After several months of legal sparring
the point has now been reached for taking

Frederick of Boston. in the petition of
the Brattleboro society ef seamstresses
and the town of Brattleb0ro for the re-
moyal of Richards NJ. Bradley of Boston
as one of the trustees of the Thomas
Thompson estate.
hearing was held in the supreme
judicial court in the courthouse in Bos-
ton yesterday. before Judge Pierce. on
the demurrer of the trustees, in which
they asked to have the petition dismissed
on the ground that it was multifarious
in that it asked to have the trustee re-
moved and at the same time asked foi
icertain definite other things, including in
Istructions to the trustees las to the main
tenance of the Brattlebor4 Memorial hos

denee then was taken up and the court
ruled that the question of instructions to
the trustees should not be considered bv
the master, but that his inquiry should
relate only to the question of the removal
OF the trutsee, the scope of the evidence
to embrace any testimony that might be
introduced on that point
The position of the court was that if
the trustee should be removed he would
not need instructions, and if he should
not be removed the question of instruc-
tions could be considered when the proper
time came.
Assistant Attorney General Leland
Powers was present and said that when
the time came for giving instructions he
wished to be heard.
No date has been set for taking testi-
mony before the master, but some def
mite step in this regard will be taken
within a few days.
Attorneys present for the benefciaries
were Frank \. Nay of Boston and Frank
+. Barber of Brattleboro, and for the
trustees Stoughton Bell of Boston and
Anthony +. Schwenk of Brattleboro.

GREAT VARIETY
OF APRIL WEATHER
Ferris r. Vaughan, Local Observer, In
stalls Thermograph at His Home
on High Street.

Snow to the depth of an inch and
threequarters covered the ground this
morning, following a cold but clear day
yesterday. OF the first seven days of this
month three have been bright and clear,
one cold and rainy, two partly cloudy
with snow and one partly cloudy with a
thunder shower. The forecast, however,
promises fair weather for tomorrow
To those who enjoy following weather
records it will be interesting to know
that Ferris r. Vaughan local observer,
who has had standard thermometer at
his home on High street the past IL
years, put in operation yesterday a ther-
mograph, or recording thermometer. The
new instrument will make it possible for
Mr.. Vaughan to tell what the tempera-
ture was at any hour. Heretofore he has
been able to tell the temperatures
reached, but not the hour at which they
were reached.
The instrument IS so arranged as to
create upon a chart a continuous seven
day record of temperature. The chart,
which is placed over vertical cylindrical
form, is divided into days and two-hour
subdivisions of each day. Horizontal di-
viding lines show the degrees of tempera-
ture. An arm carrying a record pen is
connected directly with a coil, which
changes as the temperature rises or falls.
This causes the arm, with the pen at
tached, to move vertically over the chart
and changes of less than half degree
Fahrenheit, are easily discernible A
clock, under the cylinder which holds the
chart, is attached to the cylinder, causing
it to move as the time passes.
