Widow Lost No Time.

Attorneys in probate court do no..
as a rule, try to delay proceedings
much. The moment that Judge Ross
enters the door he is surrounded by
lawyers who wish "just a minute" OF
his time, and he walks through crowd
of them to the bench. Reports are
filed and wills are probated, attorneys
fees are fixed in record time by the
Judge. More speed than usual was
used recently in the probation of a
will.
A colored attorney walked rapidly
Into the courtroom, followed by large
colored woman. She had her sleeves
rolled up to the elbows and appeared
to have come from the wash tub. Her
manner was businesslike.
"Ah wants to probate NAH husbands
will" she said.
Judge Ross went through the usual
procedure. He read the will and asked
the usual questions. Then he began
making the usual notations.
And when did he dte?" the Judge
asked.
'Jes about a half hour ago." was
the answer.-Indianapo News.

may left the Carpathia late last night
and went to the rear of the dock
where the Offices of the Cunard line
was located. He was guarded by de-
tectives and only limited number of
newspaper men were admitted to his

He said: 'The last one. left from

He said regarding the collision that
the Titanic hit the iceberg a CHANGING
blow and that she slid off, and that in
his opinion and in the opinion of ex-
