PROPERTY OF OLD SEA ROVER
DISPOSED OF By WILL s15
YEARS AGO.
LEGAL HEIRS LONG
in FULL POSSESSION
Estate At Present Not Large and Not
in Dispute or Litigation, as Grafters
in Iowa CIaim-Des Moines Officials
Receive Copy of Will and Results OF
lnvestia alton by London Times.

Des Moines, June o2.-From out OF
the maze Of antiquity, three hundred
years back in "ye goode old tyne to-
day came the will of Admiral SIR
Francis Drake, knight, circumnaviga :
tor and explorer, to aid the state IN ITS
prosecution of Mrs. Sudie B. WHIT
taker, who claims to be heir TO ms
,ordship and part owner OF S4oo, ooe, :
600 estate left by the famous old sea
rover and who has been arrested Tor
her activity in inducing others to pur-
chase relationship to her esteemed pro-
genitor.
George A. Wilson, county attorney,
has been furnished copy of the VIII
and a report of an investigation con-
Quoted some time ago by the London
Times into the claim that a large por-
ton of the city of Plymouth, Engand,
rightfully belongs to American heirs OF
Sir Francis.
What the Times Found.
Mr.. Wilson says the investigation
conducted by the Times shows the fol-
lowing in denial of the claim made by
Mrs Whitaker.
F'irst-That the estate of Sir Francis
Drake presumably passed to the helrs
under the will 315 years ago.
Second-That the present value OF
the estate is not known and can not
be estimated but probably is not
arge.
Ihird-That there is no litigation
pending for the settlement and dis
ribution of the estate.
Fourth-That there are not any heirs
known to be in the United States.
The most important of these reVela-
tons, according to Mr. Wilson, is the
claim that the estate is not now IN ltl-
CATION. Mrs. Whitaker, it is alleged.
has represented to purchasers OF stock
in the Drake estate that she is winding
UP eighteen years of litigation IN the
English courts and that the funds she
is soliciting now are to pay the ex-
pense Of the final court fight to prove
her right and the right Of other heirs
in the estate. Des Moines investors
are to reap their reward, it is claimed,
as soon as the final details are ad-
justed. in about three months.
Probably Fictitious.
The Times gives its opinions OF
numerous quests for English fortunes
in the following terms:
"All the stories of long-lost uncles
and great fortunes awaiting missing
heirs may safely be assumed to be flc-
titious and probably be supposed to be
concocted with fraudulent intent"
When he departed this life, Sir
!, Francis made ample provisions for his
relatives, but said nothing OF American
descendants. Extracts from his will
follow:
Admiral Sir Francis Drake, knight,
circumnavigator and, explorer, who
died on board his ship. '"The De-
f1ance," of Porto Bello, on the 2sth
January 10, 1856. made his will be-
