ADOPTED SON AND
HEIR APPEALS FROM
ADVERSE DECISION
Francis J. Mckinney Fighting
to SECURE Probate of Will
onos Refused.

An appeal from the decision of
Judge Martin, sitting In the Orphans
Court, in which he refused to admit
the last will of Frederick c. McKin-
ney to probate was argued before
Vice-C Chancellor Howell, sitting as a
vice ordinary in the Prerogative
Court.
Mrs. Mckinney, who was seventy
nine years old, made a will but a
short while before her death, in June,
1914, in which she cut off Charles r.
Mckinney. her grandson, lawyer
Of this city, from participation in her
estate. This estate consisted of prop
erty at S76 Plane street. In her will
she gave the bulk of her property to
Francis John Mckinney, named in
the document as her adopted son. He
was also made the executor.
The will was not sustained by
Judge Martin on the ground that
when Mrs. Mckinney made it she
lacked testamentary capacity, In his
presentation of the case today, Ralph
p. Lum. solicitor for Francis J. Nc
Kinney, as executor, stated to the
court that Mrs. Mckinney had been
actuated in making the s1st will by
antagonism for her grandson because
he had involved her in litigation.
The property involved in the will
had not been sufficiently profitable to
Mrs. Mckinney and she had attempt
ed to dispose of 1t. Charles f. Nc
Kinney then brought a suit against
her, and this threatened to deprive
her Of her ownership.
In order to defend 1t she had re-
tanned John Montieth, a lawyer. and
had paid him nearly all of her cash.

and died within four days. 1t was
while In her last illness that the will
now in suit was made. Previously
she had signed a will giving all Of
the property to the grandson, but
had been SO wrought up that she
decided to cut him off.
Robert H. McCarter, who appeared
for Charles r. Mckinney, told the
vice-ehancellor that the property
was originally left to Mrs. Mckinney
by her husband, John Mckinney.
who died in 1888 She had but life
Interest IN the estate, 1t being pro-
vided in her husbands viii that 1t
was to revert to Charles r. McKin-
ney at her death.
The probate was contested. MIR. Nc
Carter said, not only because of the
contention of his client that his
grandmother lacked testamentary
capacity, but because OF undue in
fiuence exercised by Francis j. Nc
Kinney and his wife They had vir-
tualiy camped In the home of Mrs
Mckinney, he said, and had urged
her 10 make the will while she was
not In physical or mental condi-
tlon TO do SO. He declared that the
will lacks every element that would
show 1t to be a. carefully prepared
document. Decision was reserved.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

oy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness. and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi- tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta- chian Tube When this tube is inf1anIed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but an infamed condi- tion of the mucous surfaces.

 The President said there was reason to hope that no question in controversy between this and other governments would lead to any serious breach of amicable relations, and that he was sorry to say that the gravest threats against national peace and safety had been uttered within the country's own borders.
 There are citizens of the United States. l blush to admit" he declared, born under other flags but welcomed under our generous naturalization laws to the full freedom and opportunity of America, who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life; who have sought to bring the authority and good name of our government into contempt, to de- stroy our industries wherever they thought it effective for their vindtctive purposes, to strike at them and to de base our politics to the uses or ro, eign intrigue
 No federal laws exist to meet this situation, said Mr. Wilson, because such a thing would have seemed in credible in the past. "Such creatures of passion, disloyalty and anarchy" he added, must be crushed out. They are not many but they are infinitely malignant and the hand of our power should close over them at once"
 Turning again to military questions, the President said he might find it advisable to call into systematic con- sultation with the directing officers of the army and navy, men of recognized ability who are familiar, for example, with the transportation facilities of the country and therefore competent to advise how they may be co-ordinated when the need arises, those who can suggest the best way to bring about prompt cooperation among the manu- to bring the technical skill of the coun- try to the aid of the government for in the solutions of problems of de- fense. He said he might later ask Congress for an appropriation to de- fray the expenses of such work.
 The President told the members he might address them again later on commercial conditions about which much legislation has been passed, and which are likely to change rapidly after the war when the nations of Flu rope again take up their task of com merce and industry. The most that can be done now, he said is to make sure that the necessary instrumentali- ties are at hand for securing adeuuate information.
 Regarding the railroads, the Presi- dent said that there had been reason to fear that they could not cope much longer with the transportation pro blem, and suggested it would be wise to provide for commission of inquiry to ascertain whether the laws as at present framed and administered were as serviceable as they might be in the solution of the problem. He said that the regulation of the railroads by federal commission has had admirable results and that the question was whether there was anything else to be done to better the conditions under which the railroads are operating.

 ficially yesterday the foun- dations for the legislative structure was in the course of building for ten days or two weeks prior to that time. A program has been mapped out, and in the Senate the big fight has been to secure an amendment to the rules so that debate might be limit ed and the screws" applied to long winded Senators.
 There has been a great deal of hesitancy about adop- ting cloture rule of any kind, and even the most radi- cal of Senators would not tol- crate it except in a modified form. The country at large has frequently expressed its disgust of dilatory speech making tactics which have prevented the passage of leg iSlation, but it must be re- membered that the reform Senators, among whom was Senator LaFollette "the pur- est of them all," have beeen among the chief offenders. Every man in Washington knows that the great debates of the Senate have always been the means by which the legislative atmosphere has been cleared. Senators, al times when no other means were at hand, have frequent ly availed themselves of the great privileges by which de. bate cannot be curtailed, ir order to defeat legislation tc which they were opposed There seems to be a well founded belief that it is nee eSSary to invoke some sort o # cloture if the ship bill and tt program of the Administra tion for preparedness" is t be carried this winter. While there is more or less diSSen- sion, as is always the case 1T the year preceding presiden tial elections, yet it may be said that notwithstanding al the turbulent rumblings tha start in Washington, the Ad, ministration has things pre-
 ty we'll in hand, and with 9 cloture amendment to the rules, President Wilson vii be given a better grip than any of his predecessors have obtained over the processes and actions of Congress.
