STATES LEGAL TALENT

Gathered at the Supreme Court
Opening-A Tremendous Calen-
dar.
There has seldom been witnessed in
st. Paul such an aggregation OF Mime
soto legal talent as was gathered at the
capitol yesterday. They had come from
nearly every village and city in the
state to take part in assigning dates for
hearing before the supreme court of
the cases that have been entered on the
October term calendar. The court
room, spacious as it is, could not &C
commodate the throng, and the court
sat in the assembly room of the legiS-
lature. There was full bench. pres
ent, and Chief Justice Gilflan pre-
sided. The whole day was consumed in
the task, despite the fact that the work
was facilitated by passing speedily
from one case to another. There was
really no hitch. anG the attorneys were
pretty generally pleasec with the dates
they secured for their respective hear
ings.
1t is a big calendar, and while the
court will not be burdened with listen
ing to arguments in murder cases. and
while there are comparatively few state
cases, in fact, there are great many
suits of unusual Importance and some
involve the cOnstitutionality of certain
attachments of the legislature, as has al
ready been given in these columns.
One is the proposed test of the probate
law, and another is the constitutionality
OF the act requiring certain corpora
tons to pay state fees for Incorporating
privileges and benefits, while others are
exempted from this tax.
Of n ir1n nd
litigatiOnS, involving great property in
terestS and the titles to real estate, and
there is one case of particular impor-
lance that has been set for argument
Nov. II. 1t is the case in re the will of
Gotttrled Schmidt, Anna Maria Schmidt
ct al, appellants, against Emil Schmidt
ct al, respondents. uThe parties to the
cause live in South st. Paul, and great
deal of property is at stake. 1t seems
that the deceased made two wills, and
that they differed materially in the dis
tribution of the property. Both be-
queathed large numbers of lots to the
Gei IN Methodist missions, while some
of the heirs were cut off with small
allowances. There are several techni-
cal questions involved.
Then there are several cases connect
ed with the old Minnesota Threshing
company-Seymour, Sabin & Co.,-liti-
cations.
The court disposed of several cases
