IRENEDICKSON
.. CONTESTS Will
WI - nNNN - ~ A10AA
OF slIEHATHER
Sues to Have instrument Turn
ing Over $3.50, 900 to Ex- /
ecutor set Aside

Miss, Irene K. Dickson, through her
attorneys, the Law firms of Thompson,
Milverten & Cathcart, and Holmes &
Olson. has filed In Acircuit court a con-
test Of the will of the late Cecil
Brown, her stepfather, the value of
the estate being estimated at $250,000.
p Prior to 1908 Mr.. Brown made a will
which bequeathed practically the bulk
Of his estate to his wife, Miss Dickson's
mother. Upon the wifes death, say
the attorneys, another will was exc
cuted which provided that the bulk of
the estate 60 to Miss Dickson upon
his death.
a This will existed until 1914 when,
the contest says, Mr.. Brown executed
another. The attorneys say that this
will turned the bulk of the estate over
to H. N. Won Holt, present executor,
providing for Miss Dickson only to
the extent that she receive $3.50 a
month.
In part, the contest says:
Contestant further believes that
the said instrument alleged to be
the last will and testament of Cecil
Brown was executed by the said
Cecil Brown by the procurement
and undue influence of H. NJ. Won
Holt and therefore is not
the last will and testament of said
Cecil Brown, and that the said in
strument was the express
sion Of the wishes of said H. NJ.
Won Holt and did not express the
will or wishes of the said Cecil
Brown and that the said Cecil
Brown would not have made or
executed said alleged will if he
had not been subjected to the
aforesaid undue influence Of said
H. M. Won Holt"
The contestant further declares that,
at the time of the making of the last
alleged will, Brown was not Of sound
mind and was mentally incompetent"
In addition to the contest, Miss Dick
son has filed a petition for the pro-
bate Of the instrument made on May
rs, 1908, in which 1t is alleged she was
left the bulk of the property by the
last will and testament of Brown. She
asks for a judgment holding that the
contested will is null and void and not
entitled to probate.

has been used extensively to stir up
political factions in the troubled re.

vancement, he declares.
The parliament which met last
August has never been able to free it.
self from party politics" said Mr.. Will
loughby, "and there have been an
enormous number Of graft charges
against its members.
Things finally went 30 far, all of
the cabinet members with the excep-
ton Of Tuan Chi Jul, resigned, this
official remaining az prime minister
and minister Of war.
Around the head of Tuan Chi Jul
the whirlpool Of protest circled, the
parliament insisting that he resign
and Tuan stoutly resisting. A mob
broke out in Picking directed toward
intimidating the members of parlia-
ment. The mob was made ND mostly
Of coolies and 'rickshaw runners, and
most persons in the capitol believed
that they had been hired by the prime
minister.
Finally President Ii dismissed
Tuan Chi JUL" said Mr.. Willoughby,
"a thing which he had the legal right
70 do. This was about May %. The
dismissal raised q howl from Tuan's
following Of military men and open
revolt broke out against the central
government. Latest dispatches in
dictate that the president was prac.
dcally prisoner in the capitol.
ut is my belief that Ii Yuan Hung
Is sincerely DESTROYS Of maintaining
peace" declares Willoughly, "and of
keeping constitutional methods of gov
eminent. He is aware that he has no
legal power to dissolve parliament,
and will oppose the effort made by
Tuan and the military leaders to do
So"
Mr.. WiIloughby says that the par
lament has alternated as a parliament
proper and as a constitutional con-
Vention. 1t consists Of about 800
members, and the general tendency
seems to be to give these members
more power In the new constitution.
Mr.. Willoughby is a genial and
democratic appearing American with
q James Whitcomb Riley sort of face.
He is accompanied by his daughter,
Miss L. Willoughby. He is managing
editor Of the Political Service Review

The History of a Book.

Following Is the story of the first edi- ton of FItzgerald's celebrated transla- ton of Omar Khayyam:
 The book was issued anonymously and found no buyers. Accordingly the author went to Bernard Quaritch's shop, dropped a heavy parcel of 200 copies of the ''Rubaiyat" and said, "Quaritch, l make you a present Of these books"
 The famous bookseller offered them arst at half a crown. then at shilling, and. again descending, at sixpence, but ao buyers came. In despair he reduced the book to a penny and put copies into a box outside his door with tick ct. "All these are penny each" At that price the pamphlet moved. In a few weeks the lot was sold, and In this way one of tle finest gems of English literature was dispersed among not overdiscerning public.
 The legend has 1t that Dante Gabriel RoSsetti, Swlnburne and Burton were among those who discovered the "hid- den treasure in the penny box" Years passed. and the once desplsed volume rose in the market, and in 1898 Qua ritch bought In for f21 copy which forty years before he had sold for penny.-London Spectator.
