His decision will determine the chorus-girl wife of Dr. yuuth, or the wife of his more years, will receive the property. First Wife Brought Sul-. The suigf heard by Judge Foster was brought by Mrs. Rose Hughes of Hart- ford, Conn., and her three children, contesting the right of Mrs. Minnie Hughes of St. Louis to inherit the es- tate under the will, which left all the property to the St. Louis wife, not men- tioning the first wife or, her, children. Mrs. -Rose Hughes made her fight in court on the ground that her husband did not have the legal right to marry his second wife, as he had never pro- cured a divorce from her. Mrs. Minnie Hughes-was not in, court during the trial of the case, her testi- mony having been taken in a deposi- tion, in which she stated that her hus band had told her he had been married before, but had been divorced from his first wife.

MEET FOR CONVENTION

Governor’s Friends Will Fight Hard to Send Him to Denver. From a Staff Correspondent to the Post-Dispatch, JEFFERSON CITY, May 19.—Less than one hundred of the 989 delegates se- lected to participate in the Democratic State convention here Wednesday to choose delegates to the national conven- tion at Denver had arrived today. This is the only convention the party wil. hold in the State this vear. A new national committeeman will be élected Missouri has 36 votes in the national convention, or four delegates at large and two from each of the 16 congres- sional districts. All of them are for Bryan, and the convention ig unani- mous in his favor, with no suggestion or possibility of a: second choice at this time. David R. Francis is being discussed for nation 1l committeeman by some of the. up-State Democrats. an Men for Francis. The Bryan men are seconding the Francis movement, although the 172 delegates from St. Louis are not respon- sive to it. Francis is thought -to be too friendly to Hawes, and the Daley- Miles-Kinney combination are against him chiefly on that account. W. A. Rothwell, present committee- | man, wants to succeed himself, and Col. Moses C. Wetmore also is seeking the job. The Colon! assured the Post- Dispatch correspondent today that ‘‘ev- erything looks bright for*® Wetmore.” The few leaders who are here have no definite plan for the convention. Both the Stone and Folk forces are carrying chips on their shoulders and are. wil!- ing to fight if anybody desires trouble. That Gov. Folk and Senator Stone will be two of the four delegates. at Jarge is generally predicted wap, Stone was the busiest:-mah. arpund the Madison House today, Next in point of activity is Sam. Cook’ Stone's first lieutenant. é Harry B. Hawes, another faithful Stone worker, is on the ground, but for the first time since he looked up in politics vears ago, ‘he, has beep de- prived of delegate ‘credentials. ’ aes, Deep Water. —' , |. Hawes says he came to boom the deep waterway movement, not. to mo- est his victorious opponents, Sénator Kinney, ‘Jimmy’ Miles and. Lawler Daley. - ; Gov. Folk did not appear at -the hotel. but he met those of his friends who are in tuwn at the mansion. In the make-up of the convention the partisars of both Folk and Stone are pretty well represented. The situation is not unlike that of two years ago 10 advance of the State Convention. Tae Grst day it looked as though Folk had no friends in the convention, hut when the delegates were all in the'r seats it leveloped that the Folk following was large enough to easily and conveniently do anything that suited its fancy, from seating contested delegates to electing the State chairman. History {!s apt to repeat itself here tomorrow, and ff it does Folk end Con- gressman Champ Clark will be two of the delegates, Stone will be a third and) some anti+-Folk man will get the fourth place. It may go to. an attorney of the Metropolitan Street Co. of Kantag. City. Morton Jourdan, atterney for the .. em St. Louis uillity corporations,.except the telephone companies; Col. “Bill” Phelps of the Missouri Pacific, and other stgict- ly corporation Democrats have |. been working quietly among the deiegates since their arrival yesterday. Insurance Superintendent ~ Vandiver, ’ who is managing the Folk forces, de- clared this afternoon. that any effort on the part of the Stone men to side-' track Gov. Folk as a. delegate-at-large would precipitate trouble. Vandiver as- sefts Folk will be one of the “Big Four,’ regardless of whether Stone him-: self wishes to attend the national con- vention. There is pronounced sentiment for Vandiver for national committeeman. Fe can be elected easily if the Folk ren control the eeperere. DALEY DICTATES ALL DELEGATIONS IN pITY That Lawrence P. .(Lawler) Daley, chairman of the Democratic City Cen- tral Committee, will control the St. Lou's end of the State Convention at City Wednesday, was shown by the ease with which delegations chosen by him were elected in all the wards at Tuesday’s mass conventions. The Hawes City Hall faction took lit- tle part In the meetings. They content: ed themselves with threatening to have the Daley delegations thrown out on the floor of the convention.. Daley says the law was complied with in every ‘particular and Ms laughs at thé threat. It is said on 100 of the 20. Daléy will go to the conven-

East Side Station Crowd . eAlarmed. While. a woman was standing near the door of the Interurban railroad sta- tion in East St. Louis Tuesday the bird 01 her hat began to'sing. Clear and sweet its notes sounded above the hum of traffic. The startled }| wearer of the hat put up her hand and; touched the bird. Instantly its voice was stilled, but another bird on another’ woman’s hat*took up the burden of the! song. Unmistakably the clear -sharp trills came from the millinery edorn-' ment of a fair passenger who was buy- ing a ticket at the window. The bird gave no other sign of lite. It was just a little stuffed oriole with beads for eyes. But bow it did sing! Dog Fight Comes Nest. -Of a sudden attention was attracted from the bird: by the noise of a terrific dog fight across the street. Women scurried into doorways for safety and’ men went in search of the battling dogs. From the directia of the snaris and: yelps and angry btatks tney seemeéd to be in an alley near Third street and Broadway, the busiest corner in East St. Louis. Finally, with one despairing ery, one of the dogs seemed to give up the fight and the ether bayed i® tr} umph? Then something else started. A had a fit in the Dlinevis Praction Co.'s office. Nobody saw it, but it made all of the noisc that goes with a genuine cat fit. Apparently the animal was un- der one of the benches in the waiting room. Ten women were in the room when the fit started. They weren’t there a min- ute later. Screarhing, they rushed into the street. The cat became quiet. Hears Srw and Hammer. Then somebody started to build an ad- dition to a lunchstand on the corner From the rear of the little box-like building came the sound of saws and hammers.. The lunchman didn’t know any building was to be done and he ra: around to see what was going on. The carpenters must have scampered away, i for théy Were -not - there. A donkey: stuck his head into a cigar store and brayed lustily. That is, no- body saw htm do it, but they heard him. When the cigar man ran out to scare him away he was gone. Things Were happening thick and fast when Patrolman McHenry hove in sight. , ee | He looked -about. him. Across’ the street in the warm sun an old white- haired negro was freaning against a telegraph pole. His eyes were half- closed as he lazily watched the pass- ing slow. 4 McHenry rushed across and grabbed him. “Up to your old tricks again, are you, Uncle Albert?” he said. Albert Jones, 75 years old and very black, meekly and uncomplainingly ac- companied McHenry to the station. The. strango noises ceased. “Ah jes cain’t help ventrillyquisin’ when Ah drinks a little gin,’’ said Uncle Albert to the desk sergeant.

Saencive of a Bigger Navy Calls ‘on the President After West- ern Trip. WASHINGTON, May 19.—Swan- shaped battleships’’ is the new slogan of Capt. Richmond P. Hobson, cham- pion of a bigger navy, who has just re- turned from a study of navy sentiment throughout the West and who called on the President today. ; “Look out for next year,’ said Capt Hobson as he left the White House. ‘I found the people two to one in favor of four battleships instead-of two. There Will be something doing next winter. “We will provide for 30,000-ton ships to outdo the Dreadnaughts that Europe is building to outdo our 20,000-ton ships. “They will have to be shaped like swans in order that they may enter our harbors. In this way, by spreading them out, we can keep their draft at about twenty-nine feet.’ A 30,000-ton ship will be one-third big- ger than Engiand’s Dreadnaught and than the North Dakota and Delaware, which now are building in this country.
