Z Iowa, in 1895. by Mr.. and Mrs.
John laurie of Crary, N. D., for adop-
toni, 3 when the estate Of Mr.. I4au-
re was up for settlement, Following
MS death recently, it developed that
the Lauries failed to file with any
court legal papers Of adoption, other
man to make an agreement with the
christian home that the boys would
be legal y adopted. AS a result OF this
neglect. the boys are now suing the
estate of John Laurie for a share of
IT, and petition will be submitted to
County Judge w. H. Swenson here
Friday, asking that the boys be de-
clared legally adopted ons of the late
John Laurie. The estate amounts to
about $4,000.
In their petition the boys, who now
live at Crary, declare that they had
lived with the Lauries since 1895.
when they were adopted, and that
they always had been under the i'm
preston that the proper adoption pa
pers had been filed. Carl c. Bastion

the Laurie farm until he was "a years

1t Is also stated in the petition, that
when they were IA and 10 years of
6 they threatened to leave the Lau-
RE home. but that Mr.. and Mrs. Lau-
RE insisted that they could not do so,
since they had been legally adopted.
They had always used the Laurie
name until a few years ago, when
they learned of the whereabouts of
their mother, They then assumed
their original names.
The present action is being brought
against John Shand, administrator,
Mrs. John Laurie and the three
daughters. The administrator and
the heirs have refused to permit the
Bastion boys to share in the estate,
and insist that the boys were. never
legally adopted. The only evidence
to be produced by the boys showing
of the intent of the Lauries to adopt
them is a paper called Certificate
Of Adoption" signed by the managers
of the Christian home and by Mr.. and

Half an hour later the sound of
hoof beats warned him of the ap-
proach of Webster and Dolores In

the launch such baggage as they had
been enabled to bring, and held the
gunwale, of the boat while mis- passen-

She did not answer, and Webster
knew her thoughts were out where the
arc lights on the outskirts OF Buena-
ventura met the open country--out
where the brother she could scarcely
remember and whom, until month
previous. she had believed dead, would
shortly muster his not too numerous

and his sporting code whispered to
Don Juan that 1t behooved him to
demonstrate his loyalty with every
means at his command, even unto his

With his Imagination still running
riot, Don Juan made the launch fast
to the little dock, down which he
ran straight for the warehouse, where
the Ruey mercenaries were still con-
gregated, busily wiping the factory
grease from the weapons which had
just been distributed to them from the
packing cases. A sharp voice halted
him, he paused, painting. to find him
self looking down the long blue bar

"Who are you, and what are you

Without further ado Don Juan
climbed into the truck. A little cit
adel of sheet steel had been built
around the drivers seat, with mar.
row slit in front through which the
latter peered out. The body Of the
truck had been boxed in with the same
material and housed two machine guns
emplaced, and crew Of half dozen
men crouched on the floor engaged in

BILL
UNDER CRITICS. FIRE
Failure to Provide for Review
of AIIocations by Of
ficiaIs Raped.

! Failure Of the Smoot- Woods re-
classification bill to provide for a re-
| view of ALLEGATIONS Of positions made
by departmental heads came in for
criticism at today's reclassification
hearing by the Senate and House
committees on civil service.
Both Senator Sterling chairman of
the joint committee. and Representa-
tive Lehlbach. who have reclassifica-
tion bills pending in Congress. indi-
Gated that they consider the Smoot-
Woods measure lacking in an essen
tial detail in its failure to authorize
a review of original ALLEGATIONS by an
Independent classifying agency.
DR.. Reese Testifes.
DR.. r. M. Reese. chief clerk of the
Department of Agriculture. whose
testimony took up the greater part
Smoot-Woods bill because of its
brevity and simplicity. In response
to questions by Senator Sterling and
Mr.. Lehlbach he admitted. however.
that it would be desirable to have an
outside body check up on the allo-
cations that would be made by the
departmental heads in order to intro
duce uniformity and standardization
into government work. He said the
Smoot-Woods measure apparently did
not have q provision for ironing out
discrepancies that would undoubted-
ly develop in making allocations by
departmental heads. On cross-examina-
tion. DR.. Reese said the Sterling bill
provided adequately for review Of allo-
cations.
Today's hearing took on a more
technical aspect than had any Of the
previous sessions. DR.. Reese was
the target Of searching questions
asked by many members of the joint
committee. The attendance of gov
eminent workers and others inter-
ested in the hearings showed a no
ticeable decline. The hearing adjourned
until Monday
Suggests Simpler Plan.
DR.. Reese was asked by Repre-
sentative Lehlbach if he did not
think a simpler plan of classification
would be to describe all government
positions in broad terms. with respect
to the character Of work required. rather
than by titles. The witness said this
plan would be probably more compre-
