SEEKS SECOND WILL
IN CUTTER ESTATE
Cousin of Drug Mans Widow
Has BeneficiarieS Sum-o
mOned to Court.

Another effort to prevent the probate
Of the will of Mrs. Amelia Gertrude
Cutter on file in the Surrogates' Court
was made yesterday when George W
:. Lent, a cousin of the teststrix, OBJ
tanned from Surrogate COhalan an or
der directing several persons to appear
in the Surrogates' Court and be ex-
amined as to their knowledge of an
other will. which it is alleged Mrs.
Cutter made.
The tcstatrix was the wife of Henry
r. Cutter, one of the founders Of Hege>
man & Co.. now known as the Riker-
Hegeman Company Her husband left
his entire estate, valued at about ST.
100000, to his wife, who survived him
only a short time. Mrs. Cutter left
requests to several persons who were
mentioned in her husbands will as con-
t.ngent legatecs who were to receive
the requests only in case Mrs. Cutter
predeceased him. The bulk of her es-
tate she left 70 her executors to be
distributed among charitable lnstltu-
tIOns.
Contests have been filed against the
Wills of Mr. and Mrs. Cutter on the
ground that they did not have tesla
mentary capacity when they made their
wills. Mr.. Cutter was eighty-four years
old when he died and his wife was more
than seventy. One of the contestants
of the will of Mr.. Cutter was James
II. Montgomery, author of Ready
Money" and other plays, who is a
grandson Of the testator.
The order issued yesterday requires
the presence in court of DR.. Henry w.
Frauenthal. McMaster Mills, Frank NJ.
Tichenor, George II. Taylor, Messmore
Kendall and Robert Goellnicht. Tiche-
nor was the attorney for the Cutters,
and Mills. manager Of the Plaza Branch
Of the Union Trust Company, was
named as one of the executors. They
and Dr.. Frauenthal were among the
benehciarics under the will now on file.

Barnes's Effect on the Whitman Candi-
dacy.


The Utica Press" reports IA very considerable
and perceptible waning of Whitman sentiment up
state" and comments that his boom was biggest
when it began" That was be expected. Up to
the time Of the Whitman-RooSryet controversy
the District Attorney and Mr. Hedges were the only
seekers after the Governorship nomination, and Mr..
Whitman was easily the leader. Since then the
glamour which enthusiastic press notices shed on
him has been subjected to careful scrutiny, and he
has been invited to measure IN to 4 standard OF
comparison set by Mr.. Humans record Of years
Of anti-bosSiSm and legislative achievement The
man who, failing Roosevelts Endorsement, accepted
Barnes's support, could not measure up to that
standard. The Republicans upstate have taken his
measure.
Mr. Whitman has been an excellent District At
orney. so coed that even his acceptance of Il Tam
many nomination here TO make .c-Clection sure in
a hard campaign did not divorce public esteem
from him. But that is not CROUCH basis for service
i'm the Executive Chamber. il there is better
qualified man in the running. And when the Kan
with the lesser qualifications is the picked by
Barnes to enable him to re.an his grip on he
party organization the reasons against such a
nomination seem conclusive Mr. Whitman is a bal
candidate in the primaries because he has been
willing to serve as Barncss stalking horse. Even
Barnes'S closest friends must know what Barnes
has cost he party. If they be true, loyal Rcpub-
Leans, they must. be highly dubious about support
ing candidate who. if nominated. would have to
go into an election fight hearing Barncss brand.
Hinman has the experience necessary for best
service. He is pronouncedly against Barnes lie
could get Progressive and independent support
Whitman, if nominated, would be nominated by
the Barnes elemept As Il Barnes nominee, he
could not hope for the necessary independent vot
to elect him against fairly united Democracy.

EDISON SOLVES ACID NEED

West Orange, n. j., Sept. 3d.
Thomas A. Edison has overcome what
threatened to be a serious problem as
result OF the European war. Large
quantities of carboli: acid are used
in his works, which, when running on
full time, employ six thousand men
and women. This product was obtained
entirely from England and Germany.
1t is impossible to get any from the
latter country, while England hesi-

GET RID OF BOSS" BARNES
Vote for Human and the Republican

To Tho Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: / hope the enrolled Republi-
cans of New York will take advantage
of the opportunity offered next Monday
to forever get rid of Boss" Barnes.
For years we have recognized that
his influence was evil. We have said
that BARNES must 60" Now comes
the time to act
He pretends to fool the people by
stating just before the primaries chat
he has retired, but he still dominates
the party, just as his partner in poll
tics, Murphy, continued to rule the
Democratic party even after the
dummy" Osborne was made chairman.
Kill Barnes by voting against his
candidate. A vote for Hinman is a
vote for the Republican party and a
vote against bossism.
Republican voters, do your duty.

Sir: In an article in your issue OF
September 20 it was stated that it Is
unquestionable that an automatic COT
is superior to the bayonet in a charge.
Well, having been in a few ccraps and
used both in Afghanistan, Zululand
Egypt and South Africa, in my opinion
the bayonet is best, for the following
reasons: First, It never misses fr,:
second, you have not TO reload m the
