ALEXANDRIA, Va, January 10, 1905.
The contest of the will of the late Mrs.
Frances P. Smoot by her daughter, Miss
Ella Rose Smoot which has occupied the
attention of Judge Louis c. Barley and a
jury in the corporation court since Wednes-
day, January 10, was brought to a close
yesterday afternoon, when the jury, after
celebrating about one hour, brought in
verdict for the proponents of the will A
motion was made by Attorney Samuel &.
Brent, for the contestant, that the verdict
be set aside and new trial granted. but
this was overruled A stay of execution
for sixty days was granted in order that
an appeal could be made for a writ of
error.
When the court convened at 2 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Brent reviewed
the evidence from his standpoint in
speech that lasted over two hours. In
| speaking of the lease of the Smoot lumber
business for an annual rental of $1,000,
which had been brought forward by coun-
sci for the proponents of the will to show
| that Mrs. Smoot was possessed of con-
siderable business capacity, he said he
| failed to see 1t from their standpoint In
| fact, he said, he could not conceive of
person possessed of her full mental facul-
ties dsposing of a business which gave
net profit Of $4,000 for a rental of $1,000.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE
New Turn in Milwaukee Post
mastership Fight.
REPRESENTATIVES UNITE
Both Often and Stafford Now Agree
Upon Greene.
THE NATCHEZ MARDI GRAS
People Want Warship Sent There
for the Occasion-An Arkansas
Marshalship.

There is a peculiar turn in the matter of
the Milwaukee post Office, which promised
to cause President Roosevelt and Postrnas-
ter General Cortelyou some trouble and
bring about bitter feelings in the Wisconsin
city. Representatives Often and Stafford,
who had opposing candidates, have united
upon William l. Greene for postmaster and
submitted their recommendations to the
President. Mr.. Often was at the White
House today.
The strange part of the double indorse-
ment Is that Mr.. Greenes name was orig
inally proposed to the President by Repre-
sentative Stafford, while Representative Of
5en gave his backing to man named Rich
ardson Then Mr.. Stafford, acting upon the
solicitation of several people of influence,
switched his Endorsement to D. c. Owen,
who was a sergeant-at-arms of the repub-
lican national committee In the last cleo
tion and was friend Of Postmaster Gen.
eral Cortelyou. 1t was announced that
owen would be named. 1t did not go that
FAR, though, as the President directed that
the whole thing be held up pending an in
vest1gatfon of some kicks that were coming
In. The differences between the two rep
reseptatives, both with claims upon Mil
waukee patronage, appeared to be irrecon-
ciia:ble, but they got together by Often
taking up Greene after he had been dropped
by Stafford and the latter returning to his
original choice.
The fight between the half breeds and
stalwarts in Wisconsin has been so fierce
Mr.. Often al first tried to get a man who
was not Identified with either of the fac
lions. Greene has been working with the
stalwarts, of which Senator Spooner is
the head, but his activities have not been
50 Objectionable as to bring about oppo-
sition to his confirmation by Senator La
Toilette, who is the leader of the half
breeds. AT least that seems to be the
view taken by the two representatives In
1uence is still at work for Owen, 1t is said.

DaDtiSt Sentiment.

The following report on the tenn

annual meeting of the Kansas Bap-
tist convention, which closed its ses-
sien in Topeka, October 81, 1906, as
expressing the sentiment OF the So,
GOO Baptists of Kansas:
As representatives of Baptist
churches assembled in our annual
state convention, we wish to express
our continued hostility to the whole
liquor business. We look upon the
saloon as the Immediate cause Of
more than 80 per cent of the crime
committed in our country. and as the
greatest cause for poverty and insan-
ity in our midst. 1t prospers only by
the violation of law and by trampling
upon the moral rightsfof the iudiyid-
ual. 1t is the greatest enemy of the
home, the church and the nation. 1t
has become so disastrous TO the gen
eral welfare of society that our United
States Supreme Court has declared
that the traffic has no inherent
rights"
We wish to condemn as criminals

other states, who violate their oath

Germany. To this union was born
five sons and one daughter-they all

Illinois, and Gerhard an4 Mrs. Chas.
F. Folkers in Trego county, Kansas.
In 1898 he came TO Trego county to

and stayed three years and six months,
then went back to Illinois, to live

turned to Trego COUNTY. at which
place he resided at the time of his

He had always been very strong
and healthy man up to July, 1906,

of office by failing to enforce such
laws as may be upon the statute books
for the prohibition or regulation of
the traffic. We note with approval
that the mayor of Kansas City, Kan
sas, and the county attorney of Wyan-
dotte county were removed from Of
flee by Judicial action because of vio-
latiOn of their oath of office: and
recommended that every other mayor
and county attorney IN the state who
violated his oath of Office respecting
law enforcement, be also removed.
We heartily endorse the public SEN
timent which condemns any member
of the legal profession who uses his
ability in the technical defense of
known criminals, and who in the
form of fees shares in their ill-gotten
gains, or who agrees to protect the
criminal in future violation of law, as
equally guilty with the criminal him.
self. And we call upon the Star Bar
Association TO take action looking to
the adjustment of such practices.
We condemn the practice of real
estate owners renting their property
to be used as places for the illegal
sale of intoxicating liquors Espe-
cialIv do we express our complete dis
approval of all protesting Christians
who are in any way identified with
the liquor traffic, through the use of
their property or otherwise
We rejoice that in the last 25 years
prohibition has done much to make
our own fair ctata ono IF tho c1oopoct
land most prosperous in the Union.
Since the prohibitory law became a
part of our state constitution we have
reduced the number of prisoners in
our state prison by 264, although our
population has more than doubled.
During this same period every other
state in the Union increased the
number of its prisoners.
Out Of los counties in the state, IL
border counties in which the JOINT
has been tolerated furnishes seven
Fights OF all the states prisoners.
The other So counties furnish the
other one-eighth. Among these IS
counties 81 had no criminal cases on
the docket last year. and 30 of them
had no prisoners in the state prison
We desire to commend every of
fetal who during the past year has
endeavored to enforce this law, ano
rejoice that much has been accom-
plished to this end. However, much
remains to be done, and we therefore
urge our Baptist membership to ale
in arousing a public sentiment thai
will compel the enforcement of thi:
law in their various communities.
For the better enforcement of tn,
prohibitory law, we call upon on
representatives and senators in con
gress to give their support to an,
measure that prohibits the grantin,

PHONE COMPANIES
NOT To MERGE

For several days there have been ru-
mors in effect that the Home Telephone
Company would e absorbed by the Pa
cifc States Company. The reports were
denied by Robert n. Frick, attorney for
the Home Telephone Company. When
interviewed last night Mr. Frick made
the following statement:
"I have already heard the report, ana
1t Is false in every particular, 1t has
been spread as weapon against US in
our fight for franchises in different
parts of this State, but be that as 1t
may, 1 can say, as one of the repre-
sentatives of the Home Company, that
the company intends neither to sell
out TO the Pacific States nor to combine
with them in any way in fixing rates.
The best possible reason exists for this
attitude of our company. In every fran
chise held by the Home Telephone Com
pany in California there is embodied
the clause that If we either sell out
to the Pacific States Telephone Com
pany or combine with them In the
fixing of rates the franchises shall be
forfeited. So we really have nothing
of value to sell to the Pacific States
Company for even should they buy us
out they would be paying for some
thing that would be absolutely value
less to them the moment that the
transfer was completed
