CONTEST WILL OF
 AGED MERCHANT

New York, September 12.-The fortune of the late John S. Lyle, merchant said to aggregate about $20,ooO,O0o became a matter of contest today with the filing by relatives of a petition protesting against the probating of the will whereby he left the bulk of the estate to his widow, a nurse. sixty years his junior. Mrs. Lyle was Julia Gertrude Hannon. She was a nurse in the Presbyterian hospital sev- eral years ago and was employed to attend Dr. Lyle after his wife died It is cbarked that his will was fraudulently obtained through undue influence on the part of the nurse. Attorneys for the contesting relatives declare they have been unable to find any record of a marriage between MT. Lyle and Miss Hannon in Yonkers, N. Y, on Sep tomber 20, 1910
 Chauncey G. Parker of counsel for the Lyle estate, said tonight that the records of the church of the Immaculate Concep- tion in Yonkers show that the two were married in that city on the date named. It was said further on behalf of the estate that it's value had been grossly ex- aggerated.

LINER LUS|TAN|A
 LATE IN REPORTING

New York, September 12.--Just as spec ulation began to be indulged in as to why no wireless word had come from the Cunard liner Lusitania, which although due here tonight or early tomorrow, had not been heard from since she left Queenstown last Sunday, one of the wire
 less stations off the Massachusetts coast got into touch with the big steamer.
 The Siasconsett operator reported at a late hour that his apparatus had picked up the steamer, but had not been able to
 learn her exact position. It was Judged, however. that she was near enough to the coast to enable her to reach the port entrance here by noon tomorrow
 Officials of the Cunard line were pug zled late today at the failure of the liner to report to the shore stations, as in ordinary course she would have sent messages a day or two ago giving her position. No anxiety was expressed in any quarter, however. for the steamer's S safety. It is thought probable that un- | usually heavy weather or some derange- ment of the machinery is responsible for the steamers delayed arrival. Some similar cause is held to account for her failure to communicate by wireless be- fore tonight.

 lay of Becker Trial Was
 Improperly Secured
MAY PROBE MATTER

New York. September 12-District Att torney Whitman. accompanied by Assist ant District Attorney Rubin will leave Tomorrow for Hot Springs, Ark to ap- pear before the commission appointed to take the testimony of persons who talked to Sam Schepps, witness In the eosen- thai murder case, while he was in custody in that city.
 The prosecutor said tonight that the Scheeps testimony was so important to his case that he had decided to be on hand personally to cross-examiue the wit nesses, who. according to the defense, have stated Schepps told them that Po- lice Lieutenant Charles Becker had notll- ing to do with the Rosenthal murder.
 MT. Whitman said that the defense had added George W. Howell, chief of police of Hot Springs, to the three witnesses named in the motion for the appointment of commission but declared his eonll- dence that the defense would find that Howelrs testimony would be of littis value to Beckers case
 In view of the fact that Mc. Whitman has received from two of the witnesses telegraps saying that they Lad never heard Schepps say anything in defense of Becker, it was said that the district at- torney might make an investigation to de- termine whether improper methods had been used in applying for the commis- sion, one effect of which was to post pone the trial until october !.
 For the purpo SC of establishing a prece- dent to prevent in the future the procur- ing of delays in a similar manner, the prosecutor obtained today in order from Justice Bischoff requiring Che defense to show why the appointment of Inc con- mission should not be set aside Argu-
 on the order will be heard tomor- row but no immediate decision is ex- pected
