Annie NJ. Bradley. through her attorneys

an action to break the will Of the late
Senator Brown, whom she shot to death
in Washington. - :" - :.
Her friends here say that such a course
has been contemplated ever since the will:
was opened. The contest will be based
on the written acknowledgment Of Sena-
tor Brown that Mrs. Bradley's two sons
are his own. In his will Brown expressly
disavowed the paternity Of the two chill
dren and stipulated that even If they
were his children they should receive
nothing from his estate. The greater part
of the estate. amounting in all to some
$50, 600. was devised to his son Max and
his daughter Alice
The attack on the will. which has al
ready been admitted to probate. will not

EXCURSIONS.

1t is proposed to make quite an event
of the departure of the American battle
ships for the Pacific from Hampton roads
December 16. The great feet is assem-
bling in Hampton roads, and the sight
of so many ships of war anchored to-
gether is attracting more than the usual
number of autumnal visitors to Fortress
Monroe and neighboring places. The Nor
folk and Washington steamers leaving
this city at $50 every evening give pas
sengers an excellent chance to view the
ships at close range. Visitors to the Ma
tional capital find these boats a con-
venient and delightful means of reach
ing the historically interesting places
about Old Point and Norfolk. Excellence
Of appointments, convenience of schedule
and connections furnish excellent reasons
for this popularity.
Offices for securing staterooms and in
formation are located at 7th street wharf
and at 7O5 14th street, first floor of the
Colorado building.

dence of the members of the association
in the Commissioners was adopted, fol-
lowing short address by Judge Charles
S. Bundy. president. in which he stated
that it is not necessary for association
members to enlist in a crusade against
the gas companies. but to have full conf
dence in the Commissioners
The speaker also commented at length
upon the. effort to cheaper the price and
improve the quality in the District. and
declared that it merited the support of
all good citizens.
DR.. w. l.. Wright called the attention
Of the members to the fact that the
mains of the gas company in Columbia
Heights do not allow sufficient quantity
of gas to be forced through in the early
evenings to supply the demand. He in
troduced resolution. which was adopted

the trouble, if possible. Recent edi-
torials In The Star and other newspapers
of the city relative to the gas question
were commended.
Secretary w. b. Todd asked the asso-
citation to call the attention of the au-
thortties to the urgent need for high

of Florida avenue. In resolution adopted
it was recommended that there be Sc
lected at an early date site for the
school in the territory stretching north
ward from Florida avenue and lying be-
tween nth and 10th streets northwest.
Mr. E. Hilton Jackson, chairman OF the
committee on parks, made a brief address
upon the efforts to secure park at 14th
street and Columbia road, and urged the
association to go on record as desiring the
Commissioners to do all in their power
to have the site mentioned selected for a
park. A motion to that effect prevailed.
Chairman George Simmons of the COM
mittee on streets called attention to the
bad condition of 18th street upon the
heights. During his remarks he said that
the street should be paved from Euclid
street north to Spring road. Mr.. Simmons
also said more cars are needed upon the
18th street car line between the hours of
8 a m. and 6 pm. He stated that the cars
at times are greatly crowded, and that
better facilities should be provided to re-
leve the congestion. The officials of the
Washington Railway and Electric. Com
pany, according to a resolution introduced
and passed, will be asked to remedy the
trouble.
