motion for judgment against

Elkins, Jr., as executors of the
last will and testament Of the late
U. S. Senator s. B. Elkins, has
been filed by Prosecuting Attor-
ney n. G. Kump in the Randolph

The motion alleges that Senator

aud ho has forfeited TO the state
of West Virginia sum Of 81, 1,oS7,-
oS7 80 for the last three years and
which the prosecutor claims must
be paid over to this state by the
executors.
1t is alleged that the late Sena.
tor Stephen B. Elkins failed to
properly list his property for
taxation In 1909. The notice
points out that property to the
amount of $3,730, 900 was omitted
and the same amount in 1910.
One-tenth Of this amount is for
feitable under the West Virginia
tax laws If it can be proven that
it was omitted and the state will
base its suit mainly on the report
of the appraisers, G. f. Snyder,
secretary to Senator Elkins at the
time of the latter's death; Colonel
Colin S. Devinstone of Washing
ton, ID. G , former secretary to
Senator Elkius and G. NJ. Henrley,
private secretary to Hon. Henry
Gassaway Davis. Their report
shows property valued at $4,025,-

statement would be made by
either the prosecuting attorney or
the executors Of tho estate. How
ever it ia understood that fierce
legal battle will result.

The official temperature was 90,
but on the st reefs thermometers
frequently stood at l05 and 106.
Every hospital in the city last

Scores of horses fell over on the
baking street, many of them be-

police. Many business places and

All seaside resorts wers crowded

the death of 28 babies directly due
