AsToR A CITIZEN.
Made Executor OF Will Of John JaSob
Astor Even Though His Father Is
a British Subject.

NEW YORK. Oct. l1.-Surrogate
Thomas has appointed Waldorf Astor.
he young son Of William Waldorf Astor,
who has only recently attained his ma
jor1ty, as executor OF the viii Of the
original John Jacob Astor.
The will under which the young man
Is made an executor was made about
fifty years ago. One OF its provisions
is that whenever the surviving execu-
tors shall number no more than two.
by death or otherwise, those two shall
have the power OF naming. with the
sanction OF the courts, the third ex-
ecutor
About two months ago William Wal
dorf Astor and Charles Peabody. ir,
went before Surrogate Thomas and
stated that they were the only survlv-
ing executors Of the viii and that they
wished Waldorf AstoT 70 be named as
a c6-executor.
At the time the question Of young
AstOr's place Of residence and citizen
ship was raised. His father some time
ago forsworn allegiance to the United
States and became a subject Of the
queen Of England. This matter was
arranged by Mr.. Peabody making an
affidavit in which he alleged that the
young man was born in the United
States and that he had never taken any
steps to forswear allegiance to this
country and that. therefore, he was a
citizen and eligible TO the position as
executor. On the strength Of this atti-
davit the appointment was made. Sur
rogate Thomas thereby virtually decid-
ing that Waldorf Astor Is a citizen OF
this country. even though his father
is not and he has been educated abroad
and spent the greater number Of years
OF his life in England.

sTENoGRAPHER HEARD FROM,
Miss johnson Was Not Killed for HeI
Insurance.

CHICAGO. Oct. 1.-THE Tribune says
today:
Irene Spicer was the stenOgrapher
whose death took place suddenly on a
train bound for California. Officials
OF the detective agency who are prob
ing into the insurance plot think the
Spicer death came from natural causes.
In connection with the Splcer case
Superintendent SOule Of the detective
agency relates n strange story.
Miss Spicer. Il has been learned. was
not only a friend OF F. Wayland Brown.
but was also an intimate acquaintance
of Miss Defenbach. The two young
women were both about the same
height and weight. This likeness be-
tween the two young women Is be-
lieved to have been made use OF IN
getting life insurance upon Miss Spi-
Ger. as Il Is believed the young women
many time exchanged names In a lok-
ing manner each passing herself OF q
h. the other. Whether this Insurance
has been issued Will be Investigated to-
day.
Miss splcer. whose fate became link
ed with that OF Marie Defenbach, came
to Chicago six years ago from Albert
Lea. Mirn.
Miss Ethel Johnson. who had acted
as stenographer for F. Wayland brown
is not dead as has been reported. De-
tectives OF the central station have
located the girl at Lockport, Ind. where
she has been married 10 a Chicago
travelling man.

CLEVER DEFAULTER.
Bank Was systematically Robbed by
Its Young Bookkeeper.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Presldsnt
HeiCritter. OF the Elizabethport Bank
ing Company. which has been syste-
matically robbed. as alleged. by VIII
liam Schrelber. the missing young
bookkeeper, Is quoted by the Press as
saying:
II viii spend the last cent Of my pri-
vate fortune to put that boy behind the
bars. Wen never let up on him. Our
bank is in the Pinkerton combination
and we have set other detectives at
work with promise Of large rewards.
Personally / think Schneider is In
Europe and We shall soon catch him.
His pronounced stammering and his
dwarfsh size will make him noticeable
wherever he goes. Then toe we have
reason to believe he has only a small
supply Of money which he will soon
run through.
''As for Mrs. Hart, whatever property
