DIES AS He HOLDS
PEN TO SIGN WILL
Patrick Brennan, of East Or
ange, Stricken at Critical
Moment.

just as he was being handed a pen
to attach his signature to his will,
which had been hastily drawn early
today, Patrick Brennan, seventy-two
years old, of So Cambridge street,
East Orange. died of heart disease.
Aroused from bed at o'clock, Re-
corder Francis A. Mott, jr., speeded
to Brennan's home in an automobile
to draft the will BY the dim light Of
an oil lamp the magistrate Jotted
down the disposition of Brennan's
ceSh and real estate in the kitchen
and then went to the mans bedroom
to let him read the document.
After scrutinizing the will, Bren-
nan said 1t was satisfactory, and Re-
corder Mott was reaching to hand him
the pen when he fell back in bed
He was still breathing, but was I'M
conscious Brennan's son-in-iaw,
Owen Lynch, sent for DR.. Ste
phen G. Lee. but by the time the ply
stefan arrived the man was dead.
Brennan's daughter, Mrs. Lynch,
and her husband, were witnesses of
the will. but ii has not been definitely
determined whether the document
will be held of legal value. Recorder
Mott believes the document is a nun
cupative will, which, under the law, Is
similar to an oral will. A nuncupa-
tive will, 1t is understood, has been
held legal where the person making
will died without having opportu-
nity to sign it. The magistrate pro-
noses to investigate whether the doc
ument can be admitted to probate.
In the will Brennan bequeaths $500
to son, William Brennan, who is IN
the West and his house and properly
to his only daughter, Mrs. Lynch. II
the will is not probated. the cash and
real estate of the dead man viii have
to be divided equally between the son
and daughter.
Though he had been i'll from a COM
nlication of ailments, and appeared 10
he suffering considerably last night,
Brennan's death occurred quite I'M
expectedly. Toward midnight he had
pren,onitlon that ne was soon to
die. and advised that lawyer be OBJ
tanned to draw up his will. When
Mr. and Mrs. Lynch realized he was
fast declining, they decided to call
Recorder Mott.
When the magistrate arrived at
Brennan's home, he was sitting on
the front porch, and, although aware
of his serious condition, Recorder
Mott thought he would have sufficient
time to prepare the will.
Brennan. who was born in Ireland,
had been a resident of East Orange
for wears. He was a gardener by
profession and was well-knoWn In
the Elmwood section of the city.
Complete arrangements for the
funeral have not been made.

.RoseIand Man Changes Mind
About Paying Dog License

Instead Of going to jail. as he said
he would. rather than pay fine of
81 for falling to obtain license for
his pet dog, George Cakes, a wealthy
resident of Roseland, today paid the
sum With about a dozen other resi-
dents of the town. Cakes was ar
raigned before Recorder Kelly yester-
day and given forty eight hours to
pay the fine. He said he would not
do so.
Cakes evidently had a subsequent
change of heart, as he appeared be-
fore the town clerk last night and
stated that he was ready to pay the
amount of the license for his dog.
The office was closed, however, and
Cakes returned to the office again
this morning. paid the license and
then proceedings against him were
dropped by Recorder Kelly.

The United States army engineers
In Philadelphia have asked for a
large allotment from the appropri-
alton of s20,OOO,OOO. carried by the
river and harbor bill Just passed by
Congress, according TO a statement
given out from their Offices in the

remove about 4,500,O0O cubic yards Of
material from the S5-foot channel and
to cover the cost Of other incidental

The Engineer Department seemed
hopeful that funds sufficient to keep

maintenance work last August, it is
claimed, the collected silt has been
shoaling fast, and unless it is dredged
