MRS. TALLMAN's /
ANSWER HELD
impairment

Presiding Justice Sweetand this morn
ing handed down rescript In the cause
OF Charles r. Tyler. executor of the last
will OF Charles H. Atwood, late OF War
wick, against Emeline f. Tallman, the
Rhode Island Historical society, st. Eliza
beth home, Providence Charitable Fuel
society and others, sustaining the execu-
tors exceptions 20 the answer or MISS
Tallman, a sister of the deceased. The
executor. as there was not personal
property enough left by the teStator to
pay certain pecuniary devises. in the bill
filed asked leave to sell the Brick building
which was part OF the residuary estate
OF which Mrs. Tallman is the legatee.
Mr.. Atwood died on Jan. IL. 1905. and his
will was made in 1901. previous TO his hav-
Ing lost a large sum OF money through his
connection with the Providence Albertype
company. In his will he bequeathed
$S4. 900 in pecuniary legacies, $4,000 being
given TO his sister. Mrs. Tallman Ac-
cording to statements made In Mrs Tall
mans answer she was for very many
years deper dent on his bounty and he
furnished her with the luxuries as we'll as
the necessities of life.
Mrs. Tallman in her answer goes into
details concerning her brothers business
dealings and the amount OF his estate.
and gives something OF her own private
affairs, and then concludes her answer:
honorable court cnat by the true intent
and meaning OF the said will. especially
as construed in the light of the circum-
stances therein set forth and averred, the
said Brc,k building estate is not charge
able with the payment OF the pecuniary
legacies in the said will contained or any
part thereof. nor with any part OF the said
1s~'tators debts. funeral or testamantary
expenses. there being as aforesaid. for the
payment said debts. funeral and testl-
mentary expenses much more than suffi-
cient personal estate not specifically be-
queathed and real estate directed To be
sold, and that upon the decrease of the
said testator, the said BSeck building es-
tate vested in the respondent, by virtue
OF the said will free and clear OF any
charge expressed or implied imposed on
the same thereby.
Presiding Justice Sweetland in the re-
script handed down says: What may
have induced the testator TO except the
Breck building from the direction to sell
the real estate contained In the second
section is not inconsistent with the inten-
tions to charge legacies upon the real
estate and does not appear 10 the court
TO have any connection with that ques-
tion. The Breck building is not made
the subject OF a specific device. IL is In
cluded In the residuary disposition, and
the fact alone that II was not TO be sold
as soon as may be after the testator's
death cannot remove II from the effects
OF the established rule OF judicial con-
struction."
IL is further held that the matters I'm
the answer or Mrs. Tallman are entirely
OF such nature that no issue can be raised
on them and evidence received and that
they are impertinent. The complaints
exceptions are sustained and a decree is
TO be entered to that effect

GLENN REFUSED
ROOSEVELT
PROPOSITION

Raleigh, N. c., July 26.-After a fruit
less conference with Gov. Glenn and the
council Of state. Assistant Attorney Gen.
dent Roosevelt, left here late yesterday
afternoon for Asheville where. IL is stat
ed, he will confer with the officials OF the
Southern railway in regard to the situa-
ton as developed here yesterday.
After the close OF the conference yes
terday afternoon Gov. Glenn gave out n
statement. saying that he has rejected
the proposal submitted by Mr.. Sanford
and had himself made a counter PROPOSE
ton. the substance Of which was that the
railroads must acknowledge the 2A-cent
law and put II In effect before other mat
ters can be considered The governor )
proposal. which he has telegraphed to the
state solicitor at Asheville, is as follows
THAT the 2A-cent rate can be put into
effect at once by the railroads until a final
legal settlement, the state to appeal from
the order OF Judge Pritchard dischargnns
from custody the Southern railway ticker
agents at Asheville; the Southern railway
to appeal TO the supreme court Of North
Carolina in the Wake county case. in
which the company was fined $50, 900. and
II decided against IL to go by writ OF err
ror to the supreme court OF the United
States: each side to cooperate to have
speedily determined; the state at its op-
ton to indict the Atlantic Coast line in
one case for violation OF the rate law !;
all other Indictments to be stopped pend
ing a final determination of the case; the
governor TO advise all people against
bringing penalty suits pending final de-
termination and to ask the people as .
whole TO acquiesce In these arrangements: !:
the injunction suit pending before Judge
Pritchard to be diligently prosecuted with
out the state waiving any question of
jurisdiction"
Being asked as to what he would do In
case the railroads refused to accept the
terms offered. the governor said there was
nothing left for him TO do under his oath
but 10 execute the law as best he could.
He said that at this crisis OF affairs, IL no
amicable adjustment could be made, he
would assemble the legislature In extra
session and lay the whole situation be-
fore II and let that body take such ac-
tion as IL saw fit.
Significance OF the suggestion that tho
legislature be called in extra session lies
in the intimation that IL will be called
upon to deal with questions OF eminent
domain.
Mr.. Sanford asked the governor IL he
desired 10 confer with the railroad author
tiles The governor told him that 10
would be glad to meet representatives OF
the roads and discuss all matters OF de-
tail But the governor further stated to
Mr.. Sanford that II would be useless for
him 10 see the railroad representatives if
they expected him to annul the act OF the
legislature, for that course Is strictly for
bidden by the constitution OF North Caro-
lima.
