New HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 6.-De-
cision in the Philo S. Bennett will
case, in which William J. Bryan ap-
pears both as executor under the will
and beneficiary, was made by Judge
Cleveland in probate court today.
The court finds that the sealed letter,
about which there las been a contest
providing for gift of $4,000 TO Mr..
Bryan and family, was not incorpo-
rated in the will. The court further
said that he expressed no opinion as
to whether the sealed letter which gives
$4,000 to Mr.. Bryan and his family
can be incorporated in the will.
Newton, Church & Hewitt, counsel
for Mr.. Bryan in this city, said in re-
ply 10 a question that although Mr..
Bryan had not yet been informed of
the decision he would undou btedly de-
eide to enter an appeal.

Would Resist American Invasion.

LONDON, Nov. 5.-Joseph Chamber
lain made speech yesterday. After
dealing with conditions for the past
50 years under free trade and quoting
figures to sustain his argument, Mr..
Chamberlain commented on Golden S
position, quoting Golden as saying
that the United States would event.
ually abandon manufacturing and th at
"the workingman would go back to
the land and dig and delve for US"
The Americans, however, said Mr..
Chamberlain, had not SO conceived
their national destiny and did not be. .
lieve they were created by providence
to dig and delve and pillow for the
benefit of Great Britain. They knew
they had resources of their own and
behind the tariff wall they had built
up their industries until they had
reached a stage where, unsatisfed
with the extent of their own markets.
they were invading those of the United
Kingdom.
Mr.. Chamberlain said he did not
blame the United States, but he ap.
pealed to Englishmen to say whether
they would adhere to the old system
or adopt another which would pre-
vent the American invasion.

CONGRESS IN SESSION.
National Lawmakers Assemble In Res
pOnsc to Call of President,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The Fifty.
eighth congress convened in extra
ordinary session at noon today in
accordance with the proclaim alton of
President Roosevelt for the purpose
OF enacting legislation necessary to
make effective the Cuban reciprocity
treaty.
The house assembled the largest
membership in its history and the
scene before the gavel fell in thai
body was one of nation, both on
the floor, in the cloak rooms and in
the lobbies and corridors. The day
was crisp and bright and the capitol
building presented the appearance of
new structure with its coat of white
paint and complete renov alton within.
The fact that speaker was to be
elected and that this was the first ses-
sion of new congress added to the
interest that usually attaches to an
opening day. Long before noon when
the gravel fell the galleries were filled,
the ladies being largely in the major
ity. Many were disappointed, holders
OF cards of admission even being
among this number. The new mem.
bers OF the house received their initia-
tion to doorkeepers and house EN-.
ployes and many we're turned back for
identification because of their slight
hesitation on presenting themselves
for admission. Such incidents con.
tributed to the general lively anima-
tion and good humor of the occasion.
Several hundred bills were intro
duced in the house today. The state.
hood bill for New Mexico introduced
by Delegate Roded has the distinction
of being the first house bill of the 5Sth
congress and will be number one.
A bill prescribing life imprisonment
for attempts to commit bodily injury
against the president or vice presi-
dent was introduced in the house to.
day by Mr.. Littlefield, of Maine. Per-
sons who aid or abetin any attack on
the president or in numbering him are
deemed principal offenders. The har-
boring OF persons guilty of the offenses
mentioned is made punishable by 25
years imprisonment A fine and inn
prisonment penalty is provided for
the teaching of anarchistic doctrines
and for conspiring within or without
the United States for killing of the
ruler or chief executive of any other
country.

Decision Adverse to HeinZe.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3.-The de-.
cision OF the circuit court of Montana,
in the case of F. Augustus Heinze, as
administrator of the estate of James
Larkin and Clara A. Larkin, deceased, ,
against the Butte & Boston Consol-
idated Mining company, was affirmed
by Judges Gilbert and Morrow of the
circuit court of appeals today. Judge
Ross dissented from the decree. The
decision is victory for the Butte &
Boston.
1t settles title to half interest in
the Snohomish and two-thirds in the
Tramway mining claims, located in
Meaderville, the heart of the copper
belt of Butte. 1t also permits the re-
ceiver of the property to turn over to
the Butte & Boston company about
$205, 900, which is a portion of the net
proceeds from ore taken out of the two
mines prior to the time the circuit
court of appeals ordered a suspension
of operations, about a year ago.

Mormon Boasts Of POlygamy.

SALT LAKE, Nov. 5.-Apostle Heber
j. Grant, of the Mormon church, in a
public address at the university of
Utah made an open admission that he
was living in polygamy and that he
would gladly take more wives, but
was prevented by the government. The
apostle, who is known as the smooth.

just after he was applauded for an
utterance and when called away for
the moment by the demonstration.
This is the first open decl laration made
in years by an official of the Mormon
hierarchy, that he was living in polyg-
any and it has caused tremendous
sensation.

Suit Over Havre Franchises

ST. PAUL, Nov. ga suit which
raises the question of the ownership
OF the electric lighting and telephone
franchises at Havre, Mont, has been
brought in Ramsey county district
court. The plaintiffs are S. A. Wal.
lace, W. E. Mckenzie, E. M. Walsh,
Clara Bucklen, as administrative of
the estate of Deforrest Bucklen, de-
ceased; G. w. Newberry and A. D.
Stephens, and the defendant is E. V.
Hauser. The plaintiffs are of Crook
ston, Minn., and the defendant of
Havre, Mont.
1t is alleged by the plaintiffs that a
year ago Hauser and Mckenzie secured
from the authorities of Havre two
franchises, one for electric light and
one for a telephone line, in the name
OF Hauser, with the understanding tn at
Mckenzie was to bring the others into
the partnership with him. The cost of
the electric light plant and of the tele-
phone lines was to be about $25, 900,
including a telephone line from Havre
to Assinniboine, bought for S400. The
plaintiffs were TO pay money in as
called for to bear the cost, and they
say that they did, in fact. pay in Sl2,-
100. The franchises are, it is alleged,
valuable ones, worth the sum of $780,
600. 1t is charged that Hauser, the
defendant, repudiated the plaintiffs,
advising them that he owned the fran
chises, position in which they re-
fuse to acquiesce.
They asked the court to adjudge that
there is a partnership, and that Haus-
er holds the property in character of
trustee: that the property be sold for
their mutual benefit, thu a receiver be
appointed, that accountings be had
that Hauser be restrained from selling
any of the property pending adjudica
ton of the court.

Gus of the republican members of the

house tonight. Representative JOS
eph G. Cannon of Illinois was unani-
mously chosen as the candidate of the
majority as speaker of the house. Mr.
Cannon, in accepting the nomin alton,
among other things said:
''The republican party stands for
those policies that have, in the main,
prevailed since 1861, under which in
40 years, from comparatively small

NEW REPUBLIC RECOGNIZED.
The New Government Of Panama Secure:
Recognition from United States.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The follow
ing telegram was sent by the state de-
partment today to MIR. Ehrman, the
acting consul general of the United
States at Panama:
"The people of Panama have, by an
apparently unanimous movement, dis
solved their political relations with
the republic of Colon bia and assumed
their independence. When you are
satisfied that de facto government,
repu ublican in form, and without SUBJ
stantial opposition from its own peo-
pie, has been established in the state
of Panama, you will enter into reIa.
tions with it as the responsible gov
ernment of the territory and look to it
for all due action to protect the per-
sons and property OF the citizens Of
the United States and to keep open
the isthmian transit, in accord ance
with the obligations of existing trea-
ties governing the relations of the
United States to that territory"
Immediately afterward an instruc-
ton was sent by telegraph to Mr..
Beaupre, the United States minister
at Bogota, IN the following terms:
1.-THE people of Panama having, by an
apparently unanimous movement, dis
solved their political connection with
the republic of Colombia and resumed
their independence, and having
adopted a government of their own,
republican in form, with which the
government of the United States of
America has entered into relations,
the president of the United States, in
accord ance with the ties of friendshi
which have so long and so happily ex.
listed between the respective nations,
most earnestly recommends to the gov
ernments of Colombia and of Panama
the peaceful and equitable settlement
of all questions at issue between them.
He holds that he is bound, not only
by treaty oblig attons, but by the in
terests of civilization, to see that the
peaceful traffic of the world across the
isthmus of Panama shall no longer be
disturbed by constant succession of
unnecessary and wasteful civil wars.'
