BAD FOR VERD0N.
Labor Unions Will Have
None of Him and His
Movement.

The so-called independent political
movement which Frederick Verdon OF
Hoboken and others have been trying to
organize fell with a decided jar yester-
day so far as the labor unions of this
county are concerned. Rumors have been
persistently circulated during the past
week that verdon and his movement
would receive the full support of the
labor unions. Mr.. Verdon even said so
himself. Where he got his authority for
making such an assertion no one seems
to know. His adherents even went so far
as to distribute circulars and posters an
nouncing that organized labor was in
sympathy with the movement
: II order tc set at rest these rumofs
and to inform the public in general that
the labor unions throughout this county
had taken no action in connection With
any political movement, meeting of rep
resentatives of the various unions was
held yesterday at Jansen's Hall, at VIII
low avenue and First street, Hoboken.

GIVE up CONTEST
Caveators Withdraw OBJ
jections to Probate Of
Rogers's Will.
WILL BEGIN NEW SUIT
Claim Will Violates an Agree
ment Between Rogers and
His Brothers.
WILL BEGIN NEW SUIT

Room No. /, in the Court of Chancery.
IN this city, was crowded this morning
with All array of eminent counsel and lay
men in anticipation of some sensational
development in the contest over the will
of the late Jacob s. Rogers, the nlillion-
aire locomotive builder of Paterson, who
left almost his entire fortune of 5000 900
to the metropolitan Museum of Art OF
New York They wer doomed to disap-
pointment, for early in the proceedings
Richard " Lindabury, one of the counsel
for the contestants announced that he
would not oppose the probate of the will,
and Chancellor Magic sitting as Ordinary
of the Prerogative Court, admitted the
will to probate.
Caveats had been filed by Thomas Rog-
ers, Edith Rogers Gellatly, Ella A. Rog-
ers and Helen Rogers Bradford, nephew
and nieces of the deceased. These were
represented in court this morning by
Richard " Lindabury, Samuel Kalisch.
Sherrard Depue and James McClintock
Morrow, while ex-Attorney General
Griggs represented the executors, and
Robert De Forest and George Holmes ap-
peared for the Museum of Art. Last
week at Trenton the Ordinary heard the
testimony of John Harrow, George +.
Hannah, Frank ]. Shadler and George
Longbottom, witness to the will and It's
codicils and testimony regarding the tes-
tamentary capacity of Jacob ). Rogers.
and held court this morning to hear the
objections of the caveators to the propa-
ting of the will.
The spectators were all ready for the
sensational developments which had oeen
limited at when Mr.. Linabury addressing
the court said:-"We represent, II the
court please, number of the heirs at law
of Jacob S. Rogers and Mr.. Kalisch and
Mr.. Morrow represent others. Speaking
for all them / beg to say that the real
objection to this will is that 1t is IN
violation of a contract existing between
Jacob S. Rogres and his brothers, Whlcn
his brothers executed and he did not per-
form On that account we have felt 1t our
duty to make full investigation as 10
the testimentary capacity OF JACOB ..
Rogers and as to the execution OF MS Will
that investigation, which has just been
completed has satisfied in that he was OF
testamentary capacity and that the Will
was executed in due form. The other and
principal objection, of course, cannot be
submitted to this tribunal, but only to the
Court of Chancery and we will therefore
90 there and make no contest here
Chancellor Magic then announced that
he could admit the will to probate and
issue letters testamentary.
This ends the will contest, but a hght
will now be made in Chancery Tor the
millionaire,s fortune. Mr. Lindabury said
subsequently, that the agreement to which
he referred made between Mr.. Rogers and
his brothers provided that in case any one
of them should die without issue he would
will his property to the children of any
Of the others.

and P. @. S. of A. Hear
Mr.. Swaffield.

Memorial services for President McKin-
ley wer held last night in the Summit
Avenue Baptist Church They attracted
congregation that filled every seat in
the large auditorium, crowded the aisles
and oyerf1owed into the vestibule. On the
platform, to the right of the pulpit, stood
large picture of the martyred Presi-
dent, suitably draped, while at each end
of the platform the National colors were
tied with mourning bands.

Council No. 81, Jr. o. U. A. NJ, and Wash
ington Camp, P. o. S. of A., with many
membe RS all in full uniform or regalia.
The sermon was preached by the pastor
of the church, teh Rev. Walter J. Swat
field. who was never more eloquent or i'm
pressive. So forciful were many of his
patriotic reference to the President that
he was frequently interrupted by applause
from the immense congregation
He paid a glowing eulogy to President
Mckinley, and said that evidently the
assassin-anarchist did not measure the
resources of the great nation for most
| CAPABLE and worthy successor for the
| lamented President was found in Theo-
| dore Roosevelt.
Pastor Swaffield called on the veterans
| present to stand by the Nation in its eff
| forts to stamp out the demon anarchy
| as they had stood by it in the fight to
wipe out slavery. He told the members
| of the other organizations present that
they would be unfaithful to the vows
made to their orders and to their duty
| to their country if they failed to join in
| the fight Several times he was inter-
| rupted by cries of eve willv' from mem
bers of the organizations represented. :.
The speaker pointed out the fact that all
| thre assasins of Presidents We're Ameri-
cans by birth and urged his hearers not to
decnise the foreign born citizen who was
| often the most lyoal to the constitution
| of his adopted country. In conclusion he
expressed the hope that the members of
! the organizations present would not allow
! their societies to become mere insurance
orders to pay the families of departed
members few hundred dollars, but would
| bear in mind that they were organized for
more patriotic purposes
