SMITHS
WILL IN
QUESTION.
Appeal Of the Surviving Execu :
tors on Estate Heard by
Appellate Court.

Judge Tlllinghast and Justices Rogers
ana Douglas today heard the appeal OF
James Tillinghast and Richard II. Dana,
surviving executors OF the will of John
Wilson Smith, from a decision of the
common pleas division, TO dismiss an APP
peal from an order OF the municipal court
OF Providence directing the petitioners
10 file an inventory and settle their ac-
count as executors.
The question the court was asked to
pass upon today was whether or not the
decision of the common pleas division
Exas correct.
on May l3. 1901, Brown university, the
Rhode Island hospital and the Providence
public library, residuary donees under
the Will of John Wilson Smith, presented
a petition to the municipal court. which
recited among other things that no ac-
count has ever been submitted 10 this
court by the executors of the will OF
said Smith OF their dealings with his es-
tate, and asking that the executors be
required TO file an inventory and an ac-
count 1t was stated In the petition that
the request was made because large
sums of money belonging TO the estate
OF the said John Wilson Smith were in
trusted by the executors OF his will TO
one of their number. the late Henry G.
Cranston, in his business with the
knowledge OF his co-executors, and were
lost hy him. For these sums the said
Tillinghast and Dana refuse TO account
In any way
Mr.. Tillinghast In the fling of the pc
tition was -eited-te appear before the
municipal court, whereupon he and Mr..
Dana filed demurrer.
The grounds OF demurrer in brief de-
N "a
file an inventory and the court could not
require IL. AS TO the account the claim Is
that the will exempts the executors from
filing an account, that no bond was given
save to pay funeral expenses, debts and
legacies. The institutions that asked for
the account say In regard to the appeal
OF Dana and Tillinghast that there Is
nothing In the case that a jury can pass
upon. A number OF pleas are filed by
the appellants which claims that the
beneficiaries under the will have acted In
such a manner as TO be estopped from
requiring an account of the acts OF the
executors in regard TO the estate in the
manner now under consideration.
Arnold Green and John G. Pegram,
counsel for the public institutions above
named. say in addition TO the statement
that there is nothing triable by a jury
that the order of the court of probate
made I'm this instance is not renewable by
N jury: that a probate appeal in the
common pleas division can be tried only
by jury, and that the reasons OF appeal
are on their face mock pleading when
presented TO the common pleas division.
William II. Tilinghast and Edwards a.
Angel. counsel for the executors. say
that the case is one In which there is
no dearth of questions OF fact which may
be disputed az the trial and that the claim
of jury trial should be sustained
The case was held for advisement

Industrial disturbance has been reported
up to this afternoon. The spring OF 1902
will long be remembered for it's record
breaking number OF strikes and lockouts
In the New England states. but i'm many
branches OF industry the difficulties were
settled before the approach of May day.
The city OF Boston was remarkably free
from strikes this morning; i'm fact there
was little or no trouble and but for the
long standing brewers difficulty and the
strike last week Of the tin can workers.
the atmosphere would be practically clear.
The carpenters. bakers and tip cart
drivers Of the city have grievances but
IL Is thought most of these will be ad-
justed without strikes.
ON Cape Ann some 500 granite cutters
left work because their demands re-
garding wages and hours were not COM
piled with and I'm Barre. VI. and at one
or two other places a small number of
granite workers struck.
Strikes among the building trades oc-
Cured I'm several Connecticut towns and
at number OF points i'm other states.
With those worl<men who have been
out for some time and those who struck
today IL Is probable that the total num-
ber OF persons on strike In New England
will approach closely 20 $1,000
The greatest disturbance and i'm some
respects the most remarkable known for
years ~ new tnHlhnd Is tnat OF the
weavers IN the mills OF the American
Wooden company. From an apparently
insignificant difficulty in Olneyvire r. J..
three months ago. the trouble has con-
tinued to grow and rs still extending. until
today some 20.OO0 operatives are affected.
Not more than 1000 weavers left their
looms. but the idle machinery and the
finishing up OF material has compelled
many additional thousands 90 leave the
mills
IN some cases plants have been shut
down, while others are closing gradually
\ settlement of this strike seems as re-
mote as ever. The wesverS in r. plants
OF the combine are out aud part of the
forces IN two additional mills came out
yesterday and today.
