It might also surprise the executors of this estate to hear that perhaps we have other wills in our pos- session, but we do not propose to use them.

We have a distinet recollection of the manner in Which an ejectment sult against Mrs. Fair, my client, was turned into an equi- table case by Judge Slack and an advisory jury impaneled to hear the issues. We also recollect that we had eight of that jury against four, and we also recollect that Judge Slack repudiated the judgment of the majority of that body and decided with the minority.

We do not ask the judgment of any Ames or other humbugs, nor advisory juries. We have | the facts and the law upon which to stand in this matter.” Mr. Foote then dwelt at length upon the law under which he based his argu- ment that Mrs. Craven has a right to intervene in the contest instituted by Charles L. Fair. He said that although he recognized the law that it was neces- sary that a contest to a will should be filed within one year after the document had been admitfed to probate, the fact that Mrs. Craven did not file a contest Within that time was not to bar her from intervening in the present contest, as it was filed within the year and ha been kept aliv spoke bitterly legatees of the deceased millionaire's es- tate, whom he said willi i by accepted the genuinene: brated pencil will, b cision was rendered invalidating the trust | clause of the trust will they came in one | by one and supported it, only at the pr ent time reserving their energies to again assail its provisions in event the Suprem Court holds the trust clause to be valid. We simply ask for an opportunity to | fight for justice on the proofs we will produce,” said Mr. Foote, and then gave way to Attorney Mitchell, who represent- ed the executors. Mitchell immediately made an attack on the action of Mr | Craven in now attempting to intervene in a pending contest when she had an op- | portunity to file a contest herself within | the time allowed by law. |, “You know why she dian‘’t file a con- test,” Interrupted Foote. “It was because she was in the hands of you lawyers and was betrayed.” Mitchell took exception to_ the remark, {and it looked like {mpending trouble, | when Foote said that he did not directly | charge Mitchell with the betrayal, but | sald that other lawyers well known were responsible for the present condition of affairs. Mitchell then continued, dwelling on the sections of the code relative to the | right of intervention, and_was followed by Garret McEnerney. This attorne: id that in his opinion Mrs, Craven was foreing a matter in her attempt to inter- | vene that would result in her ultimate un- doing. _“If this court finds that Mrs. Craven has the right to intervene in this case,” said Mr. McEnerney, “then.the | contest instituted by Charles L. Fair must itself fall. The law provides that when of th legatees and devisees must be served with legal process notifying them of the fact of the filing of the contest. Mrs. Craven was not served with process when the ntest was instituted, and Charl Fair must have known that Mrs. Cra claimed to be the widow of hi father. Hence he violated the law if s is such widow, and his contest must fs Mr. McEnerney then went further int the law of intervention and was briefly | answered by Judge Denson for Mrs (6 én.

Heggerty will follow and Mrs. Craven's will close. The case will then be submitted for decision.

A The Appointment of the New Lieu- tenant Is Continued for Two Weeks—The Scheme Likely to Fail. Shagt The failure of the Police Commissioners to appoint a successor to ex-Lieutenant Price, who was disrated some time ago by the Police Commissioners, is a source of considerable speculation to the mem- bers of the department. There are sev- eral deserving sergeants of police who aspire to be Price’s successor, but for some reason the Commissioners have thus far been unable to agree on a man for the position. From a reliable source it is learned that Joe Dunne, ex-Deputy District Attorney and present secretary of the Beard of Health, for the place Dunne is on very friendly terms with the head of the department, being his legal adviser and almost constant companion When the new charter being formed Lees endeavored to have a clause insert- BOUNONONY DL ORORIR/OROL, 280 %O RO DR, 5 % [=3 B 1SS FRANC STRANG, a young California singer, will make her initial apnearance in comic opera in this city on Monday evening at the Grand Opera-house.

Since Price was reduced to sergeant Lees, it is claimed, has vigorously en- deavored to induce the Police Commis- sioners to name Dunne as his successor. He argued that there were two men in the department who were drawing salary and who were not expected to do police duty—Dr. Keeney, the examining phys cian of the department, and Veterinary Surgeon Westphal, who attends to the sick horses belonging to the police. Both Commissioners Alvord and Tobin are evidently not disposed to award. the plum to Mr. Dunne. They seem to think that merit should be rewarded and that a sergeant of police should be named as Price’s SUCCESSOT. e i Sate a mumber of candidates for the office are Sergeants Shea, Martin, McManu nd Helms. They all have powerful back- {ng, but realizing that the head of the de- partment is anxious to hm-n’,_\(t'm-nn,_ Plnne appointed successor to Price, they have about given up in disgust. Judge torne Tobin, president of the Police Board, will | 8| ¢ leave the city, to be gone two Y &a his return it is expected that the appointment will be made. Chief Lees last night dented that he was championing the cause of Dunne. “The fame. was not mentioned by me in con- nection with filling the vacancy he re- marked, with considerable vehemence. Dunne is my friend, but as far as trying to fnduce the other Commissioners to ap- oint him a lleutenant of police is ali rot. Hfe has a Iucrative legal business and that he should want to forsake it to wear the star of a lieutenant of police seems absurd, to say the least. the Commissioners cannot agree on a man to take Price’s place, but it is no fault of mine, However, when Judge Tobin Feturns from his vacation I guess we will be able to select a successor to Price.” Notwithstanding Lees' denlal. it is au- thoritatively said that he is determined to have Dunne appointed lieutenant, Whose duties shall be confined to enlight. ening him on legal matters. — e In the Divorce Court.

There s an old law on the statute books, which has become obsolete, which makes it a misdemeanor to maintain pri- vate rooms with closed doors in a saloon. Evidently determined to suppress the back-room trade of saloon-keepers, Chief Lees has resurrected the old ordinanc: ind he says he intends to rigorously en- force it. Last evening he sent copies of the law to the several captains of the police, with instructions to enforce it. As 1 result every member of the department informed of his determination and | were collectively ordered to carry out the nstructions.

A similar attempt | was made some years ago to suppress back rooms in connection with saloons, but it signally failed. As soon as an ar- rest of a saloon-keeper for violating the ordinance is made we intend to make a | test case of it, and expect a verdict in | our favor. The law is a dead letter, and | is unconstitutional, as will be shown at the proper time. Notwlithstanding that the saloon-keep ers regard the action of the Chief of Police as a joke, many of them. rather than suffer being arrested, at once pro- ceeded to comply with the law.
