CORONER INVESTIGATES
Death OF Maple Plain Girl Said to Have
Been Due to Neg ...

Coroner U. G. Williams is Investigate
ing the circumstances of the death of
Miss Viola Battdorf, 16year- old girl of
Maple Plain, who died without medical
attendance in giving birth to a child. Her
friends say that DR.. B. v. Lores was
summoned to attend her, but refused to
go. Coroner Williams heard DR.. Lores'
explanation and is sure that there is no
ground for proceeding against him.
To the coroner, it appears that the
Battdorf girl was being cared for by a
midwife. Her condition became serious
and DR.. Lores was called, but could not
come. DR.. Mitchell of Mound City was
telephoned for but he was away. DR..
O'Connor of Delano was sent for but the
girl was dead before he arrived. DR..
Lores says he declined to attend the girl
because he was busy but also limited that
the family had slandered him and he did
not care to attend any of them. Further
he intimates that there were unpaid bills.

WANT OF HOSPITALITY"
Archdeacon Fortin's Defense
Winnipeg.
Special to The Journal.

Winnipeg. Man, July 1.-The first
business before the closing session of the
Anglican synod last evening was, the
consideration of the clause in the arch
bishops address dealing with the pro-
posed new canon for the removal of I'M
desirable incumbents.
Another important point raised was the
want of hospitality alleged to have been
shown by Winnipeg churchmen, and
some trouble the delegates had in secur-
ing accommodations while here In re-
ply to these complaints Archdeacon Forth
said that the want Of hospitality was due
to the want of courtesy on the part OF
delegates to their hosts and the con-
gested state of the city.

ADVERTISING A COUNTRY.

What advertising is doing for oregon
appears in the following excerpt from
the Oregonian.
Every train that reaches Portland is
bringing in large numbers of home
seekers. Especially from the middle
West are the numbers seeking new
homes on the Coast becoming larger,
and II is expected that when the trains
that left the East this week with home
seekers aboard arrive at the terminus
Of the different lines they will have
larger crowd aboard. April 81 was one
of the two April dates upon which
round "trip homeseekers' tickets were
sold, and though the local offices have
not been advised of the number that
left Chicago and st. Paul, 1t is believed
from earlier advices that the movement
Westward is unusually large. The next
date upon which these tickets will be
sold is May 8.
AS an instance of the big rush OF
homeseekers this spring. Superintend-
ent Field, of the Southern Pacific,
brought back with him, when he re-
turned from his Southern trip, story
of a small town in Southern oregon
where 1873 persons had settled since the
first of the year. This proportion OF
newcomers will not be maintained
throughout the state or the Northwest,
but 1t indicates that the movement Is
even greater than the railroad men
themselves expected.
Railroad men, as result of the
heavy immigration and the number of
tourist visitors to Portland and all parts
of Oregon, are deeply interested in the
talk of new hotels In this city, and In
sist that movement towards the erec-
ton of such buildings is imperative.
They declare the increased passenger
traffic Is seriously taxing hotel accom-
everywhere, and it is only a
matter of a short time before Portland
will absolutely require new hotels. For
that reason they are anxious that some
thing be done Immediately.
When Hawaii begins to make it's rer
sources and ATTRACTIONS known to the
mainland homeseekers it will, providing
the steamship companies will fix reas-
enable colonists' rates, have the same
experience as Oregon. Washington and
California. The land and opportunity
are here; all that is needed is to let the
mainlanders know.

WILL NOT AVAIL.

One of the most peculiar exhibitions
of grab bag legislation was that given
by the lower house at the close of last
week when nearly $4,000 was forced
into the Emergency appropriation bill,
no one Directing to the items because
each seemed to have a pet scheme.
Roads, wharves, bridges, buildings,
everything was put on except substan-
tial Territorial improvements. the idea
seemingly being to fix up the counties.
1t would appear that the legislators
might with profit weigh conditions be-
fore burdening a measure with abb
solutely impossible items. The very bill
on which the items We're placed carries
proviso that no contract of more
than $500 may be let without advertis-
ing. Do the merry members expect
that one office can prepare all the plans
and specifications, advertise and let
contracts and have the work completed
by June 80 when the appropriations will
lapse? If so they are certainly an eX-
tremely credulous lot, those same legis-
lators.
For new work it is impracticable that
1t be undertaken, Such thing cannot
be done. With only six weeks remain
ing to do all the work ordered would
call for ten times the force now placed
In the Public Works Department. But
these considerations did not affect the
members. No indeed, not for them to
think out plans for their work, they
did 1t, the other fellow may worry: but
the result will be that probably $780, 600
worth of appropriations will lapse.

SENATE GAVE NO
MONEY FOR HOUSE

| The Senate adjourned yesterday with
out doing anything for the House in
the way of providing its members with
money. AS a matter of fact the upper
house didn't do anything else eithe..
Before the chaplain had been given, Il
a chance to offer prayer Senator Isen-
berg was on his feet with a motion, to
adjourn until Saturday. McCandless
moved an amendment to adjourn sine
die. The motion was ruled out of order
but McCandless claimed that il the
Legislature adjourned without day the
Governor could call a special session
| If he wanted one.
After the prayer there was a lot of
in particular but which served to show
that the Senate had no intention of ac-
ceding to the House request for money.
Then Senator Dickey moved a recess
until afternoon as he wanted to attend
meeting of the Maui members to con-
slider the loan bill. Achi moved to ad-
journ for the day and McCandless
amended to adjourn until Thursday,
saying the Senate was far in advance
CT the House in its work, which was the
reason for the lengthy adjournment of
last Thursday. Only one bill was be-
fore the Senate said McCandless, so
no work could be done in any event.
The motion to adjourn until Thursday
was lost to 8. The motion for a re-
cess was lost 8 to 6. A motion to ad-
journ until this morning at ten o'clock
finally carried with eleven ayes.

DON'T Want
EXECUTOR
Controversy Over
John Wright
Estate.

| The absence of Treasurer w. II
Wright from the Territory is likel,
to lead to some trouble over the es.
tate of his uncle, the late John S
Wright. The missing treasurer was one
of the heirs Of the estate as we'll as
a co-executor with the widow, Mrs
Anna Wright and w. o. Smith. Mrs
Wright was in court yesterday with
an application for the appointment OF
an executor in the place of her errina
nephew, and requested Judge Gear to
give the position to her brother +. w
Wundenberg.
The petition however aroused a pro-
test from c. +. Peterson whose wife
is also one Of the legatees under the
will of John S. Wright. Wright died
April Gath, 1901, and left will providing
that his widow should receive one third
of his property. After that, f. E. Con-
ant of Kauai was to get a 1000 bequest
and the balance was to be divided in
equal thirds-one share 70 w. H.
Wright, one share to Mrs. C. F. Pc
terson and the third share to a brother
of the deceased residing in California
The principal portion of the estate con-
sists of 1850 shares of Ookala Planta-
ton stock of the par value of twenty
dollars share, though the stock is
worth less than that amount now.
Mr.. Peterson appearing for his wife
objected to the appointment of a third
executor claiming that the two were
sufficient. and could carry out the pro-
visions of the testator without the aid
of third. Mr.. Magoon appeared for
Mrs. Wright and urged the appointment
of F. w. Wundenberg saying that the
will provided for three executors and
the two could not act in the absence of
w. II. Wright. The petition also calls
for the removal of Ex-Treasurer Wright
who the petitioner says has lef. the
Territory with no intention of return
ing
w. o. Smith who is one of the exc
cutors also appeared in the matter, and
explained the contents Of the will and
the intentions of the testator. He said
however, that claim of $22,347 had
been made against the estate by one
of the executors which would more than
wipe out the property. This claim
however, he stated he had so far not
been willing to admit as Just.
The claim for $22,347 is made by the
widow of the decedent, Mrs. Anna
Wright 1t Is claimed as due to her
for sums advanced to her husband
during his lifetime. The money so
loaned was obtained from the proceeds
of ranch and land given to Mrs.
Wright by her husband. Part of this
alleged claim arose from money obtained
from sale of portion of the land, and
from rents obtained for other portions.
This claim is resisted by Mrs. Peter
son. as to allow it will wipe out her
entire legacy. The objection to F. w.
Wundenberg is also said to be due to
the same cause. as he is brother of
the claimant. Mrs. Wright.
The hearing of the matter was finally
postponed until next Monday at the re-
quest of Attorney Peterson who asked
for more time
