Convent Girl To
 Claim Big Estate
Jessie Reeds Attempt to Gain $25O,O0O Estate Scheduled For Trial in Superior Court Tomorrow

The attempt of a convent girl to obtaln her share of a $250.00O estate will be heard in the Superior court tomorrow when Jessie E. Reeds ap- peal from probate is scheduled for trial. Miss Reed, who is 21 years old, claims to be the daughter of the late Joseph Reed. who had a hand some summer residence in Greenwich Miss Reeds home is in New York.
 On April 5, 1911, Reeds will was ad- mitted to probate in Greenwich and Dr. James Porter Fiske and Anna C.. Brown of New York were bequeathed the bulk of the property. It is a1- legged that Dr. F'iske and Attorney w. Grant Brown of New York, husband of Anna c. Brown, eXerted undue in huence upon the testator. Miss Reed says she was not notified of the pro- bate hearing. Her father and moth CT had some marital trouble when Miss Reed was child, and the little girl was placed in a convent. Her existence had been forgotten until she came forward to claim the estate.
 Dr. F'iSke and Mrs. Brown claim to be the testatOr's next of kin, but Miss Reed denies this The trial promises to be hard fought and sensational.

1 Legislation To
 Cut Off Store
 Front Projection:

Concurring in the wishes of the Board of Library Directors, Mayor Wilson took up this morning the mat ter of the removal of that portion of the Kline Bros. and the City Bakery buildings projecting beyond adjacent buildings in Main street, between John and Bank streets, and took steps to- wards the introduction of remedial legislation in the Common Council this evening. The library directors fear that if present conditions prevail the selling possibilities of their building will be handicapped.
 Mayor Wilson's idea is to have the comEfttee on Streets and Sidewalks present a report to the Common Coun- Gil, this evening, recommending a public hearing on the widening of Main street at this particular point.
 This does not mean that there will be any change in the curb or side walk, but the theoretical width of the street will be extended to such a line as to cut down the projecting three feet of the Klins Bros. and of the Rogers Co.,, lessees Of the Russell es- tate property where the City Bakery was for many years located
 The meeting of the council this ev- ening is not expected to be very lengthy Mayor Wilson and many of the members will hasten from the meeting to the annual banquet of the Knights of St. Patrick scheduled to begin promptly at o'clock

Saved His Lea,


 lighting Bob" Evans was severely injured in the last attack on Fort Fisher He was taken to a hospital. where the surgeon in charge informed him it would be necessary to amputate his leg. Evans was by no means recon ciled to this idea, and in the absence of the surgeon procured a big navy pistol. When the doctor came back with his instruments the patient asked him in- nocently what he proposed to do.
 "I'm afraid we shall have to o~ampu- tate your leg," said the surgeon, reach ing for his tools. When he returned to the attack he was looking into the muzzle of the navy pistol.
 Drop that knife, - youv' cried Evans, and really there was nothing else for the surgeon to do.
 "Now I want word with you" said the patient. "That leg doesn't come off, do you understand? The first one of you who makes a move to take it off will get load of lead"
 Nor did it come off. It is true that Evans carried limp through life, but his timely assertion of his personality had saved his leg, which afterward proved quite useful.-Chicago Record Herald

Postofhce Aun1ors.

I have received a rather delightful narrative from a correspondent in the Holy Land, says contributor to the London Watch Dog. He went into the postoftice and asked for ten post cards.
 'But, honored sir,'' said the Turkish official, "why should you carry on your correspondence with cards? You can write at greater length in letter. Be- sides, every one can read what you say on postcards
 q have very little to say, and they suit me better. Kindly give me ten.'
 ''But, dear worthy sir, you are not of those poor people who have to use postcards. Rather write a fine long letter.
 "WiIl you or will you not give me ten postcards?"
 "Honored sir. would willingly give them to you, but I cannot"
 "Why on earth nOt?''
 Because I have none. I have had none since the week before last. If you really insist upon having some you will have to go to Joppa for them, seventy miles away"
 This reminds my correspondent of visit he once paid to a postoffice in Da- mascus to ask for letters. "But. re- spected sir,'' said the postmaster, "you had some letters only last week, and now you are asking for more."

CORONER AND
 ENGINEER SEE
 TROLLEY TEST
(Continued from Page One)


 viding his car was in any sort of con dition, had four different methods of bringing the car to halt, the worst of which would stop the car dead in- side of 300 feet, while the obstacle on the track ahead could be seen 800 feet in advance at least. The very fact that the trolley was running was proof that the Emergency" brake could be operated, even if all others failed.
 Coroner Phelan brought up the ques- tion of wet rails, but Engineer Elwen who is an experienced railroad man, and Superintendent Chapman, both declared that the tracks this morning were more slippery than at the time of the accident. being covered with a thick mist which formed puddles, while at the time of the collision they were washed with rian. They also agreed that a car containing 15 pas- sengers, as did the one in the wreck, would stop much more shortly than the empty car used for the test today. Engineer Elwen took a number of measurements of the tracks, and notes on the equipment and possibly may make some recommendation to the Public Utilities commission as the re- sult
 This afternoon Coroner Phelan is continuing his examination at the car barns, going carefully over the wreck ed car to ascertain if it's brake equip ment was in good shape. Tests also will be made to ascertain whether or not Mortorman Benson used the Emergency brake" the use of this leaving unmistakable marks in the electrical equipment of the car.
 Furthermore Coroner Phelan is ex- amining some of the trolleymen to find out how thoroughly they are schooled in the matter of brakes. and whether or not they know how to meet the various emergencies that may arise in running a car.

Cold. Heat and Drowsiness,


 Why do we feel drowsy when com ing out of the cold into very warm room? The effect of cold upon the body is to contract the surface blood vessels, drive the blood to the internal organs and slow and weaken the circu- lation. If this is prolonged the less ened circulation to the brain will pro- duce a lethargy which may end in death. To prevent this we instinctive- ly clap our hands, run or perform some other active exercise to stimulate the circulation. When going into very warm room from the cold the surface capillaries are dilated and there is a rush of blood to the brain which pro- duces a momentary congestion. We have here three causes for the drowsi- ness-more or less fatigue from the ac- tivity in the cold, the enervating effect of heat and the congestion.-New York American.

The Most Remarkable Suicide.

The Most Rem arkabie Suicide.
 The most curious suicide in the an nals of self destruction occurred at Chiquete, N. B., in the spring of 1890. Before committing the deed the self murderer, who was named W. R. T. Jones, dug his own grave and placed a rough coffin of his own handiwork at the bottom. The dirt from the opening was kept from rolling back into the excavation by boards held in place by a trigger to which a string was at tached. Everything in readiness, the deliberate MT. Jones, as subsequent developments revealed, got in the cof- fin, took a dose of poison and then pulled the string, burying himself be- heath tons of earth. This has been put down as one of the most unique and successful cases of self destruction on record.
