BEST LEGAL TALENT
ENGAGED FOR TRIAL
Much Interest Manifested in
Suit to Break Will of Late
d. M. Hankins.

Much of eastern Indiana's best legal
talent will participate in the hearing
of the suit of Mary Belle ChitwoOd,
venued from Fayete county, to break
the will of Daniel NJ Hankins, of Con-
nersville, who died more than a year
ago. leaving an estate valued at $4O,-
900. The trial will begin her next
Monday under Judge Fox.
The suit is attracting more atten-
ton in Fayette county than any that
has been fled in the courts there in
years.
Manford E. Dale, manager of the
Dale Cemetery association, and execu-
tor of the will, which was presented as
the last of the rich widower, is the
chief defendant. William ]. Hankins.
brohter of Daniel Hankins, is also
named, along with the Dale Cemetery
association, Warren Lodge, No. 15, F..
and A. NJ, of Connersville, Isabel An
sted, and the Connersville Trinity
Episcopal church.
The disposition of the estate is
clouded under the terms of the will.
The brother is left a small share in
trust. The sister of Mr.. Hankins is
not named in the will, and is left no
share of the estate.
Mrs. Chitwood, the sister, will be
represented by Forkner & Forkner of
New Castle, Thomas J. Study of this
city, and l.. L. Broaddus of Corners
vile. The defendants will be repre-
sented by Byram Robbins of Rich
mond, J. H. Claypool Of indianapolis,
Conner & Conner of COnnersville and
David Mckee, a member of a Con-
nersville law firm. 1t is understood
that more than fifty witnesses will
testify in the suit.

CITY TO INSTALL
PLANT GENERATOR
New Machine Equals Capac-
ity of Two Other Manu-
factures.

The new 1000 k. W. generator at the
municipal light plant will be ready
for operation next Wednesday.
This was the announcement made
by Supt. Kleinknecht today. The new
switchboard and the big generator will
be inspected by experts the first of the
week
Lacking $50 k. W. the new generator
equals the capacity of the other two
generators and the turbine at the
plant, so its installation means that
the plants capacity will be almost
dOu bled.
when the big generator is placed
in operation the city plant will be able
to handle all the business in the city,
Kleinknecht said.
''The plants business is growing by
leaps and bounds" he continued. "In
January 112 new connections were
made and so far this month fifty new
connections have been made"
If the state commission authorizes
a reduction in the city plants rates
Kleinknecht is anticipating doing a
land office business.

JUNE WILL SHOW | EFFECT IF TARIFF ON DRESS GOODS Results Were Expected to be Very Favorable to the
 Consumer WILL NOT BE FELT
 TILL SEASON OPENS Many Foreign Statesmen Are Expected to be Here Not Later Than June Who Will Quote Much
 Lower Prices
Ny HOLLAND. i

:! New York March 31-(Special) )-Some- 1 time in June there may be better oppor- 1 tunities to judge what the effect of the new tariff law with respect to impor- tations and prices is than has been pos sible since the law was put upon the statute books. There have been all kinds trifling effect so far of the reduced tariff
 An explanation of present conditions at least so far as the dress goods business is concerned was made this morning by one of those who are in high authority in this department of mercantile life. This man is convinced that not until the markets for dress goods begins, month or six weeks hence, will it be possible ac- cuately to guage the influence of the tariff upon this market.
 Dress goods constitute one of the com modities marketed in large amounts in the United States which, it was presumed, would be favorably and largely affected by the new tariff law. The presumption was that commodities of this kind would be offered to American consumers at prices considerably under those which were maintained under the higher protec- protective tariff.
 But it has been observed that since the new tariff law went into effect there has been practically no difference In the prices to consumers of this kind of com modity. Therefore a nasty inference has been made that the new tariff law is disappointing, at least so far as dress goods are concerned.
 Whether it is disappointing or not Is not to be authoritatively known probably un- til after midsummer begins. The Ameri- can iobbers and manufacturers of dress goods, which constitute very large part of American mercantile business, are ready in May, usually. to take orders for goods to be delivered from eight S.o F months later. For instance, dress goods which will be accepted by the retailers and dealers in May of this year represent orders which were given for the most part in May or June of last year When the tariff bill was under discussion in Congress a few representatives of foreign dress goods manufactories visited the United States for the purpose of market
 ing some goods if they could. But it was observed that they brought old patterns and that, on the whole, the American products were better suited to the mar lSets of year ago than those represented by the samples brought by the foreign salesmen.
