mingles with too many society women
MURRAY


From time to time there have been
predictions, predictions and prophesies
by all sorts of forecasters, that Lieut..
John Philip Sousa will, before long,
emulate other musical and theatrical
celebrities and make farewell tour
This strangulated last resort which
once worked well in alarming an over
anxious public into rushing to last
appearances" and dying-swan gasps
by departing greatness, exhausted its
efficiency long ago. One need only
recall the pitiful pleas made for the
final appearances of Patti, the once
Incompatible, in the last tour of this
country; and the narrowing recolleo-
tion Of Janauschek, who, after a tragic
stage-fall. was una BILE to arise without
assistance.
Sousa, hale and hearty as he is, has
declared that there will be no dying
swan song for him.
My farewell tour, or. to be exact,
my farewell appearance" said he re-
Gently, will be the last concert l give

Lieut.. Sousa and his world famous

October 4.
In Elsie Ferguson's newest Art
craft picture, The Marriage Price, "

theatre for the last time today, Zelda
Crosby, long associated with the
Famous Players-Lasky Corporation,

not only kept getting worse, but my

land, was born in the Doddridge neigh
borhood, November 8. 1852. She spent
her entire life in the vicinity She
did at her home near Abingdon, Aug

to Noah Plankenhorn. To this union

tiers, Elizabeth the oldest, dying in in
fancy, leaving Gertrude and Jessie,

parable loss.
In early life she was baptized in
the Methodist church. to which faith
she always lived. She was a devoted

forts to promote the happiness Of
those she loved. She was held in high
esteem by friends and neighbors, who
were never turned away when it was
in her power to lend helping hand
Well may it be truly said: She hath
done what she could and has been
called to her reward.
In the evening time, as the sun was
going down, she asked if they were
all there, bidding them goodby, saying
she was prepared to go. Besides the
Immediate family she leaves -four
grandchildren, one sister, two brothers
and many relatives and friends to
mourn her loss, but their loss is he
eternal gain.

Beyond the cares and joys and fears
Beyond the smiling and the weeping
Beyond the waking and the sleeping

STATE TO LEARN
PROPERTY LEFT
BY FAIRBANKS
Inheritance Tax Paid Only on
SAL ,O00-Estate Said to
be Worth $8,000,000.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 10.-State au-
thorities. it was reported last night,
will investigate the charges made by
Mrs. Adelaide Timmons, daughter of
the late Vice President Charles War
rem Fairbanks, in her suit to break
the will, that his estate was worth ap-
proximately s8,00o.000.
The records show that inheritance
tax was paid in this county on S441, 900
owned by the late Vice President. Last
week Healing and Hugg. attorneys for
the executors, filed a supplementary
inventory showing that Mr.. Fairbanks
owned three fourths of the 1ndianapo'
lis News at the time of his death. His
holdings in the News are supposed to
be worth more than $1,500,000.
Other Property Claimed.
Mrs. Timmons charges that besides
his interest in the News her father
had other property here which, it Is
said, was not included in the portion
on which inheritance tax was paid
State officials estimated that there is
at least 100000 more coming to the
state as inheritance tax fees if Mrs
Timmons's charges are correct.
Mrs. Timmons's complaint indicates
her father was much wealthier thar
he was supposed to be. When he died
it was the talk here that his estate
was worth probably $3,0O0,000. Inher
itance tax was paid in Illinois on his
large farm holdings.
Mrs. Timmons charges that hel
father was Of unsound mind when he
signed the will and that undue infiu
ence was brought to bear on him tc
induce him to agree to its provisions
which allowed her $4,000 annually.

New York, July 2s.-The possibility
Of the actors n managers OF the
United States coming to grips over the
disputed points in the present theat

point of probability by the formal al

For some time the actors on one
side and the managers on the other
have been preparing for a contest OF
strength, but h neutral element had
been hoping for an adjustment. The
actors. through their organization de-
manded certain contract concessions
which the managers refused. Here.
tofore the points have been argued
and arbitrated, but the actors declared
enaphatically that II the concessions
were not granted they would seek to
enforce their demands, limiting strong
ly at the closed shop ultimatum.
Thereupon the managers withdrew
from the meeting n declared that
