It wilt be recalled that the suit was brought to decide the ownership of a farm in Ransom township, which was bequeathed to Mrs. Ydung by her mother, who In turn had received it from her sister. The chief point at issue was the validity of the will of John Stout. The plaintiffs alleged that the will was Invalid, on the ground that the decedent Was not of age when made the will. The defendant refuted the charge and produced a family Bible With a birth entry showing that John Stout was of age when he made the will. It was alleged by the plain- , tiffs that the birth entry had been traced over and the year of birth changed. Handwriting experts testified and, as usual, disagreed, but the j jury came to the conclusion that no 1 change had been made In the birth entry. Attorney W. I. Hibbs, of this city, and Attorney A. A.

New York, Jan. 27.—Seven minutes after they had left the courtroom the Jury in the Norman Hapgood criminal libel case returned with a verdict of not guilty. So ended the charge preferred by Judge Deuel, interested in Town Topics, against the editor of Collier's Weekly. Washington, Jau. 27.—That he draws |12,000 annually from the Clover Leaf route is an admission made by Theo* (lore P. Shouts, chairman of the Isthmian canal commission, which may have an important bearing on the canal investigation. Mr. Shonts was called by the senate interoceaulc canal committee to make a general statement of all matters over which he exercises control. He was asked to tell bis former empjoympnt. He said that be had been president of the Clover Leaf route. It was brought out that he still receives $12,000 a year and continues to hold the title of president. He says he does uot give uny time to the management of the road, but that reports are sent to him, and frequently officials of the road come to Washington to consult 1dm.

An American constructor in a field made up almost entirely of foreign competitors triumphed as the builder of the fastest automobile for sprint distances ever put together. Incidentally an American driver until this week practically unknown outdistanced the most skilled drivers of France, Italy and Great Britain.

President Mitchell stated the object of the meeting and Delegate Mo- Cluskey, of the southwest territory, took the floor. He said If the Mine Workers could not force recognition of their demand the defeat would fan the flames of secession, which he claimed were smouldering in the southwest. Adam Bednorskl and Peter Bednorski, brothers, of Johnson street, were tried In court on the charge of having assaulted a child named Mooney. The prosecutor in the case was the child's mother. After the evidence had been presented Peter Bednorskl was acquitted and his brother was found guilty. The latter, howe\rer, was discharged without any penalty.

"X don't believe It." replied President Mitchell. "I ask all the delegates from west of the Mississippi whose people favor secession to stand up." Peter Hanraty, president of the miners of the Indian Territory and Kansas, made the statement that he had never heard of secession until he same to Indianapolis. "It Is true." he said, "that there is Btrong sentiment for admission, but we shall always stand by the organization." President Richardson, of the Kan- Has miners, favored abandoning tht demand for admission of the southwest and suggested that the southwest meet with its operators separately and the two conferences could keep In touch with each other and agree not to sign till both had reached an agreement.

When the general convention of the miners resumed its sitting following the recess the action of the caucus of the miners of the southwest was announced.

It wilt be recalled that the suit was brought to decide the ownership of a farm in Ransom township, which was bequeathed to Mrs. Ydung by her mother, who In turn had received it from her sister. The chief point at issue was the validity of the will of John Stout. The plaintiffs alleged that the will was Invalid, on the ground that the decedent Was not of age when made the will. The defendant refuted the charge and produced a family Bible With a birth entry showing that John Stout was of age when he made the will. It was alleged by the plain- , tiffs that the birth entry had been traced over and the year of birth changed. Handwriting experts testified and, as usual, disagreed, but the j jury came to the conclusion that no 1 change had been made In the birth entry. Attorney W. I. Hibbs, of this city, and Attorney A. A.

Washington, Jau. 27.—That he draws |12,000 annually from the Clover Leaf route is an admission made by Theo* (lore P. Shouts, chairman of the Isthmian canal commission, which may have an important bearing on the canal investigation. Mr. Shonts was called by the senate interoceaulc canal committee to make a general statement of all matters over which he exercises control. He was asked to tell bis former empjoympnt. He said that be had been president of the Clover Leaf route. It was brought out that he still receives $12,000 a year and continues to hold the title of president. He says he does uot give uny time to the management of the road, but that reports are sent to him, and frequently officials of the road come to Washington to consult 1dm.

An American constructor in a field made up almost entirely of foreign competitors triumphed as the builder of the fastest automobile for sprint distances ever put together.

President Mitchell stated the object of the meeting and Delegate Mo- Cluskey, of the southwest territory, took the floor. He said If the Mine Workers could not force recognition of their demand the defeat would fan the flames of secession, which he claimed were smouldering in the southwest. Adam Bednorskl and Peter Bednorski, brothers, of Johnson street, were tried In court on the charge of having assaulted a child named Mooney. The prosecutor in the case was the child's mother. After the evidence had been presented Peter Bednorskl was acquitted and his brother was found guilty. The latter, howe\rer, was discharged without any penalty.

"X don't believe It." replied President Mitchell. "I ask all the delegates from west of the Mississippi whose people favor secession to stand up." Peter Hanraty, president of the miners of the Indian Territory and Kansas, made the statement that he had never heard of secession until he same to Indianapolis. "It Is true." he said, "that there is Btrong sentiment for admission, but we shall always stand by the organization." President Richardson, of the Kan- Has miners, favored abandoning tht demand for admission of the southwest and suggested that the southwest meet with its operators separately and the two conferences could keep In touch with each other and agree not to sign till both had reached an agreement.

When the general convention of the miners resumed its sitting following the recess the action of the caucus of the miners of the southwest was announced.
