LEGISLATURE TO
CONVENE TODAY
JOHN HOLDER WILL BE ELECTED
SPEAKER AND JOHN Dol
I FEUILLET, CLERK.

Atlanta, Ca, June 22.-On the eve
Of the converting Of the legislature
members Of both the upper and lower
houses are arranging here. Many
rooms at the Piedmont, Kimball and
Aragon have been engaged for those
who are counting on more than their
four per from the state to get along
en- while others have engaged board
at cheaper and less pretentious places
Although there are many familiar
faces TO be seen in the lobby of the
Kimball, there are many members who
are either serving their first terms or
VINO have not been here as represen-
tatives in some years. Several of the
leaders are already here and those
with pet measures to get through are
busy mixing with the lesser lights
as they arrive.
The two houses Will convene on
Wednesday, but for several DAYS
there will be little business transact
ed. Little interest is being mani
tested in the election OF president of
the senate and speaker Of the house.
John NJ Slaton, of Atlanta, elected at
the last election from this district,
viii be the presiding officer of that
body. He has no opposition
Although some OF position has been
apparent to John N. Holder Of Jack
son, for the speakership Of the house.
II Is generally conceded that he win
be elected. Roland Ellis, of Bib. was
counted ON as berg a prominent fig
ure in the race, but 1t was announced
few days ago that Mr.. Ellis had
retired in favor of Mr. Holder, so
that his election is assured. He is
one OF the best-known and one of
the most popular men IN the house
His record is q long and good one and
he is a parliamentarian of ability.
In the senate Charles N. Northeu
viii. as usual. be elected secretary OF
that body, and genial John T Boil
feuillet viii be elected clerk Of the
house. So well have these two ON
GERS attended to their duties and 50
popular ara they that they ere count
ed as fixtures.
On the day after the legislature con-
venes the last message Oh Governor
Smith viii be read and there Is every
indication that it will be an interest
ing communication. The governor has
several important matters that he VIII
call to the attention of the two bodies
and these matters will be handled in
the governors vigorous and charac-
teristic manner.

WESTERLY'S COMPLICATED CASE
Probate Tangle to be Strengthened Out by Attorney D H.
Davis-Eugene Atwood to Utilize His Silk Mill Build
ins-Miss Estee Murray to be District Nurse-Death
of Oliver P. Gavitt.

Attorney Samuel H. Davis, who was
appointed administrator de bonis non,
with will annexed, of the estate CT
Weeden Barber, by Judge Edward M
Burke Of the Westerly probate court,
was formerly pastor OF the Seventh
day Baptist church. but abandoned the
pulpit for the BAR
Mr.. Davis was appointed admins
traitor at the instance of the Seventh
day Baptist missionary society, and
principally to secure a bequest of $500
made by Mr.. Barber to the society to
be used for home missionary work.
Mr. Barber died in 1885. He had two
sons who gave their lives for their
country in the civil war. He was sur
vived by three daughters, one Of them
being Mrs. Butts, executrix of the
estate. Within year after Mr.. Bar
ber's death the executrix filed her final
account in the probate court showing
a balance of $1,015.69. The $500 be-
quest to the missionary society was
not paid as under the will payment
was not to be made until five years
after the death of the testator.
Mrs. Butts died soor thereafter and
her two sisters enjoyed the benefits of
the estate. occupying the Barber home
in Granite street, for the balance of
their lives. AS the estate was not
fully administered, this bequest hav-
ing been unpaid and the records of
the court showing a sum ample for
twice the amount, the appointment of
an administrator de bonis non result
ed. 1t is for him to ascertain the pres
ent condition of the estate and to Sc
cure that $500 legacy for the mission
airy society.
Administrator Davis, in connection
with his appointment will have an
other long forgotten matter to give
consideration. There is a clause in
Mr. BARRIERS will that provides for
an income to the Children's Aid soci-
ETY. in New York and to be used for
aid in the education of negroes
In the south. So far as
known, the aid society has no
knowledge OF this provision and there
fore has never made claim upon the

planned to the board Of trade and the
assistance of that organization solic-
tied. The company has been negoti-
ating for a lease of the portion OF the
Segar mill building, but that is not
considered practical as such a deal
would prevent rental of the balance OF
the building, which is too large for
the uses of the Westerly Silk COM
pany.
While the coming of the Atwood
industry will be welcome. the board
of trade will make every possible eff
fort to keep the present silk concern
The committee will take the matter
up with the Segars and endeayor to
find occupants for that part of the
mill building not wanted by the silk
company. If this cannot be done. al
though the Segars are willing to make
all reasonable concession, the COM
mittee will probably find some other
suitable location, and, if necessary,
perhaps erect a small mill building
suitable for the silk company, for
the committee is determined to make
every endeavor to keep the industries
located here and bring in as manv
new ones as possible. The matter has
been referred with power to the COM
mittee on trades and manufactures,
and William Segar is a member OF
that committee

PRES. M4LueN INTERVIEWED
On the DifferentIaI Rate Question
Boston Need Have No Fear.

Boston, April There n no ques-
ton more Vital TO the railroed interest
than a proper rate adjustment In New
England territory as compared with
New York. said President Charles S.
Mellen of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad company In the
course Of an interview in this city to-
day.
"An railroad arrangements in New
England" he continued ARE fully alive
TO their responsibilities and able TO
handle the situation, so no evil results
will follow any solution OF the present
controversies.
The present differentaai rate s7aua-
ton IS not materially changed from
that which has been under considera-
ton many times In the past twenty
years, and there Is no more occasion
for Boston and New England to be-
come excited about 1t now than in ths
past.
Constant readjustrnezt Is being
urged and will be until the differentials
cease-and Boston need have no fear
that the railroad interests will permit
anything 20 be done that makes for a
worse condition OF affairs than at pres
ent exists"

that the legacy shall be paid to the

cifying that it was to be applied for
missionary work and could be inter-

is in it. but to show to prospective
purchasers the machinery in practical
operation.
The present lessees of the building
are the Westerly Silk Mill company,
with Office and ownership in New

five people and the company desires

ANOTHER BLOW TO
SALOON is GIVEN
Muscatine County Board Finds New
MuIct Petition Is Not Up to
Required Number.

Muscatine will not have saloons for
another year, unless the liquor inter
ests appeal to and are sustained by the
courts in their effort to have their Pc
tition for the return of the saloon in
the city withdrawn from the posses
sion of the county auditor with which
it was filed some time since. The
county board canvassed the petition
yesterday and found it short of the re
quired number of names. TO be of any
effect the petition should have con-
tanned 1862 names. The original petit
ton bore 1903 signatures, but there
were so Withdrawals before it was
canvassed and a dozen names wee
found to be duplicated, bringing the
total down below the requisite num-
Der There were many other objec-
lions against the petition filed by the
Law Enforcement league which were
not taken up by the board. The sa-
loon men say the action of the board
is null, in view of their efforts to Sc
cure the return of the petition prior
to the beginning Of the canvass, the
object being to secure enough addi-
tional names to make it effective.
