If Miller business men and
citizens desire a park for out

carrying out his work steadilv

lie occasionally meets. 'Tis

Miller is practically in the same

was founded. This nor any
other town has ever been so
as to have perfect
natural streets. The idea often
in small towns that
the streets arebetter left ungrad-

foolish and narrow. No real
progress or growth can ever he

Forty thousand men in the building

Outside of New York the contracts
held byq members of the Iron league
are few, and only a few buildings in
Philadelphia, Pittsbufgs and ST. Louis

Buchanan claimed to-day that 5 900
men will walk out in New York and
that 10000 building mechanics will be

FRANCE WILL ACT
Seeks Certain Assurances First--Niil
Then Grant Recognition.

Paris Nov. T,-Before giving
Frances formal recognition to the new
republiG of Panama, Foreign Minis
ter peleaSse has decided to secure a
specific declaration that the new re-
Gime will carry out Colombia's former
obligations in connection with the ca
nal and other French property inter-
ests. Untilathis declaration is unmis-
takably given. French recognition will
be withheld: but as soon as 1T is given
that France will recognize the inde-
pendence of the new state.
Gable inquiries are now proceeding
to secure the specific assurance re-
quested., The French consul at Pana-
ma cabled yesterday that Panama
would. asstme Colombia's former trea-
ty and legal obligations. This is con-
sidefed by the officials here as max
ing practically certain the intentions
of the new state towards French
property rights, but in order TO. re-
move the slightest question Of doubt,
q definite declaration from the new
regime is awaited. When this is re-
ceived, it is expected the French
course towards the recognition of the
new state will follow substantially
that taken by Washington yesterday,
the French consul at Panama being
directed to enter into relations with
the new authorities and formal let
ters of recognition following later
The officials here construe- the &C
ton taken by the United States as be-
Ing equivalent to a full recognition Of
the new state.

BRYAN NAMED
AS EXECUTOR
The Court Appoints Him Despite the
Protests Of Mrs. BENEFITS
Attorneys.
In All Probability Both Sides Will
Appeal from the Courts
Decision. Il

New Haven, Conn.,. Nov. Tn the
probate court to-day William j. Bryan
was admitted to act as executor OF
the will ofsPhilo s.. Bennett, an objec-
ton to him made by Mrs. Benefits
,couusel being oyetruled. The amount
of the bond was fixed at $350,000.
Counsel on both sides indicated that
an appeal will be taken.
Proceedings opened with a question
from Judge Cleaveland as to whether
counsel desired to be heard on the the
form of the decree. After some dis
cussion it was agreed that conference
early next week should, determine the
form. Ia ~
Judge Stoddard asked if counsel for
the executors would state definitely
whether Mr.. Bryan intended to qualify
as an executor. He pointed out that
if Mr.. Bryan declined to do so, Mr..
Sloan, partner of Mr.. Bennett, would
remain sole executor. Mr.. Stoddard,
counsel for the heirs, stated that he
would urge Mr.. Sloan to continue, but
that he. would protest against Mr.. sBry-
an. Addressing the court he said:s =
Your honor has decided that the
sealed letetr is not a part Of the will.
We. shall insist upon the performance
of his dutysas executor if Mr.. Bryan is
to act as such. But if there is any
lingering suspicion that he intends to
take an appeal, it is not right that he
should qualify also as executor. He
cannot serve two masters in this mat
ter. If he intends to uphold the law,
as your honor has spoken it,, it will be
contrary to the law to undertake to de-
stroy that will. BY taking an appeal
Mr.. Bryan undertakes a course for
the advantage of himself and his
| family. He cannot put aside the In
terests Of his family, if he chooses to
put aside his own in this matter. This
is a property affair. IF that sealed let
ter is a part Of the will, Mr.. Bryan's
family has a property interest, and
| unless by some formal remuneration he
| puts beyond peradventure the question
of whether he will try to take advan-
| be considered to claim a property in
| terest. It. is utterly inconsistent for
Mr.. Bryan to act as executor and at
| the same time take an appeal from the
| courts decision. If your honor
should hold that that is law. shall
advise my clients to take an appeal to
test the matter.
Under some other clauses Of. the
will, certainly the 18th clause, Mr.
| Bryan takes as trustee and not as an
| individual, certain moneys. AS trlts-
tee under that section, it will be Mr.
Bryan's duty to uphold that section
| If he becomes executor, he also stands
as trustee under the will. In that par.
! ticular his position is, also extraord
mary. That creates two contestine
parties under the. will, and1one of then
seems to qualify assexecutor under the
instrument. I should not think thai
he would want to feel that his dut,
as trustee might influence him agains
