DECIDED IN FAVOR OF HENRY GEORGE.


Trenton, Nov. 10 SpeciaD.-A decision was rendered
by Chief Justice Beasly in the Court OF Errors and
Appeals to-day in the matter Of the will Of George
Huchins, the Waterford Spi1ualist who died several
years ago leaving nearly all his estate valued at
between 10000 and 100000, TO Henry George for
the dissemination Of the latters works, eSpec tally
Progress and Poverty" Hutchins's widow filed a
bill in chancery 10 prevent the execution Of the trust
Mr. George fought the vigorously but Nice-Chan-
cellor Bird decided against him. The Vice Chancellor
took the ground that while man had the right, as
claimed to dispose Of his property a. he pleased, he
only had that right during his life. After his death
he could only create trust 10 accomplish such a
purpose. Such trust would be under the immediate
control Of a court and court would permit book
setting at defiance the existing laws 10 be circulated
under its jurisdiction and scrutiny. Poverty ana
Progress was a book Of this class and consequently
came under the law. This decision was appealed
from and the Chief Justice to-day decided that Mt
Georges writings do not come under the provision
Of the law said he: Sc Mr. Georges writings wer,
intended 10 cause the repeal of the land laws and
to substitute different system. Such an endeavor Is
not opposed to the law for II IS simply prODositon
to alter the law according 20 the law"

REFORMING SOME ABUSES.
PASSENGER COMMISSIONS ABOLISHED.
TRUNK LINE PRESIDENTS AT WORKMAN AD'

rpuxK LINE PRESIDENTS AT WORKMAN AID.
VANCE IN CORN RATES POSTPONED.
Therr was a wellattended conference Of the trunk
line presidents yesterday. The Grand Trunk Of Can
ada was represented as usual by General Manager
Joseph H,ckson the Erie by Vice President FELTON, and
Traffic Manager valiant, and the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western by Traffic Manager Hegeman. Inc
other roads sent their chief executive Officers ca
ceptipg the Reading which had representation save
through the acting Commissioner. Numerous vice
presidents and general passenger agents were p'csen
10 assist their chiefs.
large part of the time was consumed in discussing
passenger abuses which of late have auanieo
serious growth. 1t voted to abolish all passenger
commissions whether In the shape of rebates or other
wise and each president pledged himsen uioroushiS
70 investigate the condition Of anars IN he passenger
department of his company, ana enect al necessary
,eforms AT an early date conferences VIII Dc ar
ranged with the presidents OF the roads IN tho central
Tr.s9c and m. New-England Associations. for the
purpose of securing an ABOLITION OF ABUSES among tne
connections of the trunk iines
bs nresidents also touched upon the question OF tho
sh.n6onment of private cars used by shippers CT
drcssed beef and live stock. resolution already
exists forbiddipg their use, and for some time a
controversy has prevailed between the NewYorR
Central and fhe Grand Trunk respecting private
received by the latter from Northwestern connections
Under circumstances which might technically
Canadian road but which the Central has asserted
were not sufficient 10 warrant disregard of the
spirit of the presidents agreement. 1t was de
veIoped in yesterdays discussion that some of the
roads in the Genital Traffic Association guilty
of the forbidden practice, and action was deferred
until conference of the Western and Eastern lines
could be held.
The most important topic before the presidents
probably was that Of an advance in the eaSt-bound
rates The rate now IS 90 cents per hundred
pounds from Chicago, or 5 cents under the regular
grain tariff. The Grand Trunk alone maintains a
25 cent rate corn, but it is insisting on a new
basis for all grain and grain products. The Balti-
and Ohio processes its inability 10 advance the
corn rate to the Chicago 20 cents basis, but il is
willing 10 accept basis Of % 1-c cents. The Penn
sylvania claims the privilege of meeting Baltimore
and Ohio competition, and other roads wish fuli
advance none. The subject was vanly wrestled
with. and finally the Executive Committee OF the
vice pre- sdsnts were instructed TO take the matter
up and secure an advance on corn at as carly date
as possible ~, -, H..
tion was not without for friction, the concord
of the trunk lines undisturbcd, and that the
questions in dispute approached with a less
jelligerent spirit than formerly prevailed.
