ST NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 2. — AS a climax to the hearing of the application of the probating of the will of the late Philo S. Bennett, accompanying which was a sealed letter which Willlam J. Bryan to-day testified was a request that | he accept $50,000, Judge Stoddard, who | represents Mrs. Bennett, declared that if Bryan insisted upon receiving the fund his client would contest the will. | Bryan, in reply, said that not one cent | of the money would he allow either his | wife or his children to receive unless Mrs. Bennett were willing. He, however, did intend to ask the court to decide the validity of the bequest, so that in case | it was declared legal he could distribute | the money among educational and char- | itable institutions. | During the hearing Bryan introduced a | mass of correspondence between himself and Bennett from the vear 1896 to 1900. He read a number of the letters aloud, in order to show that Bennett repeatedly made offers of financial assistance to him. On four oceasions, according to the wit- ness, Bennett sent him money to aid him, the amount in all aggregating $3500. He related that in May, 190, Bennett came to Lincoln, Neb., to discuss the %Wm .ZZUGJ']T provisions of his will and told Bryan .. that he wished him to accept a bequest of | $50,00, believing that he would need it| | RAILROAD MAN CHOSEN AS later.

ST in Special Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, Oct. 21.—The High Court | of, the Independent Order of Foresters this afternoon elected the following offi- cers: R. E. Wirsching of Los Angeles, high chief ranger; G. L. Stewart of San Francisco, high vice chief ranger; W, H. Perry of Los Angeles, high secretary; E A. Cameron of San Francisco, high treas- urer; Dr. D. A. Kellogg of Placerville, high physician; George W. Hoyle of Clov- | eraale, | S8an Mateo and Fred T. Hughes of Los Angeles, high auditors. The most important feature * of the morning session was the report of the finance committee. The committee recom- mended that the High Court dues remain at $1, ds last year. No change was rec- omended in the salaries of the high sec- retary, high treasurer or high auditor. It was recommended that the office of high chief remain an honorary. one, as before, but that he be allowed traveling ex- penses when actually visiting courts. It was also recommended that the State be divided into three districts—the Northern, Central and Southern—and that the dis- tricts be apportioned for visitation, so that the high chief would have one dis- trict, the past high chief one and the high vice chief one, and thag they be paid $ per day and traveling expenses while actually engaged in visiting the courts, each to visit all the courts in his district at least once a year. All other missionary work was left to the high stading committee, with the rec- ommendation that the committee ‘men- tioned secure from the Supreme Court of the order all possible ald in organization and extension work. San Diego was chosen as the next meet- ing place. e Despondent Italian Kills Himself.

PAYNE REMOVES THREE ATTAGHES GABINET RETIRES WITH PREMIER Orders Dicmissal of a|Zanardelli's Resignation Fourth Postoffice Employe. Head of the Department Acts Upon the Report of Bristow. gl WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Postmaster General Payne to-day removed from of- fice Michael W. Louls, superintendent of supplies of the Postoffice Department; Louis Kemptner, chief of the registry di- vision of the third assistant postmaster general's office, and C. B. Terry, a $00 clerk in the Postoffice Department, and directed the postmaster at New York to remove Otto Weis, a clerk. These removals are the first result of Fourth Assistant. Postmaster General Bristow’s report on the irregularities in the Postoffice Department. Postmaster General Payne made the following official statement: Michael W, Lewis has been removed from the office of superintendent of supplies becguse the recent investigation shows that he in- fluenced the awarding of contracts for sup- plies to favored bidders; that he has been extravagant and wasteful in the administra- tion of his office and that he has paid ex- cesslve prices for supplies to favored con- tractors. Louls Kempfner, superintendent of the reg- istry system, has been removed for incom- petent and negligent administration; for waste- expensive manifold registration hooks fo a large number of small fourth-class postoffic and for vioating the revenue laws by a sy tem of petty smuggling. C. B. Terry, a clerk in the division of sup- rlies, has been removed for making false af | davits; attempting to obtain money from clerks under ‘the guise that he could influence their promotion and general inefficiency. In reply to questions, Mr. Payne sald the removals were the result of disclo- | sures made to the Bristow report. “I have read the report,” he sald, “‘ana am free to say that my, action to-day was the reswt of its perusal.” He declined to say whether there would be other removals, but it is understod that, while a few others may follow, there may not be any wholesale dismis- sals. It is sald that there are three or four other employes upon whose conduct there is some reflection and whose cases hang in the balance. They were not im- plicated so much as those whose cases were acted upon to-day and some of them may remain permanently in the postal service, though, possibly, not in their present positions. Weis, the New York clerk who has been relieved, is said to have enjoyed confi- dentlal relations with George W. Beav- ers, late superintendent of the salary and allowance division, and he is charged | with having acted as a medium through which other clerks in the New York post- office were communicated with, —_———— | Of Interest to Pacific Coast | WASHINGTON, Oct. 21L—Fourth-class | postmaster appointed: Washington — ; Charles Fish, Austin, Island County, vice H.

Minister of Agriculture, a Famous Physician, Ad- vises Step. e 5 1580 ROME, Oct. 21.—The Cabinet has re- signed. The decision to take this step was reached uhanimously at a ministerial council held to-day and after Premier Zanardelll announced he had sent in his resignation in consequence of failing health. The resignation of the Premier was ten- dered to King Victor Emmanuel to-day, and it is in no way connected with the political situation. This was clearly set forth at the ministerial council. Signor Zanardelli’s - health is daily becoming ‘wors Other members of the Cabinet essayed in vain to dissuade the Premier from resigning, but his decision so to do was supported by Signor Bacelll, Minister of Agriculture, who is a famous physi- clan. —————————— COLLEGE MATE PREACHES THE FUNERAL PANEGYRIC Cardinal Gibbons Celebrates Requiem High Mass for Repose of Soul of Archbishop Kain.
