NEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. 11. Counsel
for Mrs. Bennett, widow of Phllo S. Ben
nett, today filed a long statement of rea
sons for the appeal recently taken from
the decision of Probate Judge Cleveland In
relation to Mr. Bennett's will. In the for
mal notice of appeal it was briefly an
nounced that objection would .be taken to
all bequests In the will providing for trust
bequests, and also to the appointment of
Mr, Bryan as executor trustee. That state
ment waa elaborated In the document filed
today, which, after repeating the clauses
of the will that are taken, says Mr. Bryan
Induced and persuaded Mr. Bennett to sign
a paper addressed to William J. Bryan, and
to copy a considerable portion of another
paper, the said ropy to be addressed to
Mrs. Bennett. The papers referred to are
the sealed letter by which Mr. Bryan and
family were to be given fSO.OUO by consent
of Mr. Bennett, and a letter similar In pur
port, which Mr. Bryan produced In court.
The appeal says it was then the Intention
of Mr. Bryan and his wife that only the
sealed letter addressed to Mrs. Bennett
was to be brought to her knowledge, "and
that was for the purpose of inducing her
to permit William J. Bryan to get the
150,000."
It is also declared to have been the In
tention of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan not to make
public the other paper, addressed to Mr.
Bryan as "My Dear Mr. Bryan," or to have
It brought to the knowledge of Mrs. Ben
nett. The document continues:
The wrltlnr addressed to this appellant.

addreaaed to the widow expreealy slated
that If William J. Bryan, fur any reason,
Is unwilling to receive that sum for him
self, that he shall distribute thetU),0iO

stituted him a truatee for his wife and
children, and the sum of fS.Qut), If received
by Mr. Bryan, would belong to his wife
and children, all of which Mr. Bryan and
his wife well knew.
Beaaett Did Hot Owm Heaaes. 1
It Is declared f the sealed letter ad
dressed to Mrs. Bennett "further mis
states and Is misleading In that Mr. Ben
nett did not then own nor at any time
thereafter did he own the Bridgeport
houses referred to," and Mr, Bennett will
not receive under the document probated
as the will of Mr. Bennett the amount
that Mr. Bennett Intended she should have,
The statement contained in the letter
to Mrs. Bennett, which says: "It la my
dealre that no one excepting you and Mr.
Bryan himself shall know Sit this letter
and bequest," Is declared to be mislead

gram. At 1 o'clock this morning Gus
Lund, a Bwede who had for two weeks been
working with the construction gang of
the Newton 4 Northwestesn, was shot and
killed in the home of Henry Held, a cigar
manufacturer of this, city.
Lund had been drinking and when he
started home got lost and went to the
wrong house. He tried to break In at the
front door and tried to raise the window.
Failing there, he went to a side door and
forced an entrance.
During this time Mr. Held, who had
been awakened, was trylny to find out what
he wanted and ordered him to leave. As
the fellow did not go, Mr. Held fired several
shots from the upstairs window. When
he found that the man forced an entrance,
Mr. Held descended the stairs with a shot
gun and when the supposed burglar tried
to pass through an inner door Mr. Held
fired through the door. He heard the man
fall and summonded the sheriff, who lived
Just across the street. Upon the latter's
arrival they opened the Inner door and
found Lund weltering In his blood on the
floor. He died at I o'clock without having
spoken. While the coroner's Jury has not
yet made an official report It Is known that
no blame whatever Is attached to Mr Held.

quite a deficit In his business.
A question) that waa taken up, and upon
which a resolution was adopted, was that
of making a request from the weighing
departments at the terminal points to no
tify shippers when a car was received
that waa in a leaky condition. The cases
are numerous, the dealers say, of cars be
ing sent out for handling grain where holes
permitted the grain to leak out, and pro
ducing a shortage at the other end.
The inspection of grain In Minneapolis
waa handled quite vigorously by the deal
ers. Wheat which la graded and bought
for No.- 3 In this state Is graded No. I

and it appears to them that It Is unneces
