DR.. E. C. MORGAN'S WILL
DECLARED TO BE VALID

The bequest of the greater part of his
estate to the Georgetown University,
made by the late DR.. E Carroll Morgan,
has been declared valid by the Supreme
Court of the District. The estate is
valued at about SIS, 900.
The validity OF the will made by Dr.
Morgan was questioned by Mrs. E. Speer,
who instituted proceedings in equity
against James Mosher and N. J. Col
bert, who were named as trustees by
the testator. Dr. Morgan directed me
trustees should hold his estate for the
benefit and use of hts two sisters. for
life. In the event of their dying with
out issue the greater part of his es-
tate should revert to the Georgetown
University
This hcquest was contested on the
ground that the corporate name of the
institution is the president and directors
Of Georgetown University and because it
was a bequest to a religious institution
made within thirty days before the
death Of the testator
The matter came up for consideration
by Justice Hagner, who held the be-
quest valid because the Georgetown Uni
versity is not a religious, but an edu-
cational institution. a beCuest made by
Or. Morgan of money for the purchase
Of bell for a church was declared to
be Invalid, on the ground that it was a
gift 10 a religious institution, made
within thirty days of the time of his
death.

ARMY OFFICER LEFT
HIS FILIPINO WIFE
Returned Home and Was
About to Marry Here.
INVESTIGATION TO BE HAD
War Department Will Punish Him if
Offense Brings Him Within Pur-
view of the Law.
INVESTIGATION TO BE HAD

The attention of the War Department
has been called officially to the case OF
an officer of the army now stationed at
Fort Leavenworth, who is alleged to
have taken himself a native Filipino girl
as a wife. while serving in the islands.
and is said to have left her there when
ordered to return to this country. The
charge IS made that he deserted her, and
is about to contract a marriage with an
American girl. The alleged Filipino wife
has come to America and is about to
take steps to assert her rights and to
prevent the intended marriage
Obstacles to Punishment.
The War Department intends to in
vestigate the case, but there are several
obstacles in the way OF Furnishing the
officer. In the first place, even if he was
married to the Filipino woman he has
committed no offense until he is mar
rted 10 the American girl, when, Of
course, he would be subject to trial by
court martial for conduct prejudicial
10 the good OF the service. IN the Sec
ond place. there is nothing before the
department TO show that the Filipino
marriage was valid or that the fact that
he may have lived with the woman con-
stituted a marriage in the Philippines,
where the common law, as it is inter-
preted in such States as New York, does,
not prevail
Marriages of Officers.
The matter of marriage is one with
which the War Department is dislnclined
to interfere, although it seeks to dis
courage the marriage of young officers
unless they have competency outside
of their army pay, and it is regulation
that no married men shall be enlisted.
In the German army, the marriage of
young officers is not permitted unless
they are able to show that they have an
income besides that received from the
government
