LONDON, Dec. 1.—A curly headed
little boy waits at the austere portals
of the British House of Lords today to
learn whether he is the penniless
foundling of a San Francisco by-street
or heir to British estates and an
English country gentleman.
He is “Teddy” (Charles Eugene
Edward) Slingsby a bright young
California six-year-old who has been
buffeted about between $50,000 a year
and penniless nanielessness ever since
he came into the world September 1,
1-910.
Mr. 'and Mrs. Charles Henry Rey
nard Slingsby of San Francisco, who
claim to be Teddy’s father and moth
er, claim Teddy is entitled to the
Yorkshire estate of his alleged grand
father, the late Reverend Charles
Slingsby. Reverend Slingsby willed
his estate to “the first male heir”
born to any of his children.
The British court of probate and di
vorce on February 4, 1915 decreed
Teddy the true son and heir of Mr.
and Mrs. C. H. R. Slingsby. C. H.
R. Slingsby in 1900 married Mrs.
Dorothy Morgan Warner, a Kentucky
society widow.
C. H. R. Slingsby’s two younger
brothers, Thomas William and Alan
Peter Slingsby, respectively, had con
tested the claim of the C. H. R.
Slingsbys that Teddy was their son.
They claimed and made a long court
fight to prove that Teddy was the son
of Lillian Anderson, a San Francisco
I school girl; and was taken over by
the C. H. R. Slingsbys as their son
so he could claim the Yorkshire es
tate. They produced from a San
Francisco newspaper .what they
claimed was an advertisement placed
therein by Mrs. Slingsby advertising
I for a new-born baby.
When the probate and divorce court
: decided against the two brothers they
took their case to the court of ap
peals, which, on March 14, 191fi re
versed the P. & D. court and declared
Teddy not the son of the C. H. R.
Slingsbys and not entitled to the es
tate.
! Justice Bargrave Deane of the P.
I & D. had decided in favor of Teddy
largely because he had a peculiar
ly shaped jaw like his father’s and
an oddly formed ear, like his moth
er’s. The court of appeals evidently
did not think that way.
The C. H. R. Slingsbys then appeal
ed to the house of lords, which grant
ed a stay until today because of the
appellants’ lack of funds. The case
may possibly be further continued to
day, but it is likely the hearings will
proceed.
Meantime, Teddy waits, either
prince or pauper.
NOTE—Since the foregoing was
sent by mail the house of lords has
rendered a decision against the claims
of the claimant.
SEATTLE PAPER ADVISES
AMITY BETWEEN TOWNS
(Seward Gateway.)
SEATTLE, Dec. 9.—The Post-In
telligencer of this city this morning
editorially lectures Seward and An
chorage on their conduct and as to
how they should treat each other.
The editorial deals with the rivalry
between the two towns and the ques
tion as to the ultimate commercial
supremacy of either, and it urges the
rival cities to join in debate during
the quiet winter period so that they
will be ready for the big development
next spring. The P.-I. believes rapid
development certain and thinks it
possible that “the peninsula” will
have two commercial centers. A great
deal depends, says the Post-Intelli
gencer, on an aggressive and unselfish
public spirit in the citizens of the ri
val communities.
(The people here will fall on their
knees and give thanks to the Seattle
paper for them wise words, maybe.
That spirit city will never quit telling
us where to get off.)
FEDERAL INSPECTORS HELP
STATE MEN GRADE GRAIN
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. 1.—
Federal grain inspectors today took
their place shoulder to shoulder with
state grain inspectors, and watched
every car of incoming grain at Minne
apolis.
One of the arguments of recent po
litical agitators in the wave that
swept North Dakota was that grain
shipped to this market was improper
ly graded by state graders. The ad
dition of federal graders is construed
as a victory for the farmer politicians
of the I^kotas.
