an annuity of $4,000 during the next
twenty years each OF the five princi-
pal heirs will receive at once $4,000, 600
in cash and securities
Furthermore 1t became known that
before the will was filed each of the
heirs secured title to a fifth part Of
the estate. The property was allotted
in equal shares to the widow and the
children in binding agreements signed
by the executors Of the estate. When
the trust arrangement had thus been
wiped out the will was filed.
Family Settles Own Dispute.
Ever since Nelson Morris died nearly
two months ago a strenuous, though
friendly, debate over his will had been
going on in the family. One side,
seeking to abrogate the trust plan I'M
der which they would not have come
into their inheritance for from fifteen
to twenty years. were ranged the
widow and three of the children-Mrs.
Maurice l. Rothschild Mrs Henry c.
Schwab and Ira Nelson Morris. On the
other side, seeking to carry out the
provisions of the will under which he
would have been in control Of the es-
tate stood Edward Morris, the eldest
son and the present head of the Nor
ris packing corporations 1t was sim
ply a case of divergence of opinion.
The argument over the disposition
of the packers millions reached a
point where lawyers were retained by
the opposing factions in the family and
a long drawn out legal contest was
threatened Finally Edward Morris
met the views of the rest of the fam
lily and an amicable agreement setting
aside the trust plan and providing for
an immediate division of the property
was signed by all the heirs. The bust
ness, however, will be continued as at
preset with Edward in control
Division of the Estate.
In a statement to the court the ex-
ecutors gave the value of the estate
at about $4,000, 900 Of which $4,000
900 is personal property. 1t is stated,
however on the best authority, that
the estate in reality is worth more
present with Edward in control.

MIGHT LOSE THE COUNT
Newport Has Rumor That
Vanderbilt's Quarry
Almost Escaped.

Newport, R. l., Oct 1.-THE air
about Newport is fun tonight of stories
about the reconciliation of Mrs. Van
derbilt and her daughterin-law. Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., and of dis
agreement between Miss Gladys Van
derbilt and Count Szechenyi and the
possibility that the engagement has
been broken.
Coupled with the latter story is the
report of the opposition of several
members of the Vanderbilt family to
the marriage of Miss Gladys to a for
eigner. Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney being the most vigorous OBJ
jectors to the alliance. While it is
impossible to verify these stories by
inquiries at the Vanderbilt villa, there
is apparently good grounds for belief
that they are in measure correct.
Story as to Reconciliation.
The story of the supposed reconcilia-
ton, as near as can be ascertained, is
as follows: Mrs. Vanderbilt invited
Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr.
to Saturday nights dinner at the
Breakers In honor of the engagement.
Mr.. Vanderbilt yielded to his mothers
wishes and those of his sister and ac-
cepted the invitation: but Mrs. Wander
biIt decided she could not attend. She
is said to have made this decision on
the grounds that the elder Mrs. Van
derbilt had never called upon her since
her marriage and that she did not feel
as If she could go to the Breakers I'M
til her mother-in-law called upon her.
She therefore declined the invitation
to the Breakers dinner. but arranged
a luncheon for Sunday at Beaulieu. to
which Mrs. Vanderbilt senior was in
tress of the Breakers to take the first
step which her daughter-in-law wished
her to make.
The luncheon was held at Beaulieu
and Mrs. Vanderbilt was present. Thus
the ice was broken. Mrs. Vanderbilt
jr. had succeeded in having hel
mother-in-law come to her house. fol
Mrs Vanderbilt, jr., had remained
steadfast in her determination, and the
victory at last was given the younger
Vanderbilt family. This apparently
settles the difficulty between these two
branches of the family, but there /:
| still a lack of harmony, to say the
least, between the two brothers, Cor.
nelius and Alfred.
! Cornelius Not at Dinner.
| Sunday evening Mrs. Alfred G. Van
derbilt gave a dinner in honor of Mis-
Gladys Vanderbilt's engagement. blu
neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt was present.

Westcott of Standard Oil
Tells of Company's Pur-
chase of Independents.

New York. Oct. 14.-Hampton G.
Westeott, vice president of the Stand
are Oil company at Kentucky, was
asked at todays session of the Standard
Oil inquiry before Referee Ferris to
give in detail the transactions his com

been asserted the Independents were
secretly bought up by the Standard
subcompany yet allowed to continue
doing business under the guise of in

dozen companies in which his company
had acquired an interest but which had
continued doing a professedly independ-

TO BLOCK TAFT PLAN
Foes in Committee Object to
Awaiting Return-Op-
position Determined.

Washington, D. c.. Oct 14-Those
ardent supporters of the candidacy of
Secretary Taft who have planned that
the republican national committee shall
postpone the selection of the place and
date of the convention until after Taft
returns from his trip around the world
have rough sailing ahead.
A determined opposition to Taft has
developed in the committee. and Sec
rotary Cortelyou. until recently its
chairman. is said to be anything but
displeased by it.
VIII Plan to Block Taft Men.
Elmer Dover. secretary of the com
mittee. and Harry S. New, its acting
chairman. are said to be in close touch
with Cortelyou, and when these three
meet here within a week definite steps
will be taken toward blocking the
scheme of the Taft men. Dover has
taken rooms at the New Willard and
was very busy today receiving anti
Taft men. New will arrive in a few
days and other members are expected
to drop in. The purpose is to make all
arrangements for the convention be-
fore Tart gets back.
Taft is apparently the avowed ad-
ministration candidate, but his friends
would like a little more practical sup
port from the White House than has
yet been given. Indeed, there are re
publican wiseacres here who pretend
to believe that by the time the conven-
ton comes around Roosevelt will no
be a Taft man at all
War Horses Against Taft.

mer Governor Franklin Murphy of New
York, Senator Scott of West Virginia
and former Congressman Babcock o
Wisconsin, political war horses, ar
against Taft first and last. The onl!
two delegates instructed thus far ar
from Michigan and they must vot

good start for the administrator
forces. sc
If the anti-Taft plan is adopted thu
national committee will meet her
about Dec. 10.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 14.-Presi-

for action, all claims of American citi-
zens against Venezuela which have
been pending for years.
Although the American minister at
Caracas and Special Commissioner Cal
houn have been very active in press
ing for a settlement they have made
little progress.
III feeling in official circles against
Venezuela has increased greatly as the
result of the bitter correspondence be
tween William H. Russell, the Ameri-
can minister and DIR. Jose Paul, the
Venezuelan minister of foreign affairs,
who has refused TO grant a revision
of the mixed commission of 1903 in
the case of the Orinocco Steamship
company, which has a claim against
Venezuela.

The legislature of Idaho has by an al
most unanimous vote, made provision
for the payment of all the deficiency
warrants issued by the state admin
stration to cover the expenses incurred
in securing the arrest of the persons
indicted by a Canyon county grand
jury, charged with being implicated III
the assassination of former Governor
Steunenberg. By this action the state
has formally assumed the expenses of
that trial On account Of the import
ance che case has assumed through po-
litical agitation and such demonstra-
tions as have been made by socialistic
agitators and by anarchists in many
cities and the immense defense fund
which has been raised, and the pronun-
ciors and threats issued by Debs and

per, that in defense of the fair name of
the state for the maintenance of law
and order, that the burden of this most
important trial ever coming up in the
state should be borne by all her fair
minded people, and that the trial should
be fairly had and conducted, and if the
men charged with the awful crime if
not fairly and conclusively proven
guilty, should be acquitted.
This is what every fair-minded citi-
zen should desire and demand. People
should not be swept off their feet by
the cries raised either for or against
the accused, but should consider this a
country where law and order must and
shall prevail.

Since completing the upfaise, week
ago, connecting the crosscut tunnel
with the Webster drift, the miners have
been timbering, preparatory to starting
a drift south from the tunnel level, and
changing the airpipe to carry the bad
air from the end of the crosscut tunnel
SO that it may be continued further
west. More rails have been procured
and another car, but the snow has been
too soft to have them taken up the
mountain at present. Another shift of
men has been put on. Work will be
pushed on the drift south from the tun-
mel level, and will be started as soon as
practicable to drive the tunnel further

About 10 years ago, he fell on the ice
at DeLamar, and dislocated his hip

He was placed in the poorhouse, but
instead of remaining there, would come
