FILES PETITION
 ID SET ASIDE
 JENKINS WILL

Another effort to set aside the will of the late r. G. Jenkins, wealthy Sherill planter, who was murdered at his home in December, 1915, is being made. A petition has been filed in the Jefferson probate court by N. T. Jenkins on behalf of Edith Jenkins children of Brunson Jenkins aged 12. and John Brunson Jenkins, deceased, asking that the order ad- hitting the will to probate be set aside.
 The petition sets up that the fath- CT of the children was a half-brother to F. c. Jenkins, and claims that but for the will disposing of the property they would have shared in the estate The petitioner contends that the will is of no effect "because it was exc cuted under undue influence" and be- cause MT. Jenkins was "without tes- tamentary capacity at the time of making said will"
 By the terms of the will, admitted to probate on January TO- 1916, the income from the Jenkins estate goes to his widow. Upon her death the income is to be apportioned share and share alike to the Davis hospital, the Deaf Mute institute, and the Cath ollie Orphans home at Little Rock.

 "It is evident" said the committee "that. certain branches of the Luther an church were particularly active in defending the German cause during the period of neutrality, not only by means of religious teachings, but by work through Secular societies, es- pecially the subsidiary organizations of the German-American alliance"
 The American association of for eign language newspapers, embracing about six or seven hundred newspap- CTS published in thirty languages the report also stated, circulated pro- German articles.
 Regarding other newspapers, the report added:
 Many English newspapers, both before and for months after America entered the war, persisted to create la popular prejudice against the war and against effectual action on the part of the United States"
 Irish American and JeWish-Ameri- can were among organizations in the propaganda, the report asserted, add ing that it would be difficult to write a full history of ramifications of pro- German propaganda.
