unable to make the woman change her
testimony. She denied she had snapped
a pistol at her husband as testlned by
the witness Webster, or that she had
thrown a plate at Milstead. The snap
ping of the pistol did not occur. she

She thought he was with his sister
during the sojourn at Colonial Beach,
and did not complain that he was with
other women there. She admitted that
her husband did not attempt to take
the pistol from her when she reached

bolster on the bed
Mrs. Milstead broke down before the
courtroom was cleared. but took up the

FIGHTS FOR CONTROL
OF $450,0O0 ESTATE
Mrs. Francis E. Mayer Files Suit in
Equity Against Trust
Company.

Suit in equity was instituted today
by Mrs Frances E. Mayer, widow and
administrators of the estate of her hus-
band. Theodore A. Mayer, who died
April 4, 1915, against the American Sc
curity and Trust Company. trustee. un-
der the estate of Theodore J. Mayer
the father Of her husband. Named as
co-defendants with the trustee are six
individual legatees and twelve charita-
BILE institutions. which were to benefit
under the will of the elder Mayer in
certain contingencies. The estate in
controversy is said to be worth $450,000
Mrs. Mayer claims that the provisions
of the will offend against the law OF
perpetuities. in that they provide for a
trusteeship until her husband should
have reached the age of forty-eight
years and until his offspring should at
tain the age of twenty-seven years. The
whole estate, except certain legacies
which have been paid. Mrs. Mayer
claims, should be surrendered by the
trust to her as administrators of her
husbands estate and as guardian Of her
daughter, Frances Hitz Mayer who was
born February 4, 1915.
Right to Marry Question.
The younger Mayer was divorced by
his first wife several years ago and one
Of the legal propositions to be involved
in the proceedings is expected to be his
right to marry again under the law OF
the District Of Columbia. 1t is stated
by the wife's petition that after his di-
vorce Mr.. Mayer moved to Virginia and
there secured legal residence and re-
sided there until his death. The mar
riage occurred in Pennsylvania. it is
stated.
Among the charities that would bene-
fit in case the contention of the petition
fails are Children's Hospital, Homeop-
athic Hospital, Washington City Or
phan Asylum. George Washington
University Hospital, Gospel Memorial
Hospital, German Orphan Asylum
Washington Home for Incurables, Aid
Association for the Blind. Washington
Home for Foundlings, Emergency Hos
pital. Casualty Hospital and the Rup-
pert Home. Each institution would Sc
cure not less than 100000 under the
distribution, it is suggested.

ulose is a vegetable product that has many commercial
uses entering the manufacture of celuoid gunco

These are the figures experts gave in estimating
earnings but have contened ourselves with the
figures shown here and which based NET PROF
1T OF ONLY $40 PER TON.
Some idea of this enormous industry may be gained
from the fact that 100000 tons of Bagasse per
year be secured and this is Bagasse than we
will ever be able TO at the end of five years Of
expansion when we will have 4s mills in operations each
using 300 tons of Bagasse per day and with annual
earning of S43 100000
BY way OF illustration ton of Bagasse will produce
$50 pounds OF paper pulp that mill using 300 of
Bagasse day will produce only S2 of pulp Op-
Grating this mill 800 days per year will produce 24.75O
tons Of pulp annually and if so mills being operated
on the basis the entire production of paper pulp
would be only l237500 tons and there we're 100000
tons of papers used last year the United States alone
There will be any danger of producing much TO
supply the demand. Ample storage facilities are pro-
vided that the Bagasse may be obtained during the
pressing and held in warehouses keep the
mills IN operation the year round.
