CARMEL, N. Y, May 17.-An affi-
davit filed to-day with E. D. Stannard,
transfer tax appraiser for Putnam
county, by counsel for the estate of
the late Major Clarence Fahnestock,
soldier, hunter and New York club
man, shows that he left an estate of
$3,500,0OO of his own and that he held
power of appointment over an addi-
tlonal S1,00O,0O0, which amounted to a
life interest. Maj or Fahnestock, who
died in the service, was a physician.
HIS will was filed in Putnam county
several weeks ago. In it he left his
country home with its 5000 acres to
a brother, DR.. Ernest Fahnestock. He
bequeathed his jewelry to his sister,
Mrs. Helen Campbell, and her children,
and divided the rest of the estate
equally among DR.. Fahnestock and
William Fahnestock, brothers, Mrs.
Campbell and the children Of Gibson
Fahnestock.
The most valuable asset of the es-
tate, the affidavit filed to-day shows,
is a block of 1866 shares Of the First
National Bank of New York, valued
at 5000 share and aggregating about
81 100000. He also had about $780,
600 invested in the New York Central.

The first event was boxing contest
between armless men, Louis Young and
Frank McKeown. Although the gym

cided to postpone the rest of it to the
real field day, which will be held when

Louis Young, pitcher for the insti-

armless mastery of the baseball. Young
has the stump of his right arm to a
point just below the elbow. He can
throw from the crook of the elbow and

in the Massachusetts, Legislature which
will compel the state to give employ
ment to all cripples and blind persons
at wage of s25 a week. Mr.. Deitrick
declared that if the present members
of the Legislature voted against the
bill the union would run cripples
against them in the next primaries.
He said also that similar union would
soon be organized in New York.

ROdnadn Wanamnker Denies De.

iment Because of Discomfort

Rodman Wanamaker, Special Deputy
Police Commiss soner, denied last night
that 500 members of the Police Reserve
IN Staten Island had resigned in a
body, or that any of the Manhattan
regiments planned to sever their con-
nectlon with the Police Department,
Police Commissioner Enright refused
to discuss the matter.
There absolutely is nothing to this
talk OF designations and discomfort" ;"
said Mr.. Wanamaker. "The Police Re-
serves of New York are an example to
other cities, and any one who saw the
parade this afternoon must have real
'zed what splendid body of men they
are They marched in a drenchinp
downpour, and those who were on duty
stuck to their posts"
Lieutenant Colonel William R. Ma
ioney, of the Sixth Regiment, which
was reported to have resigned in a
oody following the parade, said last
night that he had not even heard talk
Of such thing.
Some Of the reserves have a feeling
that the administration should have
provided for the perpetuation of their
organization instead of allowing it to

the present law at the conclusion of
peace. But that does not amount to
discomfort"

French Tax Receipts
Show Heavy Growth
Increase in Imports Result of
Improved Transport and
Lifting of War Ban

PARIS, May 16.-Durng April the
sum of 681 ,225,90O francs (about $780,
ooo,OO0) was collected in France from
taxes and state monopolies, this being
an excess of 137,792,0oo francs over
the budget estimate and an increase Of
278600,200 francs over the correspond-
ing month of 1918. This brings the OK
cess over the budget estimate for Inc
first four months of 1919 to $40 .95s 900
francs, and the increase over the first
four months of 1918 to 744,164 500
francs.
In examination of the detailed fp-
ures notable increase in individual
imports is revealed, this being attrjb-
uted to the improvement in transporta-
tion and elimination of some pro-
hibitions upon importatons. 1t is
noted also that taxes collected in
April of this year upon imports
were greater by 70 per cent
than those of April year ago
This increase in the volume of customs
taxes is considered an infallible SIGN
that the economic situation shortly Will

SAN FRANCISCO, May 17.-Charges
that F. W. Henshaw, former State Su-

ator James G. Fair, form the basis of
suit in equity, filed here in the ST.

The plaintiffs are Lieutenant Wesley

an accounting by former Justice Hen

Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, surviving chill
dren of Senator Fair, of properties and
money estimated at s22,50O,oOo. They
ask decree giving them their shares

In 1894 the shares of the plaintiffs
in the estate were estimated as worth
$2,000,000. Mrs. Oelrichs and Mrs.
Vanderbilt have telegraphed their local
lawyers that they will resist the action.
They are said to contend that the plain
tiffs lost their rights when their
parents, acting as guardians, accepted
settlements in their behalf. The ques-
ton of whether a guardian can sign
away the inheritance rights of minor

Cali up for the one-legged potato
race!"
The young man with the crutch and
the orange striped sweater was first on
the chalk line, sending an encouraging
glance back over his crutch shoulder
to the laggards, who hobbled across the
gymnasium with the grotesque strides
of those who can manage their new
artificial limb nicely when they keep
cool, but find themselves wabbling in
moments of excitement. However, they
all got there, grinning and breathless,
and the coach, Louis Young, banged
the gong with the stump of his left
arm.
Hey, wait minute!" came shrek
from the corner. "I'll take off one leg
and rum"
So they waited for Felix, the hand
some boy with the dimples and the
laughing eyes, who can get around so
we'll on two artificial limbs that he
can discard one just as easily as not
and race anybody on crutches.
From Beggar to Draughtsman
Felix used to beg on the streets of
Reading, Penn, with the aid of those
same dimples and minus his artificial
limbs. But Miss Florence Sullivan, of
the Red Cross Institute for Crippled
and Disabled Men, found him and per-
sauded him to learn trade. To-day
he is a draughtsman employed by the
Otis Elevator Company.
But to get back to the chalk line.
Sam Lozofsky, he of the orange
sweater and the crutch, leaped away
with the first prize, by using his
crutch like vaulting pole and cover
ing ten feet in one stride.
The gymnasium rang with the
cheers of the strangest sporting au-
dience that New York ever saw-white-
haired men who had hobbled on
new science of sports for cripples
taught them agility; n-yearold boys
dragging their paralyzed legs in heavy
braces, their eyes shining with ad-

army officers and officials of the Red
