What the country needs more nov
than anything else is quiet time
an absolute rest from the agitation
Of politics and assaults upon bust
ness. 1t does not make any differ
ence whether it is big business o.
little business.
eve, therefore, strongly recon
mend and earnestly hope that con
gress may be convinced that the!
have done enough law making fo'
the present; that the country is abso
lutely tired and surfeited with polit
|ical agitatiors and that the agitation
now Of the control Of business is ex
ceedingly injurious and will serve t
retard improvement in business
which otherwise would be very grea
and rapid.
eve submit these arguments OF
reasons to you, asking you and pray
ing you to use your best influence il
following the lines suggested IN thl:
communication, viz: To have con
gress shut up shop and go home. l.
you agree with us, send to your con
gressman and senators a telegram
something like the inclosed and urge
your commercial club to pass strong
resolutions along similar lines ane
send them to Washington. Our rep
resentatives there are worn out, ply

consideration of legislation affecting
business be postponed until Decem

The president declined to make
any extended comment on the let

NORDICA'S SIS
TIERS TO RECEIVE
BULK OF PROPERTY
Husband Was Given Enough
During Her Life-Seek Will
Which He May Have

New York, Aug. 14.-Througn the fl
ing in this city Thursday of a copy of
the will of Mime. Lillian Nordica,
grand opera prima donna, it develop
ed that she had cut off her husband,
George w. Young, a Wall Street bank
er, with only his legal portion" in GER
tain stock she held in the Securities
Company, which he organized with his
banking business.
Nine. Nordica, who died May 10 at
Batavia, Java left the bulk Of her es-
tate, estimated at about 100000 to
her three sisters-Imogene Castillo of
Los Angeles, Annie Baldwin and Irene
Walker of Boston.
In this distribution of my property"
said Nine. Nordica in her will, Il am
not forgetful of my husband to whom
I have advanced over 100000 in cash,
which 1 estimated as the full share to
which he might be entitled in my es-
tate.
1T is, however, my desire that my
husband George w. Young, shall re-
ceive his legal portion Of the stock
now in my name in the Securities
Company"
A significant fact was that the COPY
of the will was offered to the surrogate
for probate by Robert s. Baldwin of
White Plains, coexecutor with Mr..
Young and E. Romayne Simmons. Mr..
Baldwin said in his petition: The or
igfnal will is in the possession Of Geo.
w. Young, the husband of the deced-
ant, or his attorney, John c. Tomlin-
son, and although the same has been
duly demanded of them, they have de-
clined to file said will, or hand the
same to petitioner"
Mr.. Baldwin asked that a subpoena
be issued at once to compel Mr.. Young
and his lawyer to produce the original
will in the Surrogate's Court.
At Mr.. Young's office it was said the
banker was out Of the city. In Mr..
Tomlinson's Office, at Is Broad St., it
was said he had gone for the day."
Efforts to find him at his home failed.
Besides the liberal provision for her
three sisters Nine. Nordica left $4,000
to Marie Masino, "a faithful maid"
Other requests were as follows: q.
Romayne Simmons, who has been
with me for period of 16 years." $780,
900, and Mrs. Ada Baldwin, $1,000.
IT WISH" said Nine. Nordica in her
will, chat my body shall be cremated
and that my ashes be forwarded to my
family"
Nine. Nordica's real property, as In
ventoried by herself, consists Of farm
called Norton Woods, near Farming
ton, Me-; a country place at Ardsley,
N. Y; two houses at s West 9Th st.
40 acres at Harmon, N. Y;
property at Deal Beach, NJ j., and also
Los Angeles, Calf.
The personal property consists of
money credits, wearing apparel and
Jewels. Regarding "the largest lace"
Nine Nordica directed that it be given
to Mrs. E. Romayne Simmons.
The will, dated Jan. 10. 1914, was wit
messed by Sadie Charlotte MacDon-
aid, matron of Torres Strait Hospital
on Thursday Island, where Nine. Nor
dica lay critically Ill. and w. M. Lee
Bryce, Government resident on Thurs
day Island.
Nine. Nordica's interest In the Sc
curities Company recalls the sehsation-
al suit against Mr.. Young gyoytng out
