That the Charles has the best mo-

It was indeed vivid reproduction

wife, had drawn a will naming the
two Minneapolis organizations among
the legatees. In Fargo today Mrs.

out the wishes of her husband, began
a legal fight to prove the contents Of

stay on the liner. His wife pleaded
with him to go with her, but he de.
clined.
Attorneys representing Mrs. Chafee
and the International Sunshine society

late today and asked that the will be
admitted to probate, even though the
original document had been lost. In
support Of their position they propos-
ed to introduce evidence showing that
the will was not, destroyed by Mr..
Chaffee. A careful search of his be-
longings has failed to disclose the doc.

considerable fame in the case, was

affidavit Of prejudice against Judge

Washington, Jan 25.-T'he activi-
ties of the United states Steel corpor-

ed to the Stanley steel committee by
Richard II. Grey, an iron and steel

Grey declared that prior to the or

his contracts
Grey outlined a contract for rebuild
ing the gunboat Bennington. one OF
the items of which was boiler tubes

Grey, "but I could not secure the

the navy department stating that the
tube industry was monopolized by AN

WALSH Wilt MAY
Be CONTESTED
Witness Says He Thinks
Banker Was of Unsound
Mind.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-There is strong
possibility, today, that the will of the
late John II. Walsh, the banker. who
died shortly after his parole from
Leavenworth penitentiary will be con-
tested by his five children.
When the will, which leaves the en-
tire estate of 100000 to the widow
was presented before Probate Com
missioner j. w. Rainey yesterday,
William r. Abbott, vice president of
The Central Trust company, and
only surviving witness to the signing
o. the will, said he believed that Walsh
was not of sound mind when the in
strument was drawn Abbott said that
Walsh had a mania regarding his
son, John w. Walsh, believing that
lac was not doing right The will was
signed three months before the hank
er was sent to prison.
Abbott said he was confident Walsh
would not have disposed of his prop
orty in the manner he did had he
been in his right mind.
Attorneys for the estate said that If
the will is refused probation Friday,
an effort viii be miEe to have the
widow appointed eXecutrlx while
Walsh's ability TO make a legal Will
Is being investigated.

NO TRACE OF BOY
HAS BEEN FOUND.

Chicago, Jan. 20.--Although Judge
Pincknek, OF the 5hevenile court. has
placed the legal custody Of fourteen
year-old Billie LINDSAY in his uncle,
william Lindsay, I wealthy Phila-
delphia contractor, the boy is today
actually in the custody of his moth
er Elizabeth Lindsay, and their
whereabouts is a mystery to the po-
lice.
After a month Of surveillance over
the movements Of Rev. Ottoman Ear
Adusht Hanish. and other members
of his un worshiping cult, the police
reported that they had no clue to the
whereabouts of the child. Judge
Pinckney condemned many OF the
practices followed at the sun temple
Of Hannish and declared that neither
the leader of the Mazdazlan religion
nor the mother of the boy, a Wabash
priestess in the temple, are fit for the
guardianship of the boy. An order
was made turning the child over to
the uncle. The police will continue to
watch the sun temple and have sent
descriptions of the bo yand his moth
er to every city In the country. They
believe the fugatiyes have left the
United States.
