EX-MRS, CURTlSS
 TO FIGHT FOR HER
 RIGHT IN MILLIONS
Will Seek Removal of Judge Banks as COnServatOr on the Ground That Appointment Was Against Public Policy

Mrs Julia Watt Morris Curttss Law renee is not giving up her inherit ance of a third of sS,000,000 Or more, and her disposition Of her own s6OO,0O because her children by one husband are pioued and apprehensive because st q ripe age she has married again and have had '-conservators'' appoint ed in Connecticut for her property and her person says the New York Ameri- can today.
 yesterdays decision at Bridgeport Conn., by a Probate Judge, against the removal of the conservator of her estate for no reason finally dispOses of the contest said her attorney, L. Laffin Kellogg interviewed by the New York American last night. Tn Connecticut. you know, we must go breore all lower boards before we can take appeal
 aOur action before Probate Judge Nobbs was merely formal; we pro- duced but one witness. Now we will appeal to the higher court.
 Aside from the appeal we will or April 15 bring an action to remove tJudRe E.. S. Banks as conSeryator o1 Mrs Lawrence's estate on the ground that his appointment was contrary to public policy.
 Publication was made for the ap- pointment by her son. Lewis Morris tC Probate Judge Banks. As Judge Banks was his attorney, the appoint -nent has to be made by another judge, and it was made by the judge sn the adjoining Jurisdiction, Probate Judge Nobbs.
 Tt happens that the term of Judge Nobbs who rendered the decision yes terday against removing Judge Banks as conservator, terminated on Janu- ary l."
 iThen how could Judge Nobbs rem der a decision as Judge?"
 MT. Kellogg answered-"He went 1T and said he still had Jurisdiction and the appointing Judge apparently up' held him.
 Thus the complicated contest over the right of this woman to contro her birthright of $600,O00 and her in. herited income from $6,000.0O0 of un developed Harlem real estate, which may by this time be worth $20,000, ,00' is left in the air again.
 She has been spending at the rate her breeding There accustomed modt of life'' as the law puts it, seemed tc entitle her to. At the period just be- fore her last marriage, which was tt her physician, pr. George Alfred Law renee of No. 675 Madison avenue, hel rate was about $1,7O0 month.

ing artillery, infantry and cavalry, now occupy Epernay and the little neighboring towns where wine riots Of the last two days have caused a loss of millions of dollars.
 For the moment, the troops seem to have the situation in hand, but there is no telling when the anger of the people over the contemplated ac- tion by the government in restoring the Department of Aube to the cham pagne district will again sweep them on to the wanton destruction of prop erty and lives.
 Unless the government gives assur- ances that it will not adopt the anti deHmination resolution, passed by the Senate, the revolution will grow worse until there won't be a wine press. cellar or vineyard left in the Aube or Marne districts
 Smoke. from the ruins on @ score of farms, casts a haze over the whole districts The government has sent |. word that 50,000 troops will be thrown into the champagne district if such a number Is needed to preserve order. From present indications the soldiers now here will be inadequate.
 While the demonstration is prinar- fly against the makers of inferior grades of wines, who sought to profit by the removal of the delimination
 
 growers have also suffered in the in- discriminate rioting. It is estimated that more than 100000 gallons of champagne have been emptied into the strets Of Epernay, Ay, Damery, Pyrey, Mareucal, Disey and Ventuil, where the rioting has been the worst.
 Paris, April 13--A dispatch from Ay says that a fresh fire was started there this morning, by the wine riot CTS, and that the village is in danger of being completely destroyed.
 A dispatch to the Patrfa says that pfllaging was continued in many of the Marne towns today. Venteuil is barricaded against the troops who have received orders to clear the town att any cost. If the rioters continue their resistance here, a serious clash will undoubtedly result. Two thou sand wine growers are reported as marching against Rheims. The riot CTS have cut most of the telegraph and telephone lines and communica- tion with the scene of the disorders is difficult. All effoxts to reach the sub-prefect have failed.

ADDS TO FREE LIST.
senator Cumnnins offers Amendments
to Reciprocity Bill.

Washington. June 2S.-Referring to
the consideration of the Canadian reci-
procity question as the drama now in
progress in the senate of the United
States, Senator Cummins of Iowa, to-
day delivered a speech on the reel
procity bal and offered important
amendments to its agricultural pro-
visions.
Senator Cummins' amendments pro-
pose to admit free from Canada both
raw and manufactured agricultural
products, including fresh meats, canned
meats, barley, malt, flour, iron, steel,
wooden goods, cotton goods, silk and
leather goods. These amendments APP
ply only on the American side of the
line. Senator Cummins said it was ap-
parent Republicans and Democrats
favoring the bill had determined to
submit to the repeated statement that
the president would accept no amend
ments to the Canadian agreement. Il
make no comment on his situation
said he. save that it seems to mean
abdication of the duties of the senate
and an abandonment of its RESPONSE
bility.' Senator Cummins attacked the
combination of regular Republicans
and Democrats to pass the reciprocity
bill. 1T seems to be conceded" he
said, that a minority of the Repub-
Vocated high and indefenSible duties in
the tariff law on manufactured pro-
ducts and a majority of the Democrats
who have professed adherence to the
principle of a tariff for revenue only,
purpose to pass this reciprocity bill
without change
The bill, he said, would accomplish
only two important things. Admit
free of duty the agricultural products
of Canada and admit small quantity
of wood pulp and print paper
After the passage of the bill through
this combination Senator Cumnins
said the Democrats expected to make
a combination with Republicans who
favor tariff revision to pass other bills.
Tt is perfectly plain to me- he add
ed, that the Republicans whom
have mentioned will be valiant enough
in defense Of the high duties for the
rich and powerful manufacturers.

MUST NOT FILL IT.
County EnjOined From Putting Dirt
Under MeIan Bridge Extension.

Judge A. w. Dana today granted a
permanent injunction against the
county commissioners, V. r. Park
hurst, county engineer, and the dixie
contractors, preventing them from
filling the excavations under the
Melan bridge extension. The order
from the court came after Judge
Dana unsuccesfully urged the county
officials and the contractors to COM
promise their trouble.
Petition for an injunction was filed
last week by the city and a temper
airy restraining order was issued by the
court. In the trial of the case Satur-
day afternoon, Judge Dana again
urged a compromise of the matter,
but without results.
The city claimed that it has spent
$40, 900 to add two new spans to the
bridge across the Kaw in an effort to
widen the waterway. When the con-
tractors excavated under the new
arches, the dixie contractors promptly
filled the holes with fresh dirt. They
refused to stop and the matter was
taken before the court. Testimony
showed that the city was paying SIS
cents a yard to remove the dirt, while
the county was paying 80 cents a yard
to fill the holes made by the bridge
contractors.

Nothing son. Ruth johnson.

Woodbine. Kan. June 2S.-Wood-

afraid of wolves. While Miss Ruth
Johnson, the pretty a year old daugh-
ter of S. A. Johnson, near Woodbine
was blowing corn for her father, who
was hurt in a runaway recently, she
discovered a wolf and half grown
pup at one end of the field. She made
up her mind to go wolf hunting the
following day which resulted in her
catching a wolf pup. But this did not
satisfy Ruth, so she went out the next
day also with her shepherd dog and
after she had been gone about an hour
came home Juggling two more young
coyote pups which she had captured
with the aid of her dog in a pasture
near the Johnson home.
