The orders confirmed by Judge Pratt were issued by the U. s. Commissioner of the Noatak-Ko- bulk district on a petition filed by the Seattle bank. The banks peti- ton charged that Mrs. Cross had mismanaged the estate, that she had failed to file the will for pro- bate in Alaska, that she had fail ed to account for the deceased's share in the partnership and that she had disposed of assets of the company. The petition declared that suppliers had refused to ship more merchandise to the company because of indebtedness.
 U. S. Commissioner Arthur J. Flatt of the Noatak-Kobuk dis trict issued an order on August 2 in favor of the petitioner and citing Mrs. Cross to show cause why it should not be granted.

WHITE 5Ox MAY SIGN up NEGRO
 A5 '49 PLAYER

CHICAGO, Dec. 11-tR-The Chi cago White SoX for the first time may hire negro baseball player, 1t was learned today
 As the frost-bitten baseball cara van moved from Minneapolis m.nor league convention to the big league sessions in Chicago, reports circu- lated that the Sox were trying to buy Sam Jethroe, a negro outfielder, from Broohiyn's Montreal farm.
 Frank Lane, Chicago's energetic general manager talked with Branch Rickey, Dodger president. for sev- eral hours yesterday with Jethroe the chief topic of conversation. Lane, anxious to revivify the cellar Sox with youth, speed and hustle, and at the same time give the Sox fans gate attraction, is eager to land Jeth oe.
 The only intolerance is the sales price. Hickey, who has h.s own .deas of the relative worth of his players, has set a fancy price on Jethroe. He is perfectly willing to give up the fleet-footed flychaser, tut for S4O,OO0. Ironically, the Sox cou,d have had Jethroe for nothing two years ago. They gave him trial at Comiskey Park two sum- mers ago but he failed to impress.
 Jethroe, 22, batting in the lead off spot for the International League champion Royals last season, hit 322. Although he played in only 75 games, he was tied for the league lead in stolen bases with 18.

and door opening on to large
porch, at the back of the east wing
of the house.
At the back of the hall there is an
old door, believed to have been the
original door, hinges and lock. 1t
has the metal openings at both sides
where the iron bars were used to bar
the doors. These we're added as a
protection against the raiding par
ties of soldiers during the Civil
War.
The woodwork in the front part of
the house is painted, and Miss Cush-
wa says she believes the wood is
walnut; in the kitchen, at the rear
of the house, the woodwork is pine.
Running through the center of the
long south wing, or back part of the
house, is a hallway, with rooms
opening off both sides. Miss Cush-
wa states that some of the people
of Rochester, N. Y, believe this
hall was the rope-walk of the Ro-
chester and Hart Company, which
l described some time ago. Miss
Cushwa says that the people of
Rochester are very much interested
in the house, and many of them stop
for a visit. The name of Rochester
has been carried down to this day
and some of the descendants of Ma
thaniel Rochester are still rope
makers.
And now, a few incidents con
corning this house in the days of
the Civil War. Mrs. Findlay, DR..
Kennedy's daughter, said that in
the first group of soldiers from Con
necticut and Massachusetts, was a
friend of her mothers. So he came
to the house, bringing some friends,
and from that day, the place was a
center of all sorts of war activities
social and benevolent.
After the fighting started locally
there were wounded men, and g
number of temporary hospitals
were set up. Mrs. Findlay's moth
err began daily visits to these hos
pitfalls, taking with her gallons Of
chocolate, soup, cornstarch, and
coffee" prepared in the kitchen Of
Mt. Prospect. The u. S. Sanitary
Commission sent her numerous
supplies for the hospitals. Mrs
Findlay recalls working with other
members of the family, tying ur

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

l hope everyone in Washington
County took the opportunity to see
the Freedom Train. We certainly
owe great amount of respect and
gratitude to those who gave so much
for the cause of Freedom. A feel
ing of near reverence comes over
YOU as you look on the faded Dec
laration" that meant the birth of a
new Nation; the immortal manu-
script of the Constitution" penned
with wisdom and foresight that has
made America great; and the sigma
lures written by the hands of many
great men of those days.
At another, shorter, "Proclama-
ton" you are stirred deeply by the
great sorrow that Abraham Lincoln
had for an oppressed people. Lin
coin didn't want war: but even more,
he didn't want slavery. We read in
his own handwriting: Gas / would
not be a slave, so l would not be a
master. This expresses my idea OF
ocracy-Whateve differs from
this, to the extent of the difference,
is no democracy. A. Lincoln"
Lincoln's statement has deep
meaning for us today. Once again
there is a threat to Democracy; and
if we would not be slaves, we must
rid the world of masters.
After leaving the Freedom Train
l had the privilege of seeing inside
the historical house described last
week, the Rochester House, also
known as Mount Prospect" There
| had very delightful visit with
Miss Cushwa. She told me quite g
few interesting things about the
house and showed me a number OF
the rooms. Miss Cushwa is much in
terested in old homes, and enjoys
living at Mt. Prospect.
The main part of the building, fac
ing on Washington Street, contains
three rooms, two, the large ones
mentioned last week, and a hall
There is a fire place in each of these
and all of the others that l saw. The
gun room is still there, much as i
was in Mrs. Findlay's time, as Mis-
Cushwa's father was also a collector
of guns and hand weapons. Neal

good nursing care, he soon return

who later became one of the great

of the Supreme Court, Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, Jr.
One Sunday morning the Episco-
pal Church was filled with soldiers
from the South. The Rev. Henry
Edwards was asked if he would
risk using the prayer for the Pres
ident of the United States, and he
answered "most assuredly." Every
one was highly excited, and expect
ing trouble. So when he used the
prayer, sure enough, one officer got
up from the front pew and marched
noisily down the aisle. Several To-
cal girls sat up to see what would
happen, but nothing else happened.
The next day some Southern pri-
Yates came to the Kennedy home
and expressed severe criticism of
their officer, saying that he knew
he was in Union territory, that the
minister was doing his duty, and
that the officer should not have
gone out. They were also critical
of the irreverence of the girls.

called flint" to be used as we use
absorbant cotton today.
When the Confederates crossed
the Potomac, the Kennedys were
cut off from the North, as was
everyone in Hagerstown, and were
surrounded by hungry army.
Soldiers came daily to the house, and
were always fed Mrs. Kennedy al
ways told the soldiers that they were
eating "Union Bread" and that they
were being fed because they were
hungry, not because she sympathiz-
ed with their cause. Most of these
soldiers were polite and grateful.
When word scame that the con-
federates were coming into Mary
land, Mrs. Kennedy hid several
barrels of flour in the cellar. Later
a Southern officer came to the house
and demanded a barrel of flour. So
that he would not see how much
flour she had, she sent him away
saying that the flour would be ready
if he returned He came back with
some soldiers and carried away the
flour. Then he asked for paper and
a pen, with which he wrote fancy
voucher stating that the Confeder-
ate Government had bought bar
rel of flour. He then put Mrs. Ken
nedy's pen in his pocket and left
Mrs. Kennedy reports that the
whole family would run out to the
street TO see anything that was hap
pening. Some of the younger would
climb ladder to trapdoor in the
roof. From here they had an ex-
cellent view of most of the town.
She told of seeing Union soldiers be-
hind Zion Reformed Church, duck
ing behind the grave stones, as they
engaged fire with a group of Con-
federates on North Potomac Street.
On one occasion she was on the roof
watching when a minnie balP'
whizzed over her head It was SO
close that she fell in fright back
through the trapdoor.
After the battle of Antietam the
town was flooded with wounded
men. Many of those stopped at the
Kennedy home while waiting for
the train to return home. So for q
time the house was almost an out
going department for all the local
( hospitals.
One evening two young officers
walked up the north side of Wash
| ington Street, one of them obvious
w suffering from a severe wound
in the neck. Mrs. Kennedy sent one
of the boys over to invite them to STOP
for a rest The wounded man was
tall and handsome, very distinguish
ed looking, and had had rifle bal

asked him to stay until he should
