BASEBALL TEAM FOR BRYAN.

Some time ago The Eagle began add
vocating the organization of base
ball team and since that time some Of
the enthusiastic lovers of the national
game have been talking the matter
up. A number of the best players in
town are interested, as well as many
citizens who would contribute TO help
organize a team Bryan has the best
material of any of the smaller towns
in the state and team could be or
ganized that would hold its own with
any of them. What is needed is some
one to take the lead and begin getting
team started. A meeting of the base
ball enthusiasts and players should be
called and a captain elected to select
the team. Get together, boys, and let's
start something that will furnish
amusement through the dull summer
months.

Fr. Kennedy's Will Leaves Most of
 Estate To Charity

The will of Rev. Peter M. Kennedy of St. Francis church filed for pro- bate in New Haven yesterday by the two executors, Cornelius Conway ard Thomas J. Groark, leaves a great part of the estate to charity. It was stat ed that the will would be contested by the relatives on the ground that the pastor was not, in his right mind at the time of making the will Six months ago Mr. Conway was appoint ed conservator over Father Kennedy, but the will was drawn early in 1909, and the executors claim that he was in fit mental condition at that time to make a will. The estate will be in excess of $50 900. The application says that there is about S45,OO0 in per sonal property, but Father Kennedy had other interests which bring the value of the estate far above this amount
 The will leaves $1,OoO to a sister, Bridgeport R. Kane. of Southington; dy; $1.0O0 to niece, Julia C. Hen- drickson; s1,000 to Father Dennis F. Baker. Of the rest, one-third goes to a niece, Rose A. Barbier, and one third to St Francis R. c. church, of the remaining one-tnird, $1,000 goes to each of the executors for their services, and the rest is to be equally y of St. Francis church, Jane Huet. of the Sisters of the Holy Ghost; the Little Sisters of the Poor and St Roses R.~C. church, The brothers and sisters living are John Kennedy of Derby; James Kennedy of Southing- ton; Christopher Kennedy of Southing- ton, and Bridget Kane None have given notice of contest, but it is un- derstood that there is to be one
 The testator provides that a thou sand dollar life insurance policy in the Equitable company be paid to a sister, Bridget. R. Kane, of Southing- ton; another policy of a like amount in the same company to a nephew, Peter M. Kennedy; a like policy in the Home Life company to a niece, Julia c. Hendrickson and like policy in the Metropolitan company to his friend, Rev. Dennis F. Baker. All of these policies, it is intimated, have been allowed to lapse by the testator since he made the will April 29. 1909, and consequently are of no value.

Senate Is Strong
 Por Publicity Of : Campaign Expenses
Special from United Press )

Washington, July 1S.-Members predicted, today, that the bill f8r ante-e election publicity of campaign expenses for Senatorial and Congress sional candidates would never be agreed to by the House in the form in which it passed the Senate, last evening. The amendment covering primaries contests is not favored by the Democratic majority in the House.
 As passed by the Senate, the bill provides for publicity of campaign expenses beginning 15 days before the election and on each succeeding six days until the election; limits the total amount which may be expended to S10,000 for Senatorial candidates and $5,000 for candidates for the House; makes obligatory a statement by the candidate in regard to any promises of political jobs and de- clares illegal the promise of political places in order to secure support for the candidate.

ACTRESS FEAR
 OF WET FEET
 HOLDS UP SHOW

Manager w. H. Isham of the Lyric theatre announced today that Miss June Agnott, the leading woman of the drama of heart throbs and human interest, Welded and Parted" has recovered from her slight ind1sposition of last night sufficiently to allow the presentation of the drama this af- ternoon as per schedule.
 Miss Agnott baked at going on the stage last night. She said she had a cold, had Wet-not cold-feet, and that the stage was damp. How could she go into the offices of the Broadway manager for a fall and winter en- gagement if her voice was husky? She couldn't. So she didn't go on, and the audience, all keyed up for the production, demanded it's money back.
 The money didn't come fast enough to suit some of the patrons, and when Policemen Jack Ryan and Ger, rity got there, a young riot was in progress. The management nailed up the doors for the night and the au- dience, was forced to put off the en- joyment of the Lyric production un- til today.

Door Of Perry
 Home Left Ajar;
 gz Burglar Scare

Justice George W Wheeler of the Supreme court, asked the police to investigate today what was supposed to have been an attempt to loot t7e luxuriously furnished hornes st sEast washingten nAant Noble avenues. -ec- cupied by Mrs. Adelaide Perry, widow of the late millionaire, William Hunt Perry.
 The supposed burglarious attempt proved to be merely a result of an oversight on the part of one of the servants All the occupants of the home were away Sunday night. Re- turning they found side door sfar. It was supposed that burglars had forced an entrance into the house
 The home is occupied by Mrs. Per- ry and her niece Miss Josephfne Mayer When the door was found open, the suspicious of the family were communicated to Justice Wheel CT. who got in touch with the police
 Examination brought to light tfs information that one of the domestics forgot to fasten the door, with the result that it swung open while the house was left unoccupied. Nothing has been missed.
 Fear of a burglary at the Perry homestead was accentuated by the fact that about a month ago in East Washington avenue, al block distant. the Peter Perry homestead occupied by Mrs. Jerusha Perry and Mir. and Mrs Henry -Setzer, Jr.->was- burglar 'ized and stripped of a large quantity of silverware
