A couple of years ago a resident of Westerly died. leaving a will in which he bequeathed $1,006 to an only son, whose whereabouts then and ever since are unknown. If that son was alive at the time of the death of the testator, and has since deceased, the bequest goes to his only heir at law, his mother who was divorced. If the son was dead at the time of the death of his father the bequest, under the will, goes to the nephews. The divorced widow, without proof to substantiate, claims the '$10e 0 should be given to her, as the son was perhaps alive when the father died, and was probably dead now, as he could not be located. The administrator of the estate is under bond to see to 1t that all debts and legacies are paid, and because the son has not been heard from fer two or three years it is not accepted as proof of death. Nor is the mothers unsupported statement that he was alive at the time Of his fathers death accepted as absolute fact. The sum of money at stake is drawing interest, and the interested nephews of testator are satisfied and are aiding the admin istrator in the endeavor to locate the missing young man.
 Provided the son of the testator is not located, and no proof of death fur nished, when the administrator is ready to make final report, the money will nrobably be placed to the credit of

By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Little is
known here of the policy of Lieut.
enant General Count Terauchi. who
has been appointed japanese premier,
in the place of Count Okuma, re-
signed.
He has always been a military man
ano his apneintmerk is considered a
victory for the military party. How
ever, he is regarded as follower of
the policies of former Premier Yam
agata, under whose influence the
"gentlemen's agreement" and other
friendly arrangements were made
with the United States.
Some time ago there was consid-
cradle agitation in Japan in favor of
Terauchi's elevation to the premier
ship, especially by those who felt that
Ol1uma's policy was too favorable to
the western nations and too fe1fenf
in China.
Terauchi's greatest achievement
was the annexation of Korea.

NAVAL AIRMEN FROM
NORTH CAROLINA MAKE
REMARKABLE RECORDS

The remarkable record made by
naval airmen from the mother ship
North Carolina on the southern drill
grounds is attracting wide attention
as shown by its publication in many
magazines. The record is considered
the more important for the reason
that it was made under very unfavor-
able weather conditions.
Two airmen with gunners assembled
from the North Carolina, carrying II
bombs, small aeroplane rapid firers
and small arms. Nine of the IL bombs
were successfully dropped on targets,
doing great damage. Paint marks on
a canvas target, representing men,
were hit by rapid fire and sharp
Ashooters.
