RUSSIANS AND RUNAN|ANS
WERE FORCED TO RETREAT
HUNDREDS WANT SOME
OF HETTIE GREEN'S MONEY
tBy Associated Press. J

New Bedford, Mass. Oct. 21.-Claim-
ing relationship to the late Mrs Het-
ty H. Green, "the richest woman in
the world" hundreds of people all
ever the United States have been
writing to the trustees of the Sylvia
Ann Rowland estate demanding a
share in the Howland fortune. This
estate, amounting to about $780,
600, released for distribution by the
death of Mrs. Green, who had a life
interest therein, is to pass to the
lineal descendants of Gideon How
land, Of Dartmouth, Mass, erandfa-
ther Of testatrix. Claimants are
springing up daily from every State
in the Union, but they are doomed
to disappointment, inasmuch as there
is no foundation for their claims.
The trustees have the complete list
of the heirs, who are 1876 in number,
embracing every person who can be
included, and have notified all of
them in regard to the coming dis
tribution Although hundreds of
others who bear the names of the in
heriting families have written to the
trustees, all attempts to add to tho
list are proving futile, because of the
thoroughness and accuracy with
(which the genealogy of the Howlands
has been compiled Entanglements
such as fiction likes to build around
the inheritance of a great estate dc
not exist in the Rowland case. The
heirs are scattered throughout thu
country
Despite a common belief that Gid
con Rowland and Mrs. Hetty Greer
were descendants of John Howland
one of the Mayflower Pilgrims, tht
ancestral line clearly shows tha
Ithey belong to another branch of the
numerous Howland family.

tined stock after same have been un-
loaded, but occasionally car gets
away from the inspectors and then
the government is put to lot of
trouble locating it to have 1t re-
turned. Once in while car gets
away entirely, and DR.. Nighbert
relates the experience of promi
pent cattle breeder who was showing
a large string of pure bred stock at a
circuit of fairs He carried several
surplus animals for the purpose of
selling them, and had reduced his
travelling herd by several head when
some one found a Texas fever tick
on one of his cows.
The government was notified at
cnce and after lot of wiring, dis
covered that his stock had been trav
cling in stock car which had not
been disinfected after Quarantined

dropping out of the cars along the
railroad right of way while the cat
tie are in transit, and If free stock
happens to get onto the right Of way
where there are a colony of seed
ticks, it is very easy for infection of
free stock to take place, and then
the trouble begins, for free stock are
very susceptible to Texas fever.
The solution of that problem seems
to be dipping of cattle before they
can be shipped to any market. When
that is done the cattle in quaran-
tined areas will be under greater
handicap than they are at present,
which emphasizes the necessity for
quickly cleaning up all of Florida,
so our cattle can go anywhere with
out restriction, and then we will be
able to import better breeding stock
freely to build up the quality of our
own cattle.
Relative to the local handling of
tick-infested stock for interstate
shipment, DR.. Nighbert says: "All
interstate shipments of cattle will be
facilitated by the government
through the local bureau office.
"Non-infectious pens and dipping
facilities in connection with the In
terstate Stock Yards will be estab-
lished. This means that cattle may
move from this point throughout the
United States, under certification of
the government.

BRIZON FAVORS CALLING
OFF THE DOGS OF WAR
(By Associated rress.)

Paris, Oct. 81 Pierre Brizon, tho
Socialist deputy, who recently called
upon Premier BRAND "to stop thu
war;" and gave the premier occasion
to deliver in the Chamber one of the
most eloquent speeches of his ca
reer, is not taken seriously in France,
but some portions of the address he
delivered in opposing the war cred
it's are interesting He is one of the
three dissident Social deputies who
met number of German Socialists
during the war in conference in
| Switzerland. In the course of his at
tempt in the Chamber to arrive at a
calculation of what the war costs, he
said:
How many men shall we have
lest at the end of the war? ] have
said that it will last another year
still, at least with the policy of Mon
,sieur BRAND. Supposing that, at the
end of the war, France has a million
end half of men killed. Going back
to our calculation of the value OF
their work and taking an average ot
,33 years of effective labor for each
man, we reach the sum of 100000
francs for each individual. Multi
Iply 100000 by million and a half,
and you obtain $50 million francs as
the economic value of the French
men who will have been killed dur
ing the war.
! Thus we have the three figures:
20 billions and more public expendi-
lures at the present time in year
more 80 billions more, making to-
tai of 80 billions for public eXpen-
ditures. Let us estimate five bill
lions for the reparation of war dam
ages. making 50 billions, to which
we must add our old debt, that we
are TOO likely to forget in these days,
of 30 billions, which makes Is bill
lions. There is the gulf that is to
be filled in actual cash, which, added
to the 120 billions of economic loss
brings the cost of the war up to 3l3
to 32O billions to France
"War is a business, . cried Monsieur
Brizon at this point, provoking eX-
clamations from all parts OF the
Chamber.
Eyes. in the capitalistic period in
which we have lived for century
mast wars, colonial wars, and the
present war is nothing but business.
"Now business is treated in a busi-
ness way, intelligently, prudently,
with clear eyesight upon the future
Instead of giving the blood Of his
country If Monsieur BRAND could OBJ
tain the result that we wish to at
tain-yictory, according to you, or
national independence that we all oil
MS want-by negotiating or through
intermediates, we can, and we
ought. to negotiate. Before having
arrived at absolute, positive proof
that any peaceful solution is impos-
sibIe. we have not the right to con-
.;nue to throw, without counting, the
peoples billions into the abyss and
masses of men under the drum-fire

Watson NJ. washburn ard Dear
Mathey. two of Americas leading tennis
players. we're treated to a rather un-
pleasant surprise In an exhibition doubles
match Mt the Heights Casino In Brooklyn
yesterday afternoon. Washburn ard
Mathey were defeated by Alrlck II. Man.
Jr.. one time leader OF the Yale tennis
forces. and Harry McNeal. professional at
the Casino. The score was SO, Go.
g.. G.,
II had been expected that Washburn
and Mathey would have nc trouble In
~disposing of their rivals. but the all ANA
teur combination was of form and
showed the lack OF work. Howcvcr,
Man and McNeal played splendid tennis.
Thu floor and the opposing teams style
just suited Mans mode OF attack.
The defeat of washburn n Mathey
was all the more surprising In view of
the official ranking list which was issued
last week. Washburn was rated seventh
and Mathey tenth. II WAS quite a feat
for Mar and the professional to defeat n
combination from among the ranking ten.
Washburn and Mathey made a fine
start. but they were soon forced to
slacken their gait. Washburn seemed to
ne bothered 10y the light. Once Man and
McNea! got going there was no stopping
them. Everything they tried seemed TO
work. Their passing shots sped by
Washburn and Mathey for repeated
points.
When Man came up TO the net-which
was very frequent-he made an assault
that would not be denied. II Is likely
that Washburn and Mathey will he given
II chance To even the score later In the
season.
The second OF a series of exhibitions
at the Casino will be staged on January
