CONTEST OVER COUNT'S WILL
Legal Dispute Arises on the Benefac
tions of Creighton.
SEVEN HEIRS ASK MORE LIGIIT
Those Kot Mentioned In the Testa
ment rile Petition 1st Cenrt '
for Construction of ths
Deenment.
The contest over the benefactions In the
John A. Creighton will will be started In
county court Wednesday, when W. H. De
Frsnce, representing seven heirs not men
tioned In the will, will file a petition ask
ing for the construction of the document.
The other heirs snd the executors are ex
pected to file similar petitions within s few
days, and the question then will be before
the court. It Is probable a hearing cannot
be had before November.
The bequests of SMO.000 to St. Joseph hos
pital, of $50,000 to the House of the Good
Shepherd, of $50.ono to the Little Bisters of
the Poor snd $50,000 for the estsbllshment
of a working girls home, will be attacked
In the petition to be filed Wednesday, and
It Is expected the Creighton university be
quest will be assailed In a subsequent pe
tition to be filed by some of the heirs
named in the will.
The court slso, will be asked to construe
the thirteenth clause of the will, which
provides the residue of the estate shall be
divided sniong the beneficiaries In the pro
portion of the benefactions awarded by the
will. It Is saserted by the heirs that a
proper construction of this clause would
leave an undlvised resldlum to be divided
among the heirs, while the Institutions
receiving gifts contend that under It ths
entire estate not specifically devised should
be divided up among the beneficiaries.
Groand of Attnck.
The attack on the St. Joseph hospital
benefaction will be based on the ground
that when the will was made and at the
time of Count Crelghton's death the laws
of Nebraska provided organisations char
tered as charitable Institutions may not
hold more than $100,000 worth of property.
At the time of Count Crelghton's death 8t.
Joseph's hospltsl held property far In ex
cess of this amount and the heirs contend
It could not receive the benefaction. The
law has since been changed, but the heirs
contend the old law will govern. It is
doubtful whether the heirs can raise this
question or not, or whether the state Is
the only party that could protest against
the reception of the gift. This mooted point
will be threshed out in court. The same
objection will be made to the bequest of
$60,000 to the House of the Good Shepherd,
the same conditions applying.
Ths gift of $50,800 to the Little Sisters of
the Poor will be attacked because of the
language of the clause In which It Is made.
The will provides the gift shall bs made
by the executors when the society shsll be
established In Omaha.- The heirs contend
under sn - old English law a benefaction
which has no time limit within which it
shall be paid or which Is not required to
be paid within the life of some living per
son .is void and csnnot be paid. . It Is con
tended the benefsction to the Working
Girls' Horns 1 void for Indeflniteness. Ths
wilt provided thst $60,000 bn owt; aside for
the establishment of a working irfrls" home,
but. did not provide snd plsn -for ths or
ganisation of. the home nor appoint sny
person to formulats a plan..- It Is con
tended the wording of the clauss la so In
definite as to be void.
Attack on University.
Mr. De Frsnce, who' represents the six
McCreary heirs snd Mrs. Shelby will not
sttack the Crelghjton university benefaction,
but it is understood other heirs will. The
ground for the attack will be that Count
Creighton Intended that gifts made to the
university after the drawing of the will
should be deducted from the benefsctlon In
the will. An sttempt will be made to show
that he told various persons this was his
Intention snd that he had taken the will
out of his strong box before his desth to
change It. but was not able to do so. The
benefactions since the date of the wilt, it
is said, will practically cover the amount
given to the university in the will, and if
this Interpretstion is sustained the institu
tion would be cut off with a very small
benefaction or none at all. General Cowln,
who represents six of the fifteen heirs,
says he does not know whether this ques
tion wlU be raised or not, but he admitted
It had been talked of. He said he would
not file a' petition for his clients until he
found what the others were going to do.
Conrt Roles on Leave to Bell.
Judge Leslie Mondsy ruled on the applica
tion of the executors for leave to sell stocks
and bonds In the estste without first secur
ing specific, orders of the court. Judge
Lsslls granted the desired permission with
respect to all stock except those of the
Creighton Real Estate company, the First
Nstlonsl bank, the United States National
bank and the South Omha National bank.
The remaining stocks being of more or less
fluctuating value may be sold by ths ex
ecutors when In their judgment it Is to the
best Interest of the estate to do so.
At the hearing Monday all claims were
allowed except two. One of these wss s
small one for $15 snd the other wss filed
by John J O'Conner for $2,000 for attorney
fees. These were held pending further In
vestlgstion. MOTOR BOAT'S FAST TRIP

SENATOR PLATT ON POLITICS
Ho Says nepohlleen Delegation from
New York Will Be for n
New Yorker.
NEW TORK, Sept. 2S. Senator Thomas
C. Piatt, rejuvenated, he says, and better
fitted for hard work st Washington than
for some time before, talked politics today
with something of his old-time enthusiasm.
"If my legs were ss strong as my mind,"
he said, "I would get back into the po
litical harness without delay'. As It Is I
shall stay here until December and then
go to Washington to resums my duties
In the senate. I like the senate and I am
looking forward to a pleasant service dur
ing the rest of my term In thst great
body." '
"Who will get the New Tork delegation
In the next republican national conven
tion?" Senator Piatt 'was asked.
"It won't be Roosevelt snd It may not
be Hughes." he replied. "The president
does not want it. Tho governor is shrewd
enough to know thst the slightest move
on his part to take the delegation would
be fatal to his aspirations. He msy. con
vince the republican voters that thev can
not do without him. .,
"President Roosevelt cannot go back on
his word. He could not do so even If he
were so Inclined, snd I belitfve him to
be fully in earnest In his determination
to retire. v . ..
"The republican "party of New York has
other material besides Hughes and Roose
velt. There Is Tlthu Root for Instance.
Before an Ohloan Or any other outsider
velt. There la, Ellhu Root, for instance,
considered. New York csnnot be delivered
to sn outsider as easily as some folks
seem to think lt-rn be."
Senator Piatt does not believe that Gov
ernor Hughes could be persuaded to take
second place on the-rtcket.'
"I don't know Hughes very1 well," he
said. "But-my judgment is thst he could
not be forced, as Roosevelt wss. He is
one of the top-notcRers among the. poli
ticians of the day1. He is building up a
machine along new Wnes that will be pow
erful and effective.'.! - .
SECOND EXAMINER IS. NEEDED
Mlssonrl Conrt to Name One to Have
Supervision Exclusively - of
Railroad nates.
NEW YORK, Sept. 30. Another ex
aminer in the suit to dissolve the Standard
OH corporation will, It is announced, be ap
pointed in a few duys by the MIsslourl
court to sit with Examiner Ferris. The
duties of this sddltional examiner will be
to listen to testimony relating only to rail
road rates on oil and rebates, which arc
alleged to have been granted to the Stand
ard during its fight against independent
oil operators. The two examiners will sit
together at every session of the hearings
after the question of rates and rebates Is
taken up, owing to the fact that much of
the testimony will necessarily be frag
mentary, na evidence on both the rate
and trust question will be placed upon the
records during the same day. .
The hearings here will probably last at
least two and possible three more weeks.
Testimony will also be taken In Wash
ington, Cleveland, Chicago and St. Louis.
This shifting is matte necessary by the
fact that the government subpoenas can
only compel witnesses to travel 100 miles
to attend the hearings.
TRAVELERS REVEL IN GREEN
King Edward Bets Fashion for
Europeans and Americans
Follow Bnlt.
NEW YORK, Sept. 80. Green hats, such
ss King Edward woro during his visit to
the continent recently, are now In vogue
with certain returning American tourtats.
Several voyagers on recently srlved steam
ers rejoicing in them snd soms completed
the color scheme by wearing ties and scarfs
of the same shade.
The fsshlon, ths returning travelers say,
im nreadlna- over Europe. The headgear Is
I shaped on the Alptne model. The ribbon of
! .r..n uhirh adorns It Is wide and ends In
a fluffy flourish. New York hatters de
clare they are not disturbed over the in
novation and say that It is not likely to

CUBAN SITUATION NOT BAD
Combination of Circumstances Makes
it Seem to Be So. -
YELLOW 'FEVEK UNDER CONTROL
Bandits Making Trontile Are Small
Compnay of Guerillas JIa
goon 'Will fse Strong
Arm,
HAVANA. Cuba. Sept 80. The small
bsnd of rebels which has been traversing
the country In the vicinity of Mayari, In
the northern seatton of Santiago province,
has. according to late dlspatohes, sgaln ex
changed shots with the pursuing ni rales.
The latter are close on ths heels of the
bandits.
While there are signs of unrest In vsrl
ous parts of ths Island, the opinion prevails
here thst no serious disturbance Is likely.
In commenting on the situation the Diarlo
de La Marina says a comblnstion of un
pleasant circumstances hsving no link one
with the other sppears to maks the situa
tion at first sight more serious than It
really is. Each one of the problems that
at present confront the administration the
yellow fever epidemic, the conspiracy of
Parrs, Mlret and Ducassl, the existence of
bands of outlaws In the country snd Uie
railway strike is of an alarming character,
but, except for the tendency ofthe strike
to become genersl snd stop railway com
munlctalon throughout the Islatid, these
events are of no great Importance In them
selves. The yellow fever has not spread snd
there sppears no danger of a general epi
demic, as esses are comparatively few up
to the present time. The conspiracy was a
very ridiculous one, snd even If It had
succeeded In Inducing some fools to take
the field It would have been nipped in the
bud. i
The Mayan says the outlaws cannot be
considered of more importance than many
other previous bunds of guerillas who have
occasionally appeared In Cuba.
There Is no reason, therefore, for ex
traordinary alarm or for believing Cuba Is
on the brink of sn sbyss.
Even the strikers have not ss yet com
mitted any act of violence. If their dis
agreement with the companies Is not set
tled other men will be found shortly to
run the trains. In this case any attempts
on the part of the strikers to resort to
force will be prevented snd punished sc
cordlng to law. The situation for all these
reasons Is not so grave and the govern
ment has ample" means to cope with It.
Clenfugoes may soon become a trouble
sone. The waiters there sre on strike and
others plan to strike soon. It Is reported
also that political trouble Is coming In that
vicinity, where conspirators hsvs been
active. ,
Mont people think thst the railroad and
other strikes offer more prospects of serious
trouble than . the threatened revolution.
The- lighter men of Havana harbor will
probably strike today snd the stevedores In
a few days.
Governor Msgoon has determined to deal
with outlaws and Insurrectionists with a
strong hand. The ox?ers of the rursles. It
Is stated, sre tCcapttlte, kill or drive them
Into the ocean. '-' 'J' :
WASHINGTON. Sept. SOi-The rsllwsy
strikers in Cuba have declared that the
movement' Inaugurated by them shsll not
Interfere with the movement of the mall, so
far as they are concerned. This Is the at
titude ascribed to them in s dispatch re
ceived at the War department from Gov
ernor Magoon.
CONSTRUdTIONJJF A STATUTE
Attorneys for Wisconsin Men

In Conrt.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 30. Insisting
that only the strict construction of a
criminal statute Is permissible and that
the Indictment charging his clients with
conspiracy to defraud the government must
allege transactions sufficient In themselves
to constitute a fraud. Attorney Hugh Ryan
began his argument before United States
Court Commissioner Bloodgood in favor of
the discharge of Ellas Arnold, I. J. Rosen
berg snd .Chsuncey Lloyd Jones, Indioted
In connection with the operations of the
Federal Coal and Iron company of Colo
rado. Mr. Ryan contended that the criminal
statutes cannot be extended by Intend
ments or construction. The crime charged
must, pome squarely within the language
of the statute before a court can hold thst
a crime has been charged.

There Is no king like Ak-Ssr-Ben.
Cheated out of his Joy by rsln through
the dsy, his heart was made glad when
the clouds broke last night, by a blc and
noisy celebration. His subjects played the
evening hours swsy on tho King's High
way. The famous King Do-Do would have been
In the bottom of the Missouri river with g
collection of millstones about his neck if
such weather had been dealt out to him
as Ak-fiar-Ben has experienced. But King .
Ak-Sar-Ben wss in his den Monday, and
when the weather man sent In his compli
ments and the vibrations from the obser
vation tower said "Wet Monday and wet
agalnl Tuesday," ths king smiled and re
gretted exceedingly much that Monday -was
South Omaha day.
Regardless of the fact that the Jubilee
of Ak-Sar-Ben was scheduled at a lime
When the equinoctial storms wre supposed
to be over, snd the eclipse of the moon
only considered of passing npment, rain
began descending during the erly hours of
Mondsy morning, and butrw visited ths
grounds until evening.
Samson explained ths, as ths rprlng
was late, It la possible tWs line wm the
storm winds descend on ths kingdom was
postponed and the dates jot hhTTublle con
flicted with thti,e of the powers which put
on the stormaof the equjnea.
Anyway the. king ral accepted the days
when the ambient sir Is saturated with
water and announces that fair weather is
coming, but he will' be willing to postpone
the parades each day should the sun stIU
be changing Us skin on Tuesday or
Wednesday.
Anto Parade Wednesday.
The automobile parade, which has besri
snnounced for Tuesday evening, will not
be seen until Wednesdsy evening, should
bad weather continue. Other parades will
then bo held one day later, the electric
pageant falling on Thursday evening and
the woman's float parade on Friday In
stead of on Thursday. The date of the
ball also will be postponed If necessary,
and It will be given Saturday evening.
There Is no possibility of the carnival
continuing a single hour sfter closing time
Saturday night. Samson ssys ths gates
will close Saturday evening regardless of
the weather, snd It Jhs frost Is jon the
pumpkin of the Douglas county fslr, snd
the wild woman wudes through a foot of
snow, the gates will close on time.
What Monday would have been to King
Ak-Sar-Ben Is a matter of conjecture.
South Omaha days have been a success In
the past and the attendance would doubt
less have been large had the general rain
not faded the colors snd caused brilliant
feathers to fall.
BUSIEST PLACE IS THE) DEI
Everybody Is Rushing to Get Ready
to Receive the King.
The busiest plscs In Omaha Is ths Ak-Sar-Ben
den. A small army of men Is at
work there. Some wield the hammer and
saw; others sre using axs and crowbar in
removing the Initiation paraphernalia to
maks room for the ball room; other skilled
artisans sre busy putting ths finishing
touches on ths most magnificent series of
floats whloh sver appeared to dassle ths
eyes of ths subjects of King Ak-Bar-Beo.
Though It Is prohibited by roysl edict to
describe the surpsssing splendor of these
beautiful creations In detail. It may be said
without danger of bringing ths neck of ths
scribe to the executioner's block thst the
floats which will pass along the streets on
Wednesday svening In all their . splendor
surpsss those of sny other year.
There are twenty of these floats Illus
trating "the days ws celebrate snd songs
we sing." They ore as follows:
Title float. ,;; :
New Year's dsy. '
Valentine day. T
Washington's birthday.
