SEEKS TO SET ASIDE WILL

Of Late Ex-Vice-President Charles Warren Fairbanks. Mrs. Adelaide F. Timmons, daughter of former Vice-President C. W. Fairbanks of Indlanaipolls, has begun an action in the Marlon circuit court to set aside her father’s will, alleging that Mr. Fairbanks was of unsound mind at the time the will was drawn and that the instrument was drafted by her brothers, Fredrick and Warren Fairbanks, at a time when the father was not in condition to comprehend its provisions. It 'has been disclosed that Mr. Fairbanks was the owner of about three-fourths of the stock in the Indianapolis News, instead of Delavan Smith of Chicago, as was popularly supposed. This stock IS valued at $1,500,000. Believing that a little song before work is' a good thing, a dry goods company of Bridgeport, Conn., has arranged to have choral and community singing by its employes one-half hour before opening time every Thursday and Monday. The entire crew of workers will be assembled on the main floor, and, under the direction of skilled leaders, pour out a song of cheer.
