SCHEME WILL HARDLY WORK.
Many Party Leaders win be Opposed
To the Proposition Under ES.

OLD OFFICERS SEEKING TO REMAIN
Argument is There Should be Clean
Sweep and a Division Between
Democrats and Republicans.

There was n strong effort to secure
a caucus today of the Republican coun-
cilmen-eleot The movement was in
augurated by and in behalf OF four
heads OF the present municipal admins
lstration-Supt OF Waterworks Hines,
City Engineer Kelsey, Lana and Water
Commissioner MacKnight and Health
Commissioner Stewart
These officials desire TO retain their
places after the new year, and under
that majority OF the city council is
Republican and that there - no reason
that they should not be- retained, They
say that the Republican, councilmen
should get together ana refuse to con-
firm the appointments Of Mayor-elrct
Morris unless he agrees to appoint
them TO their present places.
For some reason tie newly elected
members of the council did not all take
k'nd,y to the plan ana no caucus WAS
held and none may be held, They ar
que at least some Of them 10 mat
there is a new order Of things and that
there should be clean sweep in jan

new men who are going into office,
mayor and eouncilmen alike, should be
permitted to select appointees who are
In no way connected with the present
regime, If they desire. and that both
Republicans and Democrats should be

COURT DECIDES
AGAINST BRYAN

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 6.--Judge
Livingston w. Cleaveland OF the pro-
bate court handed down decision to-
day In the Philo s. Bennett viii case,
holding that the secret letter directing
Mrs. Bennett, the widow, to pay Will
liam j. Bryan $4,000 was not part OF
the will. The effect Of this is to pre-
vent Mr.. Bryan from obtaining the
money mentioned in the letter unless
the present decision II reversed by a
higher court or unless he should be
successful in legal proceedings against
Mrs Bennett, in the event that the $780,
900 should be paid under clause 70 Of the
Will which reads az follows
"Twelfth-l give and bequeath unto
my wife Grace lmOgen Bennett. the
sum OF nifty thousand dollars $4,000
i'm trust, however, for purposes st
forth in a sealed letter which viii be
found with said Will"
The text OF the letter was made pub
lie at one OF the hearings on the win.
Mr.. Bryan was not present when the
decision was announced, but his attor-
news said he would undoubtedly appeal
from Judge Cleayeland's decision.
The court finds that the sealed letter
about which there has been a contest
providing for Gift OF $4,000 to Mr..
Bryan and family, was not lncorpor-
ated In the VIII.
Copies Of the decree were handed to
attorneys representing Mrs. Bennett,
the widow and MIR Bryan.

has entirely deserted him, heard the sem
tence without a movement OF feature or
outward suggestion OF emotion.

In all probability appeal but that a. cer-
tihcate Of reasonable doubt would be APP

back and proceeded to unlock the

by the throat and nearly choked

same time threatened TO XIII him
. If he did not tell where he kept
his money
. Under the torture, and being
entirely helpless, he told the men
