AUTO CRASHES
INTO A POLE AT
MORGAN CURVE
APPEAL MADE
IN WILL CASE
Judge Lyon Acts for ExeCu-
tors NELSON Legacy.

Judge Adrian Lyon, of this city,
attorney for the executors, has ap-
pealed the now famous Nelson Will
Case" to the Court of Errors and
Appeals IN an endeavor to set aside
the ruling of the Court of ChanceTy
on June 80, which held that the two
granddaughters, son, and daughter
of the late Peter Nelson, who left an
estate of 100000, should share and
share alike. The estate consists
largely of Perth Amboy real estate,
including the Flatiron building at
New Brunswick avenue and State
street.
Nelson's heirs, according to the
ruling of the Court of Chancery, are:
Eleanor Lynch, of Tottenville,
daughter of John J. Lynch, former
policeman attached to the Ninety
ninth precinct; Mrs. Dorothea Nagle,
of Newark; Karl Nelson, and his sis
ter. Mrs. NagIe and Miss Lynch are
granddaughter by the first wife OF
Peter Nelson, and the last two
named heirs are children Of Nelson 8
second wife. He willed the bulk Of
his estate to his son and daughter,
DeQueaInlng only Ie" uOIIdIb 10
the grandchildren, but the Court Of
Chancery held that the will did not
dispose of the corpus of the estate,
so that the other two heirs are legal
ly entitled to an equal share in the
estate, the same as if their grand
father had died intestate.
Judge Lyon, representing the
estate, served notices of appeal to-
day on Merritt Lane, of Jersey City,
representing Mrs. Nagle, and
Thomas Brown, of this city, who is
counsel for Miss Lynch.

Greenport L. l., July 19:-Nine
battleships were sighted off Black
Island by the destroyers and submar-
ines today. They were the advance
guard of Admiral Osterhaus' attack
Ing column and steamed in toward
Newport harbor. 1t will not be known
until the report of the ump1res are
filed whether they theoretically ran
the blockade or were sunk.
During the next forty-e1ght hours
two squadrons will maneuvre and
probably fight for the possession of
the entrance to Long Island Sound or
what has come to be known as New
York's back door"
The game win be played principally
for the benefit of the amateur tars Of
eight coastline states-Maine, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and South Carolina, and also the Dis
trict Of Columbia, while Winthrop
Beekman, assistant secretary of the
navy, will watch the play from the
Chicago.
The problem for the attacking
. ''t,iue 'te.ue fleet, comprised of seventeen
battleships Of the North Atlantic fleet,
which has been assembling at Prov
incetown, Is to penetrate a defensive
line drawn from Montauk point
through Block Island to No Mans
Land, six miles off Gay Head, at the
southwestern extremity of Martha 8
Vineyard.

posed of cruisers and torpedo boats
and one of the most formidable schools
Of submarines that has ever met an
enemy In those waters.
Weather favored an attacking feet,
for thick fog hung like curtain over
Block Island sound and extended we'll
to the eastward.
The submarines went to sea at mid
night and will spend the greater part
Of The next two days In prowling off
Block Island in search of the attacking
fleet, with the torpedo boats and cruis-
ers establishing a secondary line of de-
Tense The battle will be fought with
out the aid of wireless telegraphy.
Newport, r. l., July 19.-Interest In
the war game and maneuvers is In
creasing here. This is the point from
which the submarines will try to prove
their value in war. The war depart
ment experts are particularly inter
ested In what will be accomplished by
tina diving craft. If their opinions are
proved the submarines will come to be
regarded as one of the most valuabl
Of the fighting machines employed in
naval warfare.
If Admiral Osterhaus succeeds In
eluding the submarines he can con-
tinue on his way to Long Island sound
or make a base Of supplies at Nara
gansett bay and from the latter point
conduct operations. Men can be land
ed at places on the sound and march
on New York.
1t can therefore be seen that much
Is expected Of the submarines, and the
eastern end of the big city is prac-
tically guarded by them.

Has Many Agreements.

The Bell company has nearly 1000
of their standard agreements now In
force in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
said Mr.. Putnam. Among those
places nearest to Plymouth where
this commission agreement is III
force without the extra charge of
five cents per calr as the Winona
company wants here, are the follow
ing:
Knox and Monterey, both of which
are Winona company plants, La
porte. Teeearden. Michigan City,
Flkhart. Goshen. Osceola. Lagrange,
Columbia City. Claypool, Silver
] AXE. Disco. Laketon. Deedsville,
Letters Ford, Monticello. San
Pierre. North Jndson. Westville,
Rensselaer,. Kentland. Goodland,
Remington and Wolcottville.
In all these places there is the
commission agreement only. The
Winona company in Plymouth wants
IN addition to the commission a toll
charge Of five cents for each call,
whether going in or out. This the
Bell people think is too much and
are net willing to accede to it. 1t
would get them into all kinds of
trouble if they did, said Mr.. Put
nam. for as soon as the other 1000
places heard of il there would be
pandemonium in the land.
&c soon pc Mr.. Toml;nson comes
back from his Ohio trip, which will
probably on next Monday, Mr.. Put
nam will come to Plymouth and
have a consultation with him over
the matter and see if they can come
to satisfactory agreement in the
matter.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
Political Revolution In California.

The general result of voting on
the amendment to the California
constitution amounts to political
revolution. While the big news
papers of the country have been 10th
to give much prominence TO the re
suit of that election all who have a
knowledge of, the issues involved
know that this event was a book
mark in American history. There
were four amendments of a radical
nature upon which public interest
was concentrated. One provided for
the initiative and referendum, or
direct legislation; the second for the
recall, including the Judiciary; the
third for an appointive railroad and
public utilities commission with
large powers of regulation; and the
fourth for equal suffrage. They
were all carried by overwhelming
majorities.
California has done remarkably
well. A year ago it elected Hiram
Johnson governor. He is a Republi
can who believes in the people. A
legislature was also chosen I'D
sympathy with his ideas The re-
suit of their joint work was the con-
stitutional amendments which were
adopted by such an overwhelming
majority ten days ago.
The cause of this political revolu-
ton is not disbelief on the part
of the voters in representive govern
ment. Tt is a revolt against mis-
government, The people are deter
mined to make the law-making pow
er responsive to their will. Will
the direct legislative provisions. they
are in control. The Southern Pacific
Railroad Company has made the
laws for California for more than a
generation. 1t has chosen It's rulers,
it has selected the judges and defied
public opinion. The new Democracy
has supplanted it. California has
taken her nlace with the other prog
ressive Western States and if the
working out of the new system
proves as successful as its support
ers believe truly a new era Will have
commenced in American politics.
