contained in the appropriation bill for the

Disinherited Children of Count.
ess Likely to Abandon Suit.

II the Supreme Court upholds the con-
,ontion Of Henry Lewis Morris, one OF the
executors Of the estate OF Countess Mar
edret Laura Zborowsld. il is likely that
the suit brought by her daughter, Countess
Margaret de Steurs OberndorH, wife OF
the German mbsssador TO Austria, and
her brother Hubert de steurs. for share
OF their mothers estate will be settled
without further litigation.
Counties Zbolowski was the widow OF
Count William Elliott Zborowski. Her
first husband was Chevalier &c Steurs
who was Minister from The Netherlands
10 France. She divorced him. In her will
the countess left her entire estate. valued
at s2,875.469. to her son by her second
marriage. and specifically disinhcrited
the Countess Oberndorff ard Hubert de-
s;teurs, children Of her first marriage for
their alleged dntilial conduct toward her.
The two disinherited children first flied
a notice of contest Of the will or their
mother in tho Surrogate's Court on the
ground that she pas OF unsourd minc
when the instrument was executed. They
abandoned this proceeding and filed
suit in the Supreme Court TO set aside the
Will.
According 10 the complaint OF Morris.
who has named his co-eXecutor. David =.
