COURT HOLDS WILL
MUST BE EXECUTED
Court in Suit Over Ander-
son Will

Holding that the evidence in the
case might be construed equally well
to prove only uuselfish brotherly mo-
tives rather than an attempt at un-
due Influence, the supreme court yes.
terday reversed the lower court in the
case of Rose l.. Anderson against He
ber and John Anderson as executors of
the will Of Paul Anderson, deceased
On behalf of herself and her three
year old son, Rose Anderson sued in the
district court to have set aside the will
of her husband, Paul Anderson, a
wealthy shecpman, who died October
l3, 1909. She charged that the de.
PENDANTS had used undue influence IN
will and also that the latter lacked
tcstamentary capacity. Tho will left
valuable property to the brothers,
though at the same time making large
provision for the widow and child
in the lower court jury found that
the decedent had been of sound and
disposing mind when he made the will,
hut in special findings it held that the
defendants had been guilty of using
undue influence. On these findings the
lower court ordered stricken those pro
visions of the will found to have been
made as a result of the undue influ-
ence
The defendants appealed After a
thorough review Of the evidence the
higher court concludes that it in no
wise substantiates the charges of undue
influence. The actions of the brothers
just prior to the decedent S death are
found to have been inspired apparently
by pure brotherly love and concern for
the welfare Of their kinsman.
Paul Anderson left big sheep ranch
in Idaho and about $4,000 in personal
property, according to the evidence
brought out at the trial.

PROVO. May 9.--Thc antl-prohlbtlon
element here today announced that unless
the city commissioners called an election
for June 81 they would bring a suit OF
mandamus TO compel them TO do so. This
Will be done in case the commissioners
refuse 10 call the election after the city
recorder makes his official report.
Former Mayor w. IL. Ray and his fol-
lowers have been doing some figuring
on the registration lists and they al
lege that there are 40 names OF per-
sons on the registration books which are
either dead or have moved away, and
there are fifty-SeYen names on the reg
lstration lists in the First and Second
wards which appear on the lists In an
other ward. The other districts have not
yet been carefully cauvassed, but it Is
held that there are about 1880 names on
the registra tion list which should be in
vestigated as TO their right TO be there.
II these are stricken off, that would re-
duce the registered voters from 1856 to
1926 and the number required on the petit
tion to G32 instead of 905, according TO

commissioners in calling the election.

To COMBINE GRADES
WHERE It IS BEST

At an executive session of the state
board Of education yesterday afternoon
in the offices of a. c. Nelson, state
superintendent of public instruction. 1t
was decided that in some counties OF
the state, the seventh and eighth grades
OF grammar school may be taught IN
the high school buildings. II was also
decided that the ninth grade, or the
first year in high school, may be taught
by teachers who are not entirely quail
fled rs high school instructors. This
latter decision carries with it the re-
strictions that the teacher must have
had at least five years experience and
must pass an examination covering the
branches to be taught. Certain other
minor restrictions are also placed on
these teachers.
This decision on the part of the state
board of education comes as a result OF
numerous petitions from county super
intendcuts of the state who have con
tended that bv handling the seventh,
eighth and ninth grades IN conjunction,
in certain cases, better results might
be obtained
The board voted to ask the state
agricultural college TO furnish an ex-
pert on agricultural subjects to accom-
pany Mosiah Hall, state high school in
spector, on tour Of inspection of high
schools, of the state The agricultural
subject is new one in the high schools
of Utah and it is thought that by hav.
ing an expert give lectures and demon
strations the work may be made more
profitable. The board will ask the
state farming school to call a conven-
tion of high school teachers soon after
the end Of the school year to discuss
the problems that have arisen in the
agricultural work in the high schools
of the state.
