Information comes from New York
that "Al" Adams, the notorious pol
icy king and hacker of the NJ J.
Sage & Co, after having failed few
weeks since for something like So
900. 900, is now making arrange
ments to open up his chain of bucket
shops again. Of course 1t is no part
of his purpose to return TO the de
which they trusted to him, and it
may be depended upon that if he
again begins operations the story of
his past will be authentic history of
his present and future. The South
has undoubtedly suffered its snare
from these various speculative at
fairs to which he lent material aid
and comfort, and in the light of the
further fact that there cannot possib
ly be any basis for legitimate bust
ness transactions with concerns of
| the character with which he has been
! identified. there should be no more

Written on Ice.

"On a Connecticut DAM" said a law
yer, "a parson was skating one day
alone. Suddenly the ice broke and the
man plunged into the cold, deep wa
ter.
He could not swim, but he managed
to keep up by holding to the edges of ice
about the hole he had made If he tried
to climb upon the ice though, it broke
under him. So, without moving. he
shouted for help.
mo help came. The place was lone
ly. The parson realized before LONG
that he was in bad way, and with
his knife he scratched on the ice his
last words-a brief farewell, and be-
quest to his wife Of all he possessed.
1.-The next day his frozen corpse war
found, along with the will written on
ice. No one disputed this will. The
wife was, in fact, the mans sole heir.
And thus was duly recorded the
strangest will Of which there Is any
record-a will written on ice."-E1.

KEEP A FAMILY RECORD.
Difficult Often Even with 1t to Prove
Ones Identity.

Difficult Often Even with 1t to Prove
Ones Identity.
ParadOxical as 1t may seem, the
most difficult thing to prove in court is
who you are, says the New York World.
1t is simple matter If 'you have still
living plenty of relatives of an older
generation, but suppose your parents
and uncles and aunts are dead, it be-
comes well nigh impossible. AS mat
ter Of fact, your knowledge of your
identity is absolutely hearsay. You
know your father and mother called
you their son, and to that fact you may
testify if the question of your identity
should ever come before a judge ana
jury. But the testimony goes before
the jury with the warning from the
judge that it is only hearsay, for you
have no personal knowledge of the
matter.
Official town or parish records are
valuable, but by no means conclusive.
Suppose you are John Smith, son Of
Robert and Mary Smith, born at Al
bany, on Aug. 1, 1865. The records of
births in the bureau of vital statistics
at Albany will prove that a son named
John was born to Robert and Mary
Smith on that date; the register of the
church may prove that John, son of
Robert and Mary Smith, was baptized
on certain date, but they do not prove
that you are John Smith Of whom
these are records.
To establish the connection between
you and the person mentioned in the
records, in other words, to prove your
own Identity, Is the difficulty. If your
mother Is alive, she can do it; if any
relative who has known you since you
were born is alive he can do it.
The successive suits for the estate
of A. T. Stewart failed on grounds such
Us these. The plaintiffs, cousins of the
late Mrs. Stewart, were unable to prove
their relationship. 1t was necessary in
one Of these cases that man should
prove his late father and A. T. Stewart
to have been brothers, but he had no
personal knowledge Of the matter; he
had heard his father In Ireland refer
to A. I. Stewart as his brother, but
the court would not let him testify
even to that and, as the defendants
denied the relationship, the case fell
to the ground.
Very often it is necessary to success
in litigation over an estate to prove not
only who were your parents, but who
were your grandparents. Family Bibles
with the records therein help out In
this, but are not at all conclusive. Birth
and marriage certificates are accepted
as corroborative, but it requires quite
mass of such matter, together with at
least some witnesses who can testify
of their own personal knowledge, be-
fore a court will accept such fact as
proved to it's satisfaction.
All this illustrates the great value
Of keeping family records, for these,
while not conclusive, are strong cor
roborative evidence Of identity, espe-
cially if the handwriting of the sue
cessive heads of the family In which
the entries are made can be proved,
which Is generally fairly easy. Many a
great estate has been lost to Its rightful
owners solely because of their inability
to prove who they were.

Mr.. Roosevelt Talks to Newspaper
Men on Rate Bill.

Thirty-six members of the corps OF
Washington correspondents represent
ing the leading daily newspapers and
press associations in the United
| States, met President Roosevelt by
| invitation in the cabinet room of the
executive offices recently to discuss
| with him the status Of railroad rate
legislation and to learn the presidents
views as to certain pending amend.
| ments to the Hepburn bill. The meet.
ing lasted more than an hour. While
the president made it clear at the out
| set that he desired not to be quoted
directly as to the views which he
might express, he was perfectly will
ing that his views should be known
and stated in the language of the
members of the press who were pre-
sent.
The discussion dealt chiefly with
the various propositions for court
review, from the board amendment
proposed by Senator Bailey of Texas
to the restricted amendment offered
Senator Long of Kansas. The presi-
dent in the beginning indicated clearly
and positively that he would be salts
fed with the enactment of the Hep
burn bill as it was reported to the
senate from the committee on inter-
state commerce. He pointed out, how
ever, that senate advocates of railroad
rate legislation-as sincere friends of
the legislation as he himself was-be-
lieved it would be wise so to amend
the measure as to provide specifically
for review of the decisions by the
interstate commerce commission by
the courts.
To this end the proposition evolved
by Senator Allison of Iowa, which now
practically has been agreed upon by
the republicans of the senate, was
offered, and after consideration was
accepted by the friends of the meas
ure, including the president The
president expressed the opininon that
the effect of the Allison proposition
was embodied in the Hepburn bill, but
it was also his opinion, as he stated
it today, if there is the slightest
doubt that the Hepburn bill, by impli-
cation does not carry the effect of the
Allison proposition, it ought to be in
corporated explicitly in the measure
before its enactment into law. Per-
sonally he favors the narrower re-
striction of the amendment of Senator
Long, but some other advocates of the
legislation do not favor the amend
ment.
He made it clear that the judgment
OF the friends of the measure was so
evenly balanced on the question of the
Long amendment that it was scarcely
worth while to make contest for it.
as year or two of the laws operation
would demonstrate clearly whether it
would be necessary further to amend
the act in the way proposed by Sena-
tor Long.
The president assured his hearers
that he and every advocate of the
pending measure would be satisfied
perfectly with the Hepburn bill with
the amendment proposed by Senator
Allison.
