Johns Hopkins Second Taker.

"Whether the trust could be better per-
formed is not the question:: nor would it
avail the appellants If it were not being
performed at all by the first taker, for
the trust cannot revert to them in such
event.
"In case of the failure of the first taker,
the trust passes to the Johns Hopkins
University. whose answer, as we have
seen. states it's willingness. readiness and
ability to accept and execute the trust
whenever ii may be entitled or called upon
to do so. There is no testimony tending
to contradict this averment of the an
swer and it must be taken as true. As
there was no error in dismissing the bill
the decree is affirmed with costs"

Had Been Railway Brakeman.

Spencer who is twenty-eight years old,
has been employed for some time as a
clerk by the H. l.. Handy Company, on
Hampden street Before that he was a
railroad brakeman. Always we'll dressed
when off duty, gentlemanly, suave and
speaking almost perfect English in a re-
fined, gentle voice, he posed as a college
student, obliged to work for his education.
His habits, so far as known, were ex-
emplary. He never associated with
fast SET his conversation was always free
from oaths or vulgarity of any kind, and
many who knew him pointed him out as
a model young man.
Still. those railroad men who knew
him when he worked for the Boston and
Maine say he has an ungOvernable tenn
per and that this was the cause of his
discharge by the railroad company.

fessed today to the murder of Miss Mar

last Thursday night Spencer also con-
fessed to the commission of long series
Of masked burglaries which have kept
the residents Of Springfield in a panicky
condition for long time.
Miss Blackstone and Miss Harriet P

masked burglar. who entered the Dow

ness against Spencer. After examining
the leather belt and pistol holster found
in Spencer's home she declared today
that it was the same worn by the mask
ed robber who shot and killed Miss
Blackstone and seriously wounded her
sister, Miss Harriet Dow, in her pres
ence.
THAT is surely the piece of leather
the man wore last Thursday night"
said Miss Dow. THAT holster made a
vivid impression on my mind. and
cannot be mistaken. So far as it is
possible to positively identify a man
whom l saw but once, and then masked,
l can identify this man as the individual
who shot Miss Blackstone
Both Miss Dow and her mother have
identified leather belt and a pearl
breastpin as belonging to them. The po-
lice allege these two articles were found
with the other jewelry recovered from
Spencer.
Mrs Spencer, wife Of the accused, de-
clared in court that she would be able to

TRUST IS AFFIRMED
George Washington University
Wins Powell Action.
CASE OF HEIRS WAS WEAK
Had George Washington Failed,
Johns Hopkins Stood Ready
to Comply.

The beouest to the Columbian Univer-
sity, now George Washington University
made by the late Admiral Powell in 1885
for the training of young men in the
branches of education best fitted to pre-
pare them for officers Of the line in the
navy of the United States or for places
as mates or captains in the marine serv-
ice of the United States has been sus-
tanned by the District Court of Appeals
in an opinion by Mr.. Chief Justice Shep-
ard.
The bequest consists of the admiral S
former home on 1 street. adjoining the
Farragut apartment house valued at
$4,000.
Certain collateral heirs of the officer
uncertainty and incapacity of execution
The university won out in the lower
court and that decision is affirmed.
Administration of Trust.
The testimony showed that beginning
with the year after the probate Of the
will in 1885, the Columbian University
published in its catalogue that under the
Admiral Powell endowment free scholar
ships would be given to limited number
of pupils who would prepare for adms-
sion 10 the United States Naval Academy.
Subsequent catalogues, from year to year,
set out the terms of the trust in greater
detail and set out the courses of instruc-
ton indicated in the trust.
1t was shown that between 1891 and
the date of taking testimony twenty
four youths had been admitted to free
scholarships under the endowment,
some Of these continuing for more than
one term At least two of these passed
into the Naval Academy.
While this testimony" declares the
chief justice. does not show with GER
tainty that the expectations Of the
testator have been fully answered and
is particularly defective in that 1t fails
to show that the entire net proceeds
of the trust property have been de-
voted exclusively to the purposes of
the trust and none other, it seems to
be sufficient to show that the trust can
be executed as we'll as that in some
measure it is being executed.

Settler Alleges Overcharge.

HELENA, Nov. 4.-The question of
whether barbed wire, when intended
for use and not for sale, should be
classed a. an ''emigrant's movable"
is soon to be decided by the interstate
commerce commission, evidence in the
case of A. B. Hood against the Great
Northern railway having been taken
in this city yesterday by Special Ex-
amtner A. B. Pugh, of the commission.
Hood shipped a carload OF emf.
grants movables from Portland to
Chester. In the car was a quantity of
bsrbed wire which he proposed to use
to fence his newly acquired homestead.
The western classification allows fence
posts to 60 as "~movsbles" but does
not specify barbed wire, and the com.
pany collected freight to the amount OF
s63 over aud above the charge on q
straight car OF movsbles. Hood took
the case before the interstate commerce
commission, claiming that as the wire
was not intended for sale It should be
placed under the lower classification.

BalIinger Answers Critics.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-BlaminR
the agitation since the withd rawal OF
Alaskan coal lands In 1905, as the
cause of keeping the question unsettled
and also for the inaction of congress.
Secretary Ballinger tonight made
public q statement in which he ass ails
those who charged him with being an
opponent Of conserv alton and blames
them for the unsettled condition in
Alaska.
The statement was brought out by
the recent indictments against Alask a
coal claimants. In it the secretary
says that ''those are but further steps
in the effort being made by the gov.
eminent to clear and settle this whole
question:"
Since the withdrawal order was
made to enable congress TO decide
upon q definite policy dealing with
the resource, the secretary says
"there has been throughout the coun-
try much agitation regarding Alaska
coal-a large part of which ia based
on false statements"
Whatever has been the motive be-
hind the agitation it has resulted in
keeping the whole question unsettled
and is largely blameable for the in.
action of congress-.
