Special Correspondence Of Every Evening
Chcstertown, Md, July 20--The will
of the late John McCauley, who recently
died, Mt the home of Mrs. Hessner, in
Ksnnedyville, has finally been found.
Register of Wills Robert II. Hill stated
Saturday afternoon that the will was mail
cd to him from Chestertown by some
unknown person. He stated also that there
is no question as TO the genuincness of the
document, az it bears the signatures OF the
late Tilghman Shafer and the late John K.
Bennett, both residents of Kennedyville
for many years and for m;rnv years person
al friends of the deceased. just who mailed
the will TO the register is a mystery, which
he is endeavoring TO solve. Up until
Saturday afternoon IL was generally be-
lieved that the deceased failed To leave n
will, and the Orphans Court here had
taken initial steps to grant administration
papers 10 the two nephews OF the de
ceased, who reside in Philadelphia and
who recently appeared and claimed 10 be
the nearest relatives To the deceased.
The will distributes an estate estimated
to be worth 100000, consisting OF a fine
farm near kennedyville, tenanted by
William NJ. Hurlock, and between $D,0D
and $50, 900 i'm one of the banks of Ches-
tertown. Mrs. Hessner, with whom the
deceased made his home for some years, Is
left the farm during her life, after which IT
goes TO her children The children of Mrs.
Hessner and the two nephews IN Philadel-
phia are to receive the cash in bank, share
and share alike. The will leaves por-
tion of the cash in bank TO the brother n
the deceased, who resided in Philadelphia
and who died some time before the testa
tor, thus leaving the two nephews, sons of
the Philadelphia brother, his legatecs.
Mr.. McCauley died some weeks ago, and
for a greater part of his life had lived the
life of a recluse, but in his late years he
had made his home with Mrs. Hessner,
who had treated him as brother.

WHAT OTHER MINISTERS THINK.
Some Of the other minister's who arc
cooperating in the interdenominational
services are of the opinion that DIR.
Richey's protest is out of accord with the
goodfellowship and fraternity that has
existed throughout the services this sum
mer. ''The meetings, held purely for
the purpose of bringing together the
churches of the several Protestant de-
nominations, have been entered into by
the members of the churches to which
Rev. Richey addressed his letter in as
cordial a spirit rs any other church MEM
bers," is the statement of Rev. Charles
II. Bonner, pastor of Hanover Presby-
terian Church. 81 do not see where the
services have entered his jurisdiction any
more than they have entered the other
luflStilCblOUs WHICH aIt TtpItVcuIStis
Rev. George G. Williams, of McCabe
Memorial M. +. Church, declared:
perhaps it affected my church work as
much as any other church excepting
Hanover Presbyterian, inasmuch rs it is
held so near to our church. We hold
our regular services 1870 n. m. and
twilight service at Gas in the evening,
but so far / consider that it has done us
no special amount of harm. Our people
do not attend the evening service in ~
great numbers as they would if there were
no outdoor services and yet, in spite of
the fact that there is an outdoor service
in the park, eoodly number of the con-
gregation attend our twit.r service
At the close of each twilight service those
who are present are always invited to
attend the park service"
Rev. Charles J.. Candee OF West
minister Presbyterian Church. did not
care to say anything regarding the mat
ter. The same answer WAS gwen by the
pastor of Greenhill Church.
1t is understood DIR. Richey was in
vited to participate in the outdoor service

but declined. Rev. Bonner declared: !:
The two men To whom the lottcr wns
addressed came in very cordially both
last year and this year Rev. Trapneli
even preached at one Of the services.
do not know the Episcopal church law re-
garding this point, but | believe Rev.
kirkus and Rev. Trapnell know what
movement is very beneficial one. The
people have been responding to the sew
ice wonderfully. No effort has been made
to denominationalize the services. we
want to minimize that"
An effort was made again today TO see
DIR. Richey, but it was stated that he had
gone to New York for the week.

SCORES OPEN SHOP
PLAN Of BUSINESS
Gompers likens Chamber Of
Commerce Attitude to Cave
Man Spirit.

The following statement was given
out today by Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent OF the American Federation Of
Labor:
The executive council of the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor at It's recent
meeting had under consideration csr-
tain propositions just adopted by the
United States Chamber OF Commsrce
through referendum vote. There
propositions were adoptsd BY the
chamber In two reports.
THE nrst report IL entitled 'Prin-
ciplss underlying the employment re-
lation.' IL contains . declaration In
favor of the so-cailed open shop,
which is In reality . closed shop
against union men. In this report are
twelve pianks. Plank two Is as fol-
lows:
"'The right of opens shop operation :
Is an essential part OF the individual
right OF contract possessed BY each Of
the parties.
"This IL q direct challenge to the
trads-union movement coming from
the heart Of Amsrtca's financial power.
The spirit coincides exactly with the
spirit of the jungle man who started
out to kill.
"The effort to make Il appear that
the so-cAllsd open shop involves the
individual right Of contract 10 90 far
outworn a. to be pitiabie. The right
OF an individual TO undermine and
destroy tho standards OF living and
the Industrial safety OF his fellow
workers has been so long since OK
ploded a. to be unworthy of further
discussion. The individual has no
such right.
"In Plank Four. the United states
Chamber OF Commerce evidently has
something in mind which II does not
care to set forth in plain language;
1.-The public welfare. the protection
of the individual. and sound employ
ment relations require that associa-
tions or combinations of employers or
employees. or both, must equally be
subject to tho authority OF the State
and legally responsible to others for
their conduct and that Of their
agents.
"Of course all organizations Of
Americans arc equally subject to the
laws. What the Chamber OF Com
merce doubtless means. but does not
care to say, is that 1t would like to
have trade unions subjected to law In
a manner not applicable to Chambers
OF Commerce and associations Of en-
ployers."
