TOOMEY WILL IN COURT
Judge Lindsay's Order Produced
the Document.
IT IS A PRIVATE LETTER
The Husband Practically Cut OF From
Inheritance-Her Money Left to
Her Sisters and Mother-The
Case Postponed,

The lost, secreted or alleged stolen
will of the late Mrs. Kate Toomey
was produced in court yesterday by
D. l.. Toomey, husband of the deceas-
ed, on orders from Judge Lindsay.
Mrs. Toomey's two sisters, Anne Gar
rity and Mrs. Della Pitts, petitioned
the court for the order, having alleged
that Toomey had taken the will from
the latter and had secreted it and
then went into court and applied for
letters of administration. alleging that
there was no will The matter came
up for hearing yesterday on an order
to show cause why Toomey should
not be required to produce the will.
Toomey's attorney had filed objec-
tons to the petition and asked that the
objections be heard first, admitting,
however, that the alleged will was in
Toomey's possession. Judge Lindsay
then said he had spent good deal of
time in listening to the family troubles
of the parties and he would order the
will to be submitted to the court and
it was then produced and filed, and
further proceedings continued indefi-
nitely in order to give the petitioners
time to examine the will and determine
what further should be done.
The alleged will is in the form Of
private letter to Mrs. Toomey's sis
ter, Miss Anne Clarity, and gives di-
rections for the disposition of her es-
tate and makes financial provisions for
Mrs Toomey's unborn child, but prac-
tically cut off her husband. The main
portions of the letter or will are as
follows:

WAS BLOWN UP
BY TORPEDOES
the Maine-Were Exploded
by Contact.

New York, Nov. 25.-The World to-
morrow will publish a letter from Ha-
vana stating that United States Off
Gals, after months Of secret investiga-
ton, have discovered that the battle
ship Maine was blown up by gun cotton
torpedoes placed in the bay for the pur-
pose. The gun cotton, 200 pounds OF
which was used, was sent from BARGE
Iona to Admiral Manterola, command
ing the port of Havana, and was either
stolen from the magazine where the
stuff was stored or taken away with
the knowledge of the officials in charge.
Admiral Manterola's records will I'M
doubtedly show the names of his SUBJ
ordinates who had direct control Of the
explosives, and in that way identity
of the authors and the executioners Ct
the plot to destroy the Maine may he
discovered. Two or three men may
have been engaged in the destruction
Of the Maine. A steam launch of Span
ish make now used by the United States
government in Havana harbor con-
veyed the two torpedoes, according to
the new evidence, to a point within a
few feet of the berth of the Maine and
anchored them. The torpedoes were
kept in position by means Of buoys
foated II feet under water, 10 feet above
the anchors used to prevent them from
being swept away. The torpedoes were
exploded by contact with the keel Of
the Maine as she swung at anchor.

on both sides played fiercely, but Hide

Princeton's end was much too speedy
for their Yale opponents, and Poe's
work from start to finish puts him at
the head of the ends Of the country.
His partner, Palmer. was not far be-
hind, and the brilliant work Of the pair
in getting down the field as we'll as
breaking up the Yale interference was
highly sensational. There was some
fumbling, and three times Mcbride, in
bucking the line, dropped the ball, and
a bad muff by Hutchinson, Princetons
quarterback, gave Yale her chance to
kick the goal from the field.
