WEES DAUGHTER
 INHERfTS ESTATE.
Wife Whom Edey Murdered Named as
 Beneficiary in His Will.

Riverhead, N. Y, Jan. 27.-The wife that Henry c. Edey, a retired Wall street broker, killed at their home in Bellport, L. l., about a month ago, is will filed today for probate. Edey committed suicide. The value of the estate is estimated at several hundred thousand dollars.
 The will is dated during the period just before Edey and his wife separat- ed and evidently not this separa ton nor their reconciliation and the sub sequent quarrel that eliminated in the murder and suicide caused him to make a change. Mrs. Edey's death lets the property revert to Mary E. Edey, the testator's daughter by. former marriage.

TO FORCE DEMOCRATS
 TO TRANSACT BUSINESS.
Republican Senators Planning to Have
 Continuous Session of Senate.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The republican fight for the confirmation of President Taft's 1900 appointments now pend ing in the senate will come to a head tomorrow, when a republican caucus will be asked by republican leaders to bind it's members to a continuous ses- sion behind closed doors in an effort to break down democratic opposition.
 The caucus has been called ostensi- bly, to take up the proposal made by the democrats for a joint committee to weed out the Taft appointments and select certain ones that shall be cOn- firmed. It Is understood that promt- nent republicans will submit to tho caucus a proposed plan by which tho m members would bind themselves to at tempt to hold the senate continuously in session until the democrats could be forced to give way and permit general consideration of all appoint ments. It is believed tonight that many of the republicans will not agree to the suggested plan.
 Since the democratic fight against the Taft appointments began num- Der of executive sessions have been held, but the democrats have kept up a general filibuster and have prevented action on more than three or four nominations.

 "It was the disposition of all the governors to be as helpful as possi- ble. We recognized that it was not a case for critical and drastic action so much as it was case for cons tructive work"

Professor Fishers reply, under the
 same date follows:
 My Dear Dr. Shanklin:
 Tn reply to your letter just re-
 ceived, would say that the report of my remarks before the Get-Together
 club in Hartford last Wednesday
 evenine was substantially misleading. Partly by the omission of qualifying statements which made the setting and shape the interpretation, partly
 by ascribing to me words and state ments which were not mine at all, and perhaps partly by the striking head lines which raised brief incidental re- marks into the prominence of the principal theme, the original report, upon which apparently many news paper quotations and comments have been based, was, as should judge, de- cidedly unfair. This judgment of mine is confirmed in some degree at least by the fact that the paper in which the report appeared was constrained by criticism in Hartford to offer me an opportunity to make corrections.
 There was, however, a large under lying element of truth in the report I did not say that I would throw Sun day wide open or anything else of closely similar meaning. But I did say that would allow very great freedom of Sunday observance. Allowing a man pretty nearly anything that did not disturb the religious or other use of the day by others. I did say that l saw no religious inconsistency in mans having an 'uproariously good time on Sunday, but I &dded that there should be no disturbance of the religious or other uses of the day by others. I did say that I would or that T believed that I would close up the churches temporarily as an experi- ment.' But I stated my reasons with emphasis, because so many good re- ligious people had come to think of churchgoing as a great part, or the whole of religious duty, or because if there were no churches open for a time these people would be constrained to turn to more important religious duties of kindly service and the like. Just here quoted the declaration of James as to the meaning of religion pure and 
 'sThe above will perhaps enable you to judge for yourself as to the degree of accuracy with which I was repdTt- ed; but for slight amp1ihcation of what [ have just written I am enclosing Qopy of a letter which I sent in correc- tfon of the first report and which was printed in the paper first reporting in It's issue of last Saturday morning, l Jan. 25.
 Of course, not even all what I am | now placing at your disposal can | make entirely clear my general atti- | -ude as to Sunday obseryances; but it l $ probably quite enough to make you

Electoral Vote
 of Arizona Lost
MESSENGER FAILS TO ARRIVE AT
 WASHINGTON
TIME LIMIT EXPIRES
Started For National Capital Ten Days Aso-Arzona Can be Deprived of It's Vote in the Electoral College.

Washington Jan. 27.-Lost: The electoral vote of Arizona and its bear CT. Finder please send at once to the office of the vice president of the United States.
 Carries Three Votes.
 Senators and representatives of the baby state of Arizona sent broadcast tonight the foregoing notice when at 6 o'clock the time limit had expired for receiving returns from the national election last November, and Wilfred T. Webb, custodian of three perfectly good votes for Woodrow Wilson and Thomas R. Marshall. had failed to ap- pear at the vice presidents office in the capitol.
 Arizona keenIy Disappointed.
 Arizona's patriots and legislators were much perp1exed and disappoint- ed, for, though no political upheaVal would be caused should the three lit tie votes never be found, they did not want missing from history's archives Arfzona's first vote for the chief exec utive of the nation.
 Left Ten Days Ago.
 For twenty-four hours before the vice presidents office was closed for the night with every electoral vote ex- cept Arizonas on file. a systematic search of Washington hotels and clubs had been conducted in vain for Elector Webb, who, it was known, had left Phoenix with his credentials more than ten days ago, due to arrive here Saturday. Until a late hour tonight the wires were kept singing with mes sages to points between here and St. Louis in the hope of discovering some information as to the whereabouts of the missing messenger.
 Last Heard from at St. Louis.
 Webb was last heard from in St. Louis four or five days ago, but his friends could get no word of him from there tonight. Louisville was also sought for information, but none was forthcoming.
 Arizona Might Lose It's Vote.
 Under the law the elector chosen to bring to Washington the returns from Arizona should have filed his papers by 6 o'clock tonight at the latest. If the penalty for failure should be en- forced Arizona would lose it's vote in the electoral college and the official messenger lose his mileage for the trip. The duplicate set of Arizona's ballots that were sent by mail are on hand and it is probable that no pen atty will be enforced if Webb arrives tomorrow. Meanwhile Arizona's rep in congress are nervous 1 y awaiting developments.

PROF. FISHER RESIGNS
 CHAIR AT WESLEYAN.
Called For by President in Conse-
 quence of Recent Speech.

Middletown, Conn, Jan. 27.-Prof. Willard C. Fisher. who has held the at Wesleyan university for number of years, announced his resignation this afternoon.
 Professor Fisher said he did not care to make a statement at this time. He is a Cornell graduate and before coIn- Brown university. He is considered an authority on the subject of econo- mics and has written considerably.
 In recent years he has been much in the public eye because of his interest in politics. After serving as a mem- Der of the court of common council, he was chosen mayor on the demo- cratic ticket. His administration was marked by the introduction of reform measures. He advocated particularly the abolishment of the so-called 'blue laws" regarding Sunday observance. How ever, he closed<the stores up tight on Sunday, after complaints had been made to him, for which action he was subjected to considerable criticism He caused the arrest of the late Henry Woodward, a well known druggist, for selling a cigar on Sunday. The case was taken to the -'' court, where Judge Pearne handed down a decision in favor of MT. Woodward.
 Professor Fisher was defeated when he ran for mayor again, but two years later was again successful, winning by less than 100 votes.
 Within the past few years he has frequently appeared before the legis- lature. earnestly advocating employ CTS liability and worIingmens com pensation laws. He also worked for a bill for a more liberal Sunday. His recent address at Hartford, in which he favored a wide open" Sunday, caused considerable comment.
 Correspondence Preceding Resignation
 Professor Fisher made public tonight the correspondence that had passed between him and President Shanklin.
 The first letter written by Presi- dent Shanllin under date of Jan. 27, 1913, follows:
 My Dear Professor Fisher:
 ''The press far and wide contains articles in reference to the churches of the country reputed to have been uttered by you in a recent address in Hartford.
 T desire to know whether or not you have been correctly reported. If you have been incorrectly reported, will you please give me an exact statement of what you did say?
 Very sincerely yours.
