on the subject of national prepared
ness. The secretary of the navy, he
said, had no patronage at his dis
posa1, as the chiefs of bureaus were
selected from the trained men of
the navy for their efficiency and their
integrity.
81 do not know he said, 'tthe
politics of the capable men who have
been named as heads of bureaus or in

his appointment to a Congressman,
every naval officer puts making the
navy a strong fighting force above
any and every other consideration"
The same, thingA had. been true in
nearly all cases, Mr.. Daniels said. of
the secretaries of the navy who had
been "actuated by the spirit of Amer

Law Doesn't Require
Testator To Leave
Children Anything

Under the Connecticut law a man
must leave at least one-third his es-
tate to his widow but he need not
leave a penny to his children, ac-
cording to a decision just made in
the probate court by Judge Paul l..
Miller. Under the old English law
q man might cut off his children
with a shilling but he must leave
each a shilling at least.
Judge Miller said that this has given
rise to a belief in Connecticut that it
is necessary that a small sum of
money must be left each child in or
der to remove grounds for contest Of
a will on the division of the estate.
Judge Miller said this is a fallacy
that induces many persons to name
children or other heirs at-law as small
beneficiaries.

THE CAT WAS TO BLAME.

Last Monday Mrs. George A. Fow-
Ter of Stratford was severely burned
on one of her arms while extinguish-
ing fire In her residence on the Old
Mill road. She was preparing to come
to this city and had hung her coat
on a rocking chair near the sitting
room stove while she went to pre-
pare breakfast for her husband. In
some manner the chair was over
turned, probably by a cat jumping
upo it, and the coat took fire.
Mr.. Fowler, who was at work
short distance from the house, ran in
and with his wife's aid succeeded in
putting out the fire before it had done
any damage other than destroy the
coat and burning some holes in the
sitting room carpet. Mrs. Fowler was
formerly an operator in the Central
telephone office in this city.

3 Goernor Whitman of New York an
nounced that he had granted to Hans
Schmidt convicted of murder tof
Anna EAumul1er, a reprieve to the
week of Feb. because Schmidt now
says he did not murder the woman,
but that she died as the result of an
operation to which he and others were
parties and that he then cut her body
in pieces and threw it into the HudG
son river. Schmidt's attorneys have
certified to the governor. that they
can prove this contention by the evil

to be executed at Sing Sing n Jan. IA.
