FAMILY TROUBLES
AIRED IN COURT
SISTERS TRY TO BREAK WILL
Al. OF MOTHER
Two Are Left Only $500 Each, While
the Third Receives Bulk of
Fortune Estimated at
100000

Relentless family war for the pos
session of a 100000 estate left by the
| late Mrs. Isabel Dotter is being Waged
before Judge RiVes in department two
of the superior court and today MISS
Idella Dotter, the chief beneficiary and
also the star witness in the case, VIII
probably be sent to the witness stand.
Yesterday one of the daughters who
failed to receive more than $1OO of the
estate was on the stand testifying on
behalf of herself and her sister. 1della,
who received the estate in lump sum,
is defendant against her two sisters,
who are seeking to have the Will set
aside.
The whole story of the case rests on
the last illness of Mrs. Dotter. For
some time she had been afflicted with
dropsy in a malignant form. She had
also suffered the loss of one eye and
she was unable to move without the
assistance of some one. Her weight in
creased at a fearful rate and accord
ing to the allegations of the will, Idella,
one of the daughtersg was the only one
of the children who helped and assisted
her mother during the last painful
hours of her life.
The real property and a considerable
sum of personal property in the form
of stocks, altogether valued at 100000,
is deeded TO lQella by the uetdllS Oh
the will, while the other two daughters
and the son are allowed but 800 each.
Sisters in Conflict
Contest of the will is conducted by
the two girls. Both are married and
their husbands are aiding in fighting
the case. George Dotter, the son, is
favoring his sister Idella, since 1t is
understood she has provided well for
him since her mothers death.
During the contest will of prior
date has been filed in which Idella is
named as a beneficiary to receive slight
recognition over the others. This will
has been produced to show that the
mother had regard for all her children
at that time and that the later will
might have been made when Mrs. Dot
ter was not in her right mind.
The contestants allege that while
Idella was alleged to have been attend
ing her invalid mother she was in fact
on tour of the east. Yesterday after
noon one of the sisters was on the wit
ness stand during the entire afternoon.
1t is thought that Miss Idella, who is
experimenting, in person, her side Of
the case, will take the stand this after
noon for the first time since the begin
ming of the trial, and her testimony
promises to be interesting.

Maine was one of the first States to use

that Co. NJ. has made the best showing

Tree That Xlelda MILK.

In South America is a remarkable
tree growing in the valley of the
Amazon. It's sap is a. milk singular
ly like the finest cows milk. 1t is
highly nutritious and will mix with
water hot or cold, and never curdles
i'm hot mixtures. it keeps good for
week. even in this climate, and has
much the taste of cows milk I'm
which cinnamon has been stepped.
IL is thicker than ordinary milk, and
has the feeling I'm the mouth of liquid
juice. If left standing for time a
thick oily cream arises. When dry
this has the consistency OF wax.
Paul Fountain, a recent traveller in
South America, says he has drunk
large quantities of It, both as It came
from the tree and also mixed with
tea or cocoa, with which II combines
better than cows milk. He declares
that II IS extremely nourishing
When he could get this sap he al
ways preferred It 90 cows milk. The
sap is obtained either by wounding
the bark OF the trunk or by breaking
the smaller branches IL runs freely,
so that several quarts may be obtain
ed from a single tree I'm the course

Ordering the Seasons.

Among the strange duties of the
Emperor of China is one that neces-
states his ordering the seasons. 1t
is summer In America when the sun
warns the earth, and not till then,
but in China 1t is summer when the
Emperor says 1t is summer. AS soon
as the Son of Heaven declares that
summer has come, everyone In China
puts off winter clothing and arrays
himself In summer garb, no matter
what his feelings may say on the
subject All domestic arrangements
are made to suit the season, as pro-
claimed by His Imperial Majesty, al
though they may not suit the individ-
ual at ALL
The nearest approach to the Chin
csc custom of ordering the seasons is
the practice observed in France in all
public buildings. There it is winter
on and after October l. Fires are
then lighted in all government Offices
and the servants exchange their
white summer waistcoats for the
thicker and darker ones of winter.
AT that date the public libraries are
closed at 4. and in the streets the
sellers of roasted chestnuts make
their appearance. In official France
1t is winter, no matter what the wea.
Their may say and no mater what I'M
official France may think.-Philadel.
