Name Change for Heiress Spreckels Heir to Plain John Smith

Jeb Spreckels, once heir to two million dollars from sugar magnate Adolph Spreckels, has become John D. Smith a cabinet salesman after a Superior Court name change. He says the Spreckels name hindered job prospects, being mistaken for a financier or playboy.

Fourth Wife Divorce Tied to Betting Spree and Name Change

In a divorce case, Spreckels disclosed a three month betting spree costing about $100. His fourth wife waived alimony for a $100 monthly infant son support. Since then he worked as a salesman for his brother Adolph at a cabinet shop. He reported back taxes and $25 monthly payments, with Judge Lloyd Shorett noting the proceedings focus on divorce actions. A reporter found a different surname when calling the furniture firm, where the phone answered as John Spreckels. An American Dental Assn. report says only 40 percent of Americans receive adequate regular dental care.
