William H. Miller, known as Pleasant View. Miss Maher was represented by Attorney John C. Geary.
 The property owned by Miss Whip pie in Jefferson avenue consisted of a lot, on which stood the house In question. and another empty lot ad- joining it. The question is whether Miss Whipple. in her bequest, intend- ed to give only the house and the lot on which it stood, or whether the ad- joining lot was included. The matter is further complicated by the fact that Captain Miller owns three or four houses opposite the property involved, all of which are designated Pleasant View.
 Morris B. Payne, civil engineer, tes- tified to being shown a plan or the whipple property, and of the Miller property opoSite, showing the loca- ton of the house and lot in question, and the Miller roerty. MT. Payne tes- tified that the two lots were divided by fence.
 | Thomas Howe testified that he han died the real estate of Miss Whipple and had been called by her to sell her property with the exception of house and lot in Jefferson avenue. This he had heard Miss Whipple say she in tended to bequeath to Miss Maher. He said that it had been Miss Whipple intention to sell the lote adjoining the house and lot. as it had been placed in his hands to sell. in the December preceding her death Miss Whipple had purchased the property several years ago. at which time the land in question was designated as two lots. although one deed covered the trans fer. -

NEW SPEED STROKES WILL
 REVoLUTIoNIZE SWIMMING.
That They Are as Good For Distance as For SPrints.

The New York Tribune marathon swim held lately over the Battery to Sandy Hook course promises to revolu- tioniZe conditions in the field of long, distance swimming. It has been the prevalent opinion up to the present that speed races and tests of endur- ance were things totally apart, to be taken separately and approached from opposite angles. with different strokes. But Sundays great contest shattered the theory at a blow.
 Not only did George Meehan of Bos- ton. an exponent of the latest crawl and middle distance swimmer new to the marathon game. win the coveted event, badly beating Samuel Richards and Charles Durborow, who have made almost life study of out-and -out dis tance work. but several sprint special ists. Walter Dunn and George Essel- born among them were credited with sterling performances, although prae- 'tically serving their novitiats over the longer courses.
