CHESTER DEFEATED At LAST
10 a Game Full Of Brilliant PlayS-The
Score Stood ) 70 4

After many attempts the Wilmington
defeated the Chester boys yesterday by q
score of to 4.
In many respects the game was the
most remarkable played this season, first,
because the locals had TO play against
ten Chester men, and also of the number
of brilliant plays made especially by the
home team. I'm the absence of Dawson,
Tom News, formerly OF the Chester
team, was placed ON the diamond to UNI
pire. His decisions on balls and strikes
were all that could be desired. but when
it came to base-running he was decidedly
off, giving the visitors the best end Of il
all the time. In one inning he called
Walker out at first when he was safe by
nearly a foot, and at another time be
put Schultz out at the plate when Butt
should have scored.
The feature of the game was the great
out-held work Of the home team. HOn-
man and German each having six put
outs to their credit. But one error was
made on each side.
Today the locals 20 to Norristown and
tomorrow play at home with Chester
again.
The score follows:

ROGERS Will
FIGHT BEGUN
Counsel for CaVeatOrS Raise
Objection to Jurisdiction
Of Courts

Trenton, n. j., Sept. 16.-Before Chan
cellor Magic, sitting as the ordinary Of
the Prerogative Court OF New Jersey. the
contest over the will Of Jacob $. Rogers,
the late millionaire locomotive builder,
began today. There was large gather
ing Of prominent lawyers. Former At
torney-General John w. Griggs appeared
for the executors, and the trustees OF
the Metropolitan Museum Of Art, the
principal residuary legatee under the will,
were represented by Robert w. DeFor-
rest James NJ. Morrow, Allan II. Strong
and Shared Depue appeared for the
leading cavcators.
Some of the counsel made an effort 10
obtain an adjournment, because Ella A.
Rogers ana Julia Edith Gellathy, two OF
the caveators, wanted moro time to pre-
pare the case. Chancellor Magic ex-
planned that il was an important case
and that delays were dangerous
John Havron, of New York, who was a
clerk in the New York Office Of the Rog-
ers Locomotive Works, testified that he
signed the will and the three codicils as
a witness, and he considered Mr.. Rogers
OF sound mind.
George 10. Hanna, Frank j. Shadler
and George ii. Longhotttom, other clerks,
and witnesses to the will or lis codicils,
gave testimony similar 10 that OF Mr..
Hayron. Mr. Hanna said Mr.. Rogers
occasionally showed signs OF bad tenn
per, but he considered That the testator
was OF sound mind when he signed ,he
will. Mr.. Longbottom testified that on
the day the will was signed Mr.. Rogers
would not let it go out OF his possession
John II. Beam, of Paterson, testified
that he knew Mr.. Rogers had consider
able property in New Jersey II was az
this point that Chaunccy G.. Parker, OF
Newark, offered exceptions to the juris-
diction of the court in probating the will.
There was nothing in evidence to show
that Mr.. Rogers was citizen OF New
Jersey, he argued, but there was much
TO show he was n resident of New York,
and II was in that State that the will
was made and found. Mr.. Griggs replied
that the jurisdiction Of the court was I'M
questioned. He said the mere fact that
the executors came into the Prerogativc
Court TO probate the will settled the mat
ter Of jurisdiction. William Pennington
one Of the three executors, then testified
that Mr.. Rogers owned property in New
Jersey.
On the statement OF Mr. Morrow that
tho caveators whom he represented wer
unable to attend today's session. Chan
cellor Magic adjourned the case unit
Monday. Subsequent hearings win be u

BROKEN BRIC-A=BRAS

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, of New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement
The multitudes who use this standard arti.
Gle know that it is many hundred per cent.
better than other cements for which similar
claims are made, but great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best materials ever discovered
and other manufacturers do not use them, be-
large profits. MI. Major tells that one of
the elements Of his cement costs 1915 pound,
and another So IS gallon, while large share
OF the so-called cements and liquid glue upon
the market is nothing more than Decent glue.
dissolved in water citric acid, and, in some
cases. altered slightly in color and odor by the
addition of cheap and useless materials
Majors Cement retails at Is cents and 25
cents bottle, and when dealer tries to sell a
only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors Cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr. Ma
jor's advertising which now amounts to over
S., 900 month. throughout the country. Es-
tablished in 1915.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
off-hand advice from druggist.
If you are at all handy land you will be like
ly to find that you good deal more so
than you imagine) you can repair your rub ber
boots and family shoes, and any other rubber
ment and Majors Leather Cement.

lars a year you will thus save.

Against Primary Elections.

James G.. Monahan, in his address
before the legislative committees last
week, advanced the following argu-
ments against the primary election
bill:
am now, and always have been, in
favor Of giving to the people that
which belongs to them-absolute con-
troll in political affairs. [ am opposed
to this bill because the provision which
makes it necessary for candidate
before he can get his name printed on
the primary ballot to secure 2 PEI, cent.
of the voters of his party to sign a
petition asking him to be candidate.
imposes an unnecessary expense and
will deter many modest men, with but
little money, from becoming candi-
dates; increase the activity of the
boodler and professional politician,
lengthen the arm of every boss and
increase the strength of every machine.
It will practically deprive the farmer
vote from any voice in either county
or state affairs. When one class of
voters reside within few minutes
walk of the polls, while the other must
come by teams, from one to eight miles.
the handicap is too great. Milwaukee
ard the other large cities would domi-
nate the state.
The date fixed for the primary cleo
ton is the first Tuesday in September.
when the farmers are busily engaged
in threshing and cutting corn. These
men must come from one to eight
miles to vote. What percentage of
them would leave their work to do sc?
The bill makes primary election day
legal holiday; also registration day in
the cities. This will bring out full
vote in the cities, and. as result,
candidates from the country districts
will invariably be defeated. This
argument is met by saying the country
vote will combine against the cities.
This can t be done unless combination
is made among the candidates and
people outside the cities; and when
this is done you have simply built up
a machine and installed some addition
al bosses.
[ have been fairly active in politics
for quarter of a century. and this is
the first time | have ever heard Re-
publicans advocate policy that would
array the cities against the country
section against section, or class against
class. 1t has always been my proud
boast that the advocates of all such
dangerous, pernicious doctrines were
always found in political organizations
outside of the Republican party.
Unnecessary taxation is unjust
taxation And this bill will impose

THE SHEEP STATES.
New Mexico and Montana Lead, hut
Ohio Is Doing Very
Well.

To-day the seat of the sheep-rearing
industry of the union has shifted from
the middle west to the plateau region
between the Rockies and the Sierras,
writes Capt. j. FL. McClintock, in Aims
lees. Ohio is still doing very we'll in the
business, with nearly 100000 head,
but she has dropped from first to
fourth in the list of mutton produc-
ing states. New Mexico is at the head,
with more than 100000. Montana
has nearly as many, while Wyoming
leads Ohio closely by few hundred
thousand head. Idaho closely follows
Ohio in rating. Oregon, California and
Texas each has about 2,5OO, 900 sheep.
The Navajo Indians of Arizona are
material factor in the wool market.
The tribe is wealthy through it's focks.
The tribesmen are believed to own lit
tie short of 1000 900 head, the care
of the facks and the weaving of wool
being almost the sole occupation of
the $4,000 Indians. Singular to relate,
only small part of the Navajo wool
crop is worked up at home into the
wonderful blankets that have made the
tribal name famous. Only the coarser
and cheaper blankets are now made of
the native wool. The up-to-date Navajo
weaver uses Germantown yarn and
Diamond dyes.

TIE assembly last week passed, by
q vote of IS to Is, the Miner Joint
resolution asking congress to defeat

Hall was the principal champion of
the resolution and advanced many
arguments against the ship subsidy.
He said American ship-builders are
not in need of subsidies that they are
more than holding their own in COM

moreover, that nearly all of the

distribute would go to seven or eight
