APPEALS COURT UPHO[DS
RULING IN CROFT CASE
Believes Architect Was Still
Alive When Father Died
Year Ago.

The finding Of the District Supreme
Court that Adam II. Croft, an architect
and builder, who disappeared from
Washington in 1906 was still alive
when his father, Diller B. Croft. died
March last, was affirmed today by
the District Court of Appeals in an
opinion by Mr.. Justice Van Orsdel.
The action of the court has the eff
feet Of leaving the two other sons,
Diller f. Croft and Chester L. Croft. to
divide $4,000 belonging to their
fathers estate. The remaining $4,000
by the will Of the elder Croft was left
to Mrs. Rosa V. Croft. wife Of Adam
II. Croft, and his two children, Emory
and Edna.
Mrs. Croft received a letter from her
husband in 1905. the day after his dis
appearance. but has since received no
news from him. On the theory that he
was dead or that he would otherwise
have put in claim against his
fathers estate, the widow and chill
dren protested the probate OF the will
Of Diller B. Croft.

Testimony Of Brothers.

The brothers Of the absent man at the
trial offered testimony to show that Adam
Croft had been seen in New York and
had been communicated with over the
telephone.
Chief Justice C1abaugfl took the case
from the jury and declared they could
not guess at the matter. He sustained
the plea Of the brothers that Adam Groff
was still alive.
In affirming this action, Justice Van
Orsdel says the record discloses no cir
cumstance sufficient to overcome the pre-
sumption that the man was alive. In
the absence Of such evidence. he says,
the court acted properly In directing a
verdict.

IRISH HONOR Emmett
Two Thousand People Stirred
by Patriotic Speeches.
FREE IRELAND PREDICTED
Martyr to Liberty Declared to Have

Into a Nation.
FREE IRELAND PREDICTED

An audience that filled the National
Theater listened to tributes to the patriot
ism, valor and martyrdom of Robert
Emmett, at a meeting held last evening
under the auspices of the United Irish
Societies of the District.
Speeches that stirred the 2,00O Irish
American citizens to cheers were made by
Representatives James 3. Graham and
Henry T. Rainey of Illinois. Patrick T.
Moran. director of the Ancient Order Of
Hibernians and Rev. John T. Coolahan
of Baltimore. AS a fitting climax to the
demonstration the audience. accompanied
by the orchestra. sang God Save
Ireland
Interspersed through the program of
speeches was program of song and story
presented by sons and daughters Of Erin.
\ reserved section of orchestra seats
was occupied by a delegation from the
Seed of Freedom Sown.
The opening address was by Mr.. Moran
He said in part:
mo nobler or more ideal patriot ever
lived than Robert Emmett. There are
some who say that this boy martyr has
received TOO large share or reverence
and affection. but In view of his wonder
full sacrifice such thing is impossible.
In every town and hamlet in the United
States patriotic Irishmen are today cele-
brating his birth on Irish soil.
History tells us that the uprisisg led
by Emmett failed miserably. but l say
that seeds were sown that will gain Ire
land her independence, and that within
a short period of time. That our be-
loved country. so long torn by strife, with
her plains and valleys redeemed with the
blood of countless thousands, will one
day take a proud place among the ma
tions. / feel with my whole SOUL
Rev. Father Coolahan, in his address
compared Robert Emmett to George
Washington.
"Grandest of all Irish patriots. Robert
Emmett stands in such love and venera-
ton Of our people as George Washing
ton claims from the American nation
said he. He endeavored to lead from
oppression country that was more
ground beneath the heel of tyranny than
were the Jews under the Herods.
II wonder what Ireland could have
done that God should have allowed her
people to be plundered, her cities sacked
and blotted from the earth for so long
But as other nations have been deliv-
ered so will We, and again we can lift
our heads and go hand in hand through
the coming centuries equal among pow
ers."

Breathed Air of Liberty.

Representative Rainey following in a
eulogy of the Irish leader, closed by say
ing:
81 am here to honor the patriot who.
when the hour of sacrifice came mounted
the scaffold and suffered with a smile on
his heroic face. :
Emmett was born about the time when
the shot fired at Lexington was still ring
ing around the world when farmers were
shooting down the transgressors Of their
soil from behind fences, and when the
joyful tolling of bells In Philadelphia ain
nounced that independence had been de-
clared from England. Across the English
channel, in France, strange doctrine of
freedmo was being preached.
Reared under these auspices, Emmet
at an early age was imbued with the idea
of Irish wrongs and oppression. and his
spirit cried out at the injustice. The
towers of Dublin castle doomed above
khis home. and cannon threw a shadow
over the city.
His first ideas of what liberty meant
were gained in France. and returning with
his brother to Ireland. he collected an
army and struck a blow for liberty. II
was not his fault that it did not sue
coed; he was forced by circumstances to
commence the fray before he was ready
We see Robert Emmett tried and con.
demned by a judge and jury; see him
standing bravely in the shadow Of the
scaffold, and hear the fall of the death
trap.
''All honor to such man. His name
will live as long as the eternal hills. and
will be reverenced by Irishmen until the
end OF time. Let a great shaft of pure
white marble be erected over his humble
grave, and on the four sides emilia zoned
