L~EGALBATTLE UNDER WAY
THE LATE MASON j. OsGOOD'S Es.
TATE THE FAT PRIZE.
Indiana Adoption Law Questioned I'm
u CrOss-CompIaint-Other
Court Cases.

Charles w. Osgood, nephew of the late
Mason j. Osgood, yesterday filed a cross
complaint in the suit of Ida Osgood Stanley
against the cross-complaint n Roxana o.
Minis to quiet title to the Osgood estate, to
which she is the adopted heir. He AYERS
that Ida Osgood Stanley, the adopted
no interest in the estate, and hat he is
entitled to one-half interest and Roxana
o. Minis to the other one-half. He says
Mrs. Stanley has had possession of the
property since December. 1900. and that he
has been damaged to the extent of &c. 600
thereby and that the emoluments from the
estate nave been SIS, 600, and he asks judg-
ment for sS5.0oo against the plaintiff, in adj
dition to a one-half interest in the estate.
Roxana o. Minis filed a motion asking
that parts OF the complaint alluding to
Mrs. stanley's adoption be stricken out as
immaterial. on the ground that Indiana has
no valid adoption law. The motion says
the adoption law of the State is void be-
cause Ii Is unconstitutional n In contra
vention of the fourteenth amendment Of
the Constitution of the United States,
which provides that no person shall be de-
prived of property without due process of
law. The point of contention that is raised
declaring the Indiana adoption law TO be
unconstitutional, If carried through sue
cessfully. will put a new phase on all cases
in the State that are pending wherein
adoptions figure.
The case will be one of the hardest fought
legal battles in the courts of Marion coun-
ty, and no matter which way the decision
goes it will likely be carried to the higher
courts. The cross-complaint was filed by
Ayres, Jones & Hollett and Harvey, Pick
ems, Cox & Kahn. Mrs. Stanley is repre-
scented by A.. c. Harris and Wilson &
ToWnley.

Instructions to Mclean,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Secretary
Moody to-day sent the following cable
gram to Commander clean at Colon:
United States guarantees perfect neutral
ity of the isthmus and that a free transit
from sea TO sea be not interrupted or en-
barrassed. United States Of Colombia guar
antees right of way for transit across
isthmus open and free to government and
citizens of the United States and their
property. Any transportation of troops
which might contravene these provisions
of treaty should not be sanctioned by you,
nor should use Of road be permitted which
might convert the line of transit into thea
ter of hostility. Any transportation of
government troops, net in violation of
treaty and which would not endanger
transit or provoke hostilities may not be
Objectionable. The department must rely
on your judgment TO decide such questions
as conditions may change from day to
day. Consult the department freely when
in doubt"
1t was stated at the Navy Department
that nothing has developed In the isthmian
situation up to this time to make neces-
sary the presence of the additional 600
marines who are to be assembled at Nor
folk, but the state of affairs along the
railroad is regarded as making advisable
the preparation of the reinforcements for
immediate dispatch to the scene. Secre-
tary Moody and acting Secretary of State
Adee mad a long conference to-day in re-
gard to the situation on the isthmus.

MARINES AND WARSHIPS
NAVAL FORCE AT COLON To BE RE-
INFORCED IF NECESSARY.
Commander Mclean VIII Have $50
More Blue acket i'm a Few Days
900 to Be In Readiness.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Secretary
Moody has finally decided to augment the
United States naval forces on the isthmus
by the addition of coo marines, if Com
mander McLean's advices indicate that
these are needed. He has given orders to
Commander Pillsbury, of the United States
steamship Prairie, now at Boston, to pro-
coed with his ship to Norfolk. At that
point 600 marines will be gathered ready TO
take ship when Secretary Moody's advices
indicate the necessity for their presence on
the isthmus. Norfolk is the most available
point for the congregation of marine force,
as. in addition to its southern location. 1t
has excellent camping grounds for marines.
The Panther should arrive at Colon with
in a day or two with $50 marines aboard,
so that with the P~rairie's men and the
marines on the Cincinnati, who are already
ashore at Colon. the United States will
have what is regarded as an ample force to
carry out it's treaty obligations of maintain
ing free traffic across the isthmus.
Orders were also sent forward to-day to
the San Francisco, now at Norfolk, to coal
and provision and proceed to San Juan,
| Porto Rico, there TO await any emergency
which may arise. There is only one United
little gunboat Marietta, and the Montgom-
cry is due to arrive shortly at Cape Haitien.
The object of the department in sending
down the San Francisco, it is stated, is to
have a vessel ready to meet a call for re-
Enforcement either in Venezuela, Haiti or
the isthmus. The duty assigned the San
Francisco should not be confused with that
given to the gunboat Bancroft. That ves-
sci will probably not be able to go into
commission until Oct. !, and will then also
| proceed to San Juan to be station ship. IL
is expected that the San Francisco will get
away in three or four days.

GALLANT ARMY OFFICER.
Special Recommendations in Behalf
of Lieut.. Kenneth p. williams.

WASHINGTON, Sept. @.-Lieut. Ken
meth p. Williams, First Infantry, has been
recommended by General Chaffee for a
congressional medal of honor for his skill
and bravery In leading the relief expedi-
ton to the rescue of the marine detach-
ment which completed the now famous
march across the island of Samar. Lieu
tenant Williams's report. together with a
communication from General Chaffee, in
closing two very complimentary letters
from Rear Admiral Rogers and Commander
William Swift, at the time commanding
the Yorktown, have reached the War De-
partment. A noteworthy portion of Gen.
eral Chaffee's letter reads:
No again in your military career, nor
in that of the men accompanying you on
this arduous undertaking, will conditions
tunity of rendering such unheard-of and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS services TO your
country, which entities you to greater
thanks and TO the Nations gratitude"
Rear admiral Rogers's letter states that
the marine detachment would u~ndoubted-
ly have persisted TO a man had ii not been
for the interchangeable exertions of Lieut..
Kenneth p. Williams"
Commander Swift says: HE deserves
the highest praise for his twenty-five-mile
struggle against the current and rapids
of a river which was not only dangerous,
but almost impracticable."
In addition, General Smith, who COM
manded the Sixth separate brigade, has
recommended thai Lieutenant Williams be
brevetted for gallantry shown under fire at
various stages OF the expedition.

happy woman's makeup.
The committee In general charge of the
undertaking is headed by Mrs. Louise
Schott. The other members are Isaac
Greensfelder, Mrs. Carson Myers and Mrs.
Alfred Kohn.
en- whose poverty. and helplessness are
known to Superintendent Edward Rubo-
Wits, of the United Hebrew Charities. They
come at 8 o'clock in the morning and leave
at I in the afternoon. These hours allow
them to complete all their household work
before leaving home. and to return in time
TO prepare the evening meal. The tasks
given them are not hard, and in payment
each receives 10 cents a day.
The only drawback to the workroom Is
that Ii can accommodate no more than fifty
women at a time. The committee must,
therefore, perform its duties on principles
of scientific charity and according to the
means at its disposal. 1t cannot be generous.
Ii can only be just. In commenting on this
Superintendent Rubovits says:
Our applicants appear in a different at
titude from that adopted by those VINO pc
tition non-Jewish charitable institutions.
They demand. where others ask. III Is true
that our donors were more liberal. The
peculiarities may have their origin in that
maxim of the Bible: For the poor shall
never cease out of the land. And. there
fore, the liberafity, or the one hand. is
greater, and the demands from our people
on the other hand, are more persistent.

This Is done for the purpose OF learning the
history OF the case and 10 ascertain the
causes that prompted the person to ask for
assistance, and also TO enable the members
Of the committee to form an opinion as TO
what extent aid should be furnished. Such
Investigations frequently lead to detection
of intended fraud, sometimes TO unworthi-
ness.
ION this latter point / wish TO say that
the women who are taken into the work.
room are ali respectable and upright NOR
ally.
I'VE do not. as a rule. undertake our in
yestigations with the preconceived idea that
we shall discover it's object TO be unworthy.
When we do discover IL 10 be such, II Is
quite accidental and very disappointing. In
that case, OF course. the applicant is refused
aid. When We have cause merely to sus-
peet that something is wrong. we give the
woman the benefit OF the doubt until some
thing further develops"
Every worthy case is taken up promptly,
and all possible assistance Is granted"
The work furnished is chiefly that Of
making mems neckties for the wholesale
establishments. The big manufacturers fur

Unions PerpIexing Problem.

Central Labor Union tomorrow night
will have two perplexing problems to settle.
One will be over the admittance of the
Electrotypers' Union to the central body.
The union withdrew from the Topographic
cal Union, and as it has not been granted
autonomy 1t holds no charter from the
American Federation of Labor, and hence
Is not entitled TO representation in the CEN
trail body. Many delegates are i'm favor OF
body has To withdraw from the American
Federation of Labor, The other question
affects the Laundry Workers Union. There
are two toilet supply firms in the city. One
has its own laundry and Is unionized. The
other firm has no laundry and complains
that the union laundries do not care for its
class of work and IL cannot get its work
done by union laundry workers. AS the
fight seems to be between two business
firms the union is not disposed TO take up
the matter. and Central Labor Union may
let them fight IL out
