Strange BIunder Of Great JurIst

The proverbial inability Of eminent
lawyers to frame their own wills so as
to command the support Of the courts
has been again illustrated by the In
validating Of the will Of the late Chief
Justice Paxon Of the Supreme court Of
Pennsylvania. He devised a large
portion of his landed property for the
establishment Of an agricultural school
for poor boys. Under the Pennsylya-
MIA law wills containing charitable be-
quests must have the signatures Of
subscribing witnesses. But the chief
justice forgot all about the witnesses
and his beuuest has been held void.

that he might be taking them because

One Of the most characteristic letters

had her sister copy one of her stories

A Measurement Corrected.

Editor Herald: l wish to take ex-
ception to an article that appeared
in the last issue of the Weekly Re
public. stating that the berry grow
ers would be in great trouble for the
want of berry crates. on account of
the loss by file. / will say, as one of
the berry growers, that the item is
false and misleading If I wanted
5000 berry crates now, | could get
them at the Horticultural Union-or
more, if / wanted them, and they are
for sale to anybody who wants them.
But that is not the question. Such
articles as referred to, which APP
peared in the Republic, might be the
cause of great loss to the berry grow
ers. if a few believed it and took
their berries to town in tin pail or
soap box, fearing that berry boxes
could not be found. Further, 1t
would demoralize the market on ber-
ries to such an extent that we would
all be losers. Furthermore, what
would strangers say about North Yak
ina? What kind of town is that,
because one dealer is burned out. the
country must go without berry boxes?
Anyone can see what such an article
might do; tell the truth or say moth

In justice to Secretary Taft and
myself, I desire to correct an erro-
neous report which has been given
forth by the press of my examination
before the committee in Washington
on Tuesday.
"In the press report of this exami-
nation it was stated that I said Secre-
tary Taft at the Manhattan hotel in
terview in New York last June had
almost cursed me Senator Morgan
in one of his questions asked if the
secretary showed temper at that i'm
terview. My answer was yes fol-
lowed by the general remark that his
denunciation almost crushed me, or
words to that effect-referring to the
effect of his denunciation, and not to
the language used by him. When the
published press report was brought
to nay attention 1 was absolutely at a
loss to determine in what way the
misunderstanding occurred until my
secretary who examined the record.
informed me as to how the error had
evidently occurred upon the part Of
the press reporters.
