 New York. Jan. 1.-The will of Charles T. Yerkes will be read to his family tomorrow afternoon. Clarence S. Knight of Chicago. who was Mir. Yerkes's legal adviser, and who drew up the will. arrived here yesterday. Mfr. Knight would not discuss the general provisions of the will. but said:
 "Mr. aYerkes has left his house at Fifth Avenue and Sixty-eighth Street, with it's immensely valuable contents, so that the Metropolitan Museum of Art will control the property. The pictures and other objects. however, will remain where they are, the mu~ scum having the control and direction. and the collection will be called The Yerkes collection,
 Mir Knight thought the value of the house and the contents had not been under r-estimated. It is believed they gre worth nearly $5.o00,00o. Mir; Knight was asked If there was any likelihood of the will being contested. He said:
 T am sure there will be no litiga- tion. Just at this time I cannot say anything further. but I don't appre- hend any trouble of that sort"
 Mir. Knight went directly to tho Yerkes home at s64 Fifth avenue. He had long talk with Mrs. Yerkes and Charles r. Yerkes, in which it was dss.' cided that the will should be read to- morrow afternoon. rather than this afternoon.

 Nixon walked from Pensacola to Cantonment, Il distance of about twenty miles, and there bought q ticket to New Orleans. On the way there he stopped to purchase some food and was recognized by the storekeeper and asked what he was doing there. His excuse was that he had become sep arated from a party of friends who were out hurting.
 At Cantonment he waited for the midnight train and secured a seat in the smoker where he was noticed by but few. He changed cars at Flomaton and went to New Orleans.
 It is supposed that he is heading for Mexico and the officers here are using every endeavor to head him off before he can reach there. Nixon is suppposd to have secured over $500, but the amount cannot be estimated until the entire stock Is checked up, which is being done. It was thought here that he was worth considerable money, but 1t is stated that he had been playing the stock market heavy for several weeks.
