GILMAN CASE IS
 BEFORE COURT
Question as to Which State Has Jurisdiction in
 the Matter

Bridgeport, Conn.,. March 15-A confer ence has been held between State Treas urer Gallup and Attorney General Phelps in regard to the course of the action of the State on the hearing Monday next on the estate of George F. Gilman. MT. Phelps declined to state his decision, say ing that In general his position is the same as the Plant will case, in which MT Phelps claimed Jurisdiction for Con- necticut
 Treasurer Gallup, in an interview, said that the State would be represented at the Gilman hearing. and that it would contend for it's right to Jurisdiction, re- sorting to every point in Connecticut law to protect it's interests In the payment of the inheritance tax law. The burden of proof of alleged New York residence of the deceased, MT. Gallup said, would be | thrown on the heirs of half-blood, to whose interest 1t was to take the litiga- 1 ton into New York, and he further stated that he was confident that fnfor- nation was in the hands of the Attorney | General to establish MT. Gillmans resi- | dence in Connecticut Asked what enect the alleged agreement of the heirs would have on the situation, MT. Gallup said | emphatically that such an agreement
 would have no effect but that the admin | istration of the estate must proceed In the usual manner irrespective of agree ments until the claim of the State had | been paid.

 Denounce Judge WHITE MEN SENT TO JAIL Three Men Charged With Lynching Knox, the Canadian, are Commit
 ted To Jail-Taken to
 Supreme Court.

Scranton, Miss, March 15.-(Special.)- The citizens of Scranton and vicinity are highly indignant over what they consid- CT the arbitrary action of Judge Wood in committing for trial Ashcraft, Rolls and Seymour on the charge of lynching John Knox last month. Rolls was the only one admitted to bail, and his ten thou sand was forthcoming within ten minutes of the judgment. The other eight were acquitted. A mass meeting of citizens of Scranton and Moss Point is billed for to- morrow at which the presiding judge will be denounced
 Ashcraft's friends have $50,OO0 to bond him and were wild at the removal to a distant jail Attorney Woods for defense left for Jackson tonight, where he will institute habeas corpus proceedings on behalf of the prisoners before the Su- preme Court.
 Larsen, the sensational star witness, who knew nothing. was put under and made a heavy witness bond.

FOOD AND WISDOM. Brain Workers Learn the Secret.

Ambitious students who study hard ano try their best to gain an education, re ouently give down under the pressure and are greatly disappointed when they find they cannot carry out the cherlsheo desire of their life.
 This result is nearly always caused by the lack of the right kind of food to make up the waste caused by excessive brain work.
 The average student does not know how to select the right kind of food, but a food expert has been at work and has produced a food especially intended to nourish and rebuild the brain and the nerve centers throughout the body. This food is known as Grape-Nuts.
 A student, Rosa Scott of Kenoma, Mo-, says: q was very ambitious to succeed at school, and started under favorable cir cumstances with good health and used what is generally supposed to be good, substantial articles of food. such as meat, vegetables, etc.
 "I worked hard and soon became trou- bled with distress in my stomach. l no- tced confusion of thought and inability to memorize I found it almost impos- sible to study in the condition l was in, and resorted to medicine, but that did l seemed to grow worse. I was in de- spair until one day a friend, who had passed through a similar experience, told me to stop using medicine, and in place of ordinary food use Grape-Nuts Food. He said 1t contained certain elements necessary to rebuild the worn out tissues of both body and brain, and positively assured me that if I would use the food, I would get well and ha ahla tn oo op with my work.
 Tt seemed too good to be true, and I at once began the use of Grape Nuts Food with an egg for breakfast. For the mid day meal I used four heaping teaspoon fuls with some cream or milk and noth- ing else. Then for the evening meal I used Grape-Nuts and fruit. Right from the beginning my sufferings were not so great, and gradually my strength return ed. and I could see that my brain was regaining it's former activity.
 ''These favorable symptoms continued until l was entirely relieved from my trouble, and am now stronger than I ever was before. Can study ten or twelve hours a day with results that I feel are a credit to myself.
 T would like to have students all over the world know of the powerful proper ties contained in Grape Nuts Food as compared with any ordinary diet"
 This sort of experience teaches plainly the fact that there is everything in the selection of food if one desires to work hard and make a success in this world There is probably no food known that |. as perfect for the rebuilding of the body and brain as Grape-Nuts.

| TIE FRENCH DUEL
 IS DECLARED OFF
Police Prevented the Meeting
 of the Contestants
SEC0NDSISSUE STATEMEN I
It Was Decided That Honor Had Been Maintained and De Roulede and Andre Buffet Depart in Peace
 Accompanied by Detectives.

Lausanne, Switzerland. March 15.-The duel which had been arranged to take place today between M. Paul de Roudede and M. Andre Buffet, growing out of the controversy over the action of the Royal ists at the time of the coup d etat planned by M. de Roulede and M Marcel-Habert on the occasion of the funeral of the late President Faure of France in 1899, has been abandoned In consequence of the authorities having issued a decree expell- Ing both the would-be combatants from Switzerland.
 The seconds thereupon decided that 1t was impossible to avoid police interveE- ton, and as the origin of the quarrel was political, the honor of the principals was not concerned
 Detectives shadowed NM. Buffet and le Roulede and their seconds throughout last evening not leaving them for an instant. A meeting of the seconds was held at midnight and they drew up the following declaration:
 Tn conformity with our statement of March IS, the four seconds met at Laus- anne, after taking the most minute pre- cautions to secure secrecy in the meeting of the two exiles. All arrangements were made for the adversaries to face one another Friday morning when a dou- ble decree of expulsion was communicated to them under threat of arrest. The hotel where we are staying Is surrounded and we are obliged to recognize the fact that, henceforth, wherever we might try to meet, we shall find some impedimenns. "The duel was originally exclusively political and put In antagonism the Ple- biscitary Republican M. Paul DeRoulede and the Royalist, M. Andre Buffet, who were thereby brought to the field of hon or to affirm their political divergences. Under these material and moral condi- tions, and in the presence of force ma jesure, adjuge their honor sustained and declare the matter closed.
 DE CASSAGNIC,
 "DE RAMEL,
 "BARRES,
 "DEVILLERS. The decree ordered the duelists and their seconds to leave Saliss Territory be- fore o'clock Friday morning.
 M De Roulede and his party left here for Milan and NJ Buffet and his friends started for Basic this morning, accom- panied by detectives.
 M deRoulede expressed to his seconds in strong terms his discontent with the issue. In an interview he declared that he had been placed in a false position He said he desired to exchange bullets with the royalists, and it was deplorable that the duel had not taken place.
 Before leaving he had lively dispute with the chief of the detective staff, who threatened to arrest him for remaining beyond the limit fixed in the writ of eX- pulsion.
 M Buffet declined to discuss the terms of the declaration made by the seconds, but said:
 q guarantee that the Royalist party will not remain compromised by M. de- Doulede's statement. I shall be unable to keen silence"

STATE SENATORS
 CAME TO BLOWS
Fight on the Floor of Washing ington Senate Chamber
 Over a Vote

Olympia, Wash. March 15.-Represen- tative Esterday of Pierce County and Senator Ruth of Thurston County came to blows on the floor of the Senate to- day. The trouble arose over the vote In favor of postponing the bill to repeal the present libel laws of the State.
 Representative Esterday was on the Senate floor and as soon as he saw that the bill was beaten he walked over to Ruth and called the latter a liar and ac- cused him of promising to support the bill. Ruth retorted sharply and Ester day struck him.
 The widest excitement prevailed and 1t looked as though the session would wind up in a disgraceful scene.
 Senator Baker of Klickakat relieved the situation by moving an adjournment un- til evening The motion was carried.
 The defeat of the libel bill law Is a vic- tory for the newspapers of the State.
