The house substituted the Jonmes bill, which would give a greater measure of self- government. The preamble of this measure iecites that it is the inten- tion of the United States eventually to free the Philippines, without speci- fying the time. The bill now goes to a conference of the house and senate. The house instructed its conferees not to agree to the fixing of any definite date for Hhilippine independence. Manuel L. Quezon, resident com- ioner of the Philippines in con- predicted that the bill would die in conference and that the fight for political freedom of the islands | would be most difficult in the future, | He was disappointed he said he would not return to congress. The final vote stood 213 to strike | out the Clarke amendment and 165 against. The vote by which the Jones bill was substituted was 251 for and 17 against. The body of the Jones bill contains no ¥eference to Philippine in- dependence. Republicans were jubilant over the | house’s action the majority announced. and hooted after lustily the vote at side ON'T 60 TO BED WITH COLG | FEET “Often Brings on Attacks Acute Reumatism.” ys: of An ounce of prevention is worth a | pound of cure, and people who are | subject to attacks of rheumatism should never go to bed with cold feet. | A whole lot is being said about tak- Ing salts and effervesing tablets for rheumatism and sciatica, but thos who suffer sharp twinges and painful swollen joints need something power- ful to overcome their piteous suffer- ing.

Beyond the appci ent of two committees there was litile definite donme. It was da- cided to hold another meeting of the stockholders Friday evening at 7:45, May 15, in the Chamber of Commerce rooms. By that time it is that sufficient progress will have been made to make it the first annual meet- ing of the stockholders. There has bean no name for the land zompany, which is neccessarily the first to be organized, selected but the maiter has been left in the hands of the com- mittee. A name for the proposed country club will be chosen later. The meeting of the organization last evening was called to order by C. F. Bennett, who was succeeded by George P, Hart as chairman. William T. Sloper was elected secretary. E. Allen Moore was called upon by the chairman to explain the situatio as far as it had developed. Mr. Mo limited himself to describing the lay- out of the land which had been ac quired. The property roughly speak- ing forms a block of 300 acres hound- ed on the north by Shuttle Meadow road and running a little east of the road which runs Mountain Grov Further south the mountain ridee forms the western boundary and a road near Hart's pond in Kensington is on the south. On the east the pro- perty runs along Lincoln street exten- sion to Rhinedecker's lane. It is ap- proximately one mile and three qu: ters across the property north and south. It was explained that fifty cight sustaining members had al- ready signed the agreement to fur- nish $100 a2 year to insure running expenses. About 100 regular mem- bers at $40 a year is the present pros- pect, On moticn of H. L. Platt, the chair- man appointed a committee of three, J. E. Cooper, E. A. Moore and H. L. Platt, to attend to the incorporation of the association with lect a name and acquire the certifi- cate of incorporation.

Hilton of Portchester, filed a protest yester- day in the Surrogates' Court to the eighth annual accounting of the ex- ccutors. The complainant is a son of Judge Hilton, who was to receive one- third of the residuary estate. The present trustees of the estate are Ed- ward D. Harris of Yongers, N. Y. and the Central Trust company New York, which was appointed trustee on the death of Horace Rus- sell, a son-in-law of the decedent. The objections say that the estate | has been practically unproductive of income since 1912, that many of the properties held by the estate have already cost the estate more than the hook value of the properties and that | a continuance of the past conditions ' and management is likely to destroy entirely any value that many of the items may have. It further stated that whatever value the estate has should be at once realized by selling the properties, par- ticularly in view of the statement in | the will of the decedent, which asserts | that all of the property in the estate | should be given to executors in trust to “‘convert the same into money and | pay over and distribute the same “to the heneficiaries. ‘“Notwithstanding this provision of the will,” the com- plaint sets forth, “over sixteen years apsed since the death of the said Henry Hilton was admitted 1o probate on December 11, 1899.” The most valuable item in the es- tate now is a mortgage of $3,666,697 building, 280 Broad- . Judge Hilton was A. T. Stew- counsel, and upon the death of Stewart received the Broadway property through a legacy. Objection to the accounting W made on three counts. In the first place, it was contended that the pro- visions of the will had not been com- plied with because the property had not heen converted into money ana distributed; secondly, because the failure to do so had resulted in pra tically no net income from the estate, and, lastly, because the property had dwindled in value. In regard to th last point the obicctions sald: “The facts with regard to the said of property and estate of the tes are as hereinafter set forth and indeate that a continuation of the and management 1s e rtain items of property and likely to destroy entirely any valuc that the said certain items of prop- erty and estate may have. “The sald Stewart building present in the hands of Hdward D. { Harris as receiver in the action en | titled Baward D.
