Brook Tront Form Soviet To Battle Water Snakes Simsbury, Not Far From Winsted, Conn., Sees Re? markable Conflicts Special Dispatch to The Tribune WINSTED, Conn., Aug. 27.?The trout of Simsbury have united to defend themselves from the attacks of water snakes, according to E.

Mr. Brown his sons, Edward and Stanley, and Raymond Baglin, of Hart? ford, were walking along the bank of a trout stream on Carl Brown's farm, which is under lease to Senator George McLean, when they saw a commotion in the water. A water snake had clamped its jaws on a trout just behind the dorsal fin and in turn was being attacked by at least a score of other trout, who sought to rescue their fellow. Mr. Baglin thrust a stick into the midst of the turmoil and flipped the snake and its victim ashore. The snake was forty two inches long and th?rMrout eight. The snake was killed and the trout re? turned to the stream. A few rods beyond the party came upon another fight of the same char? acter and settled it -in the same man? ner. Both trout darted away, appa? rently unhurt, when they were put back in the water.

Such a jumble of names? Annie, Angelina, Tessio and Rosie! Such a jumble of nationnlities! "I put my foot in it twice yesterday while making up my report of nation? alities. To three sisters, black-haired, black-eyed and brown of skin, I said, You all are little Italians, aren't you?' The most supercilious of the de Medi?is had nothing on the eldest of the three for'dignity, as she drew nersclf up and jred at me, 'Irish descent, if you please!' "The next two seemed to look upon my data collecting as a sort o' court martial, to-be-shot-nt-sunrise proceed? ing, for their replies came weepingly, especially the one to my query as to nationality: 'We're only (sniffle, snuf? fle) Christian Americans.* "But the 'Irish descent, if you please!' the Christian Americans, the Italians, the Jews, Poles and Serbians all play together, eat together, laugh together and get brown, fat and rosy '.ogether in?almost?perfect amity dur? ing the two weeks of their stay here. "After dinner to-day it was hot and lazy; so lively games were taboo. I gathered my twenty-five little women about me on the veranda to talk and tell stories. After a few stories I started them telling what they wanted to be when they 'growed up.' Their ambitions arc various. "One wants to be a dressmaker and make dresses with pink beads on 'em, 'cause, as she says, 'I love pink beads.' One wants to be like Miss Duane?a vague ambition. I'll say, for Hermi's like myself and hasn't definitely de? cided on a career yet. "Another aims to be 'a school teacher like Miss Thatcher.' And still another wants to 'be like Miss Hokenson, an' git married like rhe's gonna.' "AIbr! poor old Felicia from Vir ginny hasn't any imitators. But I've made good* with one of my cherubim (are cherubim male or female?). When, last of all, it came Margaret's turn, she said to me, 'I wanta work in a store an' sell gloves; and if you'd come with all the money in the work! ?>; your pocketbook I'd make you pu1 it all back and I'd give you a paii for nothin'.

'Now open your mouth wide,' I'd say, 'and count. One, two, three, four. Shout it! Louder!* "Then I'd tell her to shout 'Hello!' and 'good morning' and a lot more stuff of the same kind. And after three or four days of it she actually came to look forward to her moxning drill. She is getting so now that she isn't afraid of the sound of her own voice.

Women and Business Impress Crown Prince Carol Rumanian Heir Says Jazz Music Lacks Harmony; Host to 30 New Yorkers at Lunch; Last Day Here Crown Prince Carol of Rumania, passing his last day in New York, en? tertained thirty New Yorkers at lunch? eon in the ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria yesterday. In the evening the prince was entertained at dinner by the American Rumanian Relief Society at the home of William Nelson Crom? well, chairman of the society, at 12 West Forty-ninth Street. The prince discussed American relief in his coun? try. At the Waldorf luncheon those pres? ent included James W. Gerard, Mr. Cromwell, Abram I. Elkus, Colonel W. Anderson, Major Charles E. Spratt and James A. Mills. The prince told newspaper men after the luncheon that his main impres? sion of American life was business. He said business appeared to be para-? mount to everything else. "The un- i usual charm and beauty of American women" was another thing he could not help noticing, the royal visitor ad? mitted. "Reconstruction in my country is proceeding rapidly," said Prince Carol. "Railroad re-construction is being held up because of lack of material.': The prince plans to institute in Rumania some of the child welfare organizations operating in this coun? try. They have been unknown there. Jazz music failed to meet the ap? proval of the Rumanian heir. In his opinion it lacked harmony. He said he favored Eastern American news? papers over those of the West, as the Western papers printed more scandal than the Eastern papers. Walker Silent on Plan in $50,000,000 Will Suit Heir to Searles Estate Will Re? sist Contest by Decedent's ?Nephew, It Is Understood Although it has been generally under? stood that Arthur T. Walker intended to resist any contest of the will by which he fell heir to most of the $50, 000,000 estate of his former employer, Edward F. Searles, he refused yester? day to tell his plans concerning a suit which Albert Victor Searles, of Boston, a nephew of the testator, has filed in a Salem court to annul the will. Lewis L. Delafield, co-executor of the j estate with Walker, also refused to dis I cuss the action brought by Albert Vic j tor Searles. The latter is said to have j the support of other relatives of the decedent in undertaking the action. Under the will, which the plaintiff j alleges is illegal, he would have in ' herited $250,000. The first hearing in ! his suit is to be September 7 in Salem. j Guy W. Currier, the attorney who filed ? the papers in the case, has said that he ! intended to make every effort to have : the action tried before a jury. The allegation that the will is illegal is based upon lack of information con ; cerning the intentions and desires of ; the testator, except that expressed in ! the will, which, left most of his for ! tune to the man whom he employed as | business manager, U.

Nat Goodwin Left But $6,895 Assets; Debts Were $15,000 Actor's Father, Who Acted as Administrator of Son's Estate, Files Report; Calls Mining Shares Worthless Nathaniel C. Goodwin, of Roxbury, Mass., filed his accounting in the Sur? rogates' Court yesterday as admin? istrator of the insolvent estate of his son, Nat C. Goodwin, the actor. The accounting shows that Nat Goodwin, who for many years had been rated as a rich man with large Western mining interests, left assets valued at 16,895, with debts amounting to nearly $15,000. The expenses of administra? tion were $3,132. This left only $3,763 for distribution among the creditors, who included a dozen phys? icians and a couple of hotels. Some of the debts owed by Nat Goodwin were: John Wanamaker, $108 for a piano for Mrs. Margaret Moreland; Lambs Club, $274 for dues and sun? dries; Hotel Breakers, Atlantic City, $156 for service to Miss Gardner; Hotel Claridge, $431. Adolph Marks, of Chicago, filed a claim for $900 for legal expenses, which Mr. Goodwin sr. said he rejected. Nat Goodwin had in bank $5,726. Tho furnishings of an apartment at 601 West 115th Street were appraised at $3,263. These were claimed by Miss Georgia Gardner, now living at tins Hotel Pennsylvania, who based her claim on a letter by Goodwin, giving her the furnishings. At the time of the actor's death it was said that he contemplated making Miss Gardner his sixth wife. Mr. Goodwin reported that he had sold for- $230 wines that be? longed to the estate of his son. Nat Goodwin, for many years in? terested in mining properties, still held a large number of shares, but his father and administrator appraised as of no value 278,998 shares in the Kodiak Gold Mining Company, and 1,000 shares in the Beaver Head Hydraulic Mining Company. In this list there were also ten $1,000 gold bonds of the Smith Utah Mines and Smelter Company and twenty shares Hampton Road Hotel Company. ? Suitcase in Jersey Park Givse New Murder dew Police Investigating Mystery o? Stained Clothing Discov? ered in Harrison The police of Harrison, N. J., an? nounced yesterday the discovery of a suitcase containing bloodstained cloth? ing. They think that the stains indi? cate murder and are not certain whether the clothing constitutes a clew in the mystery of the woman's torso found off Jersey Cityor whether there has been another murder, the victim of which has not been discovered. The suitcase was picked up Thurs? day in West Hudson Park, Harrison. Park employees said that it had been there for almost a week, no one think? ing it worth while to investigate the battered object. It was near the tracks of the Erie Railroad. Its contents consisted of a woman's clothing of a cheap sort and the uni? form coat of an A. D. T. messenger. Stains on both led to the belief that a body, still bleeding, had been car? ried on the shoulder of the person who wore the coat. There was a man's name in the coat, and through this and the label the police hope to trace it. -?a Milk Price To Be Raised | Grade B Quarts To Be One or Two Cents More j The Borden Farm Products Companj ! am! the Sheffield Farms Company, Inc. announced yesterday that the price o: Grade B milk would go up a cent ? quart, and maybe two cents, next month.

Eugene Meyer Jr. Urges Extension Of Postal Savings Tells Senate Reconstruction Committee Interest Rate Should Be Raised to 4% ; Would FosterThrift Spirit Addressing the Senate Special Com? mittee on Reconstruction and Produc? tion here yesterday, Eugene Meyer jr., former managing director of the War ; Finance Corporation, urged the exten? sion of the postal savings system at an attractiw rate, of interest, in order to furnish "banking facilities to the I great body of common people." The financier advised amending ex 1 isting legislation so as to authorize ! I payment of a 4 per cent rate of in-j I terest on postal savings deposits, in- | stead of the 2 per cent now offered. He ] also advocated increasing the number of postoffices authorized to accept postal savings from 6,500 to all the 65,000 now in the service. Could Pay Floating Debt Within a year, Mr. Meyer said, these offices would receive deposits sufficiont to pay off the floating indebtedness of the United States government. He gave Nt as his opinion that deposits could be increased to such an extent that they would cover a large part, if j not all, of the Victory Loan maturing ! in 1923,- amounting to more than $4, I 000,000,000. The taking up of Treasury certifl j cates by postal savings would relieve the banks of the burden the govern ' ment imposed on them during and since the war and would permit the in ; stitutions to use all of their available | funds for business purposes, Mr. Meyer said. % In addition to improving the posi? tion of the Federal Reserve banks, the redemption of certificates would bring about, he said, a rise in Liberty jonds of from 5 to 10 per cent. Another result expected by Mr. : Meyer from the extension of the pos? tal savings system at a more attrac? tive rate was the bringing forth of at : least $250,000,000 in coin and currency ! now being hoarded. This money, he 1 said, would be restored to circulation. ! The raising of the rate of interest on postal savings would, Mr. Meyer i explained, mean the saving of large : amounts of money that would other ; wise be invested in "wildcat" schemes or turned over to unscrupulous promo? ters. A low estimate of this saving ! would be $200,000,000 a year, he said. $500,000,000 Saved Mr. Meyer also estimated that from $300,000,000 to $500,000,000 a year would be saved as a result of the spirit of thrift the extended postal savings system would inculcate. "Every man, woman and child, for eigrl and native," Mr. Meyer said, "has" contact with the government through the postoffice, both at home and in business, and if he becomes a depos? itor, with his government. as his ban?cer, he is bound to take a greater interest in his country and its affairs. He will be more patriotic and become a better American. The extension ox the postal savings system ?3 the very best method of spreading Americaniza? tion to our foreign population." The financier asked the committee to consider the proposal favorably and recommended a series of hearings on the subject from all parties interested, including officials/ of the Postoffice De? partment, the Treasury, the Federal Reserve Board, savings banks, finan? ciers and economists and representa? tives of industrial, labor and farm or? ganizations. Vanderbilt's 2 Sons Are Chief Heirs (Continued fr?m ???? tnel Newport, the latter residence now owned by Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, first wife of Mr. Vanderbilt, who divorced him, Mr. Vanderbilt leaves them* to the son who may become the owner of Marble House at the death of his mother, Mrs. Belmont.
