MATHEsoN's WIDOW TO WIN
Court Indicates He Will Revoke Or der Removing Mrs. Patterson
 as Administrator.

In the case of the petition of T. c. Mccormack and others for the re moval of Mrs. William Patterson as the administrator of the estate of F. Matheson, Judge Robert Jennings plainly indicated in open court yes terday that it would need more than mere technicalities to have her re moved Attorney $. Hellenthal, re- presenting petitioners, asked for more time to submit authorities on the point at issue, which was grant ed the final decision to be made next Monday
 Upon the death of F. Matheson of Wrangell. his widow was made ad- ministrator. Her bondsmen for $50,- GOO were Peter c. Mccormack. j. C.. Grant and Donald Sinclair. Later she married William A Patterson. There after her bondsmen petitioned Com missioner Thomas of Wrangell for her removal, claiming that she was then nonresident of Alaska and that her marriage had the effect of cancelling her administration. Con- missioner Thomas appointed H. b. Campbell in her place. and Mrs. Pat terson at once appealed from his de cision to the District Court. Judge Jennings in passing upon the ques- ton said that the removal of wo- man as administrator of her own estate and that of her children was an extraordinary proceeding. Mrs. Patterson represented that she had secured a bonding company to issue her bonds and release petitioners, but it was claimed the new bonds were not sufficient She offered to have | them increased to whatever amount the court deemed fair
 Matheson's estate involved about s60,000. free from encumbrances. Matheson conducted Wrangells larg- est store for many years.

 Counsel for the state said the American Legion did not know there was to be a raid on the l. w. w. Hall on Armistice Day. He was right. But there were some who knew it. Lieutenant Cormier, Tn the meeting held in the Elks' Club, said it would ,'be good idea to down past the hall and show them how strong we are.
 Vanderveer charged that during the raid Cormier rode up to a sec ton of the parade which had halted block above the hall and asked hem to go back and finish the job." /"

ing had been called. At these meetings. Lane said. the Cabinet members had often transmitted mes sagcs to President Wilson through his aide and physician, Rear Ad- miral Grayson
 Chairman Porter, of the House Committee on Foreign Relations in statement issued today said that in his judgment the President should not have dismissed Secretary Lansing so harshly for calling the Cabinet meetings.
 President Wilson and Secretary Lansing are said by some officials to have disagreed on policies since before the war. It was said that Lansing while in Paris wanted the peace treaty with Germany separat- ed from the League of Nations, and that Henry s. White and Col. E M House, members of the Ameri- n"n mission, supported him in this direction, as they feared ratifica- ton of the treaty would be delayed if the League and pact were made irceparable.
 Illness Delayed 0usting
 The testimony of William M. Bull lit that Secretary Lansing had de- dared at Paris during the peace 1egctiations that the treaty would fail if the American people knew what it contained, probably came nearer to causing the break be tween the President and Secretary Lansing than any other incident, administration officials said, and it is declared that President Wlson's Illness was the only thing which prevented him from busting Lansing when Bullitt testified in Washing son. It is pointed out that Secre- tary Lansing has not seen the Presi- dent since Bullitt made his state ments.
