aLyER5oN Will ADMITTED 70.
PROBATE
Estate Estimated Al $500, 900.
Property Bequeaihed 10 I'm
mediate Heirs.

The will of the late Charles Silver.
son Was admitted to Probate BY Judge
Ross Monday morning in the presence
Of the subscribing witnesses, L. B.
Krook. Herman Rsabe and VIM. F..
Meile, Clifford Taney aud Charles
Vogtel, two Of the executors named 10
the will and Henry N. Somsen Of the
law firm Of Somsen, Dempsey g.
Mueller. Clifford Taney, Of St. Paul,
Charles vogtel of New Ulm and VIM.
Silverson Of Shelbyvill Ind, were
appointed % Executors of the Estate
which 10 estimated to exceed S4OO, 900
in value, and, in compliance with the
wishes of the testator, no bonds we're
exacted of them.
Under the provisions of the will, his
widow, Katherine NJ. Silverson, re-
ceives the homestead and furniture
except such as belonged to his de-
ceased wife which goes TO his two
daughters. Mrs. SilversOn receives
also outright one-thlrd of the balance
of all other property, the only re-
striction being the wish and direction
of the testator that.th common stock
of the Eagle Roller Mill Co. should
remain intact and that his widow
should select other property in place
of it.
To his sister Barbara Schubach he
gives and bequeaths SO shares of the
Preferred Stock of the Eagle Roller
Mill Co. or its equivalent in cash and
to his sisters Catherine Zepf and
Minpie Sommer he gives and be-
queaths 25 shares of this stock or its
equivalent in cash.
Because the testator deemed it ad-
visable that the controlling interest in
the mill company remain where it was
prior to his death, he directs that his
executors and trustees keep the
common stock intact for period of 10
years, unless sooner absolved by
William Silverson who is to have the
right to vote the stock.
The balance of the property is to 60
to his executors in trust for his three
children, Katherine O'Donneli, Char
lote Sifverson and Charles Tsney
Silverson. Each daughter is to re.
ceive the income from her third during
her life. time, and the sons income is
to be used for his support and edu-
cation. At the age of 25 he is to
receive his share of the estate The
shares of the children after death 10 to
20 to their issue. But, If either of the
children should die without issue, that
share shall pass to the other children
or their issue and II none, to tho
teststor's sisters.
The will fixes the compensation OF
the executors and trustees at 5000
each per annum and directs that none
shall be appointed unless they agree
to accept this remuneration. The
Court, however, has the right to re.
duce this allowance if the amount thus
allowed should prove excessive and q
burden on the estate.
The testatOr furthermore transfers
his trusteeship over the funds of his
two daughters to Barbara Schubach
of Cincinnati and Charles Vogtel OF
New UIm.

New York, July 1S,-0ne additional
arrest was made today in connection
with the murder Of Herman Rosen-
thai, the gambler, who was shot down
in front Of the Hotel Metropole, by six
men in an automobile, after accusing
the police of colluslon with New
York's gambling interests, and a num-
ber Of further arrests are expected to
follow in quick succession.
With the arraignment today Of Jack
Rose, clase friend of Police Lieuten-
ant Becker, who admitted having hired
the car from which the murder was
committed, and his remanding TO the
Tombs without bail, charged with
completely in the murder, the belief is
general that District Attorney Whit

facts of the crime well in hand

ly of the police. Mayor William j.
Gaynor is also taking a hand person
ally, and, with three suspects in jail
willing to talk, startling developments
are looked for in the near future.

ined Rose for two hours this morning,
It was reported later that 1t was on
direct order from Mayor Gaynor to
Police Lieutenant Becker that Rose

cape so that they could be caught At

self and could induce him to appoint
receivers in the future who would
meet with the approval of the local
merchants.
Klock also testified that the debate
between himself and Goldsmith de-
yeloped to such a general discussion
Of Judge Hanfords fitness on the
bench outside of the receivership mat
ters, that Klock finally told the mer-
chants that he considered as "unfit
judge who would get mixed up in a
deal tending to deprive or defraud the
school children and posterity Of some
$1,000 acres of school lands" Klock
explained that he retired to the Han
ford Irrigation company which OBJ
tanned school lands on a sale by the
state land commissioner which was
advertised in some obscure way, but
which, singularly enough, attracted
'he Hanford buyers.
Klock indicated the value of this
land by saying that one purchaser re-
fused an offer of $4,000 on an invest
ment of $175.
Goldsmith, who gave some prelim-
mary testimony yesterday, was re-
called by the defense. He explained
that Klock was not repeating his Ian
guage as he gave it. Goldsmith said
that he referred to Hanford as com
pairing favorable with other federal
Judges and that he did not say that
he was not much worse.
He denied that he said he admitted
Hanford probably had outlived his
usefulness, and explained that he said
some people said So He denied also
that he said he could go before Judge

Mayor Gaynor interrogated Lieu
tnant Becker today. Later a letter
from Mayor Gaynor to Police Comis-
sioner Waldo was published, in which
the mayor called Rosenthal 'miser-
able outlaw and added:

Lieutenant Becker would sit down to

he did so seems admitted.

Every citizen of Salem has com
planned of the poor pressure Of water
in the city mains, or Of the utter lack
of water in them, but this can be ac-
counted for in large measure by the
improvements and alterations now un-
der way at the plant of the company
A new electric pump Of 100000 gal
Ions capacity has just been installed
but has not yet been connected with
the electric power of the city. 1t will
have power enough to pump its full
capacity to a height Of 230 feet The
plant without this pump is now fur
nishing 100000 gallons Of water a
day to consumers which added to the
volume to be furnished by the new
pump will make million gallons
enough for a city five times as large
as Salem.
1t is a well known fact that large
quantities of water are wasted by al
lowing hose and faucets to run both
night and day. 70 correct this the
company will employ ten inspectors
to see that the consumers comply with
the regulations covering the use Of
the water. Over half the water pump
ed through the cty's mains is wasted
by careless users, which should be
saved. as MANI persons are deprived
of water on account Of the wasteful-
ness of others.
During the time connections were
being made with the plant for the A.
inch main being laid on Mill street II
was necessary to disconnect part OF
the mains at the plant and now that
this work is connected up II will be
a question Of a few days only until
the water company will be able Ia
furnish million gallons Of water
which is more than five times the
quantity necessary to supply a city
Of this size
Mr. c. A. Parks, president Of the
water company, says that the city OF
Des Moines, Iowa, a city Of 10000 in
habitants, uses only 3 million gallons
of water a day The fact that there
are meters there accounts for this
low consumption there. with ten in.
spectors doing service It Ia believed
that much better satisfaction will be
had.
The matter Of connecting up the new
electric pump with the power station
is no small one, no one being found
in Salem having the ability to do It
A man will be brought from Portland
In day or two, or just as soon as

says that with careful patroling OF IN,
