FINANCE AND COMMERCE

New York, June 20.-The operators
in stocks chose for the central subject
of consideration today the signing by
President Taft of the railroad bill and
the consequent completion Of contem-
plated legislation on that subject for
the present
The action of the wheat market

There was a slight increase Of ANNA
ton in the speculation as is evidenced
by the meager aggregate OF the days
transactions, but the last prices Cf the
day we're generally the best
The favorable effect on the tone of
the market disposition of the railroad
legislation, may be due simply to a
feeling of relief that it is out of the
way Some clauses are avOWedly dis
tasteful to railroads as well as ship
pers. The more immediate influence
of the bill on the stock market comes
from the fact that its passage will be
a signal for renewed notices of in
tended increase of freight rates. In
the financial district the conviction is
general that the increases will be
granted. This conviction underlies an
apprehension that tactics of professed
discontentent alarm will be used by
the railroads in the conduct OF a cam
paign for an increase-tactics which
may operate to the discrcdit of rail-
road securities.
Active efforts Of the banking rep
resentatives towards reconciling great
shippers to the desired rate of in
creases and the necessary consulta-
ton with government authorities en-
joined by new law, carry the broad
suggestion that future railroad rates
are likely to be the subject of agree
ment which the antitrust law hardly
will be invoked to prevent.

THE MANY WILLS
OF MRS. WEN1zLER
The Probate Court Will Decide Today
Which Is the Right One.

The case OF the three Wentzlef wills
was before the probate court yesterday.
Mrs. Lillian May Wentzler, wife OF
George Wentzler. better known by his
stage name Of Willis West, died late
last April after making three wills. The
first, made in March. left everything
to her husband Her estate consisted
of some real estate at Yuma worth it
is estimated, $4,000. There We're two
diamond rings worth about $50 each,
piano and some shares of stock Of
the King of Arizona mine.
Mrs. Wpntzler had q little daughter
aged by a former husband. Harry
Gardiner Of Redlands, Cal, the little
girl being in the custody of the father.
At the time of the making of this WILL
Mrs Wentzler was quite i'll of tuber
Culosis. Later she believed that her
husband was neglecting her and she
made another will leaving all of her
property to her little daughter. Three
days before her death she made a third
will leaving the real estate to her hus
band and the rest of the property to
her daughter. In all of the wills, An
drew Pancrazi OF Yuma was named as
executor Mr.. Pancrazi declined to to
act except under the second will and
all three of them were presented for
probate.
The last will was attacked on the
ground that at the time of its execu-
ton. Mrs. Wentzler was incapable of
making a will and on the further
influences.
Frank Baxter Of Yuma and District
Attorney Billiard appeared for the
executor under the second will, and l.
]. Lipsohn represented Mr.. WentZler
Mr.. Gardiner was present as one of
the witnesses. He presented several
letters from his former wife relating
to their little daughter and from the
tone of them it appeared that she de-
sired to leave her property to her.
There were letters which had been sent
by Mrs. Wentzler to Mr.. Pancrazi in
which she had expressed a wish that
the little girl should inherit her
property. Among the witnesses for the
second will were DR.. Craig and Miss
tombstone. a nurse. The former tes-
titled that for ten days before the
death of Mrs. Wentzler she was under
the influence of opiates. Miss John
stone said that she was under such in
fluence all the time she had known her.
which was for a period of a few days
before her death
On the other hand. Mrs. R. c.. Phil
lips said that when Mrs. Wentzler sent
to her to inquire where she could get
lawyer to prepare her last will she
was quite rational and asl1m only such
questions as a rational person might
ask. Mrs. Brockmiller also said that
Mrs. Wentzler was entirely rational at
the time of making the will
After this widely contradictory tes-
timony there were brief arguments.
Judge Phillips asked if it were posi-
BILE to effect a compromise. Mr.. BaX-
ter said it was not; that there must
be a decision by the court; either the
last win or the second will expressed
the intent of Mrs. Wentzler and no.
body but the court could decide which
was the right will. Judge Phillips an
nounced that he would render a deci-
sion this morning.

ARMY RESERVATION
TO Be AUCT|ONED
The Site of Old Fort Bowie Will Be
Parcelled off to the Highest
Bidders.

The military reservation of Camp
Bowie the site of the old Indian fort,
twelve miles south of the station of
Bowie, in Cochise county, is to be sold
at auction by the government. F. c..
Dezendorf, chief of the sixth field di
vision of the land office, has just re-
turned after making the appraisement.
The reservation contains 21,93S acres,
Of which 1924 acres, including two sec
tons of school lands, belong to the ter
rtory. The land is to be auctioned off
in the fall in much the same manner
as the Parker lots were disposed Of
Some parts of the district are valu
able grazing lands and adapted to dry
farming. A good deal is mineral and
there is one quarry which supplies the
Arizona Marble company of Bowie.
Much of the district has been grazed
over by the cattle belonging to the
Riggs and Shaffer ranches. The south
ern portion of the tract, which is six
miles square, is the head of the Sui
through Apache pass, to guard which
the old fort was built.
The reservation was established by
executive order in 1870 and abandoned
as post in 1894. There is nothing left
of the fort that witnessed many stir
ring scenes in its time. There is, how
ever, a lime kiln, the only building on
the reservation, which was erected by
the soldiers.

A ROAD MADE OF SYRUP

Billings Special:-A road built OF
sugar-not exactly of sugar either
but finished with syrup which is a
refuse in the manufacture of granu-
lated sugar from sugar beets, is what
Billings man declares is not only
possible, but feasible and entirely
practical. one that can be built at a
minimum expense and is a vast i'm
provement over the natural roads of
this state.
The idea of using refuse syrup on
roads, grew out of an experiment
made in this city by one of the tennis
organizations. When the court was
laid out, considerable difficulty was
experienced on account of dust, also
the fact that with every rain, the soil
was picked up by the shoes of the
players. In looking about for some
sort of cheap binder, it occurred to
one of the members that the refuse
syrup might do. 1t was tried, and
found to answer the purpose admira-
bly,. When mixed with salt and
poured over the court SO that it
soaked into the ground to depth of
several inches the ground was rem
dered practically impervious to wat
er, and the dust was entirely elimin-
ated. 1t worked virtually as we'll
when used without salt.
It is believed that if the country
roads are properly graded, rolled and
copiously sprinkled with this refuse
syrup, they could be kept in fairly
good condition with two such treat
ments per year, and the cost would
be trifling, much cheaper than when
oil is employed.
While an innovation in this state,
roads have been treated in similar
manner in other sections. In such
places, however, the syrup is COM
bined with quicklime, producing cal
clum sucrate, which on standing, sets
into dense, sticky cement, and this
mixture properly distributed over
the roads after grading was accom-
plished, has been found to give most
satisfactory results, being far super
ior to the oiling process.
The question will be discussed at
the Good Roads convention and the
use OF this refuse syrup may become
common on roads where it is not de-
sired to follow the more expensive
system of using gravel or crushed
limestone.

prices that far excelled the appraised
valuation.
Many of these buyers were old tim

time-only about six or seven years

for unimproved land, S64 an acre for

place. The city is to be commended
for furnishing the trough.
