Next Sunday even- ing the concluding lecture of the series will be given by President David Starr Jordan of Stanford University. Professor Syle, In his lecture to-night, urged it as the duty of every patriotic Americagn citizen to study the history of the Roman r:‘vubllc and to learn how to avoid in America the defects which caused the downfall of Rome, particularly the evils in the distribution of wealth. The profressor declared that the three causes of the downfall of the Roman empire—the vast accumulation of wealth the rapid advancement to citizenship of !oreli"nem possessing neither the feelings nor the traditions of their adopted coun- try and the accumulation in the citles of a ‘vaet proletariat, idle and consequent!: vicious—all of these causes are at worl undermining the American republic to- day.

The complaint says “sald King, well knowing that Elizabeth Smith, widow of sald John W. Smith, deceased, Is and was an helir at law, willfully omitted any men- tion of said widow In any of the papers filed by him in the matter of said estate. “That said King, well knowing that cer- tain attempted transfers of property by J.
