SanRuiuarv Conflict,


Some Of the gang got stung. literally. last
Friday, and today the crowd, consisting Of
five -colored boys-William Washington,
Sonny Taylor Robert Robertson, Reginald
Parker and William Watkins-was ar
raigned before Judge DeLacy in the
Juvenile Court and charged with stealing
q bee hive and the bees in 1t. Judge De-
Lacy heard the testimony and decided the
boys were guilty. He ordered them to be
placed under the care Of Probation officer

The lads were all friends, and last Friday
one Of them told the others there was a
bee hive on top Of the hill at 25th and NJ
streets northwest and that 1t was full OF
honey. 1t was proposed that they all go
after that honey.
One boy went only part Of tho way up
the hill. when several bees, guessing his
purpose, perhaps, came buzzing about his
head, and for the next few minutes the boy
was sprinting down the hill toward Rock
creek. He finally reached the creek and
plunged into the water to get rid of the
bees Others Of the party were also OBJ
jects OF attack, but some reached the hive.
took charge Of 1t and captured part OF
the honey.
That honey was sweet, wasn't it, boys?'
Judge DeLacy inquired.
Deed, didn't get any, cause I was
stung," replied one.
II wish the bees had stung all Of you
worse" commented the Judge. After toll
ing the boys not to take what did not be-
long to them his honor gave them their
freedom, but stipulated they should remain
under the watchful eyes of the court Q
probation officers.

MIR. WARNER GIVES REASONS
EXPLAINS CHARGE OF DECEIT
AGAINST HIS STEPMoTHER.
Says That as Executor Of His Fathers
Estate He Is Endeavoring to
Garry Out His Wishes.

In discussing the charge made by him
that his stepmother has negro blood YES
pasian Warner. commissioner Of pensions,
told an Evening Star reporter today that
he had made this accusation only after try
ing every means to get Mrs. Isabella Robin
son Warner to cease her fight against the
ante-nuptial agreement made with Mr..
Warmers father, and to accept that, with
parcel Of real estate, worth $4,000, In
addition. He said that he offered her $780,
600 cash, which was refused.
my father agreed with his second wife
that at his death she should receive $4,000
cash and an annuity OF $500" said Mr..
Warner. Mrs Warner charges that my
father was guilty Of deception In conceal
ing from her the extent of his fortune,
contraryto the Illinois law. I. therefore,
after exhausting all means Of compromise.
brought the counter-charge OF deception
against Mrs. Warner, accusing her OF con-
cealing the fact that she had black blood
knowledge that her Esther had negro blood
was about a quarterback, in fact. He
lived in the abolitiontst district OF Ohio and
married q white woman. My father saw
first time meeting her on a train.
MY father had four children, two by his
first wife and two by his second. The two
daughters OF the second wife were treated
by my fathers win exactly like myself and
my sister, but my father made me his eK-
ecutor and left particular directions that
l should see that the ante-nuptial agree
ment was carried out with the addition OF
$50, 900 worth Of real estate. I think that
he did not know his wife had negro blood,
but for some reason he did not wish her
to have dover rights Ia the estate. am en-
deavoring to carry out my fathers wishes,
though the publicity 10 repusnant to me.
Yet I must act in the interests Of the
other heirs. The charge OF deception would
never have been brought against Mrs. War
ner unless she had tlrst accused my father
Judge cochrans Of the circuit court at
Clinton, III. has the case under advise
ment. The Warner estate amounts to
about $1.50e 600. and the widows dover
rights would be one-third Of this sum.
