tate was sold by the administrator without an order from the court, the administrator acting under the power vested in the executors. The property was taken in by Mr.. Smith and was alolwed to go on the judgment.
 After that other property was sold by the administrator or was about to be sold when a discovery was made Though the assumption of the admin istrator that he stood in the place of the executors was supported by the laws of this territory it was found that the supreme court of California had held that the legislature was without power to delegate such a power. The law of California is the same as the Arizona law and the law of Texas is also the same. In the latter state also the supreme court had taken a simi- lar view. It was held that the pow CT imposed by the will in the executors was an expression by the testator of a personal trust and confidence which could not be transferred to any other person by a legislative act.
 Thereupon MT. Smith came into pro- bate court and asked to have the order of the court confirming the sale to him set aside and a petition was filed for an order of sale.
 It turned out that the apathy of the persons who had been named as the executors arose from the fact that the heirs of the estate had supposed that there was no estate left, nothing but law suits, whereas there were still several valuable lots in the northern part of the city. About this time the heirs awoke and the judgment was at tackled. Various lawyers were brought into it and, the matter dragged along, the lawyers retiring in turn. The last of them was Paul Renau Ingles who was yesterday in at the finish. The

A S9,0OO JUDGMENT
 SET ASIDE IN COURT
The Last of the Simms Litigation Ap- ParentIy Disposed Of.

Another of the old Simms suits and the last was disposed of yesterday aft CT having been before the probate and district courts for the last ten years. A judgment for 5000 which had been granted nearly that long ago and which had since been assigned to w. T. Smith, was set aside by Judge Kent. The granting of the judgment was fol- lowed by a long series of transactions which thereby all go by the board.
 The will of Col. J. T. Simms desig- mated as executors his son Charles T. Simms and his law, George F. Brosius, who were empowered to make such disposition of the property as they might see fit and without the orders of the probate court. At the time of the death of Col. Simms there was a note for 5000 in the hands of a man by the name Of Havden, the note being secured by a mortgage. The mortgage was afterward found to be invalid and suit was brought against suit was brought against the executors. both of whom were non-residents and had never qualified. They were serv- ed by publication and judgment was taken by default.
 After this an administrator was ap- pointed and he allowed the claim of MT. Smith who had secured possession of the judgment. Some time after that certain property belonging to the es-

AN ALL DAY CIGAR.
The Kind Smoked by a Tribe Of South
American Indians.

The Kind Smoked by a Tribe Of South
American Indians.
Cigars foot and a half long, which
are made for one days smoking, are
shown In the American Museum of
Natural History. With them is hold
er which looks like tuning fork and
is large enough to be used for pitch
ing hay.
Far up the Rio Nlgra, tributary Of
the Amazon, two explorers made a col
lection of articles for the museum.
The Indians there made cigars eight
cen inches long and as big around as
chlld's arm. One of these cigars is
too much for any ease loving man to
clasp, so the Indians put the fragrant
roll between the tines Of a fork two
and half feet long, stick the sharp
end Of the handle into the ground at
convenient distance from their ham,
mocks and take pun from time to
time as they sway lazlly backward
and forward.
There are many other picturesque
articles In the collection, which was
made during a three months journey
from the coast. The material Is Of the
highest value, and nothing like II has
been seen except a few articles In
German museum.-New York Herald.

ENTIRE FAMILY MISSING.
Husband, Wife and Children May
Have Drowned.

That E. E. Porter and his entire
family. consisting of Mrs. Porter, g.
year-old son and babe of two
months, have been drowned in the
willamette or Columbia rivers is fear
ed by a brother of the missing man.
Embarking in steam launch, Porter
accompanied by his wife and children
left Portland for the lower Colum-
bia river about six weeks ago to look
at a small sawmill plant he contem-
plated buying.
Not a member of the family has
been seen by any of their relatives
since, although on leaving Porter. did
not expect to be absent long No tid-'
ings of any sort have been received
from them. Every inquiry of the
brother has given no clew as to their
fate or whereabouts.
A small boat answering the de-
scription of the r. f. Porter, the
name of the craft in which they took
passage, was reported this morning
as bottom-up near Astoria. An et-
fort is being made to identify the
derelict and if she proves to be the
one in which the family set out from
Portland there will be little hope re-
naming of their ever showing up
again alive.
In his launch Porter was ia
millar figure around the harbor Dur
ing the freshets in the willamette, he
made It a business Of picking up hard
wood logs which came floating down
stream. These were usually maple
and oak.
Wishing to branch out in his busi-
ness operations, and hearing of a
small mill down the river which had
been reported to him that he could
use to advantage, he decided to take
a look at It. Thinking 1t would be a
fine outing for his wife and children,
he concluded to take them with him,
During their absence there have
been several bad blows on the river,
but his craft was staunch and could
probably ride out the waves on most
inland waters. If she was wrecked
and went down. It Is probable that she
was in a collision with some large
steamer at night and no one but the
occupants Of the little boat knew any
thing about the accident.

ITO me that's the most striking thing
about such an individual. Maybe he
has some qualities that justify bis
good opinion Of himself, and maybe
not. He's dense just the same, and
the proof Of 1t is that he doesn't realize
how he lmpresses his associates un-
pleasantly. If the average concelted
man had the least idea of the handi-
cap under which he Is laboring he'd
shed 1t mighty quick. But he hasn't,

Taft tried 10 quiet the racket. but
was powerless to do so. When the
noise ceased. Mr.. Taft began his
address. His voice was hoarse, but
the crowd was satisfied merely 10
look at him and his every word was
cheered.
There were a number OF other
speakers before Judge Taft and Gov
ernor Hughes arrived. but the throng
was impatient to hear the preaiden-
tial and state nominees. Their ap-
pearanee at Madison Square Garden
came at the end of a day that was
most remarkable. During the day
Mr.. Taft addressed IA meetings. and
Governor Hughes spoke at Is. Then
last night, when the Madison Square
Garden meeting was In progress, a
giant parade was vending its way
in a downpoud of rain through the
heart of the city.
Hours before the doors OF the gar
den were thrown open long lines Of
ticket holders had formed. At s
o'clock the police had to bar all ex-
eept reserved seat ticket holders. A
band Of 100 pieces kept the crowd
from becoming impatient during the
hour or more that elapsed before
General Horace Porter, who presided,
called the meeting to order. Gen
eral Porter began by saying that he
had never attended such an enthu-
siastic meeting. Then attacked VIII
liam J. Bryan. saying that he was
suffering from political and financial
delusion. Presently General Porter
prophesied the election OF Judge
Taft. At the mention OF the can
didate's name there was prolonged
cheering and when a moment later
the speaker mentioned the name OF
Governor Hughes there was an out
burst that continued more than 20
minutes. Hundreds OF small Am
erican flags were waved.
II was two minutes after II
o'clock when Mr.. Taft arrived As
soon as he was recognized there was
tremendous cheering which lasted
10 minutes. General Porter finally
obtained comparative quiet. When

ed.

and he made his speech brief. Be
