Value Of Estate Left by
Late Mr.. Banigan.

The appellate court today handed
down it's decision in the equity cause
of Attorney Charles f.. German against
John j. Banigan and the other heirs
of the late Joseph Banigan. Mr.. Cor
man recently filed a bill in equity
seeking discovery OF the extensive
estate left by the late Mr.. Banigan.
He sought through a court of equity
to find out just how much the dead
millionaire left in order that a proper
value might be set on his services in
settling the contest that arose through
Mrs. Banlgan's dissatisfaction with
the provision made for her in the will.
Mr.. German had previously begun suit
at law to recover $50. 600 for his SER
vices. The defendants excepted, ar
guing that Mr.. German was simply
junior counsel in settling the will con-
troversy, and that a bill of discovery
could not be obtained in such a case.

GAVE TWO OPINIONS ON
PORTO RICAN QUESTION.

New York. March s0.-Consternation
has been caused by the discovery that
Charles f. Magoon. law officer of the
division of insuiar affairs. upon whose
opinion to the secretary OF war. the op-
ponents of free trade with Porto Rico
have been relying for argument had
previously written another opinion in
which he maintained position exactly
contrary to that assumed in the second
document. says a Washington dispatch
to the Herald. a
I'm his first opinion Mr.. Magoon de-
clared the constitution was extended to
Porto Rico when the peace convention
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1900-03-30

was ratified. In his latest production he
insists that Porto Rico liz not part OF
the United States and that congress has
full power to deal with the island as Il
chooses.
This second opinion has been freely
used by senators in their speeches on
the tariff question. 1t is anticipated that
some sesator before the matter is dis
posed of will introduce a resolution call
ing for the earlier opinion and that the
argument of Mr.. Magoon in support of
the doctrine that constitution does ex-
tend to Porto Rico will be interesting
reading beside the declaration OF Mr..
the constitution does not extend TO
