WILL CASE OPENS
Suit Involving the Campbell
Estate of S16,O00,OOO
Begins in the Circuit Court of
st. Louis County.

ST. Louis, April 19.-Trial of one OF
the biggest will cases ever heard in
the civil courts of the United States
that against the will of the late
James Campbell, traction magnate-
was scheduled to begin in the circuit
court today. An estate conservatiyely
estimated at S16,oO0.0OO is involved.
Counsel for the contestants, who sew
eral times have asked continuances,
today announced they were ready for
trial and confident of breaking the
will, which lawyers considered extraor-
binary in regard to the care with
which it had been drawn up to guard
against legal flaws.
The contestants case hinges chiefly
on the question of whether Mrs. Lois
Campbell Burkham is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Campbell.
The claim also was made that
Campbell was of unsound mind and
was, unduly influenced la making his
WILL but the case will not be heard on
these contentious unless the contest
ants win on the first point of the par
entage of Lois Campbell.
Campbel1's will left his entire estate
in equal shares to his widow and to
Lois Campbell, to whom he referred
as his daughter in the will After
their death and the death of any heir
which Mrs. Burkham may leave, the
entire estate will go to st. Louis uni
versity for the establishment of a
medical school and hospital
Both Mrs Campbell and Mrs.
Burkham will appear. in court. Mrs.
William H. Harrison, of Cleveland,
Ohio, a niece of Mr.. Campbell, who
is ont of the contestants, arrived last
night. Other contestants are Mamie
c. Spargo and James c. Campbell, of
Chicago. Archer w. Campbell and
Genevieve Baker of Wheeling, w. Va.
and Mrs. r. E. Curtis, of St. Louis,
all nieces and nephews of Campbell.
Many thousands of dollars already
have been spent in the taking of depo-
Mrs. Burkham.
The contestants strongest witness it
is believed will be Mrs. Edith Blair by
whose testimony they will attempt to
prove that Lois Campbell Burkham is
the daughter of Mrs. Hicks, who was
a stepdaughter of Mrs. Blair, and that
Mrs. Hicks child was adopted by the
and therefore is not entitled
to a half share of the estate.

VISIT BY CAPPER
Governor Plans Inspection of
All State Institutions.
First Trip to BelOit School for
Girls in May.

Governor Capper plans to make a
tour OF inspection to number of the
state institutions this summer. Ac-
cording to his present plans. he will
visit most of the big state charities
and penal institutions before fall. His
first trip will probably be a visit to
the girls industrial school aft ReIoit
some time in May.
IL is the governors plan to get in
touch with the work of the various
state institutions by personal in
Spection of the work Of the govern
ing OFFICERS ana a study of actual con-
ditions. While he will first visit the
big state charities and penal institu-
tons, 1t is quite probable that he will
also visit the state schools.
Governor Hodges was the first state
executive who personally visited all
of the Kansas public institutions Be
fore the close of his two-year term,
he visited every institution under state
control and came in personal contac ct
not only with the officers but the
work under their direction. This plan
will be followed by Governor Capper
and it is quite likely that he will also
make the rounds of the state prop
critics.
There are several institutions
which 1 desire to visit this spring"
said Governor Capper. land hope to
visit one institution a week this sum-
mer. 1 will probably spend one day at
each of the institutions The girls
industrial school at Beloit will prob
ably be visited first"
The administrations attitude toward
the present management of several in
stitutions will probably not be deter
mined until after the governors in
spection trip.

Thaw Today Begins His Final
Effort for Freedom.
Appears Before Supreme Court
I'm Habeas Corpus Proceedings.
CALLS FOR TEST OF SANITY
If Found Sane Will Ask for
Formal Discharge.
Re-HaSh of the White Murder
Trial Is Promised.

New York April 19.-Harry K.
Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, to-
day began a new and final fight to
escape return to Matteawan asylum.
Hearing of his last legal resort to
avoid being returned to the state hos
pital for criminal insane was sched-
uled today in the supreme court.
The proceeding today was based
upon Thaws third application for a
writ of habeas corpus since he was
extradited from New Hampshire. The
proceedings today were brought by
Thaw to test his sanity. If found in
sane he will ask for formal discharge
from custody, having been acquitted
because of insanity-of numbering
White in Madison Square Garden nine
years ago.
Thaw was forced to the proceeding
today by the action of the supreme
court and appellate division in deny
ing that, after being acquitted of con-
spring to escape from Matteawan, he
then had the right to return to New
Hampshire. The courts held that,
having secured possession of Thaw,
the state, even after his acquittal for
alleged conspiracy, could hold him,
and, under the order of Justice Dow
ling committing him as a lunatic to
Matteawan, return him to the asylum.
The habeaS corpus trial today was
brought by Thaw for new determin-
alton of his sanity. His counsel pro-
posed today to ask for a jury trial,
but the attorney generals office con-
tends that this is not permissible.
Reopening and 'rehash'' of the
whole sordid story of Thaw'S infatua-
ton for Evelyn Nesbit and his killing
of White was involved in the trial
begun today. Many alienists will be
called. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw may also
testify.

HE WAS FROM MISSOURI
West Had to Be Shown That His
Chickens Were Trespassers.

Chicago, April ia special to the
Tribune from Stevens Point, Wis,
says the Wisconsin village is shaking
with laughter at the hens of H. K
West, which recently returned to their
owner with labels hanging from their
beaks announcing that they had been
robbing the garden of F. NJ. Sackett
of its newly planted seeds. West was
unable to believe his neighbours COM
plants of the depredations of the hens
SO Sackett scattered about his garden
grains of corn to each of which was
thread a small placard. They bore
such legends as these: Il have just
been scratching in Mr.. Sackett's yard"
ST am a naughty chicken II have
been trespassing," MY owner does not
feed me enough and 1 have to visit the
neighbors.''
When West saw these cards dang
ling from the bills of his hens he ad-I
mitted that Sackett's proof was con-
Yincing. :

IT'S ALL A MISTAKE.
Japs Didn't Intend to Establish Naval
Base at Turtle Bay.

Washington, April 19.-Any doubt
that may have existed in the minds of
administration officials as to the pur-
pose of Japanese operations on Turtle
Bay, Lower California it was be-
lieved here today, had been set at rest
by the report of Commissioner Noble
Irwin of the cruiser New Orleans that
there were no indications of any ac-
tivity except salvage work on the
stranded cruiser Asama.
Commander Irwin had been sent to
Turtle Bay by the navy department
to Investigate newspaper reports that
the Japanese had established a per-
manent naval base there. Officials all
along had expressed disbelief in the
reports that Japan had intended per-
manent occupation.
The Asama has been aground in
Turtle Bay since December and re-
ports had said that the presence of
British warships was being used as a
cloak for establishing permanent
base

LITTLE GIRL FEATURE.
Gage Park Children Put on F'airyland
Entertainment.

One of the features of the program
of the County Teachers association at
the high school building Saturday af-
ternoon was the number given by the
Virginia Aristocrats,'' under the sup
ervision of Miss Eva Willard. This ex-
hibition was offered by the children of
Gage park school. They gave also a
fairy cantata.
Twenty-four little madams in dainty
fairy dress and gauzy wings made a
queen and a little earth girl, whose
acting was we'll beyond the ordinary.
The hearty applause was proof of
the excellent work of the children who
have been asked to repeat the num-
bers at future date.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, April 9.-WHEAT-Active gen.
eral buying today carried wheat prices up
with a rush. On the bulge, free sellin e
took place. but as soon a break occur
red the demand increased and a sharp
rally followed The market was extremely
nervous. Bulls had the advantage of the
fact that shipments to Great Britain were
reported light and that France and Italy
were said to be bidding eagerly for car
goes. After opening 1c to 2Ac higher,
the market here reacted to moderate ex-
tent and then promptly advanced again.
A huge decrease in the United States
visible supply total resulted later in a fur
ther advance. Dry weather complaints
continued especially from Ohio and North
Dakota. Some weakness, however, ensued
owing to reports that negotiate tons be-
tween Italy and Austria had been broken
off. The close was heavy at 1Ac to &c
above Saturday night.
CORN-Trading in corn showed a much
larger volume than has recently been the
case. Higher cables, improved cash de-
mand and the strength of wheat all helped
to lift prices. The opening, which varied
from %@2c to lie up, was succeeded by
Later the market maintained a strong
tone. the greater part of the time despite
heavy profit taking. The close though
was heavy at h@Ac net advance.
OATS-Oats rose with other cereals Sell
ing pressure was light.
PROVISIONS - Ascending values for
grain and hogs lifted provisions. Demand
though was only fair.
