Provision Added in 1920

This provision was added jy
the Act of 1920. Section 13O
provides that upon the filing of
a petition for probate of a will
a citation shall be issued to all
persons who would be entitled
to or interested in the estate cf

tice to those who might take
under a prior will. That this
contemporary construction of
section 130 by the court and the
apparently uniform practice
hereunder, is correct, is more
clearly apparent from the fact
that Congress, with knowledge
of this practice, made NO change
when it amended section I4O as
above stated.
"It may be that in addition
to heirs and next of kin who
take by operation of law had
no will been executed, persons

Sister Acts to Set Aside

After due publication and notice
the will was admitted to probate
and counsel for the sister, Mrs.
Nicodemus, applied for an order
setting aside such admission Of
the will to probate.
1t was claimed by counsel for
the petitioner that. under an
earlier will, dated July 6, 1881,
that the petitioner was named
residuary legatee of the estate and
that the later will was not a valid
one. Principally, however, the
question was as to whether the
admission of the last will to pro-
bate was valid because of the
failure to give notice to persons
claiming under a former will?"
Respondents pointed out that
the petitioner was better provided
for under the last will than she
was in the earlier one and then
filed memorandums and briefs
supporting the provisions of the
code with reference to notice.
The court, apparently finding
that the petitioner had in fact.
actual notice of the filing of the
later will, said in his opinion:
"SectiOn 14O of the Code re-
lating to proceedings after ca
veat expressly provides for no.
tice to all persons claiming
under the will in question or
any other instrument on file
purporting to be the will of the
decedent.'

Up to Commissioner

1t was on the failure Of the
petitioner to make such a show
ing of good moral character that
the certificate was withheld, the
respondents stated in their an
swer and a number of violations
of the laws on the part of the
petitioner were cited to justify the
action.
In that state of affairs, Justice
Bailey held that it was a discre-
tionary authority of the Commits
sioner and not a ministerial duty
WHICH he must perform. The

His Petition Refused

The Commissioner of Immigra-
ton has refused to issue such GER
tificate, despite the fact that in a
habeas corpus action in the Fed
eral courts of New York in which
he was the petitioner for release
under a deportation process, it was
held that he was illegally detained.
(36 Fed. 90 239), petitioner stated.
Counsel for the respondents
averred that the act of March 2,
1929, was passed to meet the re-
qu1rements of the present case.
The act deals specifically with the
registry of aliens as to whom
there is no record of admission
for permanent residence in this
country and merely authorizes
the Commissioner of immigration
to issue a certificate of such reg
istry provided the applicant can
show to the Commissioners salts
faction that he is of good moral
character.

Middleburg Hounds met at
Glenwood Race Track on Satur-
day, the coldest morning of the
season so far. Riders looked
very uncomfortable as they
clapped their hands to keep
warm, Shivered and shook while
waiting for hounds to be off.
There was the smallest field
this season, for it took nerve to
get up early and go out this
cold morning. The joint masters,

off promptly at 10 a. m. There
were several lovely horses
Champing at the bit to be off
whose riders were late. But
finally all were mounted.
AS they went over the first
fence from the race track field,
into the Dillon Farm, a big
red fox jumped. That gave
followers a short run and got
them warmed up. After cir
cling a little, he ran down across
the race course in full view of
the few spectators who were
out.
The fox was a beauty, and
although we could see him
plainly and he came quite close
to us, it was such a cold and

gave the hounds the slip, and
was lost.
