CONTEST SITE OF
REVERE MEMORIAL
Trustees of Morristown Park
Refuse Permission to
Erect Il.

A suit to determine what disposition
shall be made of a $1,000 share in the
estate OF the late Augustus T. Revere,
q Hneal descendant of Paul Revere,
the Revolutionary War hero, has been
brought in the local Chancery cham
bers.
J The testator, who died in the sum-
mer of 1910, at his home in Morristown,
left instructions that fund of $4,000 be
used in erecting memorials to certain
deceased members of famous Revere
family. One thousand dollars has al
ready been expended in placing por-
trait of General Joseph Warren Re-
we're, the testator's father, in the State
House, at Trenton.
The remaining $1,000, according to
the will, must be used in erecting
base for a flagstaff at Morristown
Park, Morristown. This base was
to have been built of granite and
bronze, but the Morristown Trust
Company has been unable to comply
with this provision of the will.
The board of trustees in possession
of the green selected by the testator
for the memorial base refuse to per-
init its erection. The base was to
seph Warren Revere and Paul Revere,
brother of the testator. This Paul
Revere Is not the Lexington hero,
but another lineal descendant of
him.
1t is claimed that the desirable
green is the property of the trustees
and not owned by the municipality.
The trustees object to the erection
OF the proposed base, to take the
sNf ha VANv4 ffxa<r "a
Flagstaff, on the theory that it would
be private memorial"
Carl V. Vogt, representing the city
OF Morristown, argued that the city
did not require the permission of the
trustees to alter the base. He asked
Vice-C chancellor Howell, who is hear
ing the case, to order the executors
of the estate to carry out the provi-
sions of the will. This would mean a
court order overruling the trustees
in charge OF the coveted green.
The late Augustus L. Revere named
the Church of the Redeemer, of Nor
ristown, residuary legatee in the will.
In the event that the court sustains
the objections made by the trustees
of the park site the $1,000 set aside
for the memorial base will revert to
the residue of the estate and become
the property of the church. The latter
iilbLllullOH WAS represented ny
Stephen H. Little, who commended
. that the $4,000 legacy should be dis
claimed by virtue of the stand taken
by the trustees and the money award
ed to the church.
Another bequest of $500 made by
the testator was also the subject of
an argument. The money was left
to the Society for the Provision of
Medical Attendance for the Worthy
Poor of the Township of Morris At
torney Little pointed out that the
society had disbanded in January,
1911, which act twas a renunciation'
of the legacy" This sum should also
+ revert to the church, he commended.
Z The Morristown Trust Company,
executors of the disputed will, was
represented by Willard w. Cutler,
who announced that his clients had
no interest in the suit other than
to receive instructions from the court
son how to dispose of the sums in
question. Vice-Chancellor Howell re-
served decision.

Dog, With Tin Can Tied to
Tail, Jolts the Nerves of
Anthony C0mst0ck's Mare
Especial to the Newark start

SUMMIT, Dec. 17.--An Airedale
terrier with a can attached to its
tail came near causing the running
away of mare owned by Anthony
ComStock.
The vice crusaders horse had been
left united yesterday in front of the
postoffice in Maple street while the
coachman was getting the mail. The
canine dashed around the corner of
Union place and between the front
legs of the horse. When the dog col
lided with the horse the can became
loosened and struck the animal on
the leg, causing it to jump.
Two men standing near the horse
prevented it from boiling. The dog
cleared the sidewalk between Beech
wood road and Maple street of women
and children, increasing its speed
with each resounding crack of the tin
on the concrete sidewalk.
Patrolman John J. Cannon made a
futile effort to locate the person who
ATTACHED the can to the dog, which is
owned by Mrs. w. N. Coler. Mrs.
Coler and her family are spending the
winter in New York.

Investigations Bring in the
Chautauqua.

The senatorial investigation
+. iday at Washington, ID. G.
brought the following to light:
Congressman McDermott ad.
mitted he had borrowed without
security $1,000 from George
Horning, a Washington pawn
broker, and had never repaid it,
but denied that his obligation had
influenced his stand on the land
shark bill He also admitted that
he had borrowed, without Sc
curity, $500 from HughIIarvey, IAN
official of local liquor dealers
organization, and had not repaid
it, but denied that this favor had
| Influenced him in his attitude to-
ward the pending drastic saloon
bill.
Among the revelations of the
operations of the manufacturers
lobby elected by the senate com
mittee were the following:
Tainted" Chautauqua lectures
were arranged by the lobby,
James Il. Watson, former repre-.
sentative from Indiana, being re.
tanned to preach the manu-
Ifacturers doctrine from the ly
ceum platform at a cost of $40 {
lecture to the industrial organiza
ton. Former Congressman Ian
dis of Indiana, il was stated, also
was retained on this basis.
a plan for tainting" news
paper contributors columns by
sending in fake letters from read
ers also was planned as a mean
of disseminating the employers
: views.
Following conference be
tween John Dwight, Republican
whip of the House, and the manu-
3 facturers lobby, the Hughe
eight-hour labor law was defeat
ed. Col. Mulhall inducing thirteel
out of fourteen of Hughes sup
porters to absent themselves iron
the vote. This completely zorro
borated Mulhall's testimony oil
this point.

they did. County Court gave ce-

Prairie Lea Lawn Social.

Like a star shedding its glor-
ious rays over broad prairies
for many miles shone Prairie Lea
school house last Friday evening,
welcoming back to her hallowed
playground old school mates,
former teachers, old friends and
neighbors.
The spacious lawn was beauti-
fully lighted by numerous Ian
terms at the top of tall white posts
and these were entwined with
ropes of asparagus, ferns and
white flowers. The tables were
also profusely decorated with
these same gifts of nature.
Delicious ices and cakes were
served on the lawn to the young
and in the school room to the old
Everybody came out and
amused and enthused, going
about with hearts as light, and
spirits gay, as when they trod
this happy playground a barefoot
child at play.
A shadow of sadness fitted ove1
all only at mention of Mr.. j. L
Shobe, for at our last gathering HI
honored us with his presence anC
a few well chosen words of en-
couragement and praise for oui
school work. This little inciden
of happy memory was recalled b,
many and his name was spoken il
deepest reverence.
A nice little sum was realized
for the benefit of the school Ii
brary, not so much as was anti
cipated, however, on account o
the sudden fall in temperature
that evening, but a good mes
egg is started and more is sure t,
follow.

1t would be useless to urge
that crowds as large as we had
last week could all be pleased.
Some said we had too many Re-
publican speakers, some said the
speakers were too solemn, others
said we had too much comic stuff:
some thought the music not good
at all, and thousand other com
plants were made. One lady
said she wished they could hear
her daughter play, they would
know what good music is then.
One old gentleman sitting near me
said to another on Wednesday:
So that is Thauviu's great band.
Why, they don't know nothing
about music. Why don't they
play some sort of a tunel If that

The Message has no criticism
against the Chautauqua manage
ment because it wanted a guaran-
tee of so much money if it return
ed next year That was business
and right. But there is one
smaller matter we always have
objected to, they should not sell
reserved seats. That's a money
grab: selling and reserving seats
after they have really already
been sold. Every man who buys

others i'm his choice Of a seat un-
