Austria and France agreeing without
reserve to Germany's China proposal.
The Berliner Tageblatt in an inspir-

regret for the murder of Baron Won ket-
teller, it can be said that this can be ac-

Cambridge, Mass, Sept 2l.-Interest
was lent to the proceedings in the Hill
er will case in the probate court this
afternoon when the executors of the
two last wills of the eccentric Whining
ton woman testified as to how she
drew up the documents. f w, Kit
tredse had seen the will of 1898 execut-
ed and he filed it this morning. Mrs.
Hitler never told him she had drawn
up another will. She provided for a
bequest to Yale university because 1t
was the college that the witness had
attended. She thought that Harvard
had money enough, She also told the
witness that she had half million dol
lars.
Judge John c. Mcguire of Woburn
testified that he had drawn up the will
Of April, 1900 at the instance of Mrs
Hitler. Judge Mcguire said that an
inventory of the estate showed that
Mrs. Hitler owned about $4,000 worth
of property.
The copy of a third will, which was
drawn up in 1889, was offered as evil
Gence. In those documents Mrs. Hill
er provided for bequestS amounting TO
over 81 100000. Her tomb, she wrote,
must have on it a mahogany crocodile
