UNDUE INFLUENCE CHARGED.
Hearing Begun on Suit to Set Aside
Will of Mrs. A. r. Perkins.

Hearing was commenced today before
Justice Stafford and jury in the Probate
Court of the contest over the will of Mrs
Addie r. Perkins, who died at her home
go IL street northwest, April Z, 1908, leay-
ing will, executed September 4, 1907, by
which she devised estate valued at
$4,000 to Mss Elena S. Chapman, who
dWelt at the same address.
No provision was made in the will for
niece and three nephews, children of
dead brother, who dwell at New London,
Conn.
Through Attorneys III. 3. Moulton and
John RidOut these Connecticut relatives
filed a caveat in which they charged that
Mrs. Perkins was mentally incapable of
executing valid will when the proposed
last testament was signed. They also
charged that she was dominated by Miss
Chapman and that the latter exercised
undue influence in securing will favor
able to herself.
Attorneys Joseph j. Darlington and
William A. Donch, who appear for the
caveatee. deny the charge of undue in
f1uence and claim that Mrs. Perkins was
perfectly competent at the time the will
was executed. They also deny that Miss
Chapman, the beneficiary, is stranger.
as claimed by the contestants, and say
she is a srandniece Of the deceased.

OF Other Types.


The Rexford Smith machine looks rather
| like a Wright or a Curtiss bi-plane
| though it Is bigger than either. 1t has the
| supplementary surfaces of the Curtiss ma
chine for balancing. but it Is said that
| these will be automatically regulated
Some of the finest work shown are three
propellers Of different types made by Spen-
Ger Hunt of Washington. One Of these is
| of the Bleriot type and is finished with a
| polish as fine as that of a piano case.
| All three propellers are designed for diff
! ferent speeds and different power engines
| The Bleriot propeller is so thin and finely
| finished that there is question whether
| it would stand up to the extreme strain
that would result from putting it on a
high-power engine. But it is beautiful
piece of work all the same. The other
two propelers are more substantial and
are designed for lower speeds. All are
excellently balanced.
Made for Hard Work.
The propeller shown by the Aircraft
Construction Company is equally we'll
| balanced. but no attempt has been made
| to give it such high surface polish. 1t
| is made for hard work and is designed to
| stand the pull of fifty-horsepower
| motor. The fact that propellers of good
| construction and design are being made
| in Washington is one OF the best signs OF
| an intelligent interest in aerial navigation
| The power plant is the most important
part of flying machine and the pro-
peller is the most important part of the
power plant. The propellers exhibited
| are all fine pieces of work.
Probably the most interesting display
| among the models is the small machines
| of the Aeroplane Toy Company Of New
York. They have models of all the noted
machines, including Bleriot, Curtiss. Far
man and the little Demoiselle of Santos
Dumont. They are all designed to fly
/ with twisted rubber bands and are strong
/ ~ made 1t Is the first collection of
miniature working fodel aeroplanes that
has ever been seen in Washington.
Woman Exhibits Dirigible Balloon.
| There is another exhibit of bird kites,
also childrens toys. that are quite novel
and are said to fly well.
| LAKE yesterday afternoon there was re
| ceIsed a new addition to the aeronautic
| exhibit in the shape of model dirigible
balloon, the work of Mrs. X. j. Boeckh
| the mother of Everhard H. Boechk. a
Technical High School boy, who has 4
number of models of his own on exhibit
ton. including big tetrahedron that has
| attracted considerable attention. The

TEST OF CHASSIS FRAME.
Advantages of Laminated Wood Used
in Franklin Auto.

The laminated-wood chassis frame az
the Franklin automobile has been sub
jected to tests, it is declared, which bring
out three advantages over steel frames
it Is both lighter and stronger and is more
effective in the absorption of road shock.
In absorbing vibrations due to road in
equalities the wood frame stands by it
SELF a representative of the company
says. "A heavy blow struck on a steel
bar held in the hand brings a quick real
iZation of the power of steel as a trans
mitter of shock. \ similar blow on a baI.
Of wood illustrates how the lighter sub
stance absorbs vibration instead of trans
hitting it to the hand. The laminated-
wood frame of a Franklin automobile is

only piece of work by a woman in the
show, but would attract attention anyhow
by it's finished construction.
The balloon is twelve feet long made
of white silk, and can be driven by pro-
pellers actuated by rubber bands. Owing
to the short time available in making the
model 1t could not he made gas tight The
intention was to make it SO and have the
propellers driven by a small electric
motor, run through flexible cable. but
this plan had to be abandoned. and the
model is merely kept distended by a semi
rigid construction of wires inside. 1t is
altogether a very attractive piece of work
and adds to the variety of the aeronautic
exhibit, which is otherwise confined almost
wholly to heavier-than-air machines.
Program of Music.
The musical program rendered by Prof.
HaIeys Band attracted much attention
last night. The soft, sweet tones could
be heard the entire length of the hall
and did not disturb the representatives
of the various auto firms while talking to
prospective purchasers. The selections to-
day will include the following:

RUNAWAY MISS IS
FOUND IN HAMMOND
The Adventures of Young
Gary Girl Come to End
in Hammond.
POLICE LOOK EVERYWHERE
Miss Carrie Heart Discovered By
Hammond Police in Maine
Hotel.

The end of the world, which Carrie
Heart, the sixteen year old daughter
of Attorney Heart of Gary sought yes
terday when she left her home in quest
of adventure and romance, ended in
Hammond. three hours after she had
taken her departure. She was located
in the Maine Hotel by Chief Austgen,
she having engaged a room there. Up
on request of the father she was taken
to the police station where she was plac-
ed in the women's quarters, to wait
until her father can make arrange.
ments to place her in home for young
girls.
The police in the various cities in
the Calumet region were looking for
her yesterday after the father had
notified the Gary police of her sudden
leave taking.
The first hint that he had that his
daughter had left him and her home
was discovered in a note which he
found his desk in his office where
Carrie was employed his steno-
grapher
Dear Tather:-I am tired of living
in Gary and am going away" the note
read Further inquiry developed the
fact that she had withdrawn her saw
ings, $35, from the bank and that she
had boarded west bound South Shore
line car either for East Chicago OIL
Hammond.
Arriving in Hammond she engaged q
room and went to one of the local
stores where she made number OF
purchases in the way of wearing APP
parel. In front of one of the stores
where she did her shopping she met &
! young man whom she had known ir
Gary. He assisted her in taking hel
bundles to her room at the Maine
Hotel. but Immediately upon arriving
/ there she was located by Chief Austger
who took her in custody.
! The father was notified and arrived
soon after. greatly worried by the con.
duct of his daughter. She refused tc
give him any other answer but tha'
she was tired of living in Gary. The
father argued with her. asking hei
whether she did not appreciate tht
education he had given her. and the
1 fact that he had always encourag ged hel
to enjoy herself in a circle of respect
able friends.
The action of Carrie Heart caused
great surprise among her friends. II
Gary hse is known as an attractive
! girl, and there was apparently no rea
son for her going away.

Another accident occurred in the
hoodooed Taper building this morning
which resulted in bruises to one man
and serious injuries to another.
When temporary stairway, which
had been erected between the second

Prince sustained a fracture of the
right arm and had one rib broken and
Lewandowski was badly bruised. The
injured men were taken to Dr. T. W.
Oberlin's office, where DR.. E. A. ellison,
the first doctor to arrive, took care of
the injured men. Later Emmerling S
ambulance was called and Prince was
taken to the hospital

it was moved the stilts which had for
merly held it were not replaced, and
