Judge Hubbell in Statement
Says Members Are Trying
to Anticipate Legacy.
That the members of st. Paul's Ep.
iscopai church are so anlxous for a
new church building that they are ain-
tlcipating the William K. James ‘le-
gacy and thus ‘fshaklngjhe plum tree
before the plums are ripe" is charged
by Judge James T. Hubbell, promin-
ent Norwalk lawyer in a written state-
ment as follows:
"William K. James who died in
Norwaik in 1877 gave to St. Paul's
church the sum of 810,000 which “as
to be held by the church in trust to
be invested and' re-inveStod as to
principal andinterest until‘it should
accumulate to the sun! of '880,000
when it was to be used by the church
for the building of anew stone church.
The church people are anlxous' to
build ‘at once‘and desire to anticipate
the principal of the sumslread'y uc-
cumulated although it has not reach.
ed the ”amount specified in Mt: Jamea’
will. and it is reported that overtuies
have been made to the James heirs-
at-law_ asking that they releasar their
interest in the legacy and its accumu-
lations. The 'ninth clause of the James
will reads:
"'Ninth. In case either of -he legi
ates herein named cr appointed Shall
in any ‘way attempt or undertake to
defeat this will or have the same set
aside or to avoid the provisions there-
of I will' that such legates than have
no part of my estate nor any l: onefit
themfrom. and that this will and. the
effect thereof shall be the same as
if the name or description of such is-
gatee‘ had been wholly omitted in this
will."
"Such clauses inwllls are called “in
terrorem"‘clauses find are designed to
prevent contests. The flaw in this
clause is that there is no gift over
which. as in the Oscar St. John case.
it was held mm the heirs-at.
law to inherit the heir and legatee
making a. contsst. The same slip oc-
cursLin the John Gerham will. The
widow of Mr. Jamesgave the residue
of her estate to the church the same
to be added to the~ James legacy
when it became ripe. As the James
legacy will amount to the sum men-
tioned in about two years. :ltris pm:

DRY MEN WATCH
THE WHIIE WAY
Read; y to Check My Undue
Celebration of Repeal
NEW YORK. June r-Declara-
tions that every state, county and
municipal enforcement official was
still bound to aid federal authorities
in enforcement of the Volstead act.
and that presecution of Mullah-Gage
law violators would continue. were the
greeting two New York state officials
gave last night to the- news that with
a stroke of his pen Governor Smith
had nullified New York’s prohibition
enforcement act.
The first assertion came from Pal-
mer Canneld. federal prohibition di-
lector for the state. who declared
'ihc state is still in the union" and
it was the duty of all its oflicisls to
”enforce the national prohibition act
to the same. extent and in the same
manner as any state law."
The 'second statement came from
District Attorney Joab H. Banton of
New York County. who said presents.-
tion of 1.200 cases of alleged state
law violations to the grand jury would
go on and that there would be no
161 upin the prosecution of those
already indicted. Later. of course, he
said. signing of the repealer would
lessen the work of his office.
Federal prohibition agents were sta-
tioned in Broadway's White Light cafe
district last night. Mr. Canfleld later
announced, to "check any undue
celebration of the repeal.
“I don't look for anything unusual
in Broadway." he said. “as most of
the large cafes are defindants in in-
Junction- proceedings or awaiting trial
and cannot take the chances. How-
ever. prohibition agents will be
abroad tonight as a. precautionary
measure. "
' William H. Anderson. state super—
intendent of the “anti-saloon league.
said he thought Governor Smith had
mado- a. mistake in not signing the
bill the moment it reached him with-
out going tin-Pugh the pretense of a
hearing." ‘
"Now that the state dry enforce-
‘ment law. which New York euloyed
for s. brief time. has been stripped
away. the people of New York will be
con‘m'elled to achieve for themselves
an enforcement program that will
stay ' pug". said 'Mr. _Anderson.

BOMBARD HIM WI'I'H MESAGE
Signing of Bill Killing Mullen-Gage Enforcement Act Cli‘
max of Battle That Was of Nationwide Interest—
“Wets” Jubilant, “Drys” Angry, but Hopeful
—The Governor’s Message.
ALBANY, June 2.—Governor Smith' is being deluged today with
letters of congratulation and of condemnation. The verbal battle
over the Guviller bill repealing the Mullen-Gage state MOW
law, signed by Governor Smith yesterday seems to grow louder. The
“wets” are cheering. the “dry!" are tailing angrily.
The ,slgning of the “repeater" by
Governor Smith brought to a citrus:
one of the hote‘ lights waged in this
state in many years over a legislat-
ive act.
Bitterly opposing opinions brought
into the conflict over the repulse
leaders in all walks of life. from
President Harding down to political
leaders in New York city and else-
where throughout the state.
President Harding had intimated
strongly that he would like to see the
repealer killed.
Governor Smith in his repeal more
sage said:
"The bill under consideration proc
poses to repeal Article 118 of the me
Ill law. which enacted into the statute
laws of the State substantially the
provisions of the Volstead act. .
"Because of the far reaching he
tel-est. in this bill displayed by all
classes of our people. I have shed
nearly one month» of solid and careful
thought to its final disposition. I been: ‘
wise to go into some detail is! order

the right. and“ the just have arrayed
themselves on different sides of the
question presented. 1
"Some seem to think that my ape
provai will mean the preservation of
American inst.itutions‘ Many others.
impelled by equally patrioticlm
seem to feel that my approval will be
destructive of American Government.
Obviously. both cannot be right sn'drI
have therefore given careful study’in
the arguments submitted. in aides!
that my final disposition of it may it

my conscience dictates.
Declaring the eighteenth amend»

the federal government in strict eli-

gave these thr things as the things
he hoped to accomplish by complsto‘
ing the repeal:
1—Guarantee all citizens a“
