NIL OF DANIEL P. ERWIN
FRIENDLY SUIT TO SECURE A LEGAL
CONSTRUCTION OF 1T.
There Was n Second viii, Which Mr..
Erwin's Death Kept Him from
signing-Other Court News.

A friendly suit for a construction OF the
will of the late Daniel p. Erwin will be
filed in the Circuit Court by the bene-
ficiaries OF the instrument. Yesterday Fer
dinand Winter, representing the Central
Trust Company, filed a petition with Pro-
bate Commissioner Walker in which the
necessity for an Interpretation of the mean
ing Of several clauses of the will and the
clearing up Of several uncertainties in 1t
was asked. The will originally filed, and
which names the Central Trust Company
as trustee OF the various trusts created By
II, Is vague In several parts because OF the
intention OF ID. p. Erwin to modify II be-
fore his death. The will was drafted by
Ferdinand Winter. who was also delegated
to prepare a second will, which he prepared
Tor the signature of Mr.. Erwin but neg
lected through inadvertence for several
days to submit to him for signing. During
the time, and. In fact on the morning that
Mr.. Erwin was reported dead, Mr.. Winter
intended TO submit the will TO him TO be
signed.
The uncertain part Of the will is in
clause which provides that all unimproved
property or the estate shall be sold and
the money realized from the sale applied to
the mortgaged Indebtedness of the Denson
Hotel Company, part OF the estate. An
9tner clause provided that none OF the
win was TO be sold, and theoretically this
Is taken to mean the Erwin block in Terre
Haute, although there is other property in
Terre Haute which Is unimproved and
thought by the trustee TO be included in
the property which Mr. Erwin wanted dis
posed Of. Another part Of the will ques-
toned arises from the sale of the Erwin
homestead on North Meridian street TO
Charles L. Henry. The money-$45 OO0-is
now in the hands of the trustee, and IL is
undecided how Ii shall be applied, whether
to the mortgages on the property or in the
Improvement of other property.
The matter in most doubt is a clause
which provides for the existence of the
trust for thirty years, or until the death OF
the longest lived Of the children OF the
testator, including his posthumous Child
Daniel p. Erwin, jr.
In order that the will might be construed
by Judge Allen, Commissioner Walker
granted the permission of the guardian of
Daniel L. Erwin. jr., TO agree 10 the Ming
of the suit. which was decided on by the
other Eeirs, Charles II. Erwin, Hannah
Lockard Townley, Louise Erwin Coburn
and Helen L. Coburn.
The death of Mrs. pemia Townley Erwin
Is mentioned in the petition which was
filed, and I'm IL the statement that the $500
annuity provided for her in the will will, in
pursuance to the directions of Mr.. Erwin,
revert to the trust for Daniel p. Erwin, jr.
The little boy is provided with an income
of 500 a month until he shall have reached
the age OF fourteen years, and with 500 a
month until he attains his majority. AT
that time he will share with the other
heirs In the division of the property.

creenca..re council Middle.

The brief of the State in the Greencastle
Council case was filed yesterday. Last May
tho Council was tie politically. Then
John H. James, Democrat. was elected
mayor to succeed Jonathan Birch. Repub-
Hcan. and the Republicans found them
selves confronted with the danger of losing
control OF the Council. One night they in
troduced an ordinance creating new ward,
rushed IL through, and IL was signed by
Mayor Birch. Frank l.. Landes and HUI
bert NJ. Jordan were appointed councilmen
from the new ward before Mayor Birchs
term expired. The brief OF the State holds
that the ordinance was irregular In that
IL was not attested and signed by the clerk
before being signed by the mayor; also
that the consent OF two-thirds of the MEM
bers was not obtained in suspending the
rules and passing the ordinance. The brief
contends that the will of the people is de-
feated IL councils shall have the right of
creating wards and appointing councilmen
at pleasure.

dom Labor Under Difficulties.
japanese is pOlysyllabic, and
each syllable ends always in a
vowel sound. Thus but five
rhymes are possible in Japanese;
while in Chinese they are infinite
ly varied and are enriched, we are
told, by a complicated system of
intOnatiOn. As rhyme is the first
essential of Chinese poetry, the
Japanese poet with his FIVE
rhymes, who would follow its
rules, is sadly hampered. The
second essential information,
writes Elizabeth Baleh, in Poet.
Lore, is also impossible in Japan
ese, where each syllable has the
same value and bears the same
stress, except when elided in the
carelessness of daily speech. We
have seen that in Japanese poetry
there is, as Mr.. Chamberlain tells
US, neither rhyme, tone, accent,
quantity nor ALTERATION, nor
does its rather frequent parallel
ism follow any regular method"
1t differs from prose in literally
nothing but the alienation OF
lines Of five and seven syllables,
with often an extra line of seven
syllables at the end. 1t was the
special genius of the Japanese
for perfecting details, for making
the most Of slight means, which
made it possible for anything
either vital or beautiful to devel
op within such narrow limita

else in their art, is reduced to thu
simplest expression. When thu

it ordinarily, we are told, includes

NATURAL GAS IN ENGLAND.
Country Has Just Discovered She Has
q Good Supply.

a Good Supply.
Although England has been
working her coal deposits for cen
turtles, she has only recently
awakened to the fact that she has
a supply of natural gas. What
seems to have been the first dis
cOyery of the latter product was
made in East Sussex in 1875, and
the second occurred 20 years lat
err. On the first occasion a hole
had been sunk for temperature
experiments, and the appearance
of gas was looked upon only as a
trivial incident. The second OBJ
servatiOn was made by a work
man employed in sinking an ar.
tesian well; but he probably did
not report the fact to his employ
ers for some time. The third dis
coyery, in 1896, by railway hands
engaged in seeking a water supply
for locomotives, led to practical
results. No water was obtained,
but a cap was put on the pipe al
ready in the hole, and the railway
station has since been lighted
with the gas. subsequently a gas
engine, developing one and a half
horse power, and used for pump
ing, was installed near by.
The operations just recorded al
Heathfeld led to the formation
of a company to explore the ad
jacent region. Within the last
five or six years several holes
have been bored. Some of the ex
perts who have watched the wOrl
predict a greater development
there than has occurred in tn,
United States. The pressure a
some wells is enough to carry tn,
gas to distant cities, and the ligh
obtained is 20 per cent. bette
than that Of artificial coal gas
One Of the effects Of the revolt
ton will probably be to draw nev
industries to the vicinity O
Heathfeld. Iron mills and glas
factories may be establishe
there if the supply holds out.

H A SQUIRREL FAILS
Fills Its Lungs and BOunees Like a
Rubber Ball.

RlppSl hAA-
speaking of squirrels, did You
ever see one fall out of the top Of
a hickory nut tree?" asked the old
hunter of a New Orleans Times
Democrat reporter. well, if you
haven't you have missed a sight
worth seeing. The rubber ball is
not in it when it comes TO bounc-
ing. l have seen squirrels bounce
four or five feet where they
hit the ground after a long
fall, and it was not necessary
for the ground TO be in a
particularly favorable condition
at that. The squirrel is just
simply a good bOuncer. OF course
these falls are altogether acci-
dental. Generally it requires
something to Startle the squirrel,
something to throw the animal
off its balance. frequently the
cracking of leaves under the hunt
er's feet, or the sudden swapping
Of a dry limb, or something Of
that kind. Sometimes 3 quick and
unexpected report Ot 4 gun in the
neighbOrhOOd viii cause the
squirrels foot 10 slip IL I may
say it, and he Will 20 whirling
through the air To the ground,
ButallthiS is rot the point have
in mind In Sonae way during the
fall the squirrel manages 10 pump
its lungs full u wind and when
the animal hits the ground he Is
rolled up in the shape az a hall,
and viii rebound as If made 0f
rubber How does the squirrel
manage 10 gather the wind dur
ing the fall9 What kind az lungs
must a squirrel have in order to
accommodate the necessary
amount OF air 10 enable him To
rebound And how does be sue
ceed in regaining his balance af-
ter rebOunding9 He always lights
on his feet, and hits the ground
running the second time. 1t is a
curious thing, and | have often
wondered how these interesting
creatures manage TO work the
plan so successfully without in
jury to themselves"
