half length In fierce drive with Prince
Silyerwings. Moharib. the winner of
the Kansas City derby. came In third.
Time, 2:O6.
English Lads victory was a popular
one and when he passed under the wire
winner tumult among the $4,000 per-
sons that packed the grandstand and
crowded the infield was caused.
The horses were off to a prompt
start; Prince Silverwings took the lead
and remained in front until the stretch
was reached. As the horses turned into
the stretch English Lad sprang for
ward and passed Prince silverwings.
From that point on English Lad held
his place and passed under the wire the
winner by half length. For the first

the telegraph company suffered from
this order.

WANTS HER AWARD
VI aiming of Ante -Nuptial Contract
Question in County
Court.
WILL OF FERDINAND DAVIS
Widow insists OF Portion Above
Her Under The
Law.

When Ferdinand Davis and his sec
ond wife welded they had drawn an
agreement which both signed that
each should enjoy his or her property
during married life the same as be
fore Mr.. Davis had several children
by his first union.
Recently he died at his home in
South Rock Island. His will provides
that his property, consisting Of an cs
tate Of probably 10000. with the eX
ception of his interest in the home
stead and $500 bequeathed to his wife,
be apportiOned among the children.
Mrs. Davis. who is living on the
homestead. holds that the widows
award. allowed under the statutes. wa
not meant by the provisions of the
ante-nuptiaI contract to be ignored.
and accordingly she has asked for
the share that she is entitled to by
law from the estate when the apprais
crs shall have completed their work
of invcntorying the property of her
late husband.
Clash with the Children.
The petition that Mrs. Davis has
assumed has developed a conflict be
tween her and the children of hCI
husband that will be adjudicatcd in
the county court, where the will is on
file. Judge Parmentcr drafted the ante
nuptial contract and therefore has in
vitcd Judge Chcsley of Henry county
To preside at the hearing. which is in
progress at the court house this after
noon.
The Davis heirs contend that their
father intended in his contract that
his wife should waive her widow
award but the law appears To favo!
her in the present instance. Her wild
ow's award would give her about $500
ont of the estate.

sPALDiNG FAVORS CHANGE
In Accordance With Pope's Wish May
Danish Women From Choirs.

BSnISh women from S6OlTS.
Bishop Spaulding. head of the Peoria
Catholic diocese. is understood ready
to follow the step taken by Archbishop
Farley of New York. who recently
sent out letters to- the Wears of his
diocese directing the exclusion of wO-
men from the church ChOirs and the
employment of boys as sopranos and
altos.
Pope Plus is in favor of the change.
1t is his desire that the Georgian
chant he sung in all Choirs at mass.
and male voices be preferred for this
music. Much of the mass music now
approaches opera music, and the char
acter of the music to be used in the
Catholic services is TO be changed. In
structiOns from the pope do not sig
nifty any specific date when the change
is to be made. but it is presumed that
all the churches of the country will
make the change as quickly as praC-
ticable.
There are many difficulties to be
overcome before women can be eXclud-
ed from the chOirS. In the first place
time must be given for the publication
of music, and that will be a work of
considerable magnitude and care.
More time will be consumed in its dis
tributfon and in choir rehearsals. An
other difficulty to be overcome will be
the training of boys for choir work.
