DECLARED SANE
By COURT, SHE
SPURNS CHILDREN
Mrs. W0rl Was Adiudged In
sane at Their Instance
in 1894.
CHANCELLOR ORDERS HER
ESTATE RESTORED TO HER
Special Masters Report Exon
crates Sons and Daughter
in Their Attitude.

Through the signing of a writ of
supersedeas by Chancellor Mahlon Pit
ney, setting aside a judgment that she
was insane, Mrs. Mary Campbell Worl,
sister of Brigadier- General Edward A.
Campbell, regains possession of an
estate amounting to over $4,000 and
comes off victorious in legal battle
with her three children covering q
period of seventeen years.
The children are DR.. Edward e.
Worl, superintendent of the bureau of
contagious diseases; Mrs. Mabel
Cyphers Heath and Archibald Cyphers,
all of this city. In 1894 they instituted
proceedings that resulted in their
mother being adjudged of unsound
mind, and her money was placed in
the custody of the Fidelity Trust Com
pany, which was named as her
guardian. She then instituted pro-
ceedings contesting this action, and has
finally triumphed.
Mrs. Worl, who is 70 years old, is
living at the Continental Hotel. When
interviewed by / STAR reporter she
displayed extreme bitterness against
her children, declaring: Thank God. l
am at last free from those cruel chill
dren."
On the other hand her children in
sist that their action was not induced
by any mercenary motive, as they did
not gain control of the money in dis
pute, but that they acted only through
a desire to safeguard their mother s
interests from herself. They are up
held in their contention that they were
actuated BY no spirit of vindictiveness
by the report of Judge Francis Child,
special master, before whom testimony
was taken and who referred to their
attitude In the litigation as fair, dig
nified and going no further than was
necessary.
Can Be No Appeal.
With the settlement of the case, from
which there can be no appeal, there
seems to be little possibility of a re-
conciliation between Mrs. Worl and her
children. It is declared by John r.
Hardin, counsel for DR.. Worl and his
brother and sister, that the children
hold no enmity toward their mother,
but that she avoids them and looks
upon them as enemies of her welfare
Mrs. Worl was represented in the It'll
'gation by Senator Harry V. Osborne,
Among the alienists who testified in
her behalf were DR.. Britton D. Evans,
superintendent of the State Hospital
for the Insane, at Morris Plains; DR..
Charles Young, of this city, and DR..
Edward r. Lane, of Caldwell Oppos-
ing their opinion that Mrs. Worl was
sane were the diagnosis of circular In
sanity offered by DR.. William II. HICKS.
of this city, and Frederick Horsford,
of Morris Plains.
During the progress of the case Mrs.
Worl was supported by her brother,
General Campbell. and her sisters, Mrs,
Edith L. Clark, Mrs. Jeseie Harcourt
ard Mrs. c. Elizabeth Smith, all of this
city, who shared with Mrs. Worl the
estate of their father, the late David
Campbell.

NJ. G. Williams, who is in charge of
the campaign of collection. and who
has had much experience in similar
work throughout the country. an
nounced that at this stage of the cam
palgn Newark should have to be on a
level with other cities, about 55 per
cent. OF the total money required. As
a matter of fact about so per cent. has
been obtained.
tn Rev. Louis Shreve Osborne, rec
tor of Trinity Episcopal Church, de-
livered a three-minute address TODAY
after the subscriptions had been an
nounced. Mr.. Osborn said that a.
wealthy man had told him recently
that Newark was hard place to get

education that would make things
easier for those who followed to get
money for other worthy projects.

give her s25 If she went at him right

Henry c. Cousins secretary of the
Y. NJ. C. A, said that he had heard
that one of the objections of those
who were slow to give was that the
association had bought a costly site
and had not gone about the project in
as businesslike a way as the Y. NJ. C.
A., which had stcured cheaper site
on a side street. He pointed out that
the Y. w. C. A. site cost considerably
less than the Y. M. CA plot

Zaner, a well known special officer. al his sta ble this afternoon while the latter was try ing to break up the alleged sale of liquor at the place. Immediately afterward Chatham forced lady nearby to alight from her buggy. He jumped Ipto the ve- hice and drove away.
 Chief Glosson and a posse armed with rifles pursued the fugitive in an automo- bile southward. They met the horse and buggy coming back, however, and it is believed that Chatham sought refuge in the mountains nearby
 Zaner recently shot and captured Will MeGuffn in his pitched battle with An niston police, resulting in the death of Officer Cunningham. Both as a deputy revenue officer and special policeman he has a good record. He was shot without warning, Chatham walking from behind him and emptyng three shots into his stomach He was operated on at a hos- pital tonight and it Is said he may re- cover.
 Chatham became notorious as an opera : tor of the so-called "Tige within the shadow of the church. which was con demned by Minister Belt White.

Teachers Meet at Girard-Citizens Enthusiastic Over New
 Highway

Girard, August 9.-(Special)-At re- cent meeting of the Girard city council Nick Jefferson of north Girard was elect ed to the school board to fill the unex- pired term of J. F. Hill, resigned The date for opening the fall term was set for September H. matriculations to con- tinue for three days previous to that date.
 The Russell county teachers institute will convene at Scale on September IS, and continue one week. according to a law passed by the recent legislature All the teachers of the county will be re- quired to attend. Strong educators have been designated by the state department to conduct the institute.
 Petitions are being circulated in the city asking the excise commission of Girard not to grant license to sell liquor in any of the buildings within seventy five feet of the end of either of the bridges across the river to the city of Columbus, Ga. The commission mee
 day to take up such matters and hear such complaints and petitions, and to de- eide what houses and districts may be used for such purposes.
 The new Columbus to the Gulf high way movement is of great interest to the people Ol thus tilN, NfiO Have dItdbS liii6 connection with the Columbus end of the new road. A good new steel bridge spans the Chattahoochee from north Girard to Columbus, and soon the splendid concrete structure, in course of construction, will span 1t in lower Grard. With this fine connection and the system of good roads under way in Russell county Girard will afford a connecting point for highways. The Scale and Hurtsboro branch of the county system Is nearing the city limits on the southside. This system will give a splendid highway to all points in the county at an early date.
 The state high school commission, con- sisting of the governor, superintendent of education and auditor will soon visit Russell county for the purpose of locat- ing the county high school. County Su- perintendent of Education DeGraffenred is advertising the matter in the county papers so that all wishing to apply for the location of the institution in their section may begin to make the necessary preparation. It is likely that several towns of the county will enter the con- test.

MAKE SUNDAY WAR ON CATERP|LLARS Jacksonville Normal Opens Sept. 6-Begin High
 way Survey

Anniston, August 9.-(Special News received here from Alexandria valley, one of the chief farming sections of this coun- ty, is to the effect that the caterpillar cotton pest appeared in that section on Saturday night in great profusion, and that on Sunday very little attention was paid to the Sabbath. as everybody in the valley was engaged in pulling the OK from the ditch,' or fighting the pest.
 In an interview given out here Tuesday County Demonstration W. J. Moore stated that the pest is not confined to Alexandria valley, but that the caterpillars have made their appearance in nearly every section of the county. second growth has just appeared in some places, he says, and they seem more numerous than the first plague. Paris green and other poison has been ordered In large yquanu- ties and is being used in abundance, though a large part of the crop has all ready been destroyed, and it Is feared that the pests will attack the young corn crop.
 Besides the damage wrought to the cotton crop by the pests. 1t is said that the cotton crop has deteriorated re- gently, and the farmers and local farm students are unable to account for this condition It is said that land which few weeks ago gave promise of yielding bale to an acre will now hardly yield one-third of a bale to that acre.
 c. w. Daugette. president of the State Normal school at Jacksonville, an nounces that that institution will open on September and that the teachers will begin to arrive by Saturday. Pres na, lad acl,a .r institutes in Clay, Chiffon, Shelby, St. Clair. DeKalb and Marshall counties recently. He is now on tour of the state and says he expects at least 300 students at the Normal this year. The city, he says is already beginning to show the effects of the approaching ses- sion. Several new houses have been occupied for the year, and there prom ises to not be vacant cottage in the town when the school session is we'll under way. The faculty this year is larger than ever before.

Cobb has begun work on the model state highway in this county, which will be built under the supervision of state engineers The work started Monday at Mahlep a small station on the Louisville and Nashville railway and will extend to this city, the work costing si000 the expenses being shared between the state and the county.
 As soon as the survey is completed profles will be submitted to the coun- ty commissioners. and they will ad- vertise for bids to do the work They will have the right to reject all bids however. as the work will be done by day labor if this is deemed advis- able. Engineer Boyd, who was here Monday will return to the city as soon as the commissioners decide on the way in which the road shall be built

DeKalb Grand Jury Returns Record Number Indictments-CrOps
 Are Fairly Good

Fort Payne, August 29.-(Special) )-rhe Tax assessor of Dekalb county has just completed and turned over to the judge of probate the tax books for the year 1911. The amount of taxes for this county will be over $67,0oO, which is an increase over last year of about 5000
 The board of county commissioners, as- sisted by the back tax commissioner and tax assessor, have completed the work of raising property owners in this coun- ty, and their report shows a raise of something over sl5OOo. This goes to show that the taxpayers must be listing their property at a fair valuation.
 The grand jury, which has been very busy for the last two weeks, made it's day morning, and was dismissed. The number of indictments found at this term of court was 147, and embraced mainly minor offenses.
 l. M. Presley has been appointed coun- ty solicitor by Judge Appleton to take the place of O. II. Collins, resigned. MT. Presley is well known attorney of this place, and the appointment is satisfac- tory, as MT. Presley acted in this ca pacity a number of years ago.
 A report from John B. Isbell. who has charge of the government experimental crops for this county, shows that he has 22 cooperative plots and 26 demon- strative plots scattered throughout the county and all doing well. He is taking great deal of interest in the work and expects to make a fine showing this fall when 1t is probable that the farm CTS will have a county fair
 The crops of all kinds are generally good throughout the county, although the excessive rains of a few weeks ago threatened to do great damage to the cotton. So far DeKalb has escaped the ravages of the cotton worm, boil weevil and caterpillar.
