A decision is expected to be handed down
In the United States Supreme Court today
which will set at rest litigation that has
been carried on for over half century 1t

Clark wealthy citizen Of New Orleans,
and the father If Mrs. Gaines. died Aug l6
| 1913, and by a will Of May 70, 1911,
his property was left 10 his mother
Before the will was probated how
ever, the court was served with notice
that later win, which could not be found,
had been made. IN 1871 the executors I'M
der the first will sold 10 Evariste Blanc for
a, 10 a tract Of - acres Of land lying then
in the suburbs Of tins city, and in 1884 Blanc
s9ld this property ~ the city for $4,000.
but before he did 80 the last will, dated in
1913. was found, and Mrs. Gaines filed her
| petition in the Probate Court To prove IL,
and also served notice Of the contest upon
/ the city. The property was sub-divided
into small lots by the city aud sold 10 diff

Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee who represents the
district through which that stream flows Sun

famous 10 the one who succeeded in getting an
appropriation for its Improvement. They mad
n great laugh over it, when Mr. McMillin told
how ne got the appropriation through. 1T was
my first term in Congress, - said Mr. McMilin,

river was the one made famous by Mark Twain
for fear the bill would be laughed out of the

about it, and asked them to help me out OF

made no provision for it in the regular bill, and
had to offer amendment.
This / did modesty but the members
of the committee raised a storm of objections,
ard all declared they had never heard of the
stream. It was evident the whole story must
come ont, or there would he no appropriation.

Judge Gresham will hardly 20 TO Chi
cage with more than A votes instructed for

the country q strong sentiment in his favor.
For Instance, the Philadelphia Mems urges
the Pennsylvania sielegatiOn 70 vote for
him. Assuming that Mr Blaine Is out Of the
race, it says there is very little enthusiasm in
the State for Senator Sherman, and none
for either Depsw, Harrison OF Allison,
while there is a very decided sentiment for
Gresham. The friends Of Judge Gresham
also declare that he will get several State
delegations as soon as hvor7ts sons are

WIN these expectations be realizedl 1t is

an obstacle that will not be easily over
