IMPORTANT DECISION
May Have a Great Effect Upon Hand
ling of Estates in This Country.

The judges Of the Superior Court hand
ed down on important decision yesterday
afternoon. 1t may have considerable ef-
feet upon the handling of estates in this
State herafter.
The case before the court was that Of
Bessie NJ. Powell and Leonard Mcvey by
their next friend Bessie NJ. Powell
1t has been a rule for number OF
years that a person to whom property
has been left for life under a will had no
right 10 dispose of it OF to negotiate a
mortgage on property.
Horace G. Knowles some time ago, who
is attorney for the estate, advised Mrs.
Thompson since deceased, that she had
the right as the holder of the life in
terest in the property in question to
place a mortgage on the property and
he advised a person to take the mort
gage. William f. Kurtz. who represented
the mortgage was Of the opinion that Mrs.
Thompson could not mortgage property
and both attorneys decided to get an
opinion from the court.
The point raised was where property
has been left by win to a person for the
sole use and benegt of such person during
all their life with a right to leave the
remainder to the person designated in the
vii whether the first divess has the
right to sci and to mortgage property as
against the proposition they have only
the right TO the income.
The decision is important from the fact
that there are a number Of cases where
beneficaries under will as above sta
ted had had absolutely no benefit other
than a life interest with the power Of
the disposing OF it at death and the de-
cision Of the court yesterday makes Il
possible for the first devisee 10 dispose OF
the property either by sale or mortgage.

CHAMPION OF ROOSEVELT
Calls the President messiah
of Patriotism" in Glowing
Eulogy

Louisville. KY. Oct. 21.-Henry Wat
terson in the Courier Journal today
discusses the President, his visit to the
South and the causes that have made
him Cwatterson) a staunch champion
for the present at least Of the stren-
uous Chief Executive.
H. goes back to the Booker Washing
ton incident. the Crum affair and kim
dred matters that made the South at
enemy of Roosevelt. but, according to
Mr. Watterson. there came a change
after the overwhelming victory Of the
President last November. He says:
He laid the last big stick aside, the
habiliments of the Rough Rider We're
exchanged for more conventional ap-
pareli and finally by an act Of daring
as original as it was felicitous, and
sustained throughout by unhagging
persistence and intelligent purpose,
this recreated Theodore Roosevelt
stands forth a very archangel Of peace,
bringing upon himself and his country
glory unspeakable.'
/ In closing Mr.. Watterson says: "Ths
South has wandered forty years
tnlouBn wilderness OF SectlondASu
for this vision of the Promised Land of
perfect nationality. It has longed for
some messiah Of patriotism and broth
erhood to rise in the North and reach
out to it the hand of equality. having
La heart in it. To Theodore Roosevelt
this happy lot has fallen.
Though we differ tomorrow. never
lagain shall there be from us ascerbity
