PROMISE LAWYERS
TO De SILENT.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 17-In the de-
velopment of the Wister-W ghtman
will contest. Philadelphia's fashionable
set finds itself confronted with one
of the greatest puzzles in its history.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones Wister, leaders in
most conservative circles, today de-
clared that they had promised the law
yers to remain silent in the face of a
series of most astounding rumors
growing out of the collapse of the will
contest because of the slip of yellow
paper upon which the late William
Weightman had written something af-
fecting Mrs. Wister.
When the prominent lawyers engaged
by Mrs. Wister to contest Mrs. Walk
er's right to the $50, 100000 left by
Weightman were asked today If some
thing could not be done to stop the
amazing rumors. their only response
was that they had agreed with the
counsel for the other side to say moth
ing regarding the yellow slip of paper
Two of Mrs. Wister's lawyers held a
conference with her during the morn
ing. They found Mrs. Wister greatly
agitated by the gossip caused by the
mystery of the writing upon the yellow
paper and anxious to have the docu-
ment made public, together with her
statement regarding the paper The
lawyers finally persuaded Mrs wister
to remain silent little while longer
That efforts are being made to i'm
pose some sort of a document upon
the public as the yellow slip" was
made evident today, when Richard w.
Meirs, who is Mrs. Walkers confiden-
tial agent and whose wife is a daughter
of Mrs. Wister, stated that a man had
called upon him and exhibited what he
represented to be copy of the docu-
ment. Mr.. Meirs states that the paper in
question bore no resemblance in any
respect to the paper which caused such
commotion in court

said Thomas Roman, owner of the

Walla Walla this morning en- route to
Dayton, where he will look after busi-
ness interests for few days, says the
Walla Walla Statesman. California
horsemen are scattering to all parts
of the United States since the earth
quake. There will be very little rae
ing in California for another year at
least, and horsemen, realizing the sit
uation, are shipping their stables to
eastern and northern tracks in hopes
of recuperating their losses"
Mr. Roman says the earthquake
shock was plainly felt at Pleasantown
track, which is located about 40
miles from San Francisco. The track
and racing stables sustained little
| damage, however, and the quarters
are crowded with horses being condi-
toned for the eastern circuit. Horse
men are shipping their stables as fast
as they can secure cars. Mr.. Roman
said that the disaster will result In
hundreds of California horses being
shipped to Oregon and Washington to
