BROKER REMAINS
 IN THE TONES

Especial from United Press.)
 New York, Aug. 13.-Donald l.. Persch, note broker, charged with the theft of s110,000 worth of stock of the F. Augustus Heinze Company, posted to secure a $50, 900 loan, will have to remain in the Tombs. unless friends come forward to bail him out in the sum of $5O,000. Justice Lieman today dismissed the second writ of habeas corpus brought by the broker and re- manded him to the Tombs in default of bond.
 The first writ was refused because the writ was defective. but this pres ent warrant is held to be legal. The Grand Jury is today making a close investigation into the connection of the officers of the Windsor Trust Company with the Heinze collateral. Before the Grand Jury began its inquiry today a number of the jurors called Assistant District Attorney Mott into conference and asked him questions concerning the deal.
 M. M. Joyce, the prosecuting witness, today declared that the Grand Jury knew but little about Persch. It de- veloped today that w. L. Clarke. ar rested last night as Persch's accom- plice, has been advertising himself for a long while as a financial agent of Charles Katz, a wealthy broker who has been prominently mentioned in this case. He is said to have devoted most of his attention to churches, of fering to lend money at 31 1-2 per cent. in church realty.

Special from United Press,

Special from United Press.)

MUST FILE
 REQUESTS Judge Nobbs Orders Secret Memorandum Named In
 Sterling Will Filed EXECUTOR MARSH
 WILL OBEY ORDER Widow and Children of Phil anthropist Much Opposed to the Publicity
Charitable Society, South Church, Y. M 0. A., Boys Club and Burroughs
 Home Named

Judge Edward P. Hobbs has de- cided that the memorandum of be- quests to charitable institutions left by the late Deacon Edward Sterling with Deacon E. w. Marsh, executor of his will, must be filed in probate court. MT. Marsh, who. is also president of the Peoples National Bank, said, when seen by Farmer Reporter to- day, that it had been the wish of Deacon Sterling to have the mem orandum remain secret as to its con- tents and that he had differed with Judge Nobbs in the matter.
 MT. Marsh said, however, that, find ing Judge Nobbs firm in his attitude, he saw nothing to do except to com ply with the request. He will prob few days, although the widow and children of MT. Sterling are opposed to his doing so.
 Mr. Marsh said that it will be a hard matter to estimate the value of the es- tate of Deacon Sterling because of the peculiar system that the deacon had of giving to charitable organizations and institutions. All of his charities were conducted upon a systematic basis
 It is understood upon excellent au- thority that there IS between $10,000 and s20,0OO left in the Sterling Char itable fund and that the memorandum will disclose that it is left to.- the Bridgeport Charitable Society, the South Congregational fch1rch, the Bridgeport Young Mems Christian Association, the Bridgeport Boys club, and the Burroughs home, in which in stitution he took a strong interest and in the management of which he took an active part.
 Lawyers are discussing the legal similarity between the portion of the Sterling will relating to his bequests to charity and the clause in the will of the late Philo M. Bennett of New Ha- ven, whose will named a sealed let ter, which was found to contain a be- quest of $50,0OO to William Jennings Bryan, to meet the expense of lectures. The Supreme Court ruled that the let ter could not be construed as part of the will, and MT. Bryan did not receive the beQuest.

 London, Aug. 13.-Rumors of a pos sible reconciliation between the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, who was Consuelo Vanderbilt, were discredited today by friends of each. ''The diff ferences between the two are just as insurmountable as ever,'' said a titled woman who has been frequently enter tained at the Duchess house. 'I think the Duke himself would like to return to his wife, but know she will never consent to this. The recOncilia- tion rurnor has probably been revived by reason of the Dukes visit to Devon shire County where the Duchess is now staying at her country home. This,
 syer. is purely a coincidence." A
