A delegation Of Washington bust.
ness men who left the city one night
recently for coon hunt along the
shores of the Chesapeake Bay had
something to show for their long vigil
around a tall oak tree when they re-
turned home. A 2O-pound coon was
brought to town by the sportsmen.
The Allegany Hunt Club and Paul Y.
Waters of the Chesapeake Beach Rail-
way Company were the hosts. The
huntsmen went to Chesapeake juno
ton in motor cars, where special
train was placed at their disposal by
Mr.. Waters. An hour later they
were in the midst of one of finest
hunting areas in that part of Mary
land.
John McWelch, with half dozen
trained coon dogs, led the way. By
$50 o'clock trail was struck, the
dogs leading the party to a tall oak
south of Chesapeake Beach proper.
Then the long vigil began. The
huntsmen built a fire near the foot of
the tree, axes were uncovered and
the sportsmen took turns in making
chips fly. 1t was after midnight be-
fore the tree fell and the coon was
driven from its retreat. The animal

Fallen tree and out among the dogs.

to reimburse them.
The amount of money was put up
by the st. Louis Clearing House last
year for local banks to help carry on
the work of the State Board of I'm
migration. The only assurance they
had that the money would be repaid
was from Governor Hadley and State
Immigration Commissioner John H.
Curran, who said they would ask the
Legislature to make good. Twice
this season the Legislature had re-

The Legislature declared that
while the State board had done good

Better Use for Convict Labor.

News dispatches tell usthat through
the efforts of the labor unions the end
has been brought in sight of the prac-
tice in Missouri, Of selling convict la
Dor in competition with the labor
which the unions" are designed to
protect. For the credit of all othe in
fluences in the state we hope the la
Dor unions were not alone in their
advocacy of the adjustment of con-
tract convict labor. Certainly if any
profit is to be made from the labor of
the convict that profit belongs to the
society he has wronged; to the people
taxed to bring about his apprehension,
conviction and detention, are not to
sharp contractors who seek bargains
in hnman Drawn and who gather, vul-
ture like, where states prisons rear
their walls. And if the labor of con-
victs is to be used in partial atone
ment to the people against whom Of
fences have been committed, we do
not know how better that end can be
accomplished than by employing it in
the building of public roads, The bill
abolishing the selling of convict labor
gives the contractors little time to
bring their arrangements for prison
labor to close, and as fast as that is
done we hope to see the the convicts
working out of doors as far as practi-
especially working on pub
lie roads.

he became attorney general of the

Der of the territorial and state legisla-
lures, serving in both branches. The
Scottish Rite Masonry of Oklahoma
was organized by him and he was the
first inspector general, being Of the
thirty-third degree.
One year ago he resigned as state
senator and inspector general and
went to Santa Fe, where he became
the Scottish Rite inspector general Of

once became a state builder and was
selected as one of the members of the
New Mexico constitutional convention.
Several weeks ago his health broke

improvement.

Granddaughters of Greedy Sue.

New York, March 9.-Mrs. Nixols
Greeley Smith Ford, wife of candy
Ford, a former St. Louis newspaper
man, and her sister, Ida Greeley
Smith, granddaughter of the late
Horace Greedy, have filed with the
Clerk of Westchester County papers
in two suits they have instituted in
connection with the Chappaqua estate
of their grandfather.
The defendants named in the suits
are Mrst Gabrielle Greeley Glendenin,
a daughter of Horace Greeley, and
her husband, Rev. Frank Montrose
Glendenin; James c. Farrell and

Smith, Anna w. Tompkins, Mary L.
Beecher, the New York Central &
Hudson River Railroad, the Town Of
Newcastle, Westchester County; the
County of Westchester, the New

The first action is to have cancelled
and set aside a decision, judgment
and final order of the Supreme Court
confirming sale by trustee of the
Horace Greedy property to Mrs. Glen
denim. Israel G. Haight is the trustee,
who in 1883 sold the 80 acres included
in the estate to Mrs. Glendenin. The
other defendants are persons to whom
Mrs. Glendenin subsequently sold or
leased portions of the estate.
The second action is one of waste,
and in it Mrs. Ford and Miss Smith
ask $20, 600 damages from all the de-
PENDANTS for the destruction Of certain
buildings that were on the property,
for material changes made in other
buildings, for the cutting down and
carrying away Of certain trees, for
permitting the erection and mainte-
nance Of q railway station and a tele-
phone, for the building Of certain
streets. avenues and highways, and
for permitting of other persons to
enter upon and take possession Of GER
tain portions Of the estate.
In the action to have the judgment
of the court under which Mrs. Glen
denim got the property set aside, the
summons and complaint filed in
White Plains state that in April, 1883,
Mrs. Glendenin. then Miss Greeley,
petitioned the Supreme Court for per-
mission to bring an action for the
purpose Of having . trustee appointed

have been contained in the will Of the !
