Show MarshalPs Attack
On "Kansas City STAR
HFunoeer Lacks Facts

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 1e.-"The
Kansas City Star" to-day submitted
to The Associated Press brief biogra-
ply of its general manager, A. F.
Scested, to show his status as citizen.
1t follows:
1.-The Kansas City STAR makes this
statement concerning Vice President
Marshall's attack on the loyalty of its
general manager, A. F. Seested.
"Mr. Seested was born in the town of
Ionde1rn. in Denmark, in 1864. At the
time his father was fighting in the
Danish army against Prussia. With
the Prussian occupation of that part of
Denmark, Seestcd, ST., became Ger
man subject. In 1880 he and his large
family of boys came to America. See
sted,. sr at once took steps to become
an American citizen. A. F. Seested
always believed that act made him an
American citizen. For more than
thirty years he acted as such. At the
election of 1916 he discovered that
technically he was not. The failure of
Seested, ST., to take out final papers
before his son became of age was the
cause. A. F. Seested at once set about
TO correct the technicality and early in
ls17 full citizenship was granted him
hy the United States Court in Kansas
City. In the councils of The Kansas
City Star he has been for the most
vigorous prosecution of the war and
has given freely of his time and money
to advancing it."

Widow Gets $178,412
Requests Pro-Rated, but In

Country Homes

The transfer tax appraisal Of the es-
tate OF George ". Vanderbilt, who
died in Washington, March 6, 1918,
filed in the Surrogates' Court yester-
day, shows that he did not leave a New
York estate Of sufficient value to pay
the intended residuary legacy to his

contents. 1t is understood, however,
that the figures given by Mr.. Lyons
represent the bulk of the estate.

ness of the estate here. it was neces-
sary to pro-rate the bequests. A $780,
600 legacy to the widow, Mrs Edith

$179,412, while the present value of
trust fund, intended by the testator to
be $1,000000, has been abated to $519,-
600. 1t was the intention of Mr.. Van
derbilt that his daughter should re-
ceive his residuary estate, but the ap-
praisal reveals there is no residue.
Mr.. Vanderbilt gave his widow power
to dispose OF the principal in her will
as she saw fit. If Mrs. Vanderbilt
fails to take advantage of this pro-
vision the fund is to 60 to Miss Van
