Law Changes Hers
NEW ACT MAKES COMPLETE OVERTURN AS RESULT OF DIS-
 COVERING LATE WILL.

New Haven, Nov. 2.-The fact that a new law passed at the last session of the legislature went into effect yes ence in the disposition which will be tate of the late Caroline R. Brown, which will now go to her husbands s heirs instead of to her own.
 The new law provides that the pro- bate court may annul administration on an estate if it was granted on the such document is later found. In the past if the court once granted administration, will found after wards could not be probated. Mrs Brown died some time ago, leaving about $10,000, and as no will was found. her husband, Prof. Robert E. Brown. was appointed administrator On an intestate estate the husband only gets the life use of the prop erty.
 The recently discovered will leaves Mrs. Browns property to her hus- the terms of the new law and the former actions of the court in this case annuHed.' As it stood before, Prof. Brown only had the life use and his wife's property at his death would have gone to her heirs NOW, dS the VIII SlVeS IT to nlIn out right, the property will go to his heirs.
 It is a peculiar coincidence that this case, the first of it's kind in four years, should come up on the very first day the law went into effect.
 An inventory on the estate of the late Prof. Brown, which was also filed in court yesterday, shows an estate of $88,000.
 Prof. Brown was a professor al Yale University and a director of the Yale Observatory.

POLI'S.

The first real sketch of college life ever presented is the way the critical theatregoers size up ''The Come Back the headliner at Polls this week Combining the most hilarious comedy with a most interesting thread of romance and sentiment, this sketch holds the attention of the audience most irresistible bait for laughter. Headed. as 1t Is by Paul Dickey, once the star half back of the champion ship University of Michigan football team, 1t gives the real atmosphere of college life. All the members of the supporting company are in the spirit lege fellows, not like the usual stage variety. The sketch is one of the really big hits of the season
 Lyons G Yosco can have about everything that Bridgeport theatre goers can give. Judging. by the inn men,e reception accorded accorded to this this appearance. Each member of the team Is highly artistic and finished musician and the way they bring out the harmony on harp and cello and in song h a real treat. No team on the vaudeville circuit, is of higher popularity.
 Miss Aileen Harvey is the author of the very amusing comedy sketch, "Rained In" of which she is the prin- cipal. Her struggles at cooking din- ner under the spur of frequent shots from cowboy pistols keep the audience in convulsions of laughter.
 Fred Watson is making a hit this week with his "Madhouse Rag" song, one of his own. This bids fair to be- come one of the most popular of the numerous popular rags of today. He has many other singing novelties to offer and is one of the fine entertain- CTS of the bin.
 J. Hunter Wilson and Miss Effie Pearson have a very novel way of presenting their little filtration sketch "At the Reception and it always "goes big with the audience. It is replete with pleasing songs, graceful dances and witty comedy.
 Chapman and Berube are really strong men and in the beginning of the act. one lifts the other with no more effort than if it was a stick of wood on which he was testing his strength. Their balancing feats are marvellous and exceedingly dangerous, particularly the last one, which holds the audience breathless and spell bound.
 Manning & Ford, a pair of excep- tionally clever dancers, complete the bill, with the Electrograph, which shows a thrilling scene of Andrews raid in the Civil War.
 Next Tuesday night, election returns announced from the stage.

 The trouble between Anthony Kolos- ky, of Pleasant Valley, and his son, John, over the lease by which the latter was to have possession of the family homestead for fifteen years will be adjusted without further pro- ceedings under the legal action the lease set aside. Rather than con- tinue the contention the son is to give up the lease and also the crops which he raised during the past summer and will also vacate the premises In the suit which the father brought before the Common Pleas court at Bridge port he alleged that the lease was obtained by duress and misrepresenta- ton and also that he had been the subject of ill usage on the part of the defendant. These assertions are abs solutely denied by the son and his two sisters. one of whom has been living at home, and by distinterested parties conversant with the circumstances. w. c. Sanford, who drew the lease last winter, says that the father was fully informed as to it's terms and executed it with apparent willingness and after deliberation. Mir. Kolosky even said that he was indifferent about the $100 annual rental which was one of the conditions of the agreement, being satisfied with the other consideration of a home and his keeping The elder Kolosky at first consulted Attorney s. c. Shaw about undertaking the suit, but the latter declined to proceed with the case be- cause convinced upon inquiry that Kolosky's recital of alleged griev- ances did not square with the facts. Consequently he authorizes the state

ROAD TO FELICITY
 NOT IN SPENDING

''The Spendthrift" was presented, last night, to a smaller audience than the play deserved. The story, as told by Porter Emerson Browne, presents a woman who spends more money than her husband can earn. The trials and tribulations of family in socie- ty. living beyond it's income are strongly presented, in contrast with a frugal, but wealthy aunt, who is nodded upon Hetty Greene. The story works out to a happy conclu- sion, though it is entirely too full of rnodulated family jars to increase the total stock of optimism in the audi ence. The lesson is in the direction of showing that life consists of a wife, felicity does not lie in show and soc ial striving for vanities: It presents that one can't possible have any less and is consequently arrayed against the great modern movements which demand the good things of life in measure for everybody.
 The cast was small. but competent. Thais Magrane played the wife and Lionel Adams, the husband.
