Great Falls, Aug. 10.-Judge Leslie has
handed down an order in the matter of
the estate of E. ]. Barker, the former
Neihart mining man who met tragic
death in an Iowa railroad wreck two
years ago, granting the request of D. L..
S. Barker, that he be allowed to turn
into court the mining stock in dispute,
which was, three years ago, when the
Big Seven mine was working, worth in
the neighborhood of 100000.
D. L. S. Barker has been the admins
traitor of the estate of his brother until
a month ago. when he resigned and the
dead mans widow was appointed.
The stock in dispute was in the name
Of Jane Barker, the mother of the dead
man, at the time of his death, and her
attorneys claimed the stock belonged to
her, while the contestants claim that
the stock had been placed in his mother
name by E. J. Barker in order that Ida
May Shadvlle. the girl who at present
| claims to hold a $4,000 will against the
estate, might not be able to find any,
thing on breach of promise suit. The

BARS WOMAN LAWYER.
Maryland Court of Appeals Decide
Against Miss Maddox.

MarylanO court OF Appeals DecIueb
Against Miss Maddox.
The Baltimore Sun of today says:
The court Of appeals at Annapolis de-
cided yesterday that a woman cannot pre- =
tice law in Maryland courts. The petition
of Miss Eta H. Maddox of Baltimore city
for permission to take the examination for
admission to the bar was rejected. Judge
McSherry delivered the opinion Of the
court. In her petition Miss Maddox sets
forth that she is female over the age Of
twenty-one years and graduate Of one
of the Baltimore law schools. She also
filed an able brief argument in. support Of
her contention.
Judge McSherry in his opinion reviewed
the whole subject. The law of Maryland
of 1888 provided, he said, that all male citi-
zens over the age Of twtnty-one should be
admitted to practice law, and that the re-
enactment of this act fn 1898 did not in
any way enlarge it in this regard, but
merely prescribed a different way for ad-
mission. The right to practice law is in
no sense an inherent right. No woman was
ever admitted to practice law in England
or in the principal courts of this country
In conclusion the court says: |
1--WE are not to be understood as dis
paraging the laudable ambition Of females
to become lawyers. 1t is for the general
assembly to declare what class Of persons
shall be admitted to the bar. We have no
power to enact legislation. The court
can only interpret what the legislature
adopts. II we shoulds say that females
are entitled to be admitted to the bar
when the legislature has not said SO We
would exceed our authority and usurp the
functions of a different and independent
department of the state government. If
the general assembly thinks at its ap-
preaching session that females ought to
be admitted to the bar it can so declare
applicant, and her request to be allowed
to stand for examination must be denied"

Poultry Becoming Cheaper
Owing to an unexpected glut of the mar
ket housekeepers have discovered that poul-
try is rapidly becoming much cheaper than
meat in this city. While the quotations for
steaks, lamb, pork and veal are going up,
the cost Of chickens turkeys, ducks and
geese is going steadily down. Thousands
of chickens turkeys, ducks and geese are
being forwarded to this city from the west,
because the cost of feed In that region is
so high that growers prefer to get rid Of
their stock at almost any price rather than
attempt to keep it through the winter.

Choice for Police Commissioners Il

Choice for Police Commissioner in
New York City.
The New York Tribune Of today says:
Unless something unforeseen takes place in
the near future. Colonel John N. Partridge
will be appointed police commissioner by
Mayor Low. This information was OBJ
tanned yesterday from men who have the
confidence of the mayor-elect. 1t was also
learned that MB. Low had SO far outlined
his policy as to decide that he would make
all his appointments from men who are
residents of the city bf New York. This
disposes of such stories as have been CROP
ping out from time to time that the place
of police commissioner 10 ight be offered to
an officer of the United States army. The
appointments will in all probability not be
made public until the middle of December.
When they are made public at that time it
will be seen, SO friends OF Mr.. Low said
yesterday, that the republican organization
will be represented to as great a degree as
Its leaders had hoped for.
The conference yesterday at the home Of
the mayor-elect between Mr.. Low and Sem
ator Platt was highly satisfactory to both
men. 1t lasted about an hour and quart
er. The senator arrived at Mr.. Lows house
a little before 9:3O o'cfockA which was the
appointed time. On leaving the house the
senator smiled pleasantly and in answer
to inquiries said: "A very enjoyable talk"

MIR. CONGER MAKES PROTEST..
VicerOy at Canton, China, Grants Con-
cessiOns to France.


LONDON, November 22.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Times says: Mr.. Con-
ger, the United States minister at Pekin
has protested against. the action Of the
viceroy at Canton in giving a concession to
a French company for an electric railway
Mr.. Conger protests on the ground that the
concession violates Minister Wu Ting
Fang's contracts with the American syndi-
cate which has the concession for a. rail-
road line to Canton.
The French minister at Pekin is bringing
pressure to bear in order to. secure the rati-
fication of the concession, arguing that
the American contract has been forfeited
by the sale of controlling amount of the
stock to Belgians..
The question, says the Times correspond
ent. is further complicated by an agreement
of Shong with German firm, which is to
provide 100000 cash and materials for the
construction of a branch line. This also
violates the American contract.
The American minister awaits instruc-
tions from Washington. The correspondent
adds that the United States government
seems apathetic.
A dispatch from Pekin says: The military
government established over the native city
OF Tien Tsin continues in effect, the mill
tary commanders refusing to yield the col
lection Of taxes to the Chinese. They
also decline to submit the question of
their control of the native city to the min
listers of the foreign powers here, holding
that a continuance Of the military govern
ment there is vital to the maintenance Of
communication between Pekin and Taku.
The ministers apparently regard the ures-
tion as within their Jurisdiction, and some
Of them are Of the opinion that it is i'm
possible under the terms OF the protocol for
foreigners to continue I'd govern Tien Tsin

The verdict was read in the court room ex-

men were locked up for deliberation There

Of Meredith, will be brought to trial, al
