TI'I E PROBATE JIJ DOES.
Their Practices Warmly Defended by
G. M. Woodruff.
Former Railroad Commissioner
George M. Woodrufl. who is Judge of
probate for the Litchflcld district.
warmly defends the Connecticut. pro
bate Judges from criticisms growing
out of the D. Preston Atwood suits.
His defense, which takes the form of
a letter to the Litchflold Enquirer and
which will interest many Bridgeport
people, is as follows:
”Some evil-minded persons. though
knowing better. are. saying or insinu-
ating, that the Judges of probate
throughout the state are morally re
spousible for the Atwood suits against
administrations. etc, for not filing in-
ventories of the estates in their
charge. This is not correct. So far
as i know the universal practice of
the Judges when asked if an inventory
and appraisal must be made. has been
to explain that the law required it
and provided a penalty for failure to
have-it done, but that where the es
tatolwas verv small and other circum-
stances Justified. the court. unless
hdme one interested should demand it.
.would’excuse it. Those accustomed to
settle estates have fully understood the
situation. but in some cases. particu-‘3
larly where the executrix or summit
trutrls was- a- woman unaccounted
with the details of such mutton. they
appraised.‘ in no lust
dividual by the neglect to make an
inventory, but the cost of having ap-
praisers and the probate fees have
been saved for those more needy.
"I will not here discuss the probable
issue of these suits. i have. however.
no hesitation in saying that the 'men
who have instigated them. while per
haps within the letter of the law, are
engaged in an mints extort from
the verv poor the little they have.

NEW YORK. May 20.~—-Speclal des-
patches to the international Mercan-
tile Agency describe a general trade re-
vival this week at prominent Western
and southwestern centers. The stim-
ulus is noteworthy in contrast with con-
ditions existing during the previous
month, and has its basis in more seas-
onahle weather and increased orders
for spring stock. Jobbing centers re
port a material addition to the volume
of "re-stocking business" with a ten-
dency among many merchants to dupli-
cate orders previously given for spring
goods. Dry goods have been particu-
larly active, with a healthy demand for
both spring and fall atooit. Clothing
lines are also reflecting improvements.
which is specially evidenced through-
out'the southwest. Boots and shoes
arelmore active with strong inquiry
for the better qualities.
Heavy weight goods have been con-
sumed in such quantities as to exv
haust supplies of “carried-over stock"
to the lowest volume in years. This
has placed dealers in specially strong
position to handle seasonable goods
which they are doing profitably and
itionsly owin filo the generally
der weather. While improvement
has been noteworthy, however, it is
doubtful whothor the present lamb
of orders it Ill be sufiicient to make
not backward about securing goods
they really need. Everywhere under-
lying conditions are reported sound.
The crop situation has been greatly
benefitted by the warmer weather. Al-
though wheat suffered serious injury
by the setback encountered during the
recent cold snap a fair sized crop can
be {ousted on if normal conditions pro
