While the caveat states that Mrs.
Richardson when she made her will
leaving everything to her husband was
not in her proper state Of mind, &c.
Richardson acknowledged that the reason
the caveat was fled was because Of the
contemplated matrimonial adventure on
the part Of his father.
Mrs. Richardson's estate was worth
between $500 600 and $500 900 and she
stated in her will that her reason for
leaving everything to her husband and
not making any bequest for her son
was due to her belief that her husband
would at his death make ample provision
for the son.
Young Mr.. Richardson declared that In
view OF his fathers approaching marriage
the indications are that the provision as
expected by his mother may not be made
and for that reason he is attacking the

STRICKEN FROM THE FILES.
Petition That chief Justice Fuller said
Was Impertinent and Improper.

hhuptftucut RupfODCts
WASHINGTON. Nov. Unusual action
was taken by the Supreme Court to-day
in striking from its files a petition and
brief presented by Attorney George s.
Wright OF Iowa in connection with an
application for a writ Of certiorari. Parts
of those documents. said Chief Justice
Fuller in denying the application, were
so impertinent and improper that the
court in order to keep its records free
from scandal felt compelled to order them
stricken from the files.
The case arcse over a contract made
in 1893 between the Yellow Poplar Lumber
Company and s. F. Chapman for SO, 900. 900
feet OF standing lumber in Buchanan,
which has been in litigation ever since
through the Federal Court Of Appeals
for the Fourth circuit reversing the trial
court. From the final reversal recently
the lumber company applied to the
Supreme Court for review. and Attorney
Wright for the company in his brief
attacked the opinion Of the Court Of
Appeals, which was written by Judge
Dayton. as so grotesque in it's conclu-
sions OF law and prepared with so little
care and study as to be almost uninteili-
gible, even dramatically. not to say
legally. as that petitioner, the lumber
company. is being judicially robbed
without even having had its day in court
This language evidently came within
the courts definition OF scandalous and
the brief and petition were accordingly
ordered stricken from the files.

TO CUT RATES ON SUGAR.
Carriers East and west OF the Mississippi
viii Increase Rates on Lemons.


WASHINGTON. Nov. lit was an
nounced az the Interstate Commerce
Commission to-day that the railroads
running from New Orleans TO all prin-
cipal points in Indiana and Ohio and TO
Detroit, Mich. will make q cut OF from
one to four cents hundred pounds
in the freight rates on sugar. these
rates will become effective on November
the differentials which have been in
force between New Orleans and the terri
tory named and New York and this same
territory, and it Is understood that the
lines from the Atlantic seaboard intend
to meet this out in the freight rate on
sugar. The rate from New York. Phila-
delphia and other Eastern points 20
the points in the West named have always
been lower than from New Orleans,
Another change in freight rates an
Counced at the commission Affects lemons.
Practically all the carriers east OF the
Mississippi have united with the carriers
from California TO the Mississippi in an
increase in the rates on this fruit. About
the middle Of October the Western car
riers gave notice Of an increase in freight
rates on lemons from California to all
points in Minnesota, the two Dakotas
have Just been filed increased the rate
in the same proportion to practically
every point in the United States which
consumes California lemons.
1t is alleged that the increase, which
amounts 70 is cents a hundred pounds,
10 equivalent to the amount OF protection
which the California fruit growers OBJ
tanned in the Payne -Aldrich tariff act,
and that therefore the railroads will now
get it instead II the growers, who waged
a long and expensive campaign to obtain
this protection. However. il is possible
that the increased rate may have the effect
OF equalizing the lemon market between
the California and the Florida growers
and the importers OF lemons.
