Check to Miss Foster

heart Go to Relatives
He Never Saw,

Leon Guipon. magazine artist and
pupil Of william NJ. Chase. committed
suicide because OF III health on June IA.
1910. A few hours before he killed him
self he mailed letter containing a
check for s',212. representing his entire
estate. to his fancee. Miss Agnes Foster,
daughter of Albert Foster. president Of
the Peoples National Bank Of Roxbury,
Mass
The Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court In Brooklyn decided yesterday that
because Guipon was not familiar with the
general law regarding checks he failed
to make a valid gift to Miss Foster ana
that she can have nothing from the
estate. while the proceeds OF the STAR
must go to second cousins Of Guipon In
France of whom he never heard.
The case was the first in the State Of
New York In which n check virtually
constituted a will. disposing of the saw
,ngs Of a lifetime. For that reason Mau-
rice Leon. attorney for the French Con-
sui General. representing the heirs ut law
in France. and Frank II. Curry. counsel
for Miss Foster, could find no decisions
bearing directly on the case.
The case was heard before William
Allaire Short as referee. whose opinion
has been affirmed by the Appellate Div-
sion The testimony showed that the
check was drawn on the Columbus ave-
nue. branch OF the Produce Exchange
Bank on June IS. 1910, the day before
Gupon killed himself.
On the same day the artist wrote his
hancee a letter in which he said that
ne could not bring happiness to her and
asked forgiveness for being black
spot In her life.
A few hours before he killed himself
Guipon mailed the check and the letter to
Miss Foster and had the envelope regis
tered. The letter was delivered to her
on June Is in Boston. after she had been
notified that Guipon ended his life.
In deciding against the right of Miss
Foster TO have the artists estate the APP
peiate Division says that there isn't the
slightest doubt that Gu!pon intended to
give the check 20 his betiothed. but that a
gift Of a check made in expectation Of
death is not good when such check is not
paid before the donors death.

MEMORIAL DAY FIT
TINGLY OBSERVED

Again Memorial Day has come and
gone. Its martial music; its patriotic
appeals and kindly memories of the
sleeping soldiers, both the blue and
the gray Of the sixties, stir us TO a
loftier conception of citizenship, and
the fact that we are favored sons of
most worthy sires. The Boy Scouts
assisted the G. A. K. members in the
decoration of the graves and as well
accompanied them to the opera house
where Mavor Boyer made most ex-
cellent address every way in har-
mony with the day and the occasion.
The Pennington cemeteries were
beautifully decorated by the friends
of the deceased. Scarcely was there
a little mound that was forgotten.
Many eyes no doubt were remc:stened
and hearts made tender again with
a visit to the silent city of the dead.
Memorial Day is beautifully woven in
to the very life of the entire citizen
shin.

ITH ANNUAL RECITAL

The Ith Annual Recital of the Schu-
bert School of Music was given on
Tuesday afternoon and evening. Ow-
ing to the fact that the program as
rather lengthy ii was found necessary
to give an afternoon matinee. TIE
pupils of the three different depart
ments, violin, voice and piano, ac
quilted themselves with credit to them
selves and their teachers. Fact of
the matter the recital ma be put
down as one Of the musical events
of the year. The audience was large
and applauded most heartily the Sc
iections as rendered.
Pennington should feel little
sense of pride in this institution in
her midst-the only exclusive music
school in this part of the state. The
Schubert School Of Music no doubt
has before it a large career of use
fulness in the community. The at
tendance at the recital and interest
manifested is truly flattering to the
management. The teachers are, Prof.
Porter, violin, Mrs. Nelson, voice,
and Mrs. Forsyth, piano.

LILAC BUSH AND VANITY
BOX CANDIDATE TO
HAVE AN OPPONENT
Former Post stmasier of st. Louis Files
Declaration to Become a Candi-
date for United States Senate
Will Oppose Elyins

st. Francois county's pretty little
son, Polite Elvins, will not walk
right into the nomination for United
States Senator on the Republican tick
ct without a fight. The first of the
week Thomas j. Atkins, former post
master of the city of st. Louis paid
his filing fee and was registered in the
office of Secretary of State at Jeffer-
son City.
A set of resolutions recently adopt
ed by the st. Francois county Repub-
licans point with pride to the brilliant
record" Of Mr.. Elvins in the national
Congress. 1t would have been a
mighty nice thing if this same body
had entered into particulars and
specified something so that those that
are not familiar with the doings of
this distinguished son of St. Fran
co.'s county might be enlightened as to
his record. 1t is more than likely
that this set of resolutions contem-
plates brilliant career as one gilded
with gold and draped with finery of
an exquisite sort. 1t is more than
likely that when this gentleman walt
zed into the House of Representative
that he wore some toggery. The
brilllancy OF his career no doubt ling
ers in the minds of the old standbys
there today. At the next meeting it
is hoped that the body drafting the
set of resolutions endorsing the record
of Mr.. Elvins change the wording suf-
ficiently as to specify the character of
the brilliancy meant and designate
the particular color of his tie, hat,
gloves, suit, etc, giving the same with
each hourly change.
The Republicans are getting real
hard up for senatorial timber. But
let 'em put up just such fellows. The
chance Of electing their man is very
much lessened in that these are days
when the voters are thinking, and
cndeavoring to place their support
to strong and worthy men to fll the
halls OF our National Congress. If
the laws Of the country are to be
made just and equitable. and if the
nation is to move forward along the
great national highway of liberty and
freedom, the citizenship must look
well to the men who are given the
sacred trust of leadership.

Appeal Court Rules II Exempt From
County Local Option Vote

Vets of Elvins, st. Francois county.
Mo-, yesterday won a skirmish with
drys in the st. Louis Court of APP
peals.
Application was made by the drys
to the County Court of St. Francois
county, April 20 to have a county
local option election held. 1t was con-
tended by the applicants that Elvins
did not come under the law, which
provides that towns of $500 inhabi-
tants are entitled to vote separately
as to whether liquor shall be sold
in the towns. A census of Elvins tax
en- last year gave the population as
2,52l. Drys alleged that the census
was not correct.
The vets applied to Appellate Court
for writ of prohibition to prevent
the County Judges from ignoring the
census. A preliminary order which
mad been issued was made permanent
yesterday.-St. Louis Republic.
