Against Typhoid Rever.

Washington, Aug. 20. - The entire
army of the United States is to be in
oculated against typhoid fever-olli
GERS and privates alike
An order was issued by Major Gen.
eral Wood, chief of STAFF, making il
compulsory for every officer and en-
listed man in the army under forty
five years of age to subject himself
to the typhoid fever vaccine. This or
der applies to all those who have no

Estimates compiled at the war de
partment show that up to the present
time about 1900 NEGOTIATIONS for ty-
phoid fever have been made. OF the
troops who were sent to the Mexican
frontier nearly 10000 had been inoeu,
lated. The total strength of the army
at present is 10000, so there will be
plenty of work for the surgeons.

New instrument Breaks Trust In $40
100000 Estate.


100000 Estate.
New York, Aug. 28.-The late John
w. Gates left a second will, il was
learned, setting aside in effect the
great ten-year trust created by the
will drawn in 1910 for the joint benefit
of his wife and son, Charles G. Gates,
embracing practically all of the s40,-
100000 in securities that he is said tc
have owned.
The purpose of his former will. as
announced by Judge Henry A. Glider
sleeve on the day of the funeral, was
to protect friends who had gone into
his various enterprises with him from
embarrassment by the possible casting
on the market at his death of his hold
ings.
No such effort to prevent this is
made in the second will, as only ST.
100000 is placed in trust. This trust
is for the sole benefit of Charles G..
Gates, the son, and is to continue dur.
ing his lifetime In addition to this, &C.
cording to the will made public Satur-
day, bequest of $1,000,000 is left out.
right to him.
The widow is named in this later in.
strument as the residuary legatee af-
ter the provisions for the son and a
number of smaller special requests
have been carried out, making her
probable share, it is said, something
over $30,000,000. She has arranged,
however, in pursuance of a wish of
her husband expressed during his last
illness, to turn over to the son a part
of her share of the estate sufficiently
large to make their portions approx
mately equal.
The discovery of the second will
came as a surprise. The first will was
drawn by Judge Gildersleeve in May,
1910, just previous to the departure
of Mr.. Gates and his family for Swe-
den. after he had been told by doctors
that he was in a serious condition.
The first will was revoked and a
second, drawn last March, which lat
ter was modified by codicil executed
two months later. The special requests
to friends and relatives made in the
first viii, said to amount to a million
dollars, are reduced to 100000 in the
second will.

"Give us that money"
'T've only got a penny" replied the
boy, beginning to cry.
According to the two children in the
store, the biggest of the three boys
raised his club and crashed it twice
upon the head of the little fellow
beneath him. Sammy collapsed with a
groan.
The three Italians glanced at their
victim, then at the store around, and
rushed into the street. Only then did
the Beckman girl find her voice, and
made use of it crying for the police
and shouting that murder had been
done.
A man and a boy outside, hearing
her cries and seeing the three young
fellows rush through Market street,
gave chase to Cherry street, but there
the trio disappeared in the throng OF
passers-by. No trace of them has since
been found.
Little Max Green and the Beckman
girl had meanwhile bent over the in.
jured boy in the store and were trying
to bring him back to consciousness.
The boy remained motionless where
he had fallen. Neighbors entered the
store and some of them carried the
boy to the drug store of Hyman Font,
at Market and Monroe sereets, where
Mr.. Font tried to revive him with slim
ulants until an ambulance surgeon
from the Gouverneur hospital arrived
The surgeon looked at Sammy and
said he had died almost instantly.

the wall from bad speculations or
the embezzlement of the depositers
money. In "a Millionaire Tramp"

wildly told of an unscrupulous bank
president who was rejected suitor
for the hand of the cashiers bride,
plots and plans to blast and ruin
the good name of the cashier by
placing the crime of embezzlement
upon him, in which he is aided by a,
willing tool who has been a clerA

presents characters in every day
life in some of the big cities. finally
brought to light by the watchful eye
of the government sleuths, wrongs
righted and the guilty finally getting
