the War Department this morning for
the first time since the shooting.
Gen. Hams came to inquire az to the
military status of his son, Capt. Peter
c. Hams, jr, Coast Artillery Corps. now
absent from his post at Fort Hancock
without leave.
Capt. Hams was recently ordered to re-
port to the commandant at Fort Han
cock and was granted leave of absence,
which expired a few days after the shoot
ing occurred.
Being in custody of the civil authori-
ties Of New York. he naturally could not
report as ordered. and to find out this
exact status was the reason of his
fathers visit to the War Department to-
day.
The post commander has evidently re-
ported Capt. Hams as absent without
leave to Gen. Grant, commanding the
Department of the East but no official
information to that effect has reached
the War Department. Gen. Hams was
advised to write a letter stating the cir
cumstances Of the case and make formal
application for an extension Of Capt.
Hams leave. Upon the receipt OF that
letter the department will act.
There is no doubt that satisfactory ar
rangements will be made to fix the on
GERS status. as there is no desire to
PREJUDICE the merits OF the civil proceed
ings.

Will nGn1 FOR MILLIONS
MRS. THOMAS GARY OF THIS
CITY AFTER OLD ESTATE.
Wilmington Property, Originally
Owned by John HUM, Now Said
to Be Worth 500, 1000, 900.

Claiming that she is one of the heirs to
an estate in Wilmington, Del, estimated
to be worth $4,000. 600, Mrs. Thomas
Gary Of 211O 18th street northwest is In
constant communication with lawyers
who think they can straighten out real
estate tangle that had its inception be-
fore the middle of the last century.
The land originally belonged to John
HUM. His daughter married Caesar Au-
gustus Rodney, attorney general under
Presidents Jefferson and Madison. Mrs.
Gary is a direct descendant of Rodney.
The land in question was leased by the
family to Swedish church in Whining
ton for ninet y-nne years, and when the
lease expired in 1852 a man named
Springer stepped into the tangle some
where and released the land In his own
name, according to Mrs. Gary. In the
meantime the Rodney heirs had amassed
considerable money and the leased land
was overlooked by them, and at that
time was of no great value. Since then II
has increased wonderfully in value.
Mrs. Gary has had long experience with
lawyers and courts, and fought out one
suit for nine years. at the end OF which
time she was successful in getting $S,oUo
from an old estate that some of the de-
scendants of the old Rodneys had been en-
loving all to themselves. That had moth
ing to do with the present large -hSht
which she is preparing to undertake.
She has had the matter under consldera-
ton a long time, and has investigated
it so thoroughly that she IS nrm
in her belief that she will be able TO
prove absolute ownership for the de-
scendants of the first Rodney.
Benjamin Springer's Claim.
The matter was stirred up in the news
papers last June, when Benjamin Springer
of Okiah, Cal, said through the news
papers that he was the lawful heir to the
same estate and would take legal steps
to establish his claim. He claims that
man of his name owned the land In 1139,
and that the estate was never settled.
Mrs. Gary says that she never heard or a
Springer in connection with the land be-
fore the Californian put in his claim.
Mrs. Gary is silent as to what her I'M
mediate plans are. When asked whether
she intended to go to Wilmington soon
she made an evasive reply.
She has four children. a son and three
daughters. Her husband died about three
months ago. He was at one time post
master at Galveston, Texas.

has been taken up in different sections OF
