The startling assertion was made dur

surviving executor and trustee OF the es-
tate OF his father Robert Adams. Sr.. by
his stepmother. Mrs Robert Adams, Sr..
and his stepsister. Mrs. Charles Moran.

Counsel for III. Carlton Adams told the

Carlton Adams. Ii was stated the con-
gresham and III. Carlton Adams had

alleged missing bonds had been kept and
that as far back as five years III. Carlton

found.
1t was also claimed that a part OF the
accumulated income OF his fathers es-
tate, OF which Congressman Adams had
charge. was unaccounted for.
In proof OF his assertion, the attorney
for III. Carlton Adams produced I'm court
"A letter from the dead congressman writ
ten in Washington the day he ended his
life. i'm which he said he was sorry no
had caused a mess" and urged that II.
Carlton Adams be not held responsible
for any securities that might be missed.
Ii Is thought that counsel, upon in

come to a satisfactory agreement without
further airing the affairs OF the dead

HAS IDEAS FOR
RHODE ISLAND

"I believe / may yet witness, standing
safely at a distance. the rise OF new
Dorr In Rhode Island who viii get YOU
some rights. as did that one OF half a
century ago" said George Fred Williams
OF Massachusetts to the Radical club In
Gelbs parlors last evening
Mr.. Williams said thas the adoption OF
the initiative and referendum would do
away with much OF the political corrup-
ton OF today, I'm that II would preclude
the passage OF the sort OF legislation
which was known 10 be inimical 10 the
best interests OF the people and opposed 10
their will
1T would prevent the giving away OF
million-dollar franchises" he said. 1T
would compel legislators TO act for the
welfare OF the whole people, since they
would be proceeding with the conscious
ness that bad enactments would be killed
I'm the referendum. Especially does
Rhode Island, With an antQuated conSt-
tuition, need IL, for II would do much
toward bringing about a better condition
OF things.
Constitutions should be held in rever-
ence only so far as they conserve the
good OF the people. and in themselves
should not be regarded as sacred. Laws
promulgated i00 years ago and suitable
TO conditions then are not applicable to-
undreamed OF by the people OF that time
10 overcome. and the whole structure OF
popular government being made so often
a means OF subserving the ends OF the few.
Through the Initiative and referendum.
We have a means OF getting back 10 the
good old Democratic idea that no consti-
tuition has the right 10 stand single day
after a majority OF the people have shown
that they do not want IL.
The initiative and referendum would
prevent corruption, because. instead OF
having merely TO buy a floating majority
in a legislature, the corporations would
have to buy majority OF the whole
people II they desired the passage OF in
iquitous measures or franchise-grabblns
schemes.
"Sun another advantage. and perhaps
the greatest. is the educational one.
Every important question at once be-
comes OF public interest, because the
public themselves are TO decide H. They
at once begin 20 study IL up As things
are now Il Is not necessary 10 know any
thing about public questions TO be poll
tician. Sometimes 10 is a handicap II you
do.

wanted But the politicians didn't know
anything about public ownership. and

No man has a right 10 call himself good

public questions There Is all together too
much voting for Lincoln and Jackson.
