TO ABOLISH TRUST
Anna M. Pardee and Grace Hospital Agree to Ter
 minate it.
LEGAL QUESTION RAISED
Probate, Court Must Determine the Legality of Application
 Made.

The probate court has before it for determination a test case of a peculiar character on which 1t appears there has SD far been no decision in this state. It is an attempt to abolish a trust created under will by the mutual consent of both parties named in the will Mary Jane Pardee of Westville, died some years ago, leaving an estate of the value of about s20,O0O, which her niece, Anna NJ Pardee of Westville. s ster of the writer, Jean Pardee Clark, is to have the life use of and the principal is to go to Grace hospital upon the death 'of the niece named in the trust
 Anna Pirdee and the hospital author ities ii appears have come to an agree ment whereby both plrties are willing to terminate the trust and under this agreement the hospital is to get the principal free from the incumbrance of the life use and Anna Pardee is to re- ceive a certain sum of money in return for giving up her use. The legal aues- tion raised is whether the parties on their agreement have the right to abol- ish the trust thus changing the condi- tions of tho will Attorney Harry w. Asher and Henry G. Newton appeared before the court and argued tho case after which briefs were submitted and the matter taken up by Judge Studley for consideration.
 Gre1t interest legally is felt in the decision as it will establish a precedent in this matter which has not been tried out before. A recent decision of the supreme court on a similar matter held that trust could he assigned but not abolished Albert $, Barcl1y is the trustee in the estate The attorneys for the hospital contend that under the l circumstances in the present case it will be possible to do away with the trust and the outcome is awaited with interest.

Possibility of Hostilities Admit ted by Military and Even by Conservative Rus
 sian Officials.
DUMA PREPARES TO ACT
Ambassadors of Leading Powers Con sider Turkish and Russian Prep aratiOns for War as
 Gigantic Bluff.

St Petersburg, Feb. 1.-The alarm list reports of the possibilities or hos tilities between Russia and Turkey, which have permeated all strata of Russian society, have now assumed the proportions of a veritable war scare, to which the sensational press is devoting Its biggest headlines.
 The situation is taken seriously not only in military circles, but also by conservative politicians M Guchkoff, the leader of the majority in the Duma tonight announced his intention of raising at the next meeting of the commission of national defence the question of the nations readiness for war, which he believes is of most vital importance in view of the news from the Caucasus and all parts of Europe. He also proposes to interpellate the minister of communications on the ability of the railroads, particularly in the Caucasus and rans-Caucassia, to transport troops quickly to the south western frontiers.
 The Duma, according to NJ. Guchkoff, will be guilty of criminal negligence if 1t permits the country again to be drawn into war for which it is wholly unprepared. The surest means to avoid a rupture, he said, is serious prepara- tion for any eventualty
 M Khvostchinsky, the vice president of the commission. also thinks that tho situation is grave and takes issue sharply with number of generals who appeared before the commission and stated that in their opinion the possi- bility of hostilities this year was ex- cluded
 The general staff continues to give the situation the most serious consid- eration, although as yet no reports have been received here regarding movements of troops In the interior. Persons arriving from Siberia. how ever. state that for several months there has been an lnbroken movement of Siberian troops to the Southwest in the direction of the trans Caspian dis trict and Turkestan, from which points they could be most concentrated oil the Turkish frontier.
 Tilis advices to The Associated Press indicate that preparations are steadily making for any eventuality. A compe- tent diplomatic opinion. however, takes more optimistic view.
 The ambassadors of five of the lead Ing powers, when interviewed to-day considered the possibility of hostilities as. being almost out of the question They gave 1t as their opinion that the Turkish mobilization in Asia Minor and the warlke preparations in Russia are rarts in the gigantic game of bluff which neither side would be able to carry to finish on account of the lack of sinews of war. But they cherish nc illusions over the speedy termination oi the Austro- Russian difficulties in the Balkans and look forward for long period of friction before the powers again unite to exert the necessary pres sure of the Sultan.
