and intimate
ed the case for the proponents of his
will yesterday before Surrogate Cohol»
an and n Jury in New York, at the
trial of the will contest brought by
nephews and nieces. During the last
six weeks the contestants have pro-
(luccd more than seventy witnesses
who testified concerning Mr. Eno‘s
mental and physical condition during
the last year of his life, when he made
the will which left his residunry ea-
tate of about $7,000,000 to Columbia
University. Offsetifil'Z' their unani-
mous statement that they believed
Mr. ‘Eno to be mentally unbalanced
and easily subject to undue influence
in matters of business, the proponents
of. have more. than sixty witnesses who
will assert-that Mr. iErto was sane
about the time he made his will.
Dr. Calvin S. May. for years a friend
of Mr. Eric, opened the day of testi-
mony by asserting that he had had
opportunity to watch Mr. Eno closely
during the last year of his life, and
found him to be entirely rational.
George lL Read. a wealthy dealer in
real estate. said he had talked with
Mr. Eno during the year before his
death concerning his large realty in-
terests and found the aged man to be
in full possession of his business abil-
ity. William J. Van Pei, another
real estate dealer, assert d that he
had found Mr. Eno exceedingly sane
in business matters.
Peter R. Weller. who had known Mr.
Eno intimately for sixteen years.. said
that he had found him a sensible and
hard bended business man until the
last. Justice Wauhope Lynn. of the
Municipal Court, said he often Had
casion noi‘iong before his death, took
dinner with him. He found him to
be very sensible and not unlike other
intelligent ‘men of his age. He sat
Eno, knowing that ho had ninety vai-
uable parcels in this city. in order to
obtain good advice cheaply. He said
Mr. Eno warned him of the addition-
al expense of high class apartments
as compared with the " d water and
walk-up" variety. Wil Inf N.‘Cohen,

Judging from a scuffle which tooki
place yesterday afternoon, at the;
Norwalk iron Works, in which Honier"
Raymond "klOt'ked out" George Sco—
field in about one round. it seems that
Raymond should enter the pugilistic‘
ring instead of wasting his time in,
the iron foundry. Scoflelo. who went
down under a rain of hard blows, was
completely knockedout, and remain-
ed nil last night in a state of coma,
at the Norwalk Hospital, to which
place he was removed shortly \iter
the fracas. Raymond was placed un-
der arrest. but is now on! on $10)
bonds. and the case is being held up
awaiting Scofield's recovery. 2
According to the witnesses of the
affair, the fight started when Ray:
niond claimed that b‘cofielu had placed1
it wheelbarrow in his way, and by this
trick had hindered hint in his work.
Scofield hotly denied the charge. and
the argument waxed hot. Raymond
made a pass at Scoiield. caught him.
in the stomach with n stiff hook, and
then swung a hard lab to his oppon-T
ent‘s chin. The blows were heavy.‘
and evidently had a "kick" Judging
from the way Scoiield crumpled up.
The whole affair molt place no quickly
that the fellow workers of the two
thc‘
contestants until the damage had been'
done. and Scofield had been "laid out.’
A hurry call was sent in for :1“
dortors n id the police, and both aids:
arrived promptly. llr. Iluiiiortier nt
tended the injured man who liadlnllen
into a sort of coma. and Officer Strai-
ion placed Raymond under arrest and
escorted liiiti to police headquarters'.
A call was-”sent in for the ambula.icc.j
and Scofieid was removed to the hos-
,pital. where attempts to revive him’
from the coma. last night. were modal
,lt was stated at the hospital this!
morning, that Scoficld had lain un-,
Iconsclous all night, but this morning:
had recovered. and was resting coin-i
iorinbly. ‘ ,
The hearing on the case was on-;
tinued this morning, by Judge os-l
burgh. pending the. recovery of Sco-
lleld. Bonds were fixed for Raymond

WASHINGTON, D. 0., June 28.—
The moment that war is declared with
Mexico, Theodore Roosevelt is prepar-
ed to ask the War Department fol per-
mission to place ,a full division C
troops in the field, with himself as its
major general. according to friends of
his who have been working on the
scheme.
Already arrangements have been
made with persons who will be the
leaders of certain units, and as soon
as the War Department authorizes the
formation of such a division they will'
be notified to begin recruiting and or-
ganixlng.
it is probable that the. point of moh-
iilnntion and training will be in Texas,
where the Rough Riders were organiz-
ed. in the formation of this division.
it is said. ‘Mr. Roosevelt intends to
set an example to the country as to the
speed and thoroughness with which a
fully equipped trained and seasoned di-
vision of highly mobile troops may be
placed in the field.
To Be Fully Equipped.
Announcements made to-night by
friends of'Mr. Roosevelt do not make
it clear just how the division will be
equipped, whether by the government
or through private offerings. Anyway,
