Remainder of Property, Ex-

IN REAL ESTATE

Judge Henry Stoddard of New Ha-
ven, the legal representative of Yale
university, who returned last week
from a trip to England to look after
Yales legal interests in the settlement
Of the Blount estate, reports that the
value of the property left to Yale Is
larger than was at first estimated and
will probably exceed 100000.
Contrary to the flrst reports, the bulk
of the estate is not In realty, ana
Orleton Manor, the home of the testa-
tor, is in fact appraised at only e1O,0OO
sterling, or about $4,000. OF the rest
of the estate about 10000 sterling Is
in cash and a71,OOo sterling invested
in good securities, representing some
fifty investments in number of coun-
tries some of them in the United
States. The total appraised value of
the estate thus consists of somewhat
over 100000, allowing for legacies.

terest in Yale is shared by his friends
and relatives in England, none of whom
are able to account for it. There are
three hypothesis, none Of them very
satisfactory. The first hypothesis Is
that the burial place of Elihu Yale,
some thirty miles away from Orleton
Manor aroused Mr.. Blount's interest
The second theory is that as Mr..
Blount had expressed interest in the
Rhodes Scholarships, his bequest was
thus turned in an international direc-
ton. The third theory Is that the late
G. w. Egleston, who had brother in
Yale and who founded historical
prize in the university and who also
lived several. years in Herefordshire
some ten miles away from Orleton,
had become acquainted with Mr. Blount
and interested him in Yale university.

New York Man.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2O.-The royal
commission named by the Canadian
government to investigate the causes
that led to the collapse of the Quebec
bridge on August 20, tonight made pub
lie testimony taken here and at the
works of the Phoenix Bridge company
at Phoenixville, which, according to
President Reeves of the Phoenix Bridge
company, places the responsibility for
the catastrophe upon Theodore Cooper

The members of the commission, con-
sisting of Henry Holgate, Professor J,
G.. Kerry and John Galbraith, will not

madam government until after Christ

plica of cord number nine in the Que
bee bridge, which the investigation
seems to show first gave signs of weak
ening. Members Of the commission will
witness the test.

The auto failed to respond to the

The child was prattling in the per-
ambulator near the corner Of Sylvan
and Howard avenues Its sister, eight
or nine years old, was at the rear of
the vehicle pushing.
Suddenly up Howard avenue DASH
ed the runabout, the chauffeur trying
to alter his course by manipulating
the steering gear, which seemed to
have become Unexpectedly disordered.
Instead OF, the machine responding in
the direction the chauffeur desired 1t
made for the sidewalk on which the
/ baby carriage was.
The little girl made a sturdy effort
to move the perambulator out of the
way to avoid contact, but she was not
successful, and the runabout knocked
it over upsetting the child.
The child fell on the sidewalk, and
there were several cuts on its head,
from which the blood profusely

The baby was carried into the drug
store of A. B. Simkin, S86 Howard

FEWER LOCAL AGENTS
Annual Election of Officers
Constitution to be
Revised.

AT the all day session Of the Con
necticut Association of Local Fire In
surance agents. held at the Union
League club yesterday, a resolution
recommending that the boards should
Incorporate in their bylaws such rules
as will eventually bring the represen-
tation Of company in a given locality
down to one agent, was passed. This
resolution is in accordance with simi-
lar ones in other states which have
done great deal to systematic the
fire insurance business and to keep
agents from cutting in upon each 9TH
er's territory. The appeal of the
board of directors of the companies
has been deemed by the Connecticut
agents to be the best way to settle the
difficulty Of overlapping territory
Beside this a general resolution was
passed endorsing the action of the
national association at Richmond in
/ September on the following topics:
The dual and the multiple agents; the
treatment of brokers; the overhead
writing companies; the ownership Of
expirations, and other actions of the
4 national body.
A resolution was passed regulating
the use Of the expiration lists furnish
4 ed on account Of the transfer of agents
4 or In case of remonstrance SO that
& new agents should not use expiration
lists to solicit business of the original
agents.
Another resolution passed was to
! make the legislative committee per-
manent one and to pay the secretary
Of that body salary for his work. It
was decided to have the president ap-
point committee to revise and re-
j print the constitution and bylaws,
and to bring them in at the next
i meeting.

Rev. Michael Fanning's Side
Of Incident Regarding the
Church Collection at
Branford.
THINKS AUDIENCE
APPROVED METHODS
Takes Exception to the State
ment That the Rev. Mr..
Snow "squelched'
Him.

In the following letter addressed IN
the editor of the Journal-Courier the
iRev. Michael flaming, the temperance
Lecturer who was in this city last
Sunday. explains his side Of the trouble
which attended his visit to Branford
in the morning Of that day. He further
takes exception to some of the state
ments made about the AFFAIR which
came from that town
Mr. Fannings letter follows;
I was surprised to find in your paper
today In the Branford correspondence
something Of the matter discussed in
the evening papers Of Monday and
comments by the writer Of that article
which were not justified by the facts
1t Is true that Dr. Dewitt took occasion
on Sunday morning to say things that
reflected on me because of the Offering
taken in his church, which, I think.
with the knowledge he now has of the
matter, he would not say at this time.
and which, II he is the manly gentle.
man I think he is, he will publicly
modify ere long But 1t is not true
that the methods pursued in taking tha
offering, in which DR.. Dewitt took
prominent part, was highly objection
able" Your correspondent says thax
Branford did better than New Haven
In proportion in the matter Of the Of
fering. The fact that an audience of
about 125 people contributed 45.ss
shows they approved the address ana
the method also. No person who con-
tributed to this fund has been known
to find fault.
Nor is 1t true that New Haven
evening paper stated there was kicking
In New Haven over the offerings given
here on Sunday last (tS2.S5. what the
paper alluded to said was: In New
Haven In Ave churches the sum of
$175 was collected by Mr.. Tanning for
his work and there was no kick"
Nor is it true that Mr.. Tanning was
promptly squelched by Rev. r. R
Snow of Guilford. Those who know
Mr.. Snow and myself will enjoy the
unconscious humor Of that assertion.
Mr.. Snow at a union meeting presided
over by the pastor Of another church
undertook to say how we should take
the offering. l simply told the people
we would take no offering at all, but
would present the meeting to Guilford.
Mr.. Snow insisted that the plates bev
passed and I refused to permit 1t. The
audience were so well pleased with my
way, or displeased with Mr. Shows
that they raised the largest cash con-
tribution in proportion to the number

DEMURRAGE LAW
HITS COAL TRADE
Coal Carrying Roads Refuse to
Ship Orders to New Eng
land Points.
NEW HAVEN OFFICIAL
DENIES STATEMENTS
Cold Snap Would Have Caused
Great Suffering in In
land Towns.

The demurrage war between the
New Haven road and the American
Railway association caused by the
refusal of the local company to paw
demurrage rate Of fifty cents a day
on foreign cars held on its tracks is
having an important effect on the
shipping Of coal from the mines by
rail to New England points The
principal roads which carry coal to
the New Haven including the Phil
adelphia and Reading, Lehigh VAL
ley, Central of New Jersey and Erie,
have refused to ship their cars into
the hands Of the local company so
that local coal dealers are being com
PEELED to get their coal by boat in
stead Of rail. This condition Of af-
fairs has been going on since the early
part Of October.
A prominent coal dealer stated last
night that on account of demurrage
rates and the refusal of the New
Haven road to agree to them his
| firm was getting coal by boat that
formerly came by train. He further
SAID that this coal was costing more
than 1t had before and would cost
more than if shipped by rail on ac-
count of the limited facilities for
handling it by boat. A few days ago
there were about sixty coal boats in
port, most of which had brought coal
which would have come under nor
NAL conditions all the way by rail.
The result was an increase in the cost
Of the coal
This dealer stated that he had held
sessions with officials Of the local road
in an endeavor to find out where they
were at but so far had not succeeded
in getting any definite results.
1t is stated that there has been re-
ceived in this city letter addressed
Ito New England retail dealers an

the shipments On account Of the fight
over the demurrage laws.

gave the police no excuse for not pro-

A few days ago Truant Officer Healy
and Detective McAvoy wandered into
the residence Of Genaro quite by acct

about the case, and the police officers
took notice Of the matter and the des-

SPLENDID CONCERT

Themselves With
Credit.
PRAISE DUE TO WILLECKE
Fills a Hard Position Well
Roentgen Plays Like
Veteran,
PRAISE DUE TO WILLECKE

The first Chamber concert of the sea-
son by the Kneisel Quartette took
place last night at the Lampson ly-
ceum In the presence 5f a not large
but select and appreciative audience
The program consisted Of Mozart's
Quartette in D minor two movements
from the quartette in q major by Pag-
anini and Beethoven's major quar-
tette, all played In the musicianly man
ner for which the Kneisel Quartette
has become 50 justly famous.
The performance was of special in
terest however, in that two members
of the quartette made their first bow to
a New Haven audience, Julius Roent-
gen, second violin, and william Will
Ieke, violoncello.
Mr.. Roentgen fills his place like a
veteran quartette player, which he un-
doubtedly Is, and after the newness OF
his surroundings has worn off some
what with the resulting increase Of
ease and confidence he will be a dis
tinct acquisition to the quartette.
Seldom in the musical world is man
called upon to fill a place more difficult
than the position Mr.. Willeke now
holds-dif1lcult because of his prede-
cessor, The expectations he is required
to meet and satisfy are such as might
make a man much older than he lose
courage.
He came, he played and he showed
sterling qualities as an artist, good
judgment as quartette player and
when it is recognized that musicians
judgment must rest on feeling instead
of reason and that feelings are treach-
erous in young man and can only be
refined and made consistent in the
cruclble Of long years and persistent
work, it must be conceded that he ac-
quilted himself with honor.
He had a tendency last night of un-
derstanding the Importance of several
passages particularly in the first two
numbers,
In the Beethoven Quartette, however,
he played beautifully, so we'll In fact
that he made us think that bygone
days were not gone after all.
