cot RT DISMISSES RULE.
Declines to Appoint Receiver for
Estate Of Mrs. Taylor.

Justice Bradley, III Equity Court No 2,
has dismissed the rule issued on petition
OF Charles H. ttermehie to require Leroy
NJ. Taylor and Leroy NJ Taylor, jr., to
show cause why a receiver should not be
appointed to take charge of the real es-
tate left by the late Mrs. Rose NJ. TAYLOR
who was Leroy NJ. Tayiors wife The re-
ceiYer was to have charge during the pen
dency of the contest over the estate of
George W. ttermehle, Mrs. Taylor's father
This case grows out of the contest of the
will of the late George W. Utermehle Mrs
Iaylor, who was one of his daughters and
aeNlsees under his viii, ;, died the latter pa rt
of January, leaving her estate to her hus-
band, DR.. Taylor, who afterward executed
declaration that his wife had direct ed
him to hold the estate for the benefit of
their son and grandchildren. Charles II
utermehle, grandson of George W. Uter-
mehle, who is contesting his will, applied
for the appointment of receiver for the
estate of Mrs Taylor on the ground that
his interests We're endangered by the dis
position Of her estate. The court held
that upon the presentation Of the case
that there did not appear any grounds to
justify the appointment. That it was requi-
site for the applicant to show that he had
q probable chance of ultimate success and
that the property was in danger; neither OF
these had been shown, and the application
must be denied.

Milk Food Forbidden in China,

From the New York Medical Journal
The Indian Lancet for January 2l gives
the following condensation of a proclama-
tion In the Loo Chow Herald:
Man should not rob animals of their
own proper food, and, of all animals, the
COW is the most valuable to man. The
sellers Of milk blacken their souls for gain
but those who drink milk do so in the
foolish belief that it is good for them
Before taking any medicine, we should
carefully investigate its properties, and
who does so in the case of milk? Milk is
the natural food of babes and OF young
animals, but when adults drink it do they
not thereby endanger the life Of the suck
ling calf, and arouse bitter resentment
In the souls of the calf and its mother?
Beasts have not the power of speech, and
so cannot tell men that by drinking cows S
milk they win become like quadrupeds
If men must have a strengthening draught
there are a thousand better things than
milk, why select that? Besides, the
not be prolonged by drinking milk
Every one who reads this warning is
especially enjoined to abstain from milk
in the future Children whose parents will
not allow them to drink milk will not be
stunted in growth, but will have their lives
prolonged and be immune in epidemics So
It is proclaimed in the hall of good coun-

writing to the Commissioners, under date
of March 2G, about o'clock we We're
disturbed by the noise Of at least hun
dred hogs that were resting right In front
Of our house. We were not only disturbed
by them, but they left our premises In
frightful condition. They tore up every bit
of the grass In front of our house and scat
tered it all over the sidewalk. They also
dug in a large hole under the front porch
Will you kindly attend to it that we may
have our place resodded, and that we NAV
not be troubled by these hogs In the fu-
ture? We think it would be no more than
right that the owner Of the hogs should

FRUITLEsS ERRAND.
Effort to Discuss Grievances With
Washington Traction Official.


The committee appointed by the Central
Labor Union al its meeting last evening
to call on General Manager Fuller of the
Washington Traction syndicate in refer
ence to the uniform contract and, Incl
dentally, to can his attention to other al
legged grievances of the men in the employ
of the syndicate obtained the desired in
terview this morning. The committee was
composed of Messrs. Milford Spohn, ]. H.
BabcocE and Geo ge B Squire.
Mr.. Fuller was informed by the members
of the committee that they represented the
Central Labor Union ana stated the pur-
pose Of the call. Air. Fuller refused, how
ever, to receive the committee as repre-
sentatives of any laber body. and informed
the committee that be would decline to
confer with a committee of any class of
CltlZtnS relative to the business of the
company. He. however, expressed himself
as glad to meet the members of the COM
mitteo as individuals and was willing to
talk with them upon any subject except
that pertaining to the affairs Of the syndi-
cate He further stated that the repre-
sentative of the syndicate he would not
confer with any one, ana in all matters of
the grievances of the employees he desired
to meet Them as individuals.
Replying to MIR. Fuller, Messrs. Spohn,
Babcock and Squire each had something to
say. They Informed the railway officials
that they regarded his attitude as incon-
slstent, since the employees of the road and
the Central Labor Union recognize the or
ganiZation of stockholders known as the
Washington Traction syndicate, and only
ask that he CMr. Fuller as the representa-
tive OF the company, recognize the repre-
sentatlNes of an organization of employees.
Mr.. Fuller it is stated, persistently re-
fused to confer with the committee in it's
official capacity and referred the members
to President McDermott and Vice Presi-
dent Harries.
To this a member of the committee re-
piled that several committees had recently
called on Vice President Harries in regard
to various matters, and the vice president
mad invariably referred them to Mr. Full
Ter, and that so far no one had been seen
who would assume responsibility as an
omcIal. With this experience, it was de-
clared, it had become a question as to
whether or not the Washington Traction
syndicate has an actual existence.
AT the close of the interview a member
or the committee stated to a Star reporter
that just as they We're about to leave Mr.
Fuller stated that the contract has been
awarded to the Baltimore firm, but that it
was really the continuation of the former
contract.

clerk who disappeared from here week
ago, was in Norfolk, Va. yesterday. He
wrote letter to his wife, which she re-
ceived this morning. 1t was a short mis-
sive and it's character caused Mrs. Wilbur

1t appears that Mrs Wilbur was vacci-
mated some time ago. and in the letter her

very much worried about her husbands s
condition. and because of her anxiety In
spector Boardman telegraphed the Norfolk

suggesting also that the young man is
probably demented and asking that he be
treated kindly in event of his being found.

Under Conditions Stated There is No

Mr.. Robert Murphy recently wrote the
District Commissioners that he is whole
sale dealer in wood in this city; that he
cuts wood on his own farm and buys
from others in Maryland and Virginia, and
brings it here on his own vessels and has
it landed on his own wharves; that 1t is
sawed and split before any Of it is sold,
and that he pays to have 1t corded and
measured before it is brought here. He
therefore claimed that he should not be
put to the needless expense, or unnecessary
delay of having the wood measured here.
The Commissioners referred the matter
to their attorney. Mr.. A. B. Duvall, who
today advised them that the laws In force
have the wood measured before he sells it.
In a like that submitted by Mr.. Muir
ply however, where there is no sale of
