BAP lists TAKE
FORWARD STEP

The Baptists throughout the state
of New Jersey are about to take for
ward step in denominational work. By
authority of the Board of Managers of
the Baptist State Convention, series
OF sectional conferences on statewide
work is now being arranged.
Rev. Chas. o. Wright, of Ridgewood,
has been released by his church for
such time as may be necessary TO set
up and conduct these conferences. The
scheme, as at present arranged, is to
get the men of the Baptist churches
together in different sections of the
state at dinner At this time the Con-
terence Team, patterned somewhat af-
ter the order of the Men and Religion
movement, will speak on the different
phases and opportunities of Baptist
work throughout the State.
Mr.. F. w. Aver, the President Of
the New Jersey Baptist Convention, in
speaking of these conferences, says
They will undoubtedly bring home
10 every individual Baptist the real
significance of this denomination in
the State"
1t is proposed to hold three of these
conferences in the southern part OF
the state, three in the central part, and
three in the northern part of the state.
A strong effort is being made to Sc
cure large representation from every
cne of the 249 Baptist Churches
throughout the state. AS this means
a membership of $1,000, in all proba-
bility more than 1000 men will be in
conference about Baptist work
throughout the state within the next
| two months.

DIAnEAT WILL
IS PROBAlEO
Judge Tuller Finally Ad-
mits Will.
THE CASE MAY GO UP
Long Argument Follows Testi-
mony and Finally Will
Is Probated.


G. Diament will, SO far as the Cumber-
land Orphans Court is concerned,
came yesterday afternoon when Judge
R. P. Tuller ordered the will admitted
to probate. This may or may not fin
ally dispose of the matter. Should the
caveators take the case to the higher
courts, and it was stated yesterday by
one of them, that this would be the
program, there may be years of liti-
cation.
The proceedings in the court pre-
ceding the final announcement of
Judge Tuller, follows:
Harry Diament testified that he
was with his father few days before
nis DEATH at his fathers home, and at
this visit his father told him he had
/ made new will and everything was
all right, and that he was sorry that
he and his son had any words of diff
Guilty.
DR.. E. L. Diament was called by
1
father shortly before his death. The
| Gather met him at the trolley at Cedar
| Vile and said he didn't want him to
go down to the house, as he was hav-
ing trouble there. His father told him
he had made a new will and hoped
everything would be all right.
L Wy ~
madesthe statement the will ought not
to be probated, as the evidence now
stood.
I've court said, at the present time,
though his mind was open 10 persua-
sion, he thought the will ought to be
probated.
Judge Wescott then said that the
question of undue influence on the
part of Mrs. Evan should be taken up.
He then proceeded to argue that there
was no proof that the paper put in the
stove by Mr. Diament was the codicil,
tnat months after this alleged act, Mr..
Diament had told his two sons that
he had made a new will, and that Mr..
Diament would have reason to know
that destroying codicil was not the
way to annul the codicil, but that il
must be revoked by new codicil.
Judge Wescott proceeded to argue
against the probate of the will and TO
cite authorities sustaining his argu-
ment. His conclusions were that the
will could be probated-if probated at
ALTO the extent of the portions which
did not include any bequests to Mrs.
Lwan, as the codicil of August 18th
revoked all bequesIs to her, but did
not relate to other portions of the
will. Under the law, he said, the will
could not be probated at all, as it is.
This court, he said, is powerless TO
probate this will. If the court should
allow the probate of this will he sug-
gested that they be allowed to review
this question at a subsequent court,
this courts time having been shortly
terminated
After a brief argument by Mr.. Ware,
the matter of the courts power was
left for further consideration, and
John S. Ware, by mutual agreement,
was appointed administrator pendente
lite. The matter Of undue influence
may or may not be taken up during
the litigation which may follow.
made by Mr.. Ware, Judge Tuller al
lowed the will to be probated, signing
the order for its probate, giving the
caveators the right to appeal, as above
stated

Set For This Afternoon-Trustees, Counsel for ststs Commissioners and Others To Confer.

An Informal gathering for a confer ence between trustees of the Putnam Savings bank, the counsel for the bank State Attorney Charles E. Searis, who is to break off his vacation for the time being to come here from Nan- tucket, Judge ". F. Henney of Hart ford: the state bank commissioners and their counsel Attorney J. F. Car penter, is announced to be held here this (Friday afternoon.) Just what phases of the banks troubles ara b be discussed at this gathering was not given out Thursday, but the results rronise TO be of interest it Is. hoped that the conference may open a way for the early adjustment of the insti- tution's difficulties. 3
 It was statel Thursday that mass meeting of the banks depositors Is to he called soon. but the date has not been fixed. There are more than 1000 depositors.
 A feature of the bank matter that seems entirely uncalled for Is the num- Der of wildcat stories that circulate with absolutely no foundation and are the cause of worry to depositors, Those who know about the affairs of the institution gay that 1t win emerge from it's present troubles quickly once some agreements are reached and that it will rapidly regain it's strength The banks income is not impaired though the market value of some oi it's securities has diminished An al- vance in bonds, which must come sooner or later, would help the insfI- tutior wonderfully.

Reproduction of Moose Home

Billy WelIes who has the record for original window displays. has broken his own record in the instance of his tribute to the Moose carnival. MT. Welles has installed a perfect miniature representation of the Moose home and grounds in his window. The cardboard house, the work of John Collins. is drawn to scale-tinted and decorated to perfectly resemble the new home In front of the house a lawn of colored sawdust extends to sidewalk made of tiny cement blocks. Foliage is planted on the lawn and hedge made from sprigs of the orig inal hedge fronting the property and invisibly held in place by cement, edges the sidewalk. The arched en- trance to the grounds topped by cleo tric lights, is reproduced in detail, while the warm red glow emanating from the building is produced by means of a big red light affixed to the back of the pasteboard replica. Au- tomobiles are passing in front Of the house and tiny signs lacked to each give the import of the picture through the sentiments of the tourists. The work is of more than usual merit.
