IF VINCENT DIED A MINOR
First Mrs. Aston Would Obtain
the Bulk of the Estate,
Lawyers Say.

NEW YORK. May 8.-Lawyers who
have been discussing the will of Col.
John Jacob Astor have directed atten-
ton to peculiar condition arising be-
cause of the youth of Vincent Aston,
who will not be twenty-one years old
until next November. Should he die
before he reaches his twenty-first year
the bulk Of the estate will revert to
Col. Astor's first wife, Mrs Ava Will
ing Astor. for whom no provision was
made in the will, and to Vincent
Astor's other next of kin. who would
be his sister Muriel and his step
brother or stepsister yet to be born.
Mrs. Madeline Force Astor would not
share in the estate further than by the
provision already made for her in the
will. Under the law Vincent Aston
being a minor. cannot make a will dis
posing of his real estate, although he
can dispose by will of his personal
property, which is the minor portion OF
the estate left him by his father
The petition for probate filed with
the will sets forth that Mrs Astor is
minor, being only twenty years old
Therefore in the usual course a guard
ian Will be appointed for her by the
surrogate court in the probate pro
ceedings, as well as for Vincent Aston
and Muriel Aston

Tex, has arrived at Key West in safety.
Coal and provisions will be taken aboard
at Key West and the tug and her tow
will start on the last leg of their journey
across the Gulf of Mexico to their desti-
nation. The dredge Port Arthur was built
by a Baltimore concern and is to be en-
ployed in misunderstanding work at Port
Arthur, the principal shipping point of
the output Of the Texas OIL fields. About
a year ago a dredge was started from
Baltimore for the Texas oil port. but
never reached her destination, having
sunk in a gale off the coast below Cape

Although frequently accepted as

Loss OF hair and approaching bald

GRANT TOMB REPORTED
UNDERMINED BY WATER
Investigation Ordered of Charge
That Mausoleum Is in Dan
ger of Collapse.

NEW YORK, May S.-Reports that the
foundations of Grants tomb on Riverside
drive rave been undermined by water and
that the magnificent mausoleum is in
danger of collapse, are to be investigated
by an official commission. consisting of
the chief engineer of the New York park
department, Edward Miller, and John II.
Duncan, architect of the tomb.
Signs of Disintegration.
A report by Park Commissioner Slower,
Just made public. calls attention to fire
auent crackings of the pavement around
the tomb, the breaking off of parts of the
steps and copings and noticeable set
Ting of the entire structure" The COM
missioner thinks the alarming conditions
are due to bad drainage.
He says:
The tomb is not built on a rock, ac-
cording to persons who are in position
to know about its foundation, but is rear
ed on a sandy mound. Rock was touched
in only one place during the excavation
for the tomb and that was at depth OF
100 feet.
For q long time the drainage has been
very bad about the tomb, and the question
is whether the water has got under the
foundations. The large pieces of stone
WHICH nave DccH OIOhCh Oii III LiC SOPAh6S
are the result of the settling of the edi-
flee.
Safety to Be Assured.
Everything will be done to insure its
safety. and If it is found necessary to
strengthen it's foundations that will be
done as soon as it is possible
The corner stone of the tomb was laid In
1892 by President Harrison. 1t was dedi-
Gated in 1897. Gen. Horace Porter is
president of the Grant Monument Asso-
citation, which built the tomb from the
funds raised from $1,000 subscriptions.

CUPID USES WIRELESS.
BLOCKS OFFICIAL CALLS
Maidens All Forlorn Transmit En-
dearing Messages to Jolly
Jack Tars at Sea.

NEWPORT. r. l., May S-The matter
OF interference by amateurs and others
with the wireless communication of the
naval torpedo station and ships of the
Atlantic fleet has reached climax in
the last two weeks, and the latest thing
to retard important official business ia
large number of messages from girls
smitten by the manly jack tars of the
big ships.
These maidens. living in Boston and
other cities along the coast send the
most trivial messages to their sea-
faring friends. One of the most ardent
messages intercepted here was from
Sweetheart Maggie" to Darling Jack.
in which Jack was implored to come to
Boston as soon as he could because
Maggie's heart was Just melting
away" for him and he hadn't kissed
her for so long her lips were dry
Asks Congress to Interpose.
Capt. Williams, commanding the tor
pedo station. and who has supervision of
the wireless plant, has incorporated
many of the intercepted love messages
in report to the Navy Department,
and they will be placed before Con-
gress In an endeavor to show why
there should be government regulation
of wireless.
The steamers of the Fall River line
are also accused of sending many trivial
messages at a time when they interfere
greatly with government business. The
matter will soon be taken before Con-
greSs.
