found it necessary to open branch office

il should hardly be necessary to point
out to anybody whose memory and
reading take him back few years that
this is an absurdly distorted and alb
solutely incorrect view. Never has gov
eminent in this country been so respon-
sive to the wishes of the people as at the
present time. Never since the simplicity
that marked the early days of the re-
public has there been less corruption,
when the enormous increases in popula-
ton and wealth are taken into cons.dera-
ton. Never has there been such anxiety
among all parties to correct abuses and
10 see that governmental affairs are hon
estly conducted. The theory that this
country was once a pace or idyA6c free
dom from corruption. from which 1t has
now fallen, has no historic basis. 1t is
no excuse. of course, for present wrong
doing to point out there has been past
wrongdoing. but when We consider calm
~ the present condition of affairs and
contrast il with the civic evil that ex-
listed forty, fifty, sixty and seventy-five
years ago. there is every cause for con-
graduation and optimism rather than for
dependency and forebodings OF disaster.

Further, the many changes in design in

small part of the amount eventually due

the first part of the secretary's reckless
charge The second part is mere talk;
1t cannot be proved nor is it believed by
reputable engineers or contractors.

the statement that the great Panama

WILL OF JOHN JACOB AST0R
is ADMITTED TO PROBATE
Reports That There Will Be Con-
test, However, Still Con-
tinue to Circulate.

NEW YORK, May 23.-Surrogate Fowler
admitted to probate yesterday the viii
of John Jacob Aston. disposing of his
estate, estimated at $50. 100000. Although
the several special guardians appointed
by the surrogate for the widow. Made
leine Force Aston; William Vincent AS
tor and Ava Alice Muriel Astor made
affidavits that they had found the rights
of their wards protected, reports that the
will might be contested. which have been
prevalent ever since it was filed, con-
tinued to be circulated.
One of these reports was that Mrs.
Ava Willing Astor, Col Astor's first wife,
who sailed for Europe Saturday, had
made arrangements to have Samuel I'm
termyer represent the interests of her
daughter, Muriel. Under the terms of
the will Muriel Aston is to receive the
income from a fund of $4,000 which is
to be held in trust for her until she at
tains her majority. When she is twenty
one the fund is to become her property
outright, together with any accumula-
tons. She is also empowered to dispose
of IT by will before she becomes OF age
Mrs. Ava Willing Astor is not mentioned
in the will, and 1t is believed that any le-
gal action taken at her instance would
be solely in her daughters behalf.
Ex-Justice Henry A. Gildersleeve. who
was appointed special guardian for Mrs.
Madeleine Force Aston, said last night
that he had heard of no plans on the part
of Mrs. Aston to contest the will, either
on her own account or that of her daugh-
ter, or that Mr.. Untermyer had been en-
gagged in connection with the matter he
added that he didn't think there was any
foundation for the report.
The special guardians who filed the
afidavits yesterday were A. Perry Os-
born for Muriel Aston, Langdon P. Mar
vim for William Vincent Astor and Judge
Gildersleeve for Mrs. Madeleine Force
Astor.
