Chdffee Estate
Will Go To Heirs
WILL OF LATE Herbert CHAT.
FEE DIVIDED ACCORDING
TO LAW.

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 3.-That the will
of the late Herbert F. Chffae, or as
much of one as exists, was lost when
the wner went down with the wreck
of the Titanic, was the decision reach
ed in the county court here. In accord
ance with the finding of Probate Judge
Hanson the estate of the financier will
be divided among the heirs according
to the laws of the state.
Mrs. Carrie T. Chaffee, widow and
Walter R. and Thomas B.. Reed, bust
ness partners of the deceased are ap-
pointed executors. I.
plymouth Congregational church Of
Minneapolis and the International
unshine society of Minneapolis with
other charitable organizations will be
losers because of the failure of Mr..
Chaffee to leave a will. One which
has been made but which was de-
stroyed included these institutions
and others as benedciaries.
According to the testimony given
before Judge Hanson, Mr.. Chatfee
drew one will in which he left the
bulk of his property to his family al
though remembering many charities.
This will was sent to Attorney Sulli-
van of Duluth nearly a year ago for
examination. The opinion Of the at
torney was given that several clauses
of the will were not valid and the doc
ument was returned to Mr.. Chaffee
for revision.
The will mailed to him in Minneap-
oils reached him in New York just
before he embarked with Mrs. Chat
fee for a trip abroad. Little work
was done on the proposed revision
while abroad but with the departure
of the Titanic from Southampton with
the Chaffees aboard the fnancier ap-
piled himself to the task Of putting
his will in legal form.

law, filed his views.
The reports all refrain directly from
expressing the opinion that the Unit
ed States Steel corporation has violat-
ed the Sherman law. An agreement
to omit reference to this phase of thei:
investigation was reached because Of
the present tendency OF the govern.
ment's suit to dissolve the corpora
ton.
The majority report, however, bris-
ties with denunciation of the CON.
bine's method of "stifling competi.
tion," of "exerting monopoly" and OF
controlling prices" through owner
ship of railroads and practical monop-
oily Of all the ore fields now available.
Remedial Legislation Suggested.
Three bills, outlining trust curbs.
were presented with the report. One
provides for amendment of the Sher-
man law to place the burden of proof
upon defendant corporations charged
with restraint of trade. Control Of
80 per cent of any business is made
prinaa facie evidence Of guilt. Another
provision gives each state and any
individual the right to bring injunc-
ton suits against a trust.
A second bill is designed to pre-
vent "interlocking directorates" among
railroad and industrial corporations.
It is proposed to prohibit any officer
or empioye Of an industrial corpora
ton in the coal industry or manufac-
ture Of structural steel and rolling
stock, from acting in a similar Ca
pacity for railroad.
Another bill seeks divorce of in.
dustrial and common carriers by pro-
hibiting mining or manufacturing COM
panies from owning stock in any car
rier.
The committee also recommends
that the bureau of corporations report
to congress in addition to the presi-
dent, providing publicity of corporate
combinations
