MONEY FOR MRS. INGERSoLL
Widow of Famous Speaker Wins
LOng-COntested Suit In SUI
rpreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE supreme
court Of the United States today de ided In
favor of Mrs. Ingersoll the case of Mrs.
Eva A. sIngers1ll, widow of the late Robert
G. Ingersol, against j seph Coram and TIL
ers, involving a claim Of SlOO'OW by M s.
Ingersoll on account o. services rendered
by her husband in the breaking Of the will
Of tho late Andrew j. Davis, a Montana
mill onaire.
Davis left property both in Montana and
Massachusetts. Ingersoll was employed by
some Of the disinherited relatives of Davis
on a written contract TO pay him a fee Of
500. 600 on the condition that the VIII should
be defeated. A case involving the validity
OF the will was announced in Montana and
the Jury disagreed. A compromise then
was arranged whereby the relatives who
brought the suit were given a portion Of
the estate. They paid Ingersoll 5000, but
after his death the widow instituted pro-
ceedings to recover the entire fee, claiming
that the compromise was the result of her
husbands efforts. -
The case has been much in the courts. Il
was first decided by the district court for
the Second judicial district in Montana
against Mrs. Ingersoll on the grounds that
she had no cause of action and the Mon
tana supreme court affirmed that verdict
On the other hand. the United States cir
cult court for Massachusetts held for Mrs.
Ingersoll, but the finding of that tribunal
was reversed by the circuit court of APP
peals for the first circuit on the grounds
that the Montana adjudication was final
and the decision rendered today was on a
review OF the decision of the court OF APP

THE STORY.

THE prophecy which the prophet
Jonah had spoken concerning the
political revival Of Israel and the re-
covery Of the coast line which years
before had been lost to the hostile ma
tions round about had proved a pop
ular message, as was to be expected,
and everywhere the prophet went he
was enthusiastically received. His
words inspired the people with the
one purpose of bringing about that
which the prophet had said should
come to pass.
King Jereboam, who during the
early part Of his reign was inclined
to rest content with the victories
which his father had won, and who
apparently had no military aspirations
other than that of keeping what he
already possessed, was at first dis
posed to receive the message of Jonah
with skeptical mind, declaring that the
recovery Of the uttermost borders of
Israel was impossible, for their en-
emies were strong and Israers forces
weak.
But as the popular feeling had risen
and swept over the land, unifying the
nation with the one impulse of re-
gaining lost territory, he had caught the
spirit of the movement, and was soon
the most enthusiastic leader Of the
nation, displaying military genius
even greater than that which his IA
ther had shown before him.
Jonah watched these DEVELOPMENTS
with profound satisfaction and graft
tude to God. His message to the na-
ton had been one to which his whole
being had responded, for there was
no more loyal or devoted Israelite in
oil the land than he. He knew his
country's history, and he knew her
needs, and had it not been that the
spirit of God had laid hold Of his in
tense nature and held him for a re-
ligious life, he undoubtedly would have
plunged into the army life and per-
haps become one of the great leaders
Of the army of Israel.
AS it was, however, in his office as
prophet to the nation he was destined
to play an important part, and he
threw himself into the work of reviv-
ing the national spirit and unifying
the forces of Israel. Back and forth
through the length and breadth of the
land he went preaching his message
and arousing the people.
1t was from one of these trips he
bad just returned to Samaria, and
Iound the king had caught the spirit
of the movement and was wait
