N AND ABOUT THE COURTS
XPERT TESTIFIES IN THE IS-
 BELL WILL CASE.

The Last of the Howe & stetsOn Co.,
 Action for ForeclOsure-Daugh
 Cut O6-WiI on Deathbed-COIored
 Girl Convicted of Theft--City Court
 Trials.
 A casual observer entering the pro- bate court yesterday morning might have mistaken Judge Cleveland for a professor of tntymology, looking at some new found specimen of insect.
 The judge was bending over mag nifying glass and intently gazing on something focused by the glass.
 As matter of fact the judge was looking at a portion of the will of the late George A. Isbell, the real estate , dealer and broker. There was a fur ther hearing on the contest of Mir. Is- bells will. and a handwriting expert was called upon for his opinion as to i the interlineation Ito Mrs" which ap- pears in the Isbell will just before the name Theron A. Todd" The blood heirs who contest the will say that the interlineationwas written in after the will was executed, that therefore the will is void, and that Mrs. Todd should not have the property.
 Attorneys Isbell and Booth. counsel for the blood heirs, put on the stand as a witness this morning Albert s. Os- born of Rochester, N. r., who Is handwriting expert. He brought alora his microscopes, stereoscopes and other scopes which he needs in his business, and he set them up so Judge Cleveland could gaze through them at the inter- lineation and other features of he will.
 Expert Osborn testified that he has testified in several hundreds of eases regarding the authenticity of hand writing, and that his experience cov- cred from fifteen to twenty years.
 He was asked if in his opinion the words Ito Mrs" were written before or after the signature of the tesator was written
 T is my opinion they were written in at d later time, said he.
 How much later?"
 T can't undertake to say, but they were written at leas more han one day later"
 MT. Osborn then proceeded to tell of his investigations and what they re- vealed, and give the reasons for his opinions.
 Attorney Arvine. counsel for Mrs. Todd, examined him at length. Isbell and Booth had another hand writing expert in court, who was ex- amined later.
 Attorney Arvine will probably put on an expert in rebuttal.

ST. PETERSBURG, January 22.-Fre-

was the anniversary OF "Red Sunday
The stores were all open. and the ordi-

Bands of workmen were encountered CO.

region to another. sometimes chanting a
revolutionary chorus. hut otherwise they
were orderly. The anniversary passed in
the ta,nest fashion. There were no devel-
opments or disorders. Early dispatches
from the interior report that no serious
trouble occurred anywhere.
The day here was absolutely unevent.
full except for the stoppage of work at
some of the factories, but the attempt
to make the strike general was failure.
A large proportion OF the workmen disre-
garded tho appeal. The electric light
plants and street car services are both

fantry swept up and down the streets at
intervals and pickets Wore stationed at

T ALGECfRAS, January 22.-The pleni-
potentIailes were entertained ut to-day's
sitting OF the Moroccan conference by an
almost continuous skirmish between M.
Revolt, head OF the French delegation,
and. Count Won Tattenbach, the second of
Germans. delegates. While the amenities
were carefully observed, the other dele
gates were conscious that to-day was the
beginning of fresh controversies between
France and Germany, which are likely
to be long protracted and of increasing
earnestness.
The styles of fence displayed by the
two plenpotentiaries suggestvl their diff
ference Of race. NJ Revolt was keen.
analytical of mind, skilful in fine diplo-
matte phrasings, with n grace of express
sion and winning personality.
Count Won ira tterbach was downright OF
speech and soldierly in manner, trusting
to the solidity Of his IDEAS and to his
facts.
The two Observation-Disclosures are not in
sympathy. and draw apart outside the
council room. Both are of high ambition,
and 1t will be difficult for either to yield
to the other.
The conference to-day adopted five of
tIle SlSleen ilrtlcleS contained IN the re-
port of, the committee on cOntraband
arms. Then. as the sitting had lasted
two and q half hours, discussion OF tho
remaining articles went over until Wed
nesday. Tho discussion brought out
lengthy discourse from Sid Mohamned
cl Mokhrey, the Moroccan delegate. con-
corning Morocco's general attitude to-
wards the conference.
AS he spoke In Arabic the delegates
listened silently not comprehendng
word.
A slight incident occurred when II.
Revolt. head OF the French delegation.
answering the Moor's request for time
to refer certain features of the report to
the Sultan, remarked that the Moors APP
peared DESTROYS to refer some portions
of 1t. but not to refer others. There
upon Sid Mohammed declared that they
were obliged to refer everything With
out exception to the Sultan. This
brought on a discussion among the dele
gates. showing that they all were SINH
larly obliged to refer important points
to their respective governments.
