JUDGE OvtRRULES
DEMURRER ENTERED
By Trustees in the Burbank
Will Case-Will Now
Go to Its Trial.

Demurrer by trustees of Center
township to the complaint of Mrs.
Nora B. Kibbey of Phoenix, Arizona,
and Alvin Ford Miller. Of Chicago.
against John A. Spekenhier, executor
nf the last will Of the late. GQyeraor
John A. Burbank, and the trustees, to
set aside section eight of the will
which created memorial in memory
TO his mother, the late Mary e. Bur
bank, was overruled by Judge Fox of
the circuit court on Saturday.
Although several material allega-
tions of the complainants were finally
settled by the ruling on the demurrer
Of the defendant trustees, the litiga-
tion will not be dropped until final
determination of the merits in the
case in regular trial in the Wayne cir
cult court, which likely will be held
late in the fall. Exceptions to the
ruling on the demurrer were taken
by counsel for the defendant trustees
and their answer will be filed within
a short time.
The petitioners in the case are the
sole surviving relatives of the deced-
ent. who was one of Richmond's most
prominent citizens and who was gov
ernor of the territory of North Dakota
before the territory became a state.
A few months before Gov. Burbank's
death in 1905, he drew up his will in
which he specified that his palatial
home at 1920 East Main street should
be sold when it reached the value OF
$25, 900 or more, and the money used
in purchase of business property in
Centerville which should be converted
creation of the memorial, part of il
was to be used for business purposes
and the remainder for social. recrea.
tive and educational purposes.
The heirs declare that the property
will never be worth the sum specified
in the will and on this ground and also
that the method of disposition contra
vened the statute forbidding perpetui
ties.
The title in the property is vested in
the heirs. but their title was made pre-
carious by reason of the fact the con
tinguency was imposed in the will tina,
the executor was to dispose OF the
property when it, reached a certain
specified value. The court says that
this situation virtually destroyed the
commercial value of the property and
their power to ALLEVIATE was practical
ly perpetually suspended.
The court was referred to many rul
ing and statutes in assistance to him
in Strengthening out the entangled af
fair Some rulings referred ito the
court were by English justices. Ht
has had the ruling under considera
! tion several weeks. 1t was anticipat
ed the ruling on the demurrer would
end the litigation and the step of the
trustees in taking exceptions and an
nouncing the ruling would be answer
ed, meaning that the matter woult
be carried to trial was somewhat sur
prising to the court attaches. Tht
trustees action also may mean that il
event the case is lost in the circui
court that it will be carried to the su
preme courts for a ruling. as severa
phases are presented which are unus
ual and never ruled upon by the su
preme court.

While it was well known that Mr.

announcement is viewed in the light
of a buffer to the O'Brien sentiment

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Aug. 19.,-Po-
litical leaders at the state capital have
centered their attention this week up
on the probable political outcome of
the Presidential vetoes. The vetoes
were not unexpected, but the veto
messages and the issues presented
gave tangible grounds for free dis
cussion
All Democrats and all independent
voters, from the standpoint of prin-
ciple, believed the President should
sign the wool bill. There is differ
That President Taft has weakened his
cause materially is clearly evident.
Republicans are saying that he will yet
have time to make good on tariff re-
vision; that the next congress, at his
suggestion and il accordance with the
recommendations of the tariff board.
will pass tariff bill carrying gener-
al horizontal reduction in duties.
Call It Bad Move.
Many progressive Republicans who
have watched the drift of sentiment
fear that the President has passed up
the only chance he will have. They
are inclined to believe that the next
regular session will adjourn without
doing anything more than the present
special session. The tariff board, ii
is pointed out, actuated by politics
may not recommend a downward re
vision in accordance with the express
ed wish Of the voters. Even il the
board should make recommendation
in accord with the compromise bills
which the President has vetoed and
which are still pending in congress
it is considered doubtful whether the
President can get any support from
congress. The standpatters will op
pose the President by stealth and
openly if they must. The Insurgents
it is believed, VIII hesitate to join in
the passage of bill which does no,
provide for substantial reductions and
the Democrats will oppose the Presi
dent in view of their record during
the special session and the position
of the party as expressed in theil
platforms.
President Taft's veto message, it il
said, shows a decided leaning toward.
the interests of the manufacturers al
against the consumer. Democrats ant
Independent Republicans are saying
that despite the Presidents disposi
ton to await the rumors of the tariff
board, the public has suffered suffi
GENTLY under the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law, and was therefore entitled to tn,
benefit of any doubt connected with
the schedules of the Lafollette WOO
bill.
Whether the betrayal of the Insur

! reactionary Democrats in the senat,
on the cotton bill will have any pc
litical significance can not be foretolt
at this time, according to those il
this city, who have followed the con
gressional debates. Senators Kern an,
f, Shively are being praised for standin,
with the Insurgents on this measure.
