Contest Over Weightman Es-
tate, Worth 100000, 900,
Suddenly Postponed.
GJST OF THE ACTION
DEPENDS UPON C0DICIL
One Witness Forced to Admit
Receiving Gift of 100000
From a Beneficiary.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct, 15.-The
great contest inaugurated to have de-
dared invalid the will of William
Weiphtman, the millionaire chemist
who died leaving an estate valued at
about S60,000,000. was called for a
hearing today before Judge Ashman in
the Orphans court.
William Weightman was the founder
Of the Powers g. Weightman firm of
chemists, which since his death has be-
come the Powers Weightma -Rosengar-
ten company. He was known to have
acquired vast fortune. and when he
died the public generally was surprised
to find it was left entirely to his daugh-
ter. Mrs Walker.
The suit TO set aside the will was
instituted by Mrs. Jones -Wister, who
was daughter.in-law of Mr.. Weight
man, Mrs Wlster, on behalf of her
minor daughter, Martha Weightman,
seeks TO prove that Mr. Weightman left
a codicil TO his will amply providing
for his granddaughter and the other
heirs to the estate. Mrs, Walker de:
MES that any such codicil exists, and
last Will and expression of his desires
in the matter.
If the will is broken FIVE grand.
daughters and grandson Of Mr.,
Weightman will be benefited. The case
has attracted considerable attention be-
cause of the social prominence of those
concerned.
Proposed Marriage,
4 sensation was created by Mrs
Wisters declaration that Mr.. Weight
man, who was past so years of age
when. he died, made proposal of mar
rage to her after the death of her hus
band, but that she rejected him and
married Mr.. Wister.
The first witness called by the con-
testant was W. A. Hopper, rs years
credits for Powers s. Weightman, OF
which concern Mr.. Weigbtman was
sole member At first he was an un-
willing witness, and was threatene
with contempt of court for refusing to
answer certain questions He had
been witness to the will. and Mr..
Simpson asked him what money he had
received from Mrs. Walker after the
death Of her father.
His first answer was that he received
MS salary up to the time the firm was
taken over by another company. Then
he admitted receiving 500 for each wear
he was with the firm, or a total OF $3.50
Other employees gifts were at the
same rate.
Following this, after much coaxing
by attorneys, he admitted receiving a
present OF $4,000 from Mrs. Walker.
What else did you get3' asked Mr..
Simpson.
" That is a private NATTER he re-
Piled.
At this juncture the witness was
threatened with contempt of court for
evading answers.
Finally the Judge Informed him that

he was in the hands of the court and he
was Instructed to answer.
Mr., Hooper thereupon said:

This answer caused sensation. and
much loud conversation ensued. After
quiet had been restored the witness
said be received the 100000 about De-

had received gifts from Mrs. Walker,

the signing Of two other paners prior
to the signing of the last will. These,
he believed, were a will and codicil,
but he was not sure.
Weightman Not Insane.
Mr.. Hooper, on cross-examination, ex-
pressed the belief that Mr.. Weight
mans mental condition was perfect at
the time he signed the will in dispute.
Edward T. Davis, private secretary
to Mr.. Weightman, also witnessed the
1895 will. He corroborated the previ-
Weigbtman S mental condition.
Mrs. Walker was then called, She

When asked if there was any further
conversation, then or afterward, she
said there was not, the matter of leav-

case, on motion of attorneys of Mrs

This action caused surprise and there

from that city said:
Mrs. Virginia c. Meredith, Of Cam

Power of Initiative in Home Making. y
Mrs. Meredith presented her thoughts
in a clear, forceful manner, as one
who has a vital message to deliver
1t was one of the fine addresses of the
convention. In part she said:
The home is now in stage OF
transition-the oil trust molds our
candles, the coal trust chops our wood
who asks for reform? Is it the little
girl working in the factory, or the
man who lives in the slum? No, 1t is
the woman who lives in good home,
who wishes to give to those who have
it not the benefit of right living. The
work OF regeneration in the home is
in the hands of the women of today
Mrs. Meredith advocated that the
young girls should be especially fitted
for home-makers by special courses in
our schools, by courses of reading
Sc ,eral books were suggested.

said, lis where beauty is enthroned:
not only in the rugs and pictures, not
in the self-assertion of fine furniture
but in the beauty of conversation, OF
thought in the true beauty of the
soul"
