made before Justice Mccall in Part Of the Sn-
preme Court yesterday morning 70 have Dr. CId' ne
w Dunlop retired. OF No. 1l2 West s6th street
declared an incompetent statements were Haue
Of duress and attempts 10 get possesSloh o' q
large fortune
Gilbert r. Hawes, lawyer. representing twenty
two nephews and nieces Of Dr. Dunlop. made the
statements. He told the court that DR.. Dunlop
was suffering from paresis and incompetent
10 manage his affairs. He said the doctor was
sixty-three years old and was worth 100000.
Besides owning a residence at No. 112 West S6th
street. he had large real estate holdings in Kan
sas City and Chicago and large deposits in various
banks. He charged that the doctors wife. Mrs.
Eliza Dunlop. who IS seventy-fve years old, was
trying get possession of the doctors estate, to
the exclusion of the doctors relatives.
TIawes told the court that s. Harvey Dunlop had
unknown TO any OF the doctors relatives, removed
him to the Hilgert Institute No. 81 West 2sth
street
This is the man" continued Hawes. aluding to
Hngert, who is the dealer in the magic boots.
He alleges that these have curative properties
Dr. Dunlop ought not TO be under his care. This
IIilgert has designs upon DR.. Dunlops wife. He
intends to marry her if she becomes a widow
DR. Dunlop. according 10 Hawes. has frequently
begged 10 be taken 10 his home. Hawes said that
Dr.. Dunlop is incapable of managing his own af-
fairs. The doctor ought to have committee Of
the person. and his property ought to be safe
guarded, Bawes said.
Ex-Justice E S. Clinch opposed Halves. He said
that Dr. Dunlop has not got paresis, but is af-
fected by an@mia OF the blood. Mr. Clinch said
the doctor is improving in health and IS much
better now than he three months ago. His
wife is tie proper person to for him, he said
although she Is about seventy-llve years old.
She IS strong physically and mentally, and IS a
loving and devoted wife. Mr.. Clinch said, in con-
clusion:
''The petitioners in this are four of the
twenty-five nephews and nieces of DR.. Dunlop and
one the latter IS the wife OF the lawyer for the
application. That may account for his undue zeal
and glowing accounts about the doctors treat
ment. His application should be denied"
Mr.. Hawes said that he would prove that the
doctor was compelled TO wear the magic boots"
in the Hngert Institute, and that in doing he
had frequently fallen down and injured himself.
Justice Mccall reserved decision.

TEST OF CHARACTER.

The test of character may be found in the
faithful discharge of trust where it may be
abused in secret and with seeming fmpunity.
Every man has his sphere OF fiduciary obliga-
ton. l speak of 1t not IN the narrowest sense
in which the term is employed in courts of
law. but In the broader sense recognized by
every man of self-respect. The lawyer owes It
to his profession TO rain ain the dignity of in
dependence, and is false TO the trust conferred
upon him when he is admitted to lotice as an
officer OF Justice If he permits himself to be-
come the tool OF unprincped manipulatOrs.
The editor shamelessly ignores his obligation
when he hides distorts the facts or uses his
columns to pervert the public judgment.
or highest Importance is the sentiment of
honor and the sense of fducary obligation in
connection with public service. The people will
tolerate no cynicism here, Parties may dispute
as they will over principles and policies, but
there can be no dispute with reference TO the
demand that public privileges shall be granted
only in the public interest and that public
officers shall regard only the public interest in
the administration OF government
The cry Every man for himself Is out OF
date. The demand of the future will be Every
man for the people" No one can be permitted
to put private interest above the public adyan-
