SUPERIOR COURT.
Fuckers Appeal from Probate on Trial Judge Williams Holds That 1t is Not a Jury Case.

Of the three cases set down for trial at the session of the superior court held at Willimantic Wednesday, two, Fisher vs. Mills and Martin vs. Cen tral Vermont Railway company, were settled out of court.
 J. Vernon Fuckers appeal from pro- bate was on trial the major part of the day, Judge Williams taking the papers in the case shortly before 4 o'clock. About a dozen witnesses were heard, pro and con, and the arguments were made by Patrick J. Danahey for Tucker and George E. Hinman for the selectmen of the town of Scotland.
 The action was originally brought by petition of the Scotland selectmen, asking for the appointment of a con servator over Tucker. a young man of 2S years, on the ground that he was unable to care for his property and had disposed of it without consideration. Judge James A. Shea, who had orig inal jurisdiction in the case, granted the petition and appointed Clarence Perry conservat0r in the latter part of May. 1913.
 Attorney Danihy claimed in his ar gument that title to the property is now in the young mans father, who is believed 10 be losing his sight, and the selectmen wish to have the prop erty in the possession of young Tucker in order that 1t might be taxable and not exempt.
 The case was brought to the jury but Judge Williams took it away from them Tuesday morning on the ground

IN NEcRoLoGY LIST.
But George I. Henry, Formerly of Nor
 wich, is Very Much Alive.

George I. Henry of Main street sat in the convention or annual reunion of the surviving members of the gallant Fifteenth Massachusetts volunteers, with whom he fought through the civil war, at Worcester Tuesday, and heard the secretary read his name as one of the roll of honored dead.
 When the secretary had completed the reading oi the roll MT. Henry got the floor and said that he had no Ob- jection to having his name read -ong the dead ones, but he was wondering if he reilly was dead and did not know it. The incident caused much laughter. MT. Henry's name had been placed among the list of members of the reg iment that have died during the past year.
 Mir. Henry. who was formerly of Nor wich and is listed on the records of the regiment as living in that city, is very much of a live man. He is as alert as any of his comrades that were represented in the reunion of Tuesday, and has a fine prospectus of life. He was very much amused oyer the incl dent and told many of his friends about it when he returned home.

Wilson's Cabinet

1t is stated in a telegram from
Washington, d. c., that Presi
dent-elect Wilson already ha.
practically selected his Cabinet
The men who will be asked X
serve in the new Cabinet have
been decided upon, and tenders
of portfolios will soon be made tt
them.
The name and the positions
they will occupy was learned
here today from a confidential
source closer to Governor Wilson
than any other. The Cabinet
slate is:
Secretary of state-William j.
Bryan of Nebraska.
Secretary of the Treasuary-
Henry Morgenthau of New York.
Secretary of War-Represen-
tative Mitchell Palmer Of Penn
sylvania.
Secretary of the Navy-Harry
S. George Tucker of Virginia.
Attorney General William F.
McCombs of New York, or w. A.
Glasgow Jr., of Philadelphia.
Postmaster Generates. Dan
iels of North Carolina.
Secretary of the Interior-Ex-
Governor Osbon of Wyoming.
Secretary of Agriculture Repre-
sentative Burleson of Texas.
Secretary of commerce and
labor-Representative Redfield
of New York.
This list is, of course, subject to
change but it is substantially cor
rect as far as the offers to take
places in the Cabinet are concern
ed. Whether or not all Of the
men offered portfolios viii accept
is problematical.
The same informant says that
should Representative Redfield
decline to serve as Secretary of
Commerce and Labor, the place
will be offered to Senator Gore of
Oklahoma. If Representative
Burleson should decline the pos
ition held for so many years by
"Tama JIM Wilson, it is said
Governor Wilson has resolved to
offer the portfolio to a young
Alabama business man who has
been engaged in constructive
work of national character for
some time and who is a personal
friend of the Wilson family. The
name of this man is not stated.
