DOUBLE SUMS
Allowed the Heirs Of
Russell Sage by the
Widow and Contest Of
Will is Prevented.

New York, Sept. 21.-No protest to
the filing of the will of Russell Sage
was offered when the document was
presented at the surrogate's office to
day and at the same time there came
the announcement that Mrs. Sage had
decided to double the legacies of the
various next of kin mentioned In the
will. In the will an estate estimated
at about $7O,OOO0OO was disposed OF
and of this all went to the widow ex-
cept $66S000. Under the terms of the
widows agreement the 26 nephews
and nieces will get $4,000 each in
stead of $25,000, and the three heirs
who receive $6250 will get $12,500.
The general belief of those who figT-
ed in the case today was that there
would be no contest for the estate in
the end.
1t was said that the only possible
chance of a contest might be made
by some new alleged next of kin and
heirs at law of the testator and not
mentioned by him. These alleged
heirs assert that they are the direct
descendants of Sally Sage, sister of
the testator. 1t was not known that
Sally Sage left descendants.

RADIUM CURE
Its Use Becoming General in HospI-
tails of Austria.

Vienna, Sept. 2i.-A special hos
pital for the use of radium is to be
opened before long in Austria. For
months Joachimstarl mines have been
sending uranium ore to the Auer light
works here, amounting to 10000
pounds, which has been treated by
chemical experts The result has
been the acquisition of some $780,,
900 worth of pure radium, which will
be given to various hospitals and
scientific laboratories. The Physical
Institute of Vienna, in view of this
experiment, proposes to set up a
laboratory at the Joachimsthal mines
for manufacture of radium salts
From this has sprung the idea that
the radioactive springs which abound
in the mines might be used for drink
ing purposes. Samples of the water
are undergoing analysis in Vienna
and il the results come up to expecta-
tions, bath establishment probably
will be Immediately called into ex-
istence.

TWELVE DEAD
IN EXPLOSION
Two Hundred Also In

Go-Property Damage
at a Half MiIIion-Two
Causes for Accident.

Jellico. Tenn, Sept. 21.-Twelve
deaths and injury to 200 persons was
caused here today when carload Of
dynamite standing on a siding near
the depot of the Southern Railway
co-lpany, exploded with a report that
was heard for twenty miles.
Buildings we're shattered in the bus
mess section of the town and nearly
every piece of glass within radius
of one mile was broken The prop
erty damage is placed at $500O00.
Some estimates made tonight of the
loss of life increase the number of
there ARD not over two or three more
than the twelve accounted for. There
is bare possibility that other bod
les may be recovered from the ruins
of buildings.
Two causes are assigned for the ex-
plosion. One is that three men were
shooting at a mark on the car and
that bullet entered the car and caus-
the explosion. The other is that while
the car was standing on sidetrack
q carload of pig iron was switched
against it, the impact causing the ex-
plosion. Business houses were badly
disf1gured and the stocks of goods
ruined while residences suffered Sc
verely, windows and doors being
blown out in houses a mile away.
Among the building destroyed were
the warehouse of the Armour Pack
Ing company, the Jung Brewing COM
pany, and the Standard Oil company
Many people are homeless and, as al
most every chimney was destroyed,
cooking cannot be done in many of
the houses.

LIE NAILED
State Committeeman De-
nies That Bryan Was
Not Wanted to Speak
or in Ohio.

1870 Akron Times: Every word of it
i is lie" said Mr.. L. c. Koplin, mem
Der of the Democratic State Execu-
tive committee, discussing a Colum.
bus dispatch printed in the Cleveland
Leader to the effect that at Mondays
meeting of the state committee Chair
man CARRIER and some of the Demo
cratic candidates for state offices had
advised against Mr.. Bryan's being in
Vited TO speak in Ohio in the fall
campaign.
'Mr. CARRIER and every committee
man and candidate present at the
meeting were warmly in favor of
having Mr. Bryan come into the
state continued Mr.. Koplin. THE
suggestion that anybody would try
to censor what Mr. Bryan would have
10 say, knowing his repute for inde-
pendence Of thought, is too ridicu-
lous TO deserve attention. The fake
story from Columbus only serves to
show that the Cleveland Leader is
resOrt!ng TO its ancient practices Of
manufacturing lies and distorting the
truth for the purpose of aiding ma
chine politics in Ohio Such a policy
will injure no one but the Leader.
1t win certainly not fool the people" :"
To "A representative of the Times
Prof Haupert of Wooster, the Dem
ocratiC nominee for state school COM
missioner, said that the acceptance
by Mr.. Bryan Of the state commit
tees invitation to speak in Ohio is
highly gratifying to the candidates
as we'll as the committee. He said that
the committee would not invite Mr..
Bryan to speak in Ohio and then
undertake to supply him with a set
of opinions to use in his speeches,
as the Cleveland Leader undertakes
to make its readers believe.
