The relatives of the late Joseph A. Con- nor have won the first battle in the con- test over the $3650,000 estate left by Connor. County Judge Leslie handed down a decis- fon at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, refusing | to admit the copy of the will to probate and finding that Connor died intestate. Smyth & Smith, attorneys for the trus- tees, will file today an appeal to the dis- art | | | trict Judge Leslie's declsion in brief was that his opinion, Connor destroyed the will with the intention of revoking it and that jdence otherwise Is insufficient. After fewing briefly the law and the evidence the court concluded Taking Into consideration all these facts taking into his habits of lite and the reputation of these inferentially at least suspected of having destroyed the will, and further that the disposition of the estate by the terms of the will was a somewhat unnatural one in that so small a share of the estate was given to those who would naturally be the objects of the testaer's bounty, and that Mr. Connor had made many wills and had not shown a disposi- tion to adhere to any one sciieme for the distribution of his estate, I do not consider that the evidence is sufficient to overcome the presumption that the will was de- stroyed by Mr. Connor with the intention of revoking It. I do not think he intended to die intestate but conclude that he decided to change his will and that he destroyed it himself intending to revoke it and that he died unexpectedly before carrying out this Intention, T shall therefore refuse to admit the copy of the will to probate and find that he died intestate.’ Judge Leslle in & preceding passage de- clared that he did not think “Connor ever concelved any Intense dislike for the bishop, for the will was executed after whatever altercation he had, or imagined he had, had taken place.” n account Mrs. Elien O'Connor and nor of the relatives.

The . memorial services committee of teachers, held In the First Presbyterian church at 3 o'clock be- fore a rostrum which had been decorated with Easter lilies. The afternoon was dark | and only four small lights illuminated the buliding, and this with the music and short earnest addresses, made the service deeply impressive. Superintendent Those who went | arranged by a | were W. M. Davidson of the public schools presided and in a few words following the opening prayer by Rev. E. R. Curry of Calvary Baptist church, the super- intendent praised the life of Miss Mc Cheane as one typical of those of a genera tion who sow that another might reap. He sald the death of Miss McCheane seemed a personal loss to such a very large number of teachers and friends, that her influence in the community for twenty- five years was so great and always for the #00d, that the memorial services were most appropriately arranged Judge Howard Kennedy made the address of the afternoon, and told of being a pupil under Miss McCheane in 187 at Central school, which is now the Omaha High school. “T cannot now tell you how much of such studies as reading, writing and arith- metic 1 acquired under Miss McCheane,” sald Judge Kenned. “Education does not consist of pouring n a lot of facts, regardiess of how matically they are arranged, sists of a drawing out and a dev of the child himself. “This Miss McCheane's work, not to fill little heads soon to forgotten, but to lives for good citizenship. ‘T think the lesson from Miss McCheane's lite is that friendship pa. She was a friend of every school child, of her assocl- ates in the schools and of hundreds out- slde. 1f there is any one thing to be singled from her many virtues it was her friendship for mankind."” Miss Martha L. Powell read a briet tribute “'In Memoriam,” speaking as' one who lived and worked with Miss McCheane for a number of years. Miss Powell is the present principal of Long school, the school which Miss McCheane served for a quarter of a century. “Teachers often wonder with iiss McCheane, Is individual and syste- con- opment was of facts little plan with be train who associated how much of them how much of them fs Dr.Lyon’s PERFECT ' Tooth Powder Cleanses, beautifies and preserves the teeth and purifies the breath Used by people of refinement for almost ¢ Half a Century Miss McCheane,” said Miss Hulda Tsaacon, one of the teachers in Long school, who gave “Words of Appreclation from Long School.” “Patrons of Long school have told me that Miss McCheane made the school a home and reigned over it as a mother.” Miss Clara B.
