HERON HEIRS ABROAD
INQUIRIES AS TO THE WILL RE-
CEIvED FROM ENGLAND.
Sensational Dispositions in the Case
Settlements with Some of
the Parties Alleged.

The contestants in the Heron will case
have not yet indicated to their attorneys,
Mcbride & Denny, whether they intend to
further prosecute their claims. Mr.. Nc
Bride said yesterday that the firms clients
have until spring to determine what they
will do. The will must be contested within
three years. Recently the attorneys in the
first case have received letters from addi-
tional heirs in England making inquiries,
Mr. Mcbride said that he did not know
whether the English heirs would direct that
the will be contested.
1--WE understand" said Mr.. Mcbride.
that some sort of a settlement has been
made with some of the original parties to
the suit. We have been much misrepre-
scented and unfairly criticised with regard
to our connection with this litigation, and
have not cared to make any inquiries as to
whether settlements have been made by the
executor with certain of the contestants or
cot"
Mr.. Mcbride explained that the firm OF
which he is a member had no desire to
thwart the Art Association, and was only
interested in protecting the interests of the
firms clients
1t seems doubtful whether further litiga-
ton will ensue. If the case ever comes to
trial some sensational evidence will doubt
less be introduced. Dispositions are now OF
record which tend to show that the testator
was subjected to a great deal of influence
AT least two wills were executed in favor
Of the Art Association. The first provided
for the management of the estate by five
or more trustees. This was not regarded as
satisfactory by one of the trustees. ac-
cording to the dispositions. and he induced
Mr.. Heron to cancel the first will and ex-
ecute another. making him sole trustee. If
the case is ever tried efforts will be made
to show that the will was executed while
Mr.. Herrons mind was unsound and that
he was unduly influenced. Those who have
watched the course of the litigation say
that much of the criticism that has been
placed upon the attorneys for the contest
ants was unfounded, as they never 500
licited employment on it in any way, and
simply accepted the case in the ordinary
course of their practice. Ii they were dis
posed to have any personal interest in
breaking the will it is claimed that 1t would
have been an easy matter for them to ar
range the matter of the cost bond.

ART WITHOUT A CENTER.
Pupils OF the Former School Hold a
Meeting.

The Indiana School Of Art has not thriven
in its new quarters, since the old building
was torn down, and has finally suspended
operations for lack of funds to keep up
the expenses. In view of this condition of
affairs, about thirty of the old pupils, most
ly members of the night GLASS; met last
evening at the School of Music, to see If
some means could not be devised for keep
ing up their class work. Howard McCor-
mick was made chairman, and an express
sion of opinion as TO what should be done
was asked of the various gentlemen present.
There were almost as many views advanced
as there were people present. Mr.. McCor-
mick'S notion was that they should organ
lie an art league. Mr.. Lieber suggested
that they guarantee a certain amount say
SIS each, and elect an instructor, who could
then afford to open a school. Otto Starke
suggested that the idea of an organization
was better, as ii would form a nucleus about
which the working art movement of the
city could center. The other suggestions
were variations of these ideas and finally
q provisional committee was appointed,
which will canvass the whole subject and
report a plan of organization, to be report
ed at another meeting to be held Dec :.
This committee is composed of Messrs. Sui

sisted the defendants in effecting compro-
mise by which they received Sl2,O00 from the
estate The plaintiffs now demand their at
torney fees. The attorneys say that clark,

years ago from Pennsylvania, leaving his
wife and SON. these defendants. A few years
later they came to Indianapolis and learned
he was living at Shelbyville, where he was
prosperous and highly esteemed. He had
married again, although 1t is claimed ne

Mrs. Ellen Croft, wife of Robert Croft,
We'll known in labor circles, is lying in a
critical condition at her home (new), No.

slight hope of her recovery. An unfor-
tunate mistake in the contents of two bot
ties will probably cost her her life Mon

and in the course of the conversation re-
marked that she had TO take some quinine a

extremely disagreeable. THAT reminds me

B. & O. WINS ITS POINT
THE J. T. A. MAKES A RULING ON
INTERCHANGEABLE MILEAGE.
Business Men Join I'm the Crusade
Against ScaIpers-A Fast Run over
the Big Four to Cincinnati.

For some weeks past the passenger fra
ternity has been waiting the decision of the
board of managers of the Joint Traffic AS
ISOLATION on the request of D. B. Martin,
passenger traffic manager of the Baltimore
g. Ohio, that the new interchangeable mile
age in use on the lines in the Central
Traffic Association be extended over its
main line to Baltimore if not to Philadcl-
phia, and yesterday the board of managers
settled two important questions, the first
by resolution. thus:
THAT the application of the St Louis
lines to equaliZe through rates from Mis-
souri, points via East st. Louis with those
via Chicago, be approved, the same being
subject to the supervision of the joint agent
at St. Louis"
In the passenger department the follow
ing was adopted:
THAT from and after Dec. 1, 1897, the in
terteTritoriaI use of mileage tickets be-
tween Central Passenger Association and
Trunk Line Association territories be dis
continued except, first, as required by law:
second. that the Pennsylvania, the Balti-
more & Ohio and the Chesapeake & Ohio
systems be privileged to use mileage tickets

Martin that the Chesapeake & Ohio and
the Pennsylvania are given like privileges
with the Baltimore & Ohio. but it seems
to be the only manner the matter could
be arranged without creating friction. In
passenger circles it is thought that the
ruling is much more reasonable and just
than have been some of the rulings of the
board of managers relative to differential
rates in the case of the east-and-west trunk
lines or on the excess fare question

VIII Join No Political Leagues.

1t is said at the Peoria headquarters of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
Brotherhood OF Railroad Trainmen and
Order of Railway Photographers that these
organizations. as such, will have nothing
to do with the new Railway Employees and
Telegraphers' Political League of America,
as they had nothing to do with the old
American Railway League, because of its
political character, unless the league should
endeavor to use them through their own
members. Then they would take measures
to stop such intrigues. The November num-
Der of the Trainmens Journal criticiseS the
old league severely. 1t declares: ut (the
league) is an attempt to make politicians,
railroad managers and others believe that
the officers of the league possess an all
powerful influence with the men that Will
lead them to vote whichever way the
aforesaid officers direct them Its purpose
is not only political. but partisan"

Appellate Court did likewise. In the Su-
preme Court, Judge Howard succeeded

Appellate Court Judge Robinson succeeded
Judge Wiley I'M like capacity. The APP
pellate Court handed down no opinions. but
the Supreme Court filed fifteen. One of
these was a decision reversing the Marion
Superior Court in the case of s. M. Shep-
ard receiver, against the Meridian National
Bank. Shepard was receiver and trustee
for the people whose funds were embezzled
by John e. Sullivan. county clerk. When
Sullivan became clerk he owed the bank bank
funds that came into his hands as clerk.
The bank applied these to his private IN
debtedness, and Shepard sought to re,
cover this sum- The lower court DECIDED
in favor of the bank. The supreme Court
declares that the trust funds could not be
so applied or retained by the bank. the

FITS WHEN MOON CHANGES.
A Weakness That Fails to Save Lind
sey from Prison.

George Lindsey the colored man who
pleaded guilty to passing 81 bills that had
been raised TO the denomination Of IS, was
brought before Judge Baker yesterday and
sentenced to five years in the Ohio peni-
tertiary. His attorney made plea for lem
iency on the ground that he was subject
to fits and not strong mentally. In the
course of his plea. he said the charitable
institutions would not receive epileptics,
and the court remarked that there was one
institution that would.
Iindsey.s mother and physician testified
to his habit of having fits. His mother said
they usually looked for the fits when the
moon changed. If he did not have one then
he was sure to have it in the second quar-
ter. In passing sentence, the court re-
marked that the prisoner in selecting the
victims upon whom to pass his bills had
shown cunning of a very superior Sort and
his ability to battle all the authorities for
weeks had marked him as a very danger
