A CONTEST FOR MILLIONS.
The Legal Fight Over the Estate
of william Henry King.

New York Aug. THE testimony OF
James A. Rancker, aged seventy seven, and
that OF Benjamin ID. Silliman. aged ninety
three taken before Charles W Bennett, as
referee, to be used in the suit brought by
William D. King and others against Mrs.
Eupenia A. Webster Ross, to establish the
rightful heirs OF William Henry King, who
died in the Butler Hospital Providence
R. l., several months ago, and to prevent
Mrs. Ross from receiving any share in his
fortune, has been filed with the Supreme
Court. The evidence taken is to be used
in behalf of the plaintiffs. Mr.. Kings for
tune is estimated at almost 100000.
He has been an inmate Of insane asylums
for about thirty years. Mrs. Ross contends
that sue is his niece and only heir. The
plaintiffs insist that she is not related to
him, and that they are his only heirs.
Mr.. Banckner first met william Henry
King when he was a young man in the
spring Of 1912, in Canton, China. They
became Close friends and often Travelled to-
gether.
He testified that he never heard any
question repeated as to the identity of
Mr.. King until several years ago.
Mr.. silliman, who has been practfcing
law in this city since 1929, testified
that he knew the entire King family
because DR.. David King, brother of
william H., was his fathers family ply
sician, and he had also done great
deal of business for William H., and his
brother Edward. He appeared, together
with former Chief Judge Greene, of Rhode
Island, as counsel in the proceedings in
which William H. King was adjudged
insane. He testified that Mrs. Ross had
called upon him several times within the
last five or six years and questioned him
with respect TO many matters pertaining
to Mr.. King, but he refused to answer
his questions when he became convinced
that there must be some purpose in them,
which was not revealed.

The August Forum.

The Forum for August contains as its
first article a paper by Gen. Howard,
frankly stated to be "A Plea for Our
Army" Gen. Howard advances mo- very
new arguments, except one, which he
attributes to his opponents, namely: That
there is no need of an army, a police force
or q sheriff's posse. He appears to think
that the teachers Of our youth Ire promul-
eating this doctrine; but this is the first
time anything of the kind has been Sc
riously ascribed to them. Gen. Howard
takes the ground that the Anne rican as a
citizen is less prepared to meet war than
he was in pioneer days, when he was more
occupied with hunting and fighting in the
natural course of his life, and he, therefore,
thinks we should attend to our standing
army, that 1T may not deteriorate.
Dr. Lyman Abbott speaks of "The
Growth of Religious Tolerance in the United
States" and surely he should know his sub
ject, for he has had more or less expe-
rience of both tolerance and its opposite.
Possibly the most interesting article in the
magazine is an essay on 1.-The Future of
tue Red Man. by Pokagon, a Pottawato-
lnie chief. 1t is not until lately that the
Indian has been much consulted as to his
future, the white man appearing to think
that he was equal to that question, Polka
CONS remarks have the charm of novelty.

Justice and Mercy Gone outing.

Although, doubtless, &c is a fact that
highhred ladies, like to escape town and
ream the woods or lave their ivory limits
in the ocean surf during the heated sea
son, We must beg leave to venture the
opinion that they ought to leave some
one at home TO keep the business going.
Possibly iG may be replied, and with too
much truth, that our American representa-
tives OF the Justice and Mercy families
practically have been out OF blast so long
noticed This is the more to be regretted
since the demand for the wares they once
were wont to produce is very active.
If Justice and Mercy Were not dead or
sleeping. or away in the Adirondacks or
somewhere, we are sure that they would
compel the United States Government to
put a sudden stop to such horrors as the
new columns of this journal yesterda re.
ported from Cnba. The particular case re-
thIrg of this same description is happen
Ing every day within the limited island
area yet within control of the h yena wey-
ler. Atrocities like IL, indeed, are OF
such common occurrence that American
sympathy and rage seem to have burned

tiers of course; accepted almost with the
indifference shown to them by ouc Chris
tan Administration. Still it is as Well
TO keep them before the people. God is
not dead, even IL Justice and Mercy have
put up the shutters and gone fishing.
The other day, as our dispatches related,
near Sancu Spiritus, there was a camp

We cannot withhold commentator for
the prudence and provision OF the ottawa
authorities in treating the question of
doubtful territory either on the Yukon, or
down in the lower partof our possessions,
In connection with both, IL is edifying TO
observe that, according TO the Cana dian
government, whatever land is in dispute or
patch from the Canadian capital stated
that the yiceToyal cabinet had decided to
establish custom stations beyond the head
OF Lynn Canal, which is in disputed terri
tory" In other words, it is in American
territory mdisputably So by anybody but

Further, we are informed that the Can

they could occupy and collect customs in

FIGHTING WITH CIRCUS MEN.
Serious Rioting Between Tent Men
and Citizens in Quebec.

Quebec, Aug. 7.-An oath uttered at
n womaI by one of the employees of Wash
burns circus yesterday afternoon caused
d not in the suburb of st. Sauvaur last
night, which eliminated in bloodshed and
many broken heads. The woman struck
the circuz man who had sworn at her

free fight in which the roughs OF the dis
trict took an active part, but no serious
trouble ensned in the afternoon.
The evening performance had scarcely
begun when a circus hand was arrested.
His comrades attacked the police, and
as there We're only four on the ground
they were overcome and the prisoner re-
leased. The entire police picket was then
called out and soon the fight became gen
eral Stones AMI sticks We're freely used

Then the circus people started their large
elephant into the crowd to scatter it
and panic ensued, in which several women
and children are reported to have been
injured. TIE doctors in the vicinity were
kept busy for some time dressing the
wounds of the injured.
The circus left town this morning for
the Lake st. John District, and had to be
escorted out of town. As it was it was
assailed with stones, aud the employees had
all they could do to get away in peace.

Advertising and It's Outcome.

unintentional variety, and the latter is by
far the more profitable 1t is to the In
