LOCAL FIRM GETS BIG FEE
SENATOR OWEN REQUIRED TO
PAY $4,000 WITH INTEREST.
Opinions Handed Down by the
Court of Appeals-Insurance
Case Decision.

Senator Robert l.. Owen of Oklahoma
is required to pay the local law firm OF
Dudley & Kitchener the sum of $4,000.
with interest. for services rendered by
them in connection with the allowance
of the s5.000.O0O claim to the Cherokee In
dams by the last Congress, for which
Senator Owen received an attorneys fee
of s150,000. This is the opinion rendered
today by the District Court of Appeals
through Mr.. Justice Robb.
The appellate court reverses the judg-
ment of the District Supreme Court,
which found in favor of Senator Owen.
The case was not tried before a jury.
but was submitted to Mr.. Justice
Wright on the contract and proof and he
found for the defendant. Dudley & Mich
ener appealed and Mr. Justice Robb, in
concluding his opinion. says: appellants
nave rendered Owen the services they
agreed to render and he has reaped the
benefit. He was to pay them out of his
fees unless he should be compelled to col
lect his fees under existing law. The
legislation hoped for and contemplated
by the contract was enacted, and upon the
allowance of Owens fees we think it
was incumbent upon him to pay appel
lants.'
Attorneys Charles Poe and S. A. Put
man represented Dudley & Kitchener.
Lower Court Sustained.
In an opinion by Chief Justice Shepard
the Court of Appeals affirmed the judg-
ment of the District Supreme Court in
the case of Kathryn f. Lear, who sued
the Prudential Insurance Company to re-
cover on a policy of 81 600. under which
she was the beneficiary. Verdict and judg-
mcnt were rendered in her favor in the
lower court and the insurance company
appealed. The chief justice In concluding
his opinion said there was no direct evil
dence that the deceased knew or even
suspected that she had anemia, pernicious
or otherwise. when the policy was issued
and the question of her good faith was
properly left to the jury
The court also rendered opinions in
eleven patent appeal cases. affirming the
decision of the commissioner of patents
in nine of them. His decision was re-
versed in the case of the Kentucky Dis
tilleries and Warehouse Company against
the Old Lexington Club Distilling Com
pany. which involved the registering Of
the words "Old Lexington Club as a
trade mark for whisky. In the matter OF
the application of Edgar H. Shelton for

ret, who was abducted more than a week
ago from Philadelphia. and who made

planned that she was unable to bear the

ing previously been raised for that pur-

that the administration of antitoxin and
an operation were found to be necessary.

and DR.. l.. II. Taylor, member OF the
staff at George Washington University
Hospital, performed the operation
No further action has been taken In
the case by the police. nor is it likely that
any will be taken unless McCreary should
die. 1t is likely the charge against Rep
resentative Heflin will be changed to man
slaughter in event of the death of the
trainer. Such change in the charge
would mean that the defendant would
to appear at the inquest over the body
of McCreary.
Mrs. McCreary has remained at the hos
pital with her husband most of the time
he has been there.
McCreary's Condition Is Serious.
"Mr. McCreary's condition is very seri-
ous," declared Drs. J. J. Wharton and
l.. H. Taylor. who are attending him. to
Star reporter this morning. The two
physicians had just left the bedside of the
sick man in the George Washington Uni
versity Hospital, after administering a
dose of antitoxin.
"Tetanus developed Sunday. and yester-
day he was taken with commissions. indi-
eating that his condition is precarious' -
stated DR.. Wharton. DIR. Taylor per-
formed an operation last night to again
clean out the wound and to learn it's con-
dtion. Commissions followed the opera
ton. but they ceased later, and that gives
us hope.
1t was also explained by the two physi-
clans that the jaws of the patient had
been firmly set but that they did not
seem to be SO rigid following the opera
ton. This morning. however. the jaws
again became firmly set, and it was de-
cided to administer antitoXin. Another
dose was given early this afternoon.
Representative Helm Calls.
Representative ]. T. Hef1in, who fired
the shot which has placed McCreary so
near death, called at the hospital this
morning and asked to see him. On &C
count of the serious condition of the
patient however. the request was re-
fused. The private room. in which Nc
Creary is confined is closely guarded,
and no one except the nurses and doctors
in attendance on the case are allowed to
enter.
1T was thought best not to let Mr..
Heflin see him this morning" stated DR..
Wharton, when asked about the visit of
the representative. Mr.. Heflin has been
very attentive through the trouble. and
of Mr.. McCreary. And during his sick
ness Mr.. McCreary has not had any i'll
feeling toward Mr.. Hef1in. He regards it
as unfortunate accident
The grit. cheerfulnesS and wiry consti-
tuition of the patient have kept McCreary
alive, it was learned d the hospital this
morning. Although his jaws have been
set. it is declared. he has been cheerful
and has never lost hope.

FEW FREAKS IN ARCHITECTURE.
Eccentricity on the Part of Those
 Building and Furnishing Houses.

Instances of eccentricity on the part of those building and furnishing houses are common enough in every community The following instances of freakishness in that regard may be cited in illustration of certain phases.
 A Russian gentleman has erected at a cost of 5000 rubles on his country estate at Savinowka, in Podolia, a 16- room house made entirely of paper This house, which was constructed in New York, is calculated by it's archi- tect to last longer than would a stone building. The whole of the furniture, too is made from the same material.
 In County Westmeath, Ireland a house has been built whereof all the windows are made to resemble in out line the backs of of easy chairs, being thus constructed by it's eccentric own ger to match the backs of a set of chairs in the dining-room.
 In Connecticut a certain land owner, thinking that the view from his house lacked a church, proceeded to supply it's place by erecting row of cottages so designed as to resemble, from his side, the edifice required. Approached from the other direction, however, the sham is at once manifest.
 Some years ago man of scientific attainments, as we'll as of considerable means, elected to live in a tree in suburb of Washington-that is, he en- joyed his leisure moments in the branches of the tree itself, where he had caused to be built a platform large enough to accommodate easy chairs and such other furniture as he desired to make use of during the day
 At the base of the tree, however, and surrounding it was built a struc- ture of brick and stone inclosing the sleeping apartments of this eccentric individual. For many years this unique residence was one of the sights of the national capital.
 One of the oldest houses ever con- structed was the fruit of a French mans inventive fancy. This was the revolving house." a structure actual ly built upon casters, so to speak, in order that the occupant might by means of all ingenious mechanism at any time roll it about, obtaining what. ever light and air his fancy dictated.
