BINGHAM ESTATE IS
SET AT $IO7. 600, 900
Kentucky to Sue for Taxes on
This Valuation.

LEXINGTON, KY, May 7.-one hundred
and seven million dollars lie the esti-
mated value to-day Of tho estate left by
Mrs. Robert W. Bingham. formerly the
widow OF Henry NJ. F1agler.
This valuation was fixed in a report
made by representatives sent by Gov
A. o. Stanley to Florida to investigate
the worth of land. railroad and hotel
holdings. after dispositions had been
taken in New York regarding the value
Of the property as a whole.
Up to the time of to-days report. the
State OF Kentucky had claimed taxes
due on $4,000, 900, while the admins
traitor of the estate said the entire hold
ings were worth, in its opinion. about
$40.000,000.
1t is probable, now that Kentucky will
bring suit for tRxes on the estimate OF
s107.000,0 900, and while the administra-
tor has not indicated what its attitude
will be, It Is expected that It will hold
to the 100000, 900 valuation. The Florida
property has greatly increased in value
In the last year and a half, according to
the report OF State Appraiser Hardin
based on information received in Flor
ida. where he took 332 pages of depo.
sitiona
In the will left by Mrs Bingham when
she died in July. 1917, she left property
estimated worth more than $50, 900. 00C
to her niece, Mrs. Louise Wise Lewis, OF
New York.

BOYS IN
PALISADES BATTLE
Sophs Put Up Job on Twenty
fiUe Freshmen.

Except for the uncollegiate spirit of
Chief John J., O'Brten of the Hacken-
sack police twenty-five Columbia fresh
lighting the souls of half hundred
sophomores on the Palisades side of the
Hudson. The freshmen had been rounded
up by Ave sophs on University Heights
some time yesterday afternoon by the
slittering offer OF an excursion to the
Fort Lee studios where, so the sophs
told the pea green brethren, a picture
was to be made Of hazing bout. There
was no intimation that the roughhouse
before the camera would deteriorate into
the inartistic nature of an actual inter-
class brawl.
The guilelessness of the Ave sopho-
more arch plotters deceived every one
OF the selected twenty-five freshmen.
Tho party took a ferry to Edgewater
equipped with ropes, women's dresses,
tin cans. baseball bats and a consid-
cradle collection Of china ware, which
the sophs declared were important prop
critics to the making OF any comedy
film.
All was we'll till the party took to
the road leading from Edgewater TO
Fort Lee. The sophs marched for a
while with their charges, and then put
UP a plea that they were tired. The
freshmen obligingly halted at a point,
II 80 happened, where the Palisades had
become precipitious and the surround
ing woods offered q screen for whatever
might take place. 1t then flashed over
nosey freshman that there might be
something peculiar about the whole
business He SORTED through the fields
by sudden retreating movement and

Then he lit out to warn his comrades
in the Palisades. BY the time Chief
O'Brien arrived the opposing parties had

OF Justice declined to say more OF tho

made. the Police Department detectives
who are not 50 firmly committed by
tradition to silence insisted that the
identity of the bomb makers and mail

Whether the story be accurate or
otherwise. the rumor which the Gov

five well known Americans noted for
their hostility to anarchy will be fast
