Wlnans used to go to the beach at Fateman's point and fish. Then the child would scamper along the beach, d-mand of him that he put up his tackle and "play with her." and he nver failed to do so. no matter how good the fish were biting. Will Kail ef Harpriaes. Kven aside from this generous re membrance, the will t.f Ross Wlnans has caused many surprises in tnis City It had been believed that the old trouble between the father and his son. Thomas It. Wlnans, the trouble that m-as caused by the latter's marriage In Kurope to Victoria, lelgado. a Spanish dancer. whoe sister married the Rajah of Karpnthake. had been amicably set tled. But the will leave the son only the Income from 1300. 000 and that In trust. The executors. Rosa W. Whis tler, a brother-in-law of the decedent, and tieorge RevlNon. a step-brother of Mr. Wlnans' moihj-r, are to receive the residuary estate. After the death of the son the an nuity is to descend to his child. In no raw will any bequest accrue to the Spanish daughter-in-law. 5n-ln-l.nr ITInre fat Off. Another remarkable fact about the testament is that no mention is made of the I'rince le Barn et t'lialois. who married Miss Peatrlce Wlnans. Neither are the children of this couple men tioned. The I'rlncess died In 108. three years after her marriage, leaving two young children, and a will that gave her estate, valued at something more than 3U').00O. to her hnsband. Ross Wlnans combatted this will be fore the American courts. The Prince came over and testified. It was the contention of Mr. Wlnans that a part of hla daughter's estate should be In sured to her children. The Prince claimed absolute control of It and on. Family Life Clouded. The latter years of Mr. Wlnans were clouded by many famfly afflictions. It was in a single year 190i that Bis son's elopement and the- deaths of bis beloved wife and Ms titled daughter occurred. The aging man brought home his dead child and wife from Europe and straightaway went Into seclusion In his Baltimore mansion. He saw almost no one. never visited public places and seldom attended even the smallest gathering of the most intimate friends.

CASE SENT BACK TO TRIAL Son of Dead Leader Loses right to Have Residuary Clause of Tes tament Declared Invalid by Court. CONCORD. N. H May 7. The clause of the will of Mr Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder of the Christian Science Church, bequeathing the residue of her estate, valued at about 12,000.000. to the First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston, creates a "valid trust." in the opinion of the Supreme Court of New Hampshire, announced today. The court holds that the "residuary clause Is not a gift to a church, but a gift for religious purposes, sustainable as a charitable trust." The court's decision was given In the bill in equity brought by George W. Glover, of Lead. S. D Mrs. Eddy's son. In the Merrimack County Superior Court to have the residuary clause de clared Invalid on the ground that it violated a New Hampshire statute lim iting the amount which can be be queathed to any single church Glover sought. In case the residuary clause should be declared Invalid, to have the residue divided between him self and Dr. Ebenexer J. Foster-Eddy, of Waterbury, VL, Mrs. F.ddy's adopted son. as the next of kin. The case must now be tried In the Superior Court. In its opinion the court holds that the sole request of the plaintiff is for ad vice aa to his rights. An amendment may be filed by the plaintiffs, according to the decision, since, should they be able to show that the bequest is for the pecuniary pri vate profit of the church, the trust would be voided.

MARYLAND SITUATION MIXED Taft Men, Instructed for Roosevelt, May Be Outcome. BALTIMORE. May 7. The closeness of the struggle between President Taft and Colonel Theodore Roosevelt for control of Maryland's .16 votes In the National Republican "convention was emphasized today, when complete re turns from yesterday's primaries showed that the results depended on one county, which on the face of the returns gave Roosevelt a majority of 80. Putting this county (Howard) In tho Roosevelt column gave the Colonel 68 delegates to the state convention, one more than a majority. The three How ard County delegates counted for Taft would give him the primary victory by the same margin. Taft Leaders Hold to Hope. Complete unofficial returns received today by the state Roosevelt commit tee and all the Baltimore newspapers agreed In giving Colonel Roosevelt a majority in Howard County of 80-odd votes, but Taft leaders were unwilling tonight to concede that their opponent had won. "It would be improper for me to con cede anything at this time, when Maryland's IS votes to the National convention hang on less than 100 votes." said John B. Hanna, chairman of the Republican state committee and leader of the Taft forces. Another feature of the day was the development of the possibility that the Individual delegates elected to the state convention would Include a ma jority of Taft men. even though their Instructions by the county preference vote might bind them to vote for a Roosevelt delegation to the convention. The Taft leaders made this claim. Friends May Be In Control. It was pointed out that President Taft's friends might control the con vention, force the adoption of a con servative platform and send to Chicago a delegation which would be ready to abandon Roosevelt as soon as they considered they had fulfilled their le gal duties by voting for blm on the first ballot. None of the leaders, how ever, made such prophecies. Director McKlnley, of President Taft's campaign. Issued a statement today, which said: "Under the rules and regulations of the Republican party, as announced by the Republican National committee. President Taft Is entitled to and will SEA-SHORE SPECIAL SATURDAY First Real Touch of Spring Spend the Week -End at "Gearhart-by-the-Sea" lfsre , Portland 2 P. M. Satur day. Arrive Tienr hart Si20 r.

Tickets for Sale at North Bank Ticket Offices and by 100 Fourth Street receive four of the IS votes from Maryland in the National convention." Committee Haa Fixed Rul. Mr. McKlnley explained that the call of the Republican National committee issued last December provided rules under which delegates should be chos en, containing a clause that "in no state shall an election be so held as to prevent the delegates from any Con gressional district and their alternates being selected by the Republican elec tors of that district." 'On the strength of this rule and in view of returns from the First and Fifth Maryland districts. Mr. McKin ley said that four of Maryland's dele gates would go to President Taft. Replying to this statement. Colonel K. Carrlngton. chairman of the Roose velt committee, said: "The call of the National convention must be subject to the law of Mary land, which provides that a majority of votes in the state convention en titles the candidate having such ma jority to the entire 18 delegates from Maryland." No change developed in the Demo cratic situation, except to Insure for Speaker Clark several delegates al ready counted for him on the strength of the indicated county majorities. The Clark men have enough votes to con trol the state convention. The county preferential vote bound 81 delegates to Clark. 44 to Wilson and 4 to Harmon. VXDERWOOD IS IX EARNEST Candidate Denies He Is In Race In Harmon's Interest. WASHINGTON, May 7. Oscar W. Underwood, of Alabama, the majority leader of the House, today declared that his Presidential candidacy was not in tho Interest of Governor Harmon or arnr candidate other than himself. This was In reply to a statement of William J. Bryan, in a speech at Chilli cothe, Ohio, last night, that he had heard that the Underwood delegates chosen In Georgia and Florida were in reality Harmon men. "It is Impossible for a man in public life." said Mr. Underwood, "to keep up with all the misrepresentations made about him, but I wish to say that there is no warrant In fact for the statement made by Mr. Bryan. I am making the race for the Presidential nomination with the honest endeavor to secure it for myself and my candidacy Is not and never has been in the interest of Judge Harmon or any other candidate, "Georgia, Florida and Alabama de clared for me In a Presidential primary election and tills was the expression of the desire of thousands of honest voters at the polls for me and not for any other man.
