LONDON is INTERESTED
Discusses Prospect of James Bryce.s
appointment to American EN-
bassadOrship

LONDON. Dec. 14.-Parlia mentary
circles here show much interest in the
prospect of James Bryce's appointment
to the Embassadorship at Washington
and some of the Irish members asked
the Chief Secretary of Ireland il they
might congratulate him. Mr.. Bryce did
not deny the report, but merely re-
Piled: "You must not believe every
thing you hear"
Should Mr.. Bryce go to Washington,
1t is by no means certain that Winston
Spencer Churchill, now Under Secre-
tary for the Colonies, will take his
place in the Cabinet, as has been sug-
gested Thomas Shaw. the Lord
Advocate for Scotland, man of great
ability, Is said to be anxious to obtain
the Irish Chief Secretaryship. The fact
that filling the vacancy will involve a
bye-election favors the appointment of
Mr. Shaw, whose seat is safe, whereas
Churchill's seat at Manchester is now
regarded as far from secure.

MESSAGE ON SHIP
SUBSIDY BILL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-President
Roosevelt Will send a special message
to Congress after the holidays recon-
mending what he considers an ade-
quate and a necessary ship subsidy
bill. Members of Congress who have
called on the President to talk over
the matter of the subvention have
learned that he is not at all satisfied
with the subsidy plan of the House
leaders. AS a result OF Mr.. Roosevelt's
present determination to send in a
special message, there viii be no vote
in the House committee on merchant
marine on the subsidy bill before the
recess.
No decision as to the committee's S
attitude was reached at the caucus of
Republican members OF the committee
today. After discussing the amended
Gallinger bill the Republicans took no
action, but decided to call a meeting
of the committee on January z. when a
vote Of the entire committee will be
taken on the measure
The amendments to the bill drafted
by Representative Grosvenor eliminate
cargo subsidy and limit the Govern
ment's aid of mail-carrying ships to
South America and the Orient Even
with these changes the members of
the committee from the Middle West
do not favor the measure

half of the wealth left by the late
Mrs. Ellen NJ. Cotton, who was Mrs.
Sacher's grandmother was cabled from
Paris and received in Santa Cruz this
morning and is now in possession of
the court
Attorneys for Siegfried Sacher ad-
mitted last week that such docu-
ment was in existence. but stated that
it was in the possession of a notary
and that he was the only person who
had access to the instrument Mrs.
Martin Dahlgren's attorneys asked to
see the will and Banker Sacher con-
sented.
In the contested Cotton will Mrs
Cotton states that the reason for leav-
ing all of her wealth, except $1,000, to
Caroline Cotton, now Mrs. Dahlgren,
and her descendants is that the descend
ants of her other daughter, who was
Mrs Crittenden Thornton, had already
been provided for 1t is thought that
the purpose of the attorneys for the
proponents is to prove this statement
to be fact by Mrs. Sacher's will
The will of Mrs. Cotton executed
prior to the contested one is also in
the possession of the court. This will.
