m1nistrator,

Chief Justice Alvey of the Court of APP
peals handed down an opinion this after
noon affirming the right of the lower court
to appoint an administrator to the estate of
John Mcmahon. Mcmahon was a resident
of Alexandra, Va. and worked in this city.

alleged negligence of the Western Union
Telegraph Company
Letters of administration were issued on
his estate to Attorney A. A. Lfpscomb, who
brought suit against the telegraph company
for heavy damages on account of Nc
Mahon's death.
The telegraph company in Its answer to
the suit moved that letters of administra-
ton be vacated because Mcmahon was
nonresident of the District of Columbia
and had no property or debts here The
court refused to do this. and the case was
appealed, the decision today affirming the
decision of the lower court.

Only Other Country Aoner1ng to The
Hague Arbitration Protocol
Mexico is the only one of the peace pow
ers that has fully adhered to The Hague
arbitration protocol signed by Mr.. Bowen
for Venezuela and by Secretary Hay last
winter for the United States. The other
powers have shown a singular and unex-
plainable indifference. considering the ex-
tent OF their interests. sh
Holland and Belgium have been the most
dilatory Of all In the negotiations, and that
is regarded as curious In the case of Hol-
land, which is supposed to cherish the prin-
ciple of arbitration more than any other
state. If that attitude IS unchanged the
entire expense Of the presentation of the
case of the peace powers before The
Hague will fall ON the United States and

by profit exceedingly in case the verdict Of
