Charges That New York Aldermen Set
 Price for Franchise.

New York, May 10.-Alderman Me-
 Call, the democratic leader of the board
 of aldermen, at to-day's meeting of the board offered resolution calling for the appointment of committee to in lquire into the allegations that some consideration has been demanded from the New York and Portchester Rail- road company for favorable consider ation of it's proposed franchise. The resolution, which was adopted, calls for Ia committee of seven members of the board to conduct the Investigations.
 President Gottshall, of the Portches-
 ter railroad, to-day sent a letter to the
 board of aldermen denying that any all derman or any representative of the
 board had made any request of any
 representative of the New York and
 Pcrtchester railroad to give any infor-
 nation whatever in relation to the com pany.
 President Gottshall concluded his let
 ter with an offer to place before the
 board any information it desired about the New York and Portchester Rail-

MEMORABLE CONDITIONS.
Crop Report of the Department of
 Agriculture.


 Washington, May 1O.-Returns to the chief of the bureau of statistics of the department of agriculture made up Ito May 1 show that the area under winter wheat in cultivation on that date to have been 27.0Ss.5OO acres. This lis 4,Ss2.7O0 acres, of 15.4 per cent. less than the area sown last fall and 5,427,- 900 acres, or 16.7 per cent. less than the area of winter wheat harvested last year. Of this abandonment Indiana reports O4,0OO, Kansas 713,000, Ohio 75,0OO, California (mainly the usual cutting for hay) Ss1,O00, Oklahoma S7S.OOO Texas 299,0 1000, Illinois 269, 1000, Michigan 259,O0O. Nebraska 21S,00O and Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Missouri each between 10000 and 100000 acres It is a noteworthy fact that the whole of the thirty-one states having more or less winter wheat under cultivation, report some abandonment of acreage.
 For the 27.0S3,500 acres remaining un- der cultivation the average condition on May 1 was f6.5. which is identical with that reported on April for the entire acreage sown. The general con- dition averages reported on May 1, 1903, and May 1, 1902, were respective ly 92.6 and 76.4, the mean of the May averages of the late ten years being S42.
 The available records of the depart ment show for no preceding year such uniformity of unfavorable conditions as is reported this month.

CHARGED WITH WENTz MURDER
Warrants Served on Two Men-The
 Coroner's Inquest.

Knoxville Tenn, May 1O-Warants were served to-day on Silas Ison and Tom Wright, prisoners in jail at Taze- well, Tenn, charging them with the murder of E. l.. Wentz, the young mill iionaire, whose body was found near Big Stone Gap last Sunday. The two men were being held in jail on the |carge of being fugitives from justice, awaiting orders from Virginia. They were first suspected of being the mur- ders of Wentz because riding suit similar to one worn by Wentz when he went riding was fond in their quarters in the mountains. This suit had blood stains on it. Wentz, it is said, was strongly opposed to these men running a blind tiger in Wise county, Virginia.
 Bristol, Va., May 10.-The shrunken and decomposed body of Edward l.. Wentz was literally taken to pieces this afternoon by physicians and de- tectives, in the course of the coroner's inquest.
 The startling feature of the inquest to-day was the discovery of .32-calibre pistol ball in the body, which might have been discharged from an empty pistol of the same calibre found eigh- teen feet from the remains. The ball had passed through the fifth rib, enter ing the front, had penetrated the heart. a back rib, and lodged in the muscles of the back.
 The right hand was found missing and was probably carried away by wild beasts. A white pearl button, which could not have belonged to the murder ed man, was found nearby.
 There is a great difference of opinion as to the cause of Wentzs death, whether accident, suicide or murder.

NrW JERSEY CONVENTION.
Enthusiastic and Endorse
 President Roosexelt.

Trenton. N. J., May 1O.-The repub- lican state convention here to-day to elect delegates for the national conven- tion in Chicago on June q was unusii- ally enthusiastic, considering that there were no contests of importance, and that the results of the convention had already been discounted. The platform adopted was a strong endorsement of the republican national and state ad- ministrations, and indirectly favored the nomination of President Roosevelt, although in keeping with the policy that has always prevailed in this state, the delegates were not instructed. The mention of President Roosevelt's name both by Chairman Kean and in the res- olutions brought forth hearty applause

Connecticut MiserIy in Expenditures
 for Commemorating Events.

Hartford, May 1o.-The fact that the state of Connecticut has not spent one cent during the past fifteen years for the commemoration of Revolutionary events, except on the Putnam camp at Bedding, was commented upon at the annual meeting of the Sons of the American Revolution, held here to-day by President Jonathan Trumbull in his address. He thought the next general assembly should be memorialized for appropriate action in this field. The meeting was held at the board of trade rooms.
 The report of the treasurer, William E. Chandler, of New Haven, showed a balance on hand of s759.7S at the end of the year, the receipts for the twelve months being $3,226.71.

 In regard to the labor troubles on the New Haven road President AIellen stat ed yesterday:
 T returned from the west yesterday afternoon and find reports indicating that the troubles between the various shop men and the company have been adjusted. Many local grievances have been brought to the attention of the infringement, which were quickly reme- died to the satisfaction of the men. In view of the reductions being enforced by other large railroads in this vicinity, and it being shown to the committee that this company was paying the high est rate of wages of any road in this territory, and that tHe business pros poets were far from encouraging, the question of an advance in wages was dropped.
 Tt is pleasing to learn the interviews between the committees and our ofIici- als developed mutual respect, that nei- ther party knew it all, that the confer- ences developed many abuses unknown to the higher officials. and were produc- tive of good to both sides.
 Tt was a matter of keen regret to me personally on my return to New England to have for the first time in my official life a serious disagreement with employees of any class working for "a company with whose affairs I was charged, and only wish the boilermak- CTS who have left our service for in- sufficient cause should have exercised the same degree of conservatism as the other committees, and considered both sides of a question fraught with many difficulties, and have avoided the ne- cessity their precipitate action has forc- ed upon us of filling their places from the outside"

SUITS FOR FAILURE
 TO FILE INVENTORIES
WRTTS SERTED ON TARDY ES-
 TATE ADMINISTRATORS.

-~~ of Bridgeport Through a Law Firm
 of That City-Persons in WaIling-
 ford, Waterbury and Danbury Affect
 edit is Claimed They Have Not
 Filed Their Inventories within the Required Time.
 wallingford, May 10-A large num- Der of writs issued from the common pleas court at Bridgeport are being served in New Haven county by deputy sheriffs against the administrators of estates. who, according to the writs. have failed to conform to the probate law requiring the filing of inventories within two months of the date of ap- pointment and acceptance of their trust las administrator. The plaintiff is D. Preston Atwood of Bridgeport It is said that upwards of 200 writs are being served in this county alone Atwood claims SEQ a month for twelve months prior to the issuance of the writs in each case as compensation. It is un- derstood that he brings the suits under a law, advantage of which has not heretofore been taken. The plaintiff is representa- by Phelan, Toomey & Phe- Ian of Bridgeport.
 "a fc,. GIL no Mallory of New Haven and Deputy Sheriff Wirck of Bridgeport served a large numoer of papers in civil suits in Waterbury to-day against certain ad- ministrators who have neglected to comply with the statutes and file in-. ventory accounts D. Preston Atwood of Bridgeport is named as plaintiff.
 Danbury, May 10.-A sensation was created in this city to-day when Dep uty Sheriff Doolan of Bridgeport, act ing for Bridgeport law firm, began wholesale service of suits against per sons who have been administrators or executors of estates of deceased per- sons, and who have failed to file in- ventories of the property of such es- tates within the sixty days specified bv the statutes. The statutes provide that any person may bring suit against such administrators or executors and recov- CT S20 for each month that the inven- tory remains unified, not to exceed one year.
 The plaintiff named in the suits is D. Preston Atwood. No such person appears to be known to the defendants in any of the cases. Judge Hopkins of the probate court expressed great surprise when informed of the suits. He said that it had been customary in cases where estates were small and could not afford the expense to waive the inventory formality, orten for the purpose of giving widows and orphans the benefit of what little there was in the estates. Early this afternoon about fifteen suits had been reported at the probate office and the attorneys of the city had been informed of sever- al others.
 It was reported at the probate office that Sheriff Doolan had about 100 writs in his possession. It is said, though that similar suits are to be brought in other parts of the state.
