PUBLISHES LEG.L WORK.
william G. Taylor Author of Book
on Probate Procedure.

In an effort to standardize the work
of the Probate Court of the District.
William c. Taylor. deputy register OF
wills, and David A. Baer, a local at
torney. have written and published a
new work. entitled probate Forms
and Procedure for the District of Co
lumbia." The last publication on this
subject occurred twenty years before
the new code of law went into effect
1t Is believed that the new volume will
have a tendency to standardize the
work Of the Probate Court, particu-
larly in the forms of petitions, mo-
lions. and orders used.
The work contains complete sets Of
forms, embracing the customary cases
which come within the province of
the Probate Court. including the pro-
bate of wills and the granting of let
ters testamentary. the granting of let
tiers of administration. the proper pro
cedure in the filing Of caveats to wills.
the steps necessary to obtain letters
which real estate or personal prop
erty under the authority of the court
are conducted.
Mr.. Taylor is member of the
Washington College Of Law, where his
course includes the subject of Wills
and probate practice. Mr.. Baer was
instrumental in forming the Legal Aid
Society of the George Washington
University College of Law, the pur-
pose of which is to provide free legal
advice and assistance to worthy per-
sons unable to employ attorneys. He
also is the author Of THE Operation
of the Municipal Court in the District
of Columbia"

Wall Street Wakins In.

Hardly more than week ago the World felt
obliged to comment with some severity on the
"senseless pessimism of Wall Street." which, in
the view of Western business authority, was
the only obstacle to American prosperity"
Since then Wall Street has been steadily creep
ing up into the light of the real day Blind devo-
ton to theory of politics and political finance
has been giving way to open-eyed recognition of
actual business conditions. That prosperity which
senseless Wall Street pessmism" was trying to
blockade has turned the tables and knocked the
pessimism out of the way The capitulation is
complete in the removal of minimum restrictions
on prices. and the declaration by the stock ex-
change OF a wide-open market as before the war.
What is now SO obvious to Wall Street was as
obvious to every unbiased observer weeks ago. 1t
was obvious that with immense grain harvests
sold at record high prices the Western country
was filling up with ready riches to an extent
never before known. 1t was equally obvious that
from the enormous and continuing excess Of ex-
port balances the country was turning with un-
paraleled rapidity from debtor toward cred
ltor position among the nations. 1t was none the
less obvious that war-devastated Europe, in pre-
fcrrng to borrow in payment of these export bal
ances rather than return the bulk of its holdings
OF our securities, must have more optimistic
view of the future of American industry and in
vestncnts than existed in Wall Street.
The Street is tardy in waking up to all this, but
II is waking up. Its tide is also turning Bush

theories and dreams of return of Hannaism as
the only conditions of American prosperity. From

Manuel Gonzales, consul general from Costa
RIGA, in an address on "The Promotion of Greater
Business and Social Relations Between All the
Americas" in New York the other night brought
severe indictment against the people OF this
country. He said: an your biographies find
you devote eight pages to China, India
and Corea, and but three-quarters of page to
Central America-the land with which you are
seeking trade. Teach your children in the schools
here to learn Spanish That is the language of
the Latin-Americans. We compel pupils in
the high schools to pass examination in Eng
lish before graduation. That shows we are eager
to become acquainted with you. And don't try to
'cirilize' u.s. We are civilized, as much as you
are" The people of the United States have
been slow TO realize that we must cultivate
our neighbors to the South if we would extend
our business relations with them. The European
war has taught us thoroughly the lesson we had
already begun to learn-that the South American
trade is not to be captured by nod and word.

Quizzing the Cabinet Members.

Also, II 10 suggested by some Of the
professors VINO DO not greatly admire
| the ways Of Pupil Bryan that ne II
| rather cautious about airing MS
| knowledge because OF his discovery
since the 1895 convention that some
of the things he knew were wrong.
Pupil Garrison is popular with his pro-
fessors. When he knows tang ne
, knows Il and he comes right out with
the answer. He never hens or haws
! about it. And when he tells ABOUT
thing he knows the professors are alb
soIutely confident that that Is all there

to know something that Pupil Garrison
thinks he ought not to answer he Is just
as like as not to tell them Ito forget
it." A plain-spoken pupil. but reliable.
The distinguished pupils Of the corre-
spondents' school are all good story tell
ers and they frequently enliven the eX-
animation hour with anecdotes. Espe-
cially do they resort to this subterfuSe
when they are not up In their lessons.
The other day a story was printed in
the paper Of one of the professors which
| was displeasing to Pupil Bryan. After
raising his hand and receiving permits
sion TO ask the question. he said to
the professor in a somewhat surly tone:
Where did you get that story?"
Il didn't write it, said the profess
sor.
To illustrate his view of the denial Mas
ter Bryan told this story:
There was to be an examination in

tees Of the school district. When the
trustees had taken their seats and were
stroking their boards with an impressive

How Two Presidents Widows We're

In a chat which had with Cyrus w.
Field on TIE day after his return from
a visit to EI.-upe. In 1877. he spoke remi-
niscently of some Of those who were as
ISOLATED with him in the venture which
resulted in iayirS the first Atlantic cable
between Newfoundland and Ireland. Mr..
Field seemed to lie especially tender OF
the memory Of Marshall o. Roberts
There were times. he said, when 1t
seemed as though the project must fail.
Men of science were opposed to It; some
Of the great engineers pronounced 1t i'm.

had already been expended. and there

Roberts and Peter Cooper, with Mr..
Field held that the cable should be laid
no matter what the cost and the COM
pany should be maintained no matter
what the discouragement.
Mr.. Roberts was as noble man as
I ever met" said Mr.. Field. He became
very wealthy, but there was never an
intimation that he obtained dollar by
any unfair method. I suppose no one
will ever know how much he gave in
private benefactions. / know that he
contributed to the support Of a man who
had been a violent partisan and mem.
Der OF the party to which Mr.. Roberts

Lease of a comfortable house in New
York City, and in addition was one of
those who provided a sufficient income
for him.
II happen to know Of one gift which
he made which was very timely. Mr..
Roberts was one Of the merchants OF
New York in whom President Lincoln
placed great confidence, often counselinS
with him. The relations established be-
tween the President and Mr.. Roberts
were very cordial. Almost Immediately
after the death of the President. Mr..
Roberts. who surmised. think, that Lin
coin had saved very little, caused a con-
siderable sum of money to be sent pri-
vately to Mrs. Lincoln, doing that be-
cause he was certain that there must be
immediate demands upon her purse. He
was gratified to learn that this gift did
put an end to certain immediate flnan-
cial embarrassments."
At that time. l could not have dreamed
that Cyrus ". Field would, within a few
years, lead a movement to provide the
widow Of another President with a sum

ficient to give her comfortable support.
Yet such was a fact. Within short
time after the death of President Gar

justified him in undertaking a benefae-
ton Of which the nation approved. He
knew that when Garfield became Presi-
dent he was possessed Of only a small
property. and he did not serve long
enough in the Presidency to have accum-
uated anything to speak Of Mr.. Field

Correspondence schools have been =
fruitful source of fun for stage and
journalistic humorists.
There Is a correspondence school in
Washington which strives to be taken
seriously. and with good reason, since
It numbers among It's scholars such dis
tinguished members as Secretary Of State
Bryan. Secretary Of War Garrison and
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels.
The school meets at the State. War.
and Navy Building between and
o'clock every afternoon.
This school is the only school in the
world which has more professors than
pupils. The ratio Of professors to pupils
Is about sixteen to one. The professors
are newspaper men who have taken a
postgraduate course In journalistic sur
gerry and hold diplomas testifying to their
ability to extract information without
pain.
But from the fact that their distin-
guished pupils occasionally vince under
the third degree treatment to which they
are subjected. it must be admitted that
there Is ground fOr the suspicion that
some Of these diplomas have been faxed.
However, the school lis certainly a
great institution, and its methods Of
instruction are interesting, even II some
times marked by a lack Of consideration
for the feelings of the scholars which
borders upon cruelty.
To illustrate: The first scholar ex-
amined daily is Secretary Bryan.
what do you know about the situa-
ton in Mexico today. Mr.. Secretary"
asks some professor bluntly.
Not thing" says the Secretary
in tone which carries an appeal that
his lack of knowledge be regarded in
diligently.
But do the professors let II so at
that? Not they. They proceed to
heckle the poor. unprepared pupil un-
mercifully. True, he may find out be
fore they get through that he knows
more than he thought he did. but it
Is painful process. And, TO tell the
profitable. For the next day Pupil
Bryan comes to his examination as i'll
prepared as ever.
The opinions of the professors about
Pupil Bryan is that he is not so dull
as he appears to be. They think he
has an obstinate indisposition to tell
all he knows except from a Chautau
qua platform. They also are inclined
to the belief that he sometimes feigns
ignorance merely to annoy the profess
sors. 1t is related of him. with what
truth ] am unable to say. that when
he was attending school at Salem, NJ.
he sometimes pretended right up to
the day for final examination that he
had been tagging behind in his studies
His purpose in this. it Is said, was to
,ring an effective surprise upon MS
professors. 1t will be recalled that
he pulled that same trick on the Chi
cago convention In 1896

Secretary Daniels decision that every possible
effort must be made to raise the submarine Pa
will meet with approval. Those who lost their
lives at the post OF duty, victims of some accident
or defect as yet unexplained, are beyond human
aid, and nothing can be done to assuage the grief
of their relatives. But the government owes it
to the men who serving their country in its
navy to discover the cause OF the tragedy OF Homo
lulu harbor, and take steps to prevent repetition.
No expense should be spared in the effort to bring
the F-4 to the surface.
