CARPENTER FALLS HEIR
TO $85, 900, 900 ESTATE

New York, Dec. 1S.-The heir to
an $S5, 100000 estate which has
been causing trouble for King
George, the Duke of Marlborough,
and the Duke of Devonshire, has
been found in the person of Joseph
Cola, a Brooklyn carpenter, 65
years of age. Prominent New York
attorneys stated today that Cola is
beyond doubt the man for whom tho
Erftish government has been seek
ing. The estate is In Newfoundland
and consists of several miles of wa
ter front, rentals, interest and a
great fishing industry. The income
has been a source of much wrang-
ling in England and some of it has
eeen going to Lady Elizabeth Church
i'll. 1t is explained that one Samuel
Churchill went to ST. Johns rs years
ago and laid the foundation of the
great fortune. He had two daugh-
ters, Elizabeth and Clermont, and
one son, Nicholas. Clermont mar.
rled the captain of fishing vessel
and was disinherited. Nicholas was
taken by pirates while on his way to
London and forced to walk the plank.
He left a will bequeathing his share
OF the estate to Clermont. About
that time Cola married a Churchill
and, the two sisters dying without
issue, the Coilas became the direct
descendants and heirs to the estate
Samuel Churchill was of the Marl
borough Churchill family.

MOB LAW Is UPHELD
BY SUPREME COURT

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The constitu-
tionality of an Illinois statute TO III
demnify owners of property from dam
ages occasioned by mobs or riots was
upheld today by the supreme court of
the United States. Several cases
brought under this law are said to be
pending in Illinois state courts, in
volving claims of many millions Of
dollars. During the strike in Chicago
July 16. 1903, building owned by
Frank Sturges was attacked. Under
the mob law Sturges recovered from
the city three-fourths the damages
sustained. The city appealed on the
ground the law was unconstitutional.
The decision today says the statute
tends to uphold the majesty of the
law.
