battle In the settlement Of the $4,000 estate
left by the late Joseph A. Connor. The
munificent iegacies for the propagation OF
the Catholic faith were provided for In
the lost will which Mr.. Conner MADE
last spring, but which has not been found
since his death. Smyth Il Smith have been
retained by the five trustees named to

It Is known a copy is in existence and In
the lands of the attorneys.
Mr.. smyth said Saturday that he had
prepared a petition to file in county court
ASKING for the probating Of the will. 1t
is understood that this will be resisted by
Mr.. Connor's two half-sisters, his niece
and a foster daughter, who has a large
share in tie estate. The heirs have al
ready secured their own appointments to
administer the estate on the grounds no
Will could be found. but when Judge Leslie
made the appointment 1t was with the un-
derstanding that II the will should be dis
covered later the administration proceed
ings might be set aside.
VIII Made Last Spring.
The will in question was made last spring
and was drawn up by Judge Duffle. 1t
makes provision for Mr.. Connor's two half
sisters, Ellen J. O'Conner and Mary J.
Haynes; his niece, Mary c. Sperry, and
Miss Grace Connor, his foster daughter.

expended in establishing. and maintaining
at least five parochial schools in the va
rious pirishes in Omaha to be known as the
Joseph A. Common Parochial schools. for
the education of the children of the church.
Authentic figures as to the value Of the
requests could not be procured for the
reason the requests are in property, the
value Of which Is not known to the trustees,
but 1t Is said the greater part OF the estate
In placed in the trust fund.
Last week the four heirs applied for and
secured the appointment Of the two half.
sisters and the niece as administrator on
the theory Mr.. Connor had destroyed tho

II was stipulated that Miss Grace Conner
was to receive one-fourth Of the estate.
The application estimated the value Of the
estate to be $4,000 but 1t is said to be
considerably larger than that sum.
Mr.. Smyth declined to discuss a question

offered was the original or a copy OF tht

Nebrasknn Replies to Charge that He
Has No Experience in Public Life.
LINCOLN, Oct. 3~.-Speaking last night
before the German Bryan club OF Lincoln
William ]. Bryan answered the criticisms
which had been made of him by Governor
Hughes and other republican leaders, thai
his experience in public life was not suf-
ficient to qualify him for the presidency.
Mr.. Bryan asked his audience: why this
new born zeal for experience?" He cited
Abraham Lincoln, General Grant, James
g. Blaine. Benjamin Harrison and Mr.. Nc
Kinley as having had no particular public
experience previously to their nomination,
and as for Governor Hughes. whom he
said laid special emphasis upon Mr.. Taft's
experience and qualifications, he declared
he had but two Years experience as gov
ernor of the state of New York. and yet
he thought three months ago that he was
as we'll qualified for the presidency as Mr..
Taft.
The democratic candidate maintained that
II he measured up to Governor Hughes in
experience in public life, the governor
ought not to urge my inexperience as an
objection to me-"
Taking up the charge that he may not
make wise appointments II elected to the
presidency, Mr.. Bryan insisted that the
argument should not be made by a repub-
lican because, he said, for the next tive
years at least the senate would be repub-
lcan and would pass Upon all important
appointments, hus sharing in the RESPONSE.
bility II any Objectionable men became OF.
ficials. II am satisfied" he said, that
can find such excellent men that even a
republican senate will not dare to reject
them"

FISHERMAN'S VOTE DID 1T
Patent Enough to silence Admiral
Bob Evans ~TweIve-Inch
Guns.

After the Spanish war, the matter of
,arGet practice became a very live issue
in the navy, and we began to look about
US for a suitable body of water on which
to hold 1t. Owing to the range Of the
heaviest guns, 1t was necessary to have a
clear space of at least eight miles in which
TO fire them. and this must be reasonably
smooth water-the smoother the better.
Menemsha Blight, on the sea side OF
Martha's Vineyard, was a promising spot,
and the North Atlantic squadron twice
held its practice there. Then came the
unexpected. Petitions many yards long,
signed by all sorts and conditions OF men
along the coast. and forwarded by senators
and members Of congress, were re-
ceived at the Navy department requesting
that this practice should cease at once, as
the firing had driven all the good fish to
sea and the ruin Of all fishing industries
would surely follow If we kept on. / was
just then ordered to the squad
ron, and I read some of these petitions
with much interest. One Of them was
signed by over 1900 people purporting to
be fishermen who followed their calling
in Menemsha Blight. My chief OF staff, at
that time Captain Pillsbury. a most able
and distinguished officer, was a Massa-
chusetts man. and, being of an inquisitive
turn OF mind, proceeded to find out what
these complaints really amounted to and
who was making them. II was absolutely
essential that the navy should find some
place for its target practice, and, after
Captain Pillsbury had looked the coast
charts over and made his report. l de-
cided on Cape Cod Bay, off Barnstable, as
the most suitable place.
Upon careful investigation it was found
from the records of the Fish commission
stations in and about Martha's Vineyard
that the run of fish. particularly bluedsh,
had been larger the year after the first
target firing by the squadron than for ten
years previously. Many fishermen who
made a living at their trade testified tc
the same effect, but all OF this testimony
had no effect on the petitions which came
In such numbers and with such backing
that It was plain that the navy would
have 20 quit target firing in Menemshs
Eight and do its work as best Il could al
some other point. Many OF the beach
combers" who signed these petitions hac
