DENIES CLAIM Of
RECONvEYANCE
Cecil Brown as Administrator
Files Answer in
Equity.

Cecil Brown, as administrator of the
estate of Elizabeth Wright, deceased,
has filed an answer to the suit in
equity brought against him as such
administrator jointly with John Has
kins, Jane Franklin and Susan How
ard, the sisters and brother of the
deceased.
The bill alleges that John Wright
being in the fear and expectation of
death in May, 1906, conveyed all his
property, which included a fine line
of local securities, and some choice
real estate, to his wife, with the IN
derstanding that it was to be hers if
he died but if he got well she was to
reconvey it. He recovered from the
illness but has been SO i'll in body and
mind since that he never thought to
ask his wife to reconvey the property
to him, and last January, contrary
to all expectations, she suddenly died.
Now her brother who lives in England,
and her sisters who live in Philadel-
phia, under the statute of descent will
get most of the property.
Brown, as administrator, in his an
swer, admits the fear and expectation
of death, the recovery from dangerous
sickness, and the succeeding illness of
body and mind, and the conveyance
of the property to his wife. But he
denies that there was any condition
of reconveyance, or that after the re-
covery from serious illness there was
any request for a reconveyance.

AN OBJECr LESSON.

1t was mentioned in these columns
yesterday that a young woman who
advertised in Tho Times-Dispatch for
a position as cook received more than
800 replies by mail This shows that
"secondclass matter" makes large
business for ''frst-class natter In the
postal service This one little ad. In
a newspaper caused 900 persons to
write letters, each of which carried a
two-cent stamp. The revenue which
Uncle Sam thus receives from the ad-
vertising columns of the newspapers
and periodicals is enormous; yet some
of his ofticous officials would raise the
rate on newspaper postage. Manfestly
1t would be false economy.

CITY PARKS.

The Times-Dispatch Is gratified that
the Committee on Grounds and Build
ings recognizes the fact that the city
should now be casting around for new
park sites.
The city of Boston will expend during
the next year 100000 for park i'm
provement. 1t is a heavy tax, but the
people get the benefit, and the tax
payers are willing to incur the cost.
What would Boston be without her
Common? 1t is the JOY and pride of
every loyal Bostonian, and. in the hot
season is a comfort beyond compare.
And we doubt not that this great
public garden, in the heart of the city,
has had an abiding influence in pro-
curing other parks for the city.
Richmond is not able to spend $780,
600 year on parks but she is able tc
keep in good condition those which she
already has, and she is able to purchase
new sites in the outlying districts. The
lands should be purchased now. while
they may be had at reasonable price.
We need, and should acquire, new sites,
both in the eastern and western sub
urbs.
