WOULD BREAK
BAILEY WILL
Mrs, Hutchinson Saws
Sister Was Victim
of Undue Influence
Charles R. Hutchinson SeiS Forth
Estimate Of Sh0Emal'S
Fortune In AffadaVit

Alleging that the late James A. Bal
Iey's widow, Ruth Louisa Bailey de-
ceased, was undUly influenced IN the
drawing of her viii, Anna, Isabelle
Hutchinson, sistsr of the testatrf1s,e mas
brought suit in the Westchester CoUn-
ty supreme court to have the will set
aside.
Supporting her in her action is her
son, Charles r. Hutchinson. OF this
city, prominently identified for NUM-
Der of years with the Baruum 81 Raj
ley circus executive staff al- for
many years its treasurer.
Mrs. Hutchinson alleges that undue
Influence was eSerted on her sisteE
to make her sign over the residue oG
her estate to Joseph and Theodors
McCaddon and Lille Elizabeth Har-
per, another sister.
It is generally understood the Veter-
an Snowman left an estate valued IN
the neighborhood of 100000, and
his widow at the time of her death
The present action Is directed
against Mrs. Harper and the Mccad-
dons, both individually and as sE-
ecutors of the will.
1t charges that the execution of
Mrs. Bailey's will, If the same was
ever executed by Ruth Louisa. Bailey
was secured by fraud and undue in
fluence whereby the intention and
purpose of the deceased In making a
testamentary disposition of her prop
erty was overcome and destroyed
and the desires of certain of the de-
PENDANTS, including the defendant, Jo=
for.''
Mrs. BaiIey's will left to Mrs. Hutch
inson annual income of $4,000. but
the omission of the latter woman q
name as one of the Iegatees of the res
iduary estate prompted the present
suit. proceedings also have been
started to determine the exact value
In that connection. Mrs. Hutchiu-
sons son, Charles Hutchinson, OF this
city has filed affidavit in which
he asserts that the old circus man left
at least $4.50OO0O
In the year 1898. ne says, the Bar
mum & Bailey circus made net profits
aggregating $e25 eco which was re-
ceived by Bailey personally. he con
tends that the inventory Of the Bailey
estate, showing personal estate of
only 81, ,01S, 419, does not reveal all Of
the Bailey holdings.
Mr. Hutchinson submits figures TO
prove that Mrs. Bailey left at least 81
233 900, which does not include the In
comes from many interests, not Of a
circus nature, with which Bailey was
connected.
81, 1888, 900 when the Barnum g. Bailey
circus was sold, and that Bailey's In
come from Buffalo BilIs show ana
from Forepaugh- Sells circus was
simultaneously with the filing Of
the complaint today, a lis pendens
property. On February next arthur
NJ. johnson, attorney for Mrs. Izutchin-
SON. will apply for an injunction rs-
straining the executors Of Mrs Bats
ley's will from making any disposition
of the property until the Hutehinson
suit has been settled.
Mrs. Bailey died at Hobe Sound. Fls-s
March IL last. Her will was filed IN
the Surrogate court in White Plains
on April 3.
Soon afterward several nieces and
nepheWS of the old circus man began
suit to have the viii set aside. buf
they were unsuccessful.

BODY OF CAREY
FOUND IN BOSTON
MAY BE MURDER
Former Bridgeport
Man Had Two Bull
lets In Remains
Although Given To Suicidal
Threats, No indication Thai
He Did End Life

William l. Carey, 35 years old, I'M
til recently a resident of Bridgeport,
living at 472 State street, has been
found dead in a secluded patch of
woodland In the city of Boston. Two
bullet wounds in his head with the
absence of any powder marks or any
weapon beside him lead the authori-
ties to believe that he was murdered
and carried to the spot where dtscov-
cry was made although it has been
learned that at one time here he
threatened to commit suicide.
Identification of the body was made
through Max stein, OF 172 State street,
this city, who made the clothing worn
by the dead man and also Peter E.
by whom Carey had been employed
until about six months ago when he
left to enter the employ OF his broth
er-in-law at the Kirk Garage, New
Haven. He was still, enga ged at that
place in the occupation Of mechanic at
the time of his death.
Although discovery of the body was
made by the Boston police on Jan
da,ry 16, in small patch of woods at
the foot of Haven street, West Rox-
bury, the local police were not noti-
fled until later, when they were ask
ed to identify the man by Bridgeport
clothing
Carey when found was lying on his
back and rtgid1y cold. There was ex-
body as if 1t had lain there for some
time. No pistol or other weapon was
nearby, although one large bullet hole
wes found just above the left eye,
extending downward in course. Nc
powder marks were perceptibIe either
on the face or hands. Another wound
on the right side, larger and rounder
than that of a. bullet, was badly dis
coIored. There were abrasions of the
skin IN the kn1Ickles of the right
hand.
What was considered as particularly
significant by Medical Examiner
Leary, of Boston, when he viewed the
body, was the fact that congealed
blood below the eye bore the imprint
of q cloth covering. None has been
found who can fully explain the cir
cunnStances of death.
In Bridgeport Carey lived for sew
eral years at the Bel1ew residence, AZ
State street. He was a good me
ol1aa1ic always well dressed and min
gIed freely in all circles At times
he is known to have been melancholy
and at such times is said to have
threatened to end his life. His last
appearance here was Christmas when
he renewed many aeQuaintances. Be
sides a, sister in New Haven, he Is
survived by one brother, a physician
of New York city. Permission fol
his burial today at his birthplace
HolyOke, Mass, has been given by the
Boston officials

BITTER FIGHT
TO PASS anti
TRUST BILLS
Gov. Wilson Fears Delay On
Measure Till. He's Out
of Office
Calls Meeting Of Democratic
Leaders of New Jersey
House and Senate

Trenton, Jan 22-Facing the bitter
est fight in his entire career if he is
to force his antitrust program
through the New Jersey Legislature,
Gov. Wilson, who will retire on March
to become President, today prepar-
party lash over the recalcitrant leg
fslators who are alleged to have
agreed to delay action on the bills I'M
til he CWilson) is out of office and
then smother the legislation.
The Governor sent word to the
Democratic leaders of both the House
and the Senate that he wanted them
to meet with him in the Supreme court
chamber at o'clock next Tuesday
afternoon, to talk over the seven bills
designed to remove the designation of
Mother of trusts from New Jersey.
They have agreed to be present and
it is expected that there will be some
of the pIainest talking on this occa-
sion that ever marked a legislative
conference in the United States.
1t is openly admitted that represen-
tatives of big corporate interests are
already on the ground here to kill the
bills. They are openly counsellirg de-
lay until after Wilson retires as Gov
ernor- The President-eIect will op-
pose this and it is very likely that he
will issue a talk to the voters of the
State if he finds that the antitrust
legislation is to be either emascuIated
or killed.
First. however, he viii give the leg
islative leaders a chance to prove
that they are on the lever and will
do their best to get the laws through.
Il do not think there is opposition
to the corporation bills from any Dem
ocrat," said Gov. Wilson, t'as to their
effect on business the bills are per-
fectIy busineSk-like in their character
They are not sensational or novel.
They are simply an effort to do in a
business like way what the whole
country has agreed upon
Speaking of the report that the
hearings might not be given and the
bills might not pass Before he left
Trenton, he said:
THE bills do not affect special in
terests and therefore there is moth
ing to hold hearings about. If hear
ings were held we would have to hear
the whole of the United States

WOLFE LOSES
ACTION AGAINST
BLUE RIBBON co,

John Wolfe, who sued the Blue
Ribbon Auto 6. Carriage Co. for S1O,-
600, lost his case in the superior court
this morning when Judge Burpee sus-
tained a motion of non-suit filed by
counsel for the Blue Ribbon Co. 1t
was claimed by counsel for the de-
fendant that Wolfe had been guilty
of contributory negligence.
Wolfe brought the action to recover
damages for the loss of four fingers
While employed by the Blue Ribbon
Co in october, 1910, his hand was
caught in a circular saw and badly
mangled. The plaintiff claimed the
saw was defective and that he notified
the foreman of this fact.

April 1, about $4,000. The auditor
recommends an additional approprta-
ton of $4,000. making available for
new pavement during the fiscal year,
including assessmen about 500, 600.
No portion of this money, says the
report, should be expended in any
kind of pavement on which a five year
guarantee cannot be obtained.
After eliminating from his recon-
mendations some of the items asked
for by the fire commissioners, the
auditor says. ''The items eliminated by
me. are for extensions and improve
ments that are no doubt desirable, but
not absolutely necessary. 1t does not
appear to me that we are getting the
benefit of the lower insurance rs,t9 to
which we are entitled as a result of
our modern and efficient fire depart
ment, and the services of its able and
capable chief"
He then recommends increased
compensation for Chief Edward
Mooney, to whose courage and ability
Regarding the police appropriation the
report says, 'I have, as in duty bound,
figured the salaries and numerical
strength of this department on the
basis of the provision of the new ordi-
nance just adopted by the Common
Council. The latter body, has, by
charter, the right and power to regu-
late the members and prescribe the
salaries of the officers and members
ter what my private opinion may be
as to the entire wisdom of the action
taken, have no right to ignore the
councils action OF to fail to provide
fully for all ordinance requirements" J"
Mr.. Heating also devotes some at
tention to the propriety Of bonding.
He says that no bonds should be is-
sued unless approved by referendum,
and he does not regard new school
houses or similar improvement as ap-
propriate objects for bonding, but
classes them az yearly necessities. He
suggests that bonds may properly be
issued for a new almshouse and land
for same, new isolation hospital, new
bridge atS North and GIenwood ave-
nues, and new bridge at North avenue
and Rooster river, IN the First dis
trict, in case the people favor these
improvements. He makes the same
recommend datfon regarding public
comfort stations, land for new park
at North End, and for construction of
boulevard and extension of seawa1 at
Seaside park. all in the Second dis
trict.
He thinks that more voters should
express an opinion when bonds are
submitted to the freemen.
The estimated grand list is $780,
100000. A tax of six and seven
tenths mills in the First district will
realize $712,21O.
The estimated revenue is $251,5Oo
and the total sum to be raised S964,-
0s9.
The estimated receipts of the Sec
ond district are $4,000, the total ap-
propriations are $1,12S,OO441 of which
$1,O42, OO4.41 must be raised by taxa
ton. The total estimated cost of
operating the city for the next fiscal
year fixed by the auditor is therefore
s2,OS7,O93.
