UNIVERSITY CHAMBER CONCERTS


 Next Tuesday. December 15. is the date of the second of this seasons series of University Chamber concerts. It will be given by the Kneisel quartette. This organization Is too well known in this city, and in fact the world over, to re- puire detailed comment. The last Kneisel concert was a very great suc- cess. The wave of interest in music, which has carried enormous crowds in- to Woolsey hall to attend the Sympho- ny concerts and the Messiah seems to have eavorabIy affected the sale of season tickets for the chamber con- certs as well. The audience at the Hast Kneisel concert was unusually large and filled every corner of North Sheffield hall.
 The programme for Tuesdays con- cert will consist of the elaborate quar- tette in D major by Cesar Franck, per- haps the most gifted of French compos- CTS. trio for two violins and viola by Dvorak, which the Kneisels played here several years ago, and Mozart's beauti- ful cuartette in D minor. MT. Kneisel does not osten arrange his programme but seems to prefer to place the classic work at the end. evi- dently realizing the potency of the sim- pie, concise music of the old masters in destroying the feeling of restlessness sometimes produced by modern chomat- ic harmony.
 It is expected that a large audience will welcome the Kneisels next Tuesday in their final concert in New Haven this season.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
REASON FILED FOR APPEAL OF
 MRS. PHILO S. BENNETT.

Undue Influence Claimed Against MT.
 and mrs. ". J. Bryan-Divorees
 Grantsd-HIggius Guilty of fPraotlCing
 Medicine Without a License.
 The reasons for the appeal of Mrs. Philo s. Bennett from the adnlssloh oA the will of the late P. $. Bennett 10 probate were filed in the superior court yesterday by Judge Henry Stoddard' counsel for Mrs. Bennett. In substance the appellant claims that undue influ- ence on the part of MT. and Mrs. Will liam J. Bryan were exercised upon MT. Bennett in the making of the 18th, 1fth, 18th, 18th and 22d paragraphs ot the will, in all of which the Bryans receive bequests. The 12th clause is the S0O,OOO sealed letter provision.
 In relation to the letters referring to this trust fund the statement of the reasons for appeal alleges that, "Wl- liam J. Bryan and his wife induced and persuaded said Philo s. Bennett to sign the last mentioned letter (the duplicate of the sealed Ietter) and to copy con- siderable part of the other paper to be addressed to this appellant as the wife of MT. Bennett and to sign such copy
 Further it is set forth that MT. and Mrs. Bryan intended that only the last paper to be addressed to Mrs. Bennett was to be brought to her knowledge and this was for the purpose of induc- ing her to permit William J. Bryan to get the S50,000, and 1t was also the in- tent of the said William J. Bryan and his wife that the other paper addressed to William J. Bryan as My Dear Mr. Bryan was not to be made public, and at that time there was no intention on the part of MT. and Mrs. Bryan to have the letter addressed My Dear Mr. Bry- an,' brought to the knowledge of Mrs. Bennett. The writing addressed to this appellant, the wife of MT. Bennett, did not state the real and true arrangement which MT. and Mrs. Bryan had induced MT. Bennett to enter into with them"
 The appellant also refers to the sealed letter in this relation: The statement herein contained that, 'It is my desire that no one excepting you and MT. Bryan himself shall know of this letter and pretended bequest is misleading. Mrs. Bryan knew all about the papers and about said letter and pretended be- quest and MT. Bryan and his wife we'll knew that fact when they drew this pa per, for MT. Bennett to sign a copy of."
 Concluding the statement sets up the following claim: ''The insertion of the 18th clause in said paper writing pro- bated as the will of Philo s. Bennett was entirely induced by said William J. Bryan and Mary B. Bryan, or one. of them"
 How soon the case will be reached in the superior court is impossible to es- innate. The reasons for appeal on the Bryan side of the case have not as yet been filed by his counsel, Messrs. New ton and Hewitt. They will be based on the grounds that the excluded s5o,O00 sealed letter is a part of the will.
