HOLT WILL CASE.

Opposing Sides Now Ready to Join
Issue.
The issues to be submitted to jury in
the matter of the contest over the estate
of the late Judge Advocate General Joseph
Holt will probably be fled in the Probate
Court some time during the coming week.
1t is understood that the issues have, with
single exception, been argued upon by
Messrs. ]. J. Darlington and Blair Lee,
representing the executors and benefi-
Charles under the alleged will of February,
1873 and Messrs. Jere M. Wilson and A. S.
Worthington, counsel for the heirs-at-law
But for the sickness of Mr.. Wilson, it is
said, an agreement would have been reach
be able to consider the matter in day or
two. it is thought, and the issues will be
ready for submission to the Probate Court
not later than Friday Of next week, it is
believed.
The contest grows out of the receipt;
by the register of wills of the mysteriously
mailed will last August. Until then it
was believed generally, of course, that
Judge Holt had died intestate, and when
the executor, Mr.. Luke Devlin, offered it
for probate the heirs-at-law promptly OBJ
jected, denying that it is the will of Judge
Hclt and also declaring that if it ever was
it was revoked. These are the questions
which a jury will be called upon to answer
and counsel in the case hope to have the
issues prepared in time for a trial thereon
some time in April or May.

NO LONGER A DEMOCRAT.
A Georgetown Politician RenOuncs
His Allegiance to the Party.


An Interesting sequel to the democratic
local campaign, which has just been
hl ought to a close, is the statement of Mr..
Charles c. Clark, 1907 31st street, George
town, that he has severed his connection
" 18th the democratic party for all time. Mr..
Clark attended the primaries in the fourth
district Tuesday evening, but was not al
lowed to vote by the district managers OH
the ground that he had cast ballot at
the recent republican primaries in this
city and was therefore not a democrat in
good standing.
In conversation with a Star reporter to-
day, Mr.. Clark said: Il wish to state that
the reason that 1 was not allowed to vote
was not because I had taken part in the
republican primaries, but because 1 had
asserted my rights as all American and
connected myself with the American Pro-
tective Association. l have been a demo-
crn. all my life and for number of years
past have been Identified with the Young

l am corresponding secretary, and have

paigns. But my eyes are now open; have

shoulders too long. I am through with it

He Was Cold.

When the cold wave reached here Tues
day Henry Moten, colored, found himself
short of fuel, and he was equally short of
cash with which to buy some kindling and
black diamonds. The poor man did not want
to freeze to death or suffer from the cold,
and so he helped himself to piece of lum-
Der in Norcross Bros lumber yard, and a
policeman arrested him for theft. This
morning, instead of enjoying himself by the
fire made with the piece of lumber, he was
in a room heated by steam. where he had
nothing but three white walls and iron bars
in the way of scenery.
He left this little room for few minutes
to appear before Judge Miller. To the judge
he said he thought he had done no harm IN
taking a piece of board.
The court thought he had done no serious
harm, but he had no business taking what
did not belong to him, and imposed fine
of s. or ten days

She WINS ExOnerntcd.

Veronica Court, No. Ii. Daughters of
Jer, salem, was well represented in the
Police Court today, when Louisa Myers.
the treasurer of the subordinate lodge, was
placed on trial on charge of having en-
bezzIed $50 Of the funds of the lodge.
Martha NJ. Jordan, who says she is the
worthy mother of the organization, made
the complaint. The high chancellor was
also a witness in the case.
Lawyer Jones represented those who
were prosecuting the treasurer. while the
latter was defended by Lawyers Kicks ami
Smith.
The court could hardly tell from the evil
dence and the workings of the order in Just
what way the financial affairs were con-
Quoted, and the proof failed to shcw that
the treasurer had ever had' in her posses
sion the $40 charged.
Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny aban-
Goned the case, and Treasurer Louisa
Myers was eXonerated.

ENGAGING ALL THE ROOMS.

Mckinley Forces, Securing Extensive
Accommot la tfOns at ST. Louis,
Within the past four days friends and sup
porters of Maj. Mckinley Of Ohio have Sc
cured accommodations for 1900 people at St.
Louis during the republican national conven-
ton. The Pennsylvania delegation gave I'D
its contract with the Lindell Hotel, to care
for 800 people, and the space was eagerly COB
bled up by the Ohioans. Then Iowa gave
up accommodations for 300 people and Nc
kinleyites also secured them.
The Marylanders were the third to throw
up the sponge, and before the ink on the
telegram was cold the buckeyes had the
accommodations. Aside from this the Nc
k'nley forces have made contracts with the
Southern for all the space that hotel would
give them, and the same thing has been
done by them at the Lindell, st. James,
Laclede, Planters and at every hosiery
Where any accommodations whatever could
be secured.
