Held in New Britain Monday and Tues
day Attended by Local Societies.
The Hermann Sohns Singing society,
of New Haven, returned from New Bri-
tain on the $40 train Tuesday night,
where they had attended the saenger-
fest held by the Connecticut Stats
Saengerbund on Monday and Tuesday.
They all thoroughly enjoyed the trip,
which included singing contests, a pic
mic, a concert and grand ball. The
New Haven band and the Arion Sing
ing society, of this city, were also pres
ent.
Much surprised was expressed by the
New Britain people and friends of the
society that the local singers did not
win any of the prizes, as they were
thought to have easily gained one OF
the first honors The societies returned,
however, very well pleased with their
trip.
The exercises were attended by Gov
ernor Chamberlain, who was called on
for a speech at the concert, Mayor Bias
sett of New Britain, and other city Off
cials.

TN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
CONTEST OYER WILL OF THE
LATE ELW0oD H. SMITH.
Further Developments in Bullock Case

ley Removed-sIr. Mersicles VIII to
be Probated-city Court Routine.

4tE ItCfnOfGu--JAEs 1ACAHANAAH go -
be Probated-Cify Court Routine.
The will of the late Elwood H. Smith,
of the firm of jeremiah Smith & Sons,
oystermen, was subjected to contest
In the probate court yesterday, and it
is likely that the contest will be carried
to the superior court.
The contestant is Mrs. Daisy E. New
port, wife of Walter K Newport, a
daughter of the testator.
Mrs. Newport was bequeathed but
300 in the will of her father.
Other heirs are Mrs. Smith, the wild
ow. Elmer E. Smith and Leon Smith,
sons, and Lulu A. Smith, daughter.
They are all handsomely remembered.
1t is estimated that Mr.. Smith left
an estate of 100000.
The ground of the contest is that Mr..
Smiths will was not properly executed;
that he did not tell the witnesses that
1t was his will, and that they did not
Sign 1t in his presence and In the pres
ence Of each other.
The witnesses to the will are Arthur
e. Lincoln, William II. Merwin and
EnarleS Lane.
Attorney Albert e. Welles and Pro-
lessor George E. Beers are counsel for
the contestants, and William A. Wright
is counsel for the other heirs.
At the outset of the hearing yester-
day morning Attorney Welles requested
that while one witness was testifying
the other two be asked to retire from
the room. Judge Cleaveland allowed
request.
Witness Lincoln stated that at the
time he signed the will Mr.. Smith was
of sound mind and memory. He did
not say to witness, however, that it
was his will. The impression of wit
ness was that the paper was all made
out with Mr.. Smiths signature on it
when he was called in to sign it.
Witness Merwin said he could not say
that the will was signed before the
witnesses.
Witness Lane simply said that he
signed the will.
Arguments by counsel were made at
$3.50 yesterday afternoon.
The 500 bequeathed Mrs. Newport in
the will is not to be paid her till 1915,
which is the time he directs that his in
terest in the firm of jeremiah Smith &
Sons shall remain.

The splendid steel steamer New

popular one. A fine orchestra will be
on board. Restaurant service will be
provided In the dining room Of the boat
while a cafe and lunch counter will be

Flynn gives Out Statement.

President Ed Flynn of the United Mine Workers of America, Alabama Di- vision No. 20. today gave out the fol- lowing sttement:
 My information Is that the coal pro- duction in Alabama is on the decline. am informed reliably that the fur mace and rolling mills operators are re- ceiving coal to operate their plants from non-union mines and in some in- stances from mines where a temporary contract has been made with union miners. I shall make an investigation of this condition and shall endeavor to stop the shipment of coal mined by union men to plants operated by com panies fighting the union."
 MT. Flynn stated that he was further informed that the coal being mined with non-union men was not very clean.
 The Birmingham rolling mills will consume something like sixteen cars of coal when 1t starts up on Monday Pro- vision has been made for a full supply of coal for this plant already. At the offices of the operators the statement was given out today that the strike is a matter of history now and the mines are being operated right along, the coal production increasing every day.

 The most interesting feature of the meeting was an address by Professor c. W. Daugette, principal of the Jack sonviiie Normal school. His topic was Professional Training of Teachers" 1t is as essentialsfor a teacher to be thoroughly grounded in his life-work as 1t is for a lawyer or a doctor or . minister. He said the newspaper was one of the best means of educating teachers. as 1t is the daily record of history and advised teachers to sub scribe for newspapers and read them to their pupils.
 In the discussion which followed the address, Professor c. V. Allgood pre- dicted that the time would come when person without . normal school cer- tificate would not be allowed to teach in Alabama.
 Mrs. S. H. F. Tarrant said she would be in favor of such law If it pro- vided that persons who had taught suc- cessfully for six years are to be ex- empted from examination thereafter.

AT BIJOU THEATRE.
Much Small Arms in "The James Boys
 in Missouri.

In Missouri.
 ''rhe James Boys in Missouri" was produced by an armed company at the Bijou Theatre last night before a large and highly enthusiastic audience.
 Whenever Jesse knocked the leading villain down and hissed You cur-r-ri'' the audience rose up and shouted in delight. Long, shining pistols flashed at all times and gleaming bowie knives were drawn whenever occasion re- quired by those who had no revolvers. With the principals carrying two big pistols. 1t could not be supposed that everybody could have one as the man. agement was not expected to put all of it's money into firearms. The bill for cartridges alone at every perform anee is no small item and the company is not playing the great melo- drama for its health.
 For two out of the five acts not a shot was fired. the only man killed that far having been gouged in the abdomen with a big bowie knife. But the audience sat in patient expectation and with bated breath waited for the coming slaughter. IL came at the climax of the third act when the rob- bers held up the limited express, blew open a safe with dynamite and had q desperate encounter with the brave James boys.
 The fusilade was something terrific. The men aimed their pistols at the floor so as not to blow powder in their eyes hut the bullets took effect and practi- cally the entire robber band was ex- terminated.
 The theatre was filled with smoke which went into the nostrils of the au- dience. but they merely coughed and waited to see the end
 The play was well staged and cos tuned and the audience got what it expected and went away satisfied with the entertainment.
 Hoyt's Comedy Company will begin a weeks engagement Monday night.
