THE BLYTHE MILLIONS.
Sensational Allegations Filed by At
torneys Opposing the Heirs.

SAN FRANCISCO Dec. 81. - The long
contest over four or five million dollars left
by the late Thomas II. Blythe has de-
veloped another promising sensation. Late
Saturday afternoon there was filed before
the State Supreme Court a notice of a mo-
ton to postpone hearing before that tribu-
nal of the appeal from Superior Judge Cof-
fey's decision declaring that Florence
Blythe is heir to Blythe's millions. Sensa-
tional afidavits accompanied the notice. In
brief, the affidavits, which were filed by at
torneys for claimants opposing Florence
Blythe, the illegitimate daughter, charge
that the girls attorney, Encouragement
w. III. II. Hart, made over to George L.
Bates a contingent interest in the Blythe
estate, amounting to 800, coo, simply because
Bates was a brother-in-law of Chief Jus
tice Beatty, and might influence that jurist
in rendering a decision favorable to Harris
client. Several months ago, however,
Chief Justice Beatty learned of his rela-
tive'S interest in the estate, and publicly
announced that he was disqualified from
participating in the case, though he then
gave no reason.
Chief Justice Beatty has since said, in an
interview. that his knowledge of the rela-
tive's interest Drompted him 10 50 act. The
attorneys of Florence Biythe declare that
the new charges were simply made to gain
time and postpone the hearing. Their eX-

"AUNTY BALDY."
Terre Haute's Ccntenarinn Falls ard
Receives Fatal Injury.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Dec. 31.-Mrs. Ann
Baldridge. known in Terre Haute for a
half century or more as "Aunty Badly" who
was 14 years of age Oct. "A, fell to the
floor of her room at the Old Ladies, Home
Friday night, and broke the bone of her
right thigh. which injury the attending
physician says will be fatal.
Mrs. BaldridSe's maiden name was Ann
Sixby, and she was born in New York
State. At the age of twenty-four she mar
ried Samuel Baldridge. In 1919 they came to
to Terre Haute following the Wabash river.
Terre Haute was but three years old when
they came, and Fort Harrison was yet
an army post. Her husband engaged in
the boating business. then confined to carry
ing farm and garden products by fiat boats
to New Orleans. He left on q trip soon
after they came here, and was never heard
from. Whether drowned or murdered by
the Indians the wife never learned. She
began sewing in the families of, the then
small place. and for fifty years this was
her occupation. She was known as a home
companion in many OF the old families of
the city until some years ago, when she
went to the Old Ladies' Home, where her
friends had especially prepared a room for
her. Only in the last few years has she
been unable to read. On the day of her
~one-hundredth birthday she was presented
with one hundred silver dollars, which she
caused to be deposited In bank, SAYING
she wanted to ave it for her funeral ex-

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Alleged Decision of the Court Martial
in the Case of Surgeon Ashbridge.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3L-The Call to-
day announces what purports to be a de-
cision in the court-martial at Mare island
in the case of Richard Ashbridge, passed as
sistant surgeon, United States navy. Ash
bridge comes from a prominent Philadel-
phia family. 1t was charged before the
court-martia that the young surgeon had
forged the signature of Secretary of the
Navy Herbert to a Geographic message OF
instruction to Captain Howison, commander
at Mare island. 1t seems that Ashbridge
and his superior officer, Howison, had diff
fered regarding the order of the
examining officers who came up for
promotion. The surgeon insisted that
q physical examination be made before the
examination as TO mental requirements.
Captain Howison finally peremptorily or
dered that the physical examination be
made last. He was surprised the following
day to find on his table a Geographic order
from Secretary of the Navy Herbert bear
ing out the surgeons claim. investigation
proved the telegram to be bogus, and the
commandment charged the surgeon with forg-
cry. 1t is said now that the court martial

af<n0ugh unintentionally. They have ac-
caFted the Gregorian New Year instead of
their own, and decorate their houses in
honor of the occasion. But the influence Of
the English who live among them has made
them very prompt in putting up their finery,
50 that they are generally in full festive ar
ray by the dawn of Christmas.
The decorations are decidedly unique from
an Americans point of view. Every detail,

rope, with a deep fringe. This is a very

under it. Over each entrance hangs a great
tassel of grass containing a scarlet cray
fish. It's crooked body symboliZes the back
Of the aged, Lent with years. This is sur

japonica, whose young leaves bud before
parents living when their children's chill

of the japanese polybody. which symbolizes
conjugal life because the fronds spring in
pairs. Embryo leaves symbolic offspring.
There is also a piece of charcoal, which
means home. and two little pieces OF sea-
weed, which typify good fortune and re-
joicing. In the middle of all is the lucky
bag. a square of white paper held in by a
red and white string, which marks a pres

he took care to have It ready only for

The natives have another decoration.
consisting of three green bamboos with
sliced tops, reminding one of organ pipes,
erected on each side Of the portal at a
distance of six feet, the right hand one
~springing out of a tuft of the mematsu,
which signifies the female principle, and
the left hand from the omatsu, which sig
nifies the male. In the midst of all these
emblems the national flags generally wave
from black. lacquered poles headed with
gold balls. If the common people fail to
display these flags they are admonished
by the police, and the flags go UP. They
are generally of white silk crepe, with a
red sun in the center.
A Japanese New Years custom, which
it would not be amiss to import to Amer
lea, is that of paying all debts Except to
foreigners on the first day of the year. A
man who fails to do so without leave of
his creditors is dishonored. Consequently
those who are in debt try TO sell every
thing which will fetch money, and in Toxic
a huge fair is held in the principal street
on New Years eve for this purpose.

Standing once before a pen of beautiful
s"ilver-spangled Hamburgs, l noted that one
Of the most beautiful pullets had a single
comb. The Hamburg is a fowl that has been
bred with a rose comb for more than a
century. Its authentic history covers such
a period as that, while IL has a more or
less mythical one for several centuries
more. What produced this single comb
among fowls bred with a rose comb? Re
version. is the ready answer. And this case
shows that reYerSiOn can. work Tor a very
long period of time. The Plymouth Rock
fowl, at one time in its history, but many
years ago, had a feathered-legged ancestor,
and even to this day there is occasionally
found a chicken reverting TO this character
istic, after many generations OF the most
careful and systematic breeding. He would
be a bold man who would dare 10 say that
reversion can leap the chasm Of so many
years or so many generations, but can go
no further. The limit of its action is I'M
known. That its frequent appearance Is
weakened by the lapse of time is known.
A fowl possessing not more than one
eighth the blood OF a foreign ancestor is,
TO all practical intents, a thoroughbred. and
yet Observation-Disclosures OF such blood may
sometimes make itself felt. Many a breeder
Of fowls has fallen under suspicion of keep
ing impure stock from the fact that IL is
not known that reverSion may bridge the
chasm of many years, and recall some long
forgotten, lonelatent and undesirable char
acteristic. The knowledge of the limitlesS
character of It's action, If it serves no other
purpose, ought TO render people more char
table. Indeed. this is a truth, that he who
has the widest and fullest knowledge OF
breeding. who knows the most about the

GREENSBURG, Ind, Dec. 31.-Pursuant
to call. several Democrats met in conven-
ton In Cortez Ewing's Office. Saturday. to
select delegates TO the Lawrenceburg con-
vention TO elect a committeeman for the
Fourth district. which terminated in a first
class row. Ewing is chairman of the Dem
ocratic county committee, and it is claimed
that he selected his office as the place of
meeting with the view of keeping certain
Democrats out. and it worked like a charm.
Pipes were laid and wires pulled for q slate
delegation favorable TO Clark, editor of the
New Era, for committeeman, but some OF
those present disliked the methods that were
being used. kicked over the traces and a
lively time followed. A motion was made
to allow each township to select
its own delegates, but this was voted down,
and when a motion was carried requiring a
majority of the Democrats present to select,
thus depriving the township OF its own
choice. DR.. John Riley became so Disguised
that he withdrew and called on all who felt
as he did to follow, and they went. John
LUgenbeil presented the name of \. 3. Arm

ton of his name Ewing SDranC to his feet

vention and expressed in plain language his

been treated. There is blood on the moon

IS bad feeling on both sides. In this city the

.DANVILLE, Ind, Dec. a.-At the recent
fTrrners' institute held here the following
resolutions were adopted:
That we sincerely deplore the business de-
preston that has prevailed the past year
and the unemployed labor incident thereto.
We viii cooperate with each other in cur
thorities in relieving the destitute and un-
employed 50 far as in our power, with the
nope that confidence may be restored with
the approach OF spring and the rimidity at
tached TO capital and ccmmeTSe vanish.
We favor domestic competition 10 the
fullest degree. We favor the home market
first, last and all the time, and especially
do we favor our lake shore and SeaDoarG
markets as home markets for the farmers
OF the United States, ana particularly those
of the Mississippi valley. AS farmers, we
oppose the additional competition of our
own products with the products anu labor
OF other countries. We favor such protec-
ton by our tariff laws To our interest and
the people at large as VIII not leave our
people at a disadvantage either in trade,
labor or competition. We believe that the
theory Of cheap labor as "a means of con-
slant employment is a delusion, and cannOt
be borne out by actual practice. To exalt
and dignity labor is to reward il we'll and
ucts of capital and labor can have a con-
slant and paying market, and we cannot
have that market without the levying Of
duties amply sufficient TO cover the diff
pOrtation in other countries entering into
competition with our own products. We
believe that the history and experience of
tariff legislation in our own country are
safer guides than theories of political econ
omy, and should dictate the wisdom of Leg
islation or absence of legislation necessary
TO restore public confidence and relieve the
present financial and business depression

APPEALING TO THE COURTS.
Railway Employees Want to Know
Their Rights Under Receivers.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Dec. 31.-At the
meeting of the chiefs of the several brother
hoods of railway employees at Chicago on
Thursday next the policy Of the organiza-
roads in the hands of receivers will be
more definitely determined. When Judge
Kicks assumed authority in the Ann Arbor
strike the men who are at the head of or
ganized railway labor began looking into
the question of judicial interference in the
relations between employees and employers.
Legal advice of the highest character was
obtained. Their came the hard times with
the consequent receiverships. This simpli-
fled the problem somewhat for the men
because they felt that their case would be
which virtually was the employer. Two
weeks ago a petition was filed in the United
States Court at Toledo which was of more
significance than appeared on It's face. If
the petition for a hearing Is granted the
men will endeavor to convince the court
that the receiver. who is the courts agent,
OF the Toledo. St. Louis & Kansas City
road. is not managing the property for the
he is constantly reducing the wages of the
men there is no net saving because the re-
ceiver has added to the number and in
creased the salaries of the higher officials.
If the Northern Pacific receivers refuse the
request of the men in regard to the schedule
which is to go into effect Tomorrow, the
courts were to be appealed TO in like man
ner. With so many railroads in the hands
of receivers this new policy OF settling con-
trOverSieS between employees and employers
result may be a revolution in the manner
Of adjusting these differences.
