RUSSELL SAGE
LEAVES ALL
TO WIFE
NOT ONE DOLLAR
GOES TO CHARITY
fortune Amounts To Sixty
Millions and Relatives Not
Remembered Already Pre-
pairing for Contest,

New York. July 25.-The World
tomorrow will say: Every dollar Of
Russell Sage's great fortune is left to
Mrs Sage by will made in 1901, ex-
cept an insignificant bequest made to
Mrs. Fannie Chaplin of oneida, n. Y,
an only sister, who died two years ago.
The will Is to be read at the home
of Mrs Sage at 632 Fifth avenue to-
day and will be offered for probate
Immediately. 1t will undoubtedly be
contested by the Troy relatives of Mr..
Sage who will charge that the 1901
will was made after a mental break
down on the part of Mr. Sage and
that Mrs. Sage exerted undue influence
over him in the distribution of his
wealth.
Not one dollar of the fortune is left
to charity. The only contribution Mr..
Sage ever made during his lifetime for
this purpose was when after years
solicitation by Mrs. Sage he contrib
uted $4,000 to build a wing of the
Presbyterian hospital, of which Mrs.
Sage was a vice president,
The fortune of Mrs Sage which is
popularly believed to be 100000, 900
and even thought to be greater by the
best informed financial men Of Wall
street, amounts to only about 60,000,-
900.

ter the body was lowered into the

any attempt be made to tamper with

will be greater than any sum ever

other uprising at Cananea in which
Colonel w. C.. Greene was alleged to

II wish to state through the Asso-

WILD TALES FROM
MEXICO EXAGGERATED

Mexico City, July 25.-The sensa-
tionally alarming stories of plots
against foreign residents on the part
of the working people of the country
telegraphed out from along the Amer
can border are largely based in false
reports or much distorted versions of
a threatened strike among factory OPP
eratives and other classes of working
men. These labor troubles, which are
similar to those occurring in other
countries, are being dealt with effec-
fectively by the government. The
government Is fully alive to the just
demands of the working classes, and
pursues a tranqullizlng policy where
ever labor troubles arise. The policy
of the authorities to bring work
ingmen and their employees into bet
ter relations whenever trouble arises
