MISER'S COLLECTION
MAY GRACE MUSEUM
ART CONNOISSEUR'S DEATH
CAUSES STIR
-T-
Fate of One of Europe's Best Collec-
tions VIII Hang in Balance
Until a Will Is
Located

LONDON, Dec. 14.-Some of the
finest art treasures in existence may
come into the market through the
death of George Sailing in this city
yesterday, and art circles are greatly
stirred over the prospects.
Sailing was a Dane and inherited a
great Australian fortune. His whole
life and income were devoted to the
examination and purchase of works of
art, and he became one of the best
known collectors in Europe.
Apart from this passion, Sailing was
considered miserly. He lived frugally
in two rooms, which were crowded with
priceless treasures. Popular report
credited him with never having given a
cent to charity, and with never spend
ing money unnecessarily on his per-
sonal needs.
Salting's collection of porcelains in
the Kensington museum is the finest
perhaps in the world Many paintings
owned by him now hang In the
National gallery. Museum directors
made 1t a practice to refrain from
bidding against the eccentric man at
sales, because they believed that his
collections would be bequeathed to the
nation.
However one of the connoisseur's
eccentricities was a reluctance to make
WILL and 1t is not known whether
he ever signed one.
Accordingly museum officials are
somewhat disturbed lest the precious
collection be disposed of through the
auction rooms.

Especial to The Herald.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-ln dccid-
ing yesterday the case of the United
States VS.. Bob Celestine, the supreme
court of the United States modified to
me extent its previous judgment as
to the effect of the patenting of lands
to Indians.
In the Heff case, it was held virtual
ly that, under the general allo .ment
act, such u patent was equivalent to
Conferring citizenship on an Indian
but, in the opinion handed down yes
terday, which was by Justice Brewer,
It was held that, in cases where patents
had been granted under such condi-
tions, the general allotment law would
not apply.
The Celestine case grew out of the
alleged murder of an Indian woman by
Celestine, who Is an Indian patentee
on the Tulalip Indian reservation, in
Washington state. He was indicted
i'm the federal court, and resisted the
Jurisdiction of the federal court on the
ground of citizenship, received through
the allotment from the government of
the land on which he lives. He con-
tended, therefore, that he was entitled
to trial in the courts Of the state of
Washington.
The circuit court sustained this con-
tention, but that decision was re-
versed by Justice Brewers opinion.
Justice Brewer said of Celestine that
although he had been made a citizen, Ii
did not follow that the United States
had lost jurisdiction over him for Of
fenses committed within the limits of
the reservation.

CHINESE GIRL MUST
REMAIN IN COUNTRY
LACK OF EVIDENCE FAILS TO
CONVINCE COURT
Native Born Oriental Husband Is
Acquitted on Charge of Using
Wife for Immoral
Purposes

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14,-A lack of
evidence to make a case against her
will saved Chan Haw, a California
Chinese girl, from being sent back to
China.
She was arrested as an incident of
the white slave" traffic. Her deten-
tion followed statements made by the
superintendent of the Methodist Chi
nese Womens Rescue Home of Ber-
kelley, Cal, who declared that in COM
pany with two detectives of San Jose,
she visited Chinatown in that place and
rescued Chan Haw who, 1t was alleged
was held there Tor illegal purposes and
against her Will.
The superintendent also said the girl
was brought to this country for wrong
full purposes by her husband, native
born citizen of the United States. Con-
siderable evidence favorable to the girl
was submitted.
The criminal proceedings against the
husband arising out of the charge
failed, and he was released.

lLLITERATE VOTE CAST OUT
AT THE TUCSON ELECTION
Entire Democratic Ticket Is Victori-
GUS and Former Mayor Heney
Threatens Legal Battle

TUCSON, Ariz.. Dec. 14-The munich
pal election yesterday resulted in a vic
tory for the entire Democratic city
ticket
This is the first tryout of the new
educational qualification law in Amer
lea.
1t is estimated that the entire litter
ate vote has been eliminated, There
were few challenges, as the threat of
prosecution kept disqualified voters
from the polls. 1t is considered that
the result is an Endorsement of the
recent fight conducted by former Mayor
Ben Heney against the city council. 1t
is probable that Heney will take his
fight for reinstatement into court.

Making Merry
AT MeaItime Means Good Appetite,
Good Digestion, Good Cheer,
Good Heart and Stuart'S
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Do You Use Them II Not. whre

DYSPEPSIA is the skeleton at the
feast; the deaths head at the festive
board. 1t turns cheer into cheerless-
ness, gayety into gloom and festivity
into farce. 1t is the ghost in the home
haunting every room and sitting at
every fireplace, making otherwise
merry people shudder and fear. If
there is one disease more than another
that should be promptly attacked and
worsted, 1t is DYSPEPSIA. 1t is the
very genius of unhappness, unrest and
i'll nature. In time ii will turn the best
man almost into a demon of temper
and make good woman something to
be dreaded and avoided.
1t is estimated that half of ones
troubles in this world come of a stom-
ach gone wrong-of Dyspepsia, in
short. Foods taken into the stomach
and not properly cared for; converted
into substances that the system has no
use for and hasn't any notion what TO
do with. 1t Is irritated and vexed
panied and annoyed. and In a little
while this state of things becomes
general, and directly there is some
thing bad to pay" The whole system
is in a state of rebellion and yearns to
do something rash and disagreeable,
and fine case of Dyspepsia is estab-
llSneQ anu OPENS up lOT DuSHleSS.
If you were bitten by mad dog
you would not lose a day in going to
a cure; do you know you should be
lust as prompt with Dyspepsia? Rab-
les is a quick death, dyspepsia is
slow one; this is about all the differ
ence. There Is a cure for rabies, and
SO there is for Dyspepsia, and one cure
was about as difficult to discover as
the other. Pasteur found out one and
the f. A. STUART COMPANY the
other, and it is no longer a secret, as
it is made public in the wonderful
Tablet, which so many are using and
praising today. One writer says of 1t:
"Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are little
storehouses of digestion which mix
with the stomach juices, digest food,
retingle the mucous membrane and its
nerve centers, give to the blood great
wealth of digestive fluids, promote di-
gestion and stays by the stomach until
all its duties are complete"
Some cures are worse than the dis
ease, they demand This, That and the
other. and the patient despairs at the
reuuirements; but not so with the
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets they are easy
and pleasant to take, and no nausea or
III feeling follows. There is none of
this getting all-over-the-mou like
a liquid ana making lhe lehieuy d
dread. Another writer says:
"It matters not what the condition
of the stomach, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's only improve the juices and bring
Quiet to the whole digestive canal, Of
which the stomach is the center"

+ohIets in their practice and every
