WOMAN INSISTS
 MAN HER UNCLE
Mrs Agnes L. Yeshsinskas TeStifies in Hearing of
 Pautienis' Will

Testimony that the late William Pautienis was her uncle was offered in probate court today by Mrs. Agnes Lyman Yeshinskas as Judge Dennis J. Slavin conducted another hearing on the admission of Pautie- his will. The document names AL derman William Kolbeck as sole legatee of an estate of more than $lO00O, and is being contested by relatives.
 Mrs. Yeshinskas testified that only last summer Pautienis told her that when he died his money would go to relatives and not to "strang- ers." PautieniS lived in many places in Waterbury, she said and he had expressed . desire to make his home with her, if she would move from Oak Hill avenue to a less hilly loca- ton. She was planning to move when he died, she testified.
 Former City Controller Peter Fitzhenry, one of the witnesses to the signing of the will, said that Pautienis had told him he wished to leave everything to Kolbeck, who was "the best friend in the world" The will was read to PautieniS, MT Fitzhenry said, after which he sign ed 1t.
 Attorney Francis P. Guilfoile, rep resenting Kolbeck, questioned Mrs. Yeshinskas at length on her rela- tionship to Pautienis, but she insist ed that she was his niece. Her son, Frank Lyman, attended Pautienis when he was i'll, she testified.
 The hearing was adjourned witt several witnesses still to be heard.

DEFENDANT WINS
 PIE LITIGATION
No Evidence of Glass Was Shown in Local Mans
 Suit Against Hotel

No evidence was presented to show that foreign substance present ir a piece of pie being eaten by Will liam s. Alta of this city at Bridge port hotel was glass, says Judge Edward J. Finn of the court of common pleas today in 8 memor- andum of decision. The judge finds issues for the defendant in the case which was tried before him last week. Alta had asked damages of $1,000.
 Alta claimed that on July 4, 1884 he ordere a piece of pie at the Hotel Stratfleld, Bridgeport, and while eating 1t found a foreign substance in 1t which recembled glass and which damaged his teeth.
 Judge Finn says that testimony in the case showed that two par ticles of the substance were found, one of which was lost on the floor and the other of which was kept by the hotel. The hotel claimed that the substance was rock salt, and the judge states that the plaintiff did not prove otherwise.
 The plaintiff, says the judge, made no attempt to prove negli- gence on the part of the defendant company. The case, he says is sim liar to one tried in Hartford super for court, and his decision follows the lines of that judgment. He stat es that it is impossible for him to overrule the superior court decision IS requested by the plaintiff.

CLUBBING PROGRAM
 HERE STIMULATED

David Babson, scout executive, announced this morning that as a result of the visit and classes con- ducted here Saturday by the na- tional director of Clubbing, c. Wal ter 6eamans, considerable attention will be given to the local program. He also pointed out Cubs are not Scouts, and that they function in- dependently. Cub troops are made up of boys who eventually join troops, but who are too young to register as Boy Scouts.
 At the present time there are but five Cub packs in the Mattatuck council. It is the aim of officials to have one Cub pack for every troop. This task will probably not be accomplished before the end of the year, or perhaps longer. But the program is under way and 1t is expected that several new packs will be formed within the next few weeks.
 Following his courses at Crosby high school Saturday, during which the national director addressed both boys and council members on the plans in connection with the for nation of a clubbing movement, MT. Seamans left for Massachusetts. He will continue on a tour throughout the country, in an attempt to stimu- late interest in this comparatively new movement.

considered satisfactory enough to warrent the earlier dismissal.
 The longest period a boy reported was six months and the shortest three months.
 Judge Comments
 In his talk to the boys, Judge McGrath said that in all his 25 years of contact with young boys and girls, he had never seen finer group of probationers. He stressed the fact that their misdemeanors had been slight offenses and would not give them court records; in fact, they had never come before court.
 Judge McGrath also expressed his appreciation for the interest shown by the teachers in Waterbury schools in cooperating with the juvenile court to bring about re- adjustment of the boys. Several and principals wrote personal notes regarding the conduct of the chill dren while under their care.
 Many of the probationers were SC regular in their reports to the pro- bation office that they ventured fort in cold and rain to keep up their records, in spite of the fact that they understood indictment weather automatically excused them from making their weekly visit. One lad exhibited unusual fortitude by keeping his appointment in the heavy downpour of the recent flood rains. He lost roller skate on the way, but when his story became known to Judge McGrath a brand new pair of ball-bearing roller skates was ordered for the young ster.
 Won Trophy
 Several of the boys were already members of the Boys club and others were given memberships. One boy proudly displayed silver lov- ing cup which he had earned for perfect attendance in the club.
 Judge McGrath closed the session by shaking hands with each boy. He reminded thoseg raduating in June to send him an invitation to the exercises.
