London-Much interest was aroused
in the report of the London traffic
branch of the board of trade recon-
mending 100 miles OF new roads lead
ing out of and around London. Sir
Herbert Jekyll couples the scheme
with the provision of new garden
suburbs" in the districts traversed by
these roads. He urges its immediate
adoption on the ground that. heavy
as the cost will be now, it will be
twice as heavy seven or eight years
hence. The report thus opens the
prospect of what London may be like
in 1920.
The Labor party is in favor of the
proposed roads being put in hand as
soon as possible. They would find
work." said a Labor NJ. P yesterday,

LOSS TO METROPOLIS

The scheme of the report, If 1t is
ever carried out, will make every one
able to afford it. Then, instead OF
streets blocked by every kind of We
hicle. there will be plenty of room in
the center for the necessary traffic.
There is clearly a great future for
garden suburbs. The better kind OF

nately, the town planning act will pre-
vent them from being developed by
the speculative builder in the bad old

Il am not among those who think
the population of London will go on

therefore, the houses they have given

ERROR HOLDS UP A LEGACY

Kemper will sue in the supreme
court for the money.
Sevilla was native of Peru,
but came here, was naturalized and
died in 1886 worth s2,00O,OO0. His
will contained a bequest of $780,
900 for home for poor girls at
Hunts point On a contest by
relatives the courts declared the
will invalid and said the estate
must go TO natural heirs. BY this
means leopold Barranchea of Peru
became executor of the estate.
Mrs. Kempner alleges that the ex-
ecutor recognized the claim of her hus-
band and promised to pay it, When
she called him to account for fail

the money had been distributed. She
found that No. log West Twenty-sec

equipped with a wafer pipe, at which the
sailors could get fresh water If they de-
sired IT, and which ran from a well on
shore TO the end Of the dock.
On the day in question 1t became very

shelter as fast as they could fy to escape
