WASHINGTON, Sept. 2-"The en- actment of this piece of legislation today" said A. B. Garretson, head of the conductors brotherhood tonight. giving as it does an eigh-hour day for every man employed in the oper- ating department of the railroads of this country from the Canadian bor- der to the gulf and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, is a wonderful thing. lt not only affects the brotherhoods and the best paid men who come un- der their jurisdiction but it reaches far enough down the line to give the negro railroad worker of the south his chance with his white ally.
 T dc not care whether the bill is signed on Sunday or some other day Nor dCes the constitutionality of such an act bother me. If the president sees fit to sign it on that day, I'll be willing to accept his judgment that the act IS legal"
 W. C. Lee head of the trainmen said:
 of course I am pleashed that wc have averted strike. We did not want strike any more than any one elsa in this country, but we had reached a point where if a strike be- oame necessary to win our demands we were willing to go into one.

CHICAGO. Sept. 2.-F'rom Chicago tonight when telegrams to every divi- sion point on western railroads inform ing both railway officials and train men that the strike was off, general attitude of relief was expressed by minor railway officials. President E. F. Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka &. Santa Fe railway said however that be was sorry the question had not come to a critical test.
 q am sorry it had been called off, " MT Ripley said The Adamson bill does not become effective until Janu ary 1. Between now and then, we can decide what to do.'
 Mr Ripley was asked if his railroad planned an immediate test of the law in the courts.
 "I can't say just when we will dc anything" he replied, but the law surely will be tested"
 that the senate had passed the bill Hale Holden, president of the Chicago Burlington X Quincy declared the rail ways would not discommode the pub lie by any precipitate action. Tt is my belief" he said, that we will wait for the government investiga- tion provided by the bill before taking any action against it.
 The cost to the railroads of the threatened strike has already run very high. We have been under eXtraordin- ary expense The loss to the public car not be estimated at this time, but ship pers and travellers have suffered in convenience and monetary losses. ! understand that the western parks have f been practically deserted as a result O. , ha tril hot 1 sort hotels have clos,d down."

The town of Thompson will benefit under the will of the late Jacob Fran cis Tourteliotte of Minneapolis 10 the amount Of over half million dollars. For time the income from two trust funds will be paid the town and at the expiration of the time limited in the trust the principal will be turned over. The money is an endowment fund for the Tourtellotte Memorial High School situated between the villages of Gros- venordale and North Grosvenordale in the town of Thompson. This beauti ful high school building was erected by MT. and Mrs. Tourtellotte at a cost of Sl00,000 and presented to the town as memorial to their two daughters, Harriet Lucina Mary Tourtellotte and Frances Harriet Tourtelette. The corner stone of the building was erect ed in 1907 and the building was dedi- cated in 1909. Both MT. and Mrs. Tourtellotte were present at the dedi- cation exercises.
 MT. Tourlellotte died Sept. II, 1912, in Minneapolis. By the terms of his will all iof the residue of the estate after a life interest in Mrs. TouIteilolte and q few bequests was devised and bequeaihed to the town of Thompson. The question was raised as to whether Connecticut town could take under will, property in Minnesota. The mat ter has been in process Of litigation for three or four years and now the pro- bate court in Mir neapolis has decided that the town can take under the will. MT. Tourtellotte was former resident of the village of North GrosVenordale in the town of Thompson but many years ago went to Minneapolis and there accumulated fortune.
 When MT. Tourtelotte died he left will and codicil. The estate ss per in- yentory amounted to S516, ,9l009 but this has increased materially due to the advance in certain real estate. The codicil varies the will but little except, instead of giving to Mrs. Tourtellette life interest, so long as she remains single, trust is created under which she becomes the recipient of the in come.
