Estate
(1y Associated PresS.)


New York, April 5-A grey haired
woman of 68 years appeared today
before Surrogate Cohalan and as
serted that she is the widow of Gen.
Thomas T. Eckert, former president
of the Western Union Telegraph Co.,
for possession of whose $4,000, 900 es-
tate two sons are contesting. The
witness married Gen'l Eckert, she de-
clared in the fall of 1908, and has the
marriage certificate together with the
deed given her by Gen. Eckert to his
house on West eighty.sixth street lin
a safe place in Washington, D. c."
She was given until Thursday to pro.
duce them.
The woman, who dclared that she
was also the widow of E. L. Daveis,
said that on the day Of the alleged
marriage to Gen. Eckert, she lunched
with the general who told her that
"they were prosecuting him. and
threatening to put him in an asylum
and that some woman wanted to mar
ry him." They took a long automo-
bile ride-terminating at house
where man performed a marriage
ceremony and gave her the certifl-
cate. Later she said, Gen. Eckert
gave her the deed although she never
lived with him.
Mrs. Davies first met Gen. Eckert
she said in 1867, when he was presi-
dent of the Atlantic & Pacific Tele-
graph Company, and was employed
by him then as a telegraph operator.
Her sole motive for cssning into the
case, she added, was to obtain recog-
milton of her widowhood as she "did
not want penny of the money"

With practical unanimity between the president and the conservationists on the method.to be followed in hand ling Alaskan resources, why should both sides waste their energy in vitu peration? It will not be easy to pass a leasing measure through Congress. The Western interests, the old line Republicans, and several other factors, will be bitter in their opposition. Only the united support of all those who believe in real conservation can accom- plish anything. It is a singular condi- tion that since the conservation issue became acute, there has never been a time when the subject was really brought to test in Congress. Bill after bill has been introduced, but not earnestly supported. Neither the con- servationists nor the administration men have given their first energies to getting action. The treatment of the subject has been critical on one side and defensive on the other, but con- structive on neither.-Boston Herald.
 Thomas Riggs, Jr., chief of the Alas ka boundary survey, whose heroism in succoripg a tribe of smallpox stricken Indians at Rampant House prevented the spread of the disease to other tribes, must make a special report to the government. Whether he will be censured for disbnrsing government stores without authority from his superiors, or whether he will receive a medal for humanitarian act, is a ques- tion to be settled at Washington. The epidemic of smallpox among the h. dians at Rampant House, within the Arctic circle, threatened every Indian in the district, including those at Fort Yukon. The Indians at Rampant were on Canadian soil and were not strictly of any consequence to the United States government. Hence the inquiry as to the expenditure of about 5400 in tents, clothing and medical stores, for natives, which were wards of foreign government.
 The worst punishment many Alas kans will wish the manager of Senator Stephenson's last campaign, wherein he spent something like thirty thous- and dollars for beer and cigars alone, will be-that they exile him to Nome and make him conduct just such an- other campaign in the coming election for delegate, says the Nome Nugget. With thirty thousand to "take care of the boys" and twenty thousand for hall rent, brass bands and advertising, we could get along fairly well with such manager. It would surprise fellow with such campaign fund the follow ing he would get in Nome. His heart would warm up to the brother like de- votions the voters would feel toward him. His head would also expand, ur- less he was able to read the riddle in the bottom, of the glasses. His follow ing would stay with him right up till the very closing of the ballot boxes then in the cold damp dawn of the morning after, it would require several resms of asbestos fiber paper to hold the opinions be would have of the feI- lows who failed to put cross opposite his candidates name, but worked what is known az the double cross" in the political game.
