Judge Harold E. Cook Of the Ken
nebec probate court Wednesday

ing of the will of the late William B.
Waterman of Augusta. The oppon-
ent of the will was Miss Barbara
Remick Cox, aged eight years, and

exceptions would be filed and the
case would go to the law court.
William B. Waterman died last

mated at 100000 and bequeathing
$4,000 in trust to the Abnaki club
Of Augusta of which he was q MEM
| Der. Under the terms Of the will the
club is to have the interest of this
trust fund as long as it's quarters re-
| main in the present location. None
| of his relatives were remembered In

The first witness called by Attor-
| ney Farris was Hiram l.. Pishon,

| Company and executor of the will Of
| Mr.. Waterman. Mr.. Pishon testified
that he had business dealings with
Mr.. Waterman directly and indirect
| ly through the bank. He identified
| the will of Mr.. Waterman, which he
found in his safety deposit box after
his death.
| On cross examination by Attorney
Merrill for the opponents of the will
the witness testified that If Mr.
! Waterman had peculiarities they
were not Of an extraordinary nature
Miss Eleanor NJ. Redman of Au-
| gusta, witness to the will, related
how Mr.. Waterman came into the
office Of her employer, Mr.. Farris
and asked that new will be made
The witness took the dictation fol-

MERRY RACE FOR KENNEbEC
REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS TO :
SENATE With FIVE IN FIELD

whose appearance on the field OF,
fers real threat to any ana all
opponents.
And now to make things exceed
ingly interesting it is learned that
Merle ]. Hartman of Readfield.
member of the House, of Represen-
tatives of the last Legislature. aspires
to a seat in the upper branch at
the other wing of the State Capitol.
Mr.. Hartman is a State Grange lee
turer and as such has large fol-
lowing and can expect to poll good
ly proportion of the farmer vote. AS
a representative in the SIND Legis-
lature the Readfield man attracted
considerable attention by his intro
duction of the anti-daylight saving
bill, which went to the people last
September and was ratified.
There are dopesters, who, viewing
the situation as it stands at present
would say that Senators Maher and
Foster will be renominatedAasa mat
ter of course, while for the third
seat friends of Charles Hill seem
to think that he has the inside
track, partly as the result of an eX-
pected split in the farmer vote be-
tween the two prominent Changers,
Thompson and Hartman.
Now to make the thing even more
interesting and to give the political
prophets something to ponder pro-
digiously, comes the suggestion that
the genial Charles S. Towle of Win
throp may also step into the con-
flict and add his voice to the ambi-
tious sextet demanding a hearing
by the puzzled G. o. P. voters. Mr.,
Towle also has his experience as a
member of the House of Representa-
tives to back his claim for atten-
ton. He represented the class group
composed of Winthrop, Monmouth
and Litchfield in the last Legisla-
ture.
According to long established
precedent Monmouth Is entitled tc
the manning of the next representa-
tive on the rotation system, but as
yet have not advanced a candidate
and there are those who believe thai
Representative Towle will again be
asked to handle the interests of the
three towns in the House. In sucf
an event, the Winthrop gentleman
will undoubtedly be favorably in
| clined, but should Monmouth decide
! to enter one of her sons, then 1t Il
| the general belief that Towle vii
seek the senatorial nomination.
! In an effort to get some definite
: expression of his attitude in tn
| matter the Journal interviewed Mr.
! Towle, Wednesday, but except TO
| citing the situation in the elias
group of towns as regards their rep
| resentation in the house, Mr.. FOWL
I declined to state at this time his in
! tentions.
There is also some talk curren
to the effect that yet another resi-
dent of Belgrade may join the merr
| throng. Don c. Stevens is the gen
tleman suggested, but there has bee
no statement forthcoming from tina
individual to date.
AS yet there has been no voluntee
for the honor from the southern par
of the county, but there is yet tim
for another worthy aspirant or eve
squad of candidates to declar
himself or themselves-or perhap
herself-and then sometime befor
election day next June the senatoria
legions may be paraded and lined u
in platoon formation to be reviewe
7 by the harassed voters before the
register their choice at the polls.

Symphony Orchestra
Will Play Second
HAYDN Symphony

At the beginning of this season e. r.
Hill. director of the Augusta Sym
phony Orchestra, decided to put before
the orchestra real symphonies in their
full and 1t was planned to make the
season a Haydn season, to render some
one of this composers compositions at
each public rehearsal. The first was
Haydn's Surprise Symphony" which
was we'll executed and much enjoyed
by the public.
The program to be given next Sum-
day evening includes another of
Haydns numbers, Familiarity known as
THE Symphony Millitaire." somewhat
more difficult than the Surprise" but
full of wonderful harmony.
Augusta is to be congratulat ted in
having the opportunity to hear these
real masterpieces by such a composer,
who, born April list, 1882, wrote 11S
complete symphonies and great many
other compositions along such lines as
sonatas, oratorios, masses, songs and
canons. and his form has been retained
as the model which other composers
have patterned. Haydn's name is down
in musical history as one of the great
est of composers and City Hall should
be well filled Sunday evening.

With five candidates already in the
field and a good possibility that TWO
others may enter the lists it looks
like merry little race for the nom
nations for the state senatorship
from this county on the Republican
ticket at the primary election the
coming June.
Kennebec county sends three sem
ators to the Legislature and of the
trio who represented the county in
the upper house of the SIND Legis-
lature, two again seek the nomina-
ton and it is generally believed will
pull through alright, so the fight will
devolve around the section of the
third member of the party ticket.
Senators Benedict F. Maher Of
Augusta and Edwin M. Foster of
Waterville are candidates to succeed
themselves and with the prestige
of their previous election to back
their splendid records and the sup
port of the city vote they will prob
ably not experience any very threat
ening opposition from the new
entrants into the contest. Senator
Herbert E. Wordsworth of Winthrop
will not again permit his name to &C
on the ticket, it is generally under
stood, so it is for this third seat
that three other announced candt-
, dates and yet another pair who are
being prominently mentioned, may
battle.
William j. Thompson Of South
China, former mester of the Maine
! State Grange, has declared his can
didacy for the Republican nomina-
! ton, and of course has a consider
able strength in all parts of the
coutny, particularly amongst the ru
raj communities.
