TIED UP s12,ooo,ooo ESTATE.
Trustees Hold Her Property Until She
Is IS Years Old.

Providence, R. l., March 20.-Lord
Camoys has been eliminated from par
ticipation in the estate of Lady Camoys,
who was formerly Mildred Constance
Sherman, daughter of Mrs. William
Watts Sherman of New York. This
fact has become known through the
filing for official record of the prenuptial
agreement entered into by the English
nobeman and his American wife.
The agreement states that all prop.
erty belonging to Miss Sherman has
been transferred to Frank w. Matteson
and Fletcher $. Mason of Providence,
who are to hold her property in trust
until she reaches the age of So. This,
however, does not affect her personal
property. Until she reaches the stated
age all income is to be paid her from
the estate, and when the trust expires
the property is to be surrendered to her,
In case of her own or Lord Camoys'
death the estate is to go to her heirs or
assigns forever.

Don't Let a Cold

Many cases of Lung Trouble can be

result, has affected the lungs II you

Alternative is most beneficial In such cases
and has been the means Of completely

seemed to give no relief: In fact, seem

Seeking the Man.

Expressing yearning for more bust
ness and less politics in state affairs, the
Burlington (Vt.l Clipper proposes that
Theodore n. Vail of Lyndonyille be
drafted as a non-partisan candidate for
governor. In these benighted regions
we should refer to Mr.. Vail as president
of the American Telephone g. Telegraph
company, but to Vermonters that $780,.
900 position is incidental to his resi-
dence in the Green Mountain state. Al
though he is not native of the state,
Mr.. Vail is, according to the enthusiastic
Clipper, "a true-bue Vermonter, proud
of her noble past and optimistic for her
great future" His large business in
terests, it is related, often take him TO
many parts of the world, but whether
Won find him at the Ritz-Carlton in Lon
don or the Palace in San Francisco, you

Mr.. Vail, doubtless, would make a
most acceptable governor of Vermont.
He gave the Vermonters some advice

AUTO TRUCK PROVED WORTH.
Saved Children's Home in Burlington
from Destruction.

Burlington, March 20.Fire in the
cellar of the laundry building OF the
Home for Destitute Children on the
Shelburne road yesterday caused con-
siderable damage which might have been
greater but for the swift run made by
the auto truck to the scene of the blaze,
A telephone call was sent to station
No. in the vicinity of IL o'clock and
the auto truck from stations and 5
responded to the scene of the blaze.
Considering the condition of the roads
the LaFrance truck made remarkable
run, in less than three minutes from the
time of the call water having been
turned on the blaze. The distance is
two miles and three tenths. Two
streams and the chemical was directed
on to the flames which had gained con-
siderable Roadway, and owing TO the
difficulty in getting at the fire the fire.
men were forced TO fight for nearly an
hour before the blaze was subdued and
the building saved.
1t is thought. that an overheated fur
mace or steam pipes along the wood
work, was the cause of the blaze. The
damage was confined to the cellar and
is covered by insurance.

Gently which made decided hit. Yet
it is hardly possible that he could give
up his great financial responsibilities
even TO set state on the highway to
prosperity. But we would not have the
Vermonters despair in their desire for
business governor. One of the distin-
guished sons of the state has just had
three years experience in governing.
Failing to get Mr.. Vail, would not the
sterling citizenry from the Green Noun
tains do well to send a delegation to
Jamaica Plain and bid our newest ex-
governor to go and reign over them?--

FIGHT WAGED
ALL NIGHT LONG
Majority Finally Bows to
Will Of the Admin
istration

indianapolis, March 20.--After an all.
night session, the resolutions committee
of the Democratic state convention
adopted a statewide primary law plank
at 5 a. m. yesterday. This action was
taken on the firm demand of Senators
Kern and Shiyely and Congressman
Barnhart, Cullop and Adair, and was OPP
posed by majority of the Is commit
teemen until the last moment. When
this action was taken, Mayor Joseph Il.
Bell of indianapolis, chairman of the
committee, is said to have declared:
"The members of this committee have
been made the pail bearers of the Demo-
cratic party in Indiana"
Mayor Bell made public statement
after the adjournment of the committee.
He said.
"0nly one member deemed the sweep
ing primary plank advisable. This plank
was, however, strongly urged by Senator
Kern, Senator Shively and Congressman
Cullop, Barnhart and Adar. Rather
than appear disregarding the wishes of
the administration we included this
plank. 1t is practically as President
Wilson desired it,"
The committee refused to indorse
woman suffrage.
Thomas Taggart, Democratic national
committeeman, has controlled the reso-
buttons committee, and the action of the
committee yesterday is taken to mean
that Taggart bowed to the national adj
ministration in its wish for state-w wide
primary plank. Taggart was in close
touch with the committee throughout
the night,

the coming summer at date far enough
in advance of the usual convention dates
to enable the Legislature to deal def
nitely with the question and provide the
of such law. The remoteness of this
possibility, however, leads naturally to
the opinion that the old order of things
may be followed, ad libitum, till the
netting OF the legislature in regular SEES
sion next January.
The people evidently want to try out
a direct primary measure. The next
move belongs to the present legislature

chosen at the state election next Novem-

POLITICS IMPERIL NEXT WEEKS
PRIMARY

by the fight between the Sullivan fac
ton and the Reconsideration camp.
This was the opinion expressed today
by a prominent Democratic office
holder.
Attorneys for the Deneen Republ-
cans have applied to Judge Heard for
an injunction restraining Judge
Owens and the election commission
ers from issuing the rotation ballot.
Heard has already expressed the
opinion that Owens exceeded the law
in ruling for a rotation ballot. But
if he issues an Injunction to that eff
feet, Owens will ignore it, according
to his own statement. -...
But Heard has said that the pri-
marylaw doesn't call for the rotation
system on county ballots. And the
logical aftermath of any defiance on
the part Of Owens would be citation
for contempt.
That would necessitate the usual
prolonged court fight with the SUI
preme court as the logical finale.
There, it is believed by several, the
entire primary would be thrown into
the ash heap.
