OBJECTED TO GRANT
OF A YEARS SUPPORT.
Paine Heirs want Share of Estate
of the Late Hugh Logan.

of the Late Hugh Logan.
When the inventory and appraise-
ment of the estate of the late Hugh
Logan was filed with the clerk of the
Court of Ordinary yesterday, together
with the application for years sup
port for the widow, Mrs. Katie Logan,
an objection was filed to the latter
The inventory and appraisement was
filed by Nlessrs. Samuel Reynolds, Rob-
ert M. Hicks and John j. Horrigan.
The objections to a years support were
filed by Attorneys w. B. Stubs and
Jacob Gazan.
The inventory and appraisement show
that the value of the estate, the great
er part of which is in real estate, is
S35, SIS SO. The amount of cash on
hand is $5,T40. So, which does not in
clude the amount due the Paine min
ors. Besides the above he owned 1865
shares of the stock of the Peoples In
vestment Company, which is valued at
$4,000. OPEN accounts aggregating
$500 are due the estate.
The caveat to the granting Of years
support to the widow of the deceased
was filed by the attorneys mentioned
above for Mrs. Agnes Sapp, Mrs. Liz
zie Swift. and Mr.. Edward Paine, a
minor, all heirs of the estate of Ed
ward Paine. deceased. of whose es-
tate Mr.. Logan was executor.
They submit that 1,416.50 came into
his hands as executor. Alleging that
the whole of this has not been paid,
they claim they are heirs of the es-
tate.
Mrs. Logan asked for $4,000 for a
years support. This sum the DIRECTORS
allege is excessive: that 1t is not es-
timated in accordance with Mr.. Lo-
gan's circumstances prior to his death,
and because the state is insolvent.
A caveat was also filed to the petition
for a years support to be set aside
from the estate of Emma M. Wag-
ner.

turns made by the County Democratic
Executive Committee.
The meeting of the State Committee
tomorrow. according to the call is
sued by the chairman, is to FIX the
time, place and proceedings under
which said appeal shall be heard"
Charges of fraud have been made by
both candidates for the office, and the
hearing is expected to be sensational in
the extreme.
WnI Not Discuss Case.
Neither Mr.. Lawrence nor Mr.. Hitch
would express an opinion as to the
outcome of the matter, nor would
either of them take any stand. Mr..
Foy, who was in the city yesterday,
also declined to express any opinion.
All three said both sides would have
to be heard and the matter then de-
cided. Mr.. Hitch said the mem bers
of the committee would be in the po-
sition of judges or jurors and would
have to hear the evidence before de-
Gliding.
Mr.. Hitch was not sure whether he
would be able to attend the meeting.
If he did not go, he would not send
his proxy to any one, he said. as he
did not think it would be fair in such
a case. When the regular meeting
was held a short time ago Mr.. Hitch
did not attend and Mr.. Morris, the
present contestant Of the election, was
given his proxy.
The sympathies of most of the local
politicians in Savannah are with Judge
Gober in the fight.

Tradition in Architecture.

Professor Hamlin. writing in the
Forum, has the following remarks on
tradition in architecture: The Euro
pean designers have been so carried
away with the freedom of the new
art that in architecture. where law
must reign at least in a measure, they
have allowed the freedom of the new
spirit in design to degenerate into Ii
cense and even anarchy. The reason
of this is clear. Tradition. which has
always. in architectural STYLES, minis
tered for a while to progress in re-
fnement. by concentrating all effort
upon the perfecting of the details Of
the style, has just as uniformly in the
end led to sterility in design and then
to a final reaction. This is what is
taking place in France, Belgium, Ger
many and Austria. where the too
academic formality of the long ac-
cepted classic revival has bred weari-
ness and revolt"

TAFT REVIEWS CONDITIONS
IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Says Beneficial Effects From a PoIiti-
cal Standpoint justify Purchase
of the Friar Lands.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-Secretary
Of War Taft reviewed conditions in the
Philippines before the House Commit
tee on Insular Affairs Wednesday. The
Secretary turned his attention TO
the Patterson bill to abolish slavery in
the islands. He stated that there was
not the slightest objection to the pass
age of the bill, although in his judg-
ment there was no cause for the meas
ure. as slavery had already been abol-
ished legislatively by the terms of the
Philippine act. The Bates treaty, he
said, had been abrogated by the Sultan
of Sulu and his dattos, and he had for
warded a recommendation to the Secre-
tary of War for its abrogation officially
by the United States. Secretary Taft
reviewed the friar land negotiations,
which had successfully been concluded.
While the Philippine government might
lose perhaps S1.500.G00 or $1,000, 900 by
the purchase of the friar lands and
their subsequent sale 10 Filipinos, he
thought the beneficial effects from a
political standpoint amply justified the
transaction.
Secretary Taft Will continue his ac-
count Of Philippine matters before the
committee al another time, and viii
also be heard later by the House Com
mittee on Merchant Marine and Fish
cries on the Philippine shipping bill.

Match Under Penalty of Fine

The managers of the various amateur
boxing clubs Of this city and OF Oak
land met at the Hayes Valley Athletic
Club last night and perfected their in
dependent boxing organization. which
will hereafter govern the game here
and across the bay. When the new as
sociation was completed the representa-
tives Of the various clubs declared
themselves no longer under the control
Of the Pacific Athletic Association.
The new combine will be known as
the California Amateur Athletic Asso-
ciation, and to-day it Will be duly in
cOrporated under the laws of the State
and city. Its membership consists Of
the Bay City, Hayes Valley, Lincoln
and San Francisco clubs of this city
and the Sequoia Club of Oakland.
The following officers were chosen to
serve for one year: President. E. j.
Kaplan; vice president, Matthew Riley;
secretary, z. j. Harrington; treasurer,
Eugene Pfaeff1e; board of directors
Morris Levy, E. j. Harrington, William

LIGHT
ON DIVIDENDS
Stakeholder in the United States
Steel Corporation Begins
Some Interesting Litigation

TRENTON, n. j., Feb. u.-Alfred f.
Stevens of Newark to-day instituted
suit in the Court of Chancery against
the United States Steel Corporation to
have that corporation show cause why
it first increased and subsequently dis
continued payment of dividends on it's
common stock.
Stevens in his petition claims that
the steel company since it's incorpora-
ton has had net earnings over and
above its fixed charges of about $4,000, :
900. OF this amount $1S,0000OO was
earned in 1901, $34,OOO.000 in 1902 and
S11 900 900 in 1903 He claims that under
it's charter the corporation is obliged to
pay quarterly dividends to the extent
Of 4 per cent per annum; that in Octo-
ber, 1903, a dividend of only one-haif
of / per cent, or at the rate of per
cent per annum, was declared, ana tnat
in January. 1904, no dividend at all was
declared on the common stock. He at
tacks the validity of the recent bylaws
of the corporation, which authorize the
directors TO set aside from the earnings
of the company from time to time such
amounts as they may determine.
stevens contends that the bylaw is
in violation of his rights as stock
holder; that he owned his stock before
this bylaw was adopted, and that he
never consented to its adoption. He al
leges that even under this bylaw no
money was set aside for working capital
until February, 1904, whereas 1t was
prior to this that the dividend of Octo-
Der. 1908, was reduced and the one Of
January, 1904, was passed.

Professors Of Engineering.

One of the problems to which engi-
neering schools ought to give imme-
date and serious consideration has,
says Casters Magazine. grown out of
the practice of obtaining professors by
'in-breeding." as il has been charac-
terized, meaning by this the recruiting
of the young teachers. soon to be de-
veloped into full-fledged professors
from among recent graduates. with
little more than their school expert
ence to their credit. This damages the
school. There have been occasional
lectures by prominent engineers, act
lively engaged in professional work,
and now and then men fresh from en-
gineering fields have been secured as
the heads OF engineering school de-
partments. But these are only 1so-
lated examples of what should be
general practice.
