BRITAIN MAY GIVE
UP WITHOUT CONTEST

NELSON, May 10,-Fredericll Vii
liers. the famous war correspondent, was
the guest of the Canadian Club at a
luncheon yesterday. He says the only
reason Lord Kitchener did not come
through Canada was that the reporters
would have asked him about many i'm
periaI subjects, and Lord Kitchener
would have found it difficult to avoid
opening out too much, and perhaps
being indiscreet.
Mr.. NilIiers said that the prospect
was that Germany might attain domi-
nance without having to 90 to war. She
would 90 ON Strengthening her arma-
meuts until one day she would say to
Great Britain: = on are in no position
to resist US We want this and that
There would be a show down. and Ger
many 5 available forces would be so
much greater than Great Britain : that
the latter would have to give in without
entering upon q hopeless struggle.
In airshlps Germany was now much
stronger than England, Something OF

with the annexation of Bosnia by Aus

Have You Seen the COmetl

The approach Of Halley's Com.
ct is watched for with eagerness
by all but when you hear some
one say that he has actually seen
it with the naked eye you can
give him the horse high. He has
seen the morning star, which in
his imagination, has grown won
derfully. But the Comet is com.
ing as the following dispatch
from Washington shows:
"Halley's comet was seen here
today for the first time OF its
present visit, those favored with
this primary view being Protes'
sor Asappall of the naval ebser-
vatory and his associate, 1t was
about 4.30 o'clock in the morning
when through the big 26-inch
telescope at the observatory they
obtained a sight of the wanderer
of the heavens which for the past
three quarters Of q century has
been hidden from the eyes OF the
inhabitants on this globe. For
about fifteen minutes the comet
remained visible.
In about three weeks, the COM
ct will be visible to the naked
eye, it will rise two hours and
forty minutes before the sun.
Today it came up an hour ahead
of the great luminary. The comet
therefore will be visible for q
longer period each day, although
those who wish to see it will be
obliged to rise early.
Popular apprehension regard
ing harm to the earth and its ln-
habitants during the visit OF the
comet to this portion of the Uni
verse Is unfounded. In state
ment issued tonight, Willis l..
Moore Of the weather bureau
says, that the result of a coils
ion between the earth and a
comet would depend upon the
mass Of the comet, the velocity OF
the bodies and the angle of in.
pact, but that in the present case
a collision would be impossible
owing to a safety margin of some
100000 miles between the
earth and the comet.
The tail of the comet, through
which the earth probably will
pass. will be noticeable as an alb
sol1tely harmless luminous gas
or dust. 1t may produce electri-
cal and magnetic effects that can
be detected only by self-record-
ing Instruments.

DIVORCED WIFE IS
CONTESTINC WILL
Says She Grubstaked Former
Husband in Mining Venture.

Chicago, Feb. 11.-Establishment in
Chicago of the $2,00O,000 III. C. Eli
oft Home for Destitute Children" pro-
vided for in the will of a wealthy
Alaskan gold hunter, but hedged about
by peculiar legal provisions, is threat
ened with still further obstacles.
The wiIl--in which the second wife
of the testator and the proposed home
for children are the principal bene-
ficiaries-was filed for probate here.
At once a suit to restrain the probat-
ing of the testament was filed by Cath
crime M. Elliott, first wife of Elliott,
whom he divorced.
Elliott died in Alaska last Decem-
ber In an avalanche near where he
had been gold hunter since 1897.
The Northern Trust company was
made executor for the estate. The
income was to be paid to his wife,
Grace Van Wormer Elliott, with the
exception of bequests to his son, HI. c.
Elliott, Jr., sister, Ella Louise and
& brother, A. J. Elliott. If at any time
the estate reached a value of $2,000,-
600 that amount was to be used in the
construction of the children's home
bearing Elliott's name.
The first wife bases her attack on
a grubstake agreement made before
Elliott went to Alaska. She declares
she provided Elliott with $500 to enter
the gold rush in 1897 and that she
holds an agreement signed by her and
her husband which provides for an
equal division of the proceeds from
the mining venture.
When Elliott returned from Alaska
In 1902 after making his lucky strike
he divorced his first wife.

ACCUSE MANY OF
ILLEGAL ENTRIES
Sixty-four Charged With
Coal Land Frauds.
IMMENSE sum INVOLVED

Cases Cover Nearly Ten Thousand
Acres, Appraised by Government Ex-
perts at Nearly Million and Half
DoIIars-Alleged That Dummy En-
trymen Made Filings in Interest of
Big Concerns.
Lander, Wyo., Feb. 11.-Sixty-four
defendants in alleged coal land frauds
against the government appeared at
the United States land office in this
city in cases brought by the govern
ment for the cancellation of titles to
coal lands said to be the most valu-
able in Wyoming.
The cases involve $500 acres in the
mineral district north of Lander and
appraised by government experts at
nearly $1.500,O00.
The government alleges that these
lands were filed upon by dummy"
entrymen for the benefit of the Owl
Creek Coal company and the North
western Coal company, which are con-
trolled largely by New York capital
lists. The two companies are reported
to be associated with the Chicago.
Burlington and Quincy railroad. The
cases are commonly known as the
"Gebo coal land fraud cases." as SAM
uel w. Gebo, George w. Daily, Rufus
p. Ireland and others are alleged to
have been instrumental in obtaining
the titles to the lands involved.
The cases have been under investi-
cation by federal land agents for three
years. An Injunction suit was brought
in the United States court at Chey-
enne recently by the government ask
ing that the Owl Creek Coal company
be restrained from operating coal
mines at Gebo, Big Horn county,
which are said to be producing 700
tons of coal daily. A temporary re-
straining order was granted by the
court and more than ! 900 miners were
thrown out OF work.
John A. Williams, law examiner OF
the land Office, will hear the cases.
Forty witnesses will be summoned,
many of them from New York.
