MILD SENSATION is SPRUNG

The case OF the heirs OF the late James
Wallcn, who arc contesting wills and
deeds conveying his property to his third
wife and widow, was again the feature
In the chancery Court yesterday, and n
large number OF witnesses were examined.
I; Attorneys are sharply contrasting every
point In the case, and several times the
Jury was sent out In order that questions
relating to the admissiblity OF testimony
might be argued before His Honor, Judge
Grinnan.
The real sensation Of the day came in
the afternoon. 1t arose over testimony
which sought 10 esta bish that Mrs G. a.
Paul, Of Newport News, sister Of Mrs.
Walcn, had been separated from her
husband on account Of her alleged fond
ness for a man named Frank Hugh.
Both Showed Up.
Both Paul and Hugh turned up In court
yesterday Messrs. Pollard and Pollard,
representing Mrs. Nnllcn. fought TO ex-
cludc Pauls testimony, and the jury was
sent out. The man finally testified.
It was brought out that after the sepa-
ration between Paul and his wife. the
latter came TO Richmond and stopped
with the Wallens.
II seems that Paul went to Mr. Walens
homo one day to get some papers and
found Hugh there. Warm words followed,
and proba bic trouble was prevented only
through the intervention of Mr.. Wallen.
Later. 1t is said that Mr.. Wnllen. who
felt friendly to Paul, said he regretted the
visits or Hugh TO his house, but added:
~ can't do anything about It; my hands
are tied"

mittee on Industrial Arts and Expeditions
to-day authorized Mr.. Maynard to re-
port favorably. carries a total nppropri-
ton of *l,45o,ooO. The various items
arc as follows:
Government exhibits ......... 5000 900
Wharf ............ 400 900
Buildings ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 100000
Rendezvous for officers and
men ....... ............... 125,ooo

Direct appropriation ......... 100000
For erection Of wharf, etc, at
jamestown Island .......... $4,000 f
To the Negro Development and
Exposition Company. 100000
II feel that the first real battle for the
Exposition appropriation IS won,' said
Mr.. Maynard. II am gratlned at the
fact tina, the bill is now out OF the
committee. and gratified that It is such
a good BILL though l feel It should have
been larger. However, those who know
something Of the difficulties we have had
to overcome and the opposition Of the
powers that be to any appropriation Of
this character will agree that we have
done pretty we'll. believe the bill will
meet the appreciation OF the officers and
stockholders of the jamestown EXPOSE
ton Company, and Of the public general
". It might have been possible to have
had the bill provide for a slightly larger
total appropriation, but to have got this
/ should have had to incur the opposi-
ton of some members OF the committee
and Of the House who will stand by me
in the fight for the bill In its present
form. The bill, as framed now, will Sc
cure the support Of the largest possible

Friends Confident.

Mr.. Maynard and other friends Of the
exposition appropriation have not made
an effort to learn the attitude Of the
speaker towards the bill. They have felt
that the time to approach him was at
ter the bill had been reported. While
1t is understood that Speaker Cannon
is opposed to an appropriation being
made to the exposition, It Is believed he
can be induced to allow the bill to be
considered In the House. In which case
its friends are pretty confident Of it's
passage.
It Is understood that the Senate Conn
mittee on Appropriations Is quite friend
~ to the BILL SO that its passage by tho
upper branch IS we'll assured. Represen-Y
tative Maynard is arranging to have a
number Of Republican and Denoratic
members make speeches in behalf Of the
