THE sARRANrE WILL.

II Il to be Made tho Subject OF Con-
test.
A will contest was begun yesterday in
the superior court which ia.likely to
lead to some sensational testimony when
it reaches hearing.
The preliminary papers were fled in
the county clerks Office yesterday on
behalf OF Mrs. Guisseppa Sarrante, the
widow of Charles Sarrante, who died in
this city July 9th.
A petition for the probate OF the will
OF the deceased has already been filed
by Leon Loeb and Fernend de Foresta,
who are named as executors in the
will.
Mrs. Sarrante contests the probate OF
the will under the petition of the execu-
tors, and makes some very serious
charges.
The deceased was SO years old at the
time OF his death, and left real and per-
sonal property valued at $11, 900.
Fernand de Foresta was formerly his
agent, and Mrs. Sarrante accuses him Of
the boldest kind OF fraud in getting Mr..
Serrante to draw the will before. his
death.
She alleges that for some time before
her husbands death he was sick and
was not in condition to execute will.
Under these circumstances she claims
that Foresta deliberately set about pro-
curing the execution of will in which
she should be left out of any share in
the estate.
She asserts that Foresta acquired alb
aolute control over the weak old man
and prevented her from seeing her hus-
band during his last illness. She claims
that be procured Loeb to assist him in
the conspiracy that they were the wit
nesses to the signature of the will by
Mr.. Sarrante. 1t was written in the
English language, and Loeb read it to
him in French. She alleges that it was
not legally executed. signed or wit.
messed. and that the witnesses were
directly interested in its contents, being
named as executors.
She says that her husband at all
times before his death, until Foresta
acquired control Of him, expressed his
desire that his wife should have his
property.
1t is further alleged that Foresta on
July Sd Dragged that he would not per-
NIT Mr.. Ssrrante to leave his property
to his wife, but would see that it went
to relatives in France.
The only relative OF her husband
known by Mrs. Sarrspte ia Amand Pey-
reguey, who lives in Longon, France
Under all these circumstances Mrs. Sar-
rante petitions that the probate of the
will be denied, and that she be ap-
pcsnted administratrix Of the estate.

somewhat the worst Of it in his decision
on balls and strikes. But that made no
difference, anyhow, as the Angels could
do little or nothing with him when hits
were needed. Besides, the visitors
played rocky fielding game. The score

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Legislation Recommended by the
Commission in Its Annual Report.

The annual report Of the interstate COM
merce commission recommends the follow
ing additional interstate commerce iegisia-
ton:
To give legislative construction to the
word line in the statute
To provide for establishing through rates
and joint through rates.
To give the commission power to pre-
scribe minimum well as maximum rates
to competitive points.
To provide for the adoption Of a uniform
freight classification,
To make corporations subject to the act
liable to indictment for violations of the
law, and to provide a penalty for failure
on the part of carriers to file their annual
reports within a specified time
In regard to the long and short haul
clause the report says: This provision of
the law is nothing more than an extern
sion to places of the rule forbidding un-
Just discrimination between persons The
operation OF the provision was accepted
generally by the carriers. But the eff
iect OF a decision of the court of appeals
| IN an Iowa case, wherein the word line
| IN the statute was given wholly different
meaning from that which the commits
son had held was the proper construc-
| ton, has been startling. This court deci-
sion has been followed and expanded nv
other courts. These decisions held in eff
rect that one railroad is a line and that
Ihe same ana another railroad is a diff
ferent line, and that three railroads are
stlll another line, and so on and that
rates on one line are not to be comma red
N1th rates on another. The commission
| holds that the word Zine" means a nhvs-
| fcal ine-the tracks of one or more rail
roads-and that a line NAV be evtenSad
over other roads by simply connecting The
/ tracks. 'he
| The court construction saws the lines

The New NorL's Trfal

There has been a change of program re-
specting the trial of the New York, based
on reports from contractors that the vessel
could not be made fully ready for trial by
the time last set So the date for the trial
was placed as it stood originally, December
H. Meanwhile the trial board will en-
deavor to run off the speed trial of the
cruiser Marblehead, probably about the
middle of next week. AS soon as the re-
pairs to the New York are completed she
will be placed in the Brooklyn dry dock
and cleaned and painted. 1t has been found
by careful measurements that at full tide
the vessel may get into the dock but
the margin will be very narrow as there
VIII be but four inches of water between
the ships bottom and the sill Of the deck.
