BREE WILL ADMITTED.

The will of the late Senator James F. Bree was admitted to probate in the probate court yesterday. There was no contest, as was made known as soon as Senator Kennedy, of Naugatuck, coun- sel. for Mrs. Bree, arose. There is no objection on the part of Mrs. Bree, and never has been," said Senator Kennedy to the court.
 Colonel John G. Healy and Frank A. I4eddy were named as appraisers. Sem ator Bree left an estate which, with his life insurance, amounts to from $12,OOO to $14, 900. By his will the widow gets one-fourth of the estate; his brother, William Bree, Yale student, receives s7OO to help him complete his education, and the rest goes to the children of the testator.
 The report was that Mrs. Bree ob- iected to the bequest of $70O to William Bree, but the objection did not materi- alize.
 Attorneys B. E. Lynch and David p, Fitzaerald were other attorneys inter- ested in the case in court.

Local Unions Vote Them Financial
 Support While Strike Lasts.
 The strike of the cigar shippers which virtually is the key to the gitn- ation in the strike of the cigarnakera for more pay, still continues to hold up the cigar business, and from present indications will last some time longer, as all the union organizations in this city have rendered financial support to the girls to keep them out of the shops struck against. The Brewers union has voted $50 to the shippers and also laid a per capita assessment on each mem Der to make a weekly fund. The other unions will do likewise at their meet inss this week. which together with the benefit from the Shippers Ihterna- tional union will give the girls an amount almost equal tc the regular weekly pay.
 The cigar makers themselves stand ready to assist the girls even though they have to deplete their own weekly benefit
 The manufacturers, on the other hand, show no signs whatever of yield ing and say it will be long strike, as far as they are concerned.

OTHER CITY COURT CASES.


 Daniel Makman was fined $2 and costs for being unable to navigate him. self in Webster street.
 Daniel Craig had judgment suspend ed. He started out Sunday looking for something stronger than water to drink. He got 1t, and also got into a mix-up as well. Because he hadn't been before the court in nine years Judge Mathewson dealt leniently with him.
 Daniel T. Collett, arrested Saturday night, was allowed to skidoo on the promise that he would leave the city within two hours.
 John Mcintyre threw up his hands and admitted everything. In view of this fact the court fined him $2 and costs.
 Oscar Cohn, of 22 Gold street, a butcher by trade, was charged with having committed breach of the peace. His wife was the accuser. Cohn did not like the manner in which Mrs. Cohn prepared three fried eggs for him, and he hurled plate, eggs and all on the floor. After that he smashed up several pieces of glassware. The trou- ble between the pair appears to have arisen out of the fact that one of the Cohn children was being treated better than the other three. This was Cohn's second offense. He was fined $5 and costs.

 From the story told by MT. and Mrs. Brennan there was hot time at 7S Webster street Sunday. Their daughter, Mrs. Wilson, during the absence of her husband from the house, had started in to lasso the establishment and pull it up by the roots. To accomplish this she used a carving knife any anything around which she could wind her five fingers.
 After chasing my wife out of doors, J said MT. Brennan, "she charged on me, and l had to defend myself. She Is all WAYS making trouble"
 And look at my wrist, judge" said Mrs. Wilson, as she started for the witness stand, and, beginning he1 speech in the middle of the floor, "he,' pointing at her father, grabbed me by | the wrist and threw me about the

 Daughter-DiyOrce and Bankruptcy
 PrOceedings-YaIe's Twenty-three-
 The Vaughan Case--City Court Cases' Edmund Q. Trowbridge, son-in-laW of the late Judge Harrison, in the pro- bate court yesterday estimated the es- tate of the former judge to be worth $2O0,000 The hearing in the court yes terday was on the qualification ot the executors and the admitting of the will to probate. There was no contest or any indication of any, William b Harrison. who was not mentioned III the will, and Paul w. Harrison, who was bequeathed a small amount III trust, both sons of the deceased, were not represented by counsel.
 The sons were not present ln the nolrt room. According to law, they have a month in which to file an ap- neal from the probating of the will, if they care to dispute the terms or the document.
 As Judge Harrison specified in his will that the executors named were to serve without bonds, the court required a security that would be sufficient only to cover the debts of the estate and the state inheritance tax. Judge CleaVe- land fixed the bond at $1,50O. The exec tutors qualified are Edmund Q. Trow- bridge and Mrs. Harriet W, Harrison, the widow.
 Hayes Q. Trowbrldge, brother of the executor, and Winston J. Trowbridge were named as the appraisers, Freder- iclz s. Burroughs, cashier of the Ma tional Tradesmen's bank, testified that the signature on Judge Harrison's will was correct. Mr Trowbridge said that his estimate of the estate was roughly given. He was accompanied in court by Edmund Zacher, former law part net of Judge Harrison. It was stated that while Judge Harrison and MT Zacher had shared offices for a great many years, for some years past they had not been really partners. Nothing came out to show the extent of Judge Harrison's holding in the Lake Superior corporation. This will appear at th' time the inventory Is filed. The size O the estate will be definitely known a that tinae
