OF services here last Sunday
evening. The church was crowded
at the first service and there
has been large attendance al
every evening service this week.
though at the moruing services
many of the people can not get
out, and the attendance is not 50
large.
Mundell is Il wonder for a kid
of his age and is giving the oldest
and wisest people plenty of food
for thought. He breaches the
word exactly as he believes II

criticism but the large majority
of people who have heard him
are glad of the opportunity to
go again His remarks are intend
ed to be general, though there ar"
some who howl. There is sure ID
be a lot of good as q result ot
the campaign and many more OF
the citizens should avail them

BRITISH COURT
RULES IN FAVOR GIN
CINNATI HE|RESS

The following in relation to the
court decision in the will of the late
t. A. Snider from the Cincinnati En-
quirer of December % will be of in
terest to many Daytonians, all the
persons concerned being well-known
in this city, where Mr.. Snider was for
several years a winter resident:
Word came here yesterday from
Toronto, Ontario, announcing the fact
that the privy council of Great Brit
ain, sitting in London, England, has
decided a matter of great Importance
to the estate of Thomas A. Snider, late
wealthy preserve manufacturer of this
city. The information announces that
the highest British court has reversed
the two lower courts of the Dominion
of Canada and decided in favor of
the Snider estate.

married Mrs. Crissie Jones, a widow
with one daughter, Ethel E. Staunton
child by former marriage.
Before starting upon their wedding
trip, by prenuptial arrangement Sni
der settled $4,000 on his new bride
and his will made her the residuary
legatee of his estate.
THE couple started on a motor triI
for their honeymoon, and June II
1912, about a week after their we'd
ding, they were crossing a railroad
track near Erie, Pa, when an expires:

agreed to take this over and to make
provision for them in his will, he
agreeing to leave the daughter her
half, or $4,000 cash. This provision
was made in the will, but after the
death of Thomas A Snider, the niece,
now the wife of DR.. Carleton, New
York, claimed that the $4,000 bequest
was a separate gift and that under the
agreement she was entitled to one
half of the Toronto property also
Former Probate Judge Charles f.
Malsbary and the Central Trust and
Safe Deposit company, this city, had
been named as the executors of Thorn
as A. Snider's estate and they contest
ed the niece's claim. They fought it
through the two lower Canadian
courts, but lost in both. Then Judge
Malsbary decided to take the case
to the highest British court and ap-
pealed it to the privy council.
THE word now received from Can
ada is that the privy council has re-
versed the two lower tribunals and
has held that Mrs. Mabel Snider Garlic
ton is not entitled to half the proper
ty and the bequest also, but the be-
quest was in lieu of the property.
The privy council therefore gives her
three weeks in which to elect wheth-
er she will take the cash or the in
terest in the property.
Edward Snider. the other child,
died years ago and his share was
never disputed. Under Thomas A,
Snider's will about a dozen relatives
were left requests of $4,000 each, and
$4,000 was given to a Methodist
church for its gospel wagon. The
balance, after deducting the $4,000
under the pre-nuptial agreement, goes
to the fourth Mrs. Snider's daughter
Miss Ethel E. Staunton. The residue
will amount to about $4,000 and this
with the $4,000 pre-nuptial settle
ment, makes about 100000 which she
receives from the estate. Miss Staun
ton now lives in this city. She wa:
