STROKE OF PEN
STAYED BY DEATH
Charles T. Yerkes Would Have Chang
ed His Will but the Doctor Advised
Against Lawyer Seeing Patient to
Get His Signature.

NETWORK, Jan. 5.--The Times to-
day says:
1t was learned yesterday that in the
hope of prolonging the life of Chas. L.
Yerkes. DR.. Fl. P. Loomis, Mr.. Yerkes'
physician, by word of professional
advice to his dying clients Iawyer, Ad-
rian H.Joline, prevented the signing of
a new will or codical, which would
radically have upset the present dis
position of the Yerkes estate.
DR.. Loomis gave his consent to MI.
Yerkes directing tile drawing of new
will three weeks before his death.
1t was given then only because the
sick man constantly talked about the
necessity OF a new will being made.
1t preyed on his mind so greatly that
DR.. Loomis, in the hope Of restoring
him to mental quiet and poise, that he
might better fight off death, finally
permitted the patient to have an inter
view with SShis lawyer, Mr.. Joline.
1t took Mr.. Joline two or three days
to draw up the new will. and in the
mean time Mr.. Yerkes became much
weaker. He was still conscious when
the lawyer returned with the docu-
ment, but he was in such condition
that DR.. Loomis considered it unwise
to have him meet the attorney again,
or attempt to attend todo auybusin
The hoped TO, rally of Mr.. Yerkes did
not come. He lapsed into unconscious
ness and the JoIine will was never
signed.
The Yerkes will published yesterday
exists only az the result of the care of
DR.. Loomis for his patients. A word
from his and the name of Chsa. 7.
Yerkes would have been affixed to a
document which it is said would have
changed the DISPOSAL of .his sl5,00o,
600 in almost every particular save
in the requests to the city giving the
AIT galleries, the family mansion and
the Bronx hospital.

C. VICTOR MARTIN
BROUGHT into COURT
Question Of Disbarring Ex-Judge from
Practice of Law in State of Wash
ington to be Heard Before Judge
fointdexter of Spokane.

Former Judge G. Victor Martin was
brought into court Wednesday even
iEg in answer to the nineteen disbarr-
ment charges filed against him by the
bar association Of Chelan county.
Mar tin moved that Judge Steiner
appoint judge from some other dis
trlct to try tie case. Frank Reeves,
who led the prosecution argued against
such proceeding OH the grounds that
Judge Steiner, knowing Martin, would
be more inclined to take charitable
view of the case than a Judge who
would give his 6eoisjon merely on the
testimony that was offered.
After an argument was heard from
both sides Judge Steiner announced
that he would not hear the case. He
stated that he was overwhelmed with
work, cases a waiting him in Okanogan,
Douglas and Ferry counties that he
would not have time to try the case,
but would cali in Judge from some
other district.
He named judges Riggs, Brents,
Poindexter. Hunicke, Kennan and
Chadwick as Jurists, who, in his opin-
ion, would give an impartial nearing
TO the case, He suggested that the
attorneys select judge satisfactory
to both sides from the list su omitted.
The court announced that, in order
to give Judge M,rtil every possible
advantage, he would hear the dem Or
rers that Marin |! !fled, on Friday
morning. He gave az a reason the fact
that judge hearing tho demurrers
would get an idea of the case from
the arguments. Martin objected TO
this proceeding but was overruled by
the court.
This morning, Judge Fl. G. Neal of
Daven poIt, and Fl. E. Humphriss, of
Seattle, met with the representa-
ives of the prosecution, Frank Reeves,
A. n. Corbin and W. A. Grimshaw,
met with Judge Steiner and decided
upon having Judge Poindexter, of Spo-
kane, hear the case.

LAND TO Be WRESTED
FROM TIMBER KINGS

PORTLAND, Jan. 5.-The United
States government is preparing for
one of the greatest legal struggles in
its history, soon to be inaugurated,
when an attempt will be made to
wrest from eastern timber kings and
stock covers the millions of acres of
public land fraudulently acquired.
Vast tracts of land in Washing ton,
Oregon and California and other west
ern states are at stake. They are now
held by millionaires who will spend
their money freely in order to retain
their booty. Civil suits have been in.
stituted already in few cases.
The great bulk of the timber lands
in Washington and Oregon are now
concentrated in the hands of half a
dozen holders. 1t is estimated that at
least two thirds of it was obtained BY
fraud. Suit has already Eeen begun
for the recovery Of 100, 600 acres in
Washington and Oregon, but as yet
the government has scarcely made a
beginning in attempting to recover it's
stolen land.

Farmers fiisIed by Republican Orators.
(Samp on DemOcrat.)

To the Editor: I understand that
persistent efforts are being made to
persuade our farmers that the prices
of cotton are regulated by the taflll
laws of the Republican party. and that
the "prosperity'' now blessing the pro-
ducers Of cotton must be credited TO
the Dingley act. Such claim can
rest on 10 foundation. but q lack or
knowledge of the statistics which can
be found in any Of the Year Books OF
the Agricultural Department OF the

mand for it. and of the effect on all
prices caused by the enormous output
of cold during the last few years-an
effect which led ex-senator Butler 70
