Gliding her vested property rights in this
Jurisdiction, which does not permit such
marital alliances.
According to the stories told by the
women at the time they were lighting
for the possession Of Andrews body
rather than money, which stories are as
yet uncOntraverted, it is not improbable
that both may produce TO the court evi-
dence clearly establishing marriage.
This would mean that Mrs Laura @.

themselves into the fight originally
Waged between the two women.
Regardless Of the terms OF the will,
however, the fact remains that If the
Ohio woman shows marriage nothing
can cut her out Of her dover rights.

Leading Politician.
Andrews was city leader of the Bal
timore Republicans for a number OF
years After the death of Governor
LOwnes. Andrews came to Washington
in 1905 and purchased the Merchants
Hotel. in Pennsylvania avenue, perma-
nently taking up his residence in the
Capital.
In addition to this property. Andrews
owned a the time Of his death a large
block Of stock in the Patapsco Loan and
Trust Company, Of Baltimore, several
pieces OF real estate here and in Balti-
mroe, and productive ground rents
In Washington he lived with Mrs
Bertha Y. Andrews, at the Merchants
Hotel, and it was she who waited upon

sued rms. Laura c. by the Health De-
partment was rescinded on petition Of
Mrs Bertha V, and the body was not
allowed to leave the District.
Argued Several Days.
The two women argued for several
days concerning their alleged respec-
tive rights. Relatives OF Andrews who
came to Washington during these
rather exciting times. confessed their
inability TO decide 10 which woman the
body belonged. The District courts
too. seemed to somewhat doubt its jur-
isdiction I'm the unusual case and finally
the matter was temporarily hushed by
the injunction method
As the legal controversy stands to-
day, 1t hinges upon the objections of
the heirs-at-law TO the will proper. It
is claimed that Andrews was not Of
testamentary capacity at the time the
instrument was drawn.

FIGHT IS WAGED
ON CHAMBERLAIN
"ANTIS" WOULD WREST T0GA
FROM OREG0N'S CHIEF
Chairman Hitchcock of National Re-
publican Committee Takes Hand
in Battle to Defeat Northern
Governor
by Associated Press. !

PORTLAND Ore, Jan. 1.-THE controversy
over the United States senatorship and the
selection of a man to succeed Senator Charles
W. Fulton, is developing into a fight between
the Chamberlain men and the ''antis,'' who
wish to see Fulton some other man sent
to Washington instead of the peoples choice, -
George Z. Chamberlain, now governor Of
the state.
That Frank Hitchcock, chairman of the ma
tiOnal Republican committee is taking hand
in the fight is indicated by the fact that Ralph
is here, as also is Ormsby McHarg of Chi
cago said to be the personal representative
of Hitchcock in the fight to defeat Cham
berlain. This is not McHarg's first visit to
Oregon. Last fall he spent some time here
endeavoring to harmonic discordant elements
within the Republican party.
That the anti-Chamberlain forces will map
out a line of campaign between now and next
Tuesday. when the first ballot in the senatorial
contest is to be taken, is certain. 1t is ex-
pected Williams, McHarg and others inter
ested will get together at Portland and de-
velop some scheme in an attempt to weaken
the Statement No II forces.
While it generally is believed that Fulton is
turned to the senate, it is understood, if a
winning fight cannot be made with Fulton,
some other name will be put forward.
The Chamberlain forces show no signs Of
weakening. The speaker of the house, c. N.
Macarthur a Republican, and known TO be a
friend of Fulton in most things, has not been
won over to the side of the ants, and, fur
thermore has taken part in the fight since
the legislature convened. The antis assert
however, that when the crucial moment comes
Macarthur will be found doing his part.

Dethroned Ruler Alleges Life Interest

Says, by Aid of Amer
leans
EBy Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-After years
of vain endeaVor to obtain compensa-
ton for the loss of her kingdom,
Liliuokalani, former queen of the king
dom of Hawaii, today appeared in per-
son before the house committee on
claims to press her claim.
1t is the first time in history that a
real, former queen had faced COM
mittee of the house. The queen is
willing to accept $25O,O00 as complete
settlement.
Queen Liliuokalani was accompanied
by Princess Kalanianaole, wife of the
delegate to congress, Jonah Kuhio
Kalanianaole.
The prince, a cousin of the queen,
and Judge f. M. Hatch, who figured in
the provisional government in Hawaii
in 1892, were present to assist her in
the presentation of the case. They
contended that only by the assistance
of the American marines had the king
dom been overthrow and the crown
lands wrested from the queen.
They also contended she had a life
interest in them, independent of the
throne. The queens position did not
permit her to address the committee,
but she frequently nodded the APP
prevail of Judge Hatch's remarks.

POCATELLO, Idaho, Jan. Bone thousand
sheepmen attended the opening session of the
Nsticnal Woolgrowers' convention in Pocatelo
today and listened to bitter arraignment OF
the federal forestry bureau by President Fred
W. Gooding of Shoshone.
Declaring the government in its administra-
ton Of the national forest and of the reclama-
ton has failed woefully, President Gooding
urged that congress be asked to name a COM
mittee of western men to investigate and re-
port any needed changes in the rules and regu-
lations governing these two bureaus.
Gov. j. H. Brady in an address Of welcome
in behalf of the state, provoked laughter when
he said he would like to invite the wool men
to the cooling shade Of trees in Idaho's for
ests, were 1t not for the fact that the reserves
were bare of trees.
Cole J. Ball Of Laramie sounded the keynote
Of the convention when he said: Clifford Pin
chot has had control of something like 160.
900 acres of land and he has failed to get
control of 500 900 acres, which was fortunate
for the western people. Where I live we were
all afraid to own land and tried to get rid of
what we possessed"
Joseph E, Wing of Mechanicsburg, Ohio,
eastern vice president, was unable to be pres
ent and his address was read by W. F. Burch
Of Chicago.

The great increase in the value of

this action.
That the firm, which became in

the announcement it is out of trouble
