ceased Brother Did Not Settle
SEEKS TO REOPEN ESTATE
Purported viii of Late William r.
Morgan Features in the
Proceedings

Merritt b. Morgan, through his at
torney William B. Sheldon, has begun
proceedings to acquire a portion of
the estate OF his brother. the late Will
liam r. Morgan The action is based
on the ground that the estate of VIII,
liam r. Morgan is indebted to the es-
tate of Mason G. Morgan, father of
William r., and Merritt B. Morgan be
cause of a certain mortgage and Ger
tain mortgage notes amounting to Sl2
600 executed July 26, 1879, by Will
liam R. Morgan in favor of his father
and which 1t is claimed were not
paid,
In order to carry out the claim of
his client. Attorney Sheldon has Sc
cured the appointment of Henry d.
Fillmore as executor OF the estate of
Mason c. Morgan and has secured
from the probate court an order re-
opening the commission on the estate
of the late William r. Morgan that
the claim of the fathers estate may
be presented against that of the son.
This claim consists of the original
mortgage of $4,000 which, with inter
est is now claimed to amount to $27,-
120, and two claims OF $1,000 each
with interest of $4,000, making total
OF s33,1O0
In 1908 Merritt B. Morgan brought
suit against his brother, William B.
Morgan to obtain a portion of the
property held by the latter. This suit
was brought on the ground that the
property in question had passed from
the possession of William II. Morgan
to that of his sister, Elmina Morgan,
at that time deceased, by virtue of a
deed executed by William Il. Morgan
and which transferred all of his prop
erty to his sister. The decision of
the court in this case was that the
deed in question did not constitute
transfer
This suit was heard before the
chancery court and in searching the
records of the case Attorney Sheldon
has found that will of William r.
Morgan, dated July Z, 1886, was filed
among the papers. Attorney Sheldon
has sought to have this will trans
ferred from the custody of the clerk
of Bennington county court to that
of the judge of probate and admitted
as the will of William X. Morgan.
Certain sections of this will, it is
claimed, recognize the obligation of
William r Morgan to his father,
Mason c. Morgan.
County Clerk j. ]. Stakeholder. has
refused to permit the will, which is a
portion of the files of the chancery
court, TO leave his possession and his
position in this respect was upheld
by Chancellor Zed S. Stanton who, at
hearing held before him in Rutland
Thursday, decided that he had no au.
thority TO make an order to transfer
the will.
a certified copy of the document
has been secured by Attorney Shell
don and has been presented to the
probate court for probate. a hearing
on this petition has been set for Oc-

New York, Oct, 2.-The first game
between Philadelphia, winner of the
pennant in the National baseball
league, and the Boston Red Sox, win
ners in the American league, will be
played at Philadelphia on Friday,
October 8.
The national commission which
met here at the Waldorf Astoria to-
day decided that the first game
should be played on Friday. This de-
cision conceded with the desires of
the Red SoX management which is
anxious to start the worlds series i'm
mediately after the close of the sche-
dulles in the two leagues On the toss
of the coin to decide the place of the
opening game Philadelphia won.
The result will be disappointing TO
the Phillies in one respect They
were anxious to start the series on
Saturday in order that Alexander,
who is admitted to be the best pitch
er on both teams, could be used in
three games The disappointment
over the failure of this plan is parti-
ally offset. at least, by the Phillies'
success in securing the first game for
their home city,

BULGARS TO FIGHT

ALLIES TO AID SERBIA AND GREECE

London, Oct. 1.-THE hope express
ed yesterday that war in the Balkans
might be averted virtually has been
abandoned, according to the belief eX
pressed in official quarters.
The statement made by Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary,
in the House of Commons this after
noon confirming rumors that Austro.
German officers had arrived in Bull
garia just as they did before Turkey
threw in her lot with the Germanic
allies is taken by officials to mean
that Bulgaria too has definitely decid-
ed to join them. Such move by
Bulgaria would result in the entente
allies being called upon to keep their
promise to support with all the
means in their power those Balkan
states which remain friendly to them
and who are menaced by the threaten
ed Bulgarian aggression
Athens never had much confidence
in the Bulgarian assurances that Bull
garia's mobilization was quite in
nocent, it was asserted here today,
and the other capitals have now been
forced to the same conclusion. There
is nothing to indicate the attitude of
Rumania but it has always been tax
en- for granted that her friendship for
italy and France assured her cOntinu
ed support of the cause of the entente
allies.
The question arises as TO what as
sistance the entente allies could give
Greece and Serbia. 1t is suggested
that an agreement be made with
Greece that for every soldier sent by
her to help Serbia the allies would
land soldier and equipment at Sa
loniki to protect Greek territory to
the south and when the time came to
march against Bulgaria. 1t is prob
able that this would be only one Of
the steps taken against Bulgaria
should her attitude continue proyoca-
tive which officials now consider it to
be despite the fact that a large ma
jority of the people in that country
are believed to be still friendly to the
entente allies particularly Russia and
England.
