FIGHT ADMISSION
Proponents Object to Much OF
Contestants Testimony in
the Mackin Case. +.
MRS. BEAM STILL ON STAND
Niece of Father Mackin Testified to
Acting InsaneIy-Nurse Thought
Him Mentally Unsound.

The examination of the witnesses for
the contestants in the Macl1in will
case in the circuit court is punctuated
by many arguments over the admission
of certain lines of testimony, and much
of the time yesterday afternoon and
some time this morning, was devoted
to arguments by the attorneys on the
points involved. Mrs. Sarah Beam,
niece of Father Mackin. is still ON the
stand She was the first witness call
ed. but after an objection TO certain
parts of her testimony, the contestants
called Agnes Swift of Washington
.owa. who with Miss Rooney of st.
Anthony's hospital. attended Father
Macl1in until his death
Thought Him Mentally Weak.
The witness. who is a graduate of
ST. Anthony's training school, said that
10 DAYS before Mather Mackin's death
she was assigned as day nurse to at
tend him, and with Miss Rooney nurs-
ed him until his death. She detailed
her work as a nurse, and told of the
patients condition. She said that's in
talking with Father Mackin it was
necessary to rouse him from a semi
stuDor and that hts conversations with
Bishop Davis, Mr. McEniry, and ac-
quaintances who called. was very linn
tied. When Bishop Davis called. she
testified, it required quite an effort on
Father Mackin's part to recall the
bishop to his mind. She said that the
priest was weak physically and men
tally.
Initiates Priests Speech.
On cross examination it was sought
to show that her opportunities were
too limited for Miss Swift to form an
opinion as TO Father Mackin's mental
condition. but she insisted that his
mental cloudiness was manifested by
everything he did. She initiated his
actions on her first visit. his long paus-
es between words. and effort to collect
his thoughts and arouse himself from
the stupor with which he was afflicted.
again CaII Mrs. Beam.
The examination of Mrs. Beam was
resumed. and the attorneys for the con-
tCstants asked her a large number of
questions embodying the points ruled
out by the court, in order TO preserve
the legal questions involved. The
witness was not allowed to answer
these, but narrated visits to Father
Mackin and his visits TO her home, and
of gifts to her. She said that when in
Cable Father Mackin requested her
mother to sell her property there and
remove to Hershey .Neb., and stated
that he had over 1000 acres of land
there, and would build her home
that she might have forever. This evil
dence pTecipitated another legal con-
troversy. the proponents objectinS that
it came within the ruling of the court
made at the opening of the case in the
afternoon The matter was not decld-
ed until this morning, when the court
ruled the evidence admissible. and the
examination of Mrs. Beam was re-
Sumed.

The proposition of Congressman Kahn, of California, to- oappropri- ate $2O,000for hospital at Bristol sa@, is a brilliant measure from iie standpoint of the cannery com 3amies, nnt to.a disinteres,ed citi- nn, of Alaska it looks as though ahs. nonay' couad' be expended to better advantage on lighthouses, mads,. er something that would benefit the country in general. Practically the entire population of the Bristol bay country is. com posed of cannerymeu, wh" go to the States in the winter. Why should the government provide hospitals for these corporations? Hhey pay less taxes proporlionate- lT than any business in Alaska, and should be compelled to fur ni+' their own hospitals the same as smaller corporations must do.

Senate For Lock Canal.

Washington, June 22-The senate
took a position in accord with the
president and the house Of represen-
tatives by declaring for a lock canal
across the isthmus of Panama. The
result was reached after a discussion
that was almost devoid Of interesting
incident. There was only one record
ed vote in connection with the disposi-
tion of the question and that was mega
tive in character, coming on a motion
to lay on the table the lock type sub
stitute for the sea-level bill reported
by the committee on interoceanic ca
nal. This motion was made by Sen
ator Kittredge. the committee cham
pion of the sea-levsl plan, and was
voted down, 81 to SO. The vote is gen.
orally accepted as ending long con-
test and definitely settling the type of
the great waterway.

CORONATION
OF King Haskon enu Queen Maud.
Brilliant Event.

Trondhiem, June 22.-With a cere-
monial modified from the old Morse
forms TO meet the modern democratic
spirit of the country, King Haakon
VII and Queen Maud, at noon, in the
old Trondhiem cathedral, were anoint-
ed, blessed and given Norway's
crowns. When nearly 40 years ago
King Oscar of Sweden received the
crown, he barred his breast and eccle-
siastics dressed it with sacred oils,
according to the customs Of older
days. King Haakon was anOinted only
on the forehead and wrists, and the
entire rite was simpler. The king and
queen entered the cathedral at IL
o'clock. King Haakon was crowned
first and Queen Maud afterward, with
practically the same ceremony. There
were 5000 persons present, that num-
ber representing the capacity OF the
edifice.

Uncle Sam Can't Interfere.

New York. June 21. - A telegram
from President Roosevelt relative to
the recent massacre of Jews in Russia
was read at a mass meeting Of Jews
in this city. In il the president said:
II shall go over the matter with Sec
rotary Root. You know how deeply
we sympathize with your feelings and
how shocked and Mortified we are at
what has occurred in Russia. but you
know also how well nigh impossible it
is to accomplish anything but harm by
interferences." The mass meeting was
held at the Jewish synagogue in Nor
folk street to lament the death Of the
Jews in the recent massacres at Bia-
lystOk.
