Patton & Patton. Miss Brandt's at torneys, who appeared before Commis sioner Hugh O'Neill m Chicago when the witnesses were examined there. believe that the testimony proves tneir contention that William Ziegler re peatedly promised to make Miss umH. o inin heir with her brother. William Conrad Brandt, who changed his name to William Ziegler. jr- a"sr he had been adopted. The plaintiff's attorneys also are satisfied- with the testimony as support ing their contention that Miss Brandt s rights were not protected when she consented to have her adoption by her uncle abrogated. The testimony shows that she consented as the result ci continued pleading by her father. George W. Brandt, who died Dec. 17 last, less than two weeks before he wa to have appeared before Commis sioner O'Neill to testify in her behalf. Her mother. Mrs. Anna Huttig Brandt, who had been divorced from her father shortly before she and her brother William were adopted by the hibinr nou-rier manufacturer, did not consent to the abrogation of the adop tion, and this is one of the grounds on which Miss Brandt claim she is en titled to half the estate which went to her brother under the Ziegler will. The witnesses examined In Chicago were the late William Ziegler' two half aistera. Emma (". and. Clara L. Brandt, both of Davenport, Iowa, and Dr. Vincent J. Price, whose baking powder recipes made Mr. Ziegler rich. The testimony or the two sisters es pecially reveal many interesting side light on the life of Mr. Ziegler. Emma C. Brandt testified that she heard Mr, Ziegler say on a number of occasions that he w8 going to make the children his heirs. Dr. Price, who is now 81 years old, testified that for about 10 years after 1890 he lunched with Mr. Ziegler fre quently and on one occasion, when he was telling about the money he was making. Dr. Price said, "Why haven't you any heirs? What are you going to do with a";l your money? "Mr. Ziegler replied that he had se lected a couple of youngsters whom he was going to make his heirs. Then 1 was told ihat these were Afr. Brandfa children. Mr. Ziegler told me he was very fond of the young lady, Florence, but I never' heard him speak of the yong man at all. He told me he was going to adopt them both and make them his heirs." STATEMEETiNGS HERE DISCUSSED Arrangements Made for Hu mane Society Convention Which Comes May 7.

"Bunty" is i still running at the Haymarket thea tre in Iondon to enormous business, and also played in New York for over 15 months. "Bunty" is a Scotch lassie 'whnse title as manageress should be written out in capital letters.. She manages everybody ana-everyiumg in the play without their knowing it. arid to their utmost advantage. "Bunty" saves her father from an over-crinolined, acid-faced spinster who intends to "hook"' him, and marries him to an old love of his early youth. She also marries herself to the young man of her choice; saves her brother Rab from a hard lot, and arranges his love afTalrs. In fact, "Bunty Pulls the Strings" so gently and satisfactorily that all the characters in the play are overwhelmed with delight at her suc- I cessful efforts. A return engagement of "Peg o' My Heart." bv J. Hartley Manuers, will j be the attraction at the Illinois Sun- dnv matinee and night, with lorence Martin in the leading role of the Irish , lassie whose wlt.and charm is so en- j thralling. The story of the play, which has been running continuously in New York for considerably over a year, has to do with the girl's introduction into a snobbish and aristocratic English family, and the ensuing complications furnish the material for the laughter and tears. Oliver Morosco has provid ed a lavish production. Including Isa bel Vernon, Colin Campbell, Maude Al len, Fred I Tiden. Xella Horen. Pell Trenton, John Lyons.
