This, the lawyers claim, is the \Gingseng King,\ handed down yesterday, Judge Mills disposes of the matter as follows: Neither was the decedent's failure to make provision for relatives in it- self any evidence of montal incapa- city or unsoundness of mind, even though the testator and such rela- tives may be on the most friendly terms; much\less if they are on un- friendly terms.

But whether or not he exercised I good juagment or had a good or suf. | ficient reason for ignoring, some of his relatives is not the question.

New Haven, Conn., Jan. 20 -The | program of the stay. of President | Taft at Yale tofilay included attend- | ance at the meeting of the Yale cor»- | poration, of which he is a member, in the forenoon, and luncheon with President Hadley of the university later. At the corporation meeting | was submitted a report of the Yale expedition to Peru, headed by Pro- | fessor Hiram Bingham in which were made known for the first time some remarkable discoveries. It is stated that no scientific expedition in recent | years has-garnered so much that is | of interest to the scientific world. : Chief among 'the results was the finding for the first time of bones of .the pre-historic man, of the age be- 'fore the glacial period. An estimate of the age of the bones is not less than ten thousand years. . Several . archaeological discoveries made by. Professor Bingham included ruins of several Inca, or pre-Inca cities, and traces of a highly civilized people earlier than the Incas. Another dis- covery was that of the bones of the American bison which scientists nev- er before had known to exist in South America. The limits of past: glacialion and the present level of. perpetual snow in the Andes was de- termed. Clear geologic evidence of ' past climatic changes were’tound, es- | pecially in deengpewof the Core | dillera and in the deserts of the-coast : regions Evidence was found tending . to | : show that the great coast terraces. bave had not a single geologic his- tory as had been supposed, but a complex history including a sub- . mergence in the territory period and a stripping which is still in progress.
