WANT JURY OF WOMEN
 TO HEAR LYMAN CASE
Easthampton Men Have Discussed It Too Much,
 Is Opinion

Easthampton. Conn, Jan. 23.--As counsel interested in the case were busy today in the Middlesex su- perior court short docket session at Middletown hearing in the pro- ceedings to oust Herbert Lyman from the farm of his late employer, Mrs. Phoebe Simons, deceased, set for today were postponed until next friday morning. Lyman, who was handy man for Mrs. Simons, without pay for 19 years he claims, refused to leave because he says the spirit Of Mrs. Simons has communicated with him and advised him to stay and take care of the farm.
 The hearing today was on action started by the administrator of the estate, Postmaster Hill, to eject Lyman from the place. It had been once postponed because there had been failure to post a bond. To- day Justice of the Peace Lunt pre- sided and with him was Mrs, Cor nelius Strong also justice of the peace.
 Postmaster Hill asked for post ponement of the hearing saying that Judge Flood who is Lyman's coun- sel and Assistant States Attorney Bertram c. Spencer, counsel for the administrator, were each unable to be present because of other court duties. He also read letter from Judge Flood who suggested that the case be heard by jury of women, six in number.
 The suggestion that a jury of women be called to hear the case grew out of statements made by parties interested in the proceedings to the effect that the men in town had been discussing the Lyman case so much the past two weeks that it will be impossible to find a male jury which was impartial It was expected today in view of Judge Floods letter that Deputy Sheriff Ray Young may be instructed to call in a jury of women to hear the evidence.

 Mir. Stone appeared for the execn- tors some years ago in the supreme court in suit brought against James A. Ownbey, mining man of Cobra do, after action had been brought in the Colorado courts and before there had been final action there.
 Senator Heflin said today the rec ord showed that not only had Mfr. Ownbey been denied any hearing in the Delaware courts where he ap- peared in answer to a writ, but that at one time when he sought to pros test against statement of facts in the action he was removed from inc court by a bailiff. After the execn- tors had thrown Ownbey's company into thehands of a receiver in Colo rado. disclosed the Alabama senator, they had brought further acrion to obtain judgment under an ailcisNt Delaware. statute which had been iiss- voked only a few times in historys
 Confident of Confirmation.
 Administration leaders neverthe- less are confident the nenfination will be confirmed at an early date, probably in the first executive ses- sion to be held next week.
 Senator Overman plans to deliver an address reviewing the record Of the Morgan case and Senator Hef- lin probably will do likewise. Sena-B tor Walsh, democrat, Montana, who asked for further delay in the com mittee, said today he would inter pose no further objections, as he saw no ground on which teh noni- nation should be opposed.

INVENTOR WINS SUIT
 AFTER TWENTY YEARS
Hubert Hopkins Adjudged to Have Invented
 Adding Machines

St. Louis, Jan. 23.--After 20 years litigation Federal Judge Paris today decided that Hubert Hopkins, St.. Louis inventor. and not Isaac De- ment. an eastern inventor devised in 1904 an intricate totailing device for adding machines. The decision in effect upheld the claims of the Burroughs Adding Machine Co. against those of the National Cash Register Go.
 Judge Paris decision upheld the ruling of a District of Columbia court in 1914. It is expected that the case eventually will be heard by the United States supreme court.
 Judge Paris gave two reasons for his decision. First, that Dement,, while claiming that he conceived the Idea in October. 1903. failed to pros duce his first model in court, to prove it was operative. It was ex- plained by counsel for Demet that the model had been taken apart to estimate costs. but no witnesses were offered to testify as to show this. The Burroughs company on the other hand exhibited an alleged original model which operates with fair degree Of accuracy.
 The second reason for the ruling, the court explained. was Dement'S delay in refising and prosecuting his suit after the Washington decision in 1914, which delay was held '.inimical te the rights of the defendant"
 In his decision, Judge Paris de- scribed the device as the most in- tricate piece of machinery imagin- able, more than human, and ineor- rect only In the event of human error,"
 Both inventors in 1904 filed for letters of patent, describing a mech aniem of more than 5000 parts. Dement'S claim became the property of the National Cash Regtzer cofn- pany and Hopkins claim the prop erty of the Moon-Hophfns Adding Machine company of St. Louis. which later was absorbed by the Burroughs company.

CATHOLICS, PROTESTANTS
 WORSHIP IN SAME CHURCH
Keystone, Neb. Gives Remarkable Instance of Real Religious
 Tolerance.

Keystone, Jan. 2S.-Co-operation and religious toleration are receiving a thorough test in a little church here where both Catholics and Pro- testants worship. In one end of the edifice is the Catholic altar. oppo- site is the pulpit for Protestant ser- vices. Seats are arranged like those of a railroad coach. so that the backs face either end of the building. Re- versal of the benches thus changes the church from one denomination to the other as desired. The church seats about 75 persons.

ECLIPSE ECLIPSES
 ALL OTHER EVENTS Even Justice, With Eyes Ban
 daSed, Decides to Watch It TWO POINTS OF VANTAGE
Stores and Banks VIII Close and Cars Will Stop Running While Sun, Moon and Earth Play Hide and Seek in Air.

and Scek III AIT.
 Feeling that even the wheels of justice should suspend operation during the eclipse of the sun to- morrow morning, Judge Benjamin w. filling announced this morning that Saturdays session of police court will not be held until 10 o'clock instead of the usual hour of S:30. The weekly session of ju- venile court was held this morning after the police court session.
 Judge filling said that he felt that, with all interest centered on the eclipse which will occur shortly after o'clock. it would be impos- sible to hold enough interest within the court room to conduct a session of the court until after the phenome- non had occurred.
 Offers Hill as Observation Point
 E. Allen Moore. proprietor of Moprland farm, announced today that he will welcome the public to view the eclipse from high hill which is located on his estate. The eminence offers a view of more than a mile westerly and about three miles in the opposite direction, so that the shadow of the moon can be seen approaching and then disap- bearing.
 Moorland farm is located about a milo from the end of Arch street on the old back road to Meriden. Mir. Moore will have the roadway to the top of the hill cleared and will also provide a cleared parking space for the accommodation of automobiles.
 Clear Top of Walnut Hill
 The New Britain park department will cooperate with the public by providing a vantage point from which to watch the eclipse. Sn- perintendent Ralph B. Wainwright has given orders to have the road way leading to the wading pool at the tip of Walnut Hill park cleared for the convenience of those who wish to go to the spot. He will  also have a space cleared on the ice covered surface of the wading pool for use as an observation platform.
 All trolley cars will stop during the eclipse in order to avoid acci- dents.
 Merchants affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce will colse their places of business until 10:30 o'clock. Banks will not open until 10 o'clock and will close at 1. o'clock.
 Post .Office Schedule
 While mails at the post office will be handled as usual, the windows at the post office will be closed be- tween and 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, according to a statement made this morning by Postmaster H. E. Erwin. No other definite plans have been made but everyone at the office will be given chance to see the eclipse. Carriers, Mir. Erwin said, would be left to their own discretion.
