LILLIAN HASTINGS CLAIMS.
Her Chances Disputed by Attorney
S. N. Shortridge.

s. N. Shortridge.
Attorney S. M. Shortridge occupied the
whole morning session in Judge Troutfs
court yesterday with an argument to set
aside the appointment of J. j. Groom as
temporary receiver of the S. Clinton
Hastings estate.
Groom was appointed receiver pending
the petition of Lillian K. Hastings to set
aside the trust reposed by the late Judge
in the executor, W. Eiselman. as far back
as 1887. Mrs. Lillian claims to be the
heiress to the estate as the legitimate
widow of the late Judge.
Mr.. Shortridge argued that there was DO
need whatever for receiver in this case.
The estate was being fairly and ably ad-
mlnistered and the property ought not to
be tied up in this manner unless there was
a strong presumption that Mrs. Hastings
would gain her case. 1t was shown that
Mrs. Hastings on being separated from her
husband accepted an allowance of $500
month In consideration of relnQushing
all claims against he estate.
When Judge Hastings died the allow
ance, which only existed during coverture,
ceased, but the heirs had consented
to her receiving $50 month,
which had been paid regularly to
her since that date. Besides there was $780,
900 Of shares which were made over TO the
petitioner as her absolute property. 1t was
strange that Mrs. Hastings had allowed
all these years tn slip by without making
such formal protest as she has now done.
George A. Knight was there to reply. but
by consent the further hearing was con-
tinued until Friday next. Meanwhile, the
order pointing the receiver re mains tenn
porarily suspended.

UNUSED TRACKS.
Ackerson Will Not Tear

He Does Not Believe That He Can
Be Legally Indemnified From
Damages.

Street Superintendent Ackerson will n OF
tear up the railroad tracks. Some weeks
age he was ordered by the Board Of Su.
pervisors to at once tear up all the unused
and abandoned tracks in the city, The
board went so far as TO indemnify him from
any damage that might result from conse-
quent suits by the injured companies.
Superintendent Ackerson applied to the
City and County Attorney for advice in
the matter, but that official calmly
answered in polite legal bllet-doux that
he was not employed by the city to give
free advice to officials as individuals.

Ackerson sought private Legal advice and
yesterday received an answer which mazda

He appealed from the decision, and one of

The Authorities Preparing a Legal
Reception for CoXeyites.
WASHINGTON. April Wasbington
authorities, civil and military, are be-
ginning to take an active interest in the
arrival OF C0Xey's army. As the COM
monweal approaches and the stories
of attachments from various cities
begin to he authenticated, the
outlook for rather troublesome
problem for TIE district authorities
10 solve becomes bright. The question
is, what will be done with the Coxeyites
after they disband? The individual
members of the army will be without
means to get out of the city. and Gen.
Coxey has disclaimed all intention of
leading away the men he brings IN. 1t
begins to look as though the men might
encamp in the district, and practically
say to the authorities: Here we are.
and what do you propose to do with
u.s."
The district commissioners had pre-.
pared today list of the statutes under
which CoXey and his men could be ar
rested and dealt with. There is no lack
of law: laws against yagrancy, against
bringing pauperS into the district,
against assemblings on the capitol
grounds, or professions without per-
nit.
Commissioner Ross the president of
the board. today said that the authori-
ties do not think they will have trouble
in dealing with the Coxey army, and
that he considered the invasion chiefly
dangerous because of the precedent it
would establish. Ii disgruntled factions
were to form the habit of marching
upon the capitol in force to voice their
demands. he thought it would be
disturbing to legislation and decidedly
uncomfortable for residents of the city
There are $50 men on the local police
force, bur. of course, only fraction of
the body would be available to handle
the CoXeyites, and the probabilities are
that it would be necessary to call upon
the militia for assistance. There are
1,6D0 troops SO we'll drilled that they
could be massed in marching order on
two hours notice from Gen. Albert Ord
way, their commander.
