Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by, applying little zemo
large bottle. $l00. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In a short time
usually every trace of pimples, black
heads. rash, eczema, letter and similar
skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making It
vigorously healthy, zemo is an exceptional
remedy. 1t is not greasy, sticky or
watery and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
meut for all skin troubles.

HUNDRED MILLION IN
 HARKNESS' ESTATE
New York Opens Legal Battle for
 Big Tax

New York, April 21.-Lamon Yer the Standard Oil company and second largest stockholder in the concern, who died in California on January IF, 1915 left an estate estimated at more than $10O, O,O0O,0OO. This was indi- cated yesterday when a list of MT. Hardness stock holdings was filed in the Surrogate's court on an applica- tion to determine whether or not MT. Hardness was a resident of New York at the time of his death and therefore subject to a tax here on his extensive holdings.
 Although MT Hardness was more than 75 years old when he died and had been in poor health he left no will. The bulk of his property will go to his son, Harry s. Hardness, and his daughters, Mrs. Lila H. Edwards of .Pittsburg and Mrs. Myrtle K. Ma comber of Patches Rancho, near Hollister, Cal.
 Counsel for Comptroller Travis sought to show through proceedings covering nearly a year and by the
  the decedent's legal residence was in New York, where he had "a town house at 933 Fifth avenue but the Hardness estate contends that his home for many years had been at Walnut Hall farm, near Lexington, Ky, one of the most famous stock breeding farms in America.
 Even the undertaken who con- ducted Mr. Hardness funeral in his house here was called as witness in the case for the purpose of showing that when the decedent's wife died in 1905 the Fifth avenue house was beautifully furnished' whereas at the time of the funeral services for MT. Hardness the houses was bare and the chairs for the funeral party were camp stools furnished by the under takeT.
 The evidence in the case shows that the income tax paid by MT. Hardness estate for 1914 amounted to s5S,035 and counsel for Comp troller Travis contended that the fact that the tax was paid to the revenue collector in San Francisco rather than to the collector for the district in which Mr. Hardness did not re- sard the Walnut Hall farm as his home. Harry S. Hardness, the son, testified that the tax was paid in San Francisco because his father happened to be there at the time
 The schedules filed with the testi- IT ony in the Surrogate's court yes terday did not show the values of Mr. Hardness stocks and bonds be- cause the right of the state to tax these securities must be determined first, but it was said that if the courts held that MT. Hardness was a resident of New York the estate will probably be the largest ever taxed here.

ARMY AV|A7ORS 10
 FLY IN NEW YORK
School Of Training to be Opened
 at Governors Island

New York, April 21.-A plan is on train army flyers at Governors S island. The first inkling of the pro- ject became known yesterday when a brand new Curtiss biplane made it's appearance in the hangar on the island, supplemented by the unofficial information from headquarters that two more, an aeroplane and a hydro aeroplane, are to be brought here within short time.
 Backing the plan are New York men interested in strengthening the aviation arm in the movement for preparedness. P. A. Carroll, a lawyer at 59 Wall street, and w. Redmond Cross of the firm of Red mond & Co.,, are leaders in it. MT. Carroll admitted yesterday that the intention is to form a training school on the island if possible, but added that the plans ar eonly tentative so far.
 The future will depend on a num- Der of things. Governors Island may not be suita able in atm ospheric con-
 
 which case the school may be set up on Hampstead Plain or some other available spot It is understood an attempt is to be made to raise a fund sufficient to pay for the instruction of applicants, who will be chosen on the Plattsburg plan. If this is not a success the school may be run for those who have the means to pay for obstruction.
 The machine now being assembled is a Curtiss JN type military scouting tractor, with a ninety horsepower OK motor. It has a dual control system suita ble for instruction. Steve MagOrdon, ranked among the best of the Curtiss instructors, will come to New York tomorrow from Newport News to test out the machine and also to investigate conditions about the island which may have a bearing or its adaptibility for a school. Either Magordon or Philip A. Bjork- lund. another Curtiss instructor, will be in charge of the school if it is formed.
 The army men at the headquarters of the Department of the East are hea rtily in favor of the plan. It has long been held by them that the re- constructed parade ground. which was built up from the sea, forms the best possible landing and training grounds for a flying school.

BALDWIN DISAGREES
 WITH WILSON'S NOTE
Believes Dispute Should Go to
 Commission Of Investigation

New Haven, April 21-That he is not fully in accord with the admins tration's demands on Germany rela- tive to submarine warfare was indi- cated today by former Governor Sim con t. Baldwin in an interview on the Germany.
 AS he said last week, the former governor believes that there is a. question Of fact over which two gov- ernments differ, and that under the treaty It should go to an international commission for investigation.
 Ex-Governor Baldwin when inter- viewed on the latest phase of the sit u@'loh over German submarine war rare, made this statement;
 'The Hague convention of aO7 nro- Vlded that where two governments could not agree on a question of fact 1t should be referred to an interna- tonal commission of inquiry unless if involved the honor or vital interest of one of the parties.
 Whether the Sussex, British ship, was sunk by a German torpedo or ran into mine is a question of fact I. Germany and the United States on April o offered to let it take the course provided for in the Hague con- VentiOn. Neither the Presidents speech or Secretary Lansing's note re- fers to this offer. I think this puts us in the wrong before the world. It does not concern our national honor In what way vessel of one belIigerent was sunk by some agency created by the other government, nor does it in VolVe our vital interests as to the legal liability of Germany for sinking the Sussex. That depends first whether she sunk it. Germany has stood by the treaty in offering to have that question go to a commission of in Qulry. We have refused to accept the offer, although we were bound as 1 view it by the treaty to accept it. YOu ask me whether severance of diplomatic relations means d state of war. Not necessarily, but 1t would open door to it," he concluded.
 Prof. George Trumbull Ladd today said:
 "As I pointed out in my article in the Sunday Magazine in the Times a week ago, the only remaining alterna- tive was either to sacrifice every con- sideration of honor. duty and safety or else take the very course which the President has taken I am very glad that he has at length taken this course, and I have no doubt that the country will support him in it.
