WILL INTERPRET
AMOS ENO'S WILL
Court Attempting to Find If 100000 OF
s7.OOOyOOO Was Intended for
Columbia University.

New York, May Whether the late
Amos E. Emo intended to leave $780,
900 or more than 100000 to Colum-
bia university by his will of June IS,
1915 is the question before the Surro-
gate today in a will contest begun by
heirs over the division of his estate,
estimated to be worth from $4,000, 900
to s19,000,0 900. Mr. Emo left four wills
in the last of which he bequeathed his
residuary estate to Columbia.
His heirs asserted he did not know
the extent of his fortune and that he
believed he was giving the university
less than 100000. They also contend
that Mr.. Emo was not mentally in a
condition to know how to dispose of
his estate.
The heirs who are contesting 1t are:
William P. Emo, Mrs. Antoinette E.
Wood, Mary E Pinchot, Clifford Pin
chot, Amos r. Z. Pinchot, Professor
Henry Lane Emo and Lady Antoinette
Graves. Each received a substantial
sum under the will they are contesting
but was remembered to much larger
degree in a will drawn by Mr.. Emo in
1914.

.CERARD'S REPORT
EXPECTED HOURLY
Washington Officials Think It May
Forecast Reply OF Germany to
Submarine Protest.

Berlin, May AT least another
days deliberations at headquarters
may be expected before the German
answer to the American note is de-
cided on.
This is deduced from the fact that
Ambassador Gerard telegraphed last
night. 1t was uncertain when he would
be able to return to Berlin. Mr. Ger
ard is the guest of Emperor William
at meals.
Washington, May 1.-Secretary Lans-
ing said today he had no new dis
matches from Germany bearing on the
submarine situation and that Ambassa-
dor Gerard had not reported on his
conference with Emperor William. A
report from Gerard is expected hourly
and officials think it probably will fore
cast the Germany reply.
Information received from German
sources is TO the effect that the Berlin
government has been considering re-
nIying 10 the American demand for the
immediate abandonment of present
methods of submarine warfare with an
offer to have its submarines operate
at least temporarily only as cruisers,
against enemy merchant ships. Ger
man officials are said to have expressed
themselves as being favorable toward
the pIan. The state department, so far
as is known, has no information on
the subject.
If the German reply has been draft
cd official information on the subject
is lacking. That a note will be sent
by Berlin, in preference to instructions
To Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, is considered in German
quarters 10 be certain. 1t is known
that the latter method of procedure at
one time was considered by the Ger
man government. The idea was said
tn have been abandoned. however, be-
cause German officials in Berlin felt
a note would serve all purposes more
completely.
There is no definite information here
regarding the time when the reply may
be expected.

Washington, May Another move

10000 Men
Agreed Upon
in Army Bill

Washington, May IA regular
army of 100000 men at peace strength
has practically been agreed upon by
senate and house conferees on the
army bill. With the plans for expan-
sion as provided in the bill which has
passed the senate this would produce
an army of about 100000 men in war
strength. The bill as it passed the
senate fixed the peace strength at $780,
900 men.
The agreement on the size of the
army is tentative and depends upon
settlement of other features of the
bill still in dispute. 1t was urged by
the conferee that there should at least
be a tentative basis for the size before
they could make any progress on de-
tails.
A $2000,000 appropriation for aero
nautics was agreed to today by the
house naval committee The building
program will not be taken up until

having a cargo of war supplies, was
caught in the ice of the White Sea with

remaining. they set forth on an S0-mile
trip across the ice. A heavy blizzard
set in and the party soon became scat
