SAYS THREATS

Court Holds Undue Coercion EN-.
ployed to Extract $4,000
From Husband.

Grand Forks, April 20.-Holding
that threats, undue influence, coer.
cion. etc., were used by Anna B. Muir.
pny to compel her husband, the late
laichard Murphy of Mayville, to settle
$74,OOO upon her, County Judge L. K.
Hasse.l today issued an order denying
Mrs. Murphy's claim for this amount
out of the Murphy estate, over and
above the amount left to her in Mr..
Murphy's will.
The case was heard By Judge Has.
sell some three months ago.
Mr.. Murphy died in Minneapolis
Nov. 6, 1913. His estate was divided
in his will between Mrs. Murphy and
a number of residuary heirs. The
Northwestern Trust company OF this
CITY was made executor of the estate.
Wanted Hers First.
Mrs. Murphy claimed that a settle
ment of property valued at $4,000
had been made on her by her husband
previous to his death, and demanded
that this should be paid before the es'
tate was divided according to the will.
According to the findings of fact in
Judge Hassell's opinion, this settle
ment was made in Los Angeles, Cal,
in 1911. Mr. Murphy had been Ill for
some time previous, and an applica-
ton had been made by Mrs. Murphy
through an attorney to have him de-
clared incompetent.

WILSON DEFINES
1RUE.NEUIRALITY
In Address Before Members of
: Associated Press States Att
tude Of Administration.

New York. April 2O:tA resident VIII
son gave definite and clear state
ment of neutrality which, is guiding
hts administration during the war
in Europe. He chose the sgocc casion OF
the annual luncheon Of the Associat-
ed Press for what he said he regard
ed as statement of the gravest i'm
portance to. Americans. The influ-
ence of the newspaper in moulding
public opinion, he said, prompted him
to make clear his ideas OF true neu
trality and in doing so to impress up.
on his hearers the importance of ad.
herring strictly to truthfuiness and
honesty in the dissemination of news.
Wilson seemed to weigh every word
uttered The Importance he alta ched
to his statement was reflected in a
request that no attempt be made to
paraphrase his speech or give it pub
licity until the official White House
stenographer had transcribed it in
full.
Great Distinction Awaite Us.
AS the only great nation not en-
gagged in war or suffering under the
immediate influence of the war zone,
Wilson declared that great distinction
awaited the United States, when the
United Statesothe'w HETAOIN Ell
hour of readjustment comes, provided
this nation should prove to the world
its self-control and self-mastery. The
past has been difficult, but the future
would be more difficult. America, he
said, never would sit in judgment up
on another nation.
The United States, said Wilson,
had a higher basis than petty desire
to keep out of trouble. ~.
II have never looked for It," he
said, "but have always found it. I
do not want to walk around trouble.
II any man wants a. scrap that is an
interesting scrap and worth while,
! am his man.
Something Greater Than Fighting.
There is something so much great
er to do than to fight" he said. "Let
us think of America before we think
of Europe, in order that America may
be fit to be Europe's friend when the
day of tested friendship comes. The
test of friendship is not sympathy
with one side or the other, but get
ting ready to help both sides when
the struggle is over"
