CHARGES Of FRAUD
DENIED BY LOPEZ

A. j. Lopez has fled answer to the
complaint of William Savidge, trustee
of the Barete estate, against Richard
Antoine ct al. He denies Maria Barete s
dover interest in the leasehold men
toned. He says that when the lease
hold was assigned to him it was not
valuable, but a liability to the estate of
Manuel Barete.
1t is admitted that Richard Antoine,
as executor of the estate, did assign
all Barete's interest in the lease, but
denied that the assignment was pre-
tended or the consideration fictitious.
The lease was not then worth $1,000
he says, but the payment of arrears of
rent thereon by himself was a fair con-
sideration.
He leaves complainant to his proof
of the allegation that the assignment
was made without am order of court,
at the same time denying that it was
without notice to parties in interest.
He denies having eonspired with An
tone to obtain for the latter all the
consideration for the assignment to
Henry Holmes, alleging that he bought
half interest from Antoine for his own
use and benefit. This he afterward dis
posed of, on his own account. to Henry
Holmes.
Antoine Lopez said he never knew and
never was informed that Antoine acted
fraudulently in the matter of the as
signments in question.
A curious thing in the pleadings in
this ease is that Antoine Richard and
Richard Antoine are names used inter
changeably. The chief respondent
would appear to have reversible name.

1t appeared by vouchers that $40. %
was paid out for penalty and interest
on taxes overdue in May, 1906. This
is the item surcharged to the tempo

ENOS ESTATE
BADLY JUGGLED
Supreme Court Reverses JUDGE
kepoikai's Order in the
Matter.

| By unanimous opinion of the Su-
| preme Court, an order of the Second
Circuit Court, Waikiki, in the matter
of the estate of Augustine Enos is re-
versed and the cause remanded to Judge
Kepoikai for further proceedings con-
sistent with the opinion The case
shows most remarkable handling of a
large estate, both in and out of court
1t was an appeal by A. Enos and j.
V. Maciel, two of the executors and
trustees of the estate of Augustine
Enos, from an order of the Circuit
Judge approving the partial accounts
and report of T. B. Lyons, describing
himself as one of the executors and
trustees.
1906, leaving by will large estate,
valued in the inventory of the tempo
rary administrator at $4,000. A con
test was started by Rosalie Lyons,
daughter of decedent, which was soon
abandoned. Rosa Enos, widow, was
named as executrix in the will, but she
declining to serve Lyons was appointed
in her place. In the course of its opin-
ion the court points out that Lyons
could not be an executor in those cir
cumstances, but should have been de-
scribed as administrator with the will
annexed"

IMPROPER APPOINTMENT.

1t was improper and irregular, the
court says, for The. Circuit Judge sitting
in probate, to have appointed the per-
sons named as trustees. Besides, in
this case, the viii specifically provided
who should be trustees The case of
Long V. Holt was can example of how
a somewhat similar confusion that
is, between the offices of executors and
trustees kept the administration of
an estate going unnecessarily for more
than forty years. /"

There were lot of pickings" in
the Enos estate matter, as shown by
its history in this opinion. When dis
charged on April 25, 1906, the first set
of temporary administrators were al
lowed payment for their services, thus:
A. G. Dickens, $3.50; j. L. Coke, $3.50;
J. NJ. Vivas, $3.50. Then A. Enos, T. B.
Lyons and j. V. Maciel were appointed
temporary administrators under bonds
of $4,000 each, and on August .fol-
lowing they filed their final accounts.
These were referred to Z. II. Hart as
master, who on August 90 made an
elaborate report thereon. With sur
charge of 1888 for penalty and inter
est on taxes improperly charged, these
accounts were approved. Each of the
administrators was allowed 800 for his
services, the master a fee of $75 and
Morris K. Keohokalole ga reasonable
amount for his services as accountant.

THE REASON THEREFOR?

We notice by the public press tina.
Mr.. Gordon carried with him 10 Hern-
don, Fairfax county, on April 22j, q
number of speakers to give al and en-
enlargement to his cause, viz: Lewis
Macheu, John :. Barbour, Oraudal
Mackey and A. a. Lipscomb. We
we're OF the impression that Mr.. Gordon
felt confident of his ability TO tske care
Of himself but it now begins to look as
If he is crying out for help. We under
stand that these gentlemen took up
Mr.. Gordon's text of pure elections and
good government, placed themselves
on this platform ard very kindly handed
the other end of it to Mr.. Oarlia.
There is peculiar Significance in the
appearance of John 8. Barbour on the
stump. He is the Assistant Division
Counsel of the Southern Railway Com
psny, and as railroad attorneys, accord
ing 10 Mr.. Gordon, always serve their
masters, are we expected to believe that
Mr.. Barbour has been put OH the stump
by the railroad in order to punish Mr..
Oarlin for holding up the sub-slaIion in
Washington at Fourteenth street where
the people do not desire it placed, and
Incidentally holding up the one million,
FIVE hundred thousand dollars sppropria-
ton until they build station in acc)r-
with the laws OF Congress? The interest
on this money is sbcu. eighty thousand
dollars year. Mr. Osrlin's objection
has kept the railroad from receiving 1t.
We do not know just how much of the
circuit this itinerant band Of sef-cou-
stiluted sdyi,eEs OF lha people will
make wi h Mr.. Gordon, but il does seem
to us that the people of FSiffAx county
would not care 10 be sdSi'ed by people
that do not live within its borders as tc
how they should cast their votes. 1t
may be that these gentlemen are mi'iu-
formed as to The intelligence of The
voters Of Fairfax county. Warrenton

Prn1c protest AGAR S. the high price

PUBLIC protest sgsirs' the high prices
prevailing for fresh meat, particularly
b4sf and mutton, is taking a form in
Chicqgo little to the liking Of the whole
sale and retail dealers. Not in many
wars hiss the public generally objected
50 vigorously to the extravsgsnt values
they are called on to psy for meats.
The result. has been curtailment Of the
consumption on scale not deemed pos
sibIe a few months ago. Meat statesmen
all over Chicago, as well as in other
large cities, assert that their trade has
fallen off 80 per cent. in the last month.
The same complaint of poor demand is
heard from shippers of live cattle and
dressed beef in New York and other
eastern points. The consuming public
his taken the only course that will
bring about lower prices, the subs'itu-
ton of other foods for the higher priced
meals. A very efectual way Of bring
inc the beef trust to terms may be put
il operation by housskeepers II they will
continue for few weeks to come to sys-
te natically cur.ail their meat purchases.
Tais plan involves a slight sacrifice Oh
the part Of the beef eaters, but it hits the
trust In a vital place. The managers OF
the trust understand an argument sd-
dressed 10 their pockets.

Explosion.

Toxic, April 30.-The accidental ex-
plcs.on Of prcjeclile in her stock mags-
zine sunk the Jsplness training cruiser
Matsushima with the probable loss Of
200 lives early today
The disaster occurred of the Pesca-
5ores Islands. Admiral MoshiSmtsu,
con nsud ding the training squadron, re-
ported the accident TO the admiralty, but
gave few details. He is not yet certain
OF the number of dead, but says only
thirty Of the crew Eers rescued at the
time his dispatch wss sent.
The cruisers Hasbidate and IIseku-
shima, which accompanied the Matsus-
himS, saved them.
Mos. of thcss rescued we're cade's.
The captain and most of the officers OF
the cruiser were lost. How the explO-
sion occurred is not known. Il was at
1903 q. M, Admiral Moshiamtsu says.
The vessel went down almost inst unity.
Dolly her bridge is visible above water.
A supplementary report from Admiral
Moshiamtsu of the japanese trainicg
squadron of the Pescadores Islands, says
al men have been saved from tn te
aboard the wrecked cruiser Ma;shushms.
The boats from lhs cruiser HASH late
and I'sukushima have been rowing
about the scene Of the disaster for five
hours, and it is believed all OF those yet
unsccouuted for are dead.
1t is believed Captain Yashiro, Mamo
and Yoshmoro, who we're aboard the
Matshushima at the time of the explo-
sion, persisted.
Among the nil ng and probably dead
cadets are the sons of Field Marhil
Prince Oysma aud Vie Foreign Min
lister Baron Oh nda.
The cruisers compliments of cadets
wv 300, and of these 5S we're fmoDg
{ the al survivors.

Yalu. She was protected cruiser OF the
first class and carried one l2.iuch ride,
twelve 4 Finch rapid frers, FIVE 6
FOUNDERS, eleven polnders and six
machine guns. She was equipped with
four torpedo tubes.
The Matsushms carried, besides its
800 cadets, sbou. fifty officers and sea
men, total of approximately $50 men.
The admiral having reported l4l res
cues, it is Inferred here that 209 persisted.

lieved lost.
