Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Aug. 5-Two important de-
cs!ons have been filed in district court
here. one holding that an illegitimate
son must share in the division of an
estate and the other that u man has a
right to perpetuate his name 10y deed
of property.
The findings of Judge E. NJ. Mccall
in. the celebrated case OF Hastings
against Hastings were submitted This
case involved property valued at be-
tween SIS, 900 and 100000. The cnse
was tried at the April term of court.
an agreement being made that the
findings should be submitted in vaca-
ton. The issues were whether an IL
legitimate child could be deprived or
his rights as a child under will.
George w. Hastings, for years n resi-
dent of Hardin county, died Feb. IL.
1918, in san Diego, Calf. Some time.
before his death he made a will In
which he gave considerable PARTON
of his property. mostly real estate in
Hardin county, to the Christian Home
for the Aged at Council Bluffs. An
illegitimate son, George ID. Hastings
brought suit to protect his alleged
rights as child and to set aside the
will of the father-in in disposing OF his
property to an outsider Under the
decision of Judge Mccall the illegiti,
mate son is given three-fourths Of the
value OF the estate, after payment OF
debts against the estate.
Both father and son were WELL
known. residents of Hardin county, the
elaer Hastings owning a number or
farms and being prominent In the
business interests of the community.
Hastings was never married and had
no other children.
+ '.' Can Perpetuate Name.
Several years ago suit was brought
by Mrs. Tmma Yarger, the owner OF
the Winchester Hotel property in Ell
dora, to quiet title to the real estate.
The case was heard on demurrer at
the April term of court. and Judge NC
Call returned his findings to the clerk
of the courts today. The question in
volved was whether n man could per-
petuate his name in the title to proper
ey. Twenty or more years aso >. y.
Winchester, when a resident of Ell
dora, gave to John Porter as trustee
n deed to a lot in Eldora, the condition
being that the hotel to be erected there
on should always bear the name VIM
chester and should always be used Tor
hotel purposes. Porter sold the prop
z,,,,, ,;,;,., , dacl which did not recite
the conditions in the first deed. Plain
tiff in the present suit claimed risht
to The property without considerations
of any sort by virtue of adverse pos
session. BY the findings of the court
the Winchester deed stands and the
name Is thus pedpetuated.

May Disarm Hungarian Armies.
[BY the HaYas AGenCY.l

Paris. Aug. 5.-Most of the newspa-
pers here, commenting on the Hungar-
ian situation, think it would be wise to
take every advantage Of present cir
cumstances to establish stable gov
ernment in Hungary.
S The Excelsior endorsed the sugges-
ton that peace In central Europe de-
pends on thorough disarmament OF
Hungarian troops. and suggested that
the victorious Roumanian army under
take this disarmament. -
II the Roqrnanians were to return to
diplomacy, the Echo de Paris said, all
elements Of Magyar resistance. appar-
ent or concealed under the cloak of
bolshevism, would be reused quickly.

IA Budapest and Killing Civilians.
Paris, Aug. 5.-TeleSrams from
I American officials at Budapest stats
that Roumanian troops upon entering
| Budapest yesterday started plundering
in the suburbsl Fifteen or twenty civ
ilians were killed during the day.
The American report said the Rou-
manians were demanding hostages and
threaten to kill five hostages for each
Roumanian soldier killed in Budapest.
Some of the new Hungarian ministry
have been arrested by the Roumanians.
Conditions Chaotic.
Advices from various sources on the
Hungarian situation indicate chaotic
conditions prevail in the capital 1t is
apparent, however, that the allied pow
ers are bending all efforts to adjust
affairs as speedily as possible.
The advance toward Budapest by
troops Of the Szegedin government
may be considered as indicating the
intention Of that ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
lied some time ago outside tiA capr
ital by -bolshevik elements, main
ly bourgeois and peasant-to have a
hand in the permanent government for
Hungary. Roumania's interest is
mainly to make sure that the Hungar-
ians are rendered militarily impotent.
The reported advance of the Jugo-
Slavs toward Budapest is new ele-
ment in the situation. One explanation
might be that the Jugo- Slav authorl-
ties consider their territorial claims
would be better safeguarded with their
lines nearer the Hngarian capital.
Some advlces have reported that the
temporary cabinet formed under Jules
PeidH already out to bS snpplanted by
a new ministry. with communistic rep
resentation eliminated. There has
been some indication that the SZegedn
and Bdapcst leaders might be willing
to CO. operate in the forming of such
q ministry.

WILD RUMORS EXTANT
REGARDING TREATY
SCheidemann And Rantzau Out dispatches Say
Better Chances For Treaty Signing Navy
Aviation Appropriation InCreaSed---Army May
Be Larger
(By The Associated Press)

LONDON, June 20-Signing of
peace treaty by Germany certain if
signatures were already affixed, says
a Copenhagen dispatch from Weimar.
LONDON, June 2O-The German
national assembly at Weimar has ac-
cepted the peace treaty says an EX-
change telegraph dispatch from Paris,
COBLENZ, June 20-Noske will
succeed Scheidemann says a Weimar
dispatch. Erzberger will succeed
Rantzau as foreign secretary.
PARIS, June 2O-The fall Of the
Scheidemann government has been
confirmed by military advices through
Coblenz from Weimar. Berlin be-
lieves that this assures the signing of
the treaty as Scheidemann was the
chief opponent to the acceptance.
PARIS, June 20-The Council of
Three met and discussed the Ger
man situation, and Italian cabinet
crisis. Reports concerning changes
in the German cabinet are premature,
said German official wireless. "The
National Assembly at Weimar tried
to constitute a majority in favor of
signing the treaty. That is impossi-
BILE because of divisions among the
parties. News regarding the changes
in cabinet premature"
It is understood that Scheidemann's
fall from power entails also the fall
of President Eberts and it is report
ed that the Germans have asked for
an extension of time to act on the
treaty.
WEIMAR, June 20-The cabinet al
though resigned will continue office
temporarily until Eberts is able to
form a new one.
WEIMAR, June 20-Poll Of mem
bers of the National Assembly seems
to show that peace cannot fail to be
accepted.
