BROTHERS MEET AGAIN
But Fail to Recognize Each Other in
Store.

Chicago, Feb. Harry E. and
Frank E. Rose, brothers, who were
soldiers together in the Philippines,
met accidentally here yesterday after
a separation of eleven years and did
not recognize each other until after
one had sold the other a suit of
clothes.
Frank walked into a store where
Harry was employed as salesman and
the latter talked styles and fashion for
half an hour. After the order had
been taken Harry asked his Gus
toner's name.
Being told, Harry asked further
questions and after the two made al
lowances for gray hair and additional
weight since their last meeting, they
recognized each other They were
formerly business partners in Logan,
Ohio, and entered the Philippine SER
vice together, parting at Manila after
being in campaigns together for fiji
teen months

where she was pupil of some of the
best masters of music, Including Mosz-
kowSki. who thought so highly of his
gifted pupil that he dedicated COM
position to her, which she played,
among her other selections. She has
a magnificent touch and can draw
from the keys of a piano a perfect
you in its majestic melody, or she can
evoke the softest strains that sweep
the senses with a sigh OF infinite sat
isfaction. She played The Last Rose
of Summer with variations with one
hand and got more music out of it
more than some four-handed duets

Warding applications to join the new I'D
they wished first to see the regulations
stating the terms Of admission soon 20 lie
issued by the Treasury Department.
There is scarcely any doubt, however,
that the local national banks as a unit
will ultimatcl join the new system.
James G. Cannon, president of the
Fourth National Bank, said that the rev
currency act would no doubt have a most
beneficial influence on the business and
financial world
There is every indication that nearly
all of the important national banks will
become affiliated with the new system"
he added. "and in the course Of time
great many state institutions Will Join.
The Senate amendments materially
strengthened the act. and any shortcor-
ings that may be developed can be rene

when the present national bank act was
first adopted.

that the United States has rebuilt It's cur

will be of the greatest importance to TIE

Ruling of Surrogate in Will
Case Upheld on Appeal.

The Appellate Division dismissed yes
tcrday the objections oc Countess Iichy
TO the accounting of Henry b. Holih,s.
J ohm |. Cadwalader and Frederick ogden
Beach. as executors Of the will OF Con-
suelo. Dowager Duchess OF Manchester
who was cousin of Countess Iichy
The countess inherited ar annual income
of Ss0O under the will Of the duchess.
The bulk OF the estate Of the Dovagcr
Duchess OF Manchester was in securities
held i'm the United States. The death tax
on the estate in England amounted to
S35S, 80 As there were insufficient funds
in England belonging TO The estate to pas
this tax without selling the family jewels
and residence. the executors caused the
transfer OF 10000 from the assets In tins
country and charged the beneiciaries pro
rata.
The Countess Itchy objected TO this re-
duction OF her interest in he estate. hold
ing that she being an Austrian subject
and the estate being in the United States,
her share should not be subject TO taxa
ton in England.
Surrogate Fowler held that the Dowa-
ger Duchess of Manchester was a British
subject through her marriage and that
the laws of England placed a death tax
on the property of her subjects wherever
it was collectible. The Appellate Division
sustained this view.
