Deforest, an assayer of natlonal reputation, a mechanical and mining engineer, a chemist, a student and the heir to a large fortune. His father, who was a New York business man, had always been liberal regarding money matters with his only son. The father died and the young man's mother reduced him to an allowance when she died two years ago, placing her son's share of A $300,000 estate In trust. The will pro- vided that he was to receive only the in- terest for two years. At the end of that perlod the entire fortune was to be at his disposal Helr o a fortune though he was, his last extremity found him almost penniless. Had he lived only thirty days more he would have been a rich man and his widow would have without question or controversy. As mat- ters now stand, there are great possibilities of litigation over the fortune. There is a provision in the will that in case of his death before the payment of the trust, the fortune should revert to Deforest's two Colbran, both of New York.

MANILA, Oct. 6.—Considerable fnterest attaches to the case of Oakley Brooks, a military prisoner to be deported. The au- preme court recently issued a writ of haheas corpus, directing the production of the prisoner, but the military authorities refused to deliver him on the ground that the only tribunal having jurisdiction over a milltery prisoner was the supreme court While the Philippine courts were estab- lished by the war powers of the president, the military authorities contend that they are to be regaried as provost courts until congress has acted The members of the supreme court anhd A majority of the members of the Phil- fppine commission hold opposite views, but it 1s understood that the attorney gen- eral believes the military contention to be correct. General Chaffee, discussing the matter today, sald: “I am most desirous to eue- tain the civil courts In every possible way but I feel that it would be very unwise in the existing circumstances to allow the clivil courts to interfere in military affatrs, as It Is occasionally necessary for the mili- tary authorities to Interfere in cases whoro It would be unwise In the interost of the government to make public the reasons for acting. Should the clalm now made by the civil courts be allowed, it would be disastrous to the influence of the army In the island. Every prisoner sentenced by a military commission would have recourse to habeas corpus proceedings. Even How- ard (the alleged deserter) is awaiting the decision In this case in order to try to secure his own release by a writ of habeas corpus.” PRAISES DEED OF C20LGOSZ | R. E. Keity, New York Anarchist in London, Attacks WMek Politienl Career, nley's LONDON, Oct. 6.—=A falrly well attended meeting of anarchists was hejd yesterday in n hall in Tottenham Court Road to hear @ lecture on the assasaination of President McKiuley by R. E. Kelly of New York. The, audience, largely composed of forelgn- ers, applauded all references to “Saint’ Cz0lgosz and his meritorious act. The | #peakers included Emile Mastile, the Itallan anarchist, who described the as | sassination a3 “A deed of herofsm.” Kelly's lecturo was a wild harangue in denuncia tion of Mr. McKinley's political career. Heo declared that they did not try to justify the assassination, but rather to explain it as the oufcome of the oppression of work men by capltal f the killlng of McKinley opens the s of the capitalists and Induces them to treat the working people hetter,” cried the agitator, “then great good will have heen done.”" The Standard, protesting editorlally against the holding of the meeting, says “We publish a report for the purpose of drawing attention to the criminal methods that are practiced In our very midst. It may be allowed that the form of Kelly's address was not especlally violent, yst ho went quite far enough to call for the notice of those whose duty it Is to stop apologles for murder, Wo do not want any Kellys among us, engaged in familiarizing English men with such mischief.
