sue lseID properly TO Her Lawyer, but
Voluntarily, Says Chanc'r Pitney.
The Chancellor as Ordinary Of the
Prerogative court filed an opinion in
the Cooper win case on January 2nd,
affirming the decree and order Of the
Morris Orphans court in September,
1907, by which the will and codicil of
the late Esther ]. Cooper was admit
ted to probate.
The opinion OF the Orphans court
Judge, Alfred Elmer Mills, was an ex-
haustiye one, covering the facts and
law governing them. In his conclu-
sions he considered the five material
questions involved, viz:
1.-The character and quality of the
testatrix. her physical conditions and
habits Of life.
In regard to these the court de-
clared that there was no suspicion that
she was weak or of unsound mind, but
that she was awoman Of great mental
and physical yigor and kept an active
supervision of her affairs.
The evidence showed she was a
self-reliant woman, with considerable
shrewdness and decision OF character.
2-The nature Of her will with spe
cial regard as to whether it is reason
able and natural in its treatment OF
the natural objects OF her bounty.
The court said the evidence showed
that she had never seen some of her
relatives and that really the only nat
ural objects Of her bounty were Mrs.
Marks, her adopted daugher, and nine
relatives, viz: Mrs. Lydia M. Wolfe,
Clarence Prudden, Henry II. Prud.
den and the six children of the last
named, and these people do not make
any objection to the will.
3-The amount of her property and
her realization of its value.
In regard to this point the court de-
clared that there was 10 doubt 10 its
mind but that she was fully acquant-
ed with the character of her property
and realized it's value.
Her knowledge of the testamen-
tary disposition she had made of her
estate.
The court feels certain that she
knew the contents of her will and cod
icil and the effects of their provisions
5--The question whether, in view OF
all the evidence, her principal bene-
ticiary has succeeded ia sustaining the
burden placed apon him. The court
is satisfied he did not abuse the conf
dence OF the testatrix.
In the opinion of the ordinary the
counsel for the appellants do not
coatroyert the principals of law adopt
ed by the court below as applicable te
the case. The contention is that the
klearned judge erred in bis conclusions
of fact.
"The ordinary is convinced that
those conclusions are fully supported
by the evidence; and that the respon-
dent, Axtell, fairly sustained the bur
den Of showing that the will was the
product not of undue influence, but of
the free and independent judgment
of the testatrix."

TO CONTINUE
MEDICAL WORK
Society for Providing Medical
Attendance to Poor Viii
Keep Up Its Labor.
EBERT S. KIP THE PRESIDENT

With the announcement that George
G. Kip, the founder and for its twenty
years Of existence the president of the
Society for Providing Medical Attend
ance to the Worthy Poor of the Town
ship of Morris, was unable to accept
the presidency for another year the
question arose at the annual meeting
held in the municipal building last
night whether it was best to continue
the society. IL was pointed out that
when Mr.. Kip organized the society
the town had no hospitals and the
question was raised whether the town
should not provide the medical attend
ance now provided by the society. 1t
was pointed out, however, that the
majority Of the cases cared for by the
society were chronic and being such
wo1ld not be received by either of the
hospitals and also the only way the
town could takeup the work would be
through the overseer of the poor and
by commitment to the aims house.
A vote was taken and it was decided
! to continue for another year.
In Mr.. Kip's absence Alderman Au-
gustus L. Revere was elected chairman
of the meeting. The report of Treas
lurer Charles w. Ennis showed receipts
of 1884, IL of which $288 was collected
from members. The disbursements
were $780, 15 of which the society s
physician, DR.. Gustav A. Becker, re-
ceived $3.50, and the Johnson pharmacy
1927 so for drugs. A balance of $1l3.97
remains in the treasury. The report
was audited by Elbert S. Kip and
James W. Russell.
The report<of the executive commit
tee read by Secretary Eugene s. Burke
paid a tribute to President Kip for his
labors in behalf of the society and also
| told of the kind, considerate and faith
full services rendered by DR.. Becker.
There was much less sickness, said the
report, the latter part Of 1908 than
during the first part of the year.
1hCAC WClC ClSlNUCCI now OUoSo dLA
eleven old cases cared for during the
year. The physician made 1876 visits
and had tifty-nine Office calls.
Ebert S. Kip, Eugene S. Burke, the
Rev. Wynant D. Vanderpool, Charles
W. Ennis and the Rev. Thomas B.
Ironside were elected members of the
executive committee.
The advisory committee elected in
cluded John B. Vreeland, John D. Col
lins, Harry 0. Bates, John Denman,
Augustus L. Revere, Monsignor Joseph
M. Flynn Joseph f. Burke, Patrick
Welsh, Bart w. Clifford and Carman
f. Randolph.
Chairman Revere and Secretary
Burke were instructed to prepare suit
able resolutions to be sent to George
G.. Kip expressing the regret of the
society on his withdrawal from the
presidency and notifying him of the
continuance of the work.
After the meeting of the members
the executive committee organized
with the election of Ebert S. Kip as
president, Eugene S. Burke secretary
and Charles W. Ennis treasurer.

NEGROES IN BUSINESS.

One Of the drawbacks among Ne
groes in business is the low economic
ideals Of the race as a whole. Few
, Negroes will attempt to build up a
really large business. When they
have a few hundred dollars income.
as much as they would earn at the
trade or occupation at which they
were formerly employed, they often
then aspire for social rather than
business leadership, and, being better
Of than the great mass of their race.
they merely attempt TO remain the
social leaders" of the group. This
has been the rock on which many
Negro caterers and BARRIERS have
wrecked their business. Then there
is carelessness and indifference 30
business methods. The early co-ope-
ration results very often resulted in
the accumulation of two or three hun
dred dollars of the money Of a dozen
or more individuals; then dissatisfac-
ton followed on the part OF the share
holders because of fancied or real
reasons, often because they were not
receiving fabulous amounts in div
dends, or because they received no div
idend the first month or so; and often
because their unbonded treasurer
misappropriated the funds or left
town. Thus have groerceis, factories
and "syndicates" gone down in nearly
every part Of the country, and a
kind Of distrust is still felt in many
communities.
But each year better trained men
are entering the field, and more sue
css is assured: the day OF wholesale
failure of corporate efforts is rapidly
passing. especially failure because OF
lack Of business knowledge. While
the signs do not point to anything es-
pecially remarkable, yet there is every
evidence in Northern cities that an in
creasing number Of Negroes will build
up businesses catering chiefly to those
Of their own race, and employing a
large number OF their own people.-R.
