HEARD IN PASSING.

That advance story that President Roosevelt is to take the stump in Inidana, for Taft and sherman, would no doubt have caused such a furry, had not the announcement been made during the heated term -Middletown Press.
 There does not seem to, be any reason to fear that the Independence league will cut much of figure ln politics in this state, in spite or the attempts that are being made to stir up some enthusiasm for Hearsts or ganization.-NeW London Day. As MT Bryans speech of accept ance is to be a reply to the address which Mir Taft will make at his sum- mer resort in Virginia on July 2S, the democratic notification ceremony will not take place until the middle of August. There will be about ten weeks of brisk campaigning, and that will be quite enough for most of us. Hartford Times.
 MT Roosevelt's order changing the name of the San Jacinto National Forest 10 the Cleveland National Forest is a graceful tribute to the memory of the late eX-president. The forest will remain a living me- morial to the president who first rec ognized the moral obligation resting on the nation of preserving these vanishing gifts of nature.-New York World.
 Automobile and carriage manu- lecturers. along with the men of the allied vehicle industries, are giving very serious consideration to the question of the future supply of hickory timber. This wood, which is one of the most important of all woods, since no satisfactory plays a more important part among the commercial timbers than many people realize.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 On August 1st the Lackawanna railroad will set an army of men at work to construct cutoff which it to shorten the distance between Lake Hopatcong and Deleware Water Gap by about II miles, It will cost the road $11, ,000.000 all tblu, Uul VIII save Hdil all HOui dt the cost of about s400.000 minute.

 Despite the depression that has existed of late in the cotton manu- featuring induatry. it is said that plans are on foot to build a new plant either in Fall River or New Bedford, and there is considerable rivalry between the two cities to de- termine the location, As an in- dex of confidence in reviving pros perty this announcement is not un- welcome, but 1t Is somewhat sur prising in view ofth fact that many cotton concerns but a short time ago faced the necessity of re- ducing wages or running on part time.-Springfield Union.

The Wall street bankers. it is said. are going to put up 2 record break ing campaign fund for that great and good man. Taft. although he would rather they would not be so public about it. Isaac Seligman said just before leaving for a trip to Flu rope that prosperity will follow the election, if NIT Taft is president. He believed that American politics will see the greatest victory for the rspub- licsn party that it ever has known |" Of course. this great republican vic tory. if it mater1alizss. pilI be fol- lowed by q still greater prosperity for the Wall street interests. or they would not be so enthusiastic about it No wonder the republican lead CTS refused to allow the publicity bill 10 pass the senate and refused 10 endorse publicity of campaign contributions ia their national plat form.

It seems too bad from republican standpoint that there are not half a dozen more places in the congress of the United States for Connecticut men. At least that number of avail able republicans are patiently wait ing for a chance to see Washington and help make our laws. Every campaign several candidates bob up for the places held by the lucky ones. General Dwight of Hartford Is now after the place held by Congressman Henry. In the second district all sorts of schemes have been suggest ed to get rid of Uncle Nehemiah Sperry. but they fade away, and the Elm city man, who has just cele- brated his birthday, is in the rum ming and will be a candidate when his term expires.

Gradually democrats are coming back to the fold. One of the old war horse democrats of the state, a man who stands high among his fei- low men, and one who has attended many state conventions, says he will vote for Bryan next fall. He is so- called gold democrat, one of those that went astray in 1896, and has been wandering aimlessly about ever since. He will line up this time against the common enemy and vote the democratic ticket. There is hope for the Hartford Times yet.

ODD POINT INVOLVED IN
WILL PROBATION CONTEST
Art Dealer Leaves Bosom Friend His
Life Insurance, Then Strikes
Out Request as "a
Mistake"

The will of A. B. Cameron, an old
Scotchman who died in Los Angeles
October 2, 1907, was the subject yes
terday of a contest in the probate
division of the superior court, the con-
sideration of which involves some pc
culiar and, so far as known, hereto
fore unconsidered points of law.
Cameron's will is dated January 9,
1906, and disposes of property valued
at about $4,000, the executors named be-
ing w. B. Miner of Los Angeles, s. II.
Lindsay of Ontario, Canada, and Ar
thur Madison of Santa Barbara.
The contest was filed by Miner. who
claims $4,000 life insurance. Miner and
Cameron, the latter an eccentric bache-
lor, proprietor of an art and cur1o
shop on Sixty-fifth street were bosom
friends until short time preceding the
art dealers death. They had Travelled
extensively through Europe seeking
art treasures, and so great was the
admiration felt by Cameron for his
friend that he took out an insurance
policy in his favor, making the dis
position of it a provision of the VIII.
Six months after the will was drawn
up the men became estranged and
Cameron drew a pen through Miners
name on the will, inserting the state
ment that he had made mistake, ana
cutting off his former friend entirely.
Whether the document shall be con-
sidered as a Photographic will, the in
serted statement of Cameron regarded
as a codicil or the instrument without
effect must be decided by the court,
which continued the matter until Sep
TENDER Is.

NEW DIFFICULTY ARISES IN
FRANCIS MURPHY'S ESTATE
Body of Great Temperance Leader
May Have to Be Moved Because
Widow Objects to the
Funeral Bill

Although the differences which re-
Gently had arisen between the heirs OF
the late Francis Murphy were settled
yesterday by an agreement to allow
the sale of his Home Telephone bonds
in order that debts might be liquidated,
another difficulty presented itself which
may terminate in the removal of the
great temperance reformer's remains
from their resting place in Rosedale
cemetery to a smaller lot.
1t was agreed yesterday that eight
bonds and twenty shares of Tome Tele-
phone stock should be sold to liqu1date
the debts of the estate the widow con-
senting to this providing an interest IN
Indiana property left by the reformer
to pay outstanding bills should pc
turned over to her
1t was then brought out that, follow
ing the death of Francis Murphy, his
brother, Edward Murphy of Philadel-
phia, had purchased a burial lot IN
Rosedale cemetery for $1,000, later send
ing a bill to the estate for that amount.
The widow has protested against the
payment of this sum, claiming the es-
tate is too poor to warrant an eXpend-
iture of the money, and the court called
attention of all parties to the fact'that
he is permitted only to allow neces-
sary and reasonable burial expenses.
An effort, it is said, is being made to
settle the matter amicably out of court,
and it Is probable the deficiency be-
tween the amount the widow claims
should be paid and that asked by the
reformer's brother win be made up by
the heirs.

Charging Alienation and Marriage
for spite-$1o,ooo Dam-
ages Asked

That a mans mother alienated the
affections of her son from his bride
was the basis for suit called in the
superior court yesterday, but which
did not go to trial, the woman who
brought the action failing to appear,
either in person or through counsel. +.
The suit was that of Elizabeth N.
Gibbs, who September 10, 1906, was
married to Dale w. Gibbs, a 20-year-
old youth, who a month later left his
wife, saying he had discovered his
mistake and that he had been in
weighed into the marriage while in an
intoxicated condition.
Gibbs and the woman he married
became acquainted at a boarding
house, where Gibbs was staying while
the mans mother was on an eastern
trip.
The woman, it is said, became piqued
as the result of a quarrel between her.

whom she was engaged, and with the
remark that she could find some
other man who would marry her." laid
her plans, according to papers in the
case, to win the affections of young
Gibbs.
Upon the mothers return Gibbs again
took up his residence at the family
home and the suit charging alienation

Mayr said his suspicious were further
aroused in December, when he found
the F<iefer letter and Mrs. Mayr's ad.
dress book containing the name of
Mentors, said to have been assumed by
Joseph Calm.
At this point Mayr volunteered the
information in connection with an ex-
PLANTATION regarding a civil suit in chi
cago that he still had property in tnat
city. Mrs. Mayr's counsel was quick
to take advantage of the statement,
insisting on cross-examining the VIII
ness on this point, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that a stipulation had
been agreed upon that the question OF
property should not be touched upon
at this trial, the court ruled that 1t
was proper to examine the witness, as
the statement had been made sponta-
neously and Of free will.
Mrs. Mayr's attorney, however, la1d
the matter aside promising to take 1t
up later.
Not an Ardent SuItor
The prenuptial days of the couple
were inquired into, as were also Mrs.
Mayrs finances prior to her marriage.
"When we were associating previous
to our marriage" said Mayr, "she said
she owed her people $500 and did not
wish to marry for six years, as she
wanted to pay this back and finish her
musical education"
"Then how did you persuade her TO
retreat from her determination" asked
Mrs. Mayr's counsel.
"I don't think 1 persuaded her. be-
Iieve she told her teacher about 1t,
and the latter advised her to marry
! me if it would hedp her in any way"
"Then you did not importune her to

"Weli. a year and a half later she
