FIGHT FOR BRITISH ESTATE.
American and Canadian Heirs In
voIved in VIII Case.


London. Jan. "A battle royal
over an estate of s75o,OOO to which
Abraham Davis. of Detroit, is heir
with other claimants in Canada and
London will begin this week before
the probate division of the high
courts.
The estate consists OF real estate
freeholds and personal property left
by Jewish merchant, Isaac Davis,
who died in March, 1913. The feature
OF the case is the large number of
Wills and codicils executed by the
testator which have led to considera-
BILE bewilderment and chaos in the dis
tribution of his fortune.
The last discovered will Is dated
August l, 1912, and IL is around this
document and a codfcfI made onTy
eight days before the testator's death.
both of which affect adversely the
American and Canadian beneficiaries
under earlier willis, that the fight is
to take place.
The public trustee, as executor of
the last will and it's codicil, is asking
for probate which is being hotly con-
tested by the relatives who claim ben
efits under the earlier Wills. They, in
turn, ask the court to admit to pro-
bate a will dated November 20, 1914.
Among the contentious set up by
the defendants is that the will Of
fered by the public trustees is not
the true last will and testament of
Davis. They claim that at the time
of it's execution Isaac Davis was not
of sound mind and had been suffering
from delusions for some time previous.

THE GREAT WHITE WAY
By O. o. M'INTYRE.

(Srecial CorreSpondent Of The washington Herald)
New York. Jan. 23.-Another famous
tenderIoin resort is to be consigned TO
the bourne of hazy memories. The auc-
tioneers have sold the gorgeous trap
pings that were the lure of the Cafe
de rOpera at Forty-second street,
Broadway, and Seventh avenue.
The building is to be razed to make
way for the home of a clothes shop.
The sale dissipated forever the froth OF
one OF Broadway's greatest bubbles
bubble that was pricked by the
spiked tail of full dress" suit, as
they still say in Indianapolis.
1t was the enforced edict when the
Cafe de TOpera opened in December
1909. that no man who did not conform
to the dress chart rules OF the manage
ment should be served after o'clock
in the evening. That Is to say that un-
less you were in evening dress you re-
ceived the rough toss.
The Cafe de rOpera didn't last long
and Louis Martin and the Cafe de
Paris tried to make 1t right with the
long suffering public but the travel
ing salesman could not forget that he
was forced to hire a dress suit or
ANONYMOUSLY get the sack suit dismis-
sal.
Rube MarauRrd and his wife. Bios
som Seeley. the actress, are seen daily
on Broadway these days. Rube has
become one oil the Rialto's fashion
plates and what he wears is considered
quite au fait, as Kid Gleason would
say.
The other afternoon Rube and Mrs.
Rube were at a tea dansant when some
gossip buzzed in with the information
that a prominent moving picture ac-
tresE had just signed a contract for
$4,000 a year.
girl, isn't it?" said Mrs. Marquard.
For a girIT' said Rube. Il consider
it a lot OF money for a regiment"
And yet the critics said that as q
comedian Marquard is a first class ball
player.

haitian and the sacred bull is as emble-
matte of Forty-second and Broadway
as it is of Egypt and thus we come to
THE Fall of Babylon"-the famous
painting that once hung in the old
Hotel Rossmore. The painting has just
been sold.
The old timers remember when The
Fall of Babylon" took thousands of
visitors to the old Rossmore. Those
were the days when all a press agent
had to do to get the names Of his en-
tire chorus on the front page was to
blow a mouthful Of cigarette smoke
into the lobby any afternoon at 2
o'clock and, as the engines puffed and
the girls fiuffed down the escapes, hand
out typewritten statements Of their
Jewel losses.

banged out with angry emphasis.
In what condition would he find
Mr.. Colburn, wondered Helen uneas-
lily. Would he be violent and abus-
i've? Would he resent Warren's in
reference?
Mrs. Colburn, every nerve taut, was
waiting with feverish apprehension
for Warren's return. 1t seemed an
hour before they heard his heavy
step in the hall.
Hes all right" as Helen met him
anxiously. 81 got him to bed; he'll
sleep it off by morning"
did he say anything? Did he send
any message to-her?"
Not word. We didn't talk about
it. He said his nerves had gone back
on him, and he'd been drinking a lit
tic too much. He's not a bad sort.
I'll wager she's one of these hysteri-
cal women-drive any man to drink. "
Warren, that's not true. She's
done everything for him."
Huh, throws fit every time he
has couple of beers. l know the
type. Now here's where l turn in!
I've got to work tomorrow"
With feverish intensity Mrs. Col
burn started up as Helen entered.
"Mr. Curtis has put him to bed. He
said he'll sleep it off-that he'll be all
right in the morning"
oh" with a sob of relief. Then
raising her eyes dark-ringed with suf-
fering. "Do-do you think" faltering-
ly, that ought to go up"
That's something you must decide
for yourself" gently.
"Oh, it's always like this-I always
weaken. I've started to leave him
dozen times-and | always go back.
Even now Pm wondering if he's COW
cred up-if he won't take cold"
81 know, it's the mother instinct
every woman has it. Yes" musingly,
perhaps you'd better go back-you'll
be more content. And after this"
Helen tried to say it hopefully, at may
not happen again"
"Oh, | don't delude myself any
more" with weary bitterness. It'll
happen again. It'll keep on happen
ing, until he"
"You mustn't think that. Some
times just by thinking we No,
keep that robe around you"
Helen followed her to the door, and
waited until she disappeared up the
dimly lit stairs that wound around
the elevator shaft. Then from above
came the faint sound of a closing
door.
When she finally crept into bed
Warren was asleep. She tried not to
awaken him, but he turned over heav-
lily with a muttered, We'll, has she
quieted down."
Dear, she's gone back"
Huh" contemptuously, got over
her heroics, ch? What about her
never going back and all that rot?"
Helen did not answer. Anything
she could say would only arouse his
combativeness, and just now she
shrank from his cynical comments.
As she lay there watching the white
curtain futter out in the darkness, she
was picturing Mrs. Colburn, tucking
the covers about her wine-drugged
husband.
1t was the mother love that had
taken her back-the feeling of his
need of her. Having no children, all
the maternal instinct had gone out to
her husband. And whatever his
drunken brutality, whatever her mo-
mentary rebellion, Helen knew that
instinct would be strong enough to
keep her with him.

attendance of Mrs. Lora Wagner, the
Staten Island school teacher. who was
suspended following the birth Of her
baby. at the Twilight Sleep Association
meeting in the Hotel McAlpin on wednes-
day. 1t is Interesting to learn the views
on this subject. Forty-fye young ladies
who operate the telephone switch boards
at the McAlpin, emphatically declare
against the employing Of married women
who are otherwise supported. They hold
that a woman cannot successfully serve
two masters, that she should either stay
unmarried and bend her efforts toward
improving herself in her chosen work,
or, choosing the married state and
motherhood, she should devote herself
entirely to her home and children.

of the Methodist Episcopal Church for
sixty years.
Mrs. Wray was born in South Carolina,
and was a refugee from the South dur
ing the civil war Her husband was a
Southern soldier and was killed when
Sherman's army marched to the sea.
Mrs. Wrsy and her two sons, then
seven and eight years old, buried all their
foodstuffs and clothing to keep Sher-
mans soldiers from taking them. When
the soldiers were passing the jabbeo
their bayonets and ramrods into the
ground to locate the goods. When Mrs
Wray and her two small sons returned
home all their foodstuffs was gone. The
only article Mrs. Wray found was a blue
silk dress. She then came to Brown
County and had resided here since the
war.
Before her death she asked that she
be buried in the silk dress she had
brought from the South. The dress, al
though sixty years old. Is in good condi-
ton. When Mrs. Wray came to this
county two-thirds of the inhabitants were
Southern sympathizers, and when the
Confederates won their first big battle
hundreds of men gathered on the hill
northeast of town and fired the anvils
all day and night.
