 Are Impossible
Especial from United Press.)


 Chicago, July 9.-Robert St. George Dyrenforth, aged F, who is left a fortune of s25O,OOO in a strange will made by his grandfather, Col Robert Dyrenforth, of Washington, D. G., providing he take a strenuous educa- tional course mapped out by his bene- factor and obeys an injunction to 'be- ware of women, will not lose the money because some of the, require ments are impossible of execution
 William H. Dyrenforth, an uncle with whom the boy is living here and one of the executors of the estate, de- clared today that no youth however named in the will within the required time and pointed out that the will could not be violated as long as Rob- ert earnestly endeavored to fulfill as many of the requirements as possi- ble.
 "The boy is an ordinary youth of 12 years" said his uncle, land he could not possibly finish high school at the age of IA. He will be enrolled this fall at the Woolworth Military Acad- emy, in Missouri, where two of my sons are students. We plan to keep him there four years and then send him to Harvard, but as he will be 16
  impossible for him to win his degree at 12.
 When he returns from six months law study at Oxford, at the end of the Harvard course, we might have some difficulty in securing him an appoint ment to West Point. And I am not sure that he will follow the law as a profession If he seems better fit ted for some other line of work we do not intend to stand in his way"
 The provisions of the will demand ing that the boy be kept out of the Roman Catholic church and be guard ed from women will be carried out. He will also learn manual training dancing and music as required by his grandfather.
 Robert was the son of the Colone1s eldest daughter. His parents died when he was an infant and he was adopted by his grandfather.
 That boy is not able to carry out the provisions of the will. He is too delicate and my husband knew it. I shall demand my share" said Mrs. Dyrenforth today in declaring she would try to break the freak will of Col. Robert ST. George Dyrenforth.
 'I can only explain the provisions of the will except that my husband was mentally unbalanced from long illness,'' continued Mrs. Dyrenforth We have been separated since 1901, but were not divorced and I am fully entitled to my share of his estate.
 "The lad is nearly 12 years of age now and is sickly. It is absurd to talk of his going through Harvard, High school Oxford and West Point and practicing law as the will pro- vides.''
 Mrs. Dyrenforth declined to discuss the bitter attack upon the "unfortun- ate sex'' made by her husband in his will, one of the provisions of which was that the boy should never asso- ciate with her. His father, P. H. Nc Grath. an army surgeon, died two years ago and Colonel Dyrenforth 1e- gally adopted the boy who is now with William H. Dyrenforth in Chicago.
 Mrs. Dyrenforth is poor. She claims that her husband concealed his for tune from her. She has retained coun- sell Mrs. Dyrenforth is Roman Catholic and the provision that the boy must be an Episcopalian is par ticularly objectionable to her.
 When the lads mother died Mrs. Dyrenforth says she nursed the boy to health. saving his life. The Colonel drove up one day, took the boy from a nurse who was with him in Dupont Circle, and adopted him. Mrs Dyren- forth has been keeping rooming house.
