Fee To Be $4,000.

Bellows Falls, VI, July 22.-It was
estimated in legal circles here tonight

Pierson, of New York, representing
Mrs. Green's son, Colonel Edward Fl.
R. Green, agreed tonight upon ten

cred that this fee is an indication Of

Colonel Green is now sole executor
of the estate, since it was announced
to-day that his sister, Mrs. Matthew
Astor Wilks, had declined formally to
act as executrix with him, as directed
BY the will. The Probate Court to-day
admitted the will to probate without
opposition.
No charities or public in titutions
benefited under the will of Ms. Green.
EXCEPT for a few relatively mall be-
quests, the estate goes to her son,
Colonel E. H. R. Green, and her daugh,-
ter, Mrs. Matthew Asto- Wilks. 1t is
specifically provided that the trustees,
Colonel Green and his sister, shall not
be required to file an inventory or sp-
praisement of the estate.
The will was probated without con-
test. Colonel Green filed a bond of
$50. 900 as trustee of the fund left TO
his sister, and Edward L. Walker and
Charles E. Capron, of Bellows Falls,
were appointed commissioners of the
estate.
Those outside of the family to re-
ceive beouests are Mrs. Herbert P.

Baltimore, July 22.-The German
submarine Deutschland, despite almost

night.
Reports, believed to be substantial,
that her clearance papers were filed

End Comes to Beloved
Rhymester of Hoosiers at
Home in indianapolis.

Indianapolis, July 22.-James Whit
comb Riley, the Indiana poet, died this
evening.
Mr.. Riley suffered from the e1-
treme heat all to-day, but was thought
TO be resting easy tonight He asked
his nurse for a drink Of water at ii
o'clock. When she returned with it
he was dead.
Death was due to stroke Of
paralysis.
James Whitcomb Riley was the poet
of the plain, everyday American. No
poet of his time had a greater hold
upon the affections Of the people of
this country. Many who were his most
ardent worshippers never had had any
use at all for poetry until he began TO
pour out his quaint old-fashioned
songs, using as his themes the simple
little things which appealed to him and
which he was sure also would appeal to
them.
He reflected the life of his kind. The
material he worked with was that he
found about him on every hand. The
streets of his native town, the dingy
little cottages, the gardens, weedy and
gone to seed; the young couples saun--
tering along the narrow sidewalk and
the laugh of the children at play.
These formed his material.

SHOT FIRED IN
U=BOAT HUNT
British Cruiser Uses
Gun-Bremen Said
to Be Near.
tBy Telegraph 20 The Tribune.

Norfolk, Va, July pa British
cruiser patrolling of Virginia Beach
fred a she'll across the bow Of some
vessel this morning. The incident
caused much excitement among hun
dreds of summer colonists who saw
the warship as she turned Immediately
after the report of her gun and dashed
full speed out to sea.
Some who witnessed to-day's incl
dent off Virginia Beach said she came
to a halt and evidently investigated the
status Of the craft she had halted and
that the ship was allowed to proceed.
Others insist that the warship con-
tinued to race out to sea and disap-
pesred.
Say Bremen Was Sighted.
There are some who believe that the
warship sighted the German undersea
merchantmen Bremen and fired shot
across her bow as signal TO surren-
der, but that the U-boat Immediately
submerged and made getaway. Naval
experts scout this theory, declaring
that the Bremen, if she is already off
the Capes, will not attempt to enter
the bay before nightfall.
From the same source that told two
weeks ago of the approach Of the
Deutschland came a prediction to-day
that the Deutschland's sister ship, the
Bremen, would pass in the Virginia
Capes before Monday.
There was no official authority for
the news, but it spread quickly and
generally was credited. Soon after
nightfall several vessels, some Of them
carrying newspaper correspondents and
photographers, started for Cape Henry
through a heavy rainstorm, hoping to
witness the arrival of the undersea
craft. IL was believed that If the boat
reached the coast during the night she
would head in Immediately. AS the
storm made conditions most favorable,
she was expected to 60 directly to Bal
timore, stopping only to pick up
Maryland pilot.
Ingenious Theory Advanced.
According to theories advanced to-
day, the Bremen and the Deutschland
will act in unison, as follows:
The Deutschland, which is expected
down from Baltimore early to-mor-
row, will boldly proceed TO the Capes
and remain there in full view Of the
Allied warships. Under cover Of dark
ness the Bremen is TO run in past these
ships, while submerged, and will quiet
ly come up alongside Of her sister
ship. simultaneously the Deutschland
will submerge and dash to sea. The
U-boats being exact counterparts, it Is
claimed that the British cruisers will
not detect that the Deutschland has
moved. Giving the Deutschland sew
eral hours start, the Bremen will then
enter the bay and proceed to Balti-
more.
Agents of the Bremen are also re-
ported 70 be cruising off the Capes to-
day, keeping an eye on the Allied war
ships and reporting for the benefit Of
the Deutschland, and possibly the Bre-
men.
The belief is general here that the
Bremen is either just of the Capes or

FRANKS LAND HIM IN JAIL
Peter Scheutten, California Boy, Said
He Was Emulating HuckIe-
berry Finn.

San Rafael, Calm an attempt, he
said, to emulate Huckleberry Finn,
Peter Scheutten, the seventeen-year-
old son of Mrs. Peter Scheutten of
Santa Venetia, became so troublesome
that he was sentenced to serve 60 days
in the county Jail. That was three
weeks ago, after Peter had painted
the family COW so as to resemble
zebra, thrown rubber down the Chin
ney, placed salt in the sugar bowl
and fed the horse sawdust instead of
bran.
On recommendation of Justice of
the Peace w. f. Magee, who sem
fenced him, Peter was admitted to
parole recently. Within an hour after
he was liberated Peter had smeared
mustard on his mothers pillow, sold
her $50 deer hound for % cents and
bought candy with the quarter, picked
a live chicken and removed a bolt
from the family buggy, so that it col
lapsed when his mother started for
drive.

FISH REASON, SAYS THIS MAN
Declares Salmon Tell Each Other
About Dirty Water and Egg
Stripping.

Bangor, Me-Stephen Decatur
Bridges of Verona, near Bangor, who is
llnow3 as tns salmon and ale-wife king
of the Penobscot, is positive not only
that fish have brains, but that fish
reason and form ideas and dislikes,
and tell their opinions to each other.
Bridges explains the disappearance
of salmon from the Penobscot in two
ways-either salmon tell other sal
mon how dirty it's waters are and how
it is not fit for any respectable sal
mon to live in," or "the fish resent it
because at the hatchery in East Or
land they are taken from the water
and stripped of thde -rgs."

against nature" hfr. Bridges asserts.

treated right and stay away"

Mae Desmond wearing new Ora One
gown with silhouetted velvet birds on
bare back and shoulders.
Mae Desmond has a back of very
marked beauty. When Ora One, prin-
cipal of the School of Millinery of
the Woman's institute of New York,
saw this beautiful back she decided
to create gown of which the decol-
letage at the back would be the
marked feature.
This feature-the silhouetted birds
was suggested to the designer by
Maeterlinck's Blue Bird" The birds
are of velvet and are pasted on the
arms and back. Rhinestone eyes for
the birds add brilliancy while the out
spread wings hug closely to the arms
and back.
The gown itself is most remarkable.
1t Is of Balmasque velvet that falls
gracefully and drapes artistically.
having sufficient weight in the body of
the material not only to cling firm
ly to the body but to adjust itself in
flowing lines to the floor. The. square
of which the front is formed is split
from one corner to the bust line, after
which the points are rolled back simu-
lating lapels. The gown at the back
is held across the shoulders by eight
cords made of velvet.
The Cleopatra headdress is fash
toned after those worn by the Egyp-
tan queen, and is snug-itting cap
covered with pearl beads and rhine
stones.
