VIRGINIA WILL 4 COAX MORGAN 4 i 1 Diplomacy to B3 Used InEffori . to Get Famous Will. FINANCIER HOLDS DOCUMENT Lost Testament of Martha Washington May Yet Causa Legal Battle, How vor Governor Stuart Writei to ; Morgan Requesting Return of Paper. Ample Funds to Carry on Fight. Richmond, Va. Members of the Daughters of the American Revolution who bare been, deuinudlng from J. T. Morgan the return of the Martha Wash ington will, stoleu from the Fairfax County courthouse during the civil war and found in the private collection of the late J. r. Morgan, have decided to resort to diplomacy to retrain the treas ure Instead of appealing to the law through State Senator Thornton's bill. now a law, but held up temporarily. Governor Stuart will now shoulder the burden of reclaiming the will, en deavoring to do so by gentle persuasion tipon Mr. Morgan and the plea that his holding stolon property cannot reflect credit on him or his family, even though the property was taken during times of war and was therefore prlvl leped "loot- Governor Stuart has agreed to write Mr. Morgan a letter couched In the most diplomatic language possible ask ing for the return of the will. It Is believed here that Mr. Morgan will accede to the governor's request and return the will, thereby avoiding unpleasantness and the bother of a long and hard fought law suit. Should such a suit be brought efforts will be made by the Fairfax Daughters to learn just how Mr. Morgan's father got the valuable document in his pos session and the identity of the actual taker may be learned. The fight for the recovery of the will not only has the support of the na tional organization of the Daughters of the American Revolution, but of .Virginia patriotic societies. There will be no lack of money to push the case against Mr. Morgan ehould the matter finally be sent to the courts. The Martha Washington will contro versy has been attracting wide atten tion, since December, when It was pub lished that the will had been found In the Morgan collection. Demands were made on Mr. Morgan for return of the will, but without avail. To one re quest Mr. Morgan's secretary replied with the offer of a photographic re production, but ignored the demand for the original. MODERN WORLD'S WONDERS. Wireless and the Panama Canal the Greatest, Germans Think. Berlin. The Berliner Lokalanzeiger, the big popular daily which has Just passed out of the hands of its founder, August Scherl, into the control of a syndicate supposed to represent the kaiser's government, has been holding a symposium of its readers on the sev n modern wonders of the world. Prizes have been awarded to eight persons, who are agreed that the fol lowing are the seven chief wonders of the twentieth century: Wireless teleg raphy, the Panama canal, the dirigible airship, the flying machine, radium, the cinematograph and the Imperator. Wireless and the Panama canal were the favorites among the voters. "ENGLISH DEFORMS MOUTH." Asserts Users Look Liks "Measly Rab bits" Praises German. London. Lord Ashbourne, whose fa ther was a Tory lord chancellor of Ire land, but who himself is an advanced Nationalist and who always dresses In ancient Irish kilts, speaking at a re cent Gaelic league meeting, declared that the continuous speaking of Eng lish deformed the mouth. As a result, he said. Englishmen have thin, prominent lips, long front teeth and the general appearance of a measly rabbit The German lan guage Is strong and vigorous, but Eng lish is in a state of rottenness, weak ness, decay. AT NINETY-TWO SHE WEAVES. Mrs. Dikeman Begins Carpet For Pres ident Wilson. Lee, Mass-Mrs. Clara Dikeman of East Lee observed her ninety-second birthday by beginning a rag carpet she Intends as a gift to President and Mrs. Wilson. She had the warp all In and has begun hammering Into place the first rows of an elaborate "hit or miss" design. For fifty years she has been weaving on a hand loom, and her carpels have become celebrated. Summer residents buy ull her product. She says the car pet for the president will have thirteen colors, thirteen being his lucky num ber. Hen Puts Up Great Bluff. Mlchigunlowu. lud.

' rhlladolphla.-Kull rights of citizen ship for the American Indian were ad vocated at the council of the Society of American Indians, The speakers declared that admission to full citizen ship and the right of ownership rather than occupancy should be granted to the red man. Gabe E. Parlr, newly appointed register of the treasury, a Choctaw, declared that tho lndlau was In a peculiar position, being Independ ent in a tribal sense yet dependent In national relations. Mr. Parker said that there were 300,0(10 Indians iu tho United States and that 138,328 had citizenship rights. "Tribal life must be abandoned," be said, "before the Indian can become self supporting or a vital force In our national life. He must be recognized as a man of capabilities. He baa made great progress In adapting himself to the Itfe of the country. He hag suffer ed from the one fault of lack of self denial, but If the Indian bo given bis land with privileges and responsibili ties of proprietorship he would soon develop that quality.' BACHELOR READY TO WED FOR NEW LAW Klnkald of Nebraska Sets Chanter In Uproar, Washington. Representative Moses Klnkald of Nebraska, a bachelor, was greatly embarrassed recently In the house. Mr. Klnkald's bachelorhood has frequently been the subject of Jest among his colleagues, but he was near ly obliged this time to get married as a means of forcing through a bill In which he has a keen luterest Mr. Klnkald asked consideration for "a bill providing that the marriage of a homestead entryman to a homestead REPRESENT ATTVB KIKKAJD. entrywoman shall not Impair the right of either to a patent after compliance with the law for one year." Mr. Kinkaid declared that the pres ent laws are an Impediment to mar riage in the public land states and that this should be tolerated no longer. 'The gentleman from Nebraska has a good deal of nerve to call this bill up," suggested Representative Mann of Illinois. "He says It la against public policy to prevent marriage, while the gentleman all bis life has been pre venting one marriage that ought to take place." "I do not stand In the way of mar riage of worthy widows, widowers, bachelors or maidens," responded Mr. Klnkald. "I suggest an amendment including our Nebraska friend," observed Repre sentative Madden of Illinois. "I would be Included," said Mr. Kln kald smilingly. "We should like to help the gentle man get married," said Mr. Mann. The bill was passed. SPEAKS MANY LANGUAGES. Indian, Walking to Washington, Seeks Voting Privilege. Columbus, Ind.-Chlef White Cloud, who says be has recently been elected chief of 2,800 Dakota Indians, stopped here for a short rest while on his way to Washington to see President Wilson. The chief Is walking the entire -distance, and when be meets the presi dent be Intends to request the chief executive to do all be can to give the Indians a vote. Chief White Cloud calls attention to the fact that he is a Carlisle graduate, that he speaks twenty-three languages, nine of which are foreign tongues and the others Indian dialects; that he has taught school and Is now an Indian chief, but that he has no right to vote. Japan Completes Great Drydock, Tokyo. After eight years' work the biggest drydock In Japan lias been completed at the Maldzuzu naval sta tion on the western coast.

" I - J i - . , BOXERS ACTIVE THE GOUNTRYOVER Another long established practice at boxing shows, which bad Increased to such an exteut that It became a nuis ance, was legislated out by the New Vork state athletic commission at a weekly meeting. It Is the custom of Introducing numerous boxers from the ring previous to the start ot the main event. In some Instances the list of Introductions ran up to a dozen or more, and they occasioned much delay as well as weurluess to the spectators. The rule adopted by the commission provides that there shall be no Intro ductions from the ring except that re lating to the boxers who are to take part lu the next bout Another rule adopted by the commis sion was that no cases will be consid ered lu the future unless both parties to the Hgrveiueut In dispute have sign ed contracts. Fight fans are commenting on the effective showing Knockout Eggers is making lu his .bouts and predict great things for this scrappy lad, who has fought twelve battles since New Year's day without a defeat Ills next fight will be his thirteenth for 101-4. But F.ggers is not superstl- f ?- tV Photo by American Press Association. EXOCKOOT KOOF.II& tlous. "The No. 13 will be unlucky" sure," he says, "but the bad luck will be my opponent's and not mine." The fourth ussistant rubber at the Sharkey Athletic club in New York says, "Eggers Is the chloroform kid. because he puts people to sleep with either mitt" A statement from an au thority like that should prove conclu sive as to bis ability. Eggers is a bantam, and bis latest victory was over Kid Herman of I'e kin, lit Tbe British National Sporting club has received a dispatch from Jack Johnson. In Paris. In which he declines to fight Sam Latigfonl for $15,000. Tbe directors of the club will meet and may Increase the offer. "I'm willing to fight Langford," said Johnson, "but I will have to have a better offer than that made In London. 1 haven't much money left but the Britons can't tempt me with a cheap offer." Johnson has definitely declined an of fer to meet Gunboat Smith In a match on the Mexican border this summer. He will, however, meet Frank Mora a tbe American heavy, on tbe duy before the Grand Prix, as announced. Packey McFarland and Mike Gib bons will fight In New York March k There seems to be some hitch re garding the amount of money which tbe boxers are to receive for their ten rounds of work. McFarland, as usual, demands a very large sum. He wants a flat guarantee of $10,000. This tbe Garden A. C. is not willing to give. Tbe directors of the club say that Mc Farland should be willing to box on a percentage basis. This will probably be McFarland'l last Important battle before be retires from tbe game. For this reason men who are in touch with McFarland say that Is why the match with Gibbons is worth $10,000. Quite a number of wise ones profess tbe belief that McFarland will meet defeat for the first time In his twelve years In tbe ring, and be cause of this be Is anxious to obtain a "get away" stake proportionate with tbe loss of bis prestige as a boxer. Gibbons Is so confident of a decisive victory that be is willing to meet the Garden A. C. officials more than bait way regarding bis end of the gate re ceipts. Gibbons has conceded all ol McFarland's demands In reference tc the weight conditions and has agreed upon I 45 pounds at 4 o'clock on th flay of the battle. It does not follow that Dunfermline Is grossly ungrateful because Its taste In stained glass windows differs from that of Mr. Carnegie. It is entitled to its opinion, for It would have to look at tho windows twelve months In the year. "The contact of civilization." says General Scott, who wis sent to pacify the Arizona Indians who recently took to the warpath, "Is too hard for them: the Indian who In the main is reason it hie nnd well intcntloiied always gets the worst of It." This Is the complaint uf h great many palefaces also. mm I Lor the dick J for ihe tired tor the man or sedentary habits. ' W. J.
