ADMITS SHE IS NOT
WIDOW OF ECKERT
Ayers Member of Generals
Family Suggested Claim.

New York. April 1O.-Mrs. E. L. Davies
Dore. the self-proclaimed widow of Gen.
Thomas T. Eckert, former head of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
came to the Surrogates Court to-day with
her son and admitted that she swore
falsely when she declared that she mar
ried Eckert in 1908. The only explana-
ton she would give of her motive for
having made such a statement was that
a member of the Eckert family had told
her to do so and she was afraid to
disobey the order.
Surrogate Cohalan Intercepted Mrs.
Dore about several cases in which she
is alleged to have appeared as claimant
without any justification for her claims.
To ali of these questions she answered
that she told the truth" or didn't re-
member" She said that so far as Mr..
Eckert was concerned she wouldn't
marry, him, because he was "a course,
vulgar, and uneducated man."
When Mrs. Dore persisted in saying
that a member of the Eckert family,
who is interested in the contest for the
s., 100000 estate, had told her to come to
court and make her false claim, the sur
rogate said to her son:
81 don't want to send your mother to
Jail, but you ought to take some steps
to protect society against her. She is
evidently feebleminded, and 1 advise you
to have her placed in an institution where
she can be taken care Of"
Mr. Dore stated that he would do so as
soon as possible. He was then allowed
to take his mother home.

GeorgetownSeismograph De-
tects Slight Earthquake.

The seismograph at the Georgetown
University last night recorded a slight
tremor of an earthquake. believed to have
occurred from 5000 to 5000 miles from the
instrument The first motion was detect
ed by the delicate instrument at 1910 a.
m, and continued to 2:57 p. m. The great
est movement of the earth was between
l so and ZIP p. m.
The earthquake was recorded on the
vertical and horizontal seismographs
The length of the first tremors gave
Prof. F. A. Tondorf. in charge Of the
seismograph, the data by which he es-
timated the distance from the instrument.
II do not believe much damage was
caused by the earthquake" said Prof.
Tondorf. THE tremor was very slight
and would indicate an earthquake of no
serious dimensions

WOMAN MAYOR NOW
HUNkEWELL'S BOSS

Hunnewell, Kan, Dec. 25.-Mrs.
Ella Wilson, mayor, reigns supreme
in Hunnewell. All but three members
of the troublesome city council have
resigned, and the mayor no longer can
be confronted with the defiance of the
city council that "if She does not sign
it we will pass the measure over her
Veto" When she vetoes a measure,
that ends 1t, and if a councilman de-
s,res to obtain the passage of a meas
IRE he must be certain the mayor ap-
proves IL and will sign it. This makes
the councilmen more considerate of
the mayor. When they meet they are
not as defiant as they were before Mrs.
Wilson appealed to Governor Stubbs.
The governor answered the appeal by
instructing the attorney general to
bring suits to oust the six councilmen.
This he did, and as the cost of the
suit might fall upon the councilmen if
they were ousted, those who had prop
erty at once resigned. The suits are
proceeding, however. and will be heard
by the state supreme court In Febru-
airy. Meantime the council of three
ard the woman mayor are conducting
the affairs of the city without any
trouble.
