ESTATE TO DAUGHTER
Will of Late Frank Slosson
Made Public Today--En-
tire Estate to Daughter
MALLBEQuEsTs RELATIVES

Contents of the last will and tesla
ment of the late Frank Slosson which
was opened Monday evening were made
public this morning and under the
terms of the will the entire estate of
the deceased manufacturer is left to
his daughter, Mrs. Agnes Holiday of
Indianapolis The only requests other
than that to the daughter are made to
the two sisters and other relatives of
Mr.. Slosson and the total amount of
these requests is but $3.50. Under
the terms of the will the estate is to
be held in trust for the benefit of the
daughter until she attains the age of
thirty five years when the principal
and interest will be paid to her. Chas.
G. Brown is named as executor and
trustee of the estate under the will.
The will has as yet not been filed for
probate but it will be probated within
the next few days. 1t is stated that
w.
600, it being nearly all personal pro-
perty. Mr.. Slosson was a heavy hold
er of the stock of the Chicago -Kenosha
Hosiery Company and smaller inter
ests in the Cooper Underwear Company,
The Balm Wagon Company, The First
National Bank and the Northwestern
Loan and Trust Company. 1t was
noteworthy fact that he was direc-
tor in all the companies in which he
was interested.
The death of Mr.. Slosson will leave
important vacancies in many Kenosha
industries and financial institutions
and it is expected that these vacancies
will be filed before the end of the
present week. A regular meeting of
the board of directors of the Chicago
Kenosha Hosiery company will be held
later in the present week and at
the offices of the companies it is stat
ed that nothing is known as to who
will be selected by the directors to sue
ceed Mr.. Slosson in the many places of
trusts which he held during the later
years of his life. Mr.. Slosson had such
a perfect system in the management of
his business that the men who have
worked under him will have little trou-
bic in continuing the work until his
successor shall be named. One of the
most important posts held by Mr.. Slos-
son was the Office of manager of the
Balm and Newell estates and it is prob
able that a new manager for the es-
tates will be named before the end of
the week

v|NJE MAY HAVE OPPOSITION
Racine Jurist Has Not Announced His
Candidacy but is Being Promised a
Lot Of Support From Different Sec
lions of the State.


Quite a little stir has been caused in
court circles in Kenosha by the an
nouncement that Judge E. B. Belden,
Judge of the First Wisconsin Circuit
court may be brought out as a candi-
date for Justice of the Supreme court
to succeed Justice A. j. Vinje whose
term will expire the first of next Jan
uary and successor to whom will be
elected at the judicial election to be
held in April. Judge Belden has in no
way announced himself as a candidate
for the office and the suggestion that
he enter the race against the sitting
justice has come entirely from his
friends in this and other judicial cir
cults of the state. The first announce
ment of the possible candidacy of Judge
Belden was made at Madison on Tues
day afternoon and there is no doubt
but that it was favorably received.
Many men who have close dealings
with the Supreme court have declared
that Judge Belden would make an ideal
Justice and there is no doubt but that
he would have the united support of
the bar in this section of the state
should he decide to enter the contest.
The term of Judge Belden as Circuit
judge for the First Wisconsin Circuit
will not expire until January, 1914 and
he is very popular in the Circuit.
Judge Vinje was appointed to the
Supreme bench at the time of the re-
signation of Justice Dodge some months
ago the appointment being made by
Governor Davidson and it is under
stood that he will be candidate to
succeed himself but as yet no petitions
for his nomination have been circulat-
ed in this section of the state. It was
stated at Madison on Tuesday that on
account of the possibility of opposi-
tion to the election of Judge Vinje his
friends would see to it that the petit
tions for his nomination were taken
out at once. Judge Warren D. Tarrant
Judge of the Circuit court in Milwau-
kee and widely known in this county
has also been mentioned as a candi-
date for the high judicial honors but
like Judge Belden he has given out no
statement in regard to his personal
feelings in the matter. 1t is probable
that there will be developments in the
judicial race within the next few days
and by that time the candidates in OPP
position to the sitting judge, if he is
to have opposition will be fully pro-
claimed to the people of the state.
