RUSSELL
SAGE'S WILL
LEAVES PRACTICALLY ALL HIS
WEALTH TO WIDOW.

NEW YORK, July 25.-The World
tomorrow will say:
Every dollar of Russell Sage's
great fortune is left to Mrs. Sage by a
will made in 1901, except an insig-
nificant bequest made to Mrs. Fannie
Chaplin, of Oneida, N. Y, an only sister,
who died two years ago.
1.-THE will is to be read at the home OF
Mrs. Sage today and will be offered
for probate Immediately. The VIII
will undoubtedly be contested by the
Troy relatives of Mr.. Sage, who will
charge that the 1901 will was made al
ter a mental breakdown on the part
of Mr.. Sage, and that Mrs. Sage ex'
erted undue influence over him in the
distribution of his wealth.
mot one dollar of the fortune is left
to charity. The only contribution Mr.
Sage ever made during his lifetime for
this purpose was when after a years
solicitation by Mrs. Sage he contribute
ed $4,000 to build wing of the Pres
byterian Hospital of which Mrs. Sage
was a Vice President.
1.-THE fortune Of Mr. Sage, which
was popularity believed to be 100000,
600. and even thought to be greater
by the best informed financiers of Wal
Street, amounts to only about $50,
900 0OO."

SUGGESTION FOR LEGIS-
LATIVE TICKET

Editor Columbia Herald:
Maury County viii be called upon
to elect two Representatives for the
County proper, to the Legislature,
which meets Jan. LIST, 1907. Some
very important matters will come be
fore that Legislature, but perhaps
none so important, to the state at
large. as the Temperance question. l
have learned by observation, and in
the light of recent events, that the
time has come. in the history OF the
democratic party, when it must put
forward clean candidates, men with
lclean private lives, broad intelligence,
Integrity Of character; men who can
not be bought; men of courage. In
view of the present condition OF polit-
ical affairs in Tennessee, if the party
does not put forth the right kind OF
men, they certainly will suffer defeat.
l have in my mind two such young
men, now living in our midst, as have
described above. l do not know that
they can be prevailed upon to become
candidates for the Legislature, but If
they can, they will be, in my opinion,
the best Representatives that we have
had for many years.
Mr.. ]. T. Mcknight was reared in
Marshall county, and came into our
midst several years ago to make this
his permanent home. He comes from
one of the old reliable families of
Marshall county. His private life is
above reproach. He has a clean-cut
mind. and is capable of understanding
lall questions that could come before
1.-THE Legislature. He is good lawyer,
a good speaker, and will be match on
1.-THE stump to any man that the Repub-
ilican party can put against him. He is
Iail right on the Temperance and all
lother moral questions
The other gentleman is Mr.. Percy
IChandler He has lived in Mt. Pleas.
amt for several years past. Mr.. Chand-
Her was reared in virginia, Out came
Ito Maury county several years ago to
make this his permanent home. He
lis a lawyer of ability, has been very
successful in his profession; a man
of intellect and fine education. His
Ipriyate life is clean and above re
proach. He, too, is all right on the
Temperance and all other moral CUES
lions. He is a forceful speaker, and
will be a match for any Republican
antagonist. l have heard a number
of citizens speak of these two gentle
men in connection with the Legisla
ture, and express their desire that they
would consent to become candidates
Yours truly,
DEMOCRAT.

cRAPsEY TRIAL ENDED.
All Reports as to the Verdict Are
Merely Guesswork,


Merely Guesswork.
Batavia, N. Y, May 1.-THE &C.
claslastical court which tried DR.
Algernon A. Crapsey, rector of st.
Andrews church of Rochester,, on a
charge of heresy, ended it's work dur
Ing the day when verdict was
reached and the document containing
the findings Of the court was drawn
up, signed and forwarded to Bishop
Walker at Buffalo. Until the verdict
has been reviewed by Bishop Walker
no official information as to it's con-
tents can be secured. The published
statement to the effect that the court
had voted four to one against DR..
Crapsey on both specifications is de-
clared to be only guesswork.
A remark dropped by the Rev.
Charles H.. Boynton of Geneseo to the
clerk of the court has led MANY to be-
lieve that the court was unanimous
for Dr.. Crapsey's conviction but diff
fered as to the degree of punishment.
In answer to question as to whether
the president and clerk would sign
the findings DR.. Boynton replied:
"They all will sign them"
Bishop Walker has the power to
modify the sentence, if the verdict is
against DR.. Crapsey, although he Is
without power to increase it.

Of the Northwestern National Life
Insurance com. any, who is
charged with grand larceny in
having appropriated to his own
use $3, 500 Of the funds of the

The testimony given 10y Bechtel
was sensational in the extreme.
The charge OF Bechtel that
Former Insurance Commissioner
Shaughnessy of Minnesota had
accepted brlbe of $1,000 for a
favorable report on the proposed
consolidation of the Northwest
ern Mutual and National Life
association, had been considered
by the grand jury which brought
an Indictment against Bechtel,
and in it's report the grand jury
severely reprobated the alleged
conduct Of the insurance COM
missioner, but said that he was
exempt from prosecution because
of the statute of limitations.
Other sensational statements
made by Bechtel while on the
stand related to personal profits
made by transactions supposedly
carried on for the benefit of the
company. The company con-
tracted to REIN burSe the Iowa
company, but instead Of doing so,
Btchtel turned the contract over
to the California company at a
profit of $4,000.

DENIES EXISTENCE OF TRUST.
President OF Proprietary Association
Considers Suit Joke.

New York. May 11.-The Proprietary
Association of America, one of the de-
PENDANTS in the petition filed by Attor-
ney General Moody for an injunction
to restrain certain associations, cor
.porations and individuals from con-
trolling prices in the drug trade, is
holding it's annual meeting in this city.
During the days session the announce
ment from Washington Of the attorney
generals action was read to the mem
bers. Everybody in the association,
said President Cheney afterward, took
the petition as joke.
How can they enjoin us from doing
what we are not doing?" he asked
"'Fhe W.Sole thing is absurd. There is
no cl, thing as drug trust. The
phrase Is misnomer-coined from
ignorance of the real functions Of the
Proprietary association.
I'VE had nearly adjourned for the
day." President Cheney continued.
when somebody came into the room
and showed me this article about this
petition for an injunction had it
read aloud to the meeting and we all
had a good laugh over it, There never
has been any sort of conspiracy to
keep prices either up or down. =

Cromwell, Roger L. Farnham and Min
lister Obald of the republic of Pan
anna to qualify these men to serve as
directors Senator Morgan during the
day continued the examination of Mr..
Cromwell before the senate committee
on interoceanic canals. Mr.. Cromwell
asserted that the transfer was neces-
sary to the protection and preserva-
tlon of the interests Of the government
in order to continue the corporation
under it's New York charter, which
provided for the election of board of
directors of bona fide stockholders.
Senator Morgan took issue with this
statement, saying he could see no rea-
son why all of the shares should not
have been left in the United States
treasury and some way found to have
dispensed with the services of these
directors.
AS the examination proceeded many
OF Mr.. Cromwell's answers were guard
ed by legal technicalities and Senator
Morgan said sharply:
Il shall warn you that l intend to
examine Secretary Taft about this. l
want you to be careful in your answers
and to tell the truth" a 49,.

Senator Taliaferro was addressing
Chairman Millard in protest against
the language of the witness and every
thing was confusion. .-. .-
When order had been restored Mr..
Cromwell started to review the trans

said he was proud of his success.
