mercial Bulletin in wool review says:
with more than a full weeks ex-
perience under the new tariff. it is evf-

manufacturer are proceeding with more
confidence, much as they dislike the

There has been a fairly considerable
trade for almost every grade and kind
of wool, partly for manufacturers ac-
counts and partly Of speculative
nature on the part of the dealers. Prices
are very firm and the tendency OF the
dealers is to ask more money especially
for the medium grades"

South Bend, Ind, Sept. 27.-
While Judge Chester L. Ducomb of
the South Bend city court is pom
dering his decision as to the pater-
nifty Of Billy the 1O-months-old
son OF Mrs. John P. Herman, public
interest has centered in the psy-
chology Of this strangest OF all the
strange cases ever heard In the In
diana courts.
What motive impelled Professor
John Herman Of Notre Dame uni
versity to parade his wife before
the public as the mother of an
illegitimate child, while still loving
her and claiming her as his own?
Why has he attempted to fasten the
paternity of BILLY" on a local
clothing salesman, Harry Poulon,
while he still shelters the child
and says he will always care for
it as one of his own? Why has he
demanded q small sum of money
from Poulin to pay the expenses of
the maternity of the disputed boy ,?
Why has he held Billy" the inno-
cent victim Of it all, up to the pub
lie as a child born out OF we'd
lock?
Merely Wants sJustice."
Professor Herman answered these
natural questions today.
That justice may be done," he
said. ''The time has come when
man must stand on the same moral
plane with woman"
That, then, is the psychological
influence behind a prosecution
which has puzzled the nation.
There was no hasty action on
the part Of the university profess
sor or his seemingly devoted wife.
Theirs is indeed strange case, and
out Of It has Just come from the
lips OF "the woman" some sound
reasoning as to the cause of "trou-
bles in the home"
Professor and Mrs. Herman act
ed against the advice Of all their
friends, against the advice of their
priest. and against the advice OF
the officers OF the law. For eight
months the Tiernans studied the
problem and sought the advice
which in tho end they tossed to the
winds. deciding as they say to for
get the convention, to forget them
selves, in order that the larger

The FIVE children OF the late Park
Benjamin. lawyer and historian, be-
gan yesterday their legal fight to up
set his will, which cut them off with
81 apiece and left most of the fortune
to an adopted daughter, Anna Bolchi
Benjamin.
Their petition. objecting to the pro-
bate of the will, was filed in the Sur
rogates' Court yesterday. 1t is signed
by Park Benjamin, Jr., Romeyne Park
benjamin, Gladys 3. Goddard, Mar
jorie B. Genny and Dorothy B. Ca
russo, who is Enrico Caruso's widow.
They object on three grounds.
First, they say that on May IL, 1920,
when the paper was executed, their
father was not OF sound mind or
memory nor mentally capable Of max
ing a will" Second, they say that
fraud and undue influence were prac-
ticed on Mr.. Benjamin by Anna Bolchi
cor by some other person or persons
acting in concert or privity with her"
Third, they deny that Anna Bolchi is
an heir or next OF kin or duly adopted
daughter of Mr.. Benjamin.
It is true that Judge German, in
wilkes Barre, Pa. on December 10. 1919.
granted a decree making Miss Bolchi the
daughter and legal heir of the New York
lawyer, but in the petition filed yester-
day the contestants say that the decree
was procured "by fraud and upon false
suggestion" and that the court was with
out jurisdiction. They demand jury
trial. Their objections were filed by
their attorneys, Wise & Seligsberg OF 10
William street.
