WIDOW LOSES FIGHT
Mrs, HutChinS Denied Monthly
Allowance of $500.
COURT ACTS FOR THE SONS
Capacity in Which Her Claims Are
Made Must Be
Shown.
COURT ACTS FOR THE SONS

Justice Wright. in Equity Court No. 2.
today declined to grant the request OF
Mrs. Rose Keeling Hutchins, widow of
Stilson Hutchins, for an order on William
J. Dante, trustee of the Hutchins estate,
to pay over to her monthly $500 out OF
the income from the real estate. The
court held that until Mrs. Hutchins de-
cided in what capacity she made claim
to the allowance a court Of equity could
not grant the requested relief.
Mrs. Hutchins set forth in her petition
that she is entitled to at least one-third
of the net income from the real estate,
whether any of the three Wills lett by
her husband be admitted or If he be de-
clared to have died intestate. The court
was told today that the monthly allow
ance of $500 for household expenses
granted to Mrs. Hutchins by Chief JUS
tice Clabaugh last October had been dis
continued by the trustee on the death
OF Stilson Hutchins.
Two Sons Oppose.
Objection to the allowance of the re-
quest Of the widow came today from Lee
Hutchins and Walter s. Hutchins. sons
Of the deceased. who were represented
by Attorneys William G.. johnson and
e. II. Thomas. Both lawyers attacked
the JURISDICTION OI lHc SOuI "
grant the request OF the widow.
Mr.. johnson pointed out to the court
that Mrs. Hutchins occupies dual capac-
ity toward the estate, both as widow and
legatee.
II she wishes to renounce the bequest
of IS per cent of the estate absolutely
allowed her under the will Of 1910, and
determines to take her dover In the
estate. the lawyer stated, her claim
to the share of the income is para
mount and would be Immediately rec
ognized. AS legatee, he Sokerted, she
might only be granted an advance by
the Probate Court on a proper show
ing and after furnishing bond. But
this advance. he suggested. could only
be made after a will had been pro-
appointed to administer the estate.
Attacks Jurisdiction.
Attorney Thomas attacked the jurisdic-
ton OF the Equity Court to pass any or
der In the premises or to approve or val
idate any previous order in the cause.
He pointed out that no service was had
on Stilson Hutchins. and that only since
the death OF his father had Walter s.
Hutchins any interest in the estate. and
not until then had he come into posi-
tion to be made party to the cause.
since the death of the father, he assert
ed. no process had been served on the
son, and the court had acquired no jul
risdiction over him.
Attorneys Cuttings & Chamberlin
argued that the deed in trust, the basis
Of the equity suit, gave Mrs. Hutchins
an equitable interest in the real estate
and in it's income. The court did not
take this view of the matter. and clear
ly indicated that no relief can be grant
ed the widow until her election to take
under the will or to ask for her dover.

Harmon Has Big Majority.
The democratic party provided in its
call that the candidate receiving the
largest presidential preference vote shall
be permitted to name his own six dele
gates at large to the national convention.
This will give Gov. Harmon an opportuni-
ty to further increase mis- number Of dele
gates to the Baltimore convention.
Gov. Harmon's majority, it is believed,
will exceed that Of Col. Roosevelt.
The exact vote in the democratic pref
erential contest IL not known, but re-
ports from 735 precincts out Of 5,192 In
the state indicate that Harmon has re-
ceived 1900 In those precincts. while
Clark received ITO and Bryan 155.
OF the f1fty-nine counties, Gov. Harmon
carried the same number as Col Roose-
Welt. and in the fourteen counties carried
by Wilson. Taft. on the republican ticket,
failed to get one OF them.
Gov. Harmon, who lives in the same

STILL ROOM FOR INQUIRY
Press Agent Activity in De-
partments Could Be hvesti-
gated, Thinks Mr.. Henry.

II think we have established definitely
that there is something to investigate In
the press agent activities Of government
departments said Representative Henry
of the House committee on rules today.
"but this committee will drop the matter
as it stands. There are several investi-
eating committees in the House at pres
emit. and any one OF them is authorized
to investigate this phase Of departmental
activity. As far as ! am concerned, the
subject will be left for any committee
which wants to find out about the SUBJ
ject in it's own special government depart
ment for which 1t was organized"
Following the Akin resolution to fnves-
tigate the press agents OF government
departments and bureaus. the rules COM
mittee concluded q hearing yesterday, al
which it was definitely stated that the
ranking privilege OF the Department OF
Agriculture was being employed to dis.
seminate "news' matter which was not
accepted as legitimate news by many
newspapers.
Calls Reports "Garbled."
The Moss Investigating committee. hav-
ing as It's special field Of endeavor the
expenditures in the Department OF Agri-
culture, is authorized to take up the
subject of the reports sent out on the
subject of the meat investigation. The
Akin resolution termed them "garbled. -
Every other government department
has similar investigating committee and
all Of them have been working overtime.
Whether or not they would take up the
press agent question could not be learned
today.

gates, but the Roosevelt people are equal
" positive In their predictions OF sweep
ing the state. Ex-Govs. Fort and Stokes
are backing Roosevelt and incidentally
are candidates for the United States SEN
ate. Ex-Gov. Franklin Murphy Is giving
his support TO Taft
The New Jersey fight IL increased by
the bitterness between Gov Wilson and
his opponents. The acrimony of the con-
test in the republican ranks, though,
has lessened interest in the democratic
fight
Primaries to Be Held.
After New Jersey the only state to hold
primaries is South Dakota. These will
come June 4. Whether the President
will go there has not been discussed, 1t
is said. South Dakota has only ten dele
gates in the national convention, but the
seriousness of the fight might make these
an important factor. La Toilette has
pretty effective organization in that state.
and will campaign there. Roosevelt Is
scheduled to go, too.
The Taft people claim to be better fixed
in South Dakota than in any other west
ern state. Senator Gamble and Repre-
sentatives Burke and Martin are for Taft,
and have been working for him a long
time. Senator Crawford Is for Roosevelt.
In a three-cornered fight there the Taft
people say they will win.
The Texas state convention meets May
D, the same day as the New Jersey pri-
maries. and Arizona's state convention
will be held June 3, six delegates to be
elected.
Talks With Cabinet Members.
President Taft did not give much at
tention to politics today after reaching
the White House. He began work with
the members of his cabinet. taking up
important business needing immediate
consideration. Attorney General Wicker
sham was with him for some time. Sec
rotary Stimson was the next caller, and
discussed the appointment of two major
generals and three brigadier generals In
the army. Mr.. Stimson said that when
the appointments are announced they will
come from the War Department.
Secretaries Meyer and Nagel followed
the other cabinet officers and before the
day is over the President will have
cleaned up, with all his cabinet officers,
everything that is pending at this time,
giving him freedom for his political work
for the next four or five days.
Senator Murray Crane and Senator
Oliver of Pennsylvania went to the execu-
tive offices to see the President. but found
that he was in the private library of the
White House, where he remained
throughout the day.

Three Slopes Companies Left
90 Same Train for Devils

Co. A, N. D. N. G., left Bismarck
this morning on train No. 6 to which
their special car was attached. The
company is under command of Capt.
Murphy and Lieutenants Hines and
Winter. The boys will be gone about
ten days and the encampment will be
at Devils Lake instead Of near Sparta,
Wis, where it was originally intended
to hold the encampment maneuvers
this year. This Bismarck company
will make a good showing this year,
as they are we'll over the number re-
quired and considerable attention has
been given to drill. That the material
welfare of the company will be as.
sured Chef Minear has gone along to
look after the eats" and a special
fund was provided for some extras to
be handed out to all the good boys.
The same train to which the Bis
marck car was attached carried the
Dickinson and Mandan companies,
and all the companies car were TAX

train was made up for Devils Lake.

The total number or deaths for the

The number of deaths of residents
of the city was Is and for the same
period in 1911 was rs.
The death rate, among residents,
for the past six months, equals AS
per thousand annually, a remarkably
low rate of mortality.
The high death rate among non
residents is very unsatisfactory and
gives our city a bad record in Off
cial mortality statistics, as all deaths
are registered where they occur.
From the short time that many Of
these cases are in the hospitals it
looks as If dying patients were shipp-
ed here to get rid of them. If physi-
clans would refuse to sign death GER
tificates where patients are brought
to hospitals in a dying or hopeless
condition, then, such cases could be
referred to the city health officer for
Investigation, under section 8 Of the

OLD settlers
ENJOYED PICNIC
Festivities at Painted Woods
Thoroughly fojoged by Old
Timers Of the Slope

Painted Woods was a mecca for old
settlers yesterday, and for the more
recent settlers as well. The annual
Cd Settlers rlcnic was held at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver Peterson.
The day gave promise of ideal wea-
ther and the yard was early filled with
automobiles and other vehicles which
brought people from far and near.
Soon groups of old timers were found
everywhere unier the shady trees re-
counting early experiences. The
young people were engaged in all
kinds of sport and the day passed
away all too rapidly.
Prominent among the Bismarckers
were Mine Host Tatley Of the Grand
Pacific who has entertained the cd
timers to many a hearty meal at mis-
hostelry. Hon. E. A. Williams who has
helped and is still helping to pre-
scribe laws and rules Of conduct; the
genial Louis Larson who furnished
these same old timers with the right
brand Of shoes back in the last CEN
fury; Judge Winchester, Supt. Wig
ness and many others. From Mclean
county we met King John, a bunch
of county commissioners, August
Johnson and others.
1t is an inspiration to any one to
behold this large group of sturdy pio-
neers, men and women, whose years
have been spent in opening UP and
%subduing the great Missouri Slope
empire. Time has left it's mark on
most of them. They have seen hard
times and experienced many severe
trials, but their sturdy courage never
wavered and they nave remained to
witness a great transformation. What
we now need is some abe historian
who would interview each n OF
these pioneers and draw from them
their experiences as matters of his
tory. The writer feels that exceed
ingly interesting reading matter
would thus be chronicled and valuable
material be gathered for historical
use.
