In one of his usual concise and in
teresting opinions Judge Edwards yes
terday handed down a decision refus-
ing a new trial in the case of William
L. Merrill against A. ]. whitlock, an
ejectment suit for thirty-six acres Of
land in Scott township.
The plaintiff bought at sheriffs sale
eighty-six acres of a land. put up as
the property of Nathan Whitlock. de-
ceased. When he proceeded to take
possession he found A. ]. Whitlock, the
son. opposing his taking a thlrty-six
acre plot, on the ground that 1t was
given to him by his mother and that
his father had not owned it. When
the case came to trial the defendant
set UP a parol petition, alleging that
Nathan Whitlock and his wife, the de-
fendant's parents, many years before
the death of either, amicably arranged
that each should take as his or her own
a certain portion of the farm.
The thirty-six acre plot. which fell
to the wife, was by her turned over
to her son, the defendant, and he
worked It ever since.
Judge Edwards directed a verdict for
the plaintiff. and later granted rule
for a new trial. that the legal mat
ters involved might he carefully con-
sidered before the full bench.
WHAT THEY TRIED TO DO.
The defendant first attempted to
show that the proceedings brought by
the plaintiff to secure possession of
the land was void. because they had
not been instituted before two alder
men or Justices of the peace, as the
old law required. The act of May "a,
1878, giving jurisdiction to one alder
man or Justice in such cases was held
By defendants counsel to be unconsti-
tutional, because the amendment it
provided was not regularly published
To this Judge Edwards simply says
that the matter has been passed upon
by the supreme court and the supple
ment upheld. y
The real and controlling question In
the case. he goes on to say, arises from
the nature of the estate vested in Ma
than and Sarah Whitlock husband and
wife during their lifetime. The land
in dispute with other land was con.
veyed by Vail and wife to Nathan
Whitlock and Sarah Whitlock by deed
dated April 5. 1873. In the deed is this
clause: And 1t is hereby understood

JOHN WANAMAKER
TO THE CITIZENS
His Address Is Adopted by the
Business Mems League-The Poll
tical Situation in Pennsylvania as
Viewed by an ex-ofice Holder.

Viewed by an ex-Ofice Holder.
Philadelphia, March 27.-At meet
ing Of the Business Mems Republican
league today an address by John
Wanamaker to the citizens of Penn
sylvania was adopted.
The address deals entirely with the
election laws of the state. 1t describes
in detail! how the election laws have
been violated in Philadelphia and con-
tinues:
This is not the work of any political
party. though it brings shame upon all
parties, whose names are thus en-
ployed and prostituted. 1t is done by
the machines of both parties, and the
government produced by 1t is governed
by the machines and for the machines.
But the situation in Philadelphia is
only a little worse than in many parts
of the state at large. Other sections
suffer in less degree because political
parties there are less corrupt, and are
to some extent under the control Of
the people. But similar abuses Of the
most terrible character are co-exten>
sive with the commonwealth"
The address then goes on to say that
effective and radical ballot reform is
an impossibility, and therefore not free
nor pure.
"There never will be in this state"
the address continues, "any genuine
ballot reform-that is to say. true and
safe registration. and free and fair
elections-without repeating, coercion.

hi ~ oil oil frn
lar, until article of the constitution,
entitled. suffrage and elections shall
! have been revised so as to provide for
/ compulsory personal registration and
adoption of the Australian secret bal
lot or the voting machine.
Mr.. Wanamaker, in the address,
further says that "the time has ar
rived when nothing less than the as
, semblage of the people themselves in
, sovereign constitutional convention will!
suffice to restore our liberties and to
| adequately safeguard them for the
| future. All other measures have been
| blocked and will again and again BE-
blocked by the machines and their
| allies.
II therefore address myself to the
| people Of Pennsylvania, to all quail
| fed electors without distinction Of
| party, whose lives. liberties and prop
critics lie today at the mercy of ire

secret and corrupt allies, and ask them

the department, this commission will
deal solely with the war department.
The reason for the change is that the
second commission has to deal with no
questions affecting foreign interests or
relations. and is created with the pri-
mary object Of setting up local gov
ernments through the archipelago, a
purely international function.
Secretary Root welcomed the COM
mission. and in answer to their ques-
tions as to when they might expect to
receive their instructions. suggested
that they assemble again Thursday
when he expected to be able to com
municate with them further. There.
fore the commission adjourned until

entered into over twenty years ago.
Sarah Whitlock died soon after this
event, her husband, Nathan Whitlock,
surviving her.
At the trial of the case in rejecting
the defendants offer to prove the parol
partition, the Judge made the following
comment: THE foundation of the de-
fendant's claim Is the parol partition
between Nathan and Sarah Whitlock;
they held the property in entirety un-
der the title and I do not see how a
partition could be made without the.
wife complying with the atatutory
terms"
The opinion goes into an elaborate
discussion and a raft of decisions are
quoted in support Of the stand taken at
the trial.
A conveyance to husband and wife,
II Is shown, creates neither a tenancy
In common nor a joint tenancy. The
estate Of joint tenants is a unit made
up Of divisible parts; that of a hus-
band and wife is also a unit, but 1t is
made up Of indivisible parts. In the
last case, although there are two nat
ural persons, they are but one person
in law, and upon the death Of either
the survivor takes no new estate. The
loss Of an adjunct merely reduces the
legal parsonage holding the estate to
an individuality identical with the nat
| ural person.

, one turns the other out of possession
an action Of ejectment will lie against

an estate held by husband and wife,
/ and tenancy in common is therefore
to them legal impossibility.
This being the law. the judge con-
cludes. there can be no partition in
; such an estate and the foundation OF
the defendants case Is swept away.
