BIG LEGAL BATTLE
FOR WEALTH OF
DEAD MONARCH
LeOpOld's win Practically Dis
inherits His Children
MILLION FOR EACH DAUGHTE"
Aged King of Belgians Had Turned
Over Much Property to Nor
eanantic Wife

Brussels, Dec. 1S-The entire king
dom of Belgian mourns its departed
ruler, Leopold H. Courts, schools
aud theatre are closed. Parliament
and the municipal council have adj
iourned and flags are at half mast in
every city, town and village.
The filing of the will of King Leo
pold today shows that he divided 49,
100000 between his three daughters
Princess Louise, Princess Stephanie
and Princess Clementine. This prac-
teal disinheritance of his children
signifies the launching of gigantic
legal battle to obtain the kings
wealth similar to that which ensued
at the death of their mother, Queen
Henrietta.
The exact amount of Leopolds for
tune probably never will be revealed
Senator Winter, the kings friend and
confidential legal adviser told the
Associated Press that Leopold had
turned over a considerable portion of
it to the Baroness Vaughan and her
children and had created a stock com
pany of his estates in order to fore
stall a possible raid upon them by
the Princesses Louis and Stephanie
or their creditors
Senator Winer said that perhaps
later considerable portions of his es-
tate would be handed over to Bel
GUM. The Princess Clementine,
aside from the bequest she viii re-
ceive is provided for by a special in
come from Congo property.
Investigations shows that the
rights known to the throne of a child
of the king by the Baroness Vaughan
are not worthy of serious attitude. 1t
is pointed out by Senator Winer that
il there were only a religious service
the laws OF the kingdom would pre-
vent the accession of a child of such
union. The senator however. does
not believe there was a religious mar
riage
If il is established that the Baro-
ness Vaughan is of foreign birth she
probably will be expelled from Bel
GUM, like the favorite of Leopold /,
the Baroness Mayer. whose house
was attacked and destroyed by a mob
after the kings death

Feeling miserable and worried is
needless, because this unusual prep

DEED TO FAIR GROUNDS
State Now Has Title to Property at
White River Junction.

Montpelier, Dec 1S.-The deed con-
veying the Vermont State fair
grounds from the Billings estate to
the State of Vermont has been filed
in the office of the Secretary of State
The deed is in the form of release
from the conditions of the first deed,
which was given on July 20 last, in
which II was stipulated that the prem
ises in question should be used as a
State fair ground, and that if they
should not be used for that purpose
for three consecutive years the pro
perry should then revert to the don
ors
This deed removes that condition
and gives the property to the State
free of all incumbrance The consid-
GRAFTON expressed is the receipt of the
sum of one dollar each from the State
of Vermont and is the minimum
amount necessary to validate the
deed. The deed was executed in the
city of New York and is recorded in
the town of Hartford. Vermont,
where the premises are located.

FIVE SUGAR TRUST
EMPLOYESFOUND
GUILTY FRAUD
Maximum Penalty Two Years
and $4,000 Fine
BENDERNAGEL ESCAPE S
Government Disappointed as Prose
cution Had Hoped Through Him
to Reach Men "Higher Up"

New York, Dec lS.-The jury last
night found guilty five of the six EN-
ployes of the American Sugar Rein
ing company who have been on trial
for the past three weeks charged with
criminal conspiracy to defraud the
government of customs dues on i'm
ported raw sugar In the case OF
James F.. Bendernagel, former cash.
Ter of the company's Williamsburg
plant the jury disagreed Mercy is
recommended for all those found
guilty.
The jury was out ten hours. Under
the indictment, Oliver Splitter, dock
superintendent, John r. Gayle, Thorn
as Kehoe, Edward A. Boyle and Pat
rick j. Hennessy, checkers, may be
punished for the commission of two
overt acts, the maximum penalty for
each of which is two years imprison-
ment and $4,000 fine.
The failure to convict Bendernagel
is regarded by the government as a
distinct disappointment. The effort of
the prosecution has been to trace the
customs frauds already admitted to a
higher source, and Cashier Bender
nagel, though not an executive officer
of the company, was still an employe
who came into contact with those
who shaped the company's affairs in
their larger aspect.

LoosE's STORY A BARE LIE
Oefamer of Or. Cook Was Out for
the Money at Exporer's Expense.

New York, Dec 1S-Capt b. S.

Arctic Club, has written Capt Joseph
e. Bernier, commander of the Cana
dian exploration steamer Arctic, at
Ottawa, and others that Capt. August
w. Losses story of his dealings with
Doctor Cook, as published in a New
York newspaper, was concocted for
sale without regard for the truth.
In the presence of witnesses"
says Captain Osbon, q heard Loose
say I was out for the money and
didn't care how | got it, -
Captain Osbon does not believe
that Loose's narrative as supported
by his affidavts, was a part of any
plot to discredit Doctor Cook.
The idea originated with Loose
and Dunkle,' says Captain Osbon.
They had for sale matter in this
controversy so explosive that nobody
dared handle it, When they found
that out, they cast about for some
thing else Dunkle was the promot,
er, Loose the workman"
