EXPLANATION IS
FIRST STEP IN SUIT
IN BINGHAM CASE

LEXINGTON. KY, Sept. 26.-It is
asserted that the Kenan-Lewis heirs
to the estate of Mrs. Robert W. Bing-
ham either have started for Kentucky,
or have sent representatives, as the
first move toward filing a contest Of
the codicil to the will of the former
widow of Henry NJ. Flagler.
This action, It is expected, will be
taken this week. 1t was believed last
week that all danger of an attack
upon the codicil had passed, but now
that the body of Mrs. Bignham has
been exhumed with all the attendant
publicity II is expected that the heirs
will fight the bequest of the $5,OOO,OOO
to Judge Bingham, as provided in the
codicil.
It is now known for the first time
that the antenuptial agreement signed
by Judge Bingham freeing his fiancee
OF any obligation to give him any part
of or control over her great estate
was entered into voluntarily by Bling
ham soon after the couple became en-
gagged after having been estranged
since their childhood.
Newspaper Rebukes.
The Louisville Post has published
an editorial rebuking the investiga-
tors of the attacks on Judge Bingham
and limiting that Standard Oil has
hand in the efforts to keep the vast
estate from being split up. A feature
OF the case which is attracting atten-
ton is that neither Graham kenan
nor any of the other Kenans saw Mt
to advise Helm Bruce, Fred Forcht,
MTznArWInnNN
their Louisville attorneys, OF the Sc
cret operations at Wilmington, n. c.
A theory widely held in Louisville
and Wilmington gives this explana-
ton for the secret exhumation:
The Kenans started out to contest
the 100000 bequest to Judge Bing-
ham and they could find no evidence
to go on. Attorney w. w. Davies,
who wrote the codicil, was subjected
to a grilling cross-examination when
the codicil was probated. He was I'M
shaken. His story showed that Mrs.
Bingham herself suggested making
the codicil, and that Judge Bingham
had no knowledge of 1t.
ELIMINATION Last Effort.
other inquiries by the Kenans re-
suited in similar failures. Then, so
the theory runs, the midnight exhu-
nation was decided upon as a last
effort to get something upon which
a contest might be based and the
50, OOO. 900 diverted to the Renans.
Attorneys for Judge Bingham have
received a telegram from Shepperd
Bryan at Wilmington relative TO
Graham Kenan's statement. Mr..
Bryan says there is severe condem-
nation in Wilmington of the conduct
of the Kenan family" in the matter OF
the elimination.
Graham Kenan refuses. Mr.. Bryan
says. to give the names OF any one
present at the autopsy.

'SELF-WILLED,' WAS
REPORT OF DUMBA
ON THE PRESIDENT

That the Austrian ambassador, DIR.
Dumba, was taking an active hand in
trying to get the United States to de,
clare an embargo on munitions in
1915 is established by papers in Gov.
eminent possession.
These documents show, however.
that he abandoned hope of getting
this embargo after President Wilson
had declared against it. Instead, he
wrote his government that he was in
favor of trying for an embargo on
munitions when shipped aboard pas
senger ships, and expressed the view
that the then Secretary OF State Bryan
"and his Democratic followers" might
be favorable to such a scheme.
Whether Dumba or Won Bernstorff
spent money to influence Congress
while the embargo question was up is
not revealed. Dumba wrote his gov
eminent, however, that it might be
harmful to try to press the point
after the President. whom he styled
'self-willed." had made his announce
ment
DUmba did ask his government for
10000 to finance his press campaign,
of which some revelations have al
ready been made. Documents show
that he was anxious to cause strikes
in the Bethlehem and middle Western
steel plants. as well as at Bridgeport.
State Department communications
from Ambassador Won Bernstorf show
that he denied that Germany was
trying to buy up munitions plants to
thwart the allies. though he defended
his right to do so, and made fervid
protestations OF his innocence of any
wrongdoing in this country.
