But above all 1t is interesting as an indication that the re epubIicans cannot forever play upon the much touted popularity of Presi- dent Roosevelt. which they invariably do. to throw dust in the eyes of the voters. and blind them to the evils of one party. ring rule in the towns and cities as against strong and aceepta- bIe democratic nominations What has been done in Connecticut can be done in New York and other states. to break the malignant spell of oae party ring rule. and with renewed heart and vigor it behooves demo erats and independent voters every where to czsz about for the best and

MORRIS'S MONEY
Contest Over a Thirty Million Dollar Will Was Settled
 Gut of Court.

Chicago, Oct. 15.-The Tribune to- day says: A $30,000,000 will con test that was argued and settled out of court was disclosed when the last testament of Nelson Morris, the pack CT, was filed for probate.
 As result of this remarkable situ- ation the principal provision of the will has been nullified. Instead of carrying out an agreement which would have held the bulk of the es- tate in trust for at least fifteen years the widow and her four children will divide the property equally among themselves at once. Instead of $5O0,- 900 and an annuity of $15,0O0 dur; ing the next twenty years each of the five principal heirs will receive at once $6,000,0O0 in cash and securi- ties. @ ..
 Ever since Nelson Morris died nearly two months ago a strenuous though friendly debate over his will had been going on in the family. On one side, seeking to abrogate the trust plan under which they would not have come into their inheritance for from 15 to 20 years, were ranged the widow and three of the children Mrs Maurice L. Rothschild, Mrs Henry c. Schwab, and Ira Nelson Morris. On the other side seeking tc carry out the provisions of the will under which he would have been in control of the estate stood Edward Morris, the eldest son and the present head of the Morris Packing corpora tions. It was simply case of diverg- ence of opinion. When long drawn out legal contest was threatened, Ed ward Morris finally met the views of the\rest of the family and an amicable agreement setting aside the trust plan and providing for an immediate division of the property was signed by all the heirs. The business, how ever, will be continued as at presen with Edward in control.

CITY NEWS.

The Langley Furniture Go asked the aid of the detective department to-day to help the firm recover some furniture which had been sold by one of their creditors. Michael Zappone of the west end had purchased stove which had been bought at the Lang ley store but on which there were SIP unpaid. Zappone paid S10 for it and when Detective Colesanto called to- day to tell him that he would have to give it up or pay the balance, ne danced around for further orders. He refused to give up the stove and claimed that the detective was trying to bunco him. He declares that he will pay no more for the stove. The company will in all probability enlist the service of a sheriff to get the stove.
