Above all. however. the changes in

its power by a market rise in consols

the London market are now in disfavor,
and as would be natural. the speculative
attention of the British public has, in a
measure turned toward American stocks.

THE DAVIS WILL CONTEST.
SURROGATE ARNOLD ADMITS THE TESLA
MENT OF MRS DAVIS TO PROBATE

Surrogate Arnold yesterday handed down de-
cision. admitting the will of Mrs. Emily X. Davis to
probate. Mrs. Davis died on June q. leaving n will
In which she gave all her property. valued at be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000. 10 her infant James
Milegc Davis. who was born before her marriage TO
her husband Millege J. Davis The husband. who is
a musician objected TO the probate OF the will on
tho ground that II was executed prior TO her
rlage TO him and became invalid by the marriage
and. also. that as daughter, Hazel born after
the execution Of the will. she was entitled to
equal interest In the estate The contention was adj
mitted Davis asked that ne be appointed executor
under the WILL but the father Of Mrs. Davis objected
10 his appointment, on the ground that he was not
financially responsible and that he had bad asso-
Ciates. II was urged In opposition TO Davis's
quest that James Everard, the brewer be appointed
executor.
Surrogate Arnold in his decision says: The OBJ
lection that there is child OF the testatrix living
born subsequent to the execution of tho will here
propounded. although sustained .by the evidence
does not constitute obstacle to the probate OF the
WILL as the interest OF such child in it's mothers
estate is not affected by the provisions of the Will
The remaining objection that the will made
long prior TO the marriage OF the testatrix with the
petitioner, would be good under the provisions of
the Revised Statutes, If II had been substantiatc1
by the testimony herein taken: but the evidence
is entirely TO the effect that the will executed
several months after the decedents marriage to the
petitioner
