THE SAGE MILLIONS.
Heirs Expect Widow to Give Mors
Than Bequests

One of the lawyers representing the
nephews and nieces OF Russell Sage said
In New York yesterday that for the present
no objections would be made to the prooa-
ton of the will.
I'VE have sixty days In which to hie
notice of the contest" said the lawyer,
but we may not file it at ALL We can
wait until the will is probated, and them
after the nephews and nieces get the
s25 600 requests under the will. an action
can be brought in the supreme court to set
aside the will on the ground that at the
time 1t was executed Mr. Sage was not
IN mentally competent to make a will.
MY clients win not act until after the
will has been admitted to probate, and
even then they may not bring an action.
1t is believed that Mrs. Sage will hand
over to each of the nephews and nieces a
sum sufficient to satisfy them So far as
and my clients are concerned. our plan
now is delay. We will simply walt until
September p. the date set for the proba-
ton of the will, and them IL it is arranged
to give my clients a little more than the
win gives them, we will not interfere In
any manner or shape whatever. But IL we
do not get more than the $4,000 requests,
we will bring action in the supreme
court after the will has been admitted to
probate.
I'VE learned that the Sage fortune
amounts to about s76.0O0OO0. The fees of
the executors will be 1 per cent of that or
S760,0 The inheritance tax will be some
thing like $650.000, and the other expenses
of administering the will bring the total
amount to be deducted to about s2,OOO.O0O,
leaving net estate of about 1900, coo.
That would leave about $I3OOO,O0o for
the widow. 1t Is believed that she VIII
give each of the Sage relatives 100000 In
addition to what they will receive under
the will That would satisfy the majority
of them and would avert contest. Then
she would still have about $70,O00OOo to
distribute In any way she wished to dis
tribute it."
The attorney representing each nephew
and niece, 1t was said. would be qufzzed
as to what particular sum was wanted,
and then a settlement would be made
with each. In this way Mrs. Sage and
her advisers hope to avoid all court pro-
ceedings and distribute the estate quickly.
Then Mrs. Sage. it was said, would be-
gin her work of charity. Every hospital
in New York would get something, and a
large sum would go to the Young Mems
Christian Association. another to the Sal
walton Army and others to various col
leges. These are the plans to date
and II any legatee under the Sage Will
attempts to oppose them a bitter fight
will be made to prevent that person from
collecting one dollar from the estate.

plus funds held abroad
great many companies had TO read1ust
their finances to keep in solvent condition.
Most of those who were forced to do this
obtained additional funds by increasing
their capital stock, which was sold al a
heavy premium. Some made assessments
on their stockholders. few went out of
business. transferring their insurance to
other companies, but only very small
number failed outright, and they for the
most part were Insignificant concerns.

SUICIDE IN BALTIMORE.
Edward Henkelman Hanged Himself
Near Sweetheart's Home.

Edward Henkelman. twenty-three years
old, a coach painter, committed suicide
early yesterday morning by hanging him.
self from a rafter in shed adjoining the
stables of the Roland Park Company at
Roland Park, Baltimore.
Coroner Thomas E. Stanley summoned a
jury, with Mr. Benjamin u. Stanton as
foreman. which returned verdict of de-
liherate suicide.
The only motive for suicide suggested by
the young mans friends was his shortage
of cash for days outing which had been
planned with his fiancee and friends This
theory was based on the fact that but SO
in cash was found in his pockets.
A search of the room revealed the fact
that the hanging was probably the second
coat which had been worn by the suicide
were two empty Walls. both of which had
contained laudanum. 1t is supposed that
he took the laudanum before going out
The deliberate and careful manner in
which he prepared for suicide led some of
his friends TO believe that the bottles con-
tanned something else besides poison. He
had made moose of strap by putting one
end through a buckle ON the other end
Mounting trestle. he placed the end of
the strap between the rafter and the roof
and secured IL to the side OF the building
after placing his head through the OPEN
ing. He then stepped off the trestle. When
found his toes were within two inches of
the floor OF the shed.

tically gave up hope OF convincing Thaw
that 1t would be dangerous for him to
insist on going before a jury. Immedi-
ately after leaving the prison she sought

to continue to work for the defense, even
though her son had intrusted his case to

This nurse told the district attorney that
Evelyn Nesbit's mother called frequently

FAMILY SLAIN AND BURNED.
Posses Pursue Guilty Man, Who May
Be Lynched.

The wife and three children of Richard
Pierce, a wealthy farmer living near Ven
Ice, Washington county, Pa, were shot and
beaten to death yesterday afternoon by
negro farm laborer. After killing the fam
lily the negro set fire to the house and es-
capped. The house, with the bodies, was
consumed. Hundreds of farmers are now
searching the hills for the negro, and If
captured 1t is almost certain he will be
lynched.
Pierce left his family at home yesterday
afternoon with the farm laborer and went
to church, about half mile away from his
home. Just as the congregation was being
dismissed from the church smoke was seen
rising over the hill which told of fire. The
worshipers hurried to the Pierce home and
found 1t in flames 1t was some little time
little ones had been murdered and that
their bodies were in the burning building
A bloody ak in the yard was the first indi-
cation of the terrible crime which had been
committed.
Search was at once instituted for the
negro. 1t was learned he had been seen
going over the hills toward Pittsburg and
posses at once started after him. The
scene of the crime is In an isolated section
OF Washington county, and 1t was several
hours before the authorities of Washington
were notified.
The coroner and sheriff, with several Of
ficers. left at once on a special train. Ven-
ice is twenty EIGHT miles from Pittsburg
and the only way to reach the place last
night was by driving over a rough road.
Dozens of mounted police from Pittsburg
have been sent out to patrol the roads lead
Ing in from Washington county, while sew
eral city detectives have gone to Carnegie
and are tramping overland toward Venice
The citizen posses which have started
from Mcdonald, Carnegie, Bridgeville and

A suggestion has been made that William

When the trouble seemed greatest some
one suggested that Mr.. Bryan and Gov.

It might be interpreted that democracy had

KILLED, roR ALLEGED INSULT.
Fatal Sequel to Family Feud Over a
Marriage.


The sending of an objectionable postal
card Saturday to Mrs. Joseph L Adams. a
bride OF three weeks. was the cause of the
killing of Henry Schmitzler by her hus-
band Saturday night at Schmitxler's home.
Chester Park. N. Y. For some time there
has been enmity between Adams and the
Schmitzlers. who are Mrs. Adams cousins.
When the bride received the Objectionable
card. which contained reflections on her
character. her husband accused the
Schmitzlers of sending 1t.
Taking his revolver. he went to the
schmitzler home Saturday night and. peep
ing through the blinds of the sitting room
window at the side of the house, he saw
sitting around the table Mrs. Schmitxler,
her two sons. two daughters and a couple
OF friends After listening to their CONVEX
sation for few minutes Adams pulled open
the blinds. and. thrusting his revolver
through the window, he shouted: Now,
I've got you air.
George Schmitzler, brother of the young
man who was killed. shielding himself with
a. chair, rushd at Adams Adams did not
IRE. but ran into the street. The whole
Schmitzler family ran out of the house after
him. On the sidewalk Adams turned and
fired three shots. Two entered the top of
the. piazza in front of the house and the
third struck Henry Schmitzier just over
the heart. Henry was running after Adams
just behind his brother George
When Henry fell to the sidewalk the
chase was discontinued. He was carried into
the house and word was sent to st. Mary's
Hospital at Jamaica. The young man was
dead when the doctor arrived. He was
married June IS to Miss Margaret Wegnan.
Adams was held without bail on a charge
of homicide to await the decision of a cor
oner's jury. Adams Is twenty-one years of
age and a sign painter. Like the man he
shot, he is bridegroom OF only a few
weeks. His wife was Miss May Marshall,
