YOUNG BEN re
OBJECTS TO HIS
MOTHER'S WILL
Asks Order Admitting Testa

Aside Wants Money Pro
visions Changed.
Van Wyck Benner, 15-year-old
son of the late Mrs. Happy Theo
dora Van Wyck Benner, is not satis
fied with his mother's will, which
provides that he shall receive $250-a
month until he is 21 years old.
He filed a petition in county court
yesterday through Fernando VV.
Benner, his father and guardian,
asking that the order given by that
court yesterday admitting the will
to probate be set aside. He 'also
asks leave to file objections to the
will.
The petition alleges that the will
precludes him from the possession
and enjoyment of his mother's es
tate until he is 30 years old.
"I do not believe mother wanted
such a provision made." young Ben
ner declares in the petition. "If I
should have a family it would also
be deprived of funds."
The will as it stands provides that
he shall receive the entire proceeds
of the estate after he is 21 years old,
but not have charge of the property
until he has reached the age of 30.
The Benner estate is estimated at
$500,000.
Charged With Murder.
Charles Joiner, negro, was
charged with first-degree murder
yesterday by County Attorney Shot
well on the recommendation of a
coroner's jury inquest held Thurs
day to investigate the death of John
Walker, negro, wTio was fatally
wounded on August 13 by a re
volver bullet alleged to have been
fired by Joiner. The shooting oc
curred at Twenty-fifth and Grant
streets.

political, according to the statement
by J. Kilmartin and W. F. Bruett,
whose names are signed to a call
for a gathering of the former sol

Thursday.
"Our purpose in organizing an as
sociation is purely social," said Mr.

the statement that politics will en
ter into our plans he is mistaken."
Cards have been mailed to former
members of the regiment requesting
a full attendance at 8 o'clock next
Thursday night. .'
