COPELAND REVEALS
MUSICIANLY ART
Pianist Well Within His Powers
in Recital at Aeolian
Hall.

Another WAS added 10 the long list
Of pianists who have favored us this
season when Mr.. Copeland gave a re-
cital in Aeolian Hall yesterday after
rcon. II was a delicate and a must
cianly art that this pianist revealed. il
enc OF no great depth or breadth; the
art Of man who can express the more
subtle colors and nuances of COM
position. IL was but natural that he
was az his best in his Chopin and De-
busy numbers, in which his delicacy
of touch and of feeling was supple
mented by warmth and clarity of tone.
Other numbers on the programme
were the first movement of Mac
Dowell's Sonata Trajica," two selec-
tions of Scarlatti and a group OF Span
ish dances. In all he attempted Mr.,
Copeland was well within his powers,
and his recital was for this reason far
more thoroughly enjoyable than many
others of more pretentious type. An
audience of good size listened with in
terest and sympathetic response.

WILL CUT, RESCUER
CAN'T GET ESTATE
Francis by Mistake Keeps Be-
quest from Wife of Man
Who Saved Him.

By his own act In unintentionally
mutilating his will, the estate Of Isaac
Pickford Francis is diverted from the
man who saved his life and the res
cuer's wife, whom the testator meant to
reward, TO two grandchildren, the heirs
at law.
Francis died in 1910 in New York
Hospital. His own estate was valued
at s8,684. He also had the power of
disposition Of a $4,000 trust fund left
by his father.
William P. Schultz, of 0tsego, n. Y,
was the rescuer. He saved Francis
from drowning in, Otsego Lake many
years before the death of the testator.
Schultz is also dead, but the will Of
Francis provided that in case of the
legatee's death the bequest was TO go
TO his wife, Mrs. Eta l.. Schultz, who
is living.
Francis made his will in 1898 at the
Continental Hotel. A year later he
added a codicil because Of the death OF
a beneficiary, who was 10 receive a
small bequest. Francis reaffirmed his
bequest TO Schultz in the codicil.
After a long search following the
death Of Francis, the will and codicll
were discovered in trunk. 1t was
found that Francis, apparently under
the impression that, having executed a
codicil reafirming the bequest to his
rescuer, the will was no longer Of i'm
portance, cut off the greater part Of his
signature TO il and drew blue line
through the name Of the dead legatee.
A contest was brought in the Surro-
gates Court in behalf of the two
grandchildren, Gerald Webb Bennett,
fifteen years old, and Margaret B. Ben
nett, fourteen years old, of Colorado
Springs. The mutilated will and codicil
were rejected.
