Petition to Change Company Name
Court House News.


The Woods will case will not be
tried again.
After several years of litigation the
heirs have settled the differences
which have ben so bitterly contested
The action has been heard twice In
court. Both tines the jury failed to
agree on the question Of the validity
of the bankers will.
For several weeks, the attorneys
representing interested parties have
been holding conferences in an effort
to make an equitable adjustment of
the case. All the heirs, with the ex-
ception of those In Pennsylvania have
agreed to the terms of settlement. 1t
is not believed that they will raise any
objection to the arrangement.
This bns been the most expensive
litigation in the Summit county courts
in recent years In which private par
ties only were concerned. Many wit
nesses were examined at both trials
and n large number of lawyers were
engaged on both sides.

READY TO WITHDRAW.
Gen. Chafree Awaiting Final Instruc-
tions to Quit Peking.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12-The question
of withdrawing the American troops at
once from Peking is now before the Pres
ident and speedy decision is expected and
required. There are differences among
officials in Pekins on this subject and the
issue is for the President to decide. The
action of the French government, as re-
ported by cable dispatches. I'm joining Rus
sa in orders for the withdrawal of troops,
has brought about the contingency touched
upon in the reply TO Russia in the follow
ing language:
THE result of these considerations is that
unless there is such a general expression
by the powers i'm favor of continued occu-
patton as TO modify the views expressed by
the government of Russia and lead to a
general agreement for continued occupation
we shall give instructions to the command
er of the American forces in China to with
draw our troops from Peking after confer
ence with the other commanders as to the
time and manner of withdrawal"
General Chaffee was made acquainted
with the attitude of the government and
was directed to hold himself in readiness
TO withdraw his troops. Undoubtedly he
has conferred with the other commanders
as to the time and manner of withdrawal,
according 10 the terms of the note. The
sending of further supplies TO him has been
stopped and he now awaits but the signal
from Washington to begin his movement.
1t is for the President to give the signal.
The considerations now before him In favor
OF immediate withdrawal. are. first. the
fact that he is already committed in a
measure to such course by the above
quoted language in reply TO the Russian
note Second. 1t is represented that China
