U. S. AND CHINA SIGN
NEW CUSTOMS TREATY

By the Associated Press.
A treaty between the United States
and China Professionally rearranging
the customs duties which China can
lcharge on imports Of tobacco, sugar,
spirits and luxuries was signed at the
State Department today by Secretary
Colby and DR.. Wellington Koo, the
Chinese minister.
The effect of the treaty is to pro-
vide graduated increases in the per
cent fat rate permitted on imports
into China under the treaty of 1903
as the receipts from that source,
owing to the diminishing purchasing
power of money, are insufficient to
MAINTAIN the government.

CAN ADEAD MAN
SUSTAIN ACASE?
COURT IS ASKED
Peculiar Situation Developes In
Fight Over Will of Peter
Holmberg.

Can a dead man sustain an action
in court?
This question was brought up be-
fore District Judge Wakeley ycster-.
day and puzzled him so much that he
postponed argument and decision of
the case until today. The strange
case is as follows:
Peter Holmberg, II, was found
dead i'll his room. December II, 1919.
The next day Mrs. Augusta Holm
berg, from whom he had secured
divorce October "a, 1919, appeared
in county court and named herself
sole heir of his estate of $4,000.
A few days later Judge Wakeley
set aside the decree of divorce
granted to Mr.. Holmberg October
"a on the ground that the statutory
six months had not elapsed and
therefore the divorce bad not taken
effect. This made Mrs. Holmberg
the legal wife and heir Of the de-
ceased.
Then John w. Battip, attorney for
Mr.. Holmberg brought into county
court a will made by Mr.. Holmberg
the day after he secured his divorce.
This will left nothing to Mrs.
Augusta Holmberg.
Now Mr.. Battin is seeking to set
aside the order of Judge Wakeley,
annulling the divorce decree of Oc-
tober "a. This would leave Mrs.
Holmberg without any claim on the
estate. j.,
But in Judge Wakeley's court yes
terday Ross Shotwell, attorney for
Mrs. Holmbcrg, demanded of Mr..
Battin: ,... ..
Whom do you represent? You
can't represen. a dead man. He
cannot direct you what action to
take on his behalf"
II represent the estate" said Mr..
Battin.
"But I represent the estate, as I
am the attorney for the widow OF
Mr.. Holmberg," said Mr.. Shotwell.
MRS. Holmberg is the widow of the
deceased and he, being dead, cannot
direct you to take any action. You
have no standing in court"
There was an uproar of argument
between attorneys and the judge and
it was finally quelled by postponing
argument .ntil today.
County Judge Crawford has ad-
mitted to probate the will made by
Mr.. Holmberg after he was granted
his divorce. Mrs. Holmberg has ap-
pealed to the district court.

disk rose in the summer evening,

radiance and making the magic OF
