.HAMMERSTEIN LEFT
100000 ESTATE
Widow, Formerly Sister-in-Law
May Face Legal Tangle
Over Terms of Will.

The will OF William Hammerstein'
theatrical manager, who died June TO- was
fled in the Surrogates' Court yesterday
II is understood that his estate is valued
at 100000.
When Mr.. Hammerstein made his Will
October g. 1910, Mrs. Anna e. Hammer
stein, his widow, was then his sister-in-
law. Her sister had been the first vile
of the manager. and when she died the
present Mrs. Hammerstein was Mrs. MINI
mo. On her devolved the care and bring
ing up Of the two children left by her
sister.
So we'll did she perform this mission
that Mr. Hammerstein left one-third OF
his estate to Mrs. Nimmo and gave one
! third each TO his children, Oscar Ham
mersten and Reginald Hammerstein.
She has been mother to my children
said Mr.. Hammerstein in his will, land
great comfort to me since the death or
my wife" lie also charged his sister-in-
law with the education of the children
after his death and named her their
guardian and trustee under the Will
Then in 1911, Mr.. Hammerstein married
Mrs. Nimmo. AS he had already provided
for the second Mrs. Hammerstein in his
will. he never changed the instrument or
added a codicil.
There is just possibility that the terms
Of the will may have to be set aside, so
far as they apply to the widow. This
contingency is suggested by the fact that
Mrs Hammerstein was one OF the wit
nesses to the will and the law provides
that witness TO q will who is also a
- ~a-1
the amount that he or she would receive
in case of the intestacy OF the deceased n
such witness and beneficiary must help
prove the Will.
However, there are two other witnesses
, TO the document, and the foregoing pro-
vision of the law need not be applied in
this case. II the will can be proved by
witnesses other than Mrs Hammerstein.

MUST PROVE DEATH OF
HEIR MISSING 81 YEARS
Title to Valuable Land Cant Be
Cleared 0therwise-Mur-
der Story Unconfrmed.

Proof of the death Of William Gard
ner, who sailed aboard a packet bound
from New York for Liverpool in 1857
and was never heard from again. and
Of the fact that he was not married
and that he left no heirs, according to a
decision just handed down by Justice
Kelby in the Queens County Supreme
Court, will be necessary TO clear the
title to tracts Of valuable land I'm old
Long Island City, known as the Gard

This decision was the outcome Of a
suit instituted by Miss Mary Jane
Gardner. one Of the Gardner heirs, TO
compel the Consolidated Card Co. of
Manhattan, which has just completed
a 100000 building at Webster and
Fourth avs, Long Island CITY, to COM

insured the land first purchased by the
company, but. when IL came to a search
of the second parcel, the name of the
missing Gardner heir was discovered.
There is an unconhrmed story that a
captain Of a packet was tried in the
Marine Court in New York years ago
for the murder Of Gardner at sea, but
no records Of such trial have been
found.
The missing mans father, John
Gardner. died in 1871, and the farm was

the missing son, the land at the time
being considered of little value. Ac-
cording 10 attorneys, had this interest
been set aside at the time Of the parti-
ton, il would not have amounted to
more than few hundred dollars,
while to-day the entire tract is valued
at about $4,000

Will ARGUE Clubs
RIGHT TO dispense
LIQUOR TOMORROW

Owing to the inability OF Judge Vie
tor b. Woolley to sit in the case, he
having been called out of the city on
business, the case stated against the
Delaware Saengerbund to test the right
of club to dispense liquor to its
members in which argument was sched
uled in County Court to take place
this morning, was postponed until to-
morrow morning.
When the argument takes place to-
morrow the Saengerbund will be repre-
sented by former City Solicitor Rob-
ert G.. Harman and Robert II. Richards,
while Attorney General Josiah o. Vol
colt will represent the State.
Both sides have agreed ON the facts
in order to bring the law before the
court for an Interpretation by the State
judiciary. Judge Churchman in City
Court several months ago in an ex-
haustive opinion decided that clubs had
no right to dispense liquor to their
members or others when there was
any form of charge or payment for
such liquor. He characterized many of
the plans for dispensing liquor In clubs
as subterfuges TO try to evade tn,
law. City Solicitor Hastings made tn,
argument on the winning side in that
case against the political club.
