The F1aGler Money In Court.

The expected has happened and the
will Of the late Mrs r.. w. Bingham
II to undergo contest In court. The
intimation, furthermore. Is that a
family litigation rarely esualled in
bitterness is to be precipitated. Pro-
ceedings will be brought in the Louis
ville court. 1t appears that Judge
Bingham could have laid claim under
a husbands rights to half of the enor-
nous estate. but that he had voluntar-
lily agreed to sign paper accepting
as satisfactory anything Mrs. Bing-
harl might see proper to leave him.
Shortly after her marriage to the
Judge she gave him $4,000. Later
she gave him securities now produc-
ing an income Of $4,000 n year. With
stands to benefit to the extent Of $6.-
100000. The balance of her estate.
with minor exceptions amounting to
$60.OO0.000, was divided among her
brothers. sisters and nieces. The y are

conference of Unitarian and other

lowed the leadership Of Former Pres
ident William H. Taft in adopting a
resolution approving President Will
sons action and declaring that 'the
war must be carried to a successful
ISSUE"
Mr.. Tafts resolution, which was
carried by a vote of 236 to 8, was
adopted after spirited controversy.
Mr.. Taft, who is president of the
conference, precipitated the issue af-
ter the Rev. John Hayne Holmes Of
New York City, as chairma.. of tho
conference council, had presented a
report asserting that 'the majority
OF Unitarians accept the conflict as
an ugly piece of business which must
be DONE" and urging full, free AMI
fair statements Of all points Of view
on this momentous event"
Three members of the council, the
Rev. Richard Nv. Boynton of Buffalo.
n. Y; Percy A. Atheron of Boston
and William r. Billings of Brooklyn,
at once repudiated the report and
then Mr.. Taft launched a vigorous
condemnation Of the resolution. H.,
termed it beautiful literary effort
but an 'insidious document"
Amid cheering the convention
adopted a resolution drawn up by Mr.
Taft setting forth that:
1T is the opinion of this Unitarian
conference that the war must be car
ried on to successful issue to stamp
out militarism in this world and that
this Unitarian body approves the
measures Of President Wilson and
