inheriting his son Paul are made in n
bill in equity filed by Mr.. Cronan in
the Superior Court yesterday. Mr..
Albee personally and Mr.. Albee, Walter
p. Cook and John p. German. as ex-
ecutors of the will of A. Paul Keith,
are made defendants in the suit, which
seeks to have the court order enforce
ment of the alleged agreement. T
Mr.. Cronan was counsel for B. F.
Keith from 1893 to 1908. In his bill OF
complaint he alleges that in 1910, "as
well as before and after that date y
p. F. Keith was giving to various per.
sons "property of considerable value
and permitting them to interfere with
and to some extent manage some por.
tions of his business He says that
Paul demonstrated with his father. and
as result Paul was discharged from
his fathers employment.

Tn 1910. after the death of B. F..
Keith's wife. the plaintiff says. he dis
cussed with Paul Keith and with MIR.
Albee the possibility of second mar
riage and "the danger of Paufs being
largely, if not wholly. dfsinherited. He
says Paul told him at that time that his

plants which resulted in his death
some three years later. At times during
this period he was physically incapable
of attending to business, and while his
mind was sound. his mental vigor and
his Judgment were somewhat impaired.
Roth Paul and Albe then knew of and
shared the fathers confidence in the
plaintiffs capacity, Judgment and abil-
ity. They were aware of his knowledge
of the fathers peculiarities. and were
very apprehensive that most, If not all,
of the fathers property would be given
by him to persons other than Paul.
Sued Before Paurs Death
The plaintiff then charges that, "act-
ing under the influence of Albee, unduly
and selfishly exercised" Paul, after
the execution of his fathers will. made
a codicil to his own will giving Albee
most, If not all. of Paul's property. He
declares that Paul and Albee refused to
carry out the alleged oral agreement
to give him one third of the property
left by B. T.. Keith and refused to ac-
cept his offer to take a cash considera.-
tion in lieu of the one third interest.
They also refused, he says, to agree
to his proposition to refer. the contro-
versy to "a lawyer of eminent stand

NEW A. A. j. CHAMP
IS BROTHER Of MAN
Who HOLDS RECORD
Pasadena High School Lad Who
Wins All Around Honors Is
of Athletic Stock and Near to
Ideal Type.

New York, Oct. II. Omitted Press)-
Seven years ago a slim, muscular
school boy walked from an athletic
field in Pasadena, Cal. with an am
bition to become the worlds greatest
athlete.
At the age of fifteen he had taken
the colors of the Pasadena high school
into an all round championship meet
and been crowned the victor.
Recently at Jersey City this same
lad, grown to six footer of superb
build was crowned the nations premier
athlete In the national A. A. L. all
around" championship meet.
He is Samuel Harrison Thomson,
star Princeton athlete of Los Angeles,
Cal, and late of the American Expe-
dictionary Forces.
SECOND TITLE IN FAMILY.
The new champion is twenty-five
years of age. He comes of athletic
stock. Six years ago at Princeton, his
brother, Rev. Fred C. Thomson became
the national champion and set the rec
ord of 7.411h points which still stands.
In bringing the second championship
title to the family, the younger Thorn
son accumulated 6,133A points after a
battle with Larry Karimo, the noted
Finn of Detroit.
The Californian won the running
high jumy at feet 101a inches; the
$50 yards walk in :37 As; the 16 h.
hammer throw with lis, 10A inches.
He was second in the 100 yards dash
finishing one foot behind Dan Shea OF
the Pastime IN. " A. c. in IL LIS sec
conds; second in the 16 pound shot put
with So feet inches; second in the
pole vault with feet inches; second
in the 120 yard hurdle behind Karimo
who went the distance in 16 3-5 Sec
onds; second in the Sc pound weight
event with IS feet IN inches; fourth
in the running broad jump with Is
feet, y inches and fourth in the one
mile run at 5.31 Us.
GRACEFUL AND EASY.
The new champion is no Thorpe in
ability or physique but he does APP
proach close to the type of the ideal
American athlete. He has size, grace
and ease of movement almost to the
point of laziness. In the high jump he
would rise from a squatted position
ON the ground walk leisurely to the
bar and clear it with no exertion. The
same confidence and ease of action
was apparent in all his efforts.
Karimo lost the championship by
being disqualified in the $50 yard walk
He was In fourth place comfortably
and instead Of playing shrewdly for
sure points he had one of those So
called Balloon ascensions" and got

However cool nerves and steadiness
may be an attribute to a champion
and in this respect Thomson proved
himself far the superior and it enabled
