court to compel Stephenson to sell him a second one-fourth interest in tho hotel business, as previously agreed upon: also that Stephenson bo required to withdraw from the hotel and restoro tbo management of the same to him. Dolts and Mrs. Deitz, according to the "terms -of an existing contract. v Deltz says in his complaint that he was forcibly relieved of possession by Steph enson on February 11. and that Stephen son broke Into the hotel safe and forc ibly took possession of all the property books and assets of the business. The complaint recites that Deltz on No vember 7. 1904, purchased 'a one-quarter Interest in the hotel from Stephenson for 34000. paying $1750 cash. He and his wife wore to manage" the hotel at a salary of 5125. Of this amount 360 was to be re tained by Deltz, and the other 565 was to be applied on the balance due on the purchase price, and also Deltz share of any profit which might be made. The agreement further provides that Deltz shall have the right to purchase an additional one-fourth interest in the com-., oanv at am time within 60 days for SilXX) payable 520O9 in cash and th balance in. or before, six months. If he desires to purchase after GO days and prior to slat months, the price is to be 51500. On January 7, 1903, Deltz alleges that 'Stephenson extended the option for the purchase of a second one-fourth interest for 20 days, in writing. On February 6 last Deltz says he elected to. purchase the additional one-fourth In terest, and Stephenson refused to sell and declined to accept $2000 tendered him as the first payment. Deitz avers that when he and his wife took charge of the hotel on November 7, 1904, the business was run down, and by their efforts they Improved it ,a great deal. The Scott Ho tel Company, which claims some Interest in the hotel business, is said to have been fully informed of the contract between Deltz and Stephenson, and Stephenson, on February S, 1904. is alleged to have caused an adjustment and settlement made be tween the stockholders of the Scott Hotel Company, whereby he obtained the full and absolute control of all the stock of the corporation. Deitz alleges that the hotel business is largo and profitable and will be particu larly so during the Iewis and Clark Fair and that he will suffer great loss If his rights are interfered with. GETS JUDGMENT FOR $5000. Court Awards Louis Montgomery Full Claim for Commission. In the suit of Lewis Montgomery against Marshall J. Kinney to recover $5000 bal ance due as commission for the sale of timber land near Westport, in 1902, the jury In Judge Sear's court yesterday re turned a verdict In favor of Montgomery for the full amount sued for. The lands, complsing about CTO0 acres, were sold for $192,600. Of this amount Kinney received, so he lestifled, $67,CO0, and one Parsons got $125,000. Montgomery testified that the to tal amount of the commission was $10,000, and that he was paid only $5000. KInnoy explained that he lost the option on the Parsons lands, and that Parsons, who was to pay Kinney $1000 for selling the lands, sold them himself. For this reason Kinney said "he did not receive the $5000 from Parsons, and Motgomery, when he got $3000 Instead of 510,000, was adequately paid. -In answer to this, Montgomery said his buyer. Bradley, or Bay City, Mich., bought all the lands and that all the money passed through Kinney's hands. Tho trial occupied three days. Fair to Clear Synagogue Debt. Extensive preparations are being made by the members of the Congregation Ahama Sholom for a fair, by which they expect to raise sufficient money to pay off the $6000 mortgage now outstanding against their new synagogue on the cor ner of Park and Clay streets.

FOUGHT WITH SECOND OREGON Regiment Assigned to Vancouver Bar racks Has Long and Brilliant Rec ord Covering Many Wars Stationed in Philippines. The orders of the War Department transferring the Fourteenth Infantry to Vancouver Barracks from tho Island of Samar, P. L, have aroused the interest of many of the officers and members of the Second Oregon Regiment, with whom they first Journeyed to Manila during tho Spanish war. The Fourteenth has-been stationed in the Philippines for some time, and it Is in the nature of relief from foreign duty that the transfer is being made. Ac cording to the orders, the regiment will laave the Island of Samar on the 15th of March, and should reach Vancouver Bar racks within 30 days thereafter. The Fourteenth Infantry was first or ganized in 1SJ2, and took an active part In the campaign along the Canadian bor der during that year. General Dix was a field officer of the regiment when it was mustered in, and served until the close of that war. The regiment was consolidated with other regiments, and lost Its Identity for a time, but was re organized at the time of the Mexican war, and fought under General Winflcld Scott in the battle preceding the capture of the City of Mexico, and mustered out at the close of. the war. During the year of 1861 the regiment was again called into being as a 10-cora-pany regiment. Its first Colonel was Charles Stone. During the War of tho Rebellion the regiment formed a part of the regular division of the Army of tho Potomac, and took a distinguished part in all of Its several battles. It did splen did service at Gaines Mills, Malvern Hill, Fredericjtsburg. the Wilderness and Petersburg, and according to tho records of "regimental losses during the war had the heaviest loss of any regular rogiment during the war. After the Civil War the regiment was again reorganized and sent to Arizona under Colonel Lovett. Later the com mand was sent to Wyoming, where it did valiant service against the Sioux, and finally at the battle of Rosebud the Four teenth saved the day in a fierce fight with the Indians under. Crazy Horse. Red Cloud and Sitting Bull. The regiment was next Btationed at Fort Douglas. Utah, under General John Smith, and in 1881 they came to Van couver Barracks. In 188C Colonel Thomas M. Anderson assumed command or the regimental post. The officers serving with tho regi ment at that time probably best remem bered by the residents of Portland were Lieutenant-Colonel DeRussy. Captains Totten, Balnbridge. Burke, Sladcn and G. W. Davis, now Genera Davis, command ing the Panama Canal right of way. Among the Lieutenants were Teatman, Murphy, Hasbrouck and Cabep. the two last named being the only officers re maining in the regiment who came with It from Utah. While serving at Vancouver Barracks the regiment was sent twice to the Coeur d'Alenes to suppress strikes and riots, and twice to Spokane and Tacoma. Its last dispatched service was in Alaska during the Klondike excitement, in tho Winter of 1S97-8. Tills organization should be well known to our people, as during its term of duty in this vicinity It was altogether re cruited from Oregon and Washington, and made a number of practice marches in both states. The Fourteenth Infantry, with the Second Oregon and the First Washing ton, made up the first expedition to the Philippines, and were the first American troops to cross an ocean for active serv ice. In the attack on Manila. August 13, 1898. the Fourteenth Infantry, under Cap tain John Murphy, now Lieutenant Colonel Murphy, retired, hnd a brisk fight with the Spaniards at the Singalon Church. It was at this point that the only serious opposition was met In the capture of Manila. When the Filipino insurgents attacked the American troops on February 5. 1899, the Fourteenth had the bardest fight of tho day In capturing Blockhouse 14 from General Morales brigade. In their dash ing charge they lost the brave Captain Mitchell and 24 men. Their next severe fighting was at the battle of the Zapoto Professor J. Wester. J. G. Turner. Bridge, where Captain Bogardus Eldridge was Tcllled. Colonel Wycoff. who served In this vicinity as a Major of the Four teenth Infantry, was killed In the battle of San Juan Hill, In Cuba. In July, 1S00. the Fourteenth Infantry formed a part of General Chaffee's com mand, which advanced from TIenstin to Pekln. For the consplcuqus part It took In this campaign the regiment received the highest commendations. It was a bugler boy of the Fourteenth who scaled the walls of the sacred city and opened the gates for our troops to march in. These seasoned warriors, largely men of Oregon and Washington, not only fought as well as usual, but after the capture of Pekln maintained the strict est discipline and showed such a kindly disposition towards the conquered popu lation that the Chinese officials were lav ish in their praise of the reslment. They are now returning from their sec ond tour or duty In the Philippines. Tho Colonel of the regiment is Colonel S, N. Jocelyn, once stationed at Port Town sent. Lieutenant-Colonel WItberspoon is a raembor of the War College. The senior Major is Charles McClure, once Judge-Advocate of the Department of MONTAVILLA 5-ACRE TRACTS At Montavilla Station on 0.

There arc, besides 15 First and 15 Second Lieu tenants, all new men, commissioned slnco the regiment left us. in May. 1S9S. Of the former officers of the regiment the following history is given: General Georgo W. Davis began his mil itary career as a regimental quartermas- ter of a volunteer Connecticut regiment. He was commissioned as a Captain In the Fourteenth Infantry In 1S67. He first came Into notice by straightening up tho Washington monument. That famous ob elisk, after It had been built up 130 feet, ,tilted over like the leaning tower of Pisa. A great number of engineers and archi tects had utterly failed to straighten it on its foundations. Davis undertook the task and succeeded perfectly. After that he was put on the Nicaragua Canal Com mission. He rose to the grades of Ma jor, Lieutenant-Colonel and Colonel In the Regular Army by regular promotion and was made a Brigadfer-Gcneral of Volunteers and a Brigadier and Major Gencral in the Regular Army by selection. After commanding a department In the Philippines he was placed on the retired list in 1903. and at once put upon the Panama Commission and is now in im mediate control of the canal territory. Colonel Fred E. Trotter, at the time of his death was acting as Inspector General of the Washington State Guard. Colonel Hugli A. Heaher, at one time the Lieutenant-Colonel of tho Fourteenth Infantry, was promoted Colonel of the Sixteenth Infantry and was stationed at Fort Sherman, In Idaho. He was present with his regiment at San Juan, but was soon after retired for Ill-health. General D. W. Burke, retired, now a res ident of Portland, was promoted from the ranks In the Civil War for marked effi ciency and rose through all the grades to his present position. He received special recognition for excellent service lt Porto Rico. Lieutenant-Colonel John Murphy was promoted from the ranks for an act of especial bravery at tho battle of Antlc tam. Captain H. C. Cabell was once an acting Inspector-General of the National Guard of Oregon. Captain Alfred Hasbrouch, Tit one time Adjutant of the Fourteenth, when the Spanish War broke out was Military In structor In a college In New York, but he gave up a very desirable position to go to the front. When the Civil War broke out. three young men who were members of the Papal Guards, Keho, Copplnger and O'Byrne, were commissioned in the Fourteenth Infantry. Keho wag killed In the Custer massacre, O'Byrne died as a field officer, and Copplnger is now a Brigadier-General on the retired list. General T. M.

There Is probably no style of tho Weber piano that appeals so much to the artistic taste as the one just selected by Mr. Miller Murdoch, of the prominent law firm of Murdoch & Moscr. The Instru ment In question Is the Colonial style. It is cased in a very rich mahogany and fin ished in plain panels and simple fluted pilasters, that give It a cla?ilc symmetry strongly suggestive of beauty, and dignity. It has that sympathy or tone which Is the characteristic of Weber pianos. Scarcely a week passes but one and fre quently, a number of prominent Portland homes are supplied with one of tho superb and costly Weber or Chlckcrlng pianos. La&t week. In addition to the piano pur chased by Mr. Murdoch, one of the very latest style Chlckcrlng upright pianos was purchased by the Sisters of St, Mary's Academy. The week Just previous a Weber was selected by Mr. and Mrs. V, G. Driver for tbeir home on the East Side. The week beforo Dr. A. A. Morrison se cured a lovely Weber Baby Grand, and Mr. and Mrs. Loomls a fine Chlckering upright. This again emphasizes the significant fact that the cultured people of this city are content with only the very best in the musical line, and have learned that the placn to secure them Is Eiier'3 Piano House, Park and Washington streets. Kimball pianos sold here also. TAX MONEY IS POURING IN Collections Are Much Heavier Than Those of Last Year.
