WANTS HER DEED.
The Claim Made by Mrs.
Joan Hunter.
She Says That She Inherits the
Whole Estate by an Agree
ment With Her Husband.

The first of what promises to be a long
litigation over the million-dolIar estate of
the late David Hunter entered upon its
initial stage In Judge SeawelPs courtroom
Yesterday. And the issue at present on
trial is deemed of the greatest Importance,
as upon the result hangs the fate of the
lawsuit pending over the dead mans con-
tested will.
Judge Seawell is engaged upon the suit
brought by Joan \. g. Hunter. widow of
the late David Hunter, against the exec
utors and heirs of her late husbands es-
tate, to compel srecific performance of a
deed by which David Hunter in his lite
time made over all his property to his
wife, receiving in turn similar deed from
her.
1t is claimed by the plaintiff that David
Hunter one day observed TO her that lie
wished to rroyide against possible con-
test over his estate. II wish to have no.
body fighting over my will" he said. SO il
was agreed between Hunter q his
wife that each should make deed in favor
Of the other, transferring all property. real
and personal, belonging to either, and thus
avoid the trouble and necessity of making
a will.
This was done, Mrs. Hunter being the
first 10 execute the promised deed. In the
presence of number of witnesses and
attorneys Mrs. Hunter formally endowed
her husband with all her worldly goods by
presenting him with complete deed OF
transfer. Soon after this occurred DaviC
Hunter presented his wife with a similar
deed. Both deeds were drawn up by the
Tiden brothers, at present executors Of
David Hunters disputed will.
The property thus conveyed Is of grea
value and consists of real property both il
San Francisco and Alameda counties
But ON Mrs. Hunter being taken with q
severe sickness in March, 1898. she was in.
formed by Attorney Tilden that her hus
band had demanded the return of hI:
deed and had subsequently, made will, by
which his widow Inherited only one-hal
of his estate. This will Mrs. Hunter al
lowed to be probated. reserving to herself
the right CT subsequently cOntesting it, al
action which she has since taken.
The preliminary step of course has beer
TO demand the establishment of the deco
executed by David Hunter. The case be-
gan Yesterday, and after an Intellectual a t.
tempt on the part of the plaintiffs to secure
a Jury trial Judge Seawall decided that tint
case, being one In equity, must be tried
without jury.
Mrs. Hunter occupied the stand durins
the whole of yesterday afternoons pro
ceedings. She told her story in a very
straightforward manner. Asked a ones
ton concerning her surprise at the actor
taken by her husband Mrs. Hunter re-
piled: II was surprised, OF course. Mr.
Hunter was bound by our mutual under
standing, and had no righttO receive hi!
deed back, nor to make a will" The cas-.
goes on TO-DAY.

A sharp Protest.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
There is a very-Wide and strong senti-
ment against the erection of contagious
disease hospital on he site selected by
the Commissioners IDS reported in last
rights Star. The.s5 hdsspital can never be
built. if public interests are considered.
l cannot imagine an official or set of off,
Gals Who would be, sensitive to an unjust
public opinion, and the fact that the Com
missioners concealed n contemplated act
in which. the entire community was in
terested under the dangerous cloak of sus-
picious secrecy would !seem to point very
clearly to the factathat y feared a just
expression of the people. There have been
senseless acts performed from time to
time by those who have had the direction
of our municipal affairs, but 1T is difficult
to conceive of one 50 completely devoid
of Judgment as THIS recent act of the Com
mssioners. The idea of selecting a small
tract Of land probably only sufficiently
large to accommodate the building that ii
Is contemplated to erecD in a valuable and
rapidly improving section of what is now
practically known as the city is prepos-
ferrous. The owner of every foot of ground
for squares around this site is damaged
In proportion as public opinion will regard
the hospital nuisance. 1t Will be vain
for the Commissioners and the health off,
Ger to make assurances that there is abso-
lutely no danger to be feared from PROV
unity to contagious disease hospital; gen.
eral sentiment Is to the contrary, and It
Is this sentiment that fixes values and esti-
mates damages The proper thing to do
in the selection of a site for an institu-
ton of this sort is palpable that it ought
to admit of no question and certainly re-
quires no discussion. Their act in this case
is high-handed and outrageous, and 1 say
so without the least personal property in
terest in the matter whatever.

Principal NalIey Makes Objection.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In your report of the meeting of the
WOODBURY. Citizens Association held the
10Th instant | notice the assertion was
made by some of the members regarding
Brightwood school that the school there
would be plenty large enough if children
of the state of Maryland did not crowd
out children who are elttled to the school
privileges"
/ am not willing to let this statement
go unchalienged. No children have been
crowded OUT of BTightwood school There
are roll today in the building one hun
dred and eighty-siX pupils who are bona
eide residents"of the District of Columbia
We have in the four rooms but one hun
dred and Seveny-fiYe desks and in cOnse-
QCence it found necessary TO form
two halliday schools in one department.
This suburb is growing rapidly. Five new
houses are in course of erection and the
probability is that by the beginning of
the next school session this number will
have been doubled. l am confident that by
the time the additional four rooms pro-
VidGd for in the estimates can be made
ready for occupancy enough new pupils
will present themselves to fill at least two.
Finally, L would suggest that our friends of
the WOODBURY. Citizens AssC citation not
make assertions without reliable data, and
that they get their appropriation if posi-
bic. on the merits of their own case, and
net base their argument upon any i'm
agii.ary dement, as to the claim of Bright
wood school. w. h. NALLEY.

John S. Johnson yesterday secured the
chrysanthemum bouquet of records at
Louisville-the paced mile, flying start,

The first trial was to be for the mile

Johnson also broke the two thirds mile

standing start, and the mile, standing
start. He made the mile in the remarkable
time of 1.52 1-5, the. previous record made
