CONTEST FOR ECKERT
MILLIONS ABANDONED
Two Sons of Former Western
Union President to Get
Equal Shares.

The two SONS OF the late Gen. Thomas
Thompson Eckert, for many years presi-
dent Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company. will get equal shares Of his
estate, amounting TO millions, which
has long been In litigation.
Thomas 7. Eckert. Jr- who was to
receive nine-tenths of the esta's under
his fathers Will, has given up his
fight 10 uphold the Will and consented
to a division OF the estate on practically
an equal basis with his brother. James
Clendenin Eckert. Thomas T Eckert
has withdrawn his appeal to the Court
OF Appeals from the unanimous decision
of the Appellate Division of the Su-
preme Court. which upheld the verdict
multiplying the will. on the ground that
IL had been executed under the undue
influence OF Thomas T. Eckert, Jr..
the chief beneficiary. aid i by Richard
u, Page, an attorney.
Henry NJ. Earle OF Earle & Russell,
who represented James Clendenin Eckert
before Surrogate Cohalan in the contest
Of the will, admitted yesterday that an
almost equal division OF the estate VIII
result from the abandonment of the
night. wnich has been one of the most
sensational will contests in recent years.
Mr.. Earle would not say what was
to be lone regarding the other requests
In the will aside from those TO the sons.
II was conceded In the proceedings that
the Eckert estate was worth at least
$3.50. 900. II included a large amount
OF stock in the Western Union Telegraph
Company. Gen. Eckert died on october
90, 1910. in his ninety-third year.

ISSUES A WARNING ON
CRUCIBLE STEEL STOCK
II. s. Wilkinson Says Violent
Advance Of Common Is
Not Justified.

SYRACUSE, July 1S.-Horace S. Wilkin-
son. a member Of the executive COM
mittee of the Crucible Steel Company
of America, issued a warning tonight
against the purchase OF the common
stock of the company. His statement
was issued following a request for an
opinion concerning the violent advance
in the shares on .he New York Stock
Exchange. The statement in part fol-
lows:
Year before last the Crucible steel
Company made n proht Of almost
100000. Last year the company made
about 1000, 900 and was obliged to sus-
pend Its preferred dividend. This year
tho company will make not to exceed
to 50. 500. 900. IT requiring si.75o.ooO TO
pay It's preferred dividends.
There Is outstanding In unpaid scrip
and accumulated dividends on preferred
stock. $4,000 The company is guar
auteeing s1,s00.00 Of bonds and In ad-
d!,ion has $4,000. 900 to $4,000, 900 Of
bonds outstanding on its subsidiary COM
pInies.
with large expenditures necessary to
finish its new plants G%ncludlnr that In
Syracuse) I can see no reason why the
common toe Of the company should be
able to pay dividends fer a good many
years or be worth It's present selling
price.
The ommon stock Is In the hands OF
people who evidently intend to hand 4, TO
others at the highest price at which II
can be sold and this evidently is the
reason for the large misstatements made
about war order contracts"

The filing Of claims a~ggregating sIo-

president Of the Long Island Railroad
and chairman Of the committee, yester-

Mr.. Peters said that he had not had
a chance to look over the briefs in the
cases and was consequently not coinpe-
tent to discuss them. He was unable to-
estimate the total amount that would
accrue to the railroads II the claims were
sustained. The railway mail pay com-
mittee represents 30 per cent. OF the rail-
roads Of the country.
In a circular issued by his committee
IN 1913. however. 1t was estimated tina;
a fair payment to the railroads for the
actual cost Of the service would result

WAR RAISES LIVING
PRICES IN EUROPE
Cost Of Necessities Increases
and Unemployment Ag-
gravatcs Hardships.
FOOD SUPPLY CONSERVED

WAsHiNGroN, July 1S.-The effect OF
the war upon the cost OF living In Europe
and the steps taken by the different
Governments to meet the situation have
been Investigated by the Department OF
Labor and made the subject of an In
teresting bulletin. The Departments
inquiry shows that the war has caused
an increase In the cost Of living through
out Europe. but that this Increase has
varied greatly according to local condi-
tons. In the main the greatest rise has
been In the price OF necessities.
The information on which the Labor
Departments report is based was OBJ
tanned by United States Consuls. The
prizes and methods of eighteen countries
were studied.
The report shows that the first effect
of the war was the same practically
throughout Europe. The wars outbreak
was followed by a sharp rise In prices,
due mainly to panic n uncertainty
In some countries legislative measures
were taken at once TO check the rise,
In others the Government strictly adj
hered TO n hands of policy and trusted
To the natural course OF events for re-
adjustment. within a fortnight the first
panic was over and except In the actual
war zone prices began TO fall. In most
places. however, prices did not drop 70
the July level and after al interval
again took an upward turn. The bulletin
continues.
"Flour on the other hand showed de
cided changes. Russia is the creates,
wheat exporting country Of Europe, and
the wal practically shut off It's foreign
markets. II Is not surprising. therefore

 EXPERIENCE HARD
 TIME IN EAST END
Ancient Art of Wiping Joints Differs Somewhat on
 Bridgeport Job.

Hundreds of sightseers in automo- piles, in carriages or walking, visited the sites in the East End yesterday where the Remington -Arns-U. M. C. Co. is building a large number of houses. Twenty-two houses of brick are nearly completed there and the rapid manner in which they are being constructed is a revelation in building methods to contractors.
 The company building the houses wants more workmen but with the working force it now has a cellar is dug each day and next day the foun- dation of the cellar is completed. Then as the brickIayers rapidly put up the walls, one force of carpenters lays the floor beams, another force lays the floors and cuts the holes fir the ofur- 1ace pipes, etc. Still another does the trimming All work at the same time but no workman interferes with another.
 The brick houses already under con- struction are all designed for two fam flies but no two houses are alike in de- sign except in the arrangement of the rooms. Each rent has three rooms, living room. dining room, kitchen and pantry on the ground floor, and each has three sleeping rooms with bath on the second floor. There is attic space under the roof
 The hodses are designed to be light  ed by electricity with a gas range in each kitchen and an illuminating gas jet for each Kitchen. The plumbing g contractor has had most difficulty in procuring workmen. Plumbers who have come here from New York have had difficulty in keping situations Most Of them have had little or no ex- perience in wiping joints on the lead water pipes which are used here. In New York city cast iron pipes are used
 It is not considered economical to use. cast iron pipes here because the water here corFodes iron pipes very quickly and their 1ifeis only about five years, where as the lead pipes never give out. In New York; the water, because it contains entirely different mineral qualities, does not corrode iron pipes.
 While it has been said that the houses that are. constructed will be rented to employees of the Arms com pany only, it is now said they will be rented to >any one who desires them regardless of whether he has employ ment at the Arms company or not. The houses will also be offered for sale as soon as completed.

Rome, Nov. 15.-The following off cial statement was issued today at the headquarters of the Italian general staff:
 s''In the Ledro Valley from the slopes of Nozzolo from Montest Pari, CimadOro and ROccettet, enemy art1l- leIy' opened an intense fire against our positions, also throwing infammable shells on Bezzecco and Pieve Ii Ledro without, however, damaging our solid q lenses.
 On the Tyro1-Trentino front and in Carnia there were no important devel- opments.
 "Onz the Isonzo front our action con tinued yesterday. We progressed on Javoreck7 in the Plezzo Basin and on the heights northwest of Gorizia On the Carso Plateau we have taken strong -entrenchnents called Delle Frasche, to southwest of San Martina Our aeroplanes, the 10th, ~notwith standing bad weather, made successful raids over the CarsC. They bombarded the stations at sReifenberg, San Dan 1ele, Syope and Dottog1ino and long lines of trains standing at the sta tions. The enemy machines which were met on the way, were put to fightes by machine gunfire Our ma chimes returned undamaged.'
