Question the Ability 0f Late
Norwalk Man to Compose Will
The testamentary capacity- of John
Uolluilen. late of Norwalit. whose
will is being contested in Superior
Court by his nephews. Frank and
James McMullen. was attacked by
counsel yeuerdey when s. deed dated
August 13. 1919. six days before the
date oh his will. was introduced
showing it to be marked by the Jet-
ler “x" as the signature of the de-
ceased. It is claimed that c was so
weak he could not write his full sig-
nature.
Counsel for the plaintias read the
deed which purported to convey the
Norwalk real and personal property
of the deceased. valued at $60,000.
to Mrs. Laura Hughes. niece of the
toststor. and claimed by , the plain-
tiffs to have used undue influence on
McMullen affecting the distribution
of his estate.
Another broadside was levied at
the sanity of the testator when coun-
sel read a deposition of Whitman
Symmes of Californ‘n. former busi-
ness associate of McMullen. and a.
visitor at his home in March. 1919.
in which Symmes is said to have not-
ed in a diary that'hc visited McMul-
ion at his home in Norwaik and
found him "non compos mentls."
Symmes is said by counsel to have
been intimate with McMullen and at
one time to have saved the latter's
life in the Philippine Islands when he
was taken down with typhoid.
The fourth day of the trial was ni-
most entirely consumed in reading
depositions taken by corresponding
attorneys for the plaintiff in Califor-
nia and others by Attorney Homer
S. Cummings who personally went to
California last summer to gather the
evidence.
Estranged from Relatives
Counsel for the executors offered
evidence to show that McMullen was
somewhat estranged from his reTa-
tives by rcacVng a deposition on tes-
P. H.
timony given by Captain
Whitelaw of Piedmont. California in
which he stated that McMuilen had
confided in him that it was foolish to
work so hard for there was no one
to leave his money to. his relatives
.:
having proved failures
McMullen called him a. tool for
staying in business so long. he testi-
fied. "Your relatives will probably be
like mine and what'll be the use," he
is said to have remarked and to have
mentioned one nephew whom he had
set up in business several times only
to have him‘prove a failure.
In a number of depoetione wit-
nesses testified that they were of the
opinion that McMullen was of sound
mind. but on cross examination it
was brought out that these witnesses-
ss came in direct contact with Mc-
Mullen prior to 1920. '
. “fitness Called
Lucy W. Stebbens. dean of the W0-
men's College at the University of
California was one of the witnesses
interviewed by Attorney Cummings.
It was brought out in her testimony
that he was greatly interested in
the education of young people and
was instrumental in her obtaining a
college education at Radcliffe. She
said he assisted a. large number of
people to obfln a college education
and was always interested to know if
colleges had sufficient funds to meet
the ever increasing demands made by
larger numbers of students.
Court adjourned shortly after 4
o'clock yesterday until Tuesday morn-
ing at 10 o'clock_ whet the trial will
be resumed. It is expected that at
least two more weeks will be needed
to finish the introduction of evidence.
The will of McMullen. dated August
19. 1919. disposes of a. two million
dollar estate. with the, bulk of the
estate in .trust for the Sibley Engin-
eering School at Cornell University.
The plaintiffs ‘contest‘ the will on
the ground that McMullen was unduly
influenced by his niece. Mrs. Laura.
said to be one of the foremost en-
gineers in the" country. -lt is also al-
leged that he was not of sufficient
testamentary capacity to draw up a
will.
The, contorging plaintiffs. frank and
James McMullen. are residents' of
California and were mentioned in the
will to receive 840 a month for the
rest of their lives.
100 LESS BILLS IN
LEGISLATURE
Continued i'rom Page One)
. lion requested is from the New Ha-
ven Hospital. the amount being 3125,-
000.
The State Board of Education bills
‘ total slightly less than two million dol-
lars. over half of which is made up
from the average attendance grant
bill. There are two of these bills.
one presented in the Senate and one
in the House. but only one is con-
sidered in the above total. The Con-
necticut Agricultural College asks for
over a million in their bills. The re-
quests of the State Board of Health
amount to about 3185.000. For new
armories in the state. $775,000 is
asked. Gaylord Snnitorium. Fitch's
Home. Long Lane Farm. the Connec~
ticut School for Boys, the Institute
for |the Blind. the State Firemen’s As-
loclation, the Mystic Oral School
for the Deaf. and the Connecticut
State Hospital. have bills requesting
appropriations of almost a million and
a half. To complete state aided high-
ways a bill calls for $100,000.
Taking the more important appro-
priations bills, over seven million dol-
lare is found to be the total. This of
’course does not include any state de-
partments and is but a part of the big
budget bill which will be presented
the first of April.. It is a safe conjec-
ture that somewhere in this list. con-
liderabie pruning is going to be noted.
Medical Bills.
Vaccination. dentistry and chiro-
puctio comprise the only important
medical bills introduced. The vaccin-
ation bills are directed against com-
pulsory vaccination. and the dentis-
try bill is aimed at raising the stand-
ard of the practice of dentistry.
There are five hills which affect the
chiropractors and they are aimed at
raising the standard of that profes-
sion. A high school education or its
equivalent is demanded to insure an
educational standard where there is
none stipulated at present. Chiroprac-
tors do not use the title “doctor"
under the statute at present. and it is
proposed that when e. degree ivom a.
recognized school of chiropractic is
possessed. such title may be used. It
is also proposed to allow a. chiroprac-
tor to sign a death certificate in cases
where it is necessary. and in appoint-
ing an examining board, the governor
shall appoint members of the board
from a list submitted by the Connec-
ticut association and providing that
such appointees must have practiced
at least three years continuously in
this state. Formerly the Medical pro-
fession assumed an attitude of opposi-
tion-toward the chiropractors, but .e
. obvious intent of the bills introduced
this year has resulted in no opposition
being heard of.
Licensing Bills.
Licensing and regulating various
forms of business in the state always
can be expected when bills are intro-
duced at the beginning of the session.
and the present session has its share
of proposed licensing. ' A bill for ii-
I ,‘consing real estate brokers has been
. introduced by Senator MacDonald of
blow Haven. A similar bill caused
quite e. furore in the 1921 session. and
is expected to invite a crowded com-'
utilise hearing thill time. It is a. fin-
‘ filled product. in multiple patch-aha

, licensing bills before this assembly.

Odd Measures.
Reference has been made to "freak"
legislation proposed. The te'rm is
not used in the sense that such legis-
lation is ludicrous. but that its oddity.
as far as the atmosphere of the staid
old state capitol is concerned. make it
conspicuous. Senator McGrath of
VVaicrburyy has introduced a. bill
which would make a depositor of a
savings bank whose account is $100
or more. eligible to become astock-
holder in that bank because of such
deposit. allowing him voting power.
and power to become one of the
bank‘s officials. Such a bill is at
least odd.
Another bill. introduced by Senator
Suisman of Hartford. would prohibit
animals. birds or camelione to be ex~
hibited at public or private fairs or
on the streets fOr soliciting purposes.
This of course would do away with
the immortal organ grinder and his
monkey. Still another bill. intro-
duced by Senator Kenealy of Siam-
ford. would make it unlawful to re-
fuse to rent flats or apartments on
account of children in the prospective
tenant's family. It would also pro-
hibit advertising the fact that apart-
ments or flats would not be rented to
families with children.

McGrath. Democratic leader. has in-
troduced measures affecting‘ prohibi-
tion and public utility matters, and
it is expected that practically solid
Democratic support will be accorded
them.
Railroad Hearing.
The railroad hearing of Wednesday.
which drew a big audience in antici-
pation of hearing speeches. was
rather disappointing to those who ex-
pected anything sensational. Much
to the surprise of many. the side of
the New Haven Road was applauded
quite heartily. This is not the last
railroad hearing—there will be others.
It is interesting to note that but two
dr three women were present. and
only_one remained until the close of
the hearing. which was held in the
Hall of the House. Apparently pres-
ent transportation troubles did not
rest heavily upon the women.
The Little Red School Home.

ference to the “little red school-
house" at the McKinley Banquet last
Saturday night in Waterbury. has

RECEPTION AT
' PARSBNAGE
as Fully one hunorodund twenty-dive
' ‘ople participated in the reception
tendered Rev. Ernest F. McGregor.
pastor of the Norwalk Congregational
church. and Mrs. McGregor, last night.
The reception was held in‘ the new
parsonage at 94 East avenue and
marked the formal opening of the
parsonage as well as the eleventhan-
nivereary of Dr. McGregor'e pastorate
in Norwalk. The reception was a de—
lightful- affair and Dr. and Mrs. Mc-
Gregor were showered with congratu-
lotions.
Twentyflive years ago the new par-
sonage. which is supposed to have
been built by a member of the old
Bette family. was the property of the
Norwalk Congregational church and
was at that time used as a parsonage.
Since that time the house was owned
by Dr. Shelton and William H. Raye.
It was from the latter that the Nov-
waik Congregational church purv
chased it. '
The parsonage is a splendid resi-
dence. large and roomy. although
constructed on the old rambling style
0n the ground floor. there is a large
west and an east parlor. together with
s-diningroom and kitchen. The second
study and the others as bedrooms.
It was in the north parlor that Dr.
‘und Mrs. McGregor received guests.
They were assisted by Mr. and Mrs. P.
D. Stannard. Mr. and Mrs. A. Carmi
Belts. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Marvin.
and Mr. and Mrs. George Barnum.
The reception was more or less in-
formal; theguests dropping in for a
few moments to greet and congratu-
late Dr. and Mrs. McGregor. inspect
the parsonage and depart. Icevcream
and cake were served.
The parlors were nicely arranged
for the occasion with a profusion of
cut-flowers. The flowers were ar-
ranged by Mrs. Charles Rogers.

ties Committee. of which Mrs. Arthur

Dr. McGregcr acceptor! the call to
the Norwaik Congregational Church
on February 2.1912. Although not
he came to Norwaik on a Thursday
night and conducted prayer services.
This it will be seen that the reception
was doubly opportune. not only b‘e~
cause at the opening of the new par—
sonage. but because of the eleventh
anniversary of Dr. McGregor's connec-
tion with the church. During the
years in this dty. Dr. and Mrs. Mc-
Grogor have made scores of friends
and have done splendid work in build-
ing up the church.
Up to August 11, 1897. the new par-
sonage was used as a parsonage for
the Norwaik Congregational church.
At that time the place was ocoupied
by Rex-I Thomas K. Noble‘ and his-
wife. Through the will of Mrs George
K. Cowles. the church inherited the
former parsonage at 69 East avenue.
and upon taking possession sold the
residence at 94 East avenue.
The old parsonage had a most in—
teresting history. As ,stated before it
was the gift of Mrs: Cowles. who also
left the church much of the furnish—
ings. Relative to the bid parsonage,
