VON HOLT TRUSTEE;
SHINGLE GUARDIAN

The contest as to whether r. W.
Single of H. NJ Won Holt should be
appointed trustee under the will of
James Campbell to succeed Mrs. Camp
bell-Parker has been settled out of
court. Yesterday the benefciaries I'M
der the will fled an answer to the bill
of J. o. Carter and Cecil Brown, sur
viving trustees. in which they joined
in the request for the appointment of
Won Holt.
Shingle was appointed guardian of
the estate of Mary Beatrice Campbell,
and one of his hrst acts was to ask for
an allowance of $500 a month for his
ward. The amount was fixed on, partly
because it was known that that was the
amount her mother had had in mind to
ask for her from the estate, and partly
because that amount would be needed
for the present plans. These are that
she shall return to school in California
and that Miss Freeth, who has been
teacher in the Normal School, shall ac-
company her as companion and tutor.
The allowance was granted by Judge
De Bolt.

MAKERS OF MooNsHINR.

There was price on every head in
the group before US, while Winchesters
rested against convenient trees.
The camera man stood with me just
within the entrance to spherical glade
in the swamp. 1t was thirty feet in
diameter. between walls of closely
growing trees and tangled vines; thirty
feet from ground to dome of curvlng
branches burdened with orchids and
brilliant with their blossoms. Festoons
of Spanish moss swayed with the
column of air rising from fire of fat
pine which filed the cavernOus opening
with ruddy light and waving shadows.
The big iron kettle over The fire was
fitted with a wooden top, deity fash
toned from a section of a cypress tree
three feet IN diameter, the stump of
which served as a table within the
glade. An iron ~pipe led from the
cypress cover of the kettle through
wooden box of water, and from its pro-
iecting end poured tiny stream of the
potent product of the still.
Half an hour earlier the hooting of
an owl had told the group of the com
ing of our guide, but we were uneX-
pected. There were no intrOductions,

seem to make it call right, although
every one knew that our being there
under his guidance involved his pledge
TO stand for us, in the Indian sense of
n hostage, with his life the forfeit.
Some of the whispered cOllequy which
we overheard was unprintable, and the
tension was only relieved when it was
understood that the boxes we carried
contained camera and sensitive plates.
This audacity appealed to the sense
of humor of the moonshiners and we
were made parties to the conversation,
which continued to be lurid in spots,

member of the group, whose culture
shone through his costume and his com
pany, remarked.
It was all made pleasant for us after
the first few strenuous minutes, when
the moonshiners became satisfied that
we would observe the flag of truce we
carried which bound US to make no
use, that would imperil them, of what
we learned.
They took a chiIdlike interest in the
arrangement for fash-light pictures.

of range of the camera. 1t required
some persuasion to overcome this diff
dence and more to keep the subject
selected from too obviously posing for

go to work naturally, just as if he were
alone, he picked up his Winchester,
tucked it under his arm, and proceeded
to poke fat chunks of pine under the

satisfy the artistic sense of the camera

BONDSMEN NEED NOT
Be FREEHOLDERS NOW

In the United States District Court
yesterday before Judge Dole, Kumo-
taro Kuwano and his wife, under in
dictment by the grand jury, were given
until Monday to secure counsel before
being required to plead. Judge Dole
fixed their bail at $1,000 each and or
dered that the bondsmen need not be
freeholders, if otherwise qualified. This
is the reversal of a rule that has long
been in force in the United States
Court here, and in the matter of bail
before the United States Commissioner.

KNOCKS OUT
OBSOLETE LAW
"When the Reason OF the Law
Fails, the Law Fails"
Says De Bolt.

In a decision rendered yesterday in
the case of l.. L. McCandless VS.. c. F.
Peterson, Judge De Bolt decided that
the old common law rule that the de-
mand for rent, when not otherwise
specified in the lease, must be made on
the day It is due on the demised prem
Uses, if in force at all in this Territory,
is not applicable under the circum-
stances of this ease The only defense
in the case was that the demand was
not made on the property on the day it
was due. 1t was made at the Office of
the defendant. The demised property
is vacant land.
In deciding the case, Judge De Bolt
said:
Defendant contends that plaintiff
is not entitled to the restitution of the
premises in this action because no
proper demand was made for the rent
on the demised premises upon the day
it became due. He relies strictly on
the rule of the common law. l am of
the opinion that the rule referred to is
obsolete and unreasonable, and, if in
force in this jurisdiction at all, is not

The report of Mr. Gilman, above men toned. shows that there were at that time seventeen schools, including the high school The latter was conducted then in tho rooms of the Young Mems Institute on orange street, where there were 2,152 pupils attending. There were e,65T children in New Haven of school age. There were iifty-five teachers all togetter, including those connected with the high school There were five grammar schools. These were the Dix well Avenue, the Eaton, the iIillhousc. the Washington tin the old Cedar street building), and the Webster. In addition there were three schools for colorcd children and seven schools Of primary grade for white children.
 To-day there are in New Haven nine school districts las compared with the five then. There are forty-four schools. This year there arc 2Llil pupils en- rolled in the New Haven public schools. Tn addition to the latter there ale 5i6 pupils in the four evening schools of the city There are 2S,0GO odd children of cigio:e school age. There are 550 teachers as compared with 55 as at that time,

 ciplinarian. but he was well man who never lost his temper There isn't any thing good that can be said about l
 man that I would not say about Mr. l Lewis"

 what the board thought of MT Lewis ] MT Moran said 1t was hardly fair to Mir Lewis when he himself was asked
 to speeh of him unadvlsedly. T know. 1 said MT.

 even the name of the man stood for as
 much as it does to-day twenty-fivs years ago His influence has always
