DEAD WOMAN Is VICTOR.
Gr. Ar~'eby Not Entitled to Share in
Estate of Wife, Says Mime
sofa Judge.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 17.-Judge
Hallam in the Ramsey county district
court today decided that the ante-nuptial
agreement made between DIR. E. w.
Appleby and Cornelia Day Wilder is
valid. The court also held that DR.. APP
pelby was not entitled to possession of
the Wilder mansion on Summit avenue
and that he was not entitled to the
$4,000 a year for the maintenance of the
Wilder home.
The ante-nuptial agreement provided
that DR.. Appelby should draw from the
estate Of Mrs. Appelby annually $4,000
a year providing he did not marry again.
The estate of Mrs. Appelby is valued
at $S50,0OO and is a part of what is
known as the Wilder charity which, by
the wills of Mr.. and Mrs. Wilder and
their daughter, Mrs. Appelby, deceased
was left in trust to the worthy poor of
st. Paul. The entire estate amounts to
about 100000.
DR.. Appelby claimed that the chart
table bequest in his wife's will was void
and that the Wilder home with a fund
of $4,000 year for it's maintenance was
rightfully his whether he lived in the
home or not.
The probate court decided adversely
to DR.. Appelby on all these points and
an appeal was taken to the district
court, which today decided with the pro-
bate court

eating committee and agrees to accede
to their wishes and allow Il representa-

ment. However, | only made that as a
suggestion, and further, that it seemed if
an exhaustive investigation of the affairs of

luton adopted by your state convention

Quoted in public, so that the press could

But I Judge from your letter that all you
wish to dc is to ascertain purposes for
which disbursements Of the state were
made. | nave no desire to refuse you any
request You wish TO make that is within
the realm of reason, and | will accede to
yOur request to send man to look at the

keepers or some other clerk, familiar with

ON JULY FOURTH,
Medical Records for the Last Celebration
Show Decrease in Casualties
Here

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Statistics of
this years Fourth of July casualties,
with special reference to tetanus cases,
are given in tn, current issue of The
Journal of the American Medical asso-
citation.
The total number of deaths from te-
tanus is given by The Journal as -,
from other causes So, or 15S deaths as
the cost in life of the national holiday
Ihe total number of injured is given
as o3oS, the largest number in the four
years statistics were compiled. OF the
injured - suffered complete loss of sight,
- the loss of one eye, So the loss of legs,
arms or hands, and 221 the loss OF
fingers.
Wisconsin's Record Good.
Wisconsin is far down in the summary
of casualties. \ comparison of the total
of accidents directly due to the toy pistol
III the last four years shows Il decrease
until this year, when $40 celebrants were
injured by blank cartridges l. is pointed
out, however, that the number of tetanus
eases resulting from the use of the toy
pistol was less this year, being 04, us
compared with So in 1908.
In the number of deaths resulting
from the celebration of the fourth lii
nois this year claims the record, with
70; Indiana, with IL, PENNSYLVANIA with
10, and New York with 10 coming next
Pennsylvania. the birthplace of indie
pendence, however, still remains far in
the lead with 900 casualties of all kinds,
followed by New York with 6S1. Hi
nois with 59S, Ohio with 400. New Jer-
sey with 39S, Michigan with 800, and
Missouri with 325.
How Deaths Were Caused
OF the So killed aside from
tetanus, SO were killed by gun
shot wounds; Is persons, mostly chill
dren, were burned to death by fire re-
sulting from fireworks; IS persons
were killed by explosions of powder, dy
Mantle and railroad torpedoes; 3 were
killed by giant crackers; J were killed
by cannon; l by a INSTRUCTED sky
rocket; one by a fall in an effort to avoid
a giant cracker, and l in a runaway.
Probably the worst instance was the ex-
piosion of powder which killed 8 boys
who We're preparing to celebrate near
Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
TetanuS cases occurred in twenty-five
different states, = more than last year, 4
more than in 1904, but 5 less than in
1903 Illinois leads this year with Is
cases. New Jersey comes next with 10,
while Indiana and New York tie for
third place, with s cases each, and Ohio
comes next with Z.
Wisconsin. Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Illinois and Connecticut show a marked
decrease.
The giant frecracker is deemed the
worst offender, firearms rank second, and
toy cannon third. The Medical Journal
says there is need for stronger ordi-
nances. The decrease in tetanus is cred
tied to medical advancement.

THOUSANDS BAIT JEWS.
Philadelphia Mob INDUCES in Anti-sem-
itic Riot at Scene of Big Strike
of Hebrew Shirtmakers

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. IL
The long strike in the shirt factory of
Tutelman & Faggan reached a storm
climax last night in a race riot that
suggested the anti-Semitic warfare in
Europe Three thousand men, women
and children marched on Jewbaiting
expedition that seemed to assume bloody
proportions. The police prevented a Sc
rious conflict.
We'll hang all the Jews on q sour
apple tree" shouted the leaders. 4
woman picket is blamed for the affair.
Most of the strikers are Jews, while
most of those who are still working in
the factory are not. Down with the
Jew.' someone shouted just us one tried
to push his way through the crowd of
the pickets at the door, encountered by
a bicycle. He was taken for a messen-
ger from the strikers chief. A thousand
pursued him, his wheel was smashed
and several injured including the rider.
Ambulances were on hand almost as
soon as the patrol wagons, but the only
patient was a 14-year-Old girl. She ran
into the street to see what was the mat
ter and was knocked down by brick.
Adding fuel to the flames came the ru-
NOR among the crowd that some persons
had tried to burn the factory.

" JUMPERS" ARE HOSTILE
SECT WILL RESIST WAUKESHA PEG
PIE UNTO BLOOD"
Head of Sect Denounces "Peek-a Boo
Waist-New Converts Are Given
Stiff "Pumphandling."

WAUkESHA, Wis, Aug. 2O.-[Spe-
cial. l-Over $500 people crowded into
and surrounded the big tent where the
Holy Jumpers" are holding their camp
meeting, last evening. Duke NJ. Farson
of Chicago, who is at the head of the
sect, addressed the meeting making a
bitter attack on the several orthodox
churches and modern society. He
scored the 'peek-a-bOo" shirtwaist and
denounced dancing and card playing,
characterizing the modern waltz as the
hlthlest thing let loose from hell"
At the conclusion of the meeting an
effort was made to secure converts and
those who desired the prayers of the sect
were invited to come forward. One man
was completely carried away with emo
ton and the vigorous manner in which
he was handled by members of the sect
brought the spectators to their feet with
excitement. AS he kneeled in the straw
on the ground, eXhOrting at the top Of
his voice, four StalWart Jumpers"
bounced upon him. One in front grabbed
him by the waist and rapidly swayed him
to and fro while another pushed him
from behind. Two others worked his
arms rapidly up and down pump-handIe
fashion much after the manner of an at
tempt to revive Il drowning person.
The camp meeting will close Friday
evening.
The current issue of "The Burning
Bush" the weekly publication of the
sect, contains on the front page repro
duction of the letters recently written
the officers by Mayor Snyder informing
them that the city council was opposed
to their continuing their down town
meetings and requesting that they be
discontinued. Under the headlines of
Persecution at Waukesha," the publ
cation contains an article defying the
people and expressing the willingness of
the sect to resist unto blood"
