Elizabeth r. wiedersheim, Harriet A
Kneisley, Jennie Pope Mckay. Joseph J.
F. Klein, Theodore Wiedersheim, sam
uel e. Tatum. Henry F. Woodland
Philip Hichborn. and the Dewey Hotel
Company. a corporation. for the purpose
of having conveyances OF certain vain
able property interests set aside. re-
ceiver appointed, and an Injunction is
sued TO restrain the defendants from
disposIng of any of the assets OF the
estate of Nathaniel Mckay.
The bill sets forth that Nathaniel Nc
Kay died July 10. 1902: that on June 26,
1902. a ceremony OF marriage was slieg-
ed to have been performed at Crisheld.
Md, between Mckay and Mabel Grace
Mckay, named as a defendant. that in
pursuance of an alleged design to de-
feat claims of alimony on the part OF
the defendant, Jennie Pope Mckay to
whom deceased had previously been
married. and to defeat the claims Of
creditors. Mckay caused lots ana 6
in square 24S. partially improved by the
handsome residence 1871 X Street north
west. to be conveyed to Mabel Grace
Mckay.
1t is further alleged that for the same
purpose Mckay caused the Dewey Hotel
Company to DC formed and had the title
TO three valuable houses on Thirteenth
Street and the hotel property on i
Street conveyed to the defendant com
pany.
1t is averred that all OF this property,
as well as upward of $4,000 of bonds OF

estate of Mckay TO the extent Of ss4 ,423.-
80; that by the records Of the probate

represented the personal assets TO be
only about $4,000; that some of the de-
PENDANTS aided Mckay in his alleged
schemes TO defeat the just claims of
creditors. and that the incorporation of
the Dewey Hotel Company Is of 10 legal
effect. on account of which It is claimed
Clark ana other creditors have a right
to have their claims enforced against the
real property; all of which, including
the Dewey Hotel bonds, Is now claimed
to be without a lawful custodian.
The court is asked 70 appoint a re-
ceiver With power 20 manage all the

ir the contract list were not procurable

not only caused still more delay. but
added new perplexities to the situation
Distribution Further Delayed.
The report also calls attention TO the
fact that the law makes 1t mandatory
upon the Secretary OF Agriculture to be-
gin the distribution of seeds not later
than January 10. because in the far
South planting begins soon after this
date.
In the report. however. it is said that
the work was not begun until about
January /. 1893. or soon thereafter" the
report referring TO the assembling of the
seeds, and not the distribution Of them.
Captain Whittleton, however. took a
charitable view Of the delay and the
character OF the work under this con-
tract, and he reported that Mr.. Nellis
did all he could to make the distribution
a success.
A Remarkable Saving.
No action was taken against Mr.. Nell
lis under this contract. and when the
bids were called for the subsequent
year. the contract was awarded to
Charles Parker. who distributed the vast
quantities OF packets without any ad-
verse criticism whatsoever.
Mr.. Nellis then put in his bid for the
contract OF 1901. and though many pro-
tests were made by seedmen from all
over the country who said that the dis

candidate.
One prominent local lawyer has been
mentioned. A. A. Birney. formerly
United States District Attorney for the
Dictrict OF Columbia. Mr.. Birney has
many friends who are advocating his ap-
pointment. but he has a lucrative law
practice which requires his constant at
tention and it is not likely that he will
relinquish this for position on the local
bench.
