Sort of Jarndyce VS.. Jarndyce Case
By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 2.-The celebrated
Kansas Insurance case which grew out
of the alleged death of John w. Hilimon
in that State in 1879 was today sent back
to the trial court for the sixth trial
Hillmon's life was insured in the Con-
necticut Mutual Life Insurance Company
for $4,000, and when his death was re-
ported the payment of the policy was
resisted on the ground that he entered
into a conspiracy with others to disap-
pear have the report circulated that he
was dead, then substitute the corpse Of
another man and claim payment on the
policy. Hillmon disappeared while trav-
elling on the plains with a man named
Brown, who swore that he had been kill
ed by the accidental discharge of a gun.
The case has been in the courts ever
since. The circuit court of appeals for
the eighth circuit at the last hearing de-
cided the case in favor of the claim of
the widow of the insured man, but the
Supreme Court reversed the opinion on
the ground of errors in the trial. The
opinion was delivered by Justice Brown,
Justices Brewer and White dissenting

A ROAST FOR JAY PEE
Warm Seats are Given Him
and Others on the
GridirOn.
(By the Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 31.-The annual din
ner of the Gridiron Club tonight was an
other record breaker in the way OF I'M
ique entertainments, and the Washington
correspondents who compose the famous
organization again demonstrated that
everything under the sun Cor on the grid
from was new; that there was a humor-
Gus side to all current events; and that
toasts and roasts may be combined for
an evenings entertainment.
The Inauguration of the new president
of the club, Mr.. William f. Curtis, ar
forded an opportunity for reverting to
the part Mr.. Curtis took in securing the
attendance of Spanish grandees for the
Worlds Fair at Chicago. The pomp and
ceremony of the Spanish court of 1902
mingled with goth century ideas and
events made it a snowy and laughable
affair. One of the questions propounded
to Columbus was. What is trust" to
which he answered.
"a bunch of money surrounded by wa
ter"
Mr. j. Pierpont Morgan, one of tie
guests of the club was made the subject
of quite the burlesque of the evening. For
the alleged benefit of the New York
fnanciers the Gridiron Club installed a
bucket shop" as an adjunct to Mr., Nor
gan's office. The manager and "chair
warmers" kept up a lively fire of Qucs-
tons and answers, in which various
guests were placed upon the Gridiron.
The discussion of available presidential
candidates was a feature of this part Of
the entertainment. The burlesque con-
cluded with a song dedicated to Mr.. Nor
gan.
The experiments which DR.. Wiley OF
the Agricultural Department, is making
with boraX as a preserVative afforded an
other vehicle to give number of prOmi-
nent guests a gridroning. 1t was charged
that Dr. Wiley was conducting an expert
ment at the dinner and two members Of
the club, personating DR.. Wiley and his
assistant, showed the effect of borax on
the brain. A poison squad was
brought out and the stethescope and X
vellous things they were found to be
thinking about, rs told by the operators,
created great amusement.
The initiating OF Mr. Joseph X. Oil, OF
the Atlanta Constitution and Mr.. John
p. Miller of the Baltimore Sun. who were
caused to personate leaders of the Lilly
whites" and BLACKS and tans" respcc-
lively, and the witty references to recent
Southern opponents made distinct hit
There were other skts and topical
songs and choruses and several good
speeches, all crowding the evening with
wit and humor from beginning to end.
