.ASTOR'S WILL IN
LAW FIRMS SAFE
Reported That Daughter Muriel
Is C0-Heir with Her Brother
to Fortune.
POSTHUMOUS CHILD MAY
OBTAIN PART OF RICHES
Titanic Victims First Wife to
Arrive in New York This
Week.

NEW YORK. April 2S,-Despite re-
ports to the contrary it was learned
yesterday on undeniable authority hat
Colonel John Jacob Aston left a will.
This will il believed to have been
drawn up subsequently, to Colonel
Astor's marriage to Miss Madeleine
Talmage Force last September in New
port. When he settled 5000. 900 on his
fancee d few days before the marriage
Colonel Astor told his attorney, Lewis
Cass Ledyard, and former Supreme
Court Justice Henry A. Gildersleeve,
representing the Force family. that he
desired to enter into further agreement
to make additional provision for Miss
Force.
The will, it is learned, at present re-
poses in the safe of the law firm of
Carter, Ledyard & Milburn at "a
Wa1l street. Although Mr.. Ledyard,
Colonel Astor's personal attorney, was
inaccessible Yesterday Mr.. Baylis. !
member of the firm, said.
Amy statement in regard to Colonel
Astor's will is premature at this time,
although it is felt by his family that
he was lost with the Titanic. The will
will be probated as soon as it is
proper. 1t will be necessary. of course
for all the heirs to be appraised of the
fact. | regret l cannot say more at
this time"
Whether Colonel Astor made provi-
sion in his will for the posthumous
child that is expected shortly is the
phase of the matter which is most
interesting to society.
Daughter May he Collier.
The news of the expected arrival of
Mrs. Ava Willing Aston and her
daughter Muriel has given rise to the
report that the little girl has been a
co-heir with her brother Vincent, the
new head of the Astor fortunes.
Just what part of the estimated for
tune of $3.50, 900, 900 it lay within Colonel
Astor's power to leave by will was
another subject of speculation. Under
the will of Colonel Astor's father.
William Aston, a considerable part of
the estate was held in trust for him
and reverted automatically TO the

LEGS CAUGHT IN ELEVATOR,
HE BANGLES UNTIL DEAD.

With his legs caught and jammed
between the elevator car and the edge
of the four floor, John Harvey, an en-
ployee of the international Garage, at
256 West Fortieth street, New York,
hung head downward for several hours
early today. and died just a few min
utes before he was released. His cries
of agony attracted neighbors for sew
eral blocks around the place, and every
effort was made to release him but
to no avail,
Harvey was taking an automobile to
the fourth floor when the accident oc-
Cured. The machine was brought
into the place by Rochelle Bleu, a
chauffeur, who lives at IS Sheffield
street, this city. The latter placed it
on the elevator, and after blocking the
wheels left it in charge of Harvey. 1t
is thought that Harvey lost his bal
ance when passing the third floor, it
being unprotected by doors.

NEW YORK, April 23.-All the prin-
cipal transatlantic lines are wing with
one another now in announcing that
they have given orders to have all
their ships equipped with sufficient
lifeboats to take are of every person
aboard. passengers and crew. The
lines controlled by the International
Mercantile Marine Company. and sew
eral of the German lines, have made
public their new lifeboat plans. Gen
eral Agent Charles b, Sumner, of the
Cunard company, gave out this state
ment, showing that the officials of his
line were quite in the forefront of any
movement to euuip all steamers with
more than a suffieiency of lifeboats and
RATS.
In view of the statements which
have been made in the press with re-
gard to the intention of several trans
atlantic ines to provide their steamers
in future with sufficient boats and
RATS to accommodate all on board. T
consider it right on behalf of the
Cunard company to state that the
chairman of the company, Who was on
board the Mauretania at the time, sent
a Marconi message to Liverpool on
Wednesday last via Cape Race, read
ing:

IsMAY IS FLAYEO

OTHER THINGS THAN GERMS,

Two authoritative speakers at the
National Conservation Congress at
Indianapolis on Wednesday specially
emphasized the fact that there are
other menaces TO health and life than
germs. Professor Fisher Of Yale truly
remarked that In recent years In this
country public health had been re-
garded almost exclusively rs matter
Of protection against germs, but that
such protection was quite ineffective
against the great chronic diseases Of
middle life, such as Bright's disease,
heart disorders and nervous break
downs, which were due to improper
personal habits. Mr.. Rittenhouse, OF
this city, who has studied the matter
from the point Of view of life in
surance operator, also said that prog
ress in preventing life waste had been
confined almost wholly TO contagious
or infectious diseases, while the death
rate from the degenerative diseases Of
middle life and from Old age, against
which we had waged 10 war, had
steadily increased.
Those statements are quite true, but
they imply reproach or an admoni-
ton to the individual rather than to
the government The germ diseases
with which the government has been
dealing with so gratifying a measure
of success are those with which it can
deal, while the others, which, as Pro-
fessor Fisher said, are primarily due
to unhygienic personal habits, are be-
yond the scope Of the governments
control. The government is colnpe-
tent to exterminate mosquitoes and
rats and flies and to safeguard the
purity of water supplies, and thus to
suppress malaria and plague and ty-
phOid and cholera. II can also deal
effectively with smallpox and diph-
liberia and tuberculosis. But we doubt
the practicability of its preventing men
from working or dissipating themselves
into grave disorders Of the nerves and

PROPHETIC.

The account Of his experience with
political organizations recently given
to Governor Wilson by Mr.. F. w.
HinIichs, the Empire State Democ-
racy's near-candidate for Governor,
turns out TO have been not only pa
thetic but prophetic. Mr.. Hinrichs
warned Mr.. Wilson against political
organizations. telling how many he
had joined in high hopes only to ind
them falling victims to bossism.
Now he can add TO his "reminiscences
one more experience of hopes dashed.
The Empire State Democracy noml-
mated him for Governor with brave
words. It's ticket would be put in the
field unless the Syracuse convention
absolutely repudiated Murphy. NO
making of poor Dix a scapegoat would
do. Its secretary announced that the
regular ticket must be free from
Murphyism from top 10 bottom anu
that the Empire Staters did not even
hope for such a miracle. Surely here
was an organization which babe fair
TO cure Mr.. Hinrichs's pessimism and
restore his faith in man as a pol1n-
cal animal. But behold! Dix is made
the scapegoat, and lifelong member
Of Tammany is substituted for him.
Sohmer and Bensel. Murphy's faithful
servants, are renominated. McCooey's
man, May, is put on the ticket Then
the Empire State Democracy, perhaps
because it scents the spoils which Mr..
Sulzer says he believes in giving to
the victors, abandons Mr.. Hinrichs and
is taken into camp by Murphy.
They sounded forth a trumpet that
should never call retreat;
Their defiance to the Tiger should be
lasting and complete.
Now they turn 10 fight his battles and
are fawning at his feet.
The Boss Is marching on.
Poor Mr.. Hinrichs, TO be thus de-
serted! Poor j. Hampden Dougherty.
Poor George Haven Putnam! They
thought they were leading a steadfast
party Of protest, only to find them
selves used for bridge by protested
superior persons to cross over to Muir
phys support.

The moral Of 1t is that while the gov

MORE MADNESS.

IL Is difficult to write with patience
Of the performances Of some aviators,
and still more so Of the conduct OF
those who for the sake Of gain urge
them to deeds Of recklessness. Walsh,
who was killed on Thursday ut Tren-
ton while performing at the state fair,
was known as zone OF the greatest
trick aviators in the world" IL was
said that there was not O stunt In
the game that he would not try" and
he was killed while essayIng a piece
of folly sensationally advertised as the
"dip OF death"
A few days before another aviator,
Ashley, was killed while performing
at another fair, in England. Before he
became an aviator he was an automo-
bile racer, noted for his reckless dar-
ing. In his last and fata, fight "he
executed number Of manpuvres in
"the air IN the most daring manner"
Then his machine went wrong, and he
was killed
It ought to be obvious to a most
rudimentary intellect that even the
most cautious flights are perllous. II
man ascends on an aeroplane and
essays nothing but the simple and
direct flight which alone IA likely to be
Of use in practical aviation he runs
serious risks. Deliberately to increase
those risks by doing stunts" is sim
ply TO make overtures to suicide.
Perhaps we cannot enforce laws
against such folly. But we could make
and enforce laws against the public
exploitation Of II for gain. The fact
that fair or other concern adver-
tises that an aviator will perform a
dip of death should be sufficient to
bring upon It legal prohibition. 1t Is
contrary to public morals to make
money out Of the public exhibition of a
man trying to see how near he can
come TO killing himself.
