SAMUEL CHEW WILL
PUZZLES LAWYERS
Discovery of Second instrument
Made Disposition of
Estate Difficult

Attorneys for tho state of Pennsyl-
vnnia arc pu2zling their heads for a
correct Interpretation of the will Of
the late Samuel Chew, according to
deputy Attorney General William NJ.
largest
BY the terms Of the will the state
was to become possessed Of ClivdCn, the
historic Chew mansion in Germantown,
under certain contingencies. Owing to
the discovery of another will disclosed
through the terms of an attached COdicil,
the matter has been complicated, ac-
cording to the lawyers, and will have to
be carefully studied as to what was
meant by the testator.
''This office has received copy of
the remarkable will and codicil of Sam
ucl Chow, ana will give it careful con-
sidcraton," ," said Deputy Attorney Gen
eral largest.
"I'pon Il superficial examination, the
commonwealth does not seem to have
much right in this matter.
"First, if Mr.. Chew's will would be
set aside on the ground of a lack of
testamentary capacity, then the estate
would unquestionably go to his next
of kin.
Second, assuming that the will is
valid. the commonwealth would get
nothing unless no member of his fam
lily would buy the estate at the price
he fixes.
"Third, if the will and rodicil should
be held valid. but the proviso with ref
erence to holding the letter of instruc-
tions until IL communication was re
ceived, was held to be invalid. still the
commonwealth would have no claim.
This is superficial consideration,
but we will go into the matter more

Paris. Aug. 1G.-Paris' first real dis
play of styles since the war began
is being attended by about 800 AmCri
can buyers, who, however, are show
ing themselves to be more independent
Of the dictates of French dressmnkers
than ever before.
Brown, according to the new models
is again in marked favor. Soft ma
tcrials are used generally and founccs.
panniprs and the design of the new
models tend toward the strictly femi-
nine appearance. There is not the slight
est suggestion of the masculine, tailor
made effects Of the past.
Paris is clnging to skirts hanging
seven to eight inches from the ground.
American buyers, the drcssmakcrs say,
are ridicuing the shortncss of the gowns,
although frankly admitting American
skirts have been too long. It is said
to be likely American women will be
offered compromise in lengths.
One of the prominent American buy
ers said today that mo well formed
woman looks well in really long skirt,
and it cannot be graceful" but he
laughed at n drcssmaker's suggestion
that Americans want long skirts be-
cause American women do not have
pretty ankles.
L. S. Leads-Even in Ankles
"American women have the Drettiest
ankles and feet in the world" the buyer
replied. "and they also are the best
shod, but they realize that the ex -
tremPly short skirts are ridiculed, and
they believe in moderation"
Although the Americans designed
their own styles to n great extent dur
ing the war. they apparently are finding
much that is worth while in the Paris
display rooms, although viewing things
! from a newly independent point OF
view
Passport difficulties. it was said. kept
the number Of American buyers from
being much larger.
The buyers have been busy all this
week viewing the new models, and they
will continue to attend displays next
week when some of the most important
firms will show their winter styles.

of him: .....-
At the construction of bridge over
the Meuse the engineers picked Judge
to take rope in his teeth and swim
to the other side in the face of enemy
sniping.
Judge caught the idea at once and
padded his way across. The raking
fire couldn't keep him from swimming
back on a second trip, but on the third

Ole Hanson and the Terrorists.

Mayor Ole Hanson of Seattle, op-

has addressed an appeal to the mayors
of all cities in the United States urg-
ing the closing of all I. w. w. halls,
arrest of the leaders and suppression
of the red flag.
In Victory loan address before the
Topeka chamber of commerce Mayor
Hanson denounced the policy pursued
by the government towards anarchism
and the l. w. w. as "a skim milk,
weak, vacillating and changeable" one
and pronounced warning Of "a wide
spread, national effort to overthrow
the government and society by vio-
lence." He declared the government
was on the wrong track in starting
conferences instead of cemeteries in
dealing with the I. w. w. and in the
singing of brotherly love and turning
loose these enemies of society. 81 trust
Washington will buck up and clean
up, and either hang or incarcerate for
life all the anarchists in the country.
You may be willing to deport these
traitors, but am ready to hang them

Were there more mayors like Ole
Hanson in the country there would be

Their Feelings Outraged.

Knowing the characteristics of the
niger as they do, American soldiers
object to their escorting white women.
A London dispatch says:
Twelve soldiers were sent to the
hospital after a fight Monday night
between British South African colored
troops and Americans serving in the
British army awaiting embarkation
at the British camp at Winchester,
Hampshire. According to the London
News the trouble originated over the
fact that the colored troops frequent
ly went out walking with white wo-
men. A party of colored men, armed
with sticks, went out Monday night
looking for Americans. They were
met by the British military police, who
sent them back to their quarters.
Later in the evening the Americans,
who had heard of the incident, marched
to the African quarters and pitched
battle ensued for an hour and half.
Finally the fight was ended by British
troops.

hands heartily with the doctor and
said:

Darwin and the Mule.

Charles Darwin, the distinguished
scientist, paid this fine and just tribute
to the too often maligned mule:
"He always appears to be a most
surprising animal. That a hybrid
should possess more reason, memory,
obstinacy, social affection, and powers
of muscular endurance than either of
it's parents seems to indicate that art
has here ADMINISTERED nature"
This testimony is supported by all
the intelligent men we have ever met
who really knew the mule.-Our Dumb
Animals. "

Humane Education.

Humane education is the foundation
of all reform. If it were universally
adopted, poverty, crime and war would
be greatly diminished, and in time the
vast amount of money expended to
sustain armies, prisons, ETC., would be
saved for the benefit of the people.
The following states have compulsory
humane education laws: Oklahoma,
Illinois, Colorado, Wyoming, North
Dakota, Maine, Michigan, South d.
