ThoS. G. Russell'S Wife Don't
 Want Him to Handle Finances APPEARS WITH HER LAWYER
Young Mans Mother Wants to Be re- Heved of Responsibilities Is Postponed-Dies at Hospital A. N. Clark Critically Iu-Bricfs.

sell to take charge of his business affairs, although the removal of the young mans mother as conservator will probably be satisfactory to all concSrned, was intimated in the pro-
 bate court this morning by Judge William F. Mangan of New Britain, appeared as counsel for Russelrs wife, requesting that the hearing re- garding the acceptance of the con- servator's accounting and her peti- tlon to be relieved of responsibility be postponed until he had a chance to more fully investigate the condi- tions
 The young mans mother, accord ing to F. s. Neal, who appeared for her, Is under the care of a physician and he has advised her to resign as conservator. Her physical condition makes it inadvisable that she serve in this capacity any longer and MT. Neal told the court that she believes any way that her son is now capable of attending to his own business affairs.
 RusselPs wife, from whom he is es- trapged, was in court with her law yer. The young man was also present. After the hearing opened, MT. Neal explained Mrs. Russells object in presenting the petition. He also filed
 
 she had received $4633 from the estate of the young mans father since her appointment and but $1,547 re- mained. MT. Neal told the court that Russell was entitled to tWo-ninths of his fathers estate, which is still in- tact except for the money received from the sale of the cafe and property on which it is located That has been divided among the heirs. Land and buildings comprise 8 large part of the estate. There are also some stocks and bonds which, he explained, are enhancing in value steadily and for that reason the matter of converting them into cash has been delayed.
 Judge Mangan said he was appear ing in the interests of Russelps wife He had not been retained until last night and as he did not have chance to investigate the case he would like a pCstponement of the hearing. While he had no objections to the removal of Russelrs mother as conservator he would protest against allowing him to take charge of his own affairs. MT. Neal wanted to know if he would be satisfied to have the conservator's account ac- cepted and have the court relieve her of her duties. Although he said he would not question the correctness of the report he would like to examine it thoroughly before it became a record and he thought the matter of it's acceptance should be held up un- til the time of the adjourned hearing.
 MT. Neal said it was entirely a mat ter of bookkeeping. Judge Mangan disagreed, calling attention to the fact that there were items to show that Russell had received $4O0 in cash from the conserVator during a short period. He believed he should be al- lowed to look over the report with some care before anything was done regarding it's acceptance. He admit ted that in all probability he would have no objection to the court ac- cepting it at the next hearing
 If Mrs. Russell was to be removed he thought the Plainville Trust com pany or some other disinterested par ty should be named to serve tenn porarily as conservator, pending final disposition of the case.
 It was finally decided to put off l the entire matter until Monday, Jan uary 17th at o'clock in the after noon.
 MT. Neal explained that there was 1 no disposition either on the part of l Russell or his mother to hurry mat l ters. They were satisfied to have the l case rest until all concerned were pre- l pared to go on with it. Judge Man l gan was also willing to have every l thing done in agreeable fashion and l Judge George R. Byington, who pre- sided adjourned the hearing in ac- l cordance with their wishes 1
 Concert Greatly Enjoyed.
 While the attendance was rather l disappointing, the members of the l Woman's club had cause for consid- l erable satisfaction over the concert l given under their auspices last even- 1 ing in the Town hall The Marigold quartet, appearing under the direction of the Red Path Bureau, of Boston, gave the entertainment And an en- joyable entertainment it was, too.
 The audience was greatly pleased with the various numbers and was most generous with it's applause. The young ladies are talented musicians and their vocal and instrumental num- bers gave complete satisfaction. They had diversified program and every feature was rendered in admirable fashion The solos, duets, quartete and musical sketches all satisfied and there were many manifestations of the appreciation of the audience
 There had been a good sale of course tickets but perhaps, owing to the weather and counter attractions the attendance last night did not come up to expectations. The next entertainment will be given on Jan- uary goth when H. R. Manlove, the
 man of many faces, will appear.
 The audience heard last nights concert under difficulties, the atmos- phere in the hall being of a duality that makes mittens highly desirable There was but little steam in the ra-
