Cicero G. Peck of Hinesburg Also Made
Other Bequests.

Burlington, July II. The will Of
Cicero G. Peek of Hinesburg, just filed
here for probate, contains a bequest of
$500 to the congregational church Of
that town, the income from the fund to
be used for the payment of fire insur-
ance on the church building and for gos-
pei and church purposes otherwise.
The Methodist church of Hinesburg,
the town itself, and Troy Conference
academy of Poultney are also named in
contingent requests. 1t is directed that
the executor OF the estate sell the prop
erty consisting of three lots in Scarff's
addition, the strip of land adjoining the
O. c. Stacy property, lands in Blue
Island, Illinois, and the Governor Peck
farm in Richmond and Jericho and in
vest the proceeds, the income of which
is directed to be paid to the adopted
daughter and granddaughter.
In case of the decease OF both, before
the granddaughter reaches the age of 30,
and the latter leaves no heir or heirs,
the fund arising from the sale of the
land is otherwise disposed Of. Troy

Olson County for Four
Weeks

Middlebury, July 1.-THE will of the
late Columbus Smith in its original form
lis sustained but the four codicils at
tached thereto are broken by verdict

fore Judge Taylor of Hardwick, which
verdict was opened in court this morn
ing. The case involves property amount
ing to Sl,000000.
The case went to the jury Tuesday
afternoon at $50 o'clock. Yesterday at

quest to have the will of 1897 read /;
also the codicils of 1890, 1900 and 1908.
W. b. G. Stickney then read the will.

been heard by the jury. The testimony
of Harriet J. Smith, widow of Column
bus Smith. was also re-read. The charge
to the jury was again repeated. Last
night the jury came in and asked ii a
verdict could be rendered sustaining the
original will and breaking the codicils,
and at l0:30 last night verdict was
sealed.
Immediately upon the reporting Of the
verdict this morning, attorneys for both
the contestants and the proponents en-
tered motions, the former to have the
verdict sustained and the latter to have
il set aside.
The jury's verdict was to the effect
that the original will was made when

the codicils were added when he was Of
msound mind. The case has been on
trial for four weeks and is one of the
most important cases in recent years.

STEP LONG CONTEMPLATED.
Calling of Ambassador Wilson from
Mexico to Washington.

Washington, ID. c., July l7.--Com-
menting upon the announcement earlier
in the day that Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson had been summoned from
Mexico City to confer with President
Wilson regarding the situation in Mex
lea, Secretary Bryan last night said that
this step had been in contemplation for
some time. He refused to discuss sug-
gestion that this statement indicated
the ambassadors recall was not brought
about by the action of the diplomatic
body in Mexico City in formulating a
joint complaint against the attitude of
the United States toward the Huerta
government. The secretary would not
confirm or deny reports OF the meeting
of foreign representatives. in Mexico.
There is much speculation in official
circles regarding Ambassador Wilson's
future, for it is generally believed that
his return to the Mexican capital is by
no means certain. Mr.. Wilson was
thrown into close association with Gen
eral Huerta in the days preceding the
overthrow Of Madero and Immediately
afterwards. One of his first official com
munications to the state department
after the coup d'etat resulting in the
death of President Madero and Vice
President Suarez, suggested that he is
authorized to extend the formal recog
milton OF the United States to the new
government.
President Wilson has received recently
a number Of reports from individual
Americans not connected with the state
departments upon Mexican conditions so
that he will be prepared TO take lIp the
discussion with the amba ssador with
considerable personal knowledge Of the
subject.
Ii the president should conclude it ia
not necessary to return Mr. Wilson to
Mexico, the American embassy there
will be left in the charge of Secretary
0Shaughnessy. Thus its status would
correspond to that of the Mexican em-
bassy in Washington, which is under the
care of Secretary Algara. Recognition
of the Huerta regime would be involved
in the dispatch to that country of a new
ambassador.

New York, July 17,-The general COM
mittee of 100 of the Brotherhood OF
Railway Trainmen and the Order of
Railway Conductors went into session
here to-day to consider last nights com
munication from the eastern railroad
managers. announcing that the roads
would insist upon presenting their own
grievances before the arbitration board,
which is to settle the wage dispute.
Whether the unions are to sanction
this latest move of the roads may be
decided at the meeting to-day. The de-
mands OF the roads, if granted, would
mean big saving. Among other things
they would abolish guarantees and
double compensation and reduce by
twenty per cent. the pay of brakemen in
states where the extra crew bill is op-
erative.
