ALAN WOODS
WILL PROBATED.
HE LEAVES oNE.NINTH OF HIS
ENTIRE PROPERTY TO HIS
cHoRus-olRL WIFE.

NEW YORK. August 1.-THE will
OF Alan W. Wood, the Pittsburg mill
llonalre, was fled for probate to-day.
The value of the real property is Civ.
en- as $4,000. but the extent OF the
personal estate is not stated. II Is
said II ranges from So 100000 to S.,
100000, The small value OF the real
property makes 1t almost certain that
there will be no contest. There has
been talk that Mrs. Wood. who was
Goldie Lillian Mohr, former chorus
girl. would go to court and ask for
her dover right. In the will she Ii
given a ninth portion of all the prop
erty, real and personal. and It has
been asserted that Mrs. Wood would
insist upon receiving one.third. her
dover right Under the laws of New
York State, the widow is entitled to
one.third of the real property only,
and has no legal right to any of the
personal property. 1t can be readily
seen, in view OF the small value OF the
real property, that Mrs. Wood is not
likely to contest. especially as the
win specifically provides that in case
she contests she will forfeit the share
allowed her by Che will. The will Is
short: is dated January IS, 1905 and
names Richard Gilpin Wood, of Phil.

trustees. II directs that the trustees
convert into cash as soon as can be
done without sacrifice. all the real and
personal property and to divide II into
nine equal parts and distribute It as
follows:
ITO my wife, G, Lillian Wood, one
of the said portions which shall be
paid and received by her in lieu OF
dover and all other rights and inter
ests in my estate"
The other eight portions are given
one portion to each child OF the de
ceased's former wife. A paragraph
of the document says; 81 direct that
If my said wife shall decline to &C

BOYCOTT DUE TO
OUR oIscoURTEsY.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1S.-Mr,
J. w. Davidson, acting consul general
at Shanghai, who arrived from the
Orient on the Mongolia, says that the
cause of the Chinese boycott is the
discourteous treatment which the sons
of influential Chinese officials have re-
ceived at the hands of immigration
officials on landing at San Francisco.
These boys" he said, have been
brought up with the punctilous refine
ment of young ladies' seminary. On
their arrival in America they are sent
to the detention sheds to herd with
coolies. Their fathers are scandalized
by the stories they tell Of their well
come to America, and the boycott is
due TO this lack of tact on our part
Recently sons Of the viceroy class
have been going abroad to study, and
II would have been to our advantage
to treat them with some Difference
and show of attention and respect.
In Belgium they have been feted on
their arrival and shown marked cour-
tesy. In their hands will be the fu-
ture of Oriental trade"
Mr.. Davidson thought that the fact
that orders had already been placed
for six months ahead for delivery Of
American goods would prevent the
boycott from being successful, but he
admitted that a popular anti.foreIgn
feeling might be aroused which would
carry the fight beyond control and
result in serious consequences.

something to do with the outcome of

heavily in debt nor a nation in the
same condition is absolutely master of
any serious situation.
Professor Milyoukof, until last
March a professor in the University
Of Chicago, has been arrested in st.
Petersburg ON the charge OF conspir-
ing against the Russian government.
His specific offence is writing an ar

seems little likelihood of successful
termination OF the Peace Commits

Ii is said however that the Car has
receded from his position of abso-

OF indemnity, and has asked for new
proposals from Japan.
Only two Of the st. Petersburg
newspapers, il is said, speak Of the
new Russian assembly project with
any enthusiasm. Others, while half
heartedly admitting that il makes
