NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 21.—The inability of opposing counsel in the case of the will of the late Philo S. Bennett to agree on the form of the formal decree to be entered in the Pro- bate Court proceedings was made man- ifest to-day when Judge Henry Stod- dard, as counsel for Mrs. Bennett, the widow, and other heirs, filed with Judge Livingston W. Cleveland of the court his draft of the form of the de- cree. With it Judge Stoddard submit- ted a note to the court saying that At- rney Hewitt of counsel for William J. Bryan, the executor of the will, had been unable to agree with him as to the wording of the decree. Later in the day Mr. Bryan's attor- decree which they desired entered. After a statement that the will “is ap- proved, allowed and ordered to be re- corded” this document declares that the court finds that the envelope and the letter which was within it are the sealed letter referred to in section 12 of the will, and that no undue influence SOLDIERS SLAIN LONDON, Nov. 21.—The mails carried | was used, but that the court further | inds that the envelope and letter are | not proved to have been in existence at | the time of the execution of the will; that the typewritten document which Mr. Bryan offered was in evidence at the time of the execution of the will; that the letter contained in the envelope was copied therefrom, but that the typewritten document is not the sealed | letter referred to in section 2 of the | will; that the court therefore orders that neither the letter nor the typewrit- | ten document be admitted to probate, without prejudice, however, to any claim which may be hereafter made, that they may be operative as a declar- ation of the trust mentioned in sec- tion 12 of the will, or otherwise. Judge Cleveland said that in view of the conflicting forms of the decrees of- fered he would draw the decree him- self, giving all parties an opportunity for a hearing on it if so desired during :‘ the next week —e——————— Carnegie Cheered at Birthplace.

Committee Decision Favor- able to General Will Not End Strife. Witnesses Tell of Cuban Gambling Company’s Gift of Silver Set to the Former Rough Rider. BT WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—The Senate Military Committee continued its in- vestigation to-day of the charges made against General Wood. | Major Rathbone, who filed many of | the charges, was the first witness. He was asked if he had given out state- | ments concerning the inquiry, and ad- | mitted that he had done so. He was | requested in the future to, consider | whatever took place inside the com- mittee room to be executive, and he agreed to refrain from making public any of the subsequent proceedings. | The committee decided that all extra- | neous, irrelevant evidence should be ex- | cluded. Hearsay testimony, even if ! supported by documents known to be | on file at the War Depratment was | included in the matter ruled out, as! well as that of the witnes who told | of the general impressions relating to | the acceptance of the gifts from the Jai Alai company by General and Mrs. Wood. In this connection much of the ! evidence offered by Ernst Lee Conant of the Havana office of a New York| law firm was ruled out. The methods | of procedure are those of a court of | justice, with the members of the com- | mittee serving as court and jury. BITTER FIGHT IN PROSPECT. “If General Leonard Wood were on| trial for his life he would not receive instructions from the court more favor- able than the rulings which have been made by the Senate Military Commit- tee in the conduct of the present in-| vestigation,” said a member of the when asked con- cerning the methods used in detail with the various witnesses examined. It is believed that this evidence will go before the Senate in executive ses- | sion, and in the event of a decision by the committee favorable to General Wood the fight will be transferred to| the floor of the Senate. In fact, notice | of this has been given to a member of | the committee by one of the members | who joined in the protest against Gen- eral Wood's confirmation to be a briga- dier general.

Estimate of Loss Given at $700,000, When 1t Was Much Greater. ML L LT NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—The Financier this week says: The official statement of the New York Associated Banks last week showed a loss of $3,747,500 cash, instead of $720,400, the amount of loss which was estimated upon the basis of the traceable movements of money | during the week. This discrepancy of more than $3,000,000 between the official and the estimated loss cannot be ac- counted for even on the supposition that it was due to the operation of the average system. The assay office paid gold, which payment was not included | in the estimates; moreover, the whole | of the disbursement should, it would | seem, have been accounted for in cash | | Doubtless in the’ current receipts by the banks, because the pay- | ments were distributed throughout the entire week. There was a transfer to San Francisco on Friday of $500,000, which did not appear in the estimates, but this would count only for an aver- age of one day, or one-sixth of the amount. The estimated loss in the pre- vious week showed a decrease of $4,266,4 100 cash, while the official statement indicated a reduction of $2,913,200. It is quite possible, therefore, that some of the loss in the week enditx November 14 was brought over intu last week, thus partly accounting for the above noted discrepancy of $3,000,000. The deposits decreased $6,180,700 last week, and the required reserve was te— eby reduced $1,520, deducting ths sum from the loss of cash leaves $2,227,075 as the decrease in surplus re- seive to $3,911,350. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of $36,810,100 of public funds, the surplus is $13,111,- 625. Loans were decreased $2,620,700, probably reflecting the average of calls made late in the week and also the liquidating of speculative accounts on the Stock Exchange. Borrowing upon sterling investments was most likely not large enough to have an- offsetting influence. Comparisons of loans with the previous week show that six of the larger banks reduced this item by $400,000 net. Cash changes show a loss | by six banks of $3,800,000. Though the surplus reserve of the bonks is low, this fact should cause no concern. week the greater part of the $6,000,000 gold now | in transit will arrive, and payment therefor should be reflected in the bank statement. @ il el @ | vana to New York while the granting of a concession to the establishment was pending. The story of the tele- gram was told to Conant by G. K. Childs, a shareholder in the Jal Alal. He said that Pedro Galbis, secretary of the establishment, went to New York to purchase a silver dinner set for Gen- eral Wood and while there was ordered not to make the investment until no- tice of the granting of the concession was printed in the officlal gazette of Havana. The concession was granted, a telegram was sent to Galbis and, ac- { cording to Conant, the purchase was made at a cost of $5100. After much discussion the commit- tee ruled this testimony out of order. Galbis is dead, but it Is said the tele- gram can be produced and will be of- fered to the Senate. A request has been made that the committee subpena a number of army officers who served in Cuba with Gen- eral Wood, but thus far no action has been taken by the committee in that direction. NEWSPAPER MAN TESTIFIES. Herbert J. Browne, a newspaper man, who was in Cuba during the American occupation, was called as a witness. Brown told the committee that he had obtained the affidavits made by share- holders in the Jai Alai Company which had been filed by Major Rathbone. In the affidavits the shareholders declared their stock had been assessed for the purpose of paying the cost of the pres- ents which were given by the gambling establishment to General and Mrs. Wood. Browne was questioned also in regard to the charge that General Wood knew the character of. the Jai Alai Company when he argued in favor of granting it a concession to operate. ‘When reference to/ this charge was made by Browne, he was asked by Sen- ator Cockrell to substantiate his asser- tion. He did so by directing attention to official publications in Cuban news- papers, showing the nature of the Jaf Alal’s establishment. The statements included a copy of the company’s by- laws and it was declared that these had been suppressed by General Wood In his statement to the War Depart- ment concerning the establishment. The ground gone over by Browne is covered in the general statement of charges flled with the company by Ma- Jor Rathbone. It is expected Browne will again be called before the investi- gation is concluded. RATHBONE’S ACCUSATIONS. After Browne left the committee room, Major Rathbone resumed his statement where he left off yesterday. He was examined closely in regard to his charges that General Wood used coercion and undue Influence with the courts in getting Instructions which were unfavorable to Major Rathbone on his trial in connection with the post- al fraud cases. Secretary Root. in response to a re- quest from the Military Committee, composed a report on the military rec- ord of General Wood. It is a strong condemnation of that officer. The Sec- retary reviews his career, pointing out that he was first a line officer and then became a surgeon. When a surgeon he asked and obtained command of troops in the Geronimo campaign. Root appends letters of commendation by General Miles and the late General Lawton. He also points out General Wood's services during the Spanish war and calls attention to the fact that he has been five times named as a gen- eral officer, twice as a brigadier gen- eral of volunteers, once as a major gen- eral of volunteers, once as brigadier general in the regular army and again HON.
