"A new mark for party policies when they
adopted in their platform a plank whicn
advocated the Improvement Of men ami

political party TO approve the science Il

The Introduction ot such a plank
caused surprise in the convention. u

MILLIONS HANG ON C0OICIL
Relatives of Sir John Murray
Scott Advertise for Lost Paper.

( B' Gable - The Tribune
London. May 29-A romantic story of
a lost Codicil on which turns the disposal
Of fortune of 100000. is contained
in an advertisement offering reward of
e10O0O for it's discovery \ formally
executed copy of the rough draft of the
CodiCl has been found among the papers
of the late Sir John Murray Scott, the
man who persuaded Lady Wallace To
leave the Wallace collection to the ma o.
ton He left will bequeathing practi-
cally his whole estate. Of which the
exact value is not known. but is esti-
mated at Fl 100000, TO Lady SaCkvi!le.
If a signed and witnessed copy can be
found OF the roughly drafted Codcil. the
result will be 10 divert all of the estate
except ths income on a legacy of 10000
or 100000 from Lady Sackville 10 Sir
John Murray SCott's next of kin. on
whose behalf the reward is offered.
Sir John Murray made his will in 1900
The question is whether he ever carried
the draft of the codicil further into the
form Of a regularly attested amendment
of the wilt Since the draft of the codi-
ell was found most thorough search
has been made in all Sir Johns houses.
Drawers and desks have been ransacked
and safes and dispatch boxes closely
searched Large masses Of papers. con
nected with the estate which are in safe
keeping with the testator's bankers
have been mnutely inspected. but so
far no completed copy has been found
of the few lines of the manuscript thai
control the fate Of a million pounds ster-
ling.
Sir John spent considerable time
abroad. and il is thought possible that
he may have filled out the draft IF the
codcil and left it in safekeeping with d
foreign banker or elsewhere abroad. The
reward. which is as great rs that Of
fered for the PheniX Park murderers in
1852, will be paid when the codicil has
been admitted to probate.
