Contest to Break Last Testament
Ends in Decision for the
Defendant

Decision in favor of the defendant
was handed down yesterday in the su-
perior court by Judge Gibbs in the suit
of ]. T. REVERE against Alive REVERE
widow of the late Louis REVERE.
The suit was brought to declare void
the will of Louis REVERE, who died in
Los Angeles several months ago. Re
Were was a member of a prominent old
Spanish family and he owned sixty
acres of fine land at Western and JEFF
ferson avenues, valued at 100000.
A short time before his death he
married, and his wife, not having re-
ceived a final decree of divorce at that
time, could not be considered his WIFE
When REVERE died his brother filed a
will dated three years ago in which
all the property was left to the brother
while the last will produced by the
wife gave her the money.
The contest was brought on the
ground that REVERE was incompetent
to make a will.

been discovred.
Mr.. Rhinelander Waldo. young mil

appointed deputy commissioner of
police and assistant to Gen. Bingham,

Last evening Sergt. Benner, in charge
of one of the busiest stations, was sur
prised by a stranger who declared him
self to be the new deputy commissioner.
The sergeant saluted and gave re-
port of the special work being done that
night. The stranger was shown over
the station, made many criticisms, and
his visit was officially noted on the
books.
The real Waldo arrived at police
headquarters this morning and denied
that he had paid any visits to district
stations. The officials who were hoaxed
will be disciplined, and the entire force
is trying to find the impostor.

DR.. Charles Scott. temporary secre-
tary of the simplified spelling board
believes that the way to regulate
"spelling"-for that is the word he
uses-is by a campaign of education
rather than by forcing changes on the
public.

check the continuing error in our
spelling" he said yesterday. I'VE
hope that our board will prove to be
this agency. We will place spelling on
the same plane with everything else
We alter our houses, our clothes and
we even change our religion. Spelling

we should go on year after year with

This matrimonial tangle revolves

was married to her boy chum, Samuel
Scofield in Portchester. She was a
wife in name only and being a very
little girl when her parents moved to
this place she and Sam forgot all about
each other and the wedding.
Edwin Light of South Norwalk fell
in love with Edna last year and she
reciprocated his affection. They went
to Portchester to be married and after
leaving the minister's house she re-
called her old playfellow and the happy
couple went to see Sammy" Scofield.
Scofield was amazed and dazzled by
the beauty of the girl and quick as a

wedding day.
Despairing of ever getting his bride
in name only, Light began an action
for divorce. The girl, much vexed at
her plight, appealed to the courts to
free her from her child marriage. Sam

to see Light removed from the marital
tangle, when he will claim his own wife
