ESTATE TANGLED
FOR THIRTY YEARS
DISPUTE, WHICH HAS CAUSED
ONE MURDER, STILL IN
COURT.

How the estate of Nelson w.
Knowles. of New Milford, Conn. who
died In 1881, has caused one murder
and has been in dispute for more than
thirty years Is recalled by the court
action recently begun to remove the
present executor from the custody of
the estate. This is regarded as a near
American record for litigation over
an estate.
Failure of Nelson w. Knowles to
write n will and to name some quail
fed corporate trust as executor has
caused the entire tangle. As result
of his neglect of this important duty.
his estate has been plunged into liti-
Cation which bids fair to devour it in
casts.
On his death, Knowles left ten chill
dren and several grandchildren. The
principal item In the estate is a mill
site and farm. Immediately on his
death this was occupied by DR.. David
Knowles, son, who resisted all ef-
forts TO Dust him from possession. In
1890 a concerted effort was made by
knowles, being brought to an unsuc-
cessful end when Dr. Knowles son,
George, shot and killed John j.
Waters, who was acting as agent for
one of the heirs.
Under renewed litigation the court
last summer named John C. Daily as
administer de bonis non of the
Knowles estate, through whom the
other heirs hope to Gust DR.. Knowles
as custodian of the estate. The pres
ent hearing Is on the petition To dis
pose OF the property included in the
Knowles estate.

Avery's Letter

The bears seem to be determined to pay no attention to anything bullish whatever.
 The days news was exceedingly bullish. The Times Picayune report. stating that the condition was prob ably the lowest on record and reports from north Texas and Oklahoma stat ing that section from Fort Worth. north was flooded, 10 inches of rain having fallen at Durant. okla, since Friday.
 Notwithstanding these things which should have put prices up, the slight bulge of f5 points on the opening was met by persistent selling which con tinued at intervals all day. However. & great many longs took advantage of this bulge and secured profits on A great deal of cotton previously bought just under opening prices.
 The big bulls are standing pat on their commitments and every short sale that is being put out will he bought in at highher prices.
 I look for the ginning report to be very bullish and firmly believe that the preliminary estimates on the same by private estimators will be sthe sig nal for the shorts to scramble for cover. I would advise cleaning up long cotton on the national ginners' report. which precedes the government, inas- much as they were so accurate in their estimate on their last report they will be given great deal of credence on tho coming one.

WILSON TO ADDRESS NEW YORK AUDIENCE
 ON PROGRAMME FOR
 NATIONAL DEFENSE
tcontinued from Page One,

for the navy next year the bulk would go into four big ships, two superdread- -naughts and two superbattle cruisers. They will be the first of the 16 capital ships to be laid down within five years. under the administration program mme. the last of which would not be in commits sion until 1925.
 The building of these four ships would tax the capacity of American private yards. There are only five companies which are equipped to build such ves- sels, four on the Atlantic and one or the. Pacific. The government has only one yard, the Brooklyn navy yard, where battleships can be constructed. though 1t is planned to equip the Philadelphia yard also and possibly the Bremerton plant for this work. Development of th' new building programme must follow {, these restrictions.
 The present programme of not more than four big ships year. it was pointed out today, also gives opportunity to keep the designs up to date from year to year. This is one reason why it is pro- posed to build only two battle cruisers tfhe first year and none the second. Naval architecture is making such rapid strides with the great navies of the world en- gagged in actual hostilities that American designers hesitate to recommend the con. struction of large number of ships al one time. Eao1 year sees radical altera- tions in battleship design even in peace times.

''NO WOMAN KNOWS HOW | SUFFERED" !"
 SAYS MRS. LEWIS
Declares She Was Compelled to Take Medicine Nearly
 All the Time

Honestly, if it had not been for Tan lac don't believe I would be living now, was the truly remarkable statement made few days ago by Mrs. L. l.. Lewis, who lives at sl6 Fatherland street, Nashville.
 "No woman knows how I felt" she con tinued, and how completely run down was. I actually got so weak and felt so badly I didn't want to do anything.
 'T simply had no appetite at all and what little l did eat failed to give me niy skin was dry and feverish. Even on the very hottest days l never per spired the least bit; in fact, my whole system was badly out of shape.
 T would have smothering spells and at times would get so dizzy I would be all most afraid to try to walk across the floor. I almost shudder when I think of these dizzy spells. I was also very bilious and had to take temporary relief I would have awful pains in my sides and back and would get so nervous I would close the doors to keep from hearing the noise of the street cars and wagons, and 1 wanted to lie down all the time.
 'I couldn't sleep to do any good and would just turn and toss about the bed, but the worst part about it was nothing did me any good and it seemed like the more medicine I would take the worse l would get
 This is the condition I was in when one of my neghbors told me about Taniac, but didn't have much faith in the med icine helping me. Shortly after this l read in the Nashville papers one day about some woman who described my ease exactly, and I sent down to DeMo- yille's and got me bottle, and l hardly know how to tell you how much this med icine has helped me. It has acted more like magic than medicine in my case. T have no more pains now of any kind and can just eat anything. and as much as I want. l have now taken three (S) bottles and just bought my fourth and if it hadn't helped me certainly would not be buying it. It just seems like the more I take the better feel My skin feels more natural now and when take exer- clse and get warm I can perspire freely.
 q haven't weighed lately, but from the way my clothes feel know I have gained back most of the flesh that lost.
 Just tell any one I will be glad to see them in person and tell them what Tan lac has done for me. I am truly grate- full t0sIr. Cooper for his wonderful new medicine and want you to thank him for me-"

Daddy Iong-Legs"

Jean Webster's tenderly pathetic and whimsical story. Daddy Long Legs . as prepared by the author for the stage was presented at the Jefferson thea tre last night for the first time. al- though the play has already enjoyed much popularity in the east. Just as the book is unique, so the comedy par takes of the same quality and has be- sides the charm and quaintness the delightful humor and the exquisite love theme that have made Daddy Long, Legs a best seller.''
 The story is too we'll known to re- quire repetition here. Judy, the lit- tie orphan girl. who is the heroine of the play and the book. is lifted from her sordid environment by an unknown benefactor who proceeds to fall in love with his -protege after she has been sent to college. Judy falls in love with him, also, but does not know he is her guardian until his identity is at last revealed to her. It is difficult to trans fer all the atmosphere" of the book to the stage, but the dramatization has resulted in charming play. one that tugs at the heartstrings. evokes infec- tious laughter and appeals to all those and they are legion-who admire that simplicity. which Is, after all the high est form of art. Judy is a character who Is droll and winsome too, and Jervis Pendleton. Daddy Long-Legs, ? Is the type of man Charles Dickens would have loved and doubtless writ ten about
 capable company interpreted the various parts last night Miss Frances Carson was quite an irresistible Judy dainty and appealing yet displaying the unfainng humor which does SC much to enliven the pages of Jean
 Webster's book. Miss Carson Is skill ful in her artistry and has a great deal of personal magnetism Without it, she could hardly make a success ol the character. George Alison played Jervis Pendleton with an ease and as surance and a nice appreciation of its requirements that left nothing to be desired MT. Alison Is himself not with out that valuable asset-personality Donald Foster was good in juvenile role and Bessie Lee Lestina realized all the humorous possibilities of Mrs Semple.
 Daddy Long-Legs" will be offered at a matinee this afternoon and agair tonight. It is safe to say that no more captivating play will be seen in Bir- mingham this season.

Third Action Against Concern

Washington, October 18.-The suit begun today against the United Shoe Machinery company is the third action against the concern by the trust prosecuting end of the department of justice in the last few years. Civil suit to dissolve the concern under the sherman law now is pending in the supreme court, and suit under the criminal provisions of the same statute is pending against some of the officers and directors.
 The new suit was brought, it became known here today, because the shoe ma chincry officials refused to allow the government to file 8 supplemental com rlaint in the Sherman law suit covering the same ground with the federal court in Boston, which tried the latter suit.
 St. Louis as an important shoe manu- featuring city led to It's selection after the department found 1t necessary to be- gin new proceedings.
 The case has been under consideration and in preparation for many months.
