Captain Nfebaum's will. at the re-
quest Of his widow, is not TO be opened
until the end OF next week. The estate
is valued in the neighbOrhood OF
S25O0,OO0. 1t is the understanding of
those who enjoyed the confidence of
the captain that the bulk Of the prop
erty is left to Mrs. Niebaum. Although
the couple had no children, they took
}, nv
hood a niece and nephew, who had
been left orphans by the death of their
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Shingleberger.
Captain Niebaum and his wife were
greatly attached to the two children
and brought them up with the same
care and devotion as though they had
been their own. The captain was
greatly displeased with their maria ges
and family differences followed. The
girl became the wife of John Daniels,
Il Young businessman, and her brother
married an actress
Following the fire Of 1906 a recon
ciliation was effected between Mrs.
Daniels and Captain Niebaum and her
husband came 10 enjoy his highest es-
teen. Young Shingleberger never re-
gained his place in the affections OF the
captain.
The children were the son and
daughter of Mrs. Niebaums brother,

Words to Deputy Mar

Up of State Laws.

Samson, Ala, July AIN a speech
today Governor B. B. Conner criti-
cized Judge Thomas G. Jones, of the
federal court saying that il looked
like il would have been nearer to
fairness and Justice to have allowed
other than a former railroad attorney
TO decide the important Alabama rail
road litigation.
Governor Conner urged that there
be no backward step in the fight Cor
railroad and corporation control and
the rights of the state to administer
Its own affairs. He deplored the
power of the inferior federal courts

and frankly criticized the judge who
issued the writs. He said it was al
ready evident that the railroads were
laying plans TO again secure control
of the state legislature and place cor
Tupt Hobbies in the capitol.
'fIf they succeed now in bringing
about a repeal of the laws passed, it
would be the worst thing that could
happen TO the state" he said.
The governor expressed great re-
gard for law and the judiciary but be-
lieved no man or judge above just
criticism He did not believe Judge
Jones had law or Justice for the
sweeping injunctioqs issued. when the
tate had secured agreement on tie
part of most of the roads operating in
TIE state. Neither, did he think the
Judge was right in delivering a hec-
toring lecture and particularly quar-
reling with them (the railroads ac-
ceDting the laws) for Withdrawing
from his court and practically cbsery-
ing the laws of the state"
He criticized the Judge for citing
a solicitor to answer charge of con
tempt, 'for idle words spoken to a
nIieputy marshal" he thought this cita-
tion was Intended as a, far-reachine
Intimidation
when a hign judge descends to
coercing a people then the ermine OF
his court is being dragged in the
dust" the governor said.
After reciting that Judge Jones
was for years an attorney for the
Louisville and Nashville road, though
he, Jones. did not believe in railroad
control while a member of the legiS
nature the governor concluded:
1T locks hard to the FAIR minded1ess
