Justice Brewer Declares the President VIII
Forward the Jewish Petition.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 15,-Justice David
j. Brewer Of the United States Supreme
Court paid tribute to the courage Of the
President to-day while discussing the
Jewish petition before the agents of the
Northwestern Life Insurance Company
He said:
THE eyes of the entire world are upon
President Roosevelt to see if he has the
nerve land want to tell you he has) to send
to the Government at st. Petersburg the
Jewish petition OF protest against the afro
cities perpetrated at Kishineff. When this
nation protested against the misrule Of
Cuba by the Spanish it was not for any
commercial reason The war with Spain
came because we despised oppression. 1t
was in the name Of humanity that we inter-
fered. Cuba was our neighbor. There's
grandeur in the word aeighbor. p.
Not long ago wa sent protest to Rou-
mania against the cruelties reported there.
The world has come to expect that such
things will not be tolerated, because Of the
growth and development Of the spirit Of
neighborlfness. That was the first thought
in our interference in Cuba. II was the
same in Roumania, and it will be the same
when President Roosevelt sends the petition

OTHERS TO LEAVE NEWPORT?
Report That Mrs. Oelrichs VIII Follow
Mrs. Fish's Example and Go Elsewhere.

NEWPORT, r, l., July 15..-Following the
announcement that Mrs Fish has placed
her residence in the market for sale, comes
the report that Mrs Hermann Oelrichs is
seriously considering giving up Newport
as place of residence during the summer
andof selling her estate on the cliffs known
as Rosecliff
A man in the social set said to-day that
he had heard Mrs. Oelrichs speak OF the
subject and thought that she was seri-
ously considering taking this step. He
said that there was strong feeling among
the oottagers that the merchants of New
port charge exorbitant prices, knowing
that the cottagers will pay them, and he
said that it was largely on this account
that several Of the cottagers had their
provisi MS sent from New York. He also
said that the city did not afford the cot
tagers sufficient po lice protection, and in
view of the fact that they were the heavy
taxpayers they thought that they should
have some consideration. He intimated
that unless something was done in the
near future it would not be surprising il
others of the cottage colony would leave
Newport.
AS in the case of Mrs. Fish, it is hoped
that Mrs. Oelrichs will not leave Newport.
She is also one of the leading entertainers.
Her villa is practically new. She has occu-
pied 1t only two years 1t was formerly
the estate of the late historian. George
Bancroft.

Mrs. William Brown, wife of shoe mer-
chant Of Kokomo has been known among
her friends as the author Of the Grace
Richmond" stories that have appeared in

work of the authoress and even discussed
her methods of work.
Recently Mr. and Mrs. Z. Fl. Potter OF
Fredonia, n. Y, moved to Kokomo and
were very much surprised to learn that
Mrs Brown was the author Of the stories
in question. Mr.. Potter said that he knew
Grace Richmond as the daughter Of Bap-
fist minister at Fredonia. Friends in
vestigatedand Mr. Brown was also notified
of the discovery, and said that he had al
ways believed that his wife wrote the stories.
When confronted with the facts Mrs.

SPRECKELS'S DAUGHTER SUES.
Wants Property She Gave Back 10 Him
After Her Runaway Marriage.

SAN Francisco, July ia cable de-
spatch from Honolulu says that Mrs En-
ma Spreckels Watson, only daughter of the
sugar millionaire, Claus Spreckels, has be-
gun suit there for possession of'a business
block worth $500 900 and for 100000 dam
ages for being deprived OF the rents for five
years.
This suit recalls peculiar quarrel tina
resulted from the sudden and secret mar
riage of Emma Spreckels in 1897 The
millionaire guarded Emma carefully from
fortune hunters, as he had given her more
than 81 OOO, 900 in her own right Among
the friends who dined often at his house
was Thomas Watson, a grain broker,
who was old enough to be Emma's father.
He courted the girl, however, and she mar
ried him at San Jose without notifying
her parents Spreckels wss savagely angry,
as he had just built new house and ex-
pected his daughter TO preside over it,.
He called Watson fortune hunter A
few days after her marriage, the daughter
decided back to her father block on Market
Il rect and the Honolulu property and also
transferred bonds worth 81 100000 The
father never saw her after the marriage.
Spreckess friends cut Watson and he
was forced to leave the city. He went to
Lower Kngsford. Surrey, England, where
he is now chairman of the Parish Council.
One year after she had transferred the
fortune back to her father Emma evidently
repented and made formal demand on
The tenants for rents of the Honolulu prop
erty. Her lawyers alleged that as her hus
band had not signed the deed the transfer
was illegal under the Hawaiian law. The
present suit will be made on this ground,
but Spreckels will fight it, despite the fact
that he recently cleared up 81 500 900 on a
gas and electric deal.
