Members of the Engineers’ Associa- tion Oppose the Bill—Other District Matte ‘The subcommittee on ways and means of the District committee today took up House bill 5887, to require the use of stroke consumers on smokestacks connect- ed with mills, factories and large buildings. Mr. A. M. Lawson, J. J. Breen, W. J. Jacobs, S. 8. Teague, representing the or- ganization of Stationery Engineers of the city, appeared before the committee. ‘They asked that the provision of the bill which seems to nold responsible the engi- neers in charge of stationery engines for smoke nuisance should be stricken out. ‘They said the engineers have nothing to do with procuring smoke consumers, but un- der the bill they are held Hable with the owners of the property. They also claimed that the bill is class legislation in that it discriminates against mills, but does not apply to steamboats and railway locomotives. He said the thick, black smoke from steamboats blows over the city as far north as Maryland avenue, while the smoke from railway locomotives is a nutsance in the northeast, southeast, and southwest sections. The locomotiver burn soft coal as a rule, and the smoke goes into the second-story windows of the houses. They thought that the worst smoke nui- sance comes from the locomotives. The engineers were not aware that there would be economy in the use of smoke con- sumers on raiiway locomotives. They thought if such were the case the railways would use them. Plants in This City. ‘They said there were about 450 stationary engine plants in this city. The use o: smoke consumers might be economical to the owners of stationary engines in the long run, but would not save the cost o. construction in a short time. The engineers said their association dis- approved a portion of the bill, and, in fact, were inclined to oppose the bill as a whole. It would have a tendency to cause a change in motor powers in small plants and throw engineers out of work. The engineers said they were not aware of any demands for the bill on the part of the citizens. No one appeared before the committee ir favor of the bill. It is not considered like- ly that the bill will pass. Powers of Orphans Court, Mr. Curtis has introduced in the House the bill offered in the Senate by Senator Faulkner providing that all the powers and jurisdiction by law held and exercised by the Orphans’ Court of Washington county, District of Columbia, prior to the twenty- first day of June, 1870, shall hereafter be held and exercised by the justice holding the special term of the Supreme Court for Orphans’ Court business, subject, always, to the provisions of the act creating the Court of Appeals. For a Soldiers’ Monument. Mr. Alexander has introduced a resolution in the House providing that the Nationa! Reunion Monument Association, en organi- zation chartered and incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia for the purpose of erecting a monument in the city of Washington to the Union soldiers, sailors and marines of the war of the rebellion, be authorized to erect the monument on such government reservation in Washington as may be designated by the Secretary of War, the design of the memorial to receive his approval, RELATING TO *WILLS Senate Committee's Report ‘onAmend- atory Legislation. a | NECESSITY OF ACTIONPOINTED OUT 6. dee 2? aoe Bill to Give Full Authority to Dis- trict Supreme'Court. JUDGE HAGNER’S VIEWS FES The Senate committee on the District of Cclumbia has reported favorably a bill con- furring on the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict jurisdiction to take :proof of the ex- ecution of wills affecting real estate. This bill was introduced at the last seasion of Congress by Senator Faujkner, and in its report, recommending the passage of the bill, the committee has adopted a letter from Judge Hagner, calling- attention to the great importance of legislative-actlon Which will give to the Stipreme Court cf the District a jurisdiction that for many ycars it was assumed was possessed by the Orphans’ Court. : In speaking of the matter today with a Star reporter, the register. of wills, Mr. J. Nota McGill, remarked that the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Campbell against Porter, se! tled finally the fact that the Orphans’ Ccurt is without jurisdiction to admit to probate and record a will devising real estate alone, and where personal estate is aiso bequeathed the probate is only opera- tive as to the latter, The result is, as demonstrated by a recent decision of the Court of Appeals, that a will, even after being sustained by a jury on the trial of issues attacking its validity and then ad- mitted to probate and record in the Or- phans’ Court, may be again contested in any action involving real property on the same points previously decided by the jury in favor of the will. Since the decision in the case of Camp- bell against Porter some members of the bar have sought to establish a will devising real estate by instituting special proceed- ings in equity. This is not only*expensive, but imposes a hardship on all concerned. The present measure will confer on the Supreme Court of the District the same au- thority and jurisdiction over a will devising real property that it now has, under the act of Maryland of 1798, over wills and tes- ti nts of personal estate. “The bill also includes authority for the court to take proof of the execution of will affecting real estate heretofore filed and admitted to probate only as to personal ty. PiWhile the present m2asure would be more satisfactory to many if it included certain limitations, says Mr. McGill, yet it provides for such a decided step in the right direc- tion that additional legislation may be left to the future. Letter of Justice Hagner. In reporting th2 matter favorably Sena- ter Faulkner called attention to the fact that a full discussion of the bil is found in the letter of Judge Hagner, as follows: “This bill is of great ¢mportance. Its purpose is to give to the Bupreme Court of the District of Columbia ayjuriadiction that for many y2ars it was assumed was pos- sessed by the Orphans’ Coyrt.., “It has recently been segtled, jn Campbell against Porter that this court, when hold- ing a special term for the transaction of orphans’ court matters, is wtthout juris- diction to admit to probate amd record a will devising r2al estate alone, and where personal estate is also bequeatlied the pro- bate {s only operative as'to personal prop- erty. The result is that 4n every contro- versy In any. court of equity,or law in- volving tha disposition of ,reaj, estate, de- vised by will, the testamentary instrument Taust be established in such court by the testimony of the attesting witnesses, not- withstanding the Orphans" Court, a branch of ta2 same court, may have already taken the testimony of all the subscribing wit- nesses, and admitted the paper to probate and record as a will of personalty. “Our law in this particular is today sub- stantially the same as {t existed in Eng- land over one hundred and fifty years ago. In 1742 Lord Chanc2llor Hardwicke took occasion to denounce this divided and in- dependent jurisdiction as a yery great ab- surdity and expressed the wish that ‘gentle- men of ubility would take this inconven- fence and absurdity into thzir consideration and find out a proper remedy by the assist- ance of legislation,” - “Lora Chancellor Baron Yelverton, refer- ring to this situation, said in 1785: ‘I be- eve no two cases can be supposed to be more intimately connected with each other, both in unity of time and of assurance, than a will of real and personal estate written upon one and the same pieces of paper or parchment and subscribed by one and the same signature. And yet it is clear law that, though the probate of such a will is conclusive evidence of the sanity of the testator to make such a will, yet it is by no means conclusive evidence of his capaci- ty to dispose of his real estate. And why? Evidently because the capacity of a party to do the two acts is triable by different jurisdictions. * * * “From all of which I am warranted to lay it down as a general position that the capacity of a party to do one act is not conclusive’ of his capacity to do another, if his capacity as to that other be triable by a different jurisdiction, whether the two acts make one and the same assurance or are done at one and the same time or not.’ “The result of the unsatisfactory condi- tion of the law on this subject is that not- withstanding the fact that a will presented for probate as to personalty, and sustained by a jury on the trial of issues attacking its validity, h&s afterward been admitted to probate by the orphans’ court, may yet be contested de novo in an action involving real property on the same points previously decided by a jury rendering a verdict in favor of the will. “It is eseential that some remedy should be provided at once, since the act of July 8, 1888 (which it was thought by some gave greater efficacy to recorded wills), has been declared by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case above referred to to be ineffective to enlarge the jurisdiction of this court when holding special term for the transaction of probate matters in the particular referred to. “The effect of the decision in Campbell against Potter”has caused no little annoy- ance to property holders, and in many in- stances special proceedings have already been instituted in equity to establish wills devising real property. This proceeding is expensive and imposes an unnecessary hardship on the parties in interest.’”” Provisions of the Bill. : ‘The bill provides that the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, when holding @ term for Orphans’ Court, business, shall have full authority and jurisdiction to take prcof of the execution of,@ll Jost wills and testaments affecting real estate, and to ad- mit such iStruments to ‘probate and rec- ord, as fully as said courtiis ‘how empow- ered to tak? proof of the execution of last wills and testaments of, personal estate, and to admit the same to, probate and rec- ord; and that the record, @f aay such last will and testament of real estate, after ths Same has been admitted ‘to probate and record, as aforesaid, or a copy.of any such last will and testament of real-estate, duly attest2d by the register gf wills, under the seal of said court, shall be priga facie evi- dence of the contents, due execution and probate of such last will dnd testament of real estate: Provided, That this act shall not apply in any caus> new pending in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. The second segtion provides ‘That the said Supreme Court of the District of C lumbia, when holding a term for Orphans’ Court business, upon the petition of any person interestsd under any will hereto- fore filed in said court, may, after such pro- ceedings as are now required by law with reference to the prohate of wills of per- scnalty, take proof of th> execution of all such last wills and testaments affecting real estate, and shall have jurisdiction and authority to admit such instruments to pro- bate and record as wills of real estate, as fully and to the same extent and with like 2ffect as Is provided in section one of this act.” —_—_+—__— Divorce Granted.
