Cambridge. Mass, Nov. 3.-"Tresno
Dan" the California seeker for a share
In the 100000 estate OF the late Daniel
Russell, OF Melrose, is declared the
rightful clainlan In h report filed in
the supreme o today by Gilbert A.
Pevey. master in the case, who listened
for eleven months to the testimony.
Fresno Dan" says the master, Is I'M
doubleday Daniel Blake Russell, long
lost son Of Daniel Russell.
Dakota Dam" the rival claimant
from Dickinson, N. D.. Is declared to be
James Delbert Russell. He has neither
the mental, moral, physical MOI intel
lectual characteristics Of the Russell
family. avs Mr.. Pevey.
The master calls the courts attention
to the testimony given by two witnessed
for the Dakota claimant. which he said,
was grossly false.
The report OF the master settles the
case SO far as the facts are concerned
and any appeal must be based on
questions Of law.
The Russell will case has been before
the Massachusetts courts for four years
and has occasioned w unusually long
hearings, first In the probate court,
from the adverse decision OF which the
North Dakota claimant appealed, and
second, before Master Pevey. 1t was in
the midst Of the probate hearing that
the claimant now declared to be the
rfghtful heir jointly with William c..
Russell. another son of the merchant,
was discovered at Fresno, Cal. He was
accepted by the Russell family.
Counsel for the Dakota claimant filed
with the court rs objections to the
masters findings In asked that Mr..
Pevey be required to report In full the
evidence pertaining to the various OBJ
jections.
The principal objections relate to the
finding OF the master that the Dakota
mar Is not the SON of Daniel Russell,
that William c. Russell is no mentally
deficient and that the intfmation that
two of Dakota Dams" witnesses com
mitted perjury,

RIVAL CURE OFFERED
FOR WHISKY TREATMENT

Huron. S. D.. Nov. 3D.. w. Dake,
a prominent farmer residing neal Wes-
sington, s. D., has given out a sugges-
ton for h cure Of hog cholera, which
he believes will not only stop The
spread Of the disease, but will cure it.
Mr.. Dake bases his belief on an expert
ence Of his own.
Thirty five years ago Mr.. Dake was
employed at a soap factory at Rock
ford, ILL.,. when a similar plague of hog
cholera was sweeping that part Of the
country. Great numbers of hogs had
become infected. those at the SOAP fac
tory among the others. The hogs that
died from cholera were put in the
rendering retort and after the grease
vas cooked cut Of them the refuse was
dumped In the pens where the infected
hogs were kept. All of them that ate
the meat recovered n were not again
affected by the disease. Some could
not eat all N they died. The cure
was a marked one.
Mr.. Dake does not think that the
dead hogs should necessarily be
steamed or boiled. but he suggests that
the be cooked in some way
and fed to the infected hogs.

cording to- value. German business
interests are insisting that. the ex-
porters' valuations of goods exported
to the United States under the COM
ing tariff law shall be accepted at our
ports as the real valuations in fixing
the duties to be collected, and their
government has made representations
moving both the president and secre-
tary Of state to urge upon Count Won
Bernstorff, its ambassador at Wash
ington, the great desire of the United
States for German representation at
San Francisco. %S52 + h.
Apparently, the conviction that
Great Britain will not participate II
the exemption clause remains has had
little influence at Washington. The
recent discussion of treaties in the
senate showed sentiment in that body
to be much stronger against revoca-
ton or arbitration than had been sus-
pected by those not knowing the feel
ing of the country. The government
at washington will undoubtedly ap-
propriate sum large enough to make
a magnificent United States exhibit
at San Francisco But it would be
better that worlds fairs in this lcoun-
try should cease or. be forever for
gotten than we should suffer them to
be made a means of foreign dictation
of our internal policy. German OBJ
lection to notifications of values which
must involve examinations of the
books and accounts of foreign trade
concerns seems reasonable. But to ad-
NIT foreign goods, which are taxed &C
cording to value, without such veri-
fcation, would be putting US nearer
to absolute free trade in everything
than even the Underwood bill propos-
es. Under such valuations Mr.. Wilson
would likely find his estimate Of a
$39, 100000 reduction in import rev
enues to be far short of the mark.
The San Francisco fair would not be
worth the national cash sacrifice such
valuations would mean. But Frisco
will have its show. 1t will be a great
one. And we hope that among it's
