DETROIT, Sept. IA mighty
horde of roadbuilders and persons in
terested in the better construction
and maintenance of highways and
streets are descending upon Detroit
for the third annual American Road
Congress- which will begin its ses-
sions on Monday next, continuing
throughout the week. The nation,
states, cities and various good roads
organizations throughout the country
are sending delegates for the largest
road congress in the history of the
world
The first congress was held at Rich
mond. Va, in 1911, when 1000 dele
gates attended. The second was held
last year at Atlantic City with an
attendance of 1000. The public in
terest aroused at these conferences,
and the publicity given to the work
accomplished, has led to the anticipa-
ton of an attendance of nearly 5000
delegates at the present congress.
The congress is under the auspices
of the American Highway Associa-
ton, the American Automobile Asso-
citation and the Michigan State Good
Roads Association. Besides these, %
associations and similar organizations

FAN OLD FEUD
Contest To Be Started to Break
Will of Julia Garrett, PennsyI-
vania's Richest Woman.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. ga con-
test will be made TO break the will of
Julia Garrett. leaving 100000 of
her S10.OO0,0OO estate to her financial
adviser, Isaac T. Starr.
Enmity handed down from genera
ton TO generation for more than 125
years found expression in the will of
the last member Of the distinguished
Garrett family. who died in Villa
nova several weeks ago.
She cut off from participation mem
beTs Of the Dunn family, cousins, be-
cause the Dunns forebears looked
with contempt upon John Garrett,
from whom she was descended, when
he started in an humble way the
manufacture of snuff 13l years ago.
Enmity Is Remembered.
When his business, begun on a
capital of 500 in New Castle County,
Delaware. expanded and he became
wealthy, Garrett remembered the at
titude Of the Dunns Succeeding gem
eratiOns kept the enmity alive, and
of the great fortune that grew from
the original capital of 500 the Dunns,
unless proceedings to break the will
are successful. viii receive an amount
so slight comparatively as to be all
most negligible.
This amount will come to them
through "A personal liking of Miss
Garrett for "A woman who married
into the Dunn family. Her will leaves
$4,000 to Mrs. Dunn, mother of
George Garrett Dunn, a millionaire
banker. As Mrs. Dunn is dead the
money will revert 20 her children

27 Requests Made.
There are q requests in the docu-
ment, and, according to a man who
saw the will. the money left to others
besides Mr.. Starr totals less than
1000 900.
Among the requests are: The Or
thopedic Hospital, $4,000; the Bryn
Mawr Hospital, $4,000; to four serv-
ants, $4,000 each: to relatives other
than the Dunns, $500, 600
Mr.. Starr, who for many years had
been legal adviser to Miss Garrett,
whose town house was at No S24
Pine street has benefited to a large
extent through his connection with
the Garrett family.
When Miss Elizabeth Garrett. sis
ter of Miss Julia, died ten years ago,
she bequeathed to him 100000.
When William T.. Garrett, Jr, a
brother, died fourteen years ago,
Starr was named as executor of the
will His fees and commissions, it
was declared. amounted to $4,000.
The snuff business, from which the
CARROTS made their enormous for
tune, passed from the hands of the
Garrett family in 1900. 1t was sold
10 the American Snuff Company for
approximately SIS. 1000 600. Four years
later the American Snuff Company
was absorbed by the American To-
bacCo Company.
The CARROTS were noted for their
benefaCtions. They took special in
terest in the Pennsylvania Hospital
and made liberal contributions to it.
