"a decision Of much interest to the legal pro-
fession and to the general public was handed
down yesterday by tho appellate division in tho
case Of O'Brien against tho General Synod and
others. The title of the General Synod to GER
tain lands on Atlantic Avenue was attacked by
the O'Briens, whose mother was their guardian,
and shc had bought their lands at an old fore
closure. in her own name. and had thereafter
mortgaged them to the General Synod. The
Synod subsequently foreclosed and, in its turn.
acquired title, which the children, having come
OF age. sought to repudiate in this action. on the
ground that their mother was, when she bought,
their guardian or trustee, and could not acquire
a legal title in her own name. Tho referee de.

DIR. }. B. HAMBLETON DEAD.
He Wns Familiar Figure in Wash.
inEtsn for Thirty Years.

DIR. James p. Hambleton died yesterday
afternoon at Providence Hospital from an
attack of grip. which visited him ten days
ago He was confined to his room the
owen House until yesterday morning,
when his illness took such a dangerous
turn that he was removed TO the hospital.
DIR. Hambleton had been a familiar figure
in the southern circles here for over thirty
years. and was probably well known
among politicians and public men as any
man in Washington. He was a Virginian
by birth. having been born in PittsylvanIa
county i'm November ISIS. His family had
been prominent in the Old dominion from
its earliest colonial days. and his father
and grandfather were physicians of lon,:
standing. DIR. Hambieton removed when
quite young to Dade county Georgia, to
practice his profession. He married ii
Dade county, and, in addition 70 his prac-
uce, took a warm interest in politics He
was member of the Georgia legislat ature
when the war broke out. and Joined the
confederate army as a surgeon of a Geor-
gla brigade, which afterWard served under
Stoncwall jackson and saw some of the
hottest hshting in the war After Apo
mattox DIR. Hambleton returned TO Cieul-
gld. as firm in his faith of the right of The
southern cause as he had ever been lie
was a candidate for Congress during the
reconstruction period in Georgia. and con-
tested the seat of his opponent without
avail He took up his residence in this
city during Grants first administration
one or his objects being the prosecution of
a cotton claim, which the Court of Claims
some time ago decided i'm his favor. When
the hrst democratic Congress after the
war was elected DIR. Hambleton was maie
clerk 10 the committee on ways and means
pi the House of Representatives but ne
was removed from that place because he
nad named a son John Wilkes Booth Ham
bIeton, and, besides, lost no occasion TO
express his loyalty to the lost cause. He
was man of wide Information, strong in
MS friendship and devoted to his family.
The death of his wife several years ago
alnicted him sorely. He would not believe
that she was dead. and would not permit
the burial of her body until he was as
sured beyond all possibility of a doubt that
lie was extinct. DIR. Hambleton left three
sons-BenJamin, who is now in Texas
where he originally went to become a
Texas ranger; Oliver who is a resident of
New York city, and John Wilkes Booth,
who lives in Florida. Dr. HambIeton's
body was removed to Spndler's undertake
ing establishment, and will be buried to-
morrow in Rock Creek cemetery by the
side of Mrs. Hambleton.

CHllA 1t NnnSenSe.

Referring to the resolutions adopted by
The Jackson Democratic Association last
night, a friend of Mr.. Davis said to a Star
reporter today: That's the most ludicrous
thing l ever heard of, that idea that Mr..
laws nomination is a reward for party
treachery- Everybody knows that the
thought of giving Mr.. Davis that office has
been in the Presidents mind for years.
On the expiration of Mr.. WorIhington's g
term the choice lay between Mr. Davis and
Judge Hoge and was finally made in favor
OF the latter only on the solicitation of
senator kenna. And just two years ago
the President sent for Mr.. Davis and CON
sldereo with him the possibility of his
nomination.
IL was announced at the time in The Star
mat the nomination had been rendered Mr..
Davis, and l recollect that The Star had
an editorial on the subject. 1t was said.
and Is most consistent with Mr.. Davis gem
erous disposition, that the chief obstacle
then in his way was his own statement to
the President that no fault could Justly he
found with Mr.. Birneys administration of
the office.
Yes, that talk about reward for party
treachery is utter nonsense

NO LICENSE FOR THE GARDEN.
How the Excise Board Has Settled
the kOxel Case.

The excise board by its action this morn
ing practically closed Kozefs summer gar
den on lith street. In passing upon the
application for liquor license the board
granted the license upon the stipulation
that it carried no authority to sell drinks
in the summer garden.
The case attracted widespread attention
In the newspapers and in the hearings be-
fore the excise board.
Without dealing with the protests in the
case and aside from every other considera-
ton save the law. the board held this
morning that license could not pe issued
MIR. kozel to sell drinks in the summer
garden. The law contemplated but Two
classes of licenses-wholesale and retail
and IL was clearly without the province OF
the board to countenance by license a
summer garden.
The license issued today to Mr. KozeI
restricts him in the sale of liquor 10 the
building occupied by him. 1927 i4rh street
northwest.
This action was predicted in The Star and
the friends of Mr. Kozel learned some time
ago that the excise board did not favor the
summer garden.
