BRYAN LOSES IN SUIT.
Is Not Entitled to $4,000 of the Ben.
nett Estate.

New Haven, Coin, Aug. 13.-A de-
cision adverse TO William J.. Bryan In
his contest over the will OF the late
p. S. Bennett of New York and this
city was banded down by the supreme
court of errors after an all day ses-
sion.
The decision virtually denies that
Mr.. Bryan is entitled to the $4,000
mentioned in the sealed letter written
by Mr.. Bennett and addressed to his
widow, to be read by her after his
death. By this letter the widow vas
asked to give $4,000 to Mr.. Bryan and
his family.
The decision sustains the opinion
given by the superior court in the
case last spring and also the decision
of the probate court, before which the
matter was first brought up.

cal attitude. No counsel appointed by the mayor, can either properly or ef- fectively cross s-examine the witnesses. He cannot have the incentive, and nec- essarily will be without the means to conduct any efficient cross examination.
 This is evidently appreciated by the police commissioners who have de- manded and received the right to cross examine any citizen that may appear. although they now refuse to be cross examined by our counsel.
 An attempt was made at your last meeting to ascertain whether you would authorize counsel by us to con- duct such cross-examination We fail- ed to get any definite reply. We now formally ask you to define your future attitude and course, and to reply to the two following questions:
 1st. Will you call all the police com missioners and also such members of the police force as we may suggest, with assurances that they will submit to ross-examination? And
 2nd Will you authorize our counsel to conduct the cross- examination of such witnesses?
 If you reply in the affirmative, our counsel will be present to conduct the cross-examination
 Mir. Webb expects to be represented by William H. Ely and MT. Thrasher by E. P. Arvine. Henry Stoddard will be associate counsel.
 You will appreciate the absolute ne- cessity of any immediate and definite answer to these two inquiries.
 We also add that if either of above requests are declined by you, we shall not think it worth while to take any further part in any examination you see fit to make. In preferring these two re- quests we recognize your absolute right to conduct your examination in any way you see fit, merely observing that in our opinion an examination of such witnesses without the full and exhaus- tive cross-examination by adverse counsel cannot produce any good re- suits and will necessarily be essentially and fundamentally misleading in it's results and that such cross-examination by counsel holding an adversary and critical attitude is so essential that we will not further participate in any other kind of examination by you of the af- fairs of the police department. Respectfully yours,
 Signed: Howard .. Wepp, Samuel P. Thrasher. l Judge Lynde Harrison, chairman of the investigation committee, states that
 as yet no action has been taken by the committee in regard to the communica- | ton.

TRAIN WRECEER SULLIVAN
TO BE BROUGHT TO THIS oITY
 BY DEFECTIVE M,GRATH.

Warrant Against Him Secured by Vice
 President Todd-Evidence AecumuIa-
 ting Against Writer of Threatening
 Letter-Mentions the North Haven
 Track ObstructiOn-Man Has Dark
 Criminal Record.
 First Vice President Percy R. Todd of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road, has secured from one of the grand jurors of North Haven, a warrant for the extradition of M. J. Sullivan, held in New York city for threatening President Mellen of the Consolidated road. Detective McGrath went to New York yesterday morning on orders from Captain Cowles to ap- pear against Sullivan in the Tombs po- lice court, and ask to have him remand ed for several days until acquisition papers can be prepared so that Sllivan may be brought into this state. He is now held as a suspicious character.
 Sullivan is believed to be the man who has been terrorizing people by his threatening letters, and by his talk of dynamite. The attempt to wreck train in North Haven on the night of May 2S and the Mellen train episode will be used as means of putting the fellow in position where he will not be a menace to the welfare of the general public.

 peace except truce, and no outcome of conflict except one side crushing the other. This situation has not devel- oped in the east because both organ- ized labor and the employers have been afraid to fight it out squarely. While struggles elsewhere have been on vaster scale, the spirit of them has been that of the skfrrnish lines which always fall back on the entrenchments whereas the smaller conflict in Colora- do has been an out-and-out pitched bat tle
 The spirit of the far west is to fight; the far westerners do not seek safety in the neutrality which avoids battle, and so, on both sides, the issue which has been avoided by both employers and unionists in the east was squareiy joined here. The heart of the struggle was a question of the existence of or ganized labor whenever it attempted to carry out it's principles to the full. Realizing the nature of this cam paign, and the flat issues involved, the remarkable fact remains that there have been no riots until the explosion of human passion in the Cripple Creek district following the awful concussion of the dynamite mine near Victor, which bore the same relation to organ { ized labor in general as the Goebel as sassination bore to the republicans in Kentucky.
 The state guard has been in the field | continuously, it is true, but not as the | troops have been called out elsewhere. In other states the soldiers were called to suppress riots and disorder, but. jut as the general situation was different from strike conditions in other places, the employment of the state army was different in Colorado.
 Governor Peabody declared the trou- bled districts in state of insurrection and put the military officers in charge of them in advance of any rioting and for the purpose of preventing the strik~ CTS from using any influence whatever to keep the non-union men from work ing.
 Practically, the attitude of the state government was that organized effort to prevent owners of any properties from working them, or stopping any men from working, constitutes insur- rection against the state itself. And the state supreme court has virtually upheld this proposition, so that further resistance to Governor Peabody is use less, and the forcible deportation of un- Iionists can't be prevented, for it is be- 1 ing done by an army. It's the after Imath that will be most vital.
 Thus the condition in Colorado has not been one of lawlessness in the sense l that terror and disorder reigns, but 1t is matter of determining what the law is, which will be threshed out laten when peace is restored. Bullets flew at Victor following the awful crime Of unknown fends, but that is only one small part of great state which, in general, is as peaceful and sweet as a June morning anywhere, but with a dash of mountain ozone to give it pi- quancy.

ARRESTED IN MERIDEN.
H. 0. Trowbridge's Automobile Collides

H. o. Trowbridge's Automobile Collides
 With Coal Cart.
 It was only by chance serious results did not attend the collision between a big Knox touring car, driven by it's owner, Hayes Quincy Trowbridge of this city, and a two horse coal wagon belonging to McWeeney & Sullivan in front of Governor Chamberlain's resi- dence on Colony street in Meriden shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morn ing. As it was, the occupants of the auto, two ladies and a gentleman be- sides the driver, were considerably shaken up and big searchlight on the auto was broken off and damaged and a mud-guard smashed. One of the horses on the wagon was slightly cut on the leg.
 Patrolman Schuerer, who witnessed the accident, arrested MT. Trowbridge and hustled him to police headquarters. There the autoist was required to ex- plain his part in the matter to Chief Van Nostrand. He claimed that the col lision was unavoidable because the ma
 
 chine slipped on the wet pavement and refused to obey the steering apparatus. He left his name and number of the car, N. Y. Il, S65, and was then permitted to proceed on his, way to New Haven by the chief. Chief Van Nostrand saw the car when it passed the station, and says it was not going fast. Bystanders claim that the driver was just passing the wagon when the car slipped and ran directly into one horse besides locking wheels with the wagon. The horses and wagon were dragged along by the ma chine short distance before it was stopped. The police will act if MT. Mo Weeney insists on having something done, but it is not thought that he vii unless his horse shows some injury no known now.

SECOND POLO MATCH.
New Haven Defeated by Team From
 Squadron A.

New Haven Defeated by Team From
 Squadron A.
 The second game in the polo tourney which is being played at Elm City park took place there yesterday afternoon, and was witnessed by hundreds of the elite of the city. The match was one of much importance in that the con testants were teams from the famous Squadron A of New York city and the New Haven team. The New Workers are reputed to be the leaders in this style of game in the country and in consequence much scientific and bril- liant playing was expected.
 There were no disappointments and the game was replete with iterestingi plays splendidly executed and they gave an exhibition of skill which proved decidedly interesting. The vis- iting quartette yesterday was one of the strongest which has ever represent ed the squadron, and they played with Ian evenness and precision which was remarkable.
 The New Haven men played as well las might be expected considering the time they have been organized and the time they have spent in practicing Their work was of much higher order than many of the spectators anticipat- led and they were agreeably surprised by the brilliant work on several oc- casions. One of the advantages which the New Workers had was that they were better mounted and their ponies were faster.
 The final score of the match was in favor of Squadron A with z S-4 points while New Haven had 21-2. Of the New Haveners Baldwin and Stoddard played the better games and were many times the recipients of enthusi- astic applause. In the third period Baldwin made terrific drive and fol- lowed up the advantage so splendidly' lthat he came within a very few feet |of scoring a goal after carrying the ball all the way up the field. Douglass was the star player for the visitors and he was responsible for most of the goal getting:
 There was only one mishap and that was not very serious. In the second period Barrys pony fell down and the rider went under him. Both were up lin a miute, however, and proceeded to lcomplete the game without having suf- fered any apparent injury. Hayes 0. ITrowbridge was timer and J. w. Cur tiss, referee.
