Wilfred Benoit, well known public service car operator, was painfully in- jured Tuesday. at what is known as the Perryville crossing, near Webster, when the big touring car he was ‘driving was struck by a passenger train bound from Southbridge to. Webster. According to reports that were receiv- ed here by Captain Remi Delage of the nolice: department,. Benoit noted the ap- proach of the train and aplied his brakes, causing the machine he was driving to skid so that the réar end swung around and was hit by the train. Benoit was taken to Webster, where he received ‘treatment for his injuries. His car was quite badly damaged through contact with the train. At the time of the accident that state | highway on which Benoit was driving as wet and slippery. The crossing is a bad one and other and more serious accidents have occurred there. In the superior ecourt hers Tuesday morning, the first case to go on trial at the opening of the March term, Judge L. P. Waldo Marvin presiding, was that of Edith M. Carpenter's appeal from pro- bate. The estate that figures in the case is that of Mrs. Nancy E. Howard, 73, for many years a resident of Woodstock, but who died on March 17 of last year—the day after she made the will that is now a/subject of litigation—at the home of her second cousin, Harry A. Carpenter, who lives in Wales, Mass., just over the border of Connecticut from Union. The will provides that $100 be set aside for the town of Union te be used as a perpetual care fund for her ceme- tery lot, and that the remainder .of her estate is bequeathed to her “‘beloved cous- in, Harry A. Carpenter of Wales, Mass.” The Miss carpenter who has anpealed from the decree of the Woodstock pro- bate court is a niece of the testatrix. Judge Clarence A. Child of the.probate court for. the district of Woodstock ‘was the first witness called to the stand. He testified .as 'to the hearing held in his court relative to Mrs. Howard's estate and ‘of the allowance of the wifl. Ozro P. Roycs, who is not only the chalrman of the board of selectmen of Wales, but also’ the town clerk, a no- tary public and justice of the peace, was called as the ‘next witness and testified to drawing the will. He sajd he went to Mr. Carpenter'’s home, where - Mrs. Howard was staying and had bécome il at Mr. Carpenter's request and had drawn the will according to her direction, ‘will was witnessed by Mrs. Howard's attending physician, who happened to be present, by Mr. Carpenter and by anoth- er_man. . Mr. Carpenter described in detail, how, at her own request, Mrs. Howard was propped up in bed, so that she might sign the will, which had been read to her and was made as she had directed. Mr Royce suggested to her, he sald, that she might sign by a cross as “her mark, but she declined, saying she preferréd to slgn her name, using her left hand to do so, because her right hand was dis- abled. - Mr. Rovee said that Mrs. How- ard seemed to be clear in her mind and to know exactly what she wanted to do with her estate, though she died on the following day. _The appealee endeavored during the course of the trial to show that undue Influence was exerted upon Mrs. Howard. This is denied by the other side. The estate, including realty and per- Sonal property, is sald to amount to between $3,500 and $4,000. County Secretary John H. Corbett of the Y. M. C.

At the close of this address the boys all adjourned to the park where the con- ference photograph was taken with the Falls as a background.

Brothers” in which he told of the great need which boys and young men of other nations have of some of the splendid advantages which American boys have alway taken as a matter of course. He appealed to the conferénce to have some share in making life more worth while for the less fortunate bays of other lands. The boys responded. to this appeal by con- tributing $84.05 for the promotion of boys' work in forelgn countries. The closing address was by J. B.

This service was very impressive. This conference was made possible through the hearty co-operation of the ministers, Sunday school teachers, scout- masters, leaders of Y. M. C. A. groups and others of the county who are inter- ested in the greatest welfare of the boys of the county. Right here In Putnam—nt the Man- tup farm of E. C.

P.)— As fascinating as a tale by Jules Verne was the plan for aerial exploration of the ‘roof of the world” sketched today in full for the first time by Cabtain Roald Amundsen. discoverer of the South’Pole. Arriving from Norway on the Stavang- ertjord, the explorer [flunged at once into the work or _organizing the expedition which sails: June 1 from Seattle to drifc across the North® Pole—an expedition which Amundsen expects.will revolution- ize Polar exploration and provide a short out to invaluable sclentific knowledge. The expedition which sails this time for the North Pole will Tiot be Itke those which have preceded it, acocrding to its leader. Tts vision will not be confined to a few miles on either side of the shin, but from the air it will’be able to take in at a glance objects 20 ‘miles away. Tt awill not be for' years cut off from touch With the outside world, leaving friends and rel- atives to wonder ¥ the northiand had smashed in its icy fist the hardy adve turer who encroached onifs fastnesses. Instead it will talk by radio four times a day with Washington, and when jt re- turns in three or five years, it will'know what the ciflzed world has been doing during its absence. Tt will not have sent years chartine merely a narrow strip, but with the aid of_ aviation, will be able to chart 1,000, 000 square miles, sketching the currents of the air as well as those o fthe sea. For centupries sclentists have believed that currents of the North Pole have been re- sponsible for climatic phepomena in the part of the world in which civilized man lives. 1t is upon his. airplanes—two in mum- ber—that Amundsen pins his chief hoves and it was uoon on of them that he focus- sed his attention as soon as he stecped ashore today. Hardly had he landed than he hastened to a conference with John M. Larsen, a movernor of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce of America. After luncheon came the announcement that the larger of the twn planes selected by the explorer ‘would be the all-metal Larsen, monoplane which on Decerber 29, flying over Mine- ola, L.

Amundsen said today he expect- ed seldom o encounter a temerature lower than that in which the plane already has been tested. Besides the monoplane, Amundsen wil take an Avro scout plane, a smaller Brit ish ship which will be used only within the vicinity of the Maude. The monoplan: with a eabin in which 11 persons ha been carried, will be self-supporting. She is 50 equipped that she can carry large stock of fuel and provisions and to her can be adjusted skis, wheels or pontoons, =0 that she can land on any surface. With her aid, Amundsen believes he can chart a 200 mile wide course across the top of the earth. Lieutenant Oscar Omdel ,of the N wegzian naval air force, who arrived day with the explorer, will pilot the Lar- sen Monoplane. The explorer plans (o leave for Washington soon to complete arrangements for twireless relays His radio plan at present consists of flashing reports from airplane to the moth- er ship, which is equipped with transmit- ting apparatus of 2,000 miles radius. The ship then will communicate with Nome, Alaska, and Nome will relay to the pow- erful station at St. Paul on the Behring sea. ' St. Paul will send the messages di- rectly to Washington. Amundsen said he wauld take ten men with him when he sets out for Nome ts drift to Spitzbergen, with food sufficient for scven years. Because of the fce and dangerous currents in the North Polar basin, the explorer believes the only in- vestigation possible therz will be from the air. Besides Omdel, Amundsen will take with him another wilot, Odd Dahl. also 2 Norwegian, who will have charge of th¢ A+To and who now is proceeding to, Seattle by way of the Panama Canal.
