One OF the grounds relied on by the
plaintiff In her petition was the wrong
ful admission OF certain testimony. The
action was brought by the plaintiff, who
is the widow OF Gottlieb Koib, for the
benefit OF herself and her three minor
children, living at the time of his de-
cease, and all OF whom were living when
this action was begun which was nearly
two years after his death.
AT the trial OF the case the plaintiff
was called as a witness for the purpose.
among other things OF proving her
marriage. her qualification as admins
tratrix and who. as benefciaries I'm this
action, were entitled 20 the damages, II
any, which could be recovered for the
death of her husband.
FORCED TO ADMIT.
The presiding Justice I'm the court below
ruled that IL would be proper 20 show that
plaintiff had been guilty OF improper con-
duct since her husbands death.
IL was shown she had had an illegiti-
Mate child the brother OF her husband
q months after the husbands death and
she was forced 20 admit the fact.
This testimony was duly objected TO by
the plaintiffs counsel and the court
thinks the question OF whe IL was
wrongfully admitted must be decided in
favor OF plaintiff. The question of wheth-
er or not the plaintiff gave birth TO an IL
child was entirely irrelevant

court thinks.
Defendants counsel In support OF tho
ruling In the lower court, said a witness
might be interrogated or cross-examlned

Secretary Hunt so Reports Con-
ditIonS In Porto Rico.

New York. June s.-w. III. Hunt. secre-
tary OF Porto Rico. arrived here today on
the steamer Ponce from Porto Rico. Mr.
Hunt said that conflicting reports OF the
decisions in the Porto Rican cases made
IL somewhat uncertain as 10 what were
the true results when he left Porto Rico.
Under the decisions, however, he believ-
ed Il would not be many months before
free trade with Porto Rico would ensue.
He said that when the new revenue law
went into operation after July the gov
ernment OF the island with duties collect
ed in foreign importations and with ex-
else taxes would have enough to main
tain itself.
Conditions I'm Porto Rico were improv-
ing and hopeful. The people he said are
adapting themselves 20 the changed gov
ernment and are looking forward TO grad
ual Improvement.

on by the defendant, the contrary view
is Overwhelmingly sustained by the au-

directly impeached only by showing that

SUPREME
COURT May
DECIDE
Whether Co. {, f. |. |. l., Is
Part Of The Militia or Only
a Social Organization.

Company r that was formed by Col
Frank r olney during the Spanish war
finds itself just az present out in the cold,
but IL is possible that arrangements will
be made 10 have it's members sit by the
side OF the military camp fire and warm
their shins as all other members of the
militia do.
The company is made up OF veterans OF
the First Light Infantry. which, as well
as the brigade, was pretty well broken
up, as many OF It's younger members went
10 the war. COL Olney with his usual
spirit at once formed Company Il TO keep
the organization whole.
Some %. years ago the state militia
was recognized and the First Light In
fantry which is among the oldest organ
cations in the state agreed 10 become n
part and parcel OF the brigade providing
however, that they should lose none OF
the rights granted them by the state
and they have had no reasons to complain
since then. and no question has ever
arisen until now. and this is due TO the
fact that Company Il has received and
accepted an invitation 10 take part in
