RUBBERS MAY BE CHEAP.
Manufacturers of Footwear VIII
Slash Frices This Week.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-Wide open warfare
in the rubber footwear trade will begin
all over the United States before the
close OF the present week. Notice has
been received by every jobber of rubber
footwear in the country that handles the
goods of the United States Rubber Com
pany that prices are to be reduced Jan.
3. No figures are given, but IL is the pop
ularly-expressed belief in the trade that
the cuts will be e or Is per cent. The
object of this wholesale slash at prices
is to force the Independent manufacturers
of rubbers to conform to the selling prices
adopted by the trust. or force them TO
the wall. The outsiders have generally
refused TO be dictated to I'm the matter.
The capacity OF the outsiders aggregates
about s. per cent. as much as that OF the
big combination.

CODICILS BROKEN.


LOUISVILLE, KY. Dec. SIN the Botto
will case a jury in the Common Pleas d.
vision of the Jefferson County Circuit
Court this evening returned verdict that
broke the three codicils to the will Of Mrs.
Florence Irven-Botto and sustained the
will. The effect of this verdict is to give
William Botto a life interest I'm 900. and
to his mother. Cloteal b. Botto. $4,000 in
cash and one-eighth of the residuary
estate.
Mrs. Irven-Botto's estate is worth 600.
Her son Guy. now dead, was an intimate
friend of w. NJ. Botto. After her sons
death Mrs. Irven married Botto. who was
twenty-four years her junior. Mrs.
Irven Botto died on Feb. IL last.
and left a will with three codi-
ellis. w. NJ. Botto was given life interest
ir s25 900 and his mother $4,000 in cash and
one-eighth OF the residusry estate. All
the codicils increased the share of Mrs.
Botto and her son until William NJ. Bottos
share was one-third of the entire estate.
furnished residence and one-third of the
Tesiduary. and his mothers was over So
coo in cash and one-third OF the residuary.
In making these increases In the Botto 5
shares, a number OF the original devisees
were either completely cut on or their be-
quests materially reduced. A number of To-
cal charitable institutions were handsome
ly remembered in the will, but suffered
greatly in the codicils.
Three of Captain Irven's relatives and a
brother of Mrs. Irven-Botto were given
life interests I'm $1,000 each. At their deaths
these amounts were to go into the residuary
as were other smaller life interests. There
were two sets of contestants-the heirs OF
Captain Irven and Mrs. Irven-Botto, who
wished TO upset the will and codiciis. and
the devisees under the will who sought TO
eliminate the Bcttos from the will itself and
break the codicfls-
The general grounds OF the suit were
alleged lack OF testamentary capacity and
alleged undue influence on the part OF the
Bottos.
Before marrying Mrs. Irven, Botto had
married Belle Eastman, known also as
Belle Archer. She is now in San Francisco.
The case will be appealed.
