ROGERS VIII CONTEST SET1LED.
Heirs Accept $250,OOO Additional OF the
$4,000, 900 Estate.

New York, Oct. 16-All litigation
with regard to the will of Jacob S. Rog-
ers has been settled. In commenting
on this Robert N. DeForrest, counsel
for the Metropolitan Museum of Art
said:
1.-THE effect of this settlement will be
to put the museum within a short time
in possession of Mr.. Rogers residuary
estate, the value of which is upwards
of $4,000, 900 and to enable 1t to promptly
carry out his benevolent intentions, the
execution of which might otherwise
have been delayed for several years
by protracted litigation.
"The amount paid in settlement was
s25O,OOO, about five per cent. on the
amount involved, and not much more
than a years normal income on this
amount of property. While further lit
igation over the will was quite possi-
BILE the chief subject of settlement was
the claim made against his estate that
by making the museum his residuary
legatee he had violated an agreement
alleged to have been made between
himself and his deceased brothers,
whose surviving children are his next
of kin, whereby the brothers in default
of issue, We're to make mutual Wills
and were to leave their property to the
others or to their issue. There Is some
reason to believe that an agreement of
this character once existed, though 1t Is
certain that If 1t existed Mr.. Rogers
did not suppose it to be operative at
the time he made his will in favor OF
the museum. That such an agreement
might have been made at some time re-
specting the family interests in the
Rogers Locomotive works at Paterson,
would not have been unlikely.
'In any case the amount paid is un-
questionably less than the expense and
loss incident to protracted litigation,
however successful or even if family
claims have by this settlement been
recognized to greater extent than un-
der the will (his legacies to members OF
his family aggregated $250,00O, and by
this settlement these legacies are prac-
tically doubled the available amount
of Mr.. Rogers' public beouests is un-
ouestinoably increased and the time
which the ruhlc can benefit by his be-
quests Is materially shortened The
settlement has been made with the full
acouiesence and asset of Mr.. Rogers
executors, and with the approval of all
those members of his family who, how
ever disappointed by the terms OF his
will. were ready to have his testament
tary intentions carried out because
those intentions were his"

HissGD SPECTdTORS.


London. Oct 16.-When the hearing
of the charges against Theodore and
Laura Jackson (Ann O'Delia Diss De
Barr) was resumed in the police court
to-day the woman entered the dock
dressed in spotless white. She placed
her hands together before her face and
closed her eyes in the attitude of
prayer. The crowded court room was
silent.
The hearing was devoted to revolving
testimony of the behavior of the male
defendant towards young woman
who was one of the alleged victims of
the pair. The alleged deceptions were
seemingly accompanied by hypnotic in
f1uence. AS the prisoners left the dock
they were hissed by the spectators.
Jackson cried: keep quiet, you rep
tiles.
The testimony was of such char
acter that the London papers, which
usually print verbatim reports of SEN
sational criminal trials, say that In this
instance they are unable to do so.
