WYMAN LEGACY
PRINCETON'S BOON
College Enabled to Settle
Proctor Controversy.

Princeton. y. J.. May 22.-As mem
Der OF the faculty put it this afternoon,
the legacy which fell TO Princeton yes
terday by the Will Of Isaac c. Wyman.
Of Salem, Mass. is big enough 20 cover
the differences Of opinion which led 10
the withdrawal last February OF William
Cooper Proctor's offer Of $4,000 for the
uses Of the graduate school Of Princeton
University.
Mr.. Wyman's bequest, which IS LEFT for
the development Of the graduate school.
according 10 the plans OF Dean Andrew
Z. West. IS varioUsIy estimated at from
100000 10 FIVE times that sum.
Weary of Controversy.
AT first sight" said one OF the leading
professors this evening. the so-called
West faction has occasion for rejoicing
but I have not heard q single member
OF the faculty cry victory for one faction
or defeat FOR another. As a matter OF
fact, we are heartily tired. here n Prince
ton, OF the controversy which led NIr
Proctor 10 withdraw his offer. and we
are quite ready 10 have this Eift accented
with no ado Whatsoever. 7 have heard
nobody intimate that the old contest will
be renewed. The beQuest looks like a
solution OF AL our troubles"
President Woodrow Wilson said that
he could not comment on the situation
until he got a copy OF the will.
Mr.. Wyman, who died last "Wednesday
morning at the age OF eighty-two. was
buried yesterday afternoon IN the family
plot across the Ma-0Iehead boundary
line John ". Raymond. ex-mayor OF
Salem and one Of the trustees named by
Mr.. Wyman, was not willing 70 give an
estimate Of the property. but. as he ex-
pressed IL. there are some millions am
pie for the needs OF the graduate col
lege."
EIRct Amount Unknown.
Mr.. Raymond did not care 20 saw 4
the sum would reach 100000. for the
reason that he does not know exactly
himself, and It VIII be impossible 10
make anything Ike a correct estimate
until appraisers have been appointed and
the property inventor.ed.
Even some OF the Princeton alumni are
not altogether clear whether there is anv
distinction between the Princeton grad
uate school and a graduate college OF
Princeton University. The Wyuan es-
tate is left 10 the graduate COLLEGE or
graduate college OF Princeton
University"

.HANSONS ENTER
CHANCERY COURT
FILE BILL TO RESTRAIN W. r.
JONES FROM TAKING POSSES
SION OF cIoPToN FARM.

F. Hanson, H. B. Hanson and r.
Hanson Monday filed suit in the Chan
Gerry Court to restrain w. H. Jones
and wife from taking immediate pos
session of the Clopton farm and to sci
aside a recent arbitration by the terms
of which the Hansons were awarded
$4,000 damages for the cancellation
of a lease.
The bin sets out that the Hansons
leased from John w. Frierson, guar
dian. the Clopton farm, for term of
five years, beginning Jan. 1, 1909; that
this farm was afterwards bought by
w. H Jones and wife for the sum of
$4,000. 1t states that the lease con-
tanned the following clause: The
lessor also reserves the right to can
eel this lease at the end Of any year
by paying to the lessees the value OF
their unexpired lease at that time, to
be determined by three disinterested
parties, each to select one and the
two thus selected to select a third"
1t is averred that the terms of this
clause were not carried out in the
arbitration in that all of the arbitra-
tors were not disinterested parties,
that no effort was made to ascertain
the value OF the unexpired lease in
that the arbitrator were not familiar
with the lands leased and that they
refused to visit the farm, although
were rendered them for
his purpose; that the arbitrators did |
lot agree in that Mr.. Matthews, one
If the arbitrators, filed a report In |
which he stated that damage should |
,e awarded in the su moi $500; that |
he amount named was entirely made
Iuate, and for many other reasons.
The bill is one of unusual length, and
,oes fully into the terms of the con-
ract.
The arbitrators were R. M. Williams,
AIMED by Mr.. Jones John Matthews,
AIMED by the Hansons and w. B. Dob
ins, selected by the other two.

Physicians as whole do not re-

to look upon them as persons who
come to us when we are sick and

again, or bandage our injuries when
we have been hurt, and even operate
upon us in an emergency, and then
charge us a good price for it, when
compared with the wages of an ordi.

LAWYER J. LOUIS TAYLOR ASSAULTED

While accompanying a lady home on
Tuesday of this week Mr.. Louis Taylor
was assaulted OH North Capitol street
and seriously beaten. From the best evil
dence we are able to gather it appears
that the assault was entirely unprovoked
on the part of Mr.. Taylor, and was the
result of nothing but pure righteousness
on the part of fifteen or sixteen ruffians.
Mr. Taylor's jaw was fractured and he
was otherwise injured about the face.
He was removed to his home, where he
is now confined and where it is said by
physicians he will be compelled to re-
main for several weeks. One Of the
cuIprits was apprehended and is now in
carcerated without bail. Later it was
learned that the individual who is now
langushing in the tolls has confessed
his guilt and implicated nine other per-
sons, having given their names. 1t was
alleged at first by way of excuse that
they took Mr.. Taylor for Jack Johnson,
but the dissimilarity between the two
is so striking that this story was at once
