by the full committee. Messrs Paschal of
Texas and Davey Of Louisiana then opposed
the bill. On the final vote the democrats
opposed the bill. and the republicans. except

from the muzzle, was as follows: Calling,
1892 feet seconds; Accles, 1852 feet sec
onds; Maxim 2,O19 feet seconds, and Gard
ner, 2,042 feet seconds. The guns were re-
moved to the navy yard and then began
the dust test. Each piece was taken of the
mount and lowered into wooden box.
which had an air pipe running in one side
near the bottom. and an escape pipe IN
serted at another end. A top was screwed
tightly on the box. AT one end of the top
was hole with funnel. At the word Of
command from Captain Sperry several
shovelfuls of sand were poured into the
funnel At the same moment the air valve
was opened and a miniature sand storm
was in progress for two minutes. This
operation was repeated on each gun. 100
rounds was then fired from each gun The
Calling fired her rounds in 49.1 seconds
without any trouble: the Accles lessened
the time to 22.O seconds: the Maxim had

No Longer . Trustee of Hi. Fathers
Estate.

Judge Hagner today decreed the removal
of William May. as co-trustee of the es-
tate of his father. the late DIR. John Fred
erick May. The deposed trustee was a CO.
trustee with his mother Sarah Maria May.
and the action OF the court today was the
result Of a long legal fight. in which the
widow and other children of DR. May con-
tended that William May had demonstrated
his unfitness to act as trustee. 1t was
claimed that his manners rendered Il about
impossible for his mother to act in con-
junction. and II was shown that the heirs.
under authority of a provision of The viii.
had unanimously resolved to depose Nj.
May as trustee, and had appointed Mr..
VIM H. Dennis in his place. ThereupOn
Mr. May asked the court to restrain Mr..
Dennis from acting as trustee. The In
junction was granted. whereupon the other
side moved to discharge the restraining
order and confirm the appointment of MIR.
Dennis. Such relief Judge Hagner granted
in his decree today, confirming the removal
of Mr.. May as trustee by the heirs and
restraining him from interfering with Mr..
Dennis. whose appointment as co-trustee
With Mrs. May. The court also directed
that Mr.. May should render accounting
and turn over TO his successor all that
which he may be entitled to as co-trustee.

FOR The FTREsM'EN
The Marine Band Concert Promises to Be
Successful 1 {.
Firemen md Policemen Arc Selling
the Tlckets-Others Who VIII
Participate In the Program,

The preparations for the concert by the
Marine Band at the Academy OF Music on
Wednesday night for the benefit Of the
families Of the three firemen who lost their
lives in the Knox fire are very nearly COM
pieted. The tickets are in the hands Of the
fire and police departments, and the ear
nestness with which they have entered
upon the work Of their disposition Indicates
a good result. Prof. Fanciulli hopes to
present one of the numbers on the pro-
gram descriptive composition which shall
depict the life of fireman and his work
at a fire. The number Of volunteers has
been very large, though but few Of them
could be accepted. Those who will par
ticipate in the program are Miss Dorothy
Byrde Rogers, soprano whose skill Is well
known and whose popularity as concert
singer is very great; Mr.. T. Williams-Pear-
man, an English tenor who has recently
come TO Washington. and who will be
heard here for the first time; Mr.. Homer
Lind louis Lindh ,imer). the young WASH
inston baritone. who has just returned
from studying in Germany; Slgnor Mama,
the well-known baritone. and Mrs. John
Seegur, who possesses a good and we'll
trained voice. The program will be of ex-
ceptional excellence. and will be worthy
not only of the occasion. but of the per-
formers.
Tomorrow the reserved seats will be on
Music. and 1t may be stated that only the
orchestra will be reserved. The prompt
manner in which the Marine Band rendered
its services and the ready offer of the
others who will participate in the program
are only a part of the general feeling of
the community In sympathy with the fam
lilies who were so suddenly and tragically
bereft Of those who contributed to their
support. 1t is believed that this concert
will add largely to the fund that Is being
raised and which has already grown to
generous proportions by Individual sub
scriptions.
The sale Of seats for the performance
given at Albaugh's Saturday night for the
benefit of this relief fund was very large
although Manager Allen says that he can
not yet state the exact amount. as the
returns have not all come In. He says.
how ever. that he will be able to turn over
a very satisfactory sum. He added that
Brooks and Denton. the banjoists. gave
their earnings for one day to help swell
the fund. ,
