longing to the estate OF the late Ellen

sum. The charges OF embezzlement

F. Walker. Walter J. Bartnett, and J.
DalzeH Brown OF the California Safe
Deposit and Trust Company, also hinge
on today's disclosures.

protect the personal estate OF Mrs Col
ton, were notified yesterday that Judge
Davis mad Issued the order 20 open the

ute"
Siegfried Sanchez. OF Paris, father OF

MARS IS INHABITED,
PROFESSOR TODD HOLDS

Mars Is inhabited" At least so says
Prof. David Todd, Of Amherst College
and director Of the recent Lowell ex-
peditiOn 10 the Andes for astronomical
observation.
DR.. Todd lectured at the Belasco The
ater yesterday. He said the planet was
In all probability the home Of plant and
animal life and that the Martians have
lessons to teach the earth by wireless
telephone and telegraph. He told an
about the atmosphere, the desert. and
the vegetation, the seasons with the
winter SHOWS, and the summer belts of
vegetation. This much, he says, is fact,
the rest reasonable logical speculation.

John KASS0N IMPROVES;

Former Minister to Germany John a.
kasson, who has been confined to home
1I26 / street northwest. for more than
two weeks by an attack Of the grin. Is
reported much improved and his recov-
cry seems a certainty.
DR.. Yarrow, the attending physician

soon be a marked tendency to take
goods out Of warehouses and pay the
duty on them The warehouses are
overhowing, and II would be a large
boon to the customs returns II the du-
ties were paid on the impOrtations that
are In storage. It is also thought that
delayed shipments viii be set in motion
for this country.
As to the internal revenue receipts
which declined S6000.0O0 in December
over December the preceding year, the
officials Of the Internal Revenue Bureau
say they are hopeful Of a change for
the better after January 1. Because
OF the difficulty OF getting money. many
Of the big distillers and manufacturers
or liquor have not taken their goods
OUT or the warehouses. The law re-
quires the revenues to be paid in cash
and it has been hard TO get cash.
Look for Normal Receipts.
Now that money is becoming easier.
II is thought the internal revenue re-
ceipts VIII turn back 20 normal.
So far as can be learned. the public
has not, by reason Of the financial lun.
cut down on the amount OF ''IiiIker' II
has consumed. nor is II seriously ex-
pected that the consumption OF drinks
will be affected adversely by New Year
resolutions.
Smoking and chewing has gone on
as before. Consequently when manu-
facturers can find the cash T. pay
revenues. as they will probably De able
to do now, they will get their goods out
~ warehouses and on the market This
IS the way the internal revenue officials
feel about II. at any rate, and they
nre looking forward TO the New Year
with optimism
