Do not let us give a false impression to the world that in ‘the moment of the country’s gravest emergency we are divided one against another.

Amid the demonstration, Asquith, his face usually pale, now glowing with satisfaction, walked down the floor of the house to pre- sent the bill formally to the cham- ber. His appearance was the signal for an ovation, members on all sides cheering. * An analysis of the vote showed that the government had held the great bulk of the liberal and con- servative vote.

Martin Make Request to Court With the object of breaking a trust provision in the will of the late Alice Stanley Martin of Greens Farms, for- merly Mrs. Fred N. Stanley of this city, a request in legal form was pro- sented in the Fairfleld county superior court at Bridgeport yesterday by J. Bdward Martin of Westport and Alix V. Stanley, president of the Stanley Rule & Level company. Mr. Stanley a stepson and Mr. Martin the husband of the deceased and by the terms of her will Mr. was Martin was to have the life use of a portion of the estate believed to represent about a half million. At Mr. Martin’s death, Mr. Stanley was to become the absolute possessor or this sum, but December 13 1 year, Mr. Martin entered into an agreement with Mr. Stanley by which rrendered all his interest in the trust in property securities and real estate. The consideration is not stated except in the usual legal phrase of “for one dollar and other valuable consideration,” but it is probable that a large cash consideration figured in the deal. Mr. Stanley is now enjoying a cruise on his yacht in southern waters. He signed the agreement while in Florida and Mr. Martin put his signature to the papers before proper authorities in Virginia. Mrs. Martin was for a long time a resident of this city and occupied the ous mansion at Park street and Franklin Square, but gave up her resi- dence here when her marriage to Mr. Martin took place. The house on pital. The New Britain Trust company was named trustee of that portion of Mrs. Martin’s estate in which the local institutions share, but is in no way concerned with the matter brought before the superior court in Bridge- port yesterday Mr. Martin has again married. His present wife is much younger than he is.
