FIGHT OVER BRIGHAM REQUEST
Suit Involving 100000 for Boston
Hospital Now in Court

Washington, Jan 20.-A suit over
the viii of Peter Bent Brigham in
volving nearly SS,000,00O it is claimed
was docketed Wednesday in the SUI
preme court of the United States
Brigham, a Boston capitalist, died
in 1877, leaving an estate of more
than a million dollars. Most of ii
was to go to trustees for 20 years who
We're to procure at the expiration of
that time the incorporation of com
pany to build a hospital for the indig-
ent sick of Boston.
So well did the trustees handle the
estate that it is claimed that in 1902
when the trust expired the bequest
amounted to about SS,000,000
The Peter Bent Brigham hospital of
Boston was organized to receive the
bequest, but it is alleged that its char
ter permitted it to acquire only $500,
600 worth OF property 1t is now urg-
ed that the bequest in excess of that
amount be vested at once in the heirs
at law of Brigham, and to test this
contention the case has been brought
to the supreme courts of Massachu-
sets, which gave a decision in favor
of the hospital
With the docketing in the United
States supreme court at Washington
of the action over the will of Peter
Bent Brigham begins the last step in
long series of actions to have the
major portion of the bequest, now
amounting to about $S,000,000 for the
purpose of building hospital for the
INDECENT sick in Boston, declared in
valid.
Peter Bent Brigham died in 1877,
leaving a will which provided that
seven persons should receive annui-
ties for 25 years during which period
the estate should accumulate, at the
end of which time hospital corpora
ton should be formed.
The present suit, which was decid-
ed in favor Of the will in the state and
circuit courts was instituted by the
Home for Destitute Children of Bur
lington, VT, the trustees of Brigham
Academy in Vermont and Others,
claiming to be devisees under the
wills of the legal heirs of the testator.
The general claim of the plaintiffs
is that the gift to found a hospital
20 years after Brighams death was
subject to a prior equitable charge
in favor of life annuitants who were
to receive the income out Of his gift,
and that, therefore the ultimate equl-
table title in favor of the hospital did
not vest in time to become valid.
The plaintiffs further claim that the
hospital corporation, which was not
formed until 1902 not having legal
capacity at the time It was formed
to hold property in excess of $1,000
600, that the surplus reverts to the
plaintiffs under the wills of the heirs
at law.

SHAW'S FORMULA

From Chronicle and Comment in the Au-
 gust Bookman.
 In his preface to "Three Plays by
 Brieux," George Bernard Shaw tells how to write a popular play. First, he says. you have an idea" for a dramatic situ-
 ation. If it strikes you as a splenddly
 original idea, whilst it is in fact as old as
 the hills. so much the better. For in- stance, the situation 1 an innocent person
 convicted by. circumstances of crime
 may always be depended on.
 If a young officer, he must be con-
 victed of selling information to the ene- my, though it is really fascinating fe-
 male spy who has ensnared him and
 stolen the discriminating document. If the
 innocent wife. banished from her home, suffers agonies through her separation from her children, and when one of them is dying (of any disease the dramatist chooses to inhicD disguises herself as nurse and attends it through it's dying convusion until the doctor who should be a serio-comic character, and if possible faithful old admrer of the ladys, si- mutaneously announces the recovery of the child and the discovery of the wifes innocence. the success of the play may be regarded as assured if the writer has any sort of knack for his work. Comedy is
 more difficult, because 1t requires a sense of humor and good deal of vivacity;
 but the process is essentially the same; it is the manufacture of a. misunderstood ing Having manufactured 1t, you place it's continuation at the end of the last act but one, which is the point at which the
 manufacture of the play begins. Then you make your first act out of the neces- sary introduction of the characters to the ! audience, after elaborate explanations, mostly conducted by servants, solicitors
 and other low-life personages the princi- pals must all be dukes and colonels and
 millionaires), of how the misunderstood ing is going to come about Your last act consists. of course. of clearing up the mis-
 understanding and generally getting the audience out of the theatre as best you can.

Expenses of the City

The expenses of the city in May were S162,032; in June they were S103,431 This is a gain in the right direction. A cut in July to about $75, ,000 would no doubt bring the city's expense account within its in- come, if we may judge its income by the auditors report covering the fiscal year ended June 30, 1910.
 The fiscal year has been changed by the commissioners. The present year" will be ended October 1 next, and the next fiscal report will cover Is months. Until this report is issued no one outside the board of commits sioners and Comptroller Abbott can say how expenses and receipts rela- lively stand.
 This much all do know-the com missioners are bravely endeavoring to bring the city's expenses within the city's income, and if the task can be accomplished at all the commits sion will do it. Under aldermanic rule the task would not even have been attempted. The commission is the only hope of a self-sustaining city government under the tax re- strictions of the constitution of 1901.

 The same old pair Mobile held a special election and by an overwhelming ma icrity voted in favor of high license and the open saloon.

The latter is infinitely more profitable than licensed saloon, and for that reason the divekeeper and his dis reputable retinue may always be found. as in Mobile working side by side and hand in hand with the zealous prohibi- tIonist When the "wets" win, as in Mo- lille the chief mourners are this ill- matched pair, a degenerate S,nd dupe. 7,ind tiger towns, ostensibly dry" may wei, be classed with the Scribes and the 1,harisees.

No Crime to Fit the Man

A man is often wanted to fit a crime committed, and now Montreal, up in Canada, wants crime to fit a man it has held up. The mans name is given. He is considered a murderer up in Montreal, but no crime can be specified at this writing that he has committed.
 Perhaps Montreal will be asked why it arrests an American citizen, charging him with murder, when it does not know that he is guilty of any offense whatsoever. He is held supposedly on charge of murdering some one in Alabama. This is cer- tainly very indefinite, and the man thus held up may ask the man who did it to make recompense for false imprisonment.
 Arrests on mere suspicion are
 grave in their consequences some- times, and it will be strange indeed if the case in question does not be- come the subject of international ne. gotiations. An American citizer certainly should not be arrested on 2 mere surmise that he may have mur dered some one.

Return of the BarOns to Redwood


 A team that had won eight out of ten games played up to Friday night, resulting in rise to second position, will surely be warmly welcomed home. These games were won, not at Redwood, but on the enemies own fields, confronted by the fierce teeth and magnetic eyes and resonant threats of foes in Chattanooga, At lanta, Memphis and Nashville. To say the least the home people . should give team that can do thus 3 welcome that will overflow even the generous bounds of Redwood. The { team comes home to play six games ir three days with Memphis, and the faithful players and their clever man. ager should have the pleasure of feel ing at home among friends on these three days.
 The home team cannot win the pen ant, but it can, and doubtless will, stand next to it, and that will be glory enough, and it will perhaps Head to a pennant next year. The sea- ,soned fan gets as much comfort out of a. position that drives all but one below the home team as he would out of pennant honors. It gives him plenty to fatten on in the present time and affords him more room for hope in the future.
 -s AL any rate let all give the return ing players warm welcome, and this welcome will assuredly include Man ager Molesworth, who did not let ad- verse criticism at home during his ab. sence lessen his ginger when facing strong teams in other states.
