L|FE0F HUTCH|NS
Trustee Dante Tells of Lack of
Respect Between Husband
and Wife.

| William J. Dante, trustee of the
Hutchins' estate, continued today his
| testimony before Justice Anderson and
| a jury in the Probate Court at the con-
| test over the will of Stilson Hutchins,
which was executed in October, 1910.
Actions and incidents in the life of his
employer at or near the time of the
signing of the will were detailed by
the witness.
During more than fifteen years of
my intimate relations with Mr.. Hutch
ins," said the witness, Il never saw
| the slightest sign of respect affec-
tion between him and Mrs. Rose Keel
| ing Hutchins."
| The attitude of the financier to his
sons was also spoken of by Mr.. Dante,
| who said the millionaire seemed to fear
| Walter, but would place his arm af-
fectionately about Lee, the younger SON.
Complained of Wife.
| Mr.. Hutchins often complained to him,
witness said. that his wife was abusive
and twice to the knowledge of witness
| the tnancier consulted counsel about talk
ing steps to obtain legal separation
from his wife.
The first consultation about a sepa
ra ton was in 1906. according to the
witness. and the second in 1910. in
which year was made the will leaving
Mrs. Hutchins 80 per cent of the estate.
After the execution of the deed in
trust to the witness. conveying all the
property to him and authorizing the
monthly allowance to Mrs. Rose Keel
ing Hutchins OF 81 900, witness said,
Mr.. Hutchins denied he had ever au-
thorized a payment of more than $500
to his wife.
He declared the space had been left
blank and accused the lawyer who
prepared the paper of forgery. Lee
HutchinS requested his father to apol-
| ogize to the lawyer. but the million
aire refused to do so. The son then
apologiZed in hi name, said the wit
ness.
Prepared Income Schedule.
In October. 1910, witness stated, he
was directed by Walter Hutchins to
prepare schedule of the net income
of the Hutchins investment. This mem
orandum was prepared, he said, and
taken to the home of Walter Hutchins
where were assemble the financier,
the son, Walter. and the latter's law
yer.
The schedule showed the net income
from the Investments for the preceding
year to have been s115.oO0. witness
testified. This sum, he said, remained
after paying interest, taxes and the
cost of maintaining the property
When he had read out the net bal
ance. he declared, Stilson Hutchins en-
phatically denied that he had any such
income. Even in the face of the fig
ures, witness said, Mr.. Hutchins char
acterized the statement as "a lie.''
When the son and his lawyer had
withdrawn from the room, witness said
Mr.. Hutchins upbraided him for MAX
| ing any such false statement.
Mr.. Dante told the jury that he was
unable to persuade the fnancier that
| the figures were accurate.

Equal opportunities in an economic

Trough. the chairman of that body,
this afternoon at the department OF

The south feels that race integra-
ton and solidarity In a social sense are
absolutely necessary to promote the
best interests of both races" he said.
While willing to concede equality OF
opportunity in an economic sense. she
is unaiterably opposed to miscegena-

Of nuiattos from 1,13c 06o, or 15.2 per
cent, in 1890 TO 2.o5o,6S6. or 20.9 per cent.
in 1910
The fundamental incompatibiiities Of
racial temperament and tradition
which operate to make the great ma
jority of actual unions between the two
groups unhappy and the fact that
many of those who do enter upon these
unions belong to the criminal or anti
social elements of both groups, would
seem TO indicate the condemnation OF
such unions by the better elements of
both races as u substantial basis.

CH|LT TON PHYSICIAN CONDEMNS WATERS

Dr. Gragg Makes Report to State Board of Health. Says Water Causes
 Malaria

Clanton, October 12.-(Special. )-Thc Clifton county health physician, pr V J. Gragg, has made report to the Ala bama state board of health of which Dr. w H. Sanders of Montgomery, the state health officer, Is chairman, and is very pronounced a to the condition of the water in Coosa river dam, where the Alabama Power company operates it's immense plant
 In pr. Gragg's report he says in part that T did not attempt to cover all of the territory tributary to the reservoir. so far as I went l obtained data by sending word that I wished to meet the people at their schools, and the re- suit was that enough people met me to report 9f cases of chills for this year, where there had been only two cases in six years before.
 There are many that failed to meet me. I know of my own knowledge that the teacher of this school abandoned his work before 1t was through because of his being confined to his bed with ma laria''
 Dr. Gragg is very plain in his words as to his opinion of the causes of this condi- ton. He states that it is owing to sunken trees, felled in the construction of the great dam district, and says the worst danger is in the small stream feeders of the Coosa river.
 The doctor says 'I saw no ditches for draining. the water in some places had a very offensive odor."
