ANSWER FROM VILL4RDS.
Mrs. Bells Claim for Securities Re-
fused bg Her Father, 1t Is SAID.

Answers were filed at White Plains yesterday IN
the suit brought by Mrs Helen Willard Bell against
the estate of her father, the late Henry Willard.
and Mrs. Bells mother and brothers. for ac-
counting to certain securities which Mrs Bell
said were her property and were held for her by
her father. All OF the defendants deny that MI.
Willard induced by Mrs. Bells mother or
brothers deprive Mrs. Bell OF any property. and
assert that Mr.. Willard committed breach Of
trust
The answers say that OF tho securities
which Mrs. Bell claims came to her from the
estate of her grandfather. William Lloyd Garrison
These securities taken of by Mr.. Willard
FOR his daughter but the answers recite that they
were fully accounted for TO Mrs Bell as far back
May 1897. AS 20 the remaining securities
claimed by Mrs. Bell. the answers say that Mr..
Willard owned them absolutely, and never trans
terred them to hts daughter. II Is said that in
July. 1886 Mrs. Bell accused her father OF with
holding the securities for which she is now
suing. and that Mr.. Willard absolutely denied Mrs.
Bells claim and said that these securities were
his own private property. Apparently no attempt
to press this claim made by Mrs. Bell in her
fathers lifetime. until the present action waa
begun late in 1903, than three years after the
death of Mr. Willard
II also is pointed out in the answers that, in
spite OF the claim made BY Mrs. Bell in 1896. her
father continued to give her allowance about
SIS 900 having been paid TO her in the four be-
tween the time OF her claim and Mr.. Willard s
death Mrs. Bell was also provided for In her
fathers viii. il Is contended.
is the fact that NJ Willard opened an account in
his books in her name, and entered IN that &C
count the securities Mrs. Bell is seeking to
recover. In the answers II is declared that Mr..
Willard opened similar accounts the names OF
his wife and sons and that all OF the securities,
no matter in what account they stood on his
books were treated by him in the way he
disposing Of the at will, and applying the in
come arising from them he fit The posi-
ton taken by the defendants is that Mrs Bell has
legal rights in any way different from the
other members of the family.
In the other suit brought by Mrs, Bell to set
aside her fathers viii of the defendants have

court required Mrs. Bell to make. The question
TO be decided by the court IN that suit is
whether Mrs Bell long after the will ad-
mitted TO probate with her consent in writing. can
make objection TO the will under which she has re-
ceived and still continues to receive requests,

Location Of sXnOdIcaI COLLEGE.

The Presbyterians of Alabama need
a college and have practically resolved
to establish one. The people of BESSIE
mer consider their city the proper seat
for that Institution for it is located in
the busiest district and most populous
county in this state, with prospects of
growth absolutely unapproached else
where in Alabama. 1t is located, too,
in a beautiful valley, overshadowed
by great hills, from which flow streams
of pure water. Health and vigor are
essential in the location of a college,
and no town in this state can offer
more of either than Bessemer can.
Looking to the future, Bessemer has
a great deal to offer, for when the War
rior is opened, Bessemer will become
the center of thriving population, the
heart of mining as well as manufacture
ing Industries. A college located amid
such surroundings would attract stu
dents, when college in a quiet local.
ity would be passed by. People attract
people, even in student life
The Age-Herald hopes Bessemer will
present its advantages to the board
controlling the location of the college,
and everybody in this district should
pull for Bessemer in this matter.
Our sister city in the southwestern
section of the county is full of promise,
and The Age-Herald is glad to hear
that it has commensurate educational
ambition.

II HE financial straits Of John II.
w Kirby, the Texas lumber king,
have attracted widespread atten-
ton in all parts of the United states. It
is comforting to Mr.. Kirby's friends to
learn that he will probably be able to re-
coup his losses and If predictions fail not
will soon be on his feet again. John II.
Kirby has led one Of the most picturesque
careers among all the. sturdy lighters In
this country who have started at the bot
tom and won great wealth. He was per-
haps the richest man In the southwest be-
fore the recent crash and had had phe-
nominal success with all his undertake
ings. It is said that Mr.. Kirby was
twenty years old before he heard steam
whistle As an obscure lawyer in one Of
the backwoods counties of Southwest
Texas he gave little promise of the brill
liant achievements that have marked his
life in later years. The most gigantic
Undertakings were not too great for him
and his skill as a financier is recognized
on Wall street almost as widely as in his
native state where he has been a financial

Mr.. Kirby made money much faster
than he could spend 1t. although he lived
in lavish style and built home in Hous-
ton with palatial appointments. He show

his friends, but Mr.. Kirby is extremely
democratic in everything he does. To
newspaper men he Is always courteous
and when not overwhelmed by business
enga gements the most humble logger can
approach him without any difficulty. al
though in his busy hours. Mr.. Kirby is
surrounded by force of officieus clerks
who see that the Lumber King is not

The war between Russia and Japan is
affording an opportunity for interesting
speculation to the numerous dietary stu

Russians are meat eaters and have been
so for time immemorial, while the Japa-

consisting principally of rice and pickles.
The physical characteristics of the two
races would tend to show that meat builds
up larger and stronger men than a veg

although it retards their growth. This
is further proved by the fact that the

contests, are much larger than their

Those persons who go to New York
with the idea that they will find the Bow
cry as it has often been described are
apt to be disappointed" said a New
Yorker. Although yet one Of the most
interesting parts of the metropolis the
Bowery has lost much of its former
picturesqueness and there are but few of
the old characters remaining to fight
against the encroachments of the city.
for the new town and the new life are
crowding out the old. Both Chinatown
and the Bowery are being slowly pushed
out by the inroads of business blocks.
I'm some respects the Bowery is a re-
markabe feature of metropolitan life and
the old Bowery has been the scene of
many adventures which are yet related
by wise bachelors to an admiring circle
of youngsters There was time when
man who went through the Bowery un-
armed and escaped trouble boosted of his
feat forever afterward 1t was believed
that nowhere else could experience be
gained at its fountain source and there
fore no one went to New York without
doing the Bowery. But the Bowery has
been done so often and the police vigil
lance Of the city has increased to such
a degree that the picturesque old street
and its malodorous neighborhood has be-
come rather tame and is far more inter-
esting in fiction than in reality.'

At that time the genuine Spaniard was
insolent to Americans, because he be-
lieved the United tSates was going to
pieces. Appomattox had not been won by
Grant, and therefore our country's future
hung in the balance.
No one could leave the island in those
days without paying 50 for a passport,
and the Spaniards were such robbers that
though they paid out our scent silver
pieces for a sixpence, yet when we came
to pay for our passports we had to pay
sixpence instead of cents. We said aloud
to the guide who was with us, with our
usual frankness, that this was damnable.
The guide nudged us and said, BE care
full; this is the office of the captain gen.
eral of Cuba We then clearly understood
what kind of government Spanish tyr
amy had forced upon Cuba. Cheating on
passports was common, and the duty
levied on American flour being 81 bar
rel. visitors could understand how the
people were robbed by Spanish officials.
Beef cattle could not be slaughtered with
out first paying $12 duty to the captain
general. He had right to steal just what
he pleased, provided he made up from
other taxes the tribute Spain annually de-
manded. Our short experience in Cuba
convinced us that Cuba was as badly gov
erned as any country in the world.

Pettus himself says that he was never

Edmund Winston Pettus.

The Memphis Scimetar rises I'D to
give circulation to rumor that will
stagger Alabama at any rate. This
rumor, as presented in the Scimetar, is
to the effect chat Senator Pettus. of
Alabama, has held public office un-
interruptedly for sixty years." 'Tt
would be q pity" adds the Scimetar,
ito break in upon a record so remark
able for continuity as that"
Office-holding. even of the continuous
sort, is not necessarily crime, nor
even a misdemeanor, but a fact is a
fact, and the Scimetar is guilty of pre-.
senting fiction for fact. No allevia-
ton can be pleaded in its favor, for it
could turn to a Congressional Directory
in a moment and ascertain the chief
incidents in Senator Pettus' long and
distinguished career.
Senator Pettus began the practice
of law in 1912. In 1874 he became the
solicitor Of his circuit, but he served
the public but two years. In 1865 he
was elected judge of his circuit. Three
years later he resigned the judgship,
and he never held another Office until
1897 when he became an United States
senator. He never held a strictly po-
litical Office until he was sent to the
seante in 1897, for the two Offices he
did briefly hold were. related to the
legal profession, of which he is and
long has been a shining light in this
state.
His war record shows. greater con-
tinuity. He was lieutenant in the
Mexican war, and he served in the Con-
federate army from the beginning to
