NO WILL; HUSBAND
LOSES A MILLION
Bulk of Mrs. ThomaS'S
Estate Goes to Sister,.
NieceS and NepheWS.

The failure Of Mrs. Grace Watt
Thomas, who died August 10 at Green
wich, Conn, to make a will disposing
of her estate, valued at about $4,000
600, will divert the greater part from
her husband, DR.. Emery J. Thomas, OF
IA West 18th ST., and give il to her
sister, Mrs. Julia Watt Curtiss Law
renee, and to two neces and two
nephews. p,
Mrs. Thomas was a niece. and one OF
three heirs of Miss Mary 6. Pinkney,
who died in 1903, leaving an estate OF
about 100000. the other two bene-
ficaries being Mrs. Lawrence, at that
time Mrs: Curtiss, and the late Com
modore Thomas Lister Watt, brother
of Mrs. Thomas.
Surrogate Cohalan yesterday issued
letters of administration on the estate
of his wife to DR.. Thomas. He will
administer the personal property,
which will amount to about S800,OOOr
of which he is the sole beneficiary.
The property left TO Mrs. Thomas by
her aunt, Mrs. Pinkney, was in the
form of real estate. Without the ex-
istence of a will specifically leaving
this property to her husband this real
estate reverts to Mrs. Lawrence, as a
sister of the decedent, and to her two
children and to the two children OF
Commodore Watt.
However, some of the real estate left
to Mrs. Thomas was sold before her
death, and it is the proceeds from
these sales, which now must be re-
garded as personal property, that 60
to DR.. Thomas. The bulk of the $780,
900 personal property left by Mrs.
Thomas comes from the sale of the
real estate left to her by her aunt.
There is still more than S1,000,000 to
be distributed among the sister, nieces
and nephews of the decedent, part of
which at least, If not practically all,
would probably have been left to DR..
Thomas If his wife had made a will.
As DR.. Thomas wished to avoid filing
a bond for the value Of the personal
estate of his wife, which the law re-
uuires from administrators of estates,
he moved under a section of the code
for an order advertising for the sub
mission of claims held against the es-
tate. He said in his petition that his
wife did not leave debts in excess Of
$4,000. Being entitled to all the per-
sonalty left by her, DR.. Thomas, in the
discretion of the Surrogate, may be re-
quired, when all the claims are in, to
file a bond equal only to the aggre-
gate amount Of the claims, instead Of
having to file bond of 100000. DR..
Thomas said in his petition that he
had made diligent search for a will
and was certain that his wife had not
executed one.
Not long ago Mrs. Annie Watt, the
widow of Commodore Watt, whose
children will receive part of the
Thomas estate, made an application to
the Surrogates' Court for an allow
ance from her husbands share in tie
Pinkney estate, saying she and her
children were in dire need. Mrs. Watt
explained that a large part Of her
husbands estate had been mortgaged,
and that she had to settle his many

WAR BOOST FOR ROAD
st. Paul Pushes Campaign,
Urging "See America"

Now is the time to see America, is
the slogan of S. D. Roberts of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
way Taking advantage of war con-
ditions he has instituted an advertis-
ing campaign that is getting results.
Giving European scenery all that vs.
coming to it, yet Mr.. Roberts thinks
there is nothing to surpass the Vel
iowstone Park, Colorado Rockies and
Mount Rainier.
'"There are a great many people who
think the war is going to hurt Cal
iiornia's exposition next year, but
such Is not the case" he said yester-
DAY. Gust a few foreign countries
will be unable to hold their exhibit
tfons as they had planned, but his
will be more than made up by other
expositions. The crowd that goes to
Europe every year will probably be
f3Und on the Coast. That takes care
OF the attendance"
The war is going to cut down per
ma emily the numbe~ of European trav-
eilers and increase the see-America
cfowd, according to Mr. Roberts.

RIDER WITHDRAWS

Three Shifts Made by Democrats

Three candidates for the nomination
for delegate-at-large to the constitu-

Democratic conference at Saratoga,
have withdrawn.
Thomas B. Lockwood, of Erie, who is
in the race for Lieutenant Governor,

SAYS TRADE NEEDS
CLEARING HOUSE
W.E.Peck Suggests Credit
Exchange Here for
South Americans.

The organization of a clearing house
in this city for American and South
American merchants has been suggest
ed" by William E. Peck, member OF
the committee appointed by James A.
Farrell, president Of the National For
sign Trade Council, to work out plan
TO accelerate trade with the Latin
American countries. Mr.. Peck's plan
provides for such cooperation between
the bankers and the exporters and i'm
porters that trade with South America
can be largely increased without any
of the countries paying out a single
dollar.
The plan proposed by Mr.. Peck is
simple.
By cooperation between the banks
and the exporters and importers, a
merchant who wishes to pay a certain
amount of money for coffee ordered in
Brazil, for instance, can go to this
clearing house with his cash. There
he can be put in touch with another
exporter or merchant who has an or
der from Brazil for -four, for instance,
but is unwilling to ship until ne IS
sure of his cash. By an exchange OF
credits the payments of both bills can
be made without the necessity of the
transportation of gold between the
countries.
Mr.. Peck is head of the exporting
firm of William E. Peck & Co., of lO4
Pearl st. He said yesterday that the
committee of which he is a member
will have a meeting in few days and
seek the cooperation of the banks in
working out plan to increase trade
facilities. The exchange Of credits
amounts to considerable just now, but
he would have it run up to SlO,0OO,OOO
or more.
The clearing house idea is Mr.. Peck's
own. He explained yesterday that
some importers and exporters were
already bartering among themselves,
but a clearing house would develop a
larger and more satisfactory method OF
exchange. Other exporters, who ap-
proved Mr.. Peck's plan, said that It
would not be long before big foreign
exchange market would be established
in New York for the discounting of
foreign bills, such as has been pre-
viousiy done in London and Hamburg.
