A SENSATIONAL LAWSUIT.

There is a big legal battle in Judge
,Dickinson's Court room of the dis
trict Court over the will of the late
Chas. Turner, an old citizen, who left
property worth about $1,000. Mr..
Jordan NJ Morris is the beneficiary in
the will Mrs. Nancy Clark Of
Augusta, Ga, is contesting for her
share as his half sister, other relatives
have filed claims. The contestants
are represented by Attorneys Hall.
Shapiro and Hilyer. Mr.. Gale P
Hilyer made a trip to Augusta to OBJ
tain evidence. Mr.. Morris is rep
resented by Attorneys Mcintyre, Nor
ris and Jackson. The case now heard
is an appeal from the decision of
Judge Dahl in Probate Court. The
plaintiffs claim that Mr.. Turner was
incompetent and that Mr.. Morris
exercised undue influence upon him
on making this will. Several deposi-
tions from prominent people in
Augusta will be offered in evidence,
and local witnesses will be called to
testify. Among the witnesses are
Mrs. M. o. Cannon, Mrs. c. G. Glib
son, Mrs. J. B. Glover, Edw. Ham,
mond, Drs. Brown and Redd for the
plaintiffs. Mrs. M. o. Hatcher of
St. Paul, Undertaken Lawrence, Mr..
John Cheatham, Mr.. Mack Brady
and others for the defendant. The
case will be a long one extending in
to next week. Mr.. Chas. Turner was
one of the oldest and highly respect
ed citizens. His wife died in June
1914. He died about a year later. He
was found asphixiated by gas. Their
remains were buried at their home in
Augusta, Ga. Mr.. Morris had resided
with them for many years and was
for time in business with him. He
is now in possession of the property
and conducts a real estate and loan
office in the Boston Block.

Cabinet Will Assemble
First Time in Afternoon

President Wilson spent the morning
today playing golf with Mrs. Wilson.
He left the White House shortly be-
fore 9 o'clock and returned near noon.
He had no appointments to see visitors
during the day. He broke another
urecedeut when he gave orders that
the regular meeting of the. cabinet
should be held this afternoon at 2:30
o'clock. and at that hour in the future
until further notice.
Their, is no recollection on the part of
Oldest White House employees of after
noon cabinet sessions. 1t is not known
make the afternoon hour regular one,
iect being to give him more time for
seeing visitors and attending to once
work in the morning.
This week the President will play
golf each morning when he has oppor
tunity, but next week, with Congress
in session. the presumption is that the
President will resume his regular
schedule of seeing visitors in the fore
noon in the executive offices. So far
since his return from Shadow Lawn.
he has not worked in the executive Of
fees, spending his working time in the
study of the White House. The fact
that senators and representatives are
at work in the afternoon Is expected to
continue the timehonored policy of
making engagements for them i'm the
morning hours. when they can be away
from the Capitol.

WOMEN OF THE CITY MAY
PLAN HIGH COST ACTION
Embargoes on Foodstuffs to Be Dis
cussed at Meeting of District
Federation of Clubs Tonight.

Concerted action against the high
cost of living in Washington by the
women of the city probably will be
planned at a meeting of the District
of Columbia Federation of Women's
Clubs at the New Ebbitt at o'clock
this evening, according to Mrs. J. Ed
son Briggs. chairman of the home eco
nomics department of the federation.
This action probably will be in line
with the efforts of the housekeepers
of New York and Philadelphia. who
placed home embargoes upon certain
commodities for which exorbitant prices
were charged.
The matter first was brought up un-
officially before the association several
days ago and referred to Mrs. Briggs.
She will be unable to attend this even
ing's meeting, but the subject is to be
for discussion by Miss Ellen
Marshall Rugg of the federation and
also connected with the Housekeepers'
Alliance of Washington.
Mrs Briggs this morning spoke en-
in favor of establishing en-
bargoes against unnecessarily high
priced articles.
1T is practically the only means we
have of reducing the high cost of liv-
ing" she said. I'VE should like to take
some steps toward reducing the price
of turkeys before Thanksgiving. but I
doubt if we have sufficient time"
