ditional Charges-Action Taken
by Mrs. BaTbeT's Daughter.

The contest over the Will of the late
Elizabeth BARRIER, of Anao ostia, has been
certified 20 the circuit court for hear
ing on its merits. This action was taken
yesterday by Judge Hagner in the probate
court.
A u.o complete caveat was filed yes
terday which makes addit oaal charges.
Mrs. Ida McLaren is the petit. oner She
is daughter of Mrs Earber, who devised
her property i'll what purported to be
will, which was filed by DraA NJ Green,
or Anacostia, who was named executor.
The supplementary cavcat recites that the
deceased, in the presence of the petitioner,
Mrs. McLaren, and ala o III the presence OF
Miss Elizabeth Watson.
A step granddaughter frequently re-
fcrred TO and mentioned a paper which
she said contained directions as TO the
disI osition of her personal estate, ana at
least on one occasion exhibited the same
and read therefrom certain gifts of a
part OF her personal property.
1t is asserted that these gifts Were
entirely inc onsistcnt with the provisions
OF the VIII offered for probate, ana that
the deceased referred TO another will
at different times extending over a rer!cd
OF from ABOUT eighteen months 10 SIN or
seven weeks before her death. On one Of
these occasions il is ola!Inod She stated that
the paper would be found after her death
in her chiff oner, or bureau and II another
time that ii woald bc in the Possession
OF Or. A NJ. Green. The latter is named
executor in the alleged VIII filed by him
for probate.

fidertial adviser of Mrs. parber pIior 20
and at the time of the execution OF the
alleged will; also that he was unfriendly
TO Mrs. McLaren, and preiudiced her
mother against her at or aboIt the time
of the execution OF the paper offered for

to have referred to the action of Mrs. Me-
Laren and her step-daughtcr, Mrs. Eliza
z. watson, concerning the estate of the
wife OF DR.. Green, who was a sister of the
petitioner. Mrs. Green died in May, 1898
The petitioner charges that DR.. Green
induced Mrs. Barker to look with sus-s
pcon and disfavor upon her, and also
wrongfully procured the execution of the
alleged viii by undue influence, fraud,
| misrepresentation, or aTtificc, practiced
upon the deceased, who was then resid-
ing at the house Of DR.. Green.

THE PEOPLES COLUMN

Editor Times: If advice TO the Inaugural
ton committee is in order, / would like
10 suggest, relative to street decorations
that different colored electric lights be
used 10 construct various appropriate en-
bienis and designs, such as the coats-Of-arms
or great seal devices OF the several States
ofthe Union. ON the public buildings stio lid
be placed large American flags, COM
posed OF red, white, and blue electric
lights. The lights would be prettier and
cheaper than the proposed arches. SINH
lar decorations were used on the occasion
of the concIave OF Knights Templar, at
Denver, in 1892, and We're much admired
1t is hoped that the committee viii ar
range so as to limit the parade and have
it over by 4 y. m, at the latest. Make
it interesting ana cut it short.

MERELY A FRIENDLY SUIT.
A Statement RelatingtO Matters Con-
nected With the Crawford Estate.


nected with the Crawford Estate.
In the article appearing in The Times Of
last evening, in relation to the suit brought
by LudwigS. Filbertto wind up the partner
ship business heretofore existing between
him and the late II enry L. Crawford, now
deceased, it was stated that said decedent
had made investments in his own name Of
firm assets.
In so far as S UGH statement may indi-
cate that any charge is made in said suit
that investments Were impi operly made
OF firm assets, The Times desires to cor
rect any such erroneous statement, since
the suit in question is purely friendly
one, made necessary by the fact that one
of the children of Mr.. Crawford is n minor,
and therefore decree of court is neces-
sary 10 pass complete title to the assets
of said firm.
He said partnership was carried on under
the firm-name and style of II. L. Crawford;
hence all Investments of firm assets were
properly made In the individual name OF
II L. Crawford.
