GAVE HALF MILLION
TO WOMAN MEDIUM
COURT SETS ASIDE TRANSFERS
OF PROPERTY SECURED
THROUGH sswAU KEE."

NEW YORK, July 6.--An unusual
istic medium upon an old man. who
transferred to her securities worth
more than 100000, including valua-
BILE holdings of Eastman Kodak Com
pany stock. is told in an opinion by
Supreme Court Justice Clark. setting
aside transfers OF property worth
100000 during the aged mans last
illness. Two alleged spirits named
"wau Kee" and Pat" figured ex-
tensively in the testimony against the
medium.
The suit was brought by Robert C.
Watson. as executor under the will
of Morton W. Rundel. against Eliza
beth A. Holmes. in behalf of Run
ders heirs. to recover the property
transferred to Mrs Holmes, alleging
that the gifts were procured by fraud
and undue influence.
Rundel was a bachelor and for
many years conducted an art store in
Rochester. He died In November.
1911, at the age of "a years. Rundei
retired from business in 1904, and
subsequently spent his time in New
York and elsewhere. He made a. will
in 1910. of which the plaintiff was
executor. and executed a codicil on
April II. 1911.
In his will Rundeil made liberal
provision for his sister, who was his
nearest relative, and after remember
Ing certain other heirs at law, he
gave the residuary estate TO the city
of Rochester for a memorial art gal
lery. In his codicil he changed the
beauest to his sister from the in
come on 100000 to a legacy of So
500 a year. consisting OF the divi-
dends on SO shares OF Eastman Ko-
dak stock
Justice Clark said in his opinion
that Rundel and Mrs Holmes had
been acquainted for many years, and
both were spiritualists and 1t was al
legged that Rundel believed that act
ing through the defendant as a me-
dunn. he could get reliable informa-
ton from spirits. both in reference TO
his health and medical treatment,
and in business affairs.
The testimony showed that in July.
1910 when his health was not ro-
bust, Rundel took one of his frequent
trips to Atlantic City. and a few days
later Mrs. Holmes and a widowed
daughter. Mrs. Sawyer. went there to
visit him. They found him seriously
I'll of heart ailment. and Mrs. Holmes
who was over sixty, and had been a
nurse for many years undertook to
care for him. She did so for about
a month and then the party returned
home.
Mrs. Holmes was with Rundel night
and day from that time until his
death. year later.
The court found that before MrF.
Holmes began to nurse Rundel. he
had made her many gifts. and after
his death the executor found that he
had given her stock In other corpora
tons. and cash amounting to over
$4,000.
AS to Mrs. Holmes alleged commu-
nication with the spirits. "Wau Kee"
and Pat" the plaintiff offered tes-
tfmony to show that Mrs. Holmes
gave Rundel advice concerning his
health after communicating with
''wau Kae," while the spirit Pat
was the financial man In, the busi-
ness and that he gave valuable adj
vice as to stock investments"

SINKS JUST AS
PASSENGERS LEAVE
STEAMER SPRINGS LEAK AND
BARELY WINS RACE WITH
DEATH.

NEW YORK, July s.-The sound
steamer Jchn r, Wilson, which plies
between here and Stamford. Conn,
sprang a leak OFF City Island. She
at once headed for the dock at City
Island, and there just after her fifty
passengers had been landed sank.
That there was no loss OF life is
probably due to the quick action Of
Captain Harcourt. or the steamer.
Just after passing Stepping Stone
light. word was brought to him that
water was coming into the hold. He
noticed that his ship was settling. and
realized that some Of the plates. which
had already been reported weak, had
given way. Without waiting to start
his pumps. he madc the best time
he could for the dock. 1t was a
race against the rising Of the water,
and the quenching Of the fres. and
a close one The Wilson was only
about a mile of City Island. when
the troubles was first scented.
The sinking boat threw out her
shore lines at just o. little before Z
o'clock. and was warped around along
side OF the dock.
Her passengers had just hurried OF
down q gangplank when to their
Within forty-five minutes she rested
on the bottom, and all that was seen
was her stern.

Board of Trade Meeting

Seventeen members Of the board
of trade were in attendance when
the meeting was called to order
by President Dewey last Friday
night. The Secretary was un-
avoidably absent and the assistant
secretary filled his place.
Many communications, some of
considerable Importance, were
read and disposed of. The names
of several new members were pro-
posed, and it was decided that a
quantity of application blanks be
printed SO that applicants for
membership could file them with
the board of governors as the con-
stitution provides.
Mr.. Sandlin of the special COM
mittee to communicate with Mr..
How relative to the proposed pur-
chase of $4,000 acres of land in
this vicinity, reported that Mr..
How was present and would Elk
plsin his project. Mr.. How did
so, going over the matter fully
and calculating the plan as laid
out by him and his associates. Mr..
B. H. Mobley was present, and
through his questioning much
valuable information regarding
turpentine plants and process was
drawn out. No action was taken
in the matter.
Several very interesting letters
were received from Mr.. VanCamp
from Jacksonville. The same
were read and the Secretary i'm
structed to notify "Van" to re-
main at his post until further adj
vices.
1t was the sense of the meeting
that all dues should be pail up to
date, and the Secretary was given
full power to collect in all now
outstanding. In as much as there
are one or two unpaid bills, it is
hoped that all members will ar
range payment of dues by next
Friday night.
