Important Case Comes Up
in High Court
Now
STATUS OF ADOPTED
CHILDREN IN BALANCE
Daughters of General Hood
Ask a Share in
Estate

Washington, April 2--Rights of
adopted children in many states are de-
clared to rest on the outcome of the SUI
preme courts decision in the case of the
twin daughters of the late General John
B. Hood, who seek share in the estate
of the late George 7. McGehee of Mis-
sissippi, their fathers friend and their
father by adoption. Briefs for the
daughters and for the "heirs at law"
filed yesterday in the court outlined the
conflicting claims. The appeal will be
considered shortly after Easter. Ida
Richardson Hood and Odile Musson
Hood Holland now reside in New York.
The contest is over the inheritance of
real estate in Alabama owned by Nc
Gehee. The twins rest their claim on
several grounds, one being that under
the contract of adoption in Louisiana
they became the the sole heirs, as if
they were natural children of AtcGehee's
property, no matter where situated. The
Alabama federal courts, however, held
that Alabama law determined the heirs
of real estate in that state. Attorneys
for the twins in their brief argue that
the federal courts have made mere
scrap of paper" of the Louisiana adop-
ton laws.
Another ground on which the two
daughters claim the land is the turning
over to McGehee in 1894 of $500, their
share of fund created by voluntary
contributions made throughout the
southern states for the benefit of the
~
for the blood relations of McGehee as
sert that il the transfer of the $4,000 |
was gift it merely evidenced the gen
crosby of the twins, and if a loan mere
ly created debt against the estate,
but in no way determined the legal
heirs TO the land.

DRY TERRITORY
South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska
May Become Dry.

Sioux City, Feb. 27.-Sioux City
in the course of a few years will be
entirely surrounded by dry" terri
tory. and as a center of business for
northern Iowa, northern Nebraska
and South Dakota will be a model
city from. the standpoint of antisa-
loon workers, according to members
and officers of the Woodbury. County
Antisaloon league. Ii was pointed
out last night that Iowa will be dry
after the first of next year. that South
Dakota voters soon will have an OPP
portunity of passing a statewide pro-
hibition measure and that Nebraska
probably will take steps TO place a
prohibition amendment on its sta
tutes.
Prohibition will be In effect in
Iowa after January /, 1916. because
of the signing of the Clarkson bill
by Gov. Clarke.
The South Dakota senate Wednes-
day passed a joint resolution provid-
ing for submitting to the voters OF
the state a constitutional amend
ment establishing statewide prohibi-
ton. 1t Is believed that the house
will concur in the action and the
voters at the general election next
rear will be given a chance to vote
on the prohibition question.
In South Dakota a constitutional
amendment can be reported out from
a single session of the legislature. In
this state Ii requires two consecutive
sessions, both of which must approve
the amendment. 1t then is submitted
to the citizens for their approval or
rejection.
Sioux City saloons will not get an
opportunity to operate under their
second saloon consent petition. which
was declared sufficient yesterday by
the board of supervisors. Repeal OF
the mulct law will put the state in
the dry column before the consent
could take effect.
The petition was signed by 5.l55
voters and was to have gone into ef-
feet January /, 1915. 1t would have
given consent to operate saloons for
a period of FIVE years longer.
Several objections to the petition
were filed yesterday by John F. Jo-
seph, attorney for the antisaloon
league. They were overruled by the
board. Members of the organization
said last night they probably would
not file their appeal to the supreme
court from the decision of Judge
William Hutchinson. who held that
the petition circulated last spring
was sufficient. They stated an ap-
peal had not been perfected.
