 ASKS REINSTATEMENT

Judge James H. Webb of the Su- perior Court yesterday heard the pc tition of Charles N. WeXler of Stam- ford, suspended attorney, for rein statement. His decision was reserved It is alleged that in 1918 Wexler was influenced to falsify a. will to be used in an attempt to show that Henry w. aueathed about $2O0,OO0 to his wife had previously made his sister Edith Ranger, a beneficiary. Wexler was influenced in this act, it is alleged by Carl w Meyer, a New York at torney, and by one Richard Cunning ham to whom he was partly indebted for his education.
 Subsequently he went to the aid of the state in the prosecutions for con spiracy which followed. He was brought before Judge William Malt bic who decreed that he should be suspended for at least three years after which time he might be rein stated, providing he had proved his worthiness by that time.
 A petition signed by many of Stan1- ford's leading attorneys was presented to Judge Webb asking that he be re- inStated. Wex1er was represented by Attorney Charles Fessenden who questioned the applicant concerning his activities since his suspension. If the case had been originally brought before him, Judge Webb declared, he would have permenantly disbarred the attOrney

E. G. Buckland vice-president OF the

The road is holding frequent confer

on which the debentures held in France
might be extended. Apparently the
Government loan proposal would be bet

reduction of principal to be obts ined by
making payment in sterling at present
