Contest Starts To-Monow When the Will of the Millionaire Will Be
 Attacked
HIS RELATIVES WANT MORE

New York, Sept 20.--A contest for the millions of Russell Sage, who died last July, will, the Herald states to-day. be begun in the local courts Friday. Senator Edgar T. Bracket of Saratoga, who has been retained, will file papers in the contest. He will act for several of the Sage rela- tives. Among the grounds men, tioned on which the validity of the instrument will be attacked are men tai incompetency, the exercise of un- due influence, and the improper drawing of the document itself. References will be made to an orig inal will in which MT Sage provided more literally for all his next of kin.

The companies referred to include the Commercial Union. Ali ance, Palatine and Norwich Union. Added to these are the Indemnity and Williamsburg City of this coun- try, whose policies contain the same provision purporting to exempt them from liability for loss by earthquake.

DEMOCRAT SELLS FOR 42 cEHra
 A MONTH.
The Richmond palladium. (Richmond, Ind.) 1906-1907, 1906-04-25

The republic of France seems destin-
ed to experience once again the ter
rors of revolution. The strike which
started shortly after the terrible coal
mine disaster, has assumed the pro-
portions Of an insurrection, thousands
of men having joined in the move
ment. The present government. has
proved it's weakness by foolishly try
ing to temporize with the instructions
lists, when a show OF strength would
undoubtedly have prevented to a great
extent many of the riotous scene S
which have been enacted. Organized
labor throughout the country is being
used as catspaw by the Royalists,
Clericals, Anarchists, Socialists. and
others, in forwarding the interests of
their particular parties. The weak.
temporizing policy of King Louis the
Sixteenth, opened up the way for the
great French Revolution OF more than
century ago; let us hope that the
policy of the present representative
government will assume sterner meas
ures, and prevent a repe tition of the
horrors enacted during the previous
reign Of terror.

A WEEK AGO.

Just a week ago today the entire
country was Mortified to hear of the
disaster which had overwhelmed the
greatest city of our Pacific coast.
News Of the disaster, at first hard to
obtain, was OF a highly sensational
character, and the loss attributed to
the earthquake varied from a hundred
million to billion dollars. while the
loss of life was fully expected to be
above ten thousand. Throughout the
week, however, these figures have
gradually receded. until now the mon
etary loss is estimated at about two
hundred millions. and the loss in life,
1t is believed, will not exceed eight
hundred. The disaster was one which
affected the entire country. Thous-
ands OF people living in other cities,
anxiously awaited word from friends
or relatives who were either visiting
IN the stricken city, or else lived
there permanently. Then came the APP
peals for aid, affording the country On
opportunity to which it responded
wonderfully, of proving how generous
1t could be to its stricken inhabitants.
Millions were raised for tho suffering,
and then the splendid organization of
the Red Cross Society was called in to
distribute this immense sum where it
was most needed. Tho inhabitants OF
the stricken city have proved by their
energy in getting to work immediate
ly to prepare for the rebuilding OF
their ruined city. that they are worthy
of the vast sums which their fellow
countrymen are sending to help them.

STORIES OF THE TOWN

An interesting incident that took
place in the Wayne circuit court room
on the morning that John Locke was
arranged leaked out yesterday and
created considerable mirth among the
attorneys and Judge Fox who were
assembled when the story was told.
John Locke the famous desperate
had just been led into the court room
and he had taken a chair at the west
side of the witness box to await the
opening of court. On the opposite
side of the room Prosecutor Jessup,
Attorney John F. Robbins, Deputy
Clerk Huey and Court Stenographer
Curme were seated about table dis
GUESSING various questions. Two stran-
gers entered the room from the west
corridor and their conversation was
overheard by a well-know Richmond
attorney who CHANGED to be seated
alone near the door.
"As far as notables are concerned"
ventured the first stranger, Il would
rather get look at John Locke than
Chauncey Depew, and that's the rea-
son l wanted to come in here.
wonder which Of those fellows is
Locke" and with this remark the first
stranger pointed to the group at the
other side of the room.
THAT fellow with a black broad
brimmed hat on looks like he might be
the fellow ventured the second
stranger, for he certainly looks des-
perate to me-"
The Richmond attorney thought it
was time to take a hand, so he said
softly. mo. my friend you are mistak-
en-. That's not Locke; that's Prose
cutor Jessup."
well said the first stranger, that
short fellow sitting with his feet on
the table and who wears a deep media
tivelook, must be Locke. He is evil
IDENTIFY thinking what is coming to him
for his hideous crimes"
mo you are wrong too" butted in
the Richmond attorney. THAT man
you describe is Attorney John F. Rob
bns, who represents Locke"
well, I'll be blamed" calculated the
second stranger, but I'll go the cigars
that I've got the right man picked this
time. That square-jawed young fell
low with his hands thrust in his peck,
cts defiantly, must be Locke. He fits
my idea of him exactly"
| Wrong again" cried the attorney.
That's Gus Huey, the gentlemanly
deputy clerk of the court.
well if we hit three of them wrong,
then the young boyish figure. the fel.
low who puffs violently at the cigar
must be the famous bandit of Wayne
said the strangers in chorus.
THAT my friends" said the attorney
is Arthur Curme, Jr., the reporter OF
the Wayne circuit court. If you de.
sire to see Locke, just look trifie
closer. The young man seated there
at distance of twenty feet from the
group is the desperate who was cap
/ tured after a years search.
We'll I'll be logged" said the first
stranger, 4 supposed that man was
the judge of the court"

WEDNESDAY. APRIL 20. 1906
DON'T LET UP.

One OF the local evening papers as
serts that the contributions now pour
ing into San Francisco, will not only
relieve the distress of the afflicted, but
will also be nearly enough to rebuild
the largest part of the stricken city.
Such hypothesis Is absurd and unless
corrected may discourage a great
many from sending in any more con-
tributions. The truth of the matter
is that with all the contributions pour
ing into San Francisco from all over
the country, there will hardly be
enough to properly care for the needy
and destitute, much less for rebuilding
any part OF the city. Within what
were the borders of San Francisco are
now some three hundred thousand
homeless people, whose only means of
support for some time must come
throughout this country. The news
papers are full of talk about how San
Francisco Is to be rebuilt Immediately,
but Immediately in this case does not
mean a week or month; 1t means
enough months to make up year and
then some. Some work of course will
be provided for many who are now
idle in the rebuilding OF the city, but
for many more there will be none.
Skilled mechanics are not necessarily
good brick-layers or masons, fact
not to be overlooked in considering
the employment which will be most
plentiful in San Francisco during the
next few months. Over eleven mil
lion dollars has been raised so far for
the sufferers of the great disaster, but
how far will that go toward caring for
several hundred thousand destitute
people during a period extending over
three or four, or maybe many more
months time? Twice eleven million
dollars will barely be sufficient, and
the people of Richmond should in no
wise relax in their endeavors to con.
tribute every penny they possibly can
to help better the pitiful condition OF
their fellow countrymen in the strick.
en- city OF San Francisco.

BILL s DEFEAT
NOW EXPECTED
immigration Measure Probab-
ly Will be Turned
Down.
THE OPINION OF WATSON
INDIANA Is VERY MUCH INTER
ESTED AND MANY THOUSANDS
HAVE SIGNED THE PETITION TO
CONGRESS.
palladium Special.1

Indianapolis, April 24-That immi-
grafton legislation is in danger OF de-
feat is the opinion of Representative
James E. Watson, whip of the House,
who has been making a careful poll
Of the lower branch of congress dur
ing the last few days on this impor-
tant theme of legislation.
Probably there is no other subject
now before congre SIS in which such
deep interest is manifested by the
people of Indiana. Thousands Of Pc
titions have been received from In
diana on immigration legislation and
they are still pouring in. 1t is a sub
ject of paramount interest to the
working people. The American work
ingmen want to be protected from the
hordes of immigrants who are COM
ing from southern Europe to offer
their services for less than is paid to
American labor. The patriotic So
cieties of the country are especially
hostile to further immigration and are
urging congress to put up the bars.
Petitions signed by $4,000 names have
been forwarded to congress by the
JuUlOT OTu6T OL AulSIlCdH mGCudulCS
in Indiana
Watson Favors Gardner Bill.
Il am heartily for the Gardner
BILL" said Whip" Watson. Il am
convinced that immigration legislation
is one of the biggest questions before
congress and believe thoroughly that
if the restrictions in the Gardner bill
had been in force during the last ten
years they would have kept out g.
100000 undesirable immigrants"
What do you find to be the chief
obstacle in the way of immigrant leg
islation?"
1.-THE Inability of the workingmen
of the country to agree. as to just
what they want. Some want one kind
of a law and others a law of entirely
different character. Some do not want
any legislation. The contention be-
tween them Is charp and sometimes
bitter. Because of these intense diff
ferences among the, laboring interests
congressman regard the question as
loaded and are afraid to taekle it,

TAX PAYING Is HEAVY
Treasurer Myrick is Keeping His Of.
flee Open at Noon and Next
Week at Night.

In order to accommodate the rush of
before the time limit, May 7, one week
from next Monday, the office of the
County Treasurer is being kept open
during the noon hour this week and
next, and every night next week, it
will be open until nine o'clock.
Taxes are coming in heavy now,
there frequently being several thous-
and dollars collected a day. Indica-
tons are that there will be less delin'
quent tax than usual, as the paying OF
the tax is much simplified by having
the city tax collected by the County
Treasurer.
