HODIAMONT BANK
Wins $4,000 SUIT
Judge Snider Takes Franklin
Away From Jury and
Ends Trial.

Judge John A. Snider yesterday aft
ernoon took the trial of the $500 Ho-
diamcnt Bank suit against the J. f.
Franklin estate out of the hands of
the jury and ordered a judgment in
favor of the bank, at the same time
ordering the Franklin estate to pay
the bank interest on its money.
Following the Judges action in set
ting the suit, preparations to appeal
the case to a higher court were made
by attorneys for the Franklin estate.
The case will be considered as
test case in the litigation in which the
Franklin estate is involved. Frank
Inns affairs still arc in the hands of a
liquidating committee, which, under
agreement Of the creditors, will settle
the estate and declare a final dividend.
The Hodiamont Bank of st. Louis
sued on a note for $4,000 signed by Mr..
Franklin, which was unpaid. The at
torneys for the Franklin estate urged
that the bank had entered the agree
ment to abide by the work of the liqui-
dating committee, and take the pro-
rata share of the money obtained.
The bank, however, contended that
it was not bound to the agreement by
reason of the fact that the banks
cashier signed the agreement and not
the directors.
The case had been pending in the
Common Pleas Court for a number of
months, and yesterday trial of the
case before a jury was started.

London, June 6.-Lord Kitchener
secretary of state for war, and his
staff have lost their lives in the de,
struction of the British cruiser Hamp,
shire off the Scottish coast, It was an,
nounced by the admiralty.
The cruiser was carrying Lord
Kitchener and his aids on their way
to Russia. The vessel either hit a
mine or was torpedoed
Search was made for survivors, but
none has been found.
The following official report was
made:
THE admiralty reports with deep
regret that the ship Hampshire, with
Lord Kitchener and his staff on board,
was sunk off the Orkney islands eth
CT by a mine or a torpedo.
-Four boats were seen by observers
on the shore to leave the ship.
Heavy seas were running, but pa
troll vessels and destroyers at once
proceeded to the scene.
AT the same time party was sent
along the shore TO sarch for bodies.
Only capsized boat had been found
up 20 the time of the issuance of this
report.
The whole shore has been searched
from the seaward, but it is greatly
feared that there is little hope for any
survivors. No report has yet been re-
ceived from the search party Oh shore.
The Hampshire was proceeding to
Russia"
All England was shocked too deeply
to give much thought to the question
of a successor, but there were quiet
reports on the street that David Lloyd
George, the present minister of NUM-
tons, might occupy the war portfolio.
The report to the admiralty of the
loss of the Hampshire was made by
Sir John Jellicoe, commander Of the
British grand fleet.
The British cruiser Hampshire car
ried a complement of 655 men, not
counting her passengers. /: IS not
known whether she was sunk by
mine or torpedo, but the fact that she
was destroyed while near the Orkney
islands, at the extreme northern end
Of Scotland, indicates she was at
tackled by a German submarine, I'm
less she accidentally ran into mine
which storms had caused to break
loose
The Hampshire displaced 1850 tons
and was in the same class with the
Devonshire, Argyll, Roxburgh, Antrim
and Carnarvon.
She was $50 feet ding and 65 feet in
the beam and was capable of % knots.
The lost cruiser was protected with
Krupp armor and was equipped with
four 75-inch guns, singly in turrets
fore and aft; six six-inch guns IN case
ments, three two-inch guns, 22 three
Founders, machine guns and torpedo
tubes.
The Hampshire was built at Flswick
and had been in commission about IL
years. She was commanded by Capt.
Henry w. Grant.

DO GEESE COMMUNICATE?

The Globe of Wellsville, Kansas, is
responsible for this interesting anec-
dote:
byron Shields is convinced that
geese have some method Of communi-
cation. Out on his farm he has a
number of geese which use the same
nest in a cattl eshed. The other
morning two of the geese were on the
nest when a turkey hen came along
and drove them off the nest, and ap-
propriated it to herself. The geese
waddled off, around the shed to where
the gapder was standing, and in a
minute or two the whole bunch of
geese, headed by the indignant gan
der, returned to the nest and the tur-
key hen. The old gander reached
down, nipped the turkey and literally
lifted her from her nest, and the two
geese took her place. Now if the old
gander wasn't told the trouble, why
did he come to the aid of his mates?

BABY CHRISTENED in
DRESSlO8Y EARSOLD
Yarberry Infant Is Named In
Costume Worn by Great,
Great Grandma.

The infant son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Luther Yarberry was christened by
Father Pruente at st. Mary's Catholic
church Sunday morning in dress that
was more than a century old.
Mrs. Alois thinner, grandmother of
the baby, remodeled the dress slight
ly, but it was a part of the gown worn
by a Miss RuessIer, the baby's great
great grandmother when she was led
to the altar in Bavaria in 1908.
The dress has been in the family
ever since, and several girls became
brides in it. After the gown was
abandoned as the costume for brides,
it was cut up and divided among the
girls in the immediate family. This
was nearly a half century ago.
Ms. Alois Zizmmer, the grandmoth-
er of Baby Yarberry, was given one
section of the dress. 1t has since been
worn by children at christening. Baby
Yarberry was the eleventh child to be
baptized in this dress. But for each
ceremony the costume had to be
altered. All of the thinner children
were christened in it. Al thinner, the
youngest of the thinner children, wa,
the last to receive his baptismal cere-
mony in it. He is now twenty years
of age.
After he was christened, Mrs. Zim-
mer announced that the dress would
become the property Of this son, and
it was at his suggestion that his little
nephew was baptized in it.
Baby Yarberry is a smaller baby
than Al thinner was, and in order for
this youngster to appear at home in
the dress, his grandmother reduced it.
After she had made it ready for her
little grandson, she found it necessary
to wash and iron the garment. And in
spite of the fact that it is 10S years
old, it stood the strain without tearing.
The dress is made of hand embroidery
and is of style that is worn this year.
Baby Yarberry was christened Glenn
Leonard Yarberry. His grandma and
his grandpa were his godmother and
godfather. Glenn is Just twelve days
old today, but he can coo-oh, how he
can cool

Pekin, June 6.-Yuan Shi Kai, presl-

ately advised Ii Yuan Hung, the vice
president, of his succession to the
presidency.
Yuan Shi Kai had been Ill for sew.

down.
Quiet prevails in the capital. The
death of the president apparently
solves the heated political crisis. Ii
Yuan lungs succession to the presi-
dency meets the demands of the lead
ers in the southern provinces.
When Yuan was taken ill May % it
was reported that he had been poi
soned, but this was emphatically de-
MED.
Yuan Shi Kai died while the storms
of revolution were gathering in IN
creasing strength. The revolt broke
out in December, 1915, when the presi-
dent announced his intention Of estab-
fishing a monarchy and ascending the
throne as the first emperor of new
dynasty. His coronation was set for
early in February of this year, but
was postponed indefinitely, owing to
the extraordinary rapidity with which
the revolt spread through southern
China. Several attempts were made
upon the presidents life and bomb
plot was discovered in the imperial
palace.
The establishing OF monarchy was
strenuously opposed by Japan and the
fina! abandonment Of the plan was
largely credited to the representations
made by Toxic.

COM'L CLUB 0. ks.
mail TRAIN IDEA
Hears Report on Frisco Franchise
Suit Before Judge
SanbOrn.

At short meeting Of the CONNER
cial Club last night move, sponsored
by the POstOffice Department, to obtain
an early morning mail train from St.
Louis south on the Memphis line of
the Frisco, was Endorsed and Secretary
Martin was instructed to advise the
postal authorities of the cooperation
of the Cape organization.
The proposed train would depart
from St. Louis about o'clock in the
morning and pass through this city
about 6 o'clock 1t would serve as 4
mail distributor to virtually all of
Southeast Missouri.
At the meeting a proposition to send
Secretary Martin to attend 4 meeting
to be held shortly by Commercial Club
secretaries in Springfield was referred
to the executive committee, and Mar
tin probably will make the trip.
A communication from Attorney
George B. Webster, of st. Louis, was
read bearing on the situation of the
city's case against the Frisco in max
ing the purchasers of the railroad at
the foreclosure sale maintain the city's
present franchise contract.
Mr.. Webster, who was retained by
the club to aid City Counselor Kne-
hans in fighting tic Frisco into 4
of the franchise contract,
before Judge Sanborn at St.
Louis, where the Cape's case was op-
posed by the counsel for the railroad
and the bonding companies holding
securities which are issued against
this part of the Frisco system.
Judge Sanborn gave time for both
sides to prepare briefs, and declared
that the Cape still had time to be
heard in court if the city's proposition
possesses merit. Mr.. Knehans and
Mr.. Webster now are preparing briefs
for the case.
Judge Sanborn also told Webster
that if the Cape should lose the case
in his court, he would suggest to the
city authorities here that at the time
Of the foreclosure sale the city be rep
resented. When the sale is held, the
Judge said, the Cape's representative
should give public notice of the city's
franchise contract with the railroad,
md that the city expected the purchas-
n to abide by the terms of that
contract. This move would remove all
of the purchaser setting up
| claim of being an innocent third

Mayor Rage, when told of this fea-
ure severl days ago, remarked that |
