ASTOR CHILDREN GET ALL
Vincent to Receive 80 Per
Cnt, or About $50, 00O,-
900, by Will.

NEW YORK, AprA 29.-With the body
of Col. John Jacob Aston arriving in
Halifax today, with Mrs. Ava. Willing
Aston hurrying across the Atlantic to this
city, and with Mrs. John Jacob Astor
approaching motherhood in the Astor
home on 9Th avenue, speculation concern
ing the terms of the Astor will has be-
come intense.
In spite of many rumors. two facts, re-
ceived through a reliable source. stand
out supreme:
First. Col. Aston made no will which is
known of in this country, since his sec
ond marriage; second, whatever will he
did leave, and the terms of that are
known to only one person, Lewis Cass
Ledyard, will not make any appreciable
difference in the financial standing of any
Of the persons concerned.
Distribution Of Estate.
The outstanding fact in the ques-
ton of the Astor Inheritance is this:
Eighty per cent Of the Aston estate. or
about $sOOOO,O0o, is left-as it was left to
John Jacob Aston by his father. William
Astor-to Vincent Astor.
The remaining 20 per cent goes to the
Otner CHliOreN. Al present tHeTe Is Dut
one other child. Muriel. ten years old,
who will get $15.OOOOOO. Should there
be issue from the second wife. this child
will share the 20 per cent with Muriel.
II the issue is girl each child will have
10 per cent, or $500. 900: If the issue is
a boy Muriel will receive less and the
boy more.
With the terms OF this bequeathal
John Jacob Aston had nothing to do.
They were made by his father. Will
liam, and have been on file in the sur
rogate's office for over forty years, but
have never before been published.
The terms Of this will OF William
Aston are such that the only property
John Jacob could bequeath would be
such as he might have acquired by
purchase and held separate from the
entailed Aston estate.
Funeral Of Col. Aston.
RHINEBECK. N Y, April 2s.-The
funeral of Col. John Jacob Aston will
be held here at the church which ha built.
The services will be private. No date
will be fixed until after the arrival OF
the body in New York.

A SAFE DISINFECTANT

II Many people make the mistake
of using poisons such as carbolic
acid and chlorides for disinfectine
their homes.
4 And sometimes serious or fatal
accidents happen when somebody
gets hold of the wrong bottle.
4 The best way is to use en-
the powerful, non-poisonous dis
infectant.
4 It's FIVE times as strong as car
bolic acid and is safe.
4 en- kills germs Of all diseases,
drives out odors and clears dirt
away-and does all better than
the dangerous compounds.

A number of plans have been considered
as to the form the proposed memorial
shall take. but it has been practically
decided that memorial arch will be built
in Washington. to be dedicated as "Wom-
ans Tribute to Heroic Mankind" Various
suggestions as to statues, either in
dividual or grouped, were discussed
but finally discarded in favor of the arch
The memorial IS to be erected to the
memory of all the men who went down
with the Titanic that women and children
might have the first chance Of safety
and no individuals will be singled out
Thousands of letters are to be sent out,
this work having already been begun,
and it Is planned to reach all the women's
clubs throughout the country with this
direct appeal. No donations of money
for the memorial fund will be accepted
from men, the tribute being altogether a
woman's memorial.

with the wreck, July 3, on the Ligonier

The commission will look into the
question of whether this was not in

LORIMER FIRED
FROM SENATE
Vote 10 UnSGdt IIIinClSan Is
So TO e

The United States senate ousted
William Lorimer of Illinois on the
ground that his election was tainted
with corruption.
The vote was 80 to 2S In taking
this action the senate recorded in his
tory the first case where a member
Of that body has been unseated on
charges of bribery.
When the clerk of the senate finally
announced Lorimer's expulsion the
senator arose and with head erect and
unlaltering step walked out of the
chamber. Many in the crowded gal
leries watched this final act in the
tragedy with tears streaming down
their cheeks.
Lorimer declined to disclose what
his plans are for the future, but in the
last sentence of his three days speech
he served notice that he would fight
to the death to remove this blot from
his record and restore his name to
honor.
Even Lorimer's enemies acknowl-
edged he can, on the precedent as
tablished in his case, call for a reopen
ing on new evidence in the United
States senate, 1t is likely however,
that Lorimer will carry the fight back
to the state of Illinois and appeal 10
the people for a judgment. He may
even seek to be returned to the senate
as vindication.
or the senators voting against Lori
men twenty-seyen are Republicans and
twenty-eight Democrats OF the sena-
tors who voted for Lorimer twenty
ire Republicans and eight Democrats.
