COURT IS ASKED TO
SOLVE WILL TANGLE
Louis F. Beck Bequeathed
Bonds in Will, Then Sold
Them Before Death.

The Federal Trust Company as ex-
ecutor of the estate of the late Louis
F. Beck, was the complainant in u
will contest today In Chancery Court
before Vice Chancellor Stevens. Tire
suit was brought to receive instruc-
lions as to how the trust company Is
to dispose of the estate in view of the
fact that certain property named in
the will does not appear in the tes-
tators estate at present.
Mr. Beck bequeathed fifteen New
ark city bonds at four per cent to
one of his heirs at the time he made
his will. Before his death he dis
posed of these bonds at $1,000 each.
The Federal Trust Company.s at
torney, Waldron M. Ward. asked the
court for authority to give the bond
heirs the equivalent in money.
The tweney-one heirs named in the
will entered into an agreement to
have the value of the bonds distrib-
uted according to the testator's evil
dent intention. The various heirs
were represented as defendants In
the action today by Ralph e. Lum,
Robert S. Terhune George E. Clymer
and Charles E. Pilgrim.
Vice-Chancellor Stevens announced
that ne. would enter q decree author
iZing the Federal Trust Company to
dispose of the $4,000, which is the
money realized on the city bonds, as
the testator evidently intended to be-
queath the property.

F. D. ROOSEVELT
WILSON'S CHOICE
For N. Y. Governor in Event OF
GIynn's Bowing TO
Tar many.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE at
tention of che Democratic leaders is
fixed upon Governor GIynn and his
Legislative program at Albany What
answer is to be made to the Presi-
dents demand? Will he join with
the national administration and the
New Yort, city administration in
starving Murphy out Of power? viii
he bargain with Murphy to get his
legislation passed by a Tammany
majority in Senate and Assembly?
If by the first of January Governor
Glynn gives satisfactory proof of par
fiality to Murphy, then there is
strong reason to believe that the fed
eral administration will begin to in
dictate its preference for someone be-
side Martin H. Glynn TO lead the
Democratic ticket In New York next
fail. Today the choice OF the admin
istration is the assistant secretary Of
the navy, Franklin D. Roosevelt. who
left the New York State Senate
shortly after his reelection to take
his present position in Washington.
Senator Roosevelt fulhlls in all re-
spects the Wilson ideal. He is young,
up State Democrats of the independ-
ent type make il certain that IL he
were nominated and elected governor
he would be able to assist in the up
building of strong upstate Demo-
cratic party which would at least
hold Murphy to New York city.
On several occasions since he came
to Washington he has served as the
spokesman of the Wilson administra-
lion in New York matters. He Is am
bilious, and he belongs to the type of
young men which has lately occupied
commanding places in both the Pro
gressive and Republican parties His
popularity UP the State is considera-
BILE.
There is every disposition in the
world to recognize Governor Glynu IL
he meets the test which the Wilson
administration has frankly put UP TO
him. The legislation which he is
now striving to have passed at AL
bany Is wholly approved by the Pres
ident. his direct primary recommen-
dations follow closely the Presidents
own legislation while governor of New
Jersey, and If he succeeds in having
them passed there is no disposition
here to minimize the value of the
achievement or the reward he will de-
serve.
On the other hand. there is some
apprehension here lest in his effort to
pass this legislation he may make a
bargain with Tammany Hall. which
will measurably diminish the effect
iveness of the patronage blockade
which the President, with the aid of
the rnayor-elect Of New York, is en-
deavoring to throw around Murphy.

Burlesque Queen at Empire
Philosophers About Shows
Miss Dolly Morrissey Says Art
Is Not Confined to
Legitimate"

Miss Dolly Morrissey, who is star
ring this year in Max Spiegers "Col-
lege Girls Company and who is at
present filling a weeks engagement
at Miners Empire Theatre, forsees
the day when burlesque will stand in
the public estimation as no less legiti-
mate a form of dramatic entertain
ment than any other.
THE status of burlesque Is in the
rise in America" she says, land be-
lfeVe that in d few years it will be
the recognized form of entertainment
Some of the cities we visit have been
backward in accepting us, but only
few managers have found that q
snappy, bright entertainment can be
given without resorting to coarse jest
ing, and they are rewriting and re-
casting their shows to meet the popu-
lar demand, which is for a clean,
wholesome, attractive show that will
give offense to none.
"Burlesque and variety got a bad
name a long time ago and have been
trying to live down their regulations
Time was when q self-respecting
woman imagined she should not walk
on the side of the street where there

his big strokes of policy was to
cleanse the variety stage of vulgar

now doing for itself.
or course, burlesque has only one
aim-that is to amuse; there are no
problems to be solved. The critics
do not wrangle over the harmonic
liberties that composers take with our.
music. 1t is just for fun. Our audi
ences understand that and if they
laugh they are satisfied and so are
we. But burlesque audiences are not
easy to please. They are critical;
they have been to the theatre a great
deal. as q general rule. and they
know the good from the bad
Plenty of comedians in hurlesQue

All of the artists In the profession
are not in musical comedy or the

i believe that burlesque pays bet
ter than any form of entertainment
outside of an exceptional success in
legitimate drama. A typical burlesque
show costs from $1,000 to $10,000-we
think nothing of spending $1,000 on
cur costumes alone-the costumes
for the chorus will average $1,000:
besides there are the scenery and
properties.
The chorus and other people are
well paid In burlesque-better in some
instances than In musical comedy
We pay chorus girls as high as $50
a week, while / believe the price in
other musical shows fiuctuates some
what below that figure.
