LOSES SUIT FOR
, HALF OF 100000
Court Decides Against Or. Wills
in Contest Over Will
of Mother
SISTER KEEPS FULL CONTROL
Decision Gives Physician $100
Monthly Income and Stock
in Water Company
SISTER KEEPS FULL CONTROL

DIR. w. lie Moyne Wills lost the suit
of long duration by which he sought to
obtain from his sister, Miss Madeline
Frances Wills, one-half of the $500,0O0
estate left by their parents.
Judge Wilbur of the superior court
rendered a lengthy decision yesterday
giving control of the estate to Miss
Wills and deciding that the doctor shall
have only the 500 monthly income
settled upon him by his mother, and
certain shares of stock in the Simi
Land and Water company, providing he
reimburses his sister for assessments
she has paid upon them.
The basis of the Wills estate was n
small parcel of realty in Duluth, Mimi,
that was acquired by John A. Wills,
the father of the contestants. This
property, together with the largo
amount afterward acquired by Wills
and including valuable blocks in Spring
and Buena Vista street, later came into
the possession of Mrs. Charlotte Wills,
the contestants mother, at the death of
the father, who left his estate to his
widow with the understanding that it
was to be held in trust for the children.
Mrs. Wills apparently, after some
losses of her son in mining ventures,
lost confidence In his business ability,
and settled a monthly income upon him
and before her death gave to her daugh-
ter practically all of the estate, except
household furniture valued at $4,000.
DIR. Wills brought suit to decide the
rights of his sister to hold the property
in trust. and it is upon this that Judge
Wilbur has rendered his decision. An
other suit is pending to determine
validity of Mrs. Wills will, the allega-
tion being made by the doctor that his
sister unduly influenced his mother.

VEXES DOUGLAS DEALERS

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 5.-The gov
ernment's refusal to pay freight on

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS

Here, 800 years ago, a band of 10C
| Pilgrims, in small, crowded and
! leaking vessel, first saw their new
home, Other efforts had been made on
the New England coast to found colo
nies for profit. but this was the first
attempt made by men seeking political
and religious independence to secure an
asylum in America.
They were of the yeOmanry. of the
farmer class. Their ministers were
university bred men, but the rest were
humble, GOd-fearing persons who were
aVoWed On-aOntOrmists and had been
prosecuted as such in their homes in
the eastern part of England"
The president referred in some detail
as to the exposure and privatiOn suf-
fered by the settlers, and said:
THE thought that prompted them to
brave the sea, to land on tnis forbid
ding coast in winter. and TO live here
has made the history Of this country
what it is. 1t prompted and fought tho
Revolutionary War. 1t welcomed and
fought the Civil War and has furnished
the United states the highest ideal Of
moral life and political citizenship.
1T is meet, therefore, the president
said in conclusion, that the United
States, as well as the state of Massu-
chusetts, should unite in placing here
a memorial to the Pilgrims.
The warships that are here with
their cannon typify the strength Of that
whose people have derived
much from the spirit and example of
the heroic band.
This magnificent monument viii fit
tingly remind the traveller by sea Of the
beginning of New England and note
the fact that those whose spirit of lib
erty was to persist for centuries, even
to the foundation and preservation Of
our great republic, here first saw the
land and here first put their foot ON

Lake Charles Papers COnsolida ted

The outside world, at least, was
considerable surprised by the an
nouncement that appeared in the
Lake Charles papers last Friday,
apprising their readers OF the fact
that A. M. Jones and Guy Beatty had
purchased the Lake Charles Press,
and the Lake Charles American, and
that these papers would be consolidate
ed aud appear under the caption OF
the Daily American-Press. The first
number of which would be issued
Monday January 10. The Press and
American have each contributed an
enviable part in the development OF,
not only Lake Charles, but Calcasieu
Parish as we'll, and the lOosing OF
the individuality of either or both
of these papers will be material
loss to the parish. While the change
will naturally be felt as a loss to
many still the advantages to be gained
by this combination far Cyerbalances
the disadvantages. 1t is believed
that by centralizing the news paper
patronage in one publication, high
er standard of efficiency can be at
tanned than has yet been reached, and
that too at a reasonable degree of
profit to the stock holders of the new
concern, where as it is maintained
that the high efficiency maintained by
the individual papers 10 the past has
been only at financial loss to the
stock holders. The Journal extends
greetings to the American-Press, and
wishs them success and prosperity.
