EXECUTOR OPPOSES CLAIM OF MRS. WHITE Insists that (he Is Not the Legal Widow of Henry White and Therefore Kot Ratified to Share In Estate. Another chapter in the impending saloon fight was written yesterday when former Councilman Charles H. liuber filed in the district court a petition for an injunction to restrain 11. A. Larsen, supposed proprie tor of the Manhattan saloon at 418 Broad way, from selling Intoxicating liquors. The filing of the petition Is taken to Indicate that the efforts of friends of the warring saloonmen to bring about a settlement of the controversy have failed. Within a short time after the filing of Huber'a petition, II. A. Larsen filed an answer In which he denies that he la now or has been for a period of more than one year last past engaged in any manner whatever In the sale of Intoxicating liquor contrary to law on the premises described In Huber'a complaint, or at any other place within the Fifteenth judicial district. The list of real estate transfers recorded Tuesday shows a sale of the Manhattan saloon property from H. A. Larsen to Anders Larsen. The consideration named is $10,00. In hl petition, Huber alleges that the manner In which the Manhattan saloon has been conducted constitutes a nuisance, under the laws of Iowa, and to his "great and Irreputable Injury." He cites the fact that the saloon has front, side and other doors, some of which lead to other rooms, besides a cellar equipped for saloon pur poses and a restaurant adjacent to the saloon proper, all of which, It Is contended, is in violation of the mulct law. Complaint Is also made In the petition that in the saloon there are mirrors, chairs, tables, pictures, screens and other devices to hide the view from the street and to entice per sons to enter and remain In and about the saloon.

Widow's Claim Contested. Judge Wheeler In district oourt yester day began the hearing on the application of the widow of the late Henry White of this city or an allowance of 11,300 for her support from the estate. . The application Is resisted by O. H. White of Emerson, la., executor of the estate, oh the alleged grounds that the applicant was not legally the wife of Henry White. Mrs. White, prior to her marriage to Henry White, waa Mrs. Minnie M. Ten nant. She was 80 years of age at the time of the marriage to White in this city in August, 1904, while White was 80 years of age. Within a few weeks after the mar riage Mrs. White left her husband and in stituted suit for divorce. White died before the case came to trial and Mrs. White, after his death, dismissed the suit. White In his will left all his property to his "legally married wife." O. II. White, the executor. In resistance to the application alleges that In Kansas Mrs. White was given a conditional decree of divorce from her former husband, M. Tennant, the decree to become effective on payment of the costs. It is Hlleged by the executor that Mrs. White did not pay the costs of the divorce action In the Kansas rourt until several months after she had been married to White and this, lie con tends, made her marriage to White il legal. Mrs. White failed, to. appear in court yes terday and a subpoena was Issued for her, but the officers failed to find her.. Judge Wheeler accordingly continued the hear ing until such time as Mrs. White can be located and brought Into court.' Flora Thompson was granted a divorce from Magnus Thompson, the custody of their minor children and $100 a year ali mony. It waa stated that the defendant would appeal. The hearing In. the case of Wllllsm Bur rhard of Crescent City, charged with be ing an habitual drunkard, was continued until the first day of the next term, which will be August 91. Arreaa-e.

MINERS' SCALE AGREED UPON Remainder of Week Will Be Consumed in Drafting the Atrreement. NO FURTHER HITCH IS ANTICIPATED Governor Cummins Prepares to In vade the So-t'niled Reservation'' ou a Sneaking Toor Ite solts of Primaries. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, April 18.-(Special.)-The scale committee of the Iowa coal mine operators and miners concluded this morn ing the work of making the scale for the next two years, which concludes the greater part of the work. This work safely over it Is believed that all danger of any serious strike Is at an end and that all railroads In this state that have taken oft trains because of a fear of a prolongation of the strike will put the trains back on. The brick yards ore suf fering In this city and are unable to till orders because of the lack of coal, having failed to stock up before the cessation of work. The work of making the resolu tions has been taken up and will take the remainder of this week at least, for the rea son that the resolutions Include the mat ters of fines and lower wages In case of lower prices In competitive fields. It is believed, however, that there will be no serious difficulty arising from this source. Hearing; nn llusse Case. Governor Cummins has granted a further hearing on the case of Ixuils Busse, for whom a respite ha been asked in order to submit certain questions to the supreme court. The hearing will bo had Thursday at 11 o'clock. Bubse Is under sentence to bo hanged Friday morning at 8 o'clock. Busse's attorneys have raised the ques tion as to authority for the hanging. They assert that Busse was first sentenced to be hanged In lfi03, but that the supreme court court did not act on his case till some time after that date. Having passed the first date they assert there is now no authority for the execution and that a writ of habeas corpus should be granted and would be by the supreme court If there was time to get tho case before thut body. (inrt to Reservation. Governor Cummins the last of this week will make his first Invasion of the reserva tion territory in the southern part of the state. He will speak at Keokuk Friday evening, at West Point Saturday ufter noon and at Fort Madison Saturday even ing. Arrangements have been made for him to make an address in Foster's Opera houso In this city the evening of April 27, the evening following the appearance of George D. Perkins here. Definite returns today received from Spirit Lake show that in Dickinson county the primaries held yesterday resulted In giving Cummins 9ol votes to 4o4 for Per kins. That the interest was intense in that county Is shown by the fact that In some precincts the total vote at the republican primaries was larger than the total vote at some elections for sll parties.

All thut we could do was to leave the Dunmore in their charge." New York Sun. Give Dn Graves Tooth Powder ine trial and you will use no other, .lakes yellow teeth white, clean ind beautiful.
