SENSATIONAL SUIT FILED HEIRS OF AMBROSE SPENCER ARE AFTER THE ESTATE Serious Allegations Against the Widow, to Whom Everything Was Deeded Before Spencer's Death — Sensational Sfory Brought Out In ■ Contest lor s Child The papers in a sensational suit were filed with the county clerk yesterday. The title of the case Is Isabel Spencer vs. Anna P. Spencer, and property to the amount of over $100,000 is involved. The defendant is the widow of the late Ambrose H. Spencer, who died intestate on June 9, 1895. In the complaint it is set forth that the defendant was the second wife of Ambrose Spencer, and that he left surviving him two children by a former wife, Eva J. Spencer and James G. Spencer. The complaint then alleges that at and prior to the marlage of said Spencer with the defendant, the defendant conceived a plan to deprive him of all his money and property and to secure possession thereof unjustly and fraudulently for her own use and benefit. The defendant is described as "at all times prior to and during the said marriage a woman of great strength of mind and force of character, and of great energy and determination, and youthful, robust and passionate," while Spencer Is alleged to have been "a man of timid and yielding disposi tion, old and unfitted for business, and not of sufficient strength of character or firmness of mind to withstand the arts, demands and Importunities of the defendant." it is further alleged that in pursuance of her plan to get possess ion of the property of Spencer, the de fendant induced him to use morphine until he habitually became addicted to the said drug, as a result of which he became unable to exercise his own w ill or volition, and became completely sub ject to the defendant's control. It is further alleged that while in this con dition the defendant, for the purpose of depriving Spencer of his property and to prevent him from making any dis position of it after his death, compelled the said Spencer to deliver to her all his personal property and convey to her all his real estate. The real property so conveyed is then set forth in detail, and judgment js asked against the defendant for an ac counting, that it be adjudged that the property is only held in trust, that all the gifts and conveyances be decreed null and void, that the said real estate be transferred to this plaintiff, and that the defendant be enjoined from convey ing any of the property during the pen dency of this action. The plaintiff in the ease Is the sister of the deceased, to whom the children Conveyed their interests. This complaint will revive interest in a case which caused much talk at the time. Spencer was found dead in his room one morning with the gas turned on. His wife was absent from home at the time, having spent the night with some friends on Adams street. It was a Question as to whether it was a case of accidental death or suicide, and there was some sub rosa talk about foul play. Spencer and ills Wife occupied different apartments in the house, although their public relations were friendly. Noth ing ever came of the lalk. and the mat ter dropped out of sight, noth' g having been heard of it for some months until Ihe filing of the complaint. The case promises to be hotly contested. Both Want the Child A contest for the custody of a rather attractive 15-year-old girl, before Judge Clark yesterday, developed a rather sensational story. The girl in question is Annie I-teger, and her mother, Mrs. Katie ('usack, is trying to get posses sion of her on habeas corpus proceed ings. The child is now and has been ever since she was 11 months old. in the custody of George A. Hendric ks ami wife, who have become very much at tached to her, and wish to keep her.The child also wishes to stay with the Hen dricks, of whom she Is apparently very fond, and addresses them as uncle and aunt, while she calls her mother Katie. Hendricks was formerly a well-to-do business man in Dakota and Washing ton, but has since failed in business and came to I.os Angeles as an agent for a cigar house. The child's mother was in Hendricks' employ while he was keeping a hotel at Fargo, S. D.. and re mained with him both at that place and in Seattle and Tacoma for nine years. When Hendricks and his wife came to I.os Angeles tho girl ran away from her mother and came here with Mrs. Hendricks, joining that lady at San Francisco. Mrs. ('usack married her present husband while she w as in Hen- Orlcks' employ, ('usack also being em ployed by him as a cook, but was dis charged afterward. The girl told her story, and was followed by her mother, who sprung a sensational statement on the witness stand to the effect that Hen dricks, while she w as in his employ, had been criminally intimate with his step daughter, and that she had detected them in the act, for which reason she did not think him a proper person to have the custody of her child. She ad mitted, however, that she had con tinued to live in the family for years afterward and had never referred to the matter until the present time. Moth Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks contradicted this testimony. Mr. Hendricks denouncing it as a tissue of falsehood out of whole cloth, while Mrs. Hendricks showed that the story as told could not possi bly be true. Both testified that Mrs. ('usack had never been a mother to the child, and that the child never regarded her as such, calling her Katie. At the conclusion of the testimony the matter was continued for argument. For Probate of Will Henry W. Stoll yesterday filed his pe tition for the probate of the will of Emelle Hausewlrth, deceased. The estate consists of real and personal property valued at about $2,100. .1. M. Schneider of San Francisco also filed his petition for the probate of the will of C. YV. R. Ford, deceased. The entire estate is valued at about $50,000, the principal item of which is the stock of goods and decedent's interest In the firm of (\ W. R, Ford & Co., doing busi ness at 522 Market street, San Francis co, and valued at $48,500. The greater part of the estate of the decedent, both real and personal, is common property, the same ha ving been acquired by him after his marriage with Julia S. Ford. By the terms of the will each of the employes of the firm receives $100. Mrs. Julia S. Ford, his wife, receives $12,000. The balance of the estate is to be equally divided between decedent's brother and sister. Jay E. Hunter, Esq., appears as attorney for the executor. Mr. Ford's death will in no way af fect the business of the Boston store, as that business belonged to his wife and was Inherited by her from her former husband, J. AY. Robinson. Air. Ford was for several years past president and manager of the Boston Siioe company, a corporation. Mr. Ja cob Schneider w ill probably be made president of the Boston store. In fact, he is now In charge of Its affairs, and has been ever since the accident to Mr. Ford several weeks ago. On the Warpath Rev.l.T. Johnson, the Methodist min ister who was recently compelled to leave Fresno lather unceremoniously on account of indiscreet and uncalled for remarks, reflecting on the chastity ..I children of that city, Is evidently on the warpath. In addition to libel suits liled against the Fresno papers, John son yesterday filed a suit In the United States circuit court against A. R. Brigs*, H. Sherwood, Louis Einstein, W. M. Wyatt and O. J. Woodward, prominent citizens of Fresno, for $25, --000 damages. The Rev, Johnson alleges that the defendants, by force of person al violence, forced him to enter the of fice of the First National bank of Fresno, where he was detained and de prived of his liberty for a period of more than two hours. Johnson claims to be a citizen of Massachusetts, hence the suit is brought in tho federal court. Committed to Highlands Aaron Abbott, a confirmed drunkard and opium fiend, was yesterday exam ined by a commission consisting of Drs. Lindley and Wills, before Judge Mc-Kinley, and on being adjudged Irre sponsible was ordered committed to the insane asylum at Highlands for care and treatment.

After ■ Dilatory rjuardlan In the matter of the guardianship of Frank and Achllle Gasßagne, minors, Judge Clark yeterday made an order instructing the guardian, James Larg nier, to at once deposit all moneys in bank and to make up the deficit in thirty days.

HAVE CALLED THE BLUFF THE BOARD OP FIRE COMMISSIONERS TO THE CITY COUNCIL Fire Alarm Boxes Recently Ordered Will Be Placed II They are Paid For-lnvltatlon lor the City to Participate in Another Southern Exposition The following, forwarded by City Clerk Luckenbach, was read yester day before the board ot fire commis ssioners: At a meeting of the council held March 30, the following motion present ed by the councilman from the Fifth ward was referred to your board: That the fire commissioners be requested to locate fire alarm boxes at Main street, Grand avenue and Flgueroa street to the city limits, every SOO feet, and at the intersections of Washington and Es trella, Bush and Oak streets. Twenty third and Hope street, Twenty-eighth and Hoover and Key West streets, Third and Jefferson and Key West streets and Jefferson and Hope streets. In connection with the above the clerk was Instructed to forward to the city council the following: Acting on numerous requests for Are alarm boxes referred to the board of fire commissioners by your honorable body, we have to state that there is not at the present time a single box in the department not in use, and In or der to comply with tho resolution re ferred to, we hereby submit requisitions for twelve new boxes, with the request that you approve the same. The above is Intended to determine whether the council Is serious in its reference to the commission of demands for innumer able fire alarm boxes. The chief reported that all fire hy drants In district 15 have been recently tested by the drivers of the apparatus therein. City Attorney Dunn filed a communi cation advising the board that If a cer tain permit for the location of a black smith shop in the block bounded by Eighth, Ninth, San Julian and San Ped ro, was obtained through fraud, it could be officially recalled.

ANOTHER SOUTHERN EXPOSITION The mayor has received an Invitation for Los Angeles to participate in the Tennessee centennial exposition, which will be opened in the city of Nashville, state of Tennessee, U. S. A., on May 1. 1597, to be continued for a period of six months. The occasion for holding) this exposition is to celebrate the 100 th an niversary of the admission of the state into the federal union. It is announced tb -f this being the first event of the " cents pt ot mal .] tcf i interest, not le of tho United States, ►ok a. n- -,c of all countries. ( Nashville is situated very i .• n i' iraphical center of the 1 ' s. The same is true as to [or irer of population! hence the holi-aaaa) Be, an exposition at this par ticulai r i>oint makes attendance at the least expense posible to the entire popu lation of the country. It is the desire of the management to make this an occasion through which closer commercial relations may be cul tivated not only between the people of the United States, but as well those of other countries; and the management is pleased to assure you that every pos sible arrangement will be made looking to that end. In the matter nf exhibits from foreign countries, arrangements will be made to enter the same free of duty, and no charge will be made for space in the ex position buildings. The rapid and substantial develop ment of the resources, both industrial and agricultural, of that section of the United States known as "the south," warantl the assumption that this pro posed exposition will be of great profit to those making exhibits along com mercial lines. STREET WORK COMPLETED The street superintendent has issued the assesment for the improvement of Sixteenth street, between Bush and Union, It amounts to $1571.80. The as sessment for the sewer on Savoy street made on the 18th of March will have to be recalled and readjusted.

It is in the New Maey-street school build ing, which Is located twelve feet over the boundary line of the school proper ty. This same mistake at Boyd street cos- $6000 for fifteen feet. The Maey Street building cannot be moved and the lot must therefore lie bought. The city engineer's office is blamed for the New Macy street error. HERALD AI.ONIO RELIABLE The Republican morning paper cre ated a breeze In the sacred precincts nf the city hall yesterday by a series of Interviews which were repudiated al most as soon as the sheet made its ap pearance. The Express last evening says: offi cials over at the city hall are al' torn up over tine interviews on the harbor question which appeared in lids morn ing's Time.,. Some of them claim they were grossly misquoted—words being put into their mouths they say were never uttered by them, "One ol these is Kd Smith, the assist ant chief ot the lire department. I was net interviewed by any representa tive of the Times, and what the Times has this morning in reference to me is a fake, pure and simple. Why should ! bold up tlie mayor to criticism? Hasn't be always been my friend. They can print all the stuff they choose about me, but that doesn't make me a 'Sail padl'O or nothing' man. I am for Santa .Monica. San Pedro or anything else, so long as we get the $3,000,000.' " ' Building Superintendent Strange said; This harbor business is out of DOT Blotches, blackheads, bsby blemishes, and falling hair. Tho only preventive Is CUTICURA SOAP because the only preventive of inflamma tion and clogging of tho Fores. flala frwtfjr than the combiner! ■■>.«• of til other skin and eotnolfiion m#bb.

It seems to me that it doesn't make much difference where the har bor goes. The best interests of the people is all that concerns me. If the government expends $300,000,000 with in twenty miles of Los Angeles our people will be employed and the city will reap the benefit. So long as all the competing railroads have the same ad vantages so far as the right of way Is concerned, It would make but litle dif ference where the harbor is located.' " The cause for the above was the fol lowing from the Times: " 'This thing will hurt the whole ad ministration, and Mayor Rader most of all," said Kd Smith, the big asistant fire chief. "He may disclaim any respon sibility for the affair, but the fact that his clerk put the business through will tend to make folks a bit incredulous.' " " 'All honor to Councilman Snyder, who alone resisted the attempt to run this infamous resolution through,' said Superintendent of Schools Foshay. 'To he singular in that respect is to be in deed marked with peculiar honor.' " "Charles Strange, the building super intendent, who weighs 195 pounds, and has a backbone to corespond, discussed ill strong terms the weakness displayed by the councilman in allowing an out sider to 'work' them in the interests of a railroad corporation. 'The most of these fellows.' said the building super intendent, 'are so anxious to straddle every question that comes up, and so fearful of occasionally Retting up and taking a decided stand on a ticklish proposition, that the resolution busi ness caught them unawares, and from sheer force of habit they let it passwith out saying a -word. A little backbone in the council would seem to be what's wanted now.' " The moral of this story is that The Herald Is the only really reliable paper in the city. CITY HALL FLOTSAM Active work upon the school census will begin next Wednesday, when the deputy marshals will go into the field for enumeration. The board of park commissioners meet this morning. Superintendent Garey of the park de partment has commenced work on an improvement on the north side of tVestlake park in the quarter originally designed by Engineer Le Grande for a rockery with fountains. He will ar range a waterfall in tlds spot and sur round it with beautiful foliage.

Another False Alarm At ] :55 oclock yesterday afternoon an alarm was turned into the sheriff's office on the electric circuit connect ing that ofllce with the county treas urer's. Several deputies responded, but found thai, as on several previous occasions, some joker had touched the button. Tin- sheriff thinks that turning In the alarm for the purpose of seeing bow quick he and his deputies can climb stairs is getting to be something of a chestnut. The joker could not be found. Gladness Comes \X7ith a better understanding of the » » transient nature of the many phys ical ills which vanish before proper ef forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness r.re not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated 'tradi tion of the system, which tho pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to t lie fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep utable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system "is regular, then laxa tives or oilier remedies arc not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should ha ye the best .and with the well-informed everywhere. Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most, largely used and gives most general satisfaction. DR.
