MAY BE CONTEST
Over the Will of a Several Times
 Millionaire.

Chicago, Nov "A home for old men and possible contest by the widow are dependent on the contents of the will of the late James c. King, thrice millionaire, who died last Wednesday. The will is to be filed for probate tomorrow.
 Mir King, who was 75 years old at his death, felt great interest in old men. Not long before his death, com menting on the recent address deliv- cred before the Commercial club by Frank A. Vanderlip, the New York banker, he said:
 Some one ought to provide home for the old men who have struggled all their lives without being able to make adequate provision for their old age"
 Mir King left an estate valued at around $3,000.000. His will was drawn five years ago. Even at that time he was interested in old men. Whether he changed 1t so as to provide home for them is not known definitely. Mrs King is said to have received $300,000 from her elderly husband during the three years of her married life, and if the will does not mention her among the benehciaries it is believed she will contest it. s

FATHER sLOCUh IN COURT
Given Seat Beside Judge Robinson
 On the Bench.

Rev Father Slocum was an honored spectator at the trial of Ciriaco Capo- bianco for murder, in the superior court to-day. Soon after II o'clock he sauntered in and took the nearest vacant seat where spectators and wit nesses sit. For few minutes he sat an intent listener to the rippllng Ital- ian language as it flowed in dappled consonants and vowels between the witness on the stand and Rocco Man cini, the interpreter. He closely and interestly watched their nervous gestures, the excited flash of their dark eyes as one failed to understand the other just for the moment. All around him was dark, dark clothes. dark hair, dark eyes, dark complex ions, while his own magnificent head of silvery gray lowered above them. Father Slocum was the most eonsplcu- ous looking man fin the room.
 Suddenly Assistant States Attorney Kellogg turned around and seeing the one white head and interesting face among the motley crowd in the public seats, he gazed intently at 1t moment and just then court took a recess and Mir Kellogg went over 10 the clergy man and after word or two escorted him to Judge Robinson's bench and introduced him. The pleasure was mu- tual and the court invited the priest to a seat beside him. Like Father Slocum. Judge Robinson has a fine head we'll covered with white. and the two made a striking picture looking down upon the scene where a battle for life and death was going on.
 T just dropped in brush up on my NeapolItan accent" said Father Slo- cum. The jury was then called in and the trial resumed and for half an hour Father Slocum listened to the genuine thing from the witness on the stand.

CITY BOARDS
Speculation is Rife as to Who Will be Chosen
 for Places.

A good deal of speculation is being indulged ill regarding the makeup of all the new city boards and especially the department of public safety. Ev- erybody is guessing, but that is all anybody appears to know One man who thinks good deal of the present board said this afternoon he is afraid that they have opened a very wide door, so wide that some will not ap- preciate what it means until they see similar tactics resorted to in the fu- ture. When four or five men," he said, summon an officer before them and haul him over the coals for some thdng entirely aside from his duties as an officer, and which had been settlcd up 10 the satisfaction of all parties concerned, and then fire him, it is hard to see what protection any man has, no matter how well he behaves. I have notion that there are not many men on the force but a board of safety could trump up something against if they wanted to get rid of him and if, as we have been told. the decision of the board is final, where is his redress II bllt ucW bOdlu COlIlllutS luG lbOllcv of correction and wedding out which has been so marked a feature of the present one, how many men now on the force will be there two years hence? I'm not finding fault with what has been done and if we want to be fair i've cannot afford to question the judgment of the new board provid- ed they see fit to make changes, so that the law providing that police man in Waterbury shall hold office un- til removed for cause doesn't mean much when he may be called in any day and discharged for anything whdch in the opinion of the board con stitutes cause. I should like to see ruling of the court on this question, and I think it will go there before the public fully understands the exact meaning of the word cause It can't be possible that cause and 'whim' are synonyms, but it would appear so from the way some interpret the law"

ODDITIES OF THE TELEGRAPH.


 The telegraph operator, seizing a fa- vOrable lull. said: Tn my business a man has strange experiences. It was only yesterday Tilat I sent this mes sage to a White Mountain hotel: Hold room for self and wife.

 -Of course 1T a man made such a proposition we'd call the police hut we're apt to bow to the Miss C0llege Maid with a smile and hand over the S1-50 10 her as if she had asked for only a pair of extra shoe strings. Then while Miss College Maid frUfs or to the matinee to spend our s150 we puzEie our heads ss to whether we have buncoed dad althouxh to be sure. we charge it to his acr0unt.
