which still stand against each of them,
while they are actually in prison on

While Mr.. Whitman has not Yet an

WANTS Z|EGLER MILLIONS
Sister of Baking Powder Mans
Heir Brings Action.
ASKS HALF OF ESTATE
Her Remuneration Of Adoption
Illegal, as She Was a Minor,
Miss Brandt Asserts.

Miss Florence L. Brandt, kinder
garten teacher of Davenport, Iowa,
filed a suit in the Supreme Court yes
terday for a share Of the estate OF Will
lam Ziegler baking powder manufact-
urer. who left the bulk of his l4,GOO,-
600 estate to his adopted son. William
Ziegler. who is brother Of the plain
tiff.
Miss Brandt's father was George W.
Brandt, who was divorced from his
wife in Chicago. She is twenty-eight
years old. The father was a man of
very moderate circumstances when Mr.
Ziegler, his wealthy half-brother.. who
had no children of his own. offered TO
adopt Miss Brandt and her brother,
William, now William Ziegler. They
were adopted in 1896. The two Brandt
children lived in the home Of the baking
powder manufacturer but subsequently
Miss Brandt was persuaded by her
foster parents TO leave the Ziegler
home. and in 1902. with her signed
consent, the adoption was vacated. Her
brother continued to live with Mr.. and
Mrs. Ziegler. In the proceeding which
Miss Brandt has brought she alleges
that her being forced out OF the Ziegler
home was due TO the hatred which Mrs
Ziegler bore her
Miss Brandt makes the point that
she was under age when she signed
the papers annulling the adoption, and
that her mother. who is now Mrs.
Haney, was not made party to the
proceeding.
Miss Brandt said that in 1900 Mr..
Ziegler made gifts TO his nieces and
nephews, and that securities valued at
500 900, were placed in trust for her
from which she was to receive the in
come.
After the death OF Mr.. Ziegler the Sc
curities were deposited in a bank in
Davenport, and she was told she could
have them if she signed a release OF
all claims on the estate Of Mr.. Ziegler,
which her lawyer advised her not to do,
she subsequently obtained the securi-
ties without giving the release. She
said she delayed bringing the ac-
ton to permit her brother to reach his
majority, when he would be competent
TO consider the claim against the es-
tate.
She asks for her share Of the estate.
which she says is one-half of the
residue and one-half of the income that
accumulated since the death of Mr..
Ziegler This income now amounts to
81 100000.

The Duty of the Good Citizen.

Homer Guardian Journal: The law
abiding element of Shreveport held
mass meeting last Sunday night
and passed vigorous resolutions
against the prevailing conditions in
that city. The sheriff and city judge
were severely criticised for not do
ing their duty. This may be all very
we'll, but before the officers can en-
force the law the people must re-
form and be ready at all times to
give the officials their support and
cooperation. 1t is quite an easy
matter to criticise public officials
but if every citizen of the country
would do his duty there would De
little room to criticise the officers
As long as the citizens perjure them
selves before the courts, and refuse
to disclose to the grand juries in
formation concerning the law viola
tions it will be impossible for the Of
ficers to enforce the law

"HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES
Lecture at the Opera House Monday
Night by Jacob Riis.

On Monday night, February "a,
Jacob Riis will deliver his lecture on
How the Other Half Lives The
lecture is for the benefit of the Y.
NJ. C. A. NewsbOys Club, and prom
ises to attract a large audience if not
a crowded house. In this lecture IS
offered a treat which will be fully
appreciated when it is heard. Mr..
Riis is "a man who has done things
He was once a tramp ana then po-
lice reporter. He has experienced
the world in all its phases. In It's
reference to Mr.. Riis the Louisville
<ky) Commercial says:
"a study in black and white, light
and shadow, was encompassed in
Jacob A. Riis' lecture at Liede 'kranZ
Hall last night. 1t was a telling eX-
position of the effect of environment
on man. Some years ago Darwin,
Huxley and TyndalI showed the eff
feet of environment on the lower
animals. Their teachings are accept
ed with reasonable complacency, yet
it remained for Mr.. Riis and his fel-
low workers to show that the law
applies just as closely to human be
ings; to show that physical condi-
tions of darkness and filth infallibly
produce like conditions of mind and
morals. It was a sledge-hammer
blow at that shiftless religiosity
which brings the tract and forgets
the bread; which foolishly attempts
to purify the soul without first
cleaning and repairing the dirty
house in which it lives"

AdrianOple BOmbardment.

The Mexican revolution has alb
sorbed attention and therefore there
has been little mention given to the
progress of the war between the
Bulgars and the Turks. AS a result
of the renewed heavy bombardment
of Adrianople, the quarter adjoining
the st. Sophia mosque was devastat-
ed by fire.
1t is said the situation around Bu-
lair is unchanged. A Bulgarian col
umn is advancing through Belgrade
forest, to the west of DedkOs Lake,
in the direction of Ormanli and Is
fortifying the heights west OF 81
vaskeui.
Enver Bey, the Young Turk lead
er, who was stabbed by his soldiers
with the intent of assassination, Is
not yet dead, but is recovering from
his wounds.
It was Enver Bey who last week
made disastrous attempt to pierce
the fanks of the Bulgarian army on
the shores of the Sea of Marmora
with forlorn hope of Ottoman
troops, who were beaten back with
terrible losses. The allies attack or
Scutari has been suspended until the
completion of certain military pre-
paratiOnS.

JOHN MCCULLOUGH.
Is Operated for Appendicitis-He Is
Doing Well at the Schumpert Me-
mortal Sanitarium.

Last night between 9 and 10
o'clock John Mccullough, Commits
sioner of Public Utilities, was taken
suddenly i'll, and on calling his ply
sician he was informed that he was
suffering from appendicitis and that
an immediate operation was neces-
sary. In conformity with this an
nOuncement DR.. Lloyd and DR.. Law
rasOn removed the appendix.
1t is pleasing to note that, as re-
ported from the Schumpert Memo
rial Sanitarium, he is doing we'll.
The sudden illness of Commission
er Mccullough was known to only
few of his friends, who were shock
ingly surprised as he was apparently
we'll during the day.
1t is hoped that he will soon re-
sumo his public functions. His
friends, including the Caucasian,
wish him speedy recovery.

A Warming by Sheriff FlOurnOy.

A warning has been issued by
Sheriff Flournoy against the near
beer joints and gamblers who ars
operating on Douglas Island. He will
not only take drastic action against
these deliberate violators of the law,
but he will have published in the
newspapers the names of all the
men who go into these joints. If this
be done the names of some OF the
visitors of these joints would not
appear creditable in print. Probably
some of the visitors will make
threats of retaliation and they may,
in their extremity, determine to
wipe the editors from the face OF the
earth, but their names, if handed in
by the sheriff, will go into print re-
gardless, and don't you forget it.
The better, the safer and the sure1
way is to keep away from the joints

Two Thousand Plums i'm One Month

The National Tribune, Republican,
of Washington, d. c., says: Some
body ought to figure out the number
of jobs President Wilson will have
to bestow soon after he enters Of
flee. They will easily number 2,OO0
places that he can with proprlety
dispose of during the month of
March. The postmasters alone will
run toward 1900, for there is no
longer any question about the DEM
ocratic senators preventing the con-
firmation of Republican postmasters
now pending. That is pretty hard
for the Republican postmasters. I'm
doubtedly a goodly company OF Re-
publican postmasters whose terms
had expired year and more ago
could have been renOminated and
Iconfirmed had their names been sent
lin a year ago. But the presidential
lcampaign was coming on. Managers
who believed they were doing the
proper thing advised the President
and the Postmaster General to with
hold these denominations. In that
event the incumbents, still holding
lon, would be up and doing in the
campaign. If nominated and con-
firmed these postmasters Woult
grow fat and careless.

Another Good. Honest Notary.

There has been exposed in New
Orleans another notary, James J.
WouIfe, whose forgeries aggregate
over three hundred thousand dol
lars. On being arraigned in court
he pleaded not guilty. His victims
are of the wealthy classes. From
Woulfe led normal
life, but as others he failed in spec
ulatlon and became a reckless gam
bier. He was not lawyer. He
transacted a great deal of business
as notary. He is married and has
a son and a daughter. His bonds
aggregate $4,000. He will remain in
iail.
