versy of that sort would terminate
successfully. Indeed he has been told
by a number of impartial legislators
that it might be impossible. at least
it would be exceedingly difficult to
prevent the reelection of Mr.. Cannon
as Speaker.
What the President-elect desires Is
thorough-going investigation OF the
tariff situation and such revision as
American industries and the condition
Of the Treasury can stand and the
general good of the average consumer
requires. This, he has been assured
is what the present leaders of the
House and Senate have in contempla-
ton, and he has listened patiently to
the advice given to him that he
should avoid controversy with Mr..
Cannon.

HEARING OF CASE NOW ON.
COMES FROM coNNERsVILLE-
ALLEGED SISTERS USED uN-
DUE INFLUENCE ON DECEASED
TO GET MONEY.

The examination of witnesses for
the plaintiffs was begun in the Martin
Chitwood case in the Wayne circuit
court yesterday afternoon. The jury
was selected after considerable DELHI
Grafton by the attorneys for the liti-
giants. The suit was brought in the
local court on a change of venue from
witnesses from Connersvilie and Fay
cite county, was present at the hear
ing today. .
The plaintiffs are seeking to show
that George Frybarger was insane at
the time he made his will bequeathing
all his property to two sisters, and
that undue influence was exerted upon
him. Tho defense denies the allega-
lions. Those witnesses testifying to-
day for the plaintiffs asserted they be-
lieved Frybarger of unsound mind in
1905, when the will N question was
made. . -.. ...
James Jordan, a carpenter of Con-
nersvflle, testified he formerly was a
member of the police force of that city.
He told Of finding Frybarger drunk in
public ten or twelve times. He said
he always picked the man up from the
sidewalk and secured someone to at
tend him, or started him toward his
home. He said he did not arrest Fry
barger, as he believed him to be q man
Of unsound mind and probably not re-
sponsible for his intoxication.
Other witnesses told of the eccentric
actions Of Frybarger which led them
to believe him an imbecile The
man was deaf and dumb. One witness
told Of the antics performed by the
decedent in the presence OF women.
and said these were attributed to his
mental condition. Charles Martin,
another witness, related several Incl

equal among the districts, as shown by
theauditor's figures. He finds that
the districts have the following vote:
First, 5O,972; Second, 54,935; Third.
45,O37; Fourth, 47,455; Fifth, 63,714;
Sixth. 56.671; Seventh. 1885; Eighth,
6o.778; Ninth. 55,756; Tenth, 675O7;
Eleventh, 56.496; Twelfth, 5000;
Thirteenth, 81 ,1O2.
1t will be seen that some of the dis
tricts have many more votes than
their porportfonate share while others
fall short. The Seventh for instance
has $4,000 more votes than its share,
yet it has one congressman. If there
is a re-apportionment an effort will be
made to give the county a congress
man by itself and join the county to
some other adjoining county and give
the two another congressman. Thus
Marion county would have double re-
presentation. The law does not per-
init county to divide itself for con-
gressional purposes. but it may be
joined to another county.
SxtnS Note ni9Re.
The Sixth is about right in the size
OF its vote. The Tenth is too large
by 10000. The Twelfth district Is
short, while the Thirteenth has some
to spare. The largest increase in the
vote in any district since the last ap-
portionment was 14,71+ in the Seventh
district. The next largest increase
was 5000 in the Fifth.
1t is easy to see that there is room
for many changes in the ma<e-up of
the various districts in order to bring
them all to an average level of popu-
lation, but unless the democrats pre-
sent what the republicans consider
fair bill for the REIMBURSEMENT the
arrangement will continue just as it
Is. If the reapportionment is not
made at the coming session, it cannot
be made for another six years, thus
giving therepublicans the advantage
they have held during the last six
years,

AMATEUR PERFORMANCE.
First of White City Series Draws
 Large and Delighted Audience.

Manager Sam, Specks first anna teur night at the White City was a bowling success. The night was chil- ly and one would naturally have ex- pected that the crowd would be small They evidently knew tho genial Sam s ability to entertain, however and turned out in numbers that far ex- ceeded the expectations of the man agement. Mayor Martin was one of the many delighted guests who enjoy cd the varied and in many instances clever program submitted for tho evening. There were clever stunts by would-be artists vocal selections by coming stars, musical selections that were as varied as the competitors themselves, and dancing of both the graceful and breakdown varieties. Taken all through the entertainment was a credit to all who took part, and augurs well for the future anna teur nights which Manager Speck is arranging throughout the coming White City season.

AIR SHIP AT ROCK
Thousands Watching Final Preparations for Flight Some Interesting
 Facts.

Professor Stroebel and corps of twenty-five special workmen, including electricians, mechanics and aeronauts were busy yesterday completing the final preparations for the flights of Stroebel's famous alrshln. The flights are to begin Monday afternoon, al- though there Is probability that n trial flight may be made tomorrow. Thousands of people watched the men yesterday as they were generating the gas for the imitation of the colossal gas envelope. At the last moment Prof. Stroebel has decided to try an entirely 7,50O feet of hydrogen gas and having q lifting power of 72 pounds to every 1000 cubic feet, This envelope Is 62 feet long and the diameter at and near the center l6 feet. It Is igar-shaped and the ends taper to nothing. The frame work or boom which carries the horsepower, three-cylinder motor is 47 feet long. On this boom rides Aeronaut Hamilton, who, when he goes up here for the first time will have made his 3llth trip in a dirigible bal loon. Hamilton says he can easily nav igate against l6-mile wind and prom ises the people of this section some sensational maneuyers.
 To All the great cigar-shaped bag with hydrogen gas 1t takes about 15 hours. This gas will last during the engagement here. The gas goes through q process which makes 1t almost abso- lutely pure and Is produced by the chemical action of sulphuric acid on iron filings and water.
 The whole alrship proposition as be- ing revealed at the Rock Is intensely interesting and furnishes the first op- portunity for people of New Haven and the state to study and become familiar with aerial navigation.
