LADY SACKvILLE
Gets FORTUNE
Effort to Break Sir John SCOTS
viii a Failure
NEARLY 100000 INVOLVED
Fraud on Part of Daughter of
Former Minister at Washington
She Is Not In Court When "Fight
For Millions" Comes to End

London, July 8.-The jury which
suit to break the will made by the late
Sir John Murray Scott by which he
left nearly 5000, 900 to Lady Sack
vile, daughter of the former British
minister at Washington, sustained the
will. The jury found there was no
undue influence or fraud on the part
of Lady Sackville.
Lady Sackville, the person mostly
interested in the outcome of the fight
for millions" was not present in
court when the concluding stage of
the case opened. 1t was stated that
she felt the need of rest after her ex-
perience on the witness stand last
week.
When Presiding Judge Evans took
his seat, the court was again crowd
ed with Representatives of aristocratic
families.
Sir Edward Carson at once began to
address the jury on behalf of Lord and
Lady Sackville, upholding the validity
of the testator's will. He said Sir
John could have changed his will,
made twelve years before his death in
If he had wished to do so. The only
hope Of the plaintiffs, the members
of the Scott family, he argued, was
in exaggerating the trivial quarrels
of long friendship into the appear
ance Of something important. If the
charges were true, Carson continued,
the Sackvilles would be bounded out
of society.
Frederick E. Smith, counsel for
the plaintiffs, said the jury had the
choice of two views of the case. "One
is Lady Sackville's own view, ex-
pressed by herself, that she would
have liked Sir John just as much If he
had not penny, and the other view
is that she followed up this chance
acquaintance in order to exploit his
wealth, and to obtain as large a por-
ton Of it as possible for herself and
her family"
Sir John Scott was man easily in
fiuenced, Smith said, He was physi-
cally weak and constitutionally in
capable of asserting himself or of
risking a scene or a quarrel. Hence
he gave way to Lady Sackville because
he was alarmed and dominated by
her temper. He continued:
in all your experience of life you
have never encountered a more as
sertive and dominating personality
than Lady Sackville. In cross ex-
animation she showed an extraor-
binary and uncanny cleverness in
dealing with every phase of this
case"

ARMY'S TRIBUTE
TO WAR HEROES
Last Formal Mark Of Gettysburg
Semi CentenniaI
SALUTE OF FORTY-EIGAT GUNS

Forty Thousand In Absolute Silence
For Five Minutes While stars and
Stripes Are at Half Mast-Thou-
sands Listen to Address by Presi-
dent-oId Soldiers Leaving Camp
Gettysburg, Pa, July 6.-The
regular army paid tribute to the thou
sands who sleep under the hills of
Gettysburg. Somewhere down in the
heart of the tented city bugle sang
out in silver sweet call that wandered
over the field where Lee and Meade
made history.
The big flag before headquarters
of General Liggett, glorious in the
sunshine Of perfect July day, came
slowly half way down the staff.
In front Of the tent, shoulders
squared, figures trim In summer uni
form of white, face toward the flag,
the general clicked heels together and
stood at attention.
Somewhere the guns of the Third
battery burst into staccato salute.
Every officer over the length and
breath of that wide field, every en-
listed man, turned away from the
duties of the moment and faced the
flag, heels together, heads up and
eyes alight with the sentiment of the
hour.
AS the last gun Of forty eight sent
the echoes gathering about Seminary
Ridge and Round Top there was SOL
emn silence, the hush of peace.
Old veterans who did not realize,
perhaps, exactly what was going on
stood silent under the spell of the
universal feeling that something to
sweep the field. Even the clatter of
pots and pans in the mess tents was
hushed and the yells of cooks about to
dish up the midday meal lowered to
whispers.
For five minutes the camp was
quiet. Then the bugle spoke again in
notes more joyous. The silken flag
leaped up the staff to its pinnacle and
the noises that 40, 900 men can make
resumed their sway-the regular
army's tribute to the dead and to the
flag of reunited nation.
That five minutes silence was prob
ably the last formal mark of the semi
centennial celebration. Only a few
minutes before, President Wilson
spoke in the big tent to the veterans
in blue and gray, and only a short
time afterward thousands Of those
who were left began their prepara-
lions for departure.
The president came into Gettysburg
shortly before II o'clock from Balti-
more. His appearance at the station
of Gettysburg was the signal for a
cheer and from somewhere down in
the college grounds came the custom
airy twenty-one guns.
His entrance into the tent to the
strains of Hail to the Chief" brought
the crowd, which those who estimate
say numbered 10, 900, quick from
their chairs with a cheer.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 2S.-Loss Of
life estimated at about twenty-five
resulted from a fire which destroyed
the Dewey Hotel, a second class hos
telry, to-day. Three hours after the
fire was discovered it was pronounced
under control. The fact that the
hotel register vas destroyed makes
it difficult to obtain a list of the dead.
The cause of the fire is unknown
Only four bodies were recovered be-
fore the flames drove the firemen
from the building.
That the basement, into which the
burning interior fell within a half
hour after the fire started, contains
at least forty bodies is the belief of
Chief Salter
When the firemen reached the
blaze they saw a number of persons
in the upper windows, but before
the ladders were raised the roo be-
gan to cave in and none were res

Campbell was locked in a cell, with

The trip from Atlanta was without
