 Mrs. Richardson.


 Mrs. Richardson.
 New York. Feb. 14.--A suit for ser- vices rendered as an alienist in a will contest. which Dr. Allen Fitch has brought against Mrs. Emma Richard. son, widow of Jose h Richardson, the architect, gives a fair. insight against the charges for services such as are being rendered In the Thaw trial.
 pr. Fitch, who. with several ex- perts, was engaged in 1909 by Mrs. Richardson, to combat the evidence offered by her son. George. and her daughter, Della, to show the irrespon- sibility of their father, asks for the balance of bill of s23.5o0, which is about $e.500. Dr. Fitch was not even called to prove the sanity of the testa- tor. as the experts of the contestants at the time did not pove their case. Mrs. Richardson refuses to pay on the ground that the services were not worth what was demanded.

PUZZLED BY EVIDENCE.
WALL STREET IN DOUBT.
Testimony of Mr.. Hartman and
Otto III. Kahn in inquiry Incomplete.

Much uncertainty regarding the outcome OF
the investigation Of the Hartman railroads by
the Interstate Commerce Commission has been
manifested in the financial district since the
taking Of testimony closed in this city. TIE
disclosures made in the inquiry have been the
subject of general talk by men interested IN rail-
road securities, and many have expressed the be-
lief that the evidence before the commission has
failed 10 disclose any violation Of the federal
laws governing interstate traffic
The mass of testimony taken has been sum-
married as bearing the following questions
at issue in the investigation:
FTrst-The right of the Union Pacific system
to own controlling blocks of securities OF other
railroads, particularly OF relIPoa9s Which are III
competition with the Union Pacific
Second-The legality Of Union Pacifc's owner

Thrd-The effect of such ownership and con

OTTO II. KAHN's TESTIMONY.
The most important testimony bearing
the right of the Union Pacific to own stock Of
a competing line was given by Otto H. Kahn. OF
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. He admitted that he knew,
when he was arranging for the sale of n large
block Of Northern Pacific stock TO the Union
Pacific that the Northern Pacific had stock
control OF the Burlington. a business rival Of
the Union Pacific. Asked directly why the
Union Pacific sought TO acquire the control
OF a connecting line in violation Of law" Mr.
Kahn said:
II occurred to me to the extent it was a factor
IN determining the risk We ran. We bought
the Northern Pacific stock at a very great risk,
legal and otherwise. We offered il to the Union
Pacific hut was one of the fifteen who deter
mined the Union Pacific should buy that stock
but when we finally came to decide whether IL
should buy H. ! declined TO vote the CUES
should ask on the matter. We did it, knowing
we were advised the Oregon Short Line would
| have the right 10 hold that Northern Pacific
{ stock.
II was brought out In the testimony Of +. H.
Hartman and Mr.. Kahn that the Union Pacific
had made a profit Of about S63000O0O in buy
ing and selling Northern Pacific stock After

|iy. after much caution, the hunters. with the
aid of stick ten feet long, beat down the
palmettoes enough to see the scaly head
raised out of "a gopher hole. So angry and
fierce he looked that it faily unnerved the
hunters. and they shot no less than SIX
times before they hit him. Then, with fork
ed stick. the snake was pulled out of its re-
treat. and found to measure five feet ten
inches in length and twelve inches around
the centre of the body. The hunters imme-
diately scattered, declaring that not for all
the quail in Florida would they risk encoun-
tering another such reptile.
Hank Jones and Rob Tucker were hunting
one day. near the head of Newman Lake,
when Rob caught sight of doe. and wound
ed her. and as she bounded into the woods
the two hunters followed. Rob was the more
expert runner. and running ahead of his com
panion, turned corner in the path leading
to the prairie, and almost ran over a huge
buck. which was standing underneath big
oak tree. the wounded deer lying at his feet
Rob could not check his progress. and fell
violently against the buck, which gave him
push with its horns. and sent him off
dozen feet on to the ground, knocking the
gun out Of his hands. Rob was half way
up on his feet when the buck bounded for
ward. and with a powerful twist of its head

pended n>the air, just above the bucks reach
The latter was frantic with rage by this
time, and began jumping at the hunter In
"a few moments Hank made his appearance;
but the buck heard him coming. and, with a
rush, jammed him into thicket of under
brush. Leaving him. the buck again jumped
at Rob- when Hank picked up his gun fred.
and missed. The buck came at him in a
twinkhng. and Hank was up tree in a mo-
ment. The buck seemed TO enjoy the joke
by this time. and trotted back and forth be.
tween the two hunters, making efforts to
reach both of them. Meanwhile Rob strue-
gled with all his might to get on the branch:
but he was winded and weak, and at the next
jump of the buck he let go his hold and
fell on the animals back The buck, as
founded, began jumping and bucking like
Texas pony, but Rob held on desperately to
the animals horns. Then the buck started
off at. terrific rate Of speed, and crashed
into big oak stump, knocking itself sense
less and throwing it's rider a rod away.
Hank. who had seen the turn of affairs, hast
ily descended from his perch, ran to the buck
and gave it death blow with his knife.
The wounded deer escaped, and the hunters
were too tired to undertake q long hunt af-
ter her.

off and struck in the tree. taking good slice

bear furious and he rushed at Bullard. The
tree rocked. and down they both went into
